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.

THE GRANGE LIBRARY.
TLIE IIILLUEIK E OF HUOKN IN TLIE HIIIKIM
OF RATRONW.
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
