The only defense of the extrava gant state capitol made by those re sponsible for it is that it is a beauti ful building and that Pennsylvania can afford to spend the millions paid for it, which may be true; and it is no reply to the well founded charge that the structure was given to favor ed contractors, who were paid for more than their work was worth; and that the profits were so great as to in vite the conclusion that they were divided with those who gave the work. 1 lie fact that responsible contract ors say that they would furnish light fixturs for which two millions were paid, for less than one-sixth of the sum, is convincing that there was graft in this contract; that for the in dex files is clearly open to the same suspicion; and the duplication of charges for building work in the ac counts of the building commission by charges for like work in the accounts of the commission that was entrusted with the furnishing of the capitol, cannot fail to satisfy every intelligent mind that the money spent for the capitol, beautiful as it may be, and rich as the state is, sorely besmirches it and makes its capitol an eyesore. Hie mode by which these millions were spent is not a new one. It is an old practice of officials charged with the erection of public buildings. We all remember how the cost of the Philadelphia City hall was carried up by the graft in the contract. The creation there of the Tacony company to finish the iron work is recalled by the creation of the corporation to fin ish the light fixtures for the capitol, which dissolved as soon as the work was done, just as the Tacony company did. —LOCAL politics are very quiet. Candidates are either working in a back-door way or are neglecting their opportunities, but, then the Demo crats, especially of this couuty, are very indifferent, depending on the big majorities and their (?) paper to boost them into office, unmiadful of the fact that conditions are changing and that they are not supporters to the paper they look to for a kind word. A peculiar characteristic of the politician is that he will unhesitat ingly pay some fellow with no influ ence, well togo out and work among the voters and expect the paper of his party to land him t<\the skies and direct its great influence for him with out even a word of thanks. How can you expect a paper to support you when its efforts are not apparently appreciated. Gentlemen, have you ever considered the power of the press and what you owe to it in the ad vancement of your interests and en lightenment? No f-übscriber should support a candidate or auy other per son doing business that requires ad vertising, who does not support their pajKjr, for they do not appreciate your support sufficient to make a little sacrifice for you in inviting and de claring they want your support. All they want is the office and your money. Consider this well, and be a good Democrat. If an honest, con scientious man runs for office on our ticket, that cannot afford to pay to ward a little advertising the Intelli gencer will be only too glad to aid in the cause, but, we emphatically refuse to use the influence of our columns for the advancement of any unappre ciative, petty politician who refuses to support the paper and has plenty of money to be employed in buying votes and beer, or hiring hench-men at an extravagant outlay and ignoring their best and most influential friend—the press. They may never stop to con sider how thoroughly the newspaper acquaints the voters with them and how the readers weigh what they read when they know the paper is reliable. To refuse to invite your support through your paper is a direct slur on your individual intelligence. So, you who expect to be something and know something subscribe for the paper and : lend your influence toward its better ment. v V* Feople who fish for compliments do not need long lines. They wlll\gpt their best bite* In shallow waten. OUR PRESIDENT. The president we all know to be a strenuous man, fond of speech to the people; but we sometimes have occa sion to thiuk that a reasonable, care fid discharge of the duties of his office does not correspond with his fondness for locomotion; so that now we fiud Taft administering Cuba out of hand, while the president travels up the New England coast reviewing ships and dining with sailors, and comes to Harrisbupg to dedicate our state house and dine with our governor. We have been glad to have him and hear his good advice, and are sorry he git wet, and hope he will not become ill. But still it might have been as well for a really good president to have staid in Washing ton while Taft administered in