THE TARIFF ON SALT. Every three people, on the average, use a barrel of salt a year. The total amount consumed last year was 26,- 872,700 barrels, which included only 1,151,133 barrels imported from for eign countries. The tariff duty on salt is 12 cents per 100 pounds in packages and 8 cents per 100 pounds if imported in bulk, according to the government statistics of imports for 1905. This large protective tariff duty allows the Salt Trust to charge about double the price salt would sell for than it would if the duty was abolished. So when the farmer buys a barrel of salt about one half the price he pays is increased profit to the Trust, because the Trust is protected from competition. The salt imported iu packages cost in the country from which it was imported, 40 cents per hundred pounds, and the salt in bulk 10c per hundred pounds. Salt can be made here at about the same cost as abroad, so the profits of the trust, it will bo seen, are enormous. As the Salt Trust is protected by the tariff from 33 to 83 per cent, or an average of over 58 per cent, every family has to pay about double for what they use in consequence of this special pro tection to the Trust. The Salt Trust is but one of many trusts that plund ers the American people and yet the Republican leaders have decided to stand pat and let the plundering con tinue. Do you Republicans feel in clined to follow your leader's pro gram ? — DOWN at Atlantic City, if we arc to believe the reports, the girls are taking their daily dips in the deep without any stockings on. If the girls can stand it, we suppose the rest of us will have to, but we blush to contemplate the ultimate result as piece by piece the girl of the beach removes her raiment. A FAITHFUL REPUBLICAN. "Bill" Cliandler is also amoug the prophets and in remitting his dollar to the Republican Congressional Com mittee advises that "stand pat" ag gregation to, "work for reform and republican victory." Really Presi ent Roosevelt ought to revise his de termination to kick this faithful one out of his position as head of the Spanish Claims Commission, for from helping cheat Mr. Tilden out of the Presidency down to virtually being called a liar in the railroad rate bill mix up, he has always shown his de termination to stand by "the old flag and an appropriation," if he could be sure of a fair share of it. Chandler is a typical and faithful Republican and entitled to sit at the table with the best or worst of them. — A GOOD many meu who yoted for Mr. Roosevelt have not yet paid their §1 assessment, or the campaign fund would have over 80,000,000, which i3 jilfet about what the trusts and insurance companies put up in 1904, for the Roosevelt campaign. THE TARIFF ISSUE IN SIMPLE. The whole tariff issue, as far as the voters can settle it, is shall the tariff rate that shelters the trusts be revised so that beiui; high enough to produce what revenue the government needs, yet not so high as lo protect the trusts from competition ? The Democrats take the affirmative side of that pro position and the Republicans the negative, the latter having decided against any tariff reform. The sensi ble voter cannot but decide to vote for a Congressman, that "is pledged to revise the tariff, by eliminating the chief part, if not all of the protection to trusts and combines, while produc ing enough revenue to run the Gov ernment, honestly and economically administered. — J. EDWARD A DUICKS of Dela ware, or somewhere, shows his appre ciation of trying to fool the people about tainted campaign funds by sending in his dollar like a real re former. PRICE ON FARM PRODUCTS FALLING. How will the Republicans justify the stand pat doctrine'! The farmer who votes the Republi can ticket is scratching his head and thinking seriously that something is wrong with the protective tariff. He finds the price of wheat in Chicago market has fallen 12 cents a bushel iu less than six weeks, he also finds the price of cotton, corn and oats falling and that all he buys still continues at top prices. He has been told by the Republican leaders and the Republi can newspapers that protectionism is the salvation of the fanner, because it increases the home market for his products and keeps up prices aud therefore produces prosperity for the farmer as well as the protected trusts. As long as the wheat crop was only a moderately good one in the United States, with short crops abroad, pro tectionism seemed to work out as the stand-pattars said it would. But now comes a bumper crop of wheat weigh ing over U0 pounds to the bushel and good prospects for crops abroad and down comes the price to the export basis—that is the price the Liverpool market, where all countries compete, is willing to pay—aud the beautiful theory of protectionism is found lack ing. The farmer finds the tariff on wheat of 25 cents a bushel is a delu sion and a snare, for of course no wheat is imported when we raise more than can be consumed here and have to hunt a foreigu market for the surplus. It will be rather awkward for Speaker Cannon, and the other Re publican speakers, iu the campaign, to elect a Congress, to explain to the farmers how the tariff protects them when they have to sell in the cheapest market and buy in the dearest. There should