Can lidate Stuart was given a hearty
reception and made a favorable impres
Bion npon his large audience iu Butler,
last Friday night He is a man in the
prime of life and mental vigor, and he
t lk*d as su:h and he probably made
some votes by his appearance here.
He pledged his best efforts to enact
the Republican platform into laws oi
of the state, particularly as to the right
of trolley compiuies to carry freight
#id. as to what n >w looks like the most
stupendous robbery of the State Treas
ury since "Tonnage Tax days, he
pledged a thorough investigation and
the punishment of the offenders, il
"graft" can be fastened upon them
His words w«re about as follows:
"Whether the State capitol is entitled
to the high praise which has been ac
corded it or not. if in its construction
of furnishing, there has been any fraud
or wilful extravagance—which to my
mind is almost the equivalent of franu
—surely there is no man but will agree
with me that those who havepartic-ipat
ed in or profited by such fraud should
be met with prompt punishment, and
also be compelled to make restitution.
If elected governor, I promise you, fol
ly realizing the responsibility resting
upon me, that I shall see a thor
ough investigation shall be made of the
entire question.
The other speakers of the evening
were Dr. Showalter, who presided;
candidates Murphy and Houck, J. F.
Burke and Alex McDownell. all of
whom were heartily applauded
There will be fourteen party squares
on the official ballots for some of the
counties of the state, this year, and
among the names pre-empted are Mitch
ell, Pennsylvania Blacksmith, Roose
velt, Square Deal, Nomination Paper
Party, Senatorial, Judicial Reform,
Butler Republican and Federation.
The Triennial Assessment.
MR EDlTOß:— Concerning the coming
triennial assessment I am inclined to
agree, in part, with your correspondent
of a week or two ago, viz: That the
farmer, as a class, comes nearer paying
full value taxes upon his property than
any other class of citizens—his proper
ty all being exposed to the view of the
■narrtnnr and being of such nature not
readily concealed —even were he inclin
ed to do so.
The goal to be striven fur by the as
sessors over the county in both town
sad township should be equalization of
valaea.no that you and I owning proper
ty a*UM» value pay the same tax,a
difficult task as few of us see alike. The
County
Commissioners have gone to
considerable trouble and expense in hav
ing printed for the benefit of the assess
or* the law governing their action, to
gether with instructions as to how to go
about their work. The assessor's duty
in my judgment is to visit each separate
property and to assess same at such val
ue. according to law and his instruc
tions, as his beet judgement may die
tate, taking into consideration in de
termining the value of each separate
property its improvement, location as to
market, its products, oil. gas, coal,
limestone, timber, etc., and to do away
with the custom of dividing all real es
tate in his district into two classes -
Improved and unimproved, aud fixing
an arbitrary value on each class, with
out regard to the separate value of each
piece or sub-division of land, and then
leisurely proceeding to take the last du
plicate to ascertain names and number
of acres, and proceed to make out his
duplicate or assessment accordingly.
This method does not work to the end
of riving each tax payer "a square
deal,'" there being many pieces of land
in each class of greater or less value
than others in the same class. It is a
well known fact that both in town and
township there are those whose valua
♦ions are too high and those whose val
nations are too low as compared with
Mch other, and by reason thereof, thr
one pays more and the other less than
they should—a condition that should be
religiously avoided. I think all fair
minded men and good citizens gladly
pay their fair and equal proportion of
the tax necessary to defray the necessa
ry expense of good government, but th>-
beat of us are inclined to kick and feel
righteously indignant upon discovering
that we are paying more than our next
neighbor who has equally its valuable
property as we have.
It is about time the assessors over the
county, and especially in those town
ships immediately surrounding the
Borough of Butler, and perhaps other
towns and sections of the county tra
versed by railroads, both steam and
electric, waken up and assess lands that
for years been treated bv them as un
improved meadow or swamp lands, at
something near their real value, the
bottom lands along the Connoqueness
ing creek, Bonnießrook and Coal run,
in the vicinity of Butler are very valua
ble as manufacturing sites, sites foi
railroad yards, etc., and are held at fab
nlons prices, let the assessors attempt
to buy some of the "swamp" lands in
the vicinity of the intersection of Con
noqneneseing creek and Bonnießrook
or Karns Crossing, or in the vicinity ot
the Car Works—lands assessed at s:!<]
to ST)O per acre couldn't be bought for
♦MO per acre, and the owners aie ask
ing from SIOOO to fAOOO per acre, so the
writer is pretty reliably informed. Ii
the said land owners continue to stand
in the way of improvements by holding
their lands at fabulous figures let them
pay taxes on same at least in proportion
to it* value as you and I do on some nf
our hilly farms that would not sell foi
one-tenth the money per acre offered
for the low lands or swamp section ?
above mentioned.