Cuba; and have kept his car to the wire that was strung directly from the Havana to the Washington palace. We may say that no harm came of the president's spreading himself out so far and that Taft was e<jual to the situation; even to the extent of select jtwv « manns liis successor, whom the IU place of lii-i owu choice. The president's readiness to endure Taft furnishes some explanation of the case and comfort with which be wanders off from the capital. It is not every man who can thus throw off care and let a deputy take it. It is a high art, and one greatly conducive to happi ness and fame. It may be that our president would be less illustrious if lie did not use so many hands to do his work, and take, so many holidays in which to celebrate himself among the people. —IN his speech at Buffalo on Sat urday night, Hearst called Judge I'arker, the late Democratic candidate for President, "a political cockroach." Jerome, liesaid, wasa "Croton bug," and Towne a "rat." Compared with the New \ ork fight, Pennsylvania's campaign thus far isn't even interest ing. — SOME people seem to be scared at the reports of a failure of the pota to crop. Blight, it is true, comes over the crop in a few sections of this ►State, but the crop is an abundant one in other localities, while Europe reports an enormous yield. They can send them over here and sell them at reasonable prices. — M EN have various ways of carry ing money. Grocers, butchers and millers carry it in a wad. Bankers in clean bills, laid full length in a pocket book. Brokers only fold the bill once, doubling the money as it were. The young business man car ries it in his vest pocket. Farmers and drovers lu their inside pockets, whether it is 850 or 15 cents. Print ers usually carry their money in other people's pockets. THE Southern Pacific Railroad has decided to make a reduction of 25 per cent, on its present rates on all commodities shipped Kast in refrigera tion cars. As a result all kinds of California fruits should become 25 per cent, cheaper here iu the Kast. But will that be the case? Will the fruit seller or the fruit consumer bene fit by this freight reduction ? We hardly think the consumer will be the favored one. — IT makes us very tired, indeed, to have merchants insist on us to urge the people to trade at home and not send away to mail order houses or big city stores for their goods, and when we go around to settle our accounts have presented to us a bill head print ed away from home or receive copy for an ad written on a letter head which never I 'trade at home." Yes, we believe in it, but those who cry out so loud and persisteutly, should certainly be first to set the example. —THE newspaper that doctors" the communications of its correspondents so as to make them say just the oppo site of what those correspondents in tended, thereby perverting the truth and diseminating bogus news, is in every sense as culpable as the man who loots a bank or deals iu gold bricks—worse, in fact, as it seeks to defraud every subscriber it has, or who may believe in its honesty. If all accounts are true, this custom is not uncommon in Philadelphia news paper offices. —IOWA'S 400,000,000 bushel corn crop is out of all danger from frost. It again stands at the head of all the States in its corn record, Illinois hav ing held that record since 1901. It is alleged that the large yield is not due so much to the increased acreage, which was only nbout 8 per cent, as to the increased yield per acre, which was fully 20 per cent. It will be re membered that the lowa railroads sent special trains all over the State, with experienced agriculturists on board, who stopped at every way sta tion and lectured ou the best methods of growing the crop. The farmers turned out to hear the lectures, fol lowed their advice and this big crop is the result. A — THE rural routes were establish ed for the benefit of rural homes, or in other words the farmers. They have proven a greater benefit and blessing to the farmers than was an ticipated by the most sanguine. A farmer who has once enjoyed the ad vantages of the rural mail service would hardly know how to live with out it. It did not come to the farmer, however, until he had many times earned it. The farmers are our heav iest taxpayers. What property they have is in plain sight and is taxed, while the city gent, at least many ot them, who deals in notes and bonds is enabled to hide his wealth from the assessor. For a quarter of a century the mail has been carried to the city home, not once, but mauy times each day. Finally the big heart of Uncle Sam has reached out to the men who feed the world.