be no such trouble in explain ing why all the farmer buys has in creased on the average 48 per ceut. because the Republican speakers can point with pride to the prosperity of the trusts and combines who are pro tected by the tariff. It is evident that these compara tively few protected interests are of more consequence to the Republican managers, who declare they will stand pat on the tariff, than the great agri cultural interests that are the chief basis of all the wealth of the United States. — THE Cleveland Irou Age Review in its last report of the iron and steel market declares, that, "prices are ad vancing more rapidly towards those of the boom period of 1902 than con servative interests like to see." As the Steel Trust can fix the price of steel products iu this country aud is protected by the tariff from competi tion, the price it charges for its pro ducts is all the consumers can pay. When the price gets beyond that point consumption will decline and the inevitable boom-busting occur. If the tariff protection to the Steel Trust was re I need or abolished, the "conservative interests" would not have to fear, so why not help the Democrats to reform the tariff. PROTECTING BEEF PACKERS. A Press dispatch from Chicago re ports that "the President does not deem the new meat-inspection bill watertight." Nor is that the worst of it, for the same dispatch says: "under the new regulations the pack ers lose that which is declared unfit. If a more rigid examination is made before the cattle are shipped or offered for sale much of this loss would not fall on the packers." Secretary Wil son is in Chicago to arrange for close inspection of cattle at points of ship ment. This can only mean that the Administration is trying to prevent loss to the Beef Packers and throw the burden on the farmers, but it would seem that the packers are amply protected for they are not compelled to buy cattle that are not iu good condition when they arrive at the stock yard. The farmers and stock raisers should insist on a square deal and that the Administration carry out the law fairly and not attempt to protect the packers, who are quite able to care for their own interests. — THE Army scandal in the Phil ippines which is now being investigat ed shows that army officers and civil ians have made it a practice to have their furniture made and repaired at the government shops. Many offici als are involved auil it is said there is a bill of 85,000 against Gen. Corbin. When will the scandals under this Administration have an end and not one half has been told yet aud per haps never will unless a Democratic Congress is elected aud investigates all the Departments. STANDARD OIL HOCUS POCUS. The Standard Oil Company has been indicted for violating the law prohibiting rebates; but no individual is to be punished. The corporation may be fined a few thousand dollars, and the price of oil put up a cent or two on the gallon. That's all. The people will pay the bills. If the meu guilty of the nineteen separate offenses charged in the indictment were pros ecuted and sent to jail as they should be, the people would have less to pay, and less cause to complain of favorit ism in the administration of justice. If there were a Democratic President, the criminals would soon be serving their country in striped uniforms, and there would lie no such actual justifi cation of the socialistic propaganda. What do monopolists care for fines, when they can recoup, the money so paid by increasing the price of their products ? The whole proceeding at Chicago is only a bit of electioneering hocus pocus. —Woito conies from Parkersburg, W." Va., that the authorities are at a loss wnat to do with George Rosscft, the Syrian leper, and are keeping him on the move from one community to another. Why don't they send him to the state legislature ? —IT does seem rather ungracious to charge Sir Thomas Lipton a large tariff tax on the gold cup he has pre sented to the New York Yacht Club, as a prize for the yachts to race for, A TARRIFF DILEMMA. Iu lowa the Republican factious are discussing the question whether the party has "cut loose from the President" by nominating Cummins who is not a stand patter, It does seem rather unfortunate for the Cum mins faction to appear in that light, but they will have to lay the blame on President Roosevelt for deserting them aud now being on the wrongside of the tariff issue. But a much more important matter for the voters of lowa to discover is how the Republi can candidates for Congress stand on the tariff issue. Are they pledged to "stand pat" and refuse to revise the tariff ? that is, carry out the agree ment made between President Roose velt and Cannon fo run a stand pat campaign. Or do any, or all, of those candidates for Congress stand with Gov. Cummins who has been for tariff revision ? It would seem that the Republican voters of lowa who believe that the tariff shelters trusts will have to use great discrimination when they vote, and need to question their candidates for Congress as to just where they staud on the tariff issue. To vote a straight Republican ticket for Congressman would be an endorsement of the "staudpat" agree ment aud be looked upon as a com mand to put off tariff revision for au • indefinite