If the assessors fail in their duty con
nernmg the proper assessment of such
lands, wherever located, then 1 respect
folly call npon the County Commission
era to keep same in mind when the;
come to sit as a board of viewers and
equalization of values.
It strikes me that the additional mon
ey necessary to meet the growing ex
penses of our growing county should he
forthcoming from the sections of the
county that have increased, some im
iiienselv. by reason of their location and
peculiar advantage, in value, and not
njion that sectiou or sections of the
comity which are receiving little or n<;
benefit therefrom.
Let the assessors see to it that each
individual property holder in his dis
trict is asaetutetl with all h's property
separately valued and assessed, location
and all conditions of and surrounding
aame considered, and there should be
no valfcl grounds of complaint by any
of ns, otherwise we may look for trou
ble. TAX PAYER.
LAST Thursday President Roosevelt
appointed Chaa. E. Majoon to be pro
visional Governor of Cuba. The In
surgent forces are reported as disband
ing all over the island.
THE Canal Commission has decided
to step out, and let the canal be finished
by contract.
Dedicating tlie State Capitol.
The program for the dedication of the •
new State Capital was gone through at
Harrisbnrg. last Thursday, during a
drenching rain.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
station at 11:00 a. m., and was escorted
to the Capitol, where he was received,
in the rotunda, by Gov. Pennypacker,
and taken to the Reviewing Stand,
bnilt in front of the building, and
around which thousands of people were
I standing in tiie rain
! The dedication ceremonies consisted
I of the reading of a chapter from the
! Bible, a speech by Ex-Gov. Wm. A.
1 Stone. President of the State Capitol
Building Commission, one by Gov
Pennypacker. an oration bv the Presi
dent, and the benediction; followed by
i a procession by the Guardsmen
and Cadets of the state;
after which the President took
dinner with the Govermr, and then
caught the 3:00 p. m. train for Wash
ington, stopping at York, to make a
short address.
Ex Gov. Stone in his speech spoke
proudly of the work done by his com
mission, in completing the bnildiDg
within the time specified, and for less
than the amount appropriated $4,000,-
000.
From his speech we take the follow
ing:
"The law under which the building
was constructed, contemplated a com
pleted building, ready for occupancy.
We found that in addition to the money
necessary for that purpose, we could
spare one hnudred and ninety thansan 1
dollars for decorations. Contracts were
therefore made with Mies \ iolet Oakley.
George Gray Barnard and Edwin A.
Abbey for mural paintings and sculp
ture. , .. .
'Theamount paid and to be paid to
the contractors, George F. Payne &
Company, is $3,522,638,12; the amount
to Miss Violet Oakley is $20,000.00; the
amount to George Grey Barnard i*
$100,000.00; the amount to Edwin A.
Abbey is $70,000.00; the architect's com
mission amounts to $185,681.90; the
amount paid to competing architects is
$.->,000.00. The expenses of the commis
sion. including salaries to employees,
amounted to #50,830 04 leaving in the
hands of the commission $45,*00.04.
Gov. Pennvpacker began his short ,
speech of acceptance with the sentence:
"The Capitol is much more than the
building in which the Legislature holds
its sessions, the courts sit in judgment,
and the Executive exercises his authori
ty here. It is a concrete manifestation
lot the importance and power of the
State, and an expression of its artistic
development. Intelligent oDservers who
look upon the structure and examine
the proportions, the arrangements and
the ornamentation, are enabled to divine
at what stage in the advance of civili
zation the people have arrived, and to
determine with sufficient accuracy what
have been their achievements in the
past, and what are their aspirations for
the future."
And then talked history and art, but
had nothing to say regarding the nearly
nine million of dollars taken from the
Treasury for extra "trimmins", and
furniture.
