THE MORAL
OF IT.
If the eminent gentlemen compris
ing the Board of Directors of the
broken Real Estate Trust Company
of Philadelphia, who prior to the pres
ent shocking developments have posed
as models of business integrity and
civic purity, could have forseeu the
position which they themselves would
occupy within the short period of a
year, it is probable they would have
been somewhat more lenient in the
judgment passed by them upon cer
tain other of their fellow-citizens to
whom they were opposed politically.
The events of the past year in the
city of Philadelphia are so fresh in
the minds of everybody that it is un
necessary to recur to them. The men
who were dethroned from their places
of political power were denounced as
thieves and criminals for whom the
doors of the penitentiary yawned, and
the newspapers who were engaged in
exciting the public mind took great
pleasure in printing from day today
cartoons representing the discredited
and disgraced leaders in the narrow
cell, with ball and chain attachment.
The gentlemen who are now engaged
in explaining why they didn't take
better care of the millions entrusted
to their charge were the leaders in
the great movement for civic purity,
and were loudest in their denuncia
tions of the men who used their prom
inent political positions to increase
their private fortunes at the expense
of the public. That Philadelphia's
affairs were in an unsatisfactory shape
and that there was occasion for the
assertion of the majesty of the people
to correct existing evils was unques
tionably true, ami the voters accepted
as leaders the men who most vigor
ously asserted their own civic virtues
and abilities to redress the public
wrongs. The public was told that the
first duty would be to put into jail
the men who had robbed the city of
millions, and with this assurance the
people overthrew their old leaders and
entrusted affairs into new hands.
Almost a year has passed since
Philadelphia's political revolution and
the results promised prior to the elec
tion have not been realized. The
men who were denounced as thieves
and plunderers have not been sent to
jail, even suit has not been brought,
and a committee of eminent, unpre
judiced lawyers, after going over all
the evidence obtainable, has given it
as its opinion that a criminal action
could not lie sustained. That the ac
cused were guilty to a degree from a
moral standpoint in the management
of the affairs entrusted to them is
probable; that the city was robbed of
millions was a charge not susceptible
of proof and altogether improbable.
It furnished the opportunity, however,
to a number of ambitious gentlemen to
pose as the friends of the people and
pillars of integrity and virtue in the
community. The deluded public
brought their savings to the institu
tion at the head of which their names
appeared as Directors, and it was ac
cepted as a fact that in such hands it
would be carefully safeguarded. Un
fortunately for poor human nature,
it was again misled, deceived, betray
ed. The eminent citizens in whom
such great trust was reposed were so
busy calling other people thieves, and
in general looking after their own per
sonal and political fortunes, that they
had no time to devote to the greater
responsibility resting upon them.
Hippie was one of their kind, a man
who never smooked, chewed or drank,
who subscribed liberally to church
aud reform movements, and, there
fore, was competent to run the bank
without any direction 011 their part.
Like themselves, however, Ilipple
was of common clay, fell an easy vic
tim to the wiles of Segal, and when
he could stem the tide 110 longer took
the suicide's route.
The situation of the gentlemen who
were so harsh iu their criticisms of
others, but who failed so lamentably
in the performance of their own duty,
is not one to be envied. It may be
that some arc nearer the felon's" cell
than the men whom they condemned
with such assumed righteous indigna
tion and affected virtue a few short
mouths ago. One of the lessons is,
that in this world of change and mor
tal weaknesses, it may be well not to
be so hasty iu our judgments; that J
probably the man we arc prone to
condemn is nut as black as be ap
pears to onr prejudiced vision, and
that by exercising the proper charity
we extend that which we ourselves
may long for, when the pitfalls of
life present themselves. The position
of the emiueut Philadelphians who as
Directors betrayed their trust and are
now the objects of universal execra
tion is certainly one not to be envied,
but it points a moral which every per
son should heed.
—TALKING about reform spelling.
May be Carnegie and Roosevelt were
reading the Intelligencer and kindly
took to the letters of .Jeremiah Grimes
and John Lauterbox.