YOUNG BACKB THEM Present Republican Tickets Made Up of Legislators Who Supported Vic* lous Bills and Put State to Enorm ous Forced Extra Ses sion. More than BO Republican state rep resentatives who, in the last regular tession, voted to protect the "white slave" dealers, gambling hells, speak easies and other vice dens of Phllar delphla against the present fusion rlominee for district attorney, D. Clar ence Glbboney, who has led the cru sades against those evils, have been renominated by the "Republicans" throughout the state to serve in the coming session of the state legislature. All this renominating of those sub servient creatures of the old bosses has been done quietly while Penrose, their guoeruau/nw \*oiuiYiv.ev"<a>niiofi and other stump speakers to strive to divert the people's attention away from the plot to have the coming legislature controlled by the same old gang against which the commonwealth has been in revolution for more than a year. Among the shields behind which the vice-den protectors, ripper voters and opponents of honest elections are striv ing to hide In the hope of thwarting the whole people of the state in the coming legislature, Is the "special cam paign committee" which is acting as an auxilllary to Penrose's state commit tee under command of Wesley R. An drews. A strenuous helper in the stumping efTorts to keep the popular mind off of the evils which can be cor rected only through the election of tho state candidates headed by Lewis Em ery, Jr., and of an honest legislature, is Robert K. Young, Republican nomi nee against Representative William T. Creasy for auditor general. Candidate Young proclaims that there is no long er any ground for. independent fighting. He has special reason to dread that fighting, for, with Creasy as auditor general, "Bob" Young would not have a chance to audit his own capitol com mission and public grounds and build ings accounts. He would have no of ficial connection with the full exposure that is bound to come if the people vote right in November, of the |9,000,- 000 "furnishing" graft over and above the $4,000,000 cost of the new capltol's walls and roof. Shielded By Creasy's Opponent. The Republican nominee for auditor general, Young, was solicitor for the capitol commission throughout all that "grafting." When the commission boasted that It had completed the capi tol without expending quite all of the $4,000,000, Young acquiesced. He was silent. Until after State Treasurer Berry started the exposure Young had never said a word to the public upon the sub ject. No man was in a more advan tageous official position than Young to know how the people were being de ceived to the extent of an extra $9,000,- j 000. Yet he remained silent while the grafters schemed to keep the whole ugly business quiet until after the coming election. Now this man as a stump speaker joins in the attempt to enable half a hundred of the worst members of the house of representa tives, not to speak of the equally venal senatorial nominees, to sneak back, unobserved, to Harrisburg. Outside of Philadelphia and Alle gheny the following 25 Republican rep resentatives who are all on the ma chine's present tickets, voted for the measures which would have checked the serving of warrants by licensed detectives, deputy constables or such special officers as were used by Mr. Gibboney and his colleagues against the spoak-easies, vice dens and gamblers protected by a corrupt municipal ad ministration: William H. Irwin, Blair; Edward E. Biedleman and Frank B. Wickersham, Dauphin; William L. Wood. Fayette; 8. Taylor North, Jefferson; William J. Thomas. James E. Watklns and the re doubtable Fred. C. Ehrhardt himself, all of Lackawanna; Frank B. McClain and John G. Housher, Lancaster Walter S. Reynolds, Lawrence; Gabriel L. Mover, Lebanon; James L. Marsteller, Lehigh's machine < ounty chairman; Calvin S. Haines, Lehigh; Edward H. Williams, George H. Ross and Griffin E. Jones, Luzerne; George A. Weida, Montgomery; James Bramhall, North umberland; Alfred D. Garner, John H. Woodward and Charles A. Snyder, Sehuyraill; George C. Mohn, Union; James Braun, Warren, and Harvey N. Farley, Wayne. All these men, now renominated, voted for bills which would have nul lified tho warrants referred to un less O. K'd by tho superintendent, chief, captain or other person In charge of the police. As the police and Machine were then constituted and related, those bills would have finished Glbboney. Representatives now renominated who are in the same class with the foregoing because they voted for the Puhl bill to tie up Glbboney and the Law and Order Society by requiring the society to make frequent and