President Roosevelt stood in the rain,
like the rest, with his coat collar turned
up and made a splendid speech, or.e
that should be read by every citizen of
the state,
He talked of the early history of the
state, and resurrected the memory of
one of our early patriots, Justice James
WilsoD, whose "career has been singu
larly overlooked for many years"; com
plimented the state on the work of
last winter's extra session, also Senator
Knox, who was present, on his work in
the "Northern Securities" case, spoke
of what has been accomplished by late
legislation bv Congress in the matters
of great public improvements, and the
curbing of the great corporations and
promised more of it; and ended with
these sentences;
"It behooves us Americans to look
ahead and plan ont the right kind of a
civilization, as that which we intend to
develop from these wonderful new con
ditions of vast industrial growth. It
must not be, it shall not be, the civili
zation of a mere plutocracy, a banking
house, Wall-street-syndicate civiliza
tion; nor yft can there be submission to
class hatred, to rancor, brutality, and
mob violence, for that would mean the
end of all civilization. Increased
powers are susceptible of abuse as well
as use; never before have the opportuni
ties for selfishness been so great, nor
the results of selfishnes so appalling; for
in comuinnities where everything is
organized on a merelv selfish commer
cial basis, such selfishness,if unchecked,
may transform the great forces of the
new epoch into powers of destruction
hitherto unequaled
"We need to check the forces of greed,
to insure just treatment alike of capital
and of labor, and of the general public,
to prevent any man, rich or poor, from
doing or receiving wrong, whether this
wrong be one of cunning or of violence.
Much can be done by wise legislation
and by resolute enforcement of the law.
But still more must be done by steady
training of the individual citizen, in
conscience and character, until he
he grows to abhor corruption and greed
and tyranny and brutality and to prize
justice and fair dealing.
"The men who are to do the work of the
new epoch mnst be trained so as to have
a sturdy self-rc«pect, a power of sturdy
insistence cu their own rights, and with
it a proud and generous recognition of
their duties, a sense of honorable obli
gation to their fellows, which will bind
them, as by bands of steel, to retrain in
their daily work at home or in their
business from doing aught to any man
which can not be blazoned under the
noonday Sun.

End or the M. E. Conference.
! Sunday evening the anniversary of
! the Missionary Society of the Confer
ence was held and nearly one thousand
: people crowded the M. E. church for
: the service. Rev. Joseph Horner,
I treasurer, read his report, showing that
' during the past year $6-1.000 was con
tributed in the Pittsburg Conference,
an increase of $»H)0O over the proceeding
! year. Officers of the Society were
• elected as follows: President. Rev. D.
L. Johnston, Butler; Vice Presidents.
i Rev. J. B. Taylor, Wavnesburg and
i Hon A. G. Williams, Butler: Secretary,
Rev. H A. Baum, Swissvale. and
treasurer. Dr. Horuer. Rev. A. B.
Leonard of the Board of Foreign
Missions, who spent t year as pastor of
| the Butler M. E church during th»
i darkest period of the War of the Re
bellion, made the address of the even
i ing. Rev. Leonard recalled some of his
| experiences in Butler, when he was
I very outspoken in his denunciation of
i j "Copperheads," etc., and for an honr
1 and thirty minutes spoke on the theme.
' i "Jesos Christ, the only Hopn of the
: , World." It is seldom that tiir- peipl«
1 • of Butler have received as much infor
■ | iiiation and as many good idet-s from
. | one man in the same length of time.
Monday morning the last business
session was held. Rev. T. N. Eaton
s presiding, while Bishop Goodsell w«s
■ putting the finishing touches ou the
, of assignments. The report of the per
' manent Committee on Tenip;.r.inCH.
' which had been referred back to the
■ committee with caustic criticisms Sat
urday, was called for, and the Com
mittee made practically the sirne re
port over again, and for two hours
there followed one of the warmest dis
> cussions that ever took place m any
Methodist Conference. The last resclu
tion in the Committee's report read as
' follows:
I Resolved, That while we do not pre
' sume to dictate the political action of
' any man, leaving it to the judgment
and conscience of such individual voter
• to use his ballot where aud when he be
lieves it will accomplish the most, for
the destruction of this enemy of God
> and humanity, nevertheless, it is onr
opinion that no Christian man should
allow his vote to be cast for any man or
' set of men who oppose the prohibition
1 of the liquor traffic: nor for any politi
cal bogs, or men coutiolled by such,
who seek to hinder legislation in favor
of temperance and prohibition, nor any
man who is opposed to a local option
Jaw for our great state, nor lor any
man who places the church, the hos
pital, the school and the siloon on the
same level.