—THE entire issue of 880,000,000
of two per cent. Panama Canal
bonds has been subscribed for, the
bids averaging above 103,94. This
is believed to be the first time that any
government has succeeded in selling
two per cent, bonds at a premium.
—MOST of the misery of Washing
ton is the child of unthrift—this
thing of spending more than your sal
ary and s| ending it before it is re
ceived, states the Washington Post.
That is what breeds usury, and usury
is the implacable enemy of content.
—IT must be plain to everybody
who thinks about the matter at all
that the crime of passion, as part of
private revenge, if it is followed by a
certain number of acquittals, may
creato a very difficult problem for
those whose duty it is to preserve law
and order.
—IN the interest of decency and
good government, declares the New
Haven Register, it is the duty of the
press to condemn iniquity—rulers
must be handled with a free hand;
not with noisy and extravagant dis
tortion of facts, but with force and
directness, pronouncing and enforcing
condemnation as the result of absolute
proof.
—TIL'PINO or tippling—which is
the worse ? might serve as a topic for
up-to-date debating societies. We all
know the enormity of tippling, but it
i is only when one gets back from his
[ vacation—his purse empty and his
i faith in humankind shattered beyond
[ repair—that he realizes the total de-
I pravity and awful numerousuess of
I the tip-taker.
—TIIE following from a North
Carolina paper, the People's Paper,
of Charlotte, is worth remembering:
Buy a farm, young man. No matter
how small it may be, buy a farm and
prepare it so that your land will pro
vide you a living. Twenty years
from now the man that owns his farm
will be independent and will have at
his command the means of a liveli
hood. The expansion of manufactur
ing cannot go 011 forever, and there
will come a day in this couutrv, as
there has in others, when the supply
will exceed the demand aud the only
absolutely sure occupation will be
fanning. Buy a farm while one may
be had.
—THE Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad is the last big railroad to
go into the business of tree planting
on a large scale to supply railroad
ties. It has purchased a tract of land,
containing )S,(»/>9 acres, north of San
Diego, Cal., for 8100,000 on which
it proposes to plant eucalyptus trees
for the future use of the road. About
600 acres will bo planted each year,
until the entire tract is covered. As
the tree is a quick grower, it expects
that in twenty years the road will be
able to cut six or eight ties from
every tree, aud to keep up this har
vest continually thereafter. It is
true, the metal tie may come along
much sooner than that, but, at the
same time, it may not, and these roads
are wise in thus casting anchors to the
lee-ward meanwhile.
—WE are convinced that society
has never shown so high a level of
good conduct, intelligence and public
spirit as it shows to-day, declares the
London Spectator. For one young
man who remains at home togo to
the devil there are a dozen performing
the task of the state under difficult
conditions in far countries. For one
fashionable lady who lives only for
pleasure there are twenty who spend
much of their time in serious and in
telligent public work. Let any one
compare the life of a "smart" woman
as he will find it in Pope or Horace
Walpole with the life of her sister
to-day and he will grant the reality
of the change. It is not only more
innocent but infinitely more useful.
Many women 110 doubt lose a great
deal or money at bridge and get into
trouble. But there will always be
idle people to gamble, and the bridge
of to-day is a small evil compared
with the ombre and faro of a hundred
years ago, or the ecarte of fifty.