de tailed public reports about all of Its contributors and other private mat ters are Edmund James, Cambria; Oliver S. Kelsey, Clinton; L. O. Mc- Lane, Crawford, and Josiah M. Lan dis, Montgomery. One renominated representative, Frank Craven, of Washington, although "absent or not voting" on the Puhl bill, voted for the Ehrhardt deputy constable bill, which was to the same effect as the licensed detective bill. Thomas V. Cooper, of Delaware, re nominated, was "absent or not voting" i>n the Puhl and Ehrhardt bills, al though he must be credited with vot ing against the Philadelphia Ripper. Other renominated members "absent or not voting" on the Puhl bill were: John W. Carson, Beaver; Edgar R. Kiess. Lycoming, and J. W. Endsley. Somerset, with the following Ehrhardt bill voters Irwin, Beidleman, W. I* Wood. North, Reynolds, Moyer, Jones, Welda, Ross, Mohn and Farley. Omitting the counties, except In ease of men not named In the foregoing lists, the following Republican mecv hers now before the people for P* election voted for what was the pri mary cause of the commonwealth's Upheaval, the Philadelphia Ripper: Beidleman, Bramhall, Braun, Coun cilman, Craven, Ehrhardt, Endsley, Garner. Haines, Hemsher. Irwin, James, Kelsey, Krlss, Landis. Marsteller, Mc- Clain. McLane, Moyer, North, Ross, C. A. Snyder, W. J. Thomas, Watkins and Williams; with Charles A. Ambler and John H. Rex. Montgomery; Roland Flack and Joseph 8. Thomas, Bucks; Josiah Howard, Cameron, and William C. Pomeroy, Juniata. The renominated representatives who were "absent or not voting" on the Philadelphia Ripper were Carson, Farley, Jones. Mohn, Reynolds, Weida, Wickersham and Farley, with George T. Weingartner, of Lawrence county, MHI Andrew B. illtchcock. Tioga. The renominated Philadelphians, who not only voted for the vice-den protection bills, but also for the Phila delphia Ripper, the city passenger railway franchise grabs and other ouk rageous schemes of the power-intoxi cated bandit chiefs, were: j Joseph Call and John H. Riebel, 20th wa*J; Jauieg Clarency, 19th; William J. Cook. 2Gth; John R. Huhn, 36th; Edwin H. Fahey, 10th; William H. Funs ton, 30th; James A. Kennedy, 13th; Frank G. Muinma, 29th; Samuel Ripp 11th; Robert H. Smith, 39th. and Walter Strading, 31st. To avoid any confusion from the foregoing analysis of the vicious vot ing, and to provide the "country" vo ter with something'valuable to keep in his vest pocket until election day the following list of the bunch of re nominated Republican representatives, outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny, is given: Beaver —John W. Carson, R. Blair—William H. Irwin, R. Bucks—Roland Flack, R.; Joseph 8. Thomas, R. I Cambria—Edmund James, R. Cameron—-Josiah Howard, R. Clinton—Oliver S. Kelsey, R. Crawford —L. O. McLaine, R.

As seen in the previous lists, all but very few of these mon supported , the Infamous measures which precipe tated the political revolution in Philip delphia and the state. They were as servile as the worst of the Philadel phia freebooters, under the lash wield ed in the Boas mansion by Israel W. Durham, Boies Penrose and James P. McNichol. They voted not only to give freest and widest scope to the crimes of the "white-slave" dealers, the gam bling proprietors and the illicit traffic that competed with law-abiding liquor dealers, but they also blocked all the pending measures for honest elections. By standing against all the reforms j demanded by the people, they put the j commonwealth to the expense of more than a quarter of a million of dollars \ for the extra session, and now they ask the poople to re-elect them so that 1 they can block complete exposure of I the new capltol grafting, and prevent ( just restrictions upon monopolies and j law-defying corporations. STUART ALWAYS DODGED Candtdato For Governor Non-Commlt* tal On Vital Issues When Ho Was Councilman. This is a new chapter of the delin* quencies of the Republican nomine* for governor, Edwin S. Stuart, during hib five years' membership in the select council of Philadelphia. Stuart sat silent on March 27, 180«), while the chamber acted on the Phlla* delphia and Trenton railroad bill for bridge building. On the same day he declined to vote on the $4,600,000 loan bill, although he Is recorded as voting on the very next measure in order, which was only for laying gas pipe, and therefore was not likely to get hini into hot water. At the following meeting he was on hand but withheld his vote from the all Important ques tion of no revising the street lines as to carry Broad street, the city's princl- j pal thoroughfare, under the "Connect- I lng"rallroad. Immediately after this I there