period. —ACCORDING to the statisticians the Democrats are certain to wiu iu 37 Congressional districts that are now represented by Republicans and have more than 1111 even chance of capturing the 20 other districts neces : sary for a majority. If those iude pendent and Republican voters, who want the trust fostering tariff revised, i vote as they talk, the stand-patters • will hardly have a leg to stand on. KEEP HIM ON . THE STUMP. There has never been much prospect of the Republicans being able to hold their 1904 gains in Missouri, but ? since Secretary Shaw has taken the ! stump there, it is a cinch for the Democrats. If President Roosevelt will keep him 011 the stump iu the i doubtful states and congressional dis [ tricts, it will be a god-send tor the country in two ways, for it will keep Shaw away from the United States . Treasury, where he would be con- I stantly scheming in the interest of the Rockefeller banks, and will ensure a , large number of Republicans votiug the Democratic ticket. [ —Yor can never tell how much a i man knows by looking at him, but . sometimes you can make a mighty . close guess. — THE stork isn't in it with the I foreign immigration ageut wlieu it comes to increasing the population of I this laud of the free. — OUT in lowa the preachers are organizing a union. Rates on celesti al insurance probably will be advanc ed in that territory. — WIIY doesn't somebody call Andy Carnegie's attention to the starving peasantry of Russia? He might give them a library. — THE man whoinvente the phrase "between the devil aud the deep sea," evidently was thinking of himself in relation to the iceman aud the coal mau. — THE law of the State should compel the advertising of public mat ters in the newspaper having the larg est bonafide circulation in the com munity affected. —GEORGE I). PERKINS the de . feated Republican candidate for Gov | eruor of lowa, is trying to ease his I pent up feelings, by telling a few things in his newspaper, but no one is paying much atteution to what he says. —As the Republican leaders are only asking for a dollar from their ac tive supporters for campaign purposes, they must have determined to reduce . the price of votes in the close districts . to about the same figure. Rather a . come down from the usual price. , %, t — THERE would never have been . any Trust magnates, if Republican i laws had not fostered them. There fore change the laws instead of stand,- i ing pat as the Republicans declare is their intention. The issue is so plain . that "way-faring mau though a fool ; cauuot err therein." ! —THE Labor Unions can hardly be blamed for opposing son-in-law Lougworth for he never did a day's yvork of real labor in his life and then again Papa Roosevelt has -no ' very kindly feelings for Brother Gompers and Organized Labor since they determined to defeat the Repub -1 licans. — WHEN you come to think of how much it costs to live in these piping | times of tariff protected trusts, there should lie no wonder that ordinary Republicans, who arc not favored pap-sucking government officials, should be "rather slow" at contribut ing to the campaign fund that is to be used to elect another standpat Con gress. —Gov. LA FOLLETTE has accom plished results in Wisconsin, through iiis persistent determination that rail road rates shall lie regulated with ' fairness to both railroads and ship pers. The State railroad Commission has reduced grain rates one cent a 1 bushel. The reduction is not so great, but it shows that rates can be reduced when unreasonable. — WHEAT is ten cents a bushel 1 lower in price than last year, although , it is still protected by the tariff rate , of 25 cents a bushel. The price of all the farmers are buying is however at the top notch and in fact the price i of all trust product# protected by the i tariff, is higher this year than last. Puzzle, why do some farmers support the Republican tariff-trust policy that plunders them ? Hon. John O. McHenry's Most Excellent Address (Continued from page I.) MU. CHAIRMAN AND OKNTLKMKN : ltecent events have brought Into my life an overshadowing sorrow. Were I now to con sult my own personal preference or the wlsh t'H iif my family I would feel obliged to decline 1 hi* honor which the people of this District have so graciously accorded me. But after earnest consultation with many good friends throughout the District; livn whose conception of honor and duty are of the highest order, I have l>ecn pcrsuaucd to be lieve that I could not honorably withdraw from the contest at this late hour; that l owe a dutv toour Dvmocr.tey, a duty to the peo ple or the District, and a duty to my Govern ment In the fulfillment of which neither my IH'rsonal desire nor grief has any right to ob t rude. Believing tills, I accept this nomination and now put aside for a time the past, looking to the future with such strength and courage as God may give in * to lead, with your help aad the individual help of every citizen who Ihv lleves in honest government, the cause of the people of this Congressional District to victory in November. The Importance of Intelligent Representation. When we consider the wonderful strides which have been made by the of the ( lilted States in art, science, finance, educa tion, commerce, civic and Industrial suprem acy; when we compare our own brief history with the history of the world; when we con template the brilliant pos.