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.

—As the Republican leaders are

-1 licans.
— WHEN you come to think of how
much it costs to live in these piping

but it shows that rates can be reduced
when unreasonable.
— WHEAT is ten cents a bushel

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-

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. We will not comment upon
the address, but present it word for
word as it fell from his lips at the'

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.
