"The astounding street railway
bill that the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture has just passed, in observance
to an order from "Matt" Quay,
whereby every street as yet un
occupied by rails in every city, town
or village of the state is handed over
to a company that may use them
for any sort of transit it ehooses
elevated, underground or surface—
is the most villainous piece of legis
lation ever seen in this country."—
Scouten in Sullivan Herald, June 12,
HUH.
This bill was passetl finally, June
l'.itll. It was bitterly opposed by
Creasy, Paul and other Democratic
members. It was on second reading
June 4, 1901. It is interesting to
know how Seouteti's man Rogers
voted on this bill.
The first amendment was ottered
by Creasy: Rogers voted yea.
The second amendment was of
fered by Paul: Rogers voted yea.
The third amendment was offer
by Creasey: Rogers was out of
the House.
The fourth amendment was of
fered by Creasy: Rogers voted Nay.
The filth amendment was offered
b\ Creasy: Rogers voted Nay.
The sixth amendment was offer
ed by Creasy; Rogers voted Nay.
Rogers voted Yea, on final
passage of the bill.
Question. —Where did Rogers go
when he left the House after the
second amendment? Whom did
lie see? Why did he change his
mind ?
With these facts before Sullivan
county voters, do they think Scout
en's man Rogers is a safe man to
represent their interests if a rich
corporation is on the other side?
During the past week Hon. Fred.
Godcharles, the Republican candi
date for Congress in this district
met with a royal reception in
filoomsbnrg. His rooms at the
Exchange Hotel, where he estab
lished headquarters on Thursday
and Friday were crowded by hun
dreds of enthusiastic supporters.
His candidacy appeals strongly
to the younger element of the par
ty. —Bloomsburg Ev.
The Cross Forks News, a weekly
paper at Cross Forks, Pa., changed
hands last week, Oliver W. Grim
formerly of this place is the new
editor. The first issue was a breezy
number and claims to be one of the
independent family. If future
issues continue as good asthe first,
it will have a good list of subscrib
ers to draw upon for revenue.
That Scouten is in mortal fear
of the popularity of A. L- Dyer,
is evidenced by his last week Her
ald. Sucli a crazy jumble as his
leading editorial is seldom seen.
First he puts on a patronizing air.
"Friends of Dyers don't vote for
him; he has a good business; lie is
making money; his election will
confer no honor on him. He is a
good fellow, don't ruin him by
voting for him." In the next sen
tence he insinuates that his dear
friend Dyer has got a plum: that
awful Doctor Christian has given
him a plum, and behold the result!
Dyer is being led around by the
nose, by a doctor who is dead be
yond a resurection. And further
Dyer has been infected by an in
halation of the dead doctor's breath
and that has made him the dead
doctor's tool: and last of all his
dear friend Dyer is hiding all of
this rottenness behind his smiling
countenance.
If the man who writes such non
seuce as this keeps out of the insane
asylum until election he will do
well.
A. L. Dyer was unanimously
nominated by as large and intelli
gence a convention as ever assem
bled in this county. 1 lis character
for honesty and business ability
has never been questioned. It is
simply an outrage to attack him in
this manner which Scouten has
adopted.
In answer to the question askeil in
another column as to whom it was
Mr. Rogers saw when lie left the
House after the third amendment
was offered by Creasy to the Corpo
ration bill, it may he his explana
tion that he consulted with the
ghost of lienry Clay. It will be re
membered that in his speech at liu
porte, Mr. Rogers? said that lie was
j a great admirer of the great "Henry"
aild was striving to follow in his
footsteps. Hut what argument did
Henry's ghost use which persuaded
him to change his mind and vote
along with the rich corporation? Mr.
Scouten probably knows.
Our popular candidate for Con
gress to fill the unexpired term of
K. K. Polk, is a gentleman of
strict probity and sterling charac
ter, liis word is his bond and has
never gone to protest. It is little
wonder that all classes are falling
into line to help elect him for the
very important position lie now
seeks. He stands out boldly as a
creditor to his party, never having
received reward for the valued
services rendered, lie lias labored
from a slate picker up to a busi
ness man of prominence. He is a
worthy citizen and should have
your vote.
The Republican party workers
are lining up solidly to give Hon.
F. A. Godcharles a handsome ma
jority. The general impression is
that he is the man for the place,
when compared with his opponent.
In the industrial centers of the dis
trict such as Shamokin. Blooms
burg. Milton. Berwick. Mt.Carniel
and Watson tow 11 the healthiest
kind of a sentiment prevails. This
is better understood by the labor
ing classes, and they are making
a desperate attempt with their
united forces to place their friend
of labor. Fred. A. Godcharles in
the halls of Congress. Their prefer
ence for him has that decisiveness
that signifies much. This, too, at
the home of both candidates, in
Milton. Here where he is best
known the whole community honor
him for the many good acts he has
gone through with for their benefit.
He is. as is well known, at the head
of a big manufacturing concern and
the hundreds of men who have at
one time or another found employ
ment have discovered in him a
square man. He has toiled since
childhood both in securing an ed
ucation and establishing a business,
and therefore knows the worth as
reward of labor. No better com
pliment could be paid him. for a
man who takes good care of his em
ployees surely is a man.and in
these days there are many who do
not. Mr. Godcharles is needed in
Washington next term of Congress.
He is competent and will be a cred
j it to represent the voters of this
i district.