—WHITE men have been exploring
and searching this continent for a
period of more than four hundred
years. During that time they have
discovered untold quantities of wealth,
or sourcest>f wealth, of many kinds,
gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, petro
leum and precious stones, and still
new finds are made every year, if not
every week. Gold, already found iu
many localities, continues to be dis
covered in new ones. Alaska was
our latest great gold Held, but since
then Nevada and Wyoming have also
come forward with new fields. Can
ada lias a silver craze and Manitoba
reports diamonds. The only valuable
mineral that is shy of discovery is an
thracite coal. Nearly all the dewosits
thus far are confined to a very small
area in our State, and that is beiug
rapidly despoiled of its riches. Per
haps we shall yet find new sources of
supply, but the prospect is diminish
ing day by day, as the hardv pioneers
penetrate the remotest and least known
regions of the continent. Of the bitu
minous article we have enough to last
a thousand years, but of the anthra
cite we begiu to sec the end. Hut
the years are still before us and new
veins are even yet discovered where
old ones have long been worked, and
some day, perhaps, new fields may be
uncovered. i
—IN CHINA they cut the beads off
defaulting bauk presidents and cash
iers. There is not much use of such
a law in this laud, as dishonest bank
officials have adopted the custom of
blowing them off.
—THE return of Mayor Belcher, of
Paterson, and his sentence to State
prison for twelve years, upon his con
fession, meet every requirement of
tragedy and poetic justice. Here was
a man of high place, remarks the
Newark Call, who fell to the darkest
depths; who sought oblivion and
found it intolerable, and who, having
tasted the dregs, returned to face
punishment, willing to sillier all pub
lic disgrace and punishment rather
than longer endure the horrible lone
liness of unexpiated crime.
—OBVIOUSLY, an impartial com
mission of experts would be the ideal
tribunal to pass 011 all cases of sup
posed insanity. But the exact oppo
site is the case. Instead of airiving
at a joint conclusion the learned gen
tlemen take sides against each other,
and confusion is worse confounded.
It is this practice that lowers expert
scientific testimony past all hope of
that respectful recognition that it
might otherwise justly claim. The ex
perts are usually very evenly matched
and valiantly swear exactly opposite
to each other on apparently the same
facts. Even"the most intelligent
jury" is at a loss to know which is
which, and the judge is usually no
better off.
—PRINTER'S INK, liberally and
discriminately applied, is today recog
nized as one of the fundamental fac
tors in the promotion of a city or a
business enterprise. A man or body
of men may own or control a gold
mine or a diamond bed. But unless
they apprise the world of that fact,
both are likely to remain undeveloped
and unproductive. The need of per
sistent and wide-awake publicity is
the more patent in this day of fierce
commercial rivalry. Practically every
Southern city of any enterprise or
pretensions is engaged in an aggressive
campaign with the object of impress
ing its trade advantages on possible
customers, of increasing its roll of
patrons in its immediate territory,
and reaching out into new and un
touched fields.
—-THE boanl of trade of"the city
that docs things," Williamsport, has
just issued ail attractive advertisement
in the form of Emerson Collins' cen
tennial address, delivered on the Oc
casion of the celebration of the 100 th
anniversary of its corporate existence
and 110 th anniversary of its found
ing, which is printed in handsome
pamplet form and contains many in
terestingly historical events of that
now 1 'ideal city for home or business.''
Originality is to be much admired,
but we believe that were boards of
trade of other towns to copy some
after this energetic, ever-watchful and
iudispensible body at Williamsport,
greater results would be seen, the
acme sooner attained, and the citizens,
too, heard to proclaim "The splendor
of the real outshines the fondest
dreams of its founders."
An Easier Remedy.
The opponents ot Democracy have
seized with avidity the feature of Mr.
Bryan's Madison Square Garden
speech which refers to ownership of
trunk line railroads by the Federal
government and of other roads by the
States. "It is more dangerous than
the silver heresy," one of the organs
of the element observes, and proceeds
to enumerate the evils which might
flow from such a policy. If Mr.
Bryan hail taken the other side of the
proposition the opponents of Democ
racy would have been equally vehem
ent and <(uite as earnest in contro
verting him. It isn't a question of
policies with them, it is a matter of
politics.
As a matter of fact, however, Mr.
Bryan didn't declare for government
ownership of railroads. He merely
suggested that as a last resort, in the
event that the railroads continue to
exercise their control of the govern
ment. Of the two evils the control
of the government by the railroads is
infinitely the worst aud more danger
ous and Mr. Bryan suggested that in
the event this pernicious and mis
chievous coutrol could not be shaken
off in any other way, the government
ownership would afford a certain
remedy. If the railroads don't want
siicli a condition of affairs all they
have to do is to let loose of the gov
ernment.