-dhl Itles of our fu ture; when we stop to consider the vital im portance of government S as relating to our • national and individual prosperity and to what degree it is contributory to human hap piness, the sei> ctlon of your representative who shall become a const ruct ive pi i t of your government is a matter of most grave lm|>ort- The man who accepts this i>osltlon of trust and honor at the hands ot the voters should appntach his task with a commensurate de gree of intelligence and with a spirit of patri otism, which looks to a higher power thin the part)'boss, for guidance and strength to nee and to do the right. Our Splendid District. There is no district in the United States of greater Importance nor one In which I could feel It a greater honor to rcprcssnt than this Hlxteentli Congressional District. Our busi ness and industrial interests are so wide and • vurieJ that our representation in national legislation has ceased to be one of narrow partisanship. Our District is too great and too broad to be confined tot lie narrow limit < of the legislative policy of any one party. What we want and what we iuc going to get, if possible, is the the best part of the best poi.- clcs of all parties as relating to our own Dis trict, standing unitedly against any and all policies which may retard tlie iiidustrl.il growth of our District. Tiie high order of intelligence and industry of our people has caused a diversity of occu pation t districts of an etiual size and population enjoy. We have within our Isani dary lines .some of the most beuutiful and productive'farms to be found anywhere in Pennsylvania. As I caiue from my home in northern Columbia couuty this morning and noticed the unmistakable evidence of thrlit in the bountllul and carefully harvested croj s and the lieautlail and sub tantlal homes along the way ; and the very all teeming with . prosperity and rural happiness, I felt proud to be your friend and neighbor and one of ' you, and to be chosen as your representative is an honor worthy of any man's ambition. ' It deserves upon your candidate's part Ills ib st efforts and all theeasncstiicss and energy which he possesses to try and serve your best Interests with fidelity and with honor. In our farms and mines and factories wc have three dliect sources of productive wealth > within our District which have not only con tributed to the dignity and wealth of our I Htate, but lire contributing their full share toward our Nation's splendor and our Na tion's prosperity. > I look U|H)ii farming and mining as the basic foundation of all industry and bedeve that any legislation which works either harm r or good to these two Industries does in a cor i responding degree work either harm or good to all other classes of men, for all other ludus t ries are de|iendent either directly or indirect ly upon the production of the farm and mine for their existence. When 1 see these uioun- ! l tains ot culm hanks and realize the many hours of labor in a dangerous vocati »n which I ' they stand for; when I think of the good to ; • humanity which lias come from this toil and or the Important part the miner aud the mine ' owner Is playing In the history and progress of Pennsylvania, I shall feel proud of the hon or to represent them and their brother pro . ducer, th.? farmer, in the Halls of Congress with the fidelity of one who upholds the dig • nlty of labor, who believes In the right of or- i [ gunlzatlon, who believes in the protection of vested interests, and who believes that the men who toll with their hands arc the men who have made America great. Our Diversified Industries. 5 Our District must lie viewed as one large community, where a special benefit to one should mean an equal licnetlt to all. That . community whose employ inent is distributed through various or diversified industries is much more ficc from tlnancktl depression and Industrial disturbances than where ail are dependent upon one source of employ - | ment or Income. In this respect our District l< especially strong and we should endeavor i by ull pos-fble mc.ins to keep It so. Thus we find a large nutm.er of our people ' engaged in farming. Again we find a large number of our men profitably engaged in mining with the happy satisfaction of at least three years of uninterrupted prosperity ahead of theui, due to the wisdom and strength of 1 their organization under the able leadership of John Mitchell and Ills fellow workers. • We find large numbers of our men in the i iron or steel trade, the products from their I hands being sold In every market In the 1 world. Our looms and mills, giving employ-| ment to thousands of men and women, are busy, (jo where you may you will find on nearly every market and 1 may say in nearly I every home some article for sale or in use | 1 from the steel car to the carpet upon the floor . or the silk dress that your beautiful hostess ( wears, made by the working men and the • working women of this Congressional Dis trict. Witness our thrifty towns with beautiful buildings, showing the skill of the architect and master workman. Take from the bound ary