Claiming; anil Havlns.
To make the claim of possessing the
spirit of Christ is not enough. If we
have bis spirit, we shall express his
spirit. No man can be iilled with the
life of his Lord and manifest the spirit
of the devil.—Rev. L. A. Craudall, Bap
tist. Chicago.
The Rock of Salvation.
The vital principle of the Christian
church is that the religion is founded
upon Christ, the rock of our salvation.
See how the religion of Christ spreads
and increases, even as the tiny mustard
seed, from Christ through Andrew to
Simon, and so to the world.—Rev. E.
O. Moore, Congregationalism Provi
dence. R. I.
Chr! N tln ll'M I'ne of Money.
Giving money is a part of man's re
ligious life and a test of character.
Money is not only the standard of
value—a man also is valued by it. The
■world values a man by his money, and
so does Christ. The world asks, How
much does a man own? Christ asks.
How does a man use his money? The
world thinks most about money that a
man gets, Christ most about money a
man gives. And wbeu a man gives the
Worlds asks. How much has he given?
Christ asks. What was his motive?—
Rev. Dr. John 11. Prugh, Reformed
Church. Pittsburg.
The >'«lilrnt Arlntoeracy.
To belong to the church of the car
penter of Nazareth is to be of the no
blest aristocracy the earth can have.
Life is of far higher meaning than just
making a living. We common mcu
need not be just earning aud eatiug.
We may be living in the truth and
walking amid the Inspirations that
came into that life of common labor
there in Nazareth. That is one thing
the fellowship of the church of Christ
should inenu- that we partake together
here in the t,r patesl things God has.—
Rev. Pearse Pinch. Congregationalism

PENROSE CLUB'S GIFT
It Donates SSOO to the Striking Min
ers' Treasury.
The Penrose Republican Club of Phil
adelphia Is the first political organiza
tion In the state to donate funds to the
striking miners. At its last meeting
SSOO was voted to that object and a
check was promptly forwarded to Pres- |
Ident John Mitchell. The president of
the club, Sheriff Wencell Hartman, was j
endorsed by the members ior the va- !
cancy on the bench caused by the reslg- 1
nation of Judge Pennypacker. 1
TRYING TO END STRIKE
Senators Quay and Penrose Ask Pres
ident Baer to End the Trouble.
On Wednesday last Senators Quay j
and Penrose called on President Baer. j
of the Heading Railroad, and tried to
persuade him to lend his influence !
towards ending the strike In the an- j
thracite region.
The senators explained that they had j
received thousands of requests from all 1
over the state, asking them to inter- !
cede with the president of the Reading
Railroad to end the struggle. To this j
Mr. Baer replied with a type-written j
statement setting forth thp operators' j
side of it. A general discussion en
sued, but President Baer refused tore- j
treat from the position he had taken, :
and the conference was without defi- j
nite result, although Senators Quay and
Penrose urged every argument at their
command.
PENNYPACKER ENDORSED
Knights of Labor Pass Resolutions
Eulogizing the Judge.
At the last meeting of the George 1
W. Childs Assembly, N'o. 6,401, Knights j
of I.abor, of Philadelphia, the following |
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
"Whereas. The Hon. Samuel W. Pen- !
nypacker, during his many years' oc- i
cupancy of the court of common pleas :
bench, has proven himself an able, hon
orable and upright judge, and ever im- '
partial in his decisions affecting labor; '
therefore be it
"Resolved. That we hereby congrat- '
ulate htin upon his nomination for gov- i
ernor of this commonwealth, and
pledge him our most hearty and undi- ;
vided support; also
"Resolved. That the secretary be in- i
structed to send an official copy of these '
resolutions to every labor union in the j
state, as well as to the Hon. Samuel
W. Pennypacker.

Obligation to the Home.
While it is true that most persons do
not goto church often enough, there
are many who goto church too often.
No man or woman has a right to take
a class iu the Sunday school when a
Sunday school class is being neglected
at home. Any social or philanthropic
organization which makes one want to
get away from home life or home du
ties is a detriment, no matter what else '
it may be doing.—Rev. Charles Stelzle,
Methodist. St. Louis.
Faith's Satisfying Basis.
Only where the light of revelation
shines and the teachings of that reve
lation are accepted does faith find a
satisfying basis or hope rise into assur- j
auce.—Rev. Dr.Chlvers, Baptist, Brook- :