The reference to Emery was obvious,
and many members of the Conference
held it was dragging the church into
politics and should be stricken out
Others held that its adoption was the
only thing the chnrch conjd do under
the circumstances in justice to herself.
There were motions to substitute, to
amend, to strike out, but all were lost,
and the report, with the resolution nn
changed, was finally adopted. The
vote on striking out the reference to
Emery was 45 for, 123 against.
Golden "Wedding.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather cf Tuesday moruing, October
2nd. many people were seen wending
their way to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
8. W. Badger of Concord twp., where
friends and neighbors, to the number of
about three hundred, met to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr. and Mrs Badger, uad the day
proved to be a model one for suc'i a
meeting.
The forenoon was passed in the usual
way—social conversation and hand
shaking. One beautiful part of the
meeting was the presence of two
neighboring schools At noon the
children headed by their teachers
Miss Flemming aud Miss Wick, marched
into the yard singing "America," after
which came that welcome annouce
ment "Dinner is ready."
After the older people were all seated
Rev. W. H. Sloan called them to order
and Rev. J. H. Braden asked a blessing
All seemed to enjoy the excellent dinner
which the good women had prepared,
and one was forced to believe that the
heads of the young chickens were nor
spared, Some were heard to remark
that the family physician wonld get the
most benefit from there suits of snch
a dinner.
After dinner the meeting was called
to order by Rev. J. H. Braden; O. R.
Thorne was elected ob&irman and S. B.
Badger, secretary.
On taking the chair Mr Thome made
a few remarks and then called on Rev.
Braden, the pastor of the family, who
responded in an interesting speech
which, though spiced with humor, con
tained some excellent advice to all. es
pecially those contemplating marriage".
Rev, Sloan was next called. His talk
was very good—along the line to live
right means to die right.
Mr. W. C. Findley of Butler gave an
interesting talk, and in behalf of Mr.
and Mrs. Badger he extended to all a
hearty welcome.
Short speeches were made by J. M.
Badger, Mtb. Ida Dutter and others
Miss Jessie Badger and Miss Olive
Badger responded by each reciting a
recitation.
The Misses Nora Flemming and
Geitrude Wick sang an interesting
song about school teaching.
We were then entertained by recita
tions by the teacher and pupils of the
two schools, and after singing "Twi
light is Stealing" Rev. -Sloau led in
prayer and dismissed us with the bene
diction.
Mr. and Mrs. Badger received some
very nice and useful presents, among
which was a purse of gold presented by
their children.
As night approached gooodbyes were
said with beat wishes for the couple iu
whose honor we met. B.

STUART IS DP TO DATE I
i Would Reduce Local Taxation For '
Schools and Good Roads.
WANTS MORS MONEY OF STATE
Corporations Would Thus Contribute \
More to Relieve Rural Burdens From
Individual Taxpayers.
Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican I
| nominee for governor, has made a ten-1
strike by his advocacy of greater state 1
appropriations for public schools and 1
for the improvement of public roads, j
He takes this stand with a view to j
relieving local taxation for these pur- I
poses and to lighten the burdens of
; the individuals as regards taxation and
make the corporations contribute more
freely in these directions,
j It is well known that Pennsylvania
' collects more in taxes from corpora
j tions than any other state in the
Union, and this in a measure will ac
| count for the fact that, besides meet
ing ail of the ordinary expenses of tha
state government, Pennsylvania was
; enabled to build the new state capitol
i and pay for it without having to levy
an additional tax or to borrow a singla
; dollar to do it.
Money for Schools and Roads.
' Candidate Stuart, in commenting
j rpon the subject of state taxation a
| few nights ago, said:
"While the farms and homes c* the
state have long been relieved from
taxation for stßte purposes, they are
. still heavily taxed for the support of
schools, roads and county expenses,
i "It is legitimate that they should be
taxed for the proper support of their
j local affairs, but have we not now
reached a period where they may he
rapidly relieved of taxation for schools
and roads?
I "The state has long been tending to
the policy of the support of our
srhools, as we are now appropriating
many millions to maintain them, and
I we have just inaugurated the policy of
i improving our roads under state di
rection and by appropriation from the
1 treasury.
; "We now have no state debt, and
I with our matchless progress and de
velopment of wealth our revenues must
rapidly increase, and we can safely ad
vocate the policy of gradually but
speedily making much larger appropri
ations to our educational system and
: bringing o;>r chief highways in every
I community under the same direction,
thus practically relieving the farms
and homes of the slate from all taxa
tion except such as may be necessary
for the administration of the local af
fairs in each county."