No one would deprecate the pater
nalism involved in the government
ownership of the railroads more earn
estly than the WATCHMAN. It is
contrary to all our ideas of the rela
tionship between government and
people and subversive of the funda
mental principles expressed in the
constitution. But it wouldn't be half
as bad as the ownership of the gov
ernment by the railroads and like Mr.
Bryan we believe in adopting the
lesser of the evils. Meantime, how
ever, we believe that there is a better
remedy than government ownership.
In other words, we are confident that
the defeat of the Republican party
will cure the evil.—Bellefonte Watch

How many stop to think that a
newspapers is iu no sense a child of
charity? It earns twice over every
dollar it receives, and it is second to
no enterprise in contributing to the
building of a community. Its patrons
far more benefits from its pages than
its publisher, and in calling for the
support! of the community iu which it
is published, it asks for no more than
in all fairness belongs to it.

PEO PLED KM ANU REFORM
"Farmer*' Creasy's Ringing Ad
dress of Acceptance.
KS STANDS FOR "SQUARE DEAL"
The Fusion Candidate For Auditor
General In the Fight For the Con
stitutional Rights of the People.
William T. Creasy, in accepting the
Democratic-Lincoln Party nomination
for auditor general, declared for re
form in the most emphatic manner.
He reviewed many of the changes the
people demanded for years, but which
were always denied tbem by the ma
chine.
The action of some railroads in re
ducing their rate of fare, said Mr.
Creasy, will have no bearing on the re
sult at the polls in November. It will
have no effect on the legislature of
1007, he added, declaring that the peo
ple will insist on the passage of two
cent rate legislation, the right of trolley
companies to carry freight and the
creation of a railroad commission.
Mr. Creasy 'a speech in full Is as fol
io wa:
"Mr. Chairman and Committee of No
tification of the Democratic and Lin
coln Republican State Conventions:
"Gentlemen —In accepting the nomi
nation for the office of Auditor General
I am deeply sensible of the responsi
bility which it involves.
"While I appreciate the honor con
ferred, I cannot fail to realize the fact
that personal considerations did not
influence the choice of your conven
tions, but rather the belief that the
candidate whom it named would, in
good faith and good conscience, en
deavor to discharge every duty, how
ever grave, imposed upon him alonj?
the lines of honest government and
good citizenship which are being laid
down, in no uncertain courses, in Penn
sylvania today.
"The declarations of principles and
reforms advocated by the several rep
resentative conventions of that great
body of the people of Pennsylvania
who are opposed to the existing condi
tions and methods of the administra
tion of those offices of the state gov
ernment still In the hands of the ma
chine, meet my hearty endorsement,
and are in line with my efforts in the
last six legislatures of our state.
"These platforms mean to give back
to the people their constitutional rights,
which for 30 years or more have been
shamefully trampled under foot by un
scrupulous and defiant manipulators of
a political machine run in the interosts
of predatory corporations.
"Tho result is a patch work system of
laws for the benoftt of the few at tho
expense of the many.
"In the Pennsylvania state govern
ment the auditor general's department
is the business office of the state, and
should bo run on business principles.
The reports, which are several years
behind, should be promptly made. In
no other department Is the mighty
financial growth and industrial ad
vancement of the state so clearly mani
fested.
"The duties of the auditor general are
very broad, and give him great power,
which, if properly used, will save to
the state thousands of dollars. In con-
Junction with tho stato treasurer, ho
collects and disburses annually over
$20,000,000.
"What, are the necessities of the state
government, which demand tlve produc
tion of such an immense revenue?
"There are always the expenses of tho
different departments of government,
the care of charitable Institutions, pnd
the payments to counties for school,
roads and other purposes, and yet th«
annual average balance remaining in
the state treasury exceeds $10,000,000.