line on the North to the boundary Him on the South, our whole District presents one ' continuous bee hive of industry and thrift. Sew our splendid mercantile cstuhllsuments and our financial Institutions, standing as } monuments not only to the men who so ably conduct them, but to the prosperity, thrift and industry of the men and women of the > communities wherein these conditions exist. Within the borders of our District we flint 5 twenty-six banking institutions with a total capital and surplus of SU.Hi|S7O,OO. and a total deposit account of 5»,">H0,:i21».00, making a grand total of 81H,12.7,000.00. These financial Institu tions not only stand as monuments to the » honor of the men who have given them such capable management but they reflect the In tegrity, thrift and Industry of the Individual members of the communities and counties, wherein they are located, showing a per ! capita wealth of 872.00 of actual surplus cash for every man, woman and chUd in our Dis -1 trict as compared to the average per capita of , the United States of SU..W. Who wouldn't feel proud to represent such a District and such a people? 1 submit In all fairness, am I not right in the statement that the needs of our District are too broad for the , confines of any single party or any single is sue? The Issue In this coining campaign will l not l>c the Issue between Democracy and Re publicanism, but it will l>e the people as against gang and trust rule. Shall the People or the Political Bosses Rule? , Are the people of Pennsylvania satisfied to continue under the control of the political bosslsm, which has been parading under the cloak of the Republican party, at the ex pense of the ta'xpayers of the State? Are t lie peopleof this District satisfied to have their representatives at Harrlsburg and W ashing ton dominated uud controlled by the Penrose machine? » If I thought tlie majority of the people of this District believed that centralization of power In both government and commercial I interests a good thing, or If I thought the poo pie of my District believe that their legislative interests will continue to be better served i under the management of the Penrose clique of politicians whose fortunes have been made ' by governmental favoritism, I would not under t hose conditions accept this nomina- —Juht as we are about togo to press the Catawissa News Item reach es us, hearing a very great surprise. There is a sort of a paper published ! in Montour county, known to be sup ported by only a few of the question able, and that support being so slim that mortgages cover all, that pub lished an article last week written by a ime shallow-minded, unscrupulous politician, with no weight or argu ment, yet liro. Kandall stooped to recognize it and publish the same, subjecting himself to the same ridicule the paper he copied it from is looked upon. liro. Randall may be surpris ed when we state that we possibly would have never heard or seen the same if he wouldn't have condescend- | ed to reprint it. Possibly no one else ( saw it ; but, liro. Kandall, you must. seek better company. A mill gains only by going, and never by standing still. Just so with a store. It makes profits for its proprietor only by doing business, and the crauk that turns the wheels is ad vertising. The cranberry crop this fall will bo larger than ever. That will be some- ( thing to be [thankful for in Novem ber, unless they charge us 30 cents for I turkeys. tion. The time has gone hv for the abject domi nation of the p ople uf a great State by a gang of corrupt politicians. The time has gone by tor the election of men for high office who take orders from Philadelphia or Pittsburg. The time has gone by for any Representative, who In his official capacity, resembles the potter's clay In the lianas of the trust manipulators ami evil |>olltical bosses. The day of reckoning has come: The call from the people Is on and the Democracy of Pennsylvania In responding to that call now finds before her a duty which ciuinot honor ably be evaded. The slumbering intelligence of the |HH>ple of a great State has been quick cm d into action by the God-given dliectlon of the forces of right, civic honor and Justice. We have come to the parting of the political ways which means that henceforth Pennsyl vania shall no longer deserve the contempt of men and nations for a government of infam ous political treachery. On November 6th will be completed another step In the ad vancement of the evolution of governmental reform and higher citizenship, by throwing oil" election of a chief executive who will repre sent the people's wishes, who will give us once more a government of and for the |>eople by placing in the Governor's chair Lewis hinery, Jr. This will not be considered a vicsory for tlie Democratic party alone but a victory for all honest citizens, who believe hi honest representation and honest govern men t and when the votes are finally recorded It will lie found that tills Congressional District has contributed 5,000 majority toward the pco- Plc's cause. The Tariff. The Republican machine and its followers are filled wltlOtlarm at the outlook. The word has gone out from Washington, from Philadelphia aud from Pittsburg to stand by the administration; stand by the