Must Protect Farmers' Interests,
j Speaking of the new meat laws and
| kindred subjects of interest to the far
j mers, Mr. Stuart said:
"The raising of cattle and the em
ployments of the dairy are essential
parts of the agricultural operations of
the state, and they should be Mastered
and encouraged in every proper and
legitimate way. The progress of agri
culture in the state is noteworthy, and
In no calling of life are the indica
tions for tl.e future more encourag
ing.
"It is said that for the amount of
brain power and labor expended upon
his work, the farmer never gets as
good a financial return as the banker,
broker or general business man re
ceives. This may be true, but in every
great emergency in the history of this
country it has been upon the farmers
that the government depended, and
they have never failed to come to the
assistance of the republic when their
services were needed. No war could
ever bo carried to a successful termi
nation if it were not for the commis
sary department.
"The farmers Interests aUould
safeguarded by both the legislative and
the executive branches of the state
government."
Logic like this is not strange to Mr.
Stuart, nor is it a means to gain an
end. His interests in the producer,
the "doer of things," dates back to the
time when as mayor of Philadelphia
he took a keen interest in those affairs
that redounded to the good of the
masses for whom he always hais had a
decided preference. His aim has al
ways been to uplift, and it is pretty
certain that the voters of this state
will show their appreciation of the man
at the polls in November.
That Bardsley Scandal.
Republican nominee for lieutenant
governor, Robert S. Murphy, in a re
cent speech, said, in part:
"We have not been affected by the
slander and abuse and the denuncia
tion heaped upon the Republican par
ty. We believe in its honesty, believe
in Its good faith, and we believe in
the sincerity of the rank and file and
in the honesty and sincerity of the
leaders.
"I say to you that It would be im
possible for Mr. Stuart or myself to
stand in this presence if I did not feel,
and if he tl id not feel the full force
and meaning of those words.
"There is an incident, in the career
of Edwin S. Stuart during his adminis
tration of the office of mayor of Phila
delphia of which It seems to me but
fair to speak. Mr. Stuart had been
but one month in that office when, un
der th<> authority of the charter gov
erning Philadelphia, he' invoked a
clause in that authority and investi
gated a department. The result of
that investigation star ied this com
monwealth. You will recall the name
of Honest John Bardsley, city treasurer
of Philadelphia. The result of the ex
amination of that department was that
there was a defalcation of the city
funds amounting to half a million dol
lars. It was no sooner known than,
under the direction of Mayor Edwin
S. Stuart, John P>ardsley was arrested.
He was a Republican officeholder, and
up to that time prominent in the high
est degree in the respect and esteem
and confidence of the people of Phila
delphia, and as a result of that inves
tigation he pleaded guilty, and for 15
years he was confined in the eastern
penitentiary. I speak of that, my
friends, as an evidence of the abso
lute honesty and sincerity of your can
didate upon this ticket."
STUART KNOWS NO BOSS
Republican Nominee For Governor Is
a Candidate of the People.
Edwin S. Stuart, Republican candi
date for governor, is making friends
wherever he goes, says the Kane Re
publican. In the beginning of his can
vas he stated: "I have made no deals
or promises, nor has any man or set
of men any right to make deals or
I promises for me. If elected governor
I shall conduct my administration ac
cording to the oatli of office and for
the benefit and in the interest of the
only master I recognize, the people of
Pennsylvania. I state this emphati
cally now, so that he who has any
other Idea should oppose my election
and not complain afterward that he did
not understand my position, and sup
ported me under a misapprehension."
If these are not the words of an inde
pendent, honest man, where are we to
look ? Mr. Stuart "'was nominated in
mi open convention aud without lioss
ism. Every Journal in the state of
any prominence, whether Republican.
or Democratic, has acknowledged the
absolute integrity of Mr. Stuart. He i
means what he ssys.

Paint Adds Vahz -

For every dollar's worth of
paint—good paint —you put < i
your house, you add several
dollars to its value, lor the in
ference in price which proper:/
in good repair will bring over i
a shabby building is by no ;
means measured by the actual ;
cost of the improvement.
In this calculation we have |
not included the insurance feat
ure—the saving of the property
from decay.
Good paint looks well, pro
tects well, lasts well.
There are many imitations
of paint which do none of these
things, yet cost as much or
more tKan straight white lead