"When the thoughtful citizen takes
tho time to inquire into the history of
the revenue legislation of Pennsylva
nia, he will find that the cumbersome
and expensive methods under which
the state taxes are collected are patches
upon a framework which was enacted
nearly 190 y*a#s ago. And notwith
standing the totally changod conditions
of today, the old vehicle is still driven
recklessly, and K would be difficult to
estimate the cost of the collection ol
state taxes, or explain the irrational
methods that are used to disburse or
invest the balances.
"It i9 a sound financial proposition
that the government should not be a
lender. It is also a common-sense
proposition that it i9 a poor financial
policy to exact taxes from the people
and after deducting the cost of collect
ing them to repay them. Better permit
them to remain with tho people in the
first instance.
"The man whose duty calls him to
administer the affairs of the auditor
general's department of Pennsylvania
must do his part in running the cum
bersome tax machine as It is set up,
but he is not a careful man who will
not make a thorough examination and
an overhauling of the machinery with
a view to suggesting legitimate repairs.
"The first consideration of a citizen
who has been deputized by the people
to fill a state office is their Interests.
"Tho unequal and excessive burden*
of taxation justify one who would be
come a- finance officer of the state to
safely and rightfully subscribe to the
proposition in this reform figlit, which
says:
" 'We repeat our demands for equali
sation, and recommend that the large
surplus of the people's taxes remaining
In the state treasury from year to year
be applied to the reduction of taxes for
the support of the common schools
levied in the several school districts
of the state, and to improvement of
township roads, and that the revenues
derived by the state from licenses and
personal property be retained by the
several counties in which they are
raised.'
"Your candidate for auditor genoral
in accepting this nomination, if called
to the office by the vote of the people,
promises a "square deal" to all, and
will devoto his best energies and abil
ities to administering the office faith
fully and honestly for the beßt inter
ests of the state, which are the besl
interests of the people."
NnrncA and the Clertry.
A prominent London clergyman, in
referring to the fact that tho tendency
to encourage the visitation by the cler
gy of tho sick In acute cases is less than
It was, remarked that "this is probably
one of the results of the more careful
system of modern nursing, which lnys
stress on the Importance of keeping the
sickroom quiet. The old idea was that
the friends of the sick person should
be allowed to crowd into the room.
Now the nurse shuts them out, with
good results In the main. The nurse
lias, therefore, become an exceedingly
powerful forco In regulating the ar
rangements of the modern household
when there is Illness In the home, and
It often practically rests with her, more
than with the doctor, to determine
whether the patient shall be visited bf
the parish priest."

Speech of John J. Green, Fusion
Candidate For Internal Affairs.
j PATRIOTISM ABOVE PARTY
Declares People Demand Gang Rule
Shall Cease and Corporations Forced
to Confine Their Activities Within
Charter Limits.
John J. Green, the Democratic-Lln
. coin Party candidate for secretary of
1 Internal affairs, in accepting the nomi
nation, declared that If elected he
! would use the powers of the office to
check abuses by corporations, which
I had never been done in the past by the
i Republican machine. His speech of ac
{ ceptance in full Is as follows:
i "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen —With
deep appreciation of the honor con
i ferred, I accept the nominations by
I the Democratic and Lincoln Parties
j for the office of Secretary of Internal
. Affairs. Dy the nominations which you
{ have tendered today decent citizens of
' diverse political creeds have ahown
j fkat patriotism is stronger than i*u»ty
prejudices.
"Four hundred thousand Democrats,
j subordinating party pride to public
, good, crossed beyond their party lines
to select as their candidate for the
highest place him whose life fits their
platform as the glove fits the hand,
and whose courageous manhood meets
every requirement, no matter how ex
acting.
"Hundreds of thousands of Republi
cans, earnest believers in every tenet
of Republican faith, seeking the re
demption of the state and the purifi
cation of their party, In the name of
their martyred Lincoln, have Joined
forces with their Democratic fellow
citizens and have nominated a ticket,
upon which appears the names of
three candidates selected by the Dem
ocratic convention.
