CASTLE KEEPS AT IT Nightly Demands Answers to Charges Emery Keeps .Dodging. MINISTERS GO TO HIS MEETINGS Clergymen Want to Know More About Character of Man Who Links the Church With the Brewery. Like a ferocious bull dog on the trail of a fleeing burglar, Homer L. Castle ' keeps everlastingly at it"in his pur Bv.it of Lewis Emery, Jr., his Demo cratfc rival for the governorship. There is no such thing as "quitting" in (Sastle's make-up, and he certainly has kept Emery on the run from the very outset of the campaign. Castle has been drawing immense crowds at many of his meetings. He must be given credit for the fearlessness and persistence with which he is conducting his campaign. He is quite as severe upon the Repub licans as he is upon the Democrats and the Lineolnites in his general crit icisms. but while he has attacked the Republican party management, he has not found an excuse to say a single word of condemnation of Edwin S. Stuart, tho Republican nominee tor governor. With Emery it has been different. At almost every meeting he has something new to present, some new reason, some new argument why Em cry should not be elected to the gov ernorship. Wherever he goes he charges that Emery is not a fit man to lie the chief executive of Pennsyl vania. He attacks him personally, as well ns on account of his official and busi ness record. A significant feature of the Castle campaign is the keen interest that is being Manifested in his canvass by clergymen of every denomination. Ministers Listen to Castle. Manv ministers attend his meetings. This in a measure may be accounted for by the fact that. Mr. Castle and Pr. Swallow were responsible for the criticisms of Emery which brought forth from Emery his now famous let ter in which be placed the brewery upon the same plane with the church, the hospital and the school. In speaking at one of his recent gatherings on the subject of the at ::ndnnce of clergymen at his meet ings. Mr. Castle said: "As soon as it began to be not«d in the papers that ministers were not i.-nl > attending our meeting, but were | taking active part and interest and were appearing upon the platform with us, then the Emery people under took to discount it by having their newspapers chronicle the fact that the ministers were attending their meet ings "The newspapers stayed at least ' near enough to the truth so that they did not say that the ministers wire ' taking any part or were approving of | the Emery campaign, but simply that ; they were In attendance. "There is perhaps no good reason j why a preacher might not goto a barroom, a dance hall or an Emery j meeting, simply to see what is going on and be able in each case to pointj oat to his people the disastrous re- : suits of visiting or consorting with j any one of the three. But the whole j trend of the church in its declarations of hostility to the liquor traffic and to all affiliations with the brewery busi- , ness are so clear and unmistakable | that it can hardly be a thinkable prop osition that the ministry of this state \ should become in any sense a partisan of Lewis Emery or those who attach ' themselves to him." What Castle Wants to Know. At every meeting Mr. Castle repeats his queries addressed to Mr. Emery, j all of which that gentleman has up to ilate failed to answer. He wants to know from Mr. Emery i ff it is not true that his immense for- ' tune was made largely from "selling out" to the Standard Oil company and then re-establishing himself as a com-' petitor in the oil business, only to again make a compact to start a new ' golden stream into his personal treas ury. He wants to know if It is not true that at this very time Mr. Emery has got a veritable "gold mine" in the Pure Oil company, which is ostensibly a competitor of the Standard, but which, in fact, has a very satisfactory and harmonious 'business arrangement by which both the Standard and the Pure Oil companies fix prices which make the oil consumers "easy marks" , for both of them. He wants to know if it is not true that there are at least two representa tives of the Standard Oil interests on tlie board of directors of Emery's Pure Oil company. He wants to know what Israel W. Durham, James P. McNichol and John M. Mack, the Philadelphia politicians, paid for their stock in the Pure Oil company, and what political influence, if any, they were to throw to the ad vantage of the Pure Oil company, oi I did they arrange a deal with the Standard? He wants to know why Mr. Emery goes about denouncing corporations for getting freight, rebates from railroads, when he admitted, under oath, before the interstate commerce commission, that his company had received such rebates. He wants to know why Mr. Emery devotes so much attention to denounc ing the Standard Oil company's meth ods when it is charged that the Emerv on company raisinad tbe tests'of its oil, and the inspector's stamps, that oi) that stood the test of only ltO \r;li st am ped as tested 350; that this was ! fraudulently done; that Mr. Emery's | company reaped the largely increased ! profits of this fraud; that Mr. Emerv | is or was practically the limery Oil company. He wants to know if Mr. Emery still places the church, the schools and the hospitals upon the same plane with the brewery. Country School.

TUe faet that so many granges are awakening to the importance of found ing grange librar i.-. a r.-ost hopeful sign. We talk a t deal about ed ucation in the gi -.iwhat it should ami should not iiu !:u!e. Of this fact we should never los ■ sij;ht: The great est thing pertaining to education is to know how to read well. Arithmetic, geography, bookkeeping, all have their place in education. They prepare the child for practical conditions, and to a great extent they develop the mind, as all mental exercise necessarily does. But the mind is really fed through reading. It grows by what it feeds upon, and if fed by the sensational stories of the newspapers and by trashy books it can never gain the heights of excellence. Let the grange library take a more prominent part in the domes tie economy of every well regulated grange. I.et the grange library be come the missing link between the grange and the home. The hook In the hands of a Patron should carry on the work begun in the grange meeting. We should select our books with care, since good books in a library tend to p.omote moral and intellectual grow tli. Books cannot be read with out exerting somo influence. They ele vate or degrade; they strengthen or weaken; they ail t to or subtract from mental force. One man reaps tares, and another gathers golden grain in the same tield because of the seed sown somewhere in his early life. Let us have more grange libraries.—New York Grange Bulletin.