organiza tion. and stand pat for pro'ectlon. I desire here and now to define my uttitudc on the tariff Issue. I will cast my vote, if elected, to sustain any tarlt! measure wheth er It Is a Republican or a Democratic measure that can bo shown to benefit the majority of the |>eople of this District. I will cast my vote. If elected, against any tariff measure re gardless of whether it is a Republican or Democratic measure If It can Iks proven to be detrimental to the majority of the citizens of inv District. Tiie diversity of our industries and the dif ferent nationalities and occupations of our people constitutes us an integral part of these United States aud of our Govern ment to the extent that that form of legislation which works a benefit to this Dlstr.ct caunot help but be beneficial to alio'her classes of people in the United States, and that which proves t » t»e harmful to this District will prove equal ly harmful to all other districts in the coun try. Therefore, we willstnid for our own Dis trict Interests first Assuming the higher pa triotic attitude that, whatever benefits our own District, works an equal benefit to the whole United States. If a certain tariff law is necessary to enable u combination ot capitalists to build up a mo nopoly of any enterprise to the destruction oi home Industry, amassing large Individual fortunes at tlie expense of the multitude, t hen my voice and vote can be counted on as being used against any such tariff measure with ull the energy I possess. Taxation Without Representation. When we consider that all taxation is but levied lor the support and needs of our local and State and National Government, It be c mics Immediately apparent that not only should the affairs of our State and Nation be honestly and economically administered hut that the people, the tollers, who make up and constitute, this Nation, should have a Just representation which under the present sys tem of corporate gmft and political control they do not get. The corporations control the political bosses ofall parties and that repre sentative iu Stale or National legislation who Is dominated either direct ly by corporate con trol or Indirectly through his subservience to political bosses Is not representing the people who elected him. When we compare the railroad and corpor ate taxation of this country with the taxation of our farms ami the homes of our citizens. It Imh-oiucs manifest immediately to any stud ent of the t-ixaUon question that the peopleof Pennsylvania and the people of the United States have the same condition confronting i them through the political chicanery of their chosen representative as that which conrront ' ed our revolutionary fathers, namely, taxa i Hon without representation. In every act of his official life your repres , tatlve should hold allegiance to no party as against the best Interests of the peopleof his District, and in my humble Judgment there Is not so much need of new and better laws as there Is for the Intelligent execution and hon est enforcement of the laws we now have. | In a progress vie nation such as ours, new conditions must necessarily arise and must be met and placed under proper gove nmeiitul coiitro 1 , The will and voice that should deter mine what this method of governmental con trol shall be, should be the voice oft he people; liu the interest ofall tlie people, and not the voice of the grafting politician, who for his own self aggrandizement or for I lie selfish In terests of iMilltlcal bosses whose private for tunes have been made at the expense of the taxpayers, perverting the people's wishes. That IsHue of State or National importance as affecting the Interests or the whole people which will not hear the light of discussion Is always a dangerous Issue. The stand pat cry Is the cry of the dark ages; the echo of slavery and an Insult to the intelligence of the Ameri can voters of to-day. Business Administrates of Government. When I see large deficits In certain branches of our Government departments it would seem to me to In- the province of your repre sentative to endeavor to so regulate ami ad- I Just such departments the same as he would do iu his own private business when he dis covered that certain departments of his busi ness were being operated at a loss, , Take for Instance the I'ostollh ». Department with our second class mall service being oper ated at a loss of one Hundred and Sixty Mil lion Dollars each year. | This loss comes from the pockets ofall tax payers. By the establishment of a Parcels Post this one item of loss would be converted Into a profit. This, of course, would not please t lie ru 11 roads nor express companies, but with the advent of a Demoefttlc House the day of R.iilroad Government will l>e replaced by a Government of the people. As 1 see the flirmer working in the field, the miner with Ills little lamp coming from the bowels of the earth; the throngs of working men and women injuring from our mills and factories at the close or their day's toil, It would seem to me that theone thought which should permeate the mind ofyour representa tive am! the one desire that should penetrate his heart should be the dcidre to do every thing which may lay iu his power to help ad vance the Interests of these working men and women, for it Is an undeniable truth that any law or condition which can he created to help them, the samelaw or condition which helps every channel of business enterprise. From the days of my childhood at my mother's knee ami from my own personal ex perience iu life, I have had drilled into my very existence the teachings of the Bible and the teachings of the Constitution, both of which declare all men to be five and equal. 