"These patriotic Republicans have
left to the despollers of their party
only a party name which was kept
from them by fraud, and the shattered
remains of what was the most power
ful and the most unscrupulous ma
chine that had over plundered an
American commonwealth.
"In almost every state, as In Penn
sylvania. honest citizens are breaking
party ties where necessary, to curb
conscienceless corporations and to de
stroy corrupt political machines. Most
of the evils that afflict Pennsylvania
have come from the lawlessness of
corporations and the rapacity of the
corrupt political machine of which
they are and have been silent part
ners. The people demand thut gang
rulo shall end. and that corporations
shall divorce themselves from politics
and confine their activities within
their charter limits. Because of the in
timate relationship between quasi
public corporations and the Republican
machine, the moneys of share-holders
have been diverted to the coffers of
the gang to bribe legislatures and de
bauch the electorate In return for per
nicious corporation legislation. In
every battle that the people have
waged to regain control of the state
they hnvo found the great carrying
companies and the public utilities cor
porations openly allied with the gang,
aiding and abetting them with purse,
power and passes. The railroads of
the state have hindered the enact
ment and enforcement of those sec
tions of the Seventeenth Article of
the Constitution which are moat bene
ficial to the people. Today their gang
allies, with pretended contrition, are
promising the enactment of those safe
guards against corporation aggression
which they have so long denied.
"No taint of insincerity can be read
Into the Democratic and Lincoln
Party platforms. Since 1875 the Demo
crats have demanded what their plat
form now promises. Were the Demo
cratic and Lincoln Party platforms si-
Wal on thtt subject of cerperatton
abuses, yet the poople would know
that every needful law would be en
acted and enforced, for Lewis Emery,
Jr., In himself as to those things, has
become a platform, by 30 years' earn
est and sincere opposition to corpora
tion corruption and gang control.
Written words cannot speak with the
sincerity of deeds performed.
"The election of this determined foe
to wrong-doing will destroy the gang
and divorce corporations from poli
tics; force them to become truly com
mon carriers, open on equal terms
to all users; stop discrimination in
charges, cars and transportation facili
ties, prevent abatements, drawbacks
or rebates; destroy their control of
parallel lines; compel them to retire
from mining and manufacturing en
terprises and couflne themselves
strictly within their corporate limits;
and open again for public use the
abandoned canals In the state.
"It is the peculiar province of th*
office of Secretary of Internal Affairs,
for which I am your nominee, to ex
ercise a watchful supervision over
railroad, banking, mining, manufactur
ing and other corporations and com
pel them to confine themselves strict
ly within their corporate limits. By
statute the secretary is given power
to summon and examine witnesses,
and upon complaint made by individ
uals, he has authority to investigate
charges against corporations, and If he
find any charges well founded and be
yond the ordinary process of individ
ual redress, to certify his opinion to
the Attorney General, whoso duty It
then becomes to proceed against the
corporation in the name of the state.
"Had the machine-controlled secre
taries adequately exercised these in
qulsitorial functions of their office, in
vestigation of the Pennsylvania rail
road by the national government
would have been unnecessary. Proper
inquiry by the Department of Internal
Affairs would have disclosed the fact
that the coal-carrying companies were
unlawfully engaged in mining and
manufacturing along the linos of their
roads, and a certificate of this finding
to the Attorney General would have
compelled these law-defying corpora
tions to withdraw their activities
within their proper charter limits.
"Investigation of corporations should
ronslst of more than obtaining formal
reports as to the assets, liabilities and
volume of business done. The inquisi
tion should ascertain whether corpor
ate powers are being exceeded. It
should be as fair, Impartial and un
prejudiced as are proceedings In open
court. Corporations should not be
Jarrasscd by unreasonably frequent
examinations, but they should be
made to understand that every viola
tion of their charter will be met by
speedy investigation and prompt insti
tution of adverse proceedings.