came up a harmless little paving j bill and right bravely did Stuart cast * his vote for it in sheer defiance of all critics. A remarkable day of fighting and heavy work in select council was June 19, 1890, but Mr. Penrose's candidate was then among the missing. The' Frankford and Southwark railway bill ' for extension over many streets was I considered, as was the bill letting the ; Union Railway do a lot branching out ! on Stuart's own Point Breeze avenue. Long Lane, Wharton street and other highways near his residence. Whether It was these, or the electric and other corporation bill* that were considered, that kept Stuart away on that day, deponent sayeth not But a few days later the coming up of the Germantown Railway extension bill found Stuart i again absent. It was then only about six months ahead of the primaries that nominated him for mayor, and the candidate was becoming more circum spect than ever, if it was possible for | him to add to his reputation as a ' dodger. It would be wearisome togo on with the railroad and corporation dodging ; alone, and yet Mr. Stuart's five-year i service—or omission of service—in Be- j lect council was thickly dotted with ; other artful dodging as Important, and often more amusing than the foregoing chapter. Hhlpahape on Land. One of the quaintest charitable Insti tutions in the world is the Royal Alfred Home For Aged Seamen, which houses 100 English mariners In the outskirts of London. It Is supported entirely by voluntary contribution. The main idea has been to make the place as home like as possible, and to this end an ef fort has been made to preserve In large measure the environment to which tbe Inmates are accustomed. The dormitories are cut op into tiny cabins, as on shlpbourd, and In place of the familiar iron cots these veterans of the sea turn in at night in bunks and : stow their clothes and other precisely as they would on board ship,. Day and night the hours and half hours are struck on a ship's bell In the main j hall, and even in the mess room the ' atmosphere of the sea is retained as an aid to appetite. The house governor is j himself an old sea captain of forty j years' experience in commanding men, ; and his rule is entirely along nautical lines. Th« Fish If«i A etirions custom was at one time In vogue at Gloucester, Mass., which It i lustra ten the sacredness which seems to surround a fish net and the protec tion which the law affords that class of I property. Whenever It became neces sary to quarantine a bouse because of smallpox or other contagious disease the quarantine was effected by string- , !ng nets about the building on the out- 1 Bide. The penalty for disturbing a net r was so great that no one dared to die with the barrier. * CAPITOL CRAFT OF BOSS MARTIN'S MAN pMnjpackff Responsible For Loot- I of Surplus. WOULD STUART DO *ETT«RT Accusing Contractors Ready to Help Legislative Investigation to Find Out Who Got, tha Secretly Ab itraotad Millions. Probing to the bottom of the new capltol graft Is assured by the Demo cratic and Independent nominees for the state legislature, If enough of them shall be elected In November. In Philadelphia the fusion nominees for , the state senate havu already signed a pledge to that effect, and the repre sentative candidates on the anti-ma chine ticket will do tha same thing, i State Treasurer Berry promises to j delve into what he believes to be | "overcharges" of at least $2,600,000 in the 19,000,000 paid for "furnish , Ings" over and above the $4,000,000 for which the building was to be "com pleted." Berry's first discovery of over he held up until'Tie learned trom me Cramp shipbuilding Arm that It would supply, tbe same kind of pole for $75 If the capltol authorities would give the firm three or four men for three days or so, to erect the pole. In the amazing "gall" of the archi tect, Joseph M. Huston, be claims t» have been economical as the state'a servant, although he bagged for his own pocket, as the official report ad mits, half a million dollars as fees and commissions. Had not Berry made the exposure, the only part of this enormous Huston graft that the public would have known about is the $lB5 000 paid to the architect for de signing the walls and roof. All the rest of the half million was for de signing the "furnishings." Huston's first political appearance was as the protege of Boss David Martin, In the loth ward, Philadelphia. Martin, find ing him a voluble talker, sent him as a delegate to conventions, and gave iihlm standing as a "worker." But with the rise of Durham and McNichol, who drove Martin back Into his corner, Huston "went along" with the new powers, just as Martin wished . his friends to take care of themselves aft er his Influence declined. Pannypacker Responsible. Congressman Graham, of Allegheny, member of the capltol commission, re fers to the strong advice of Governor Pennypacker as largely Influencing the i extravagant secret expenditures of the | extra $9,000,000. Graham tells of the I governor's repeated urging on of such ; fitting up as would establish "a grand | monument." Pennypacker, as pre«l --j dent of the board of public grounds j and buildings, stands chiefly responsi ble for the"going the limit" la so ! cretly drawing upon the "general un appropriated" fund of the state for t ! ie "furnishings." To Bay that Pepnyi.ack er did not know of what was going on in the board over which he presided would reflect upon his Intelligence, and he has been for many years a judge on the bc.ich. Pennypacker signed the two gen eral appropriation bills of 1903 an 1 1905. In each of those bills was the proviso that the power of the board 1 of public buildings and grounds t> buy Tnrnlture should not be regarrte I tin authorising them to help to "com plete" the capltol. The governor, while presiding over the meetings of the board whpn ontracts for "furnish ings" were let. surely not so un sophisticated as not to know that the extra millions were being abstracted from the banks for "furniture" with out the knovledse of the people There being no epeoial appropriation for the purpose, and the money sim ply having been roooped out of the : enormous surplus at the pleasure of ' the noard, leaving ten mlllolns, more j or less. In the depositories all th<> I while, the people could not have ' known anything about the matter until ■ the honest, vigilant State Treasurer I Berry exposed It. Would Stuart Do Better? ■Would' any of the Republican state officials have exposed It? The answer Is that eveA Pennypacker waited until he and his fellow members were found ! otrt by Berry before they felt that they | must make a report. Pennypacker. like the rest, remained silent while the commonwealth was being deceived by the boast that the capltol had been "completed" within the original ap propriation. Now, with a governor who was supposed to he a gooft law- I yer, and, In money matters at least, a man of Integrity, lending himself to this colossal fraud upon the people's credulity, what better could be ex pected from the governorship In the hands of Edwlu S. Stuart, who Is not only not a lawyer and Is lacking In the particular ability conceded to Pen nypacker, but has also mr.de, as a se lect councilman In Philadelphia, a five year record lull of Instances of dodg j lag ail of tha more Important Issues i that came up for action In the select j chamber. Particularly as to matters affecting corporations or tha street railway monopoly nud steam rail roads. Stuart's rule was to bo "absent or not voting." for the reason that he dreaded to display backbone If he possessed It, which Is very doubtful In view of his refusal to comply with requests from the leading citizens of his city, st the opening of the munici pal revolution, to lend his name to, or show himself at the town meetings of protest against the "gas lease" and other grabs of the public plunderers. Since the .exposure of payment of $2,000,000 for the lighting fixtures. It has been suggested that the "solid brass" or "solid bronze" chandeliers, paid for In the peculiar manner of "by the pound," ought to be bored Into for the purpose of seeing whether the 154.50 per pound was not paid for lead , poured Into hollow brass or bronze. As fusion nominee for state senator, Vivian Frank Gable, chairman of the Lincoln campaign committee, says there Is a vaat amount of boring, prob ing and digging to be done by the next legislature Into the $9,000,000 "fur nishings," and the first thing he will do, If elected, will be to offer a reso lution for a thorough legislative in quiry Into the whole business. It is already told to reporters by respon sible contractors In Philadelphia, that John H. Sanderson, of that city, was, to the best of their knowledge, tha only contractor to bid on the entire "furnishings" of the capltol, except the metal filing caaea, for which more than a million and a half dollars were paid to the Lancaster politicians, head ed by Congressman Cassel.

"The specifics tlons were so vague," says one of these contractors, "that wo could not tell JUKt what was wanted, and we were unable, without additional Informa tion, to enter a bid. Sanderson, wo un derstand. was the man who helped to draw up the specifications, and there fore knew Just what was wanted." This accuser has boon accustomed, foi years, to handle similar contracts.