1 hold, therefore, that the men and women who carry the dinner pail; and all tollers, whether of hand or br.iln, who by their production are contributing to our Nation's good, constitute the most useful members of society; the foundation and strength of our Government whose voice and Judgment should be the sole directing power for the guidance of your chos en representative. Let our efforts be to not only see that the dinner pail is loaded full but that prices may be so regulated by honest competition through the wise regulation of the tariff aiu4 the de struction of unlawful trusts that the man who toils may not have to spend all he earns to 1111 the dinner pail for himself and for his family. The true prosperity and happiness of a nation can only come by and through the prosperity and happiness of the individual men and women who make up this nation, 1 thank you gentlemen and the citizens whom you represent for tills honor. Upon tills plat form of equal fairness to all and special prlvl • leges to none—ever shi tiding Air the best inter ests of my District regardless of purty; of be ing the representative o' every man, woman and child this District regardless of station or calling: Untrammelod by party pledges or corporate control; above and beyond the dic tation of any party boss or stand-pat orders, 1 accept this nomination In the name of the people of the Sixteenth Congressional District and confidently abide their Judgment on the llth of November. —ls it not ridiculous that the law says any kind of a man may vote, and no kind of a woman may vote ? The drunkard with trembling hand, the dishonest schemer, the quarrelsome •mmoral braweler, the lowest kind of political tool may have his share in the framing of the laws, liut the l>est woman living eftuuot vote. She cannot say what laws shall rule her sous, what other laws shall control the conditions under which she plans for her family. Some women don't want to vote, but if it ever comes to that there would be a mighty change in the political conditions. —We would kindly direct the at tention of our readers to the address l of acceptance, published elsewhere, 'delivered by Hon. John G. Mcllenry lat Edgewood park 011 Tuesday. It is very interesting, sparkling with elo quence aud common sense, nud show ing the calibre of their choice for Con gress. Mr. Mcllenry is a reliued and cultured gentlennin aud will add dig-' nity to our District when he rcpresentj j I us in the Halls of Congress at Wash- j I ington.

General Passenger Agent How President Gets Salary. President Roosevelt draws a salary of $50,000. His pay comes the last day of each month, William R. Pad gett, a clerk in the treasury office car ries the President his check every time. He gets eight checks during the year for 84.106.66 and four checks for 84166.66 which makes 850.000. On one occasion when Grover Cleve land was president, a mistake was made and nine checks were drawn for 84166.55 instead of eight. At the end of the year in order to balance the accounts a check for one cent was drawn for Cleveland, which was not only one of the smallest chechs ever drawn, but the smallest check that could be used. This check was never cashed. Some time when the ex- President gets hard up he will have it to fall back on. —President Roohkvelt if a par -1 tisan first, last and all the time, aud ! there are a good mauy Republican Representatives and Senators who are trying to make the voters believe that the happiness of Mr. Rosevelt dermis ' on their re-election, whom he had just las soou sec defeated, if enough others were elected to make a Republican quorum. Have You Paid Your Taxes? If voters have not paid a State or county tax within two years preced ing the sixth day of November next they should call upon the assessor for their proper ward and have themsel ves assessed on their occupation so that they may qualify themselves to vote. They should do this not later than Wednesday, September 5th —two months before the election. The payment of a tax to qualify as a voter must be made one mouth bo fore the election, or not later than Saturday, October (!. Under the "Corrupt Practices Act" no tax can be paid for the voter by a political party, candidate or any individual, nor can a tax receipt be given the voter as a gift. The penalty for vio lation of this law is tine and imprison ment. — TIIK re|>ort that if Secretary Taft should lie elected president, he would appoint Mr. Roosevelt, Secretary of State must be a silly Summer story, for Taft knows he would have troub les enough, without having foreign attairs kept at fever heat Winter and Summer. But then what is the good 01 worrying for Taft won't be elected even if nominated. PENNSYLVANIA 4 RAILROAD Schedule in Effect May 27, 1906 Trains leave South Danville as follows; ror ('atawissa.
