"Thou Shalt Not Steal."
! The following is clipped from a
! paper giving a report of ti meeting
' of the Democratic State Committee,
: held at Ilarrisburg July IV, 1907:
"At the suggestion of W. S.
; Brennen, of Allaganey, the ehtiir
(man will fix a «lav in August
i when in avery town tn the state a
: meeting will be held at which there
i will be addresses by speakers on the
: text 'Thou shalt not steal' with ref-
I erenoe to the new Capitol disclos
j ures."
This is a new departure for the
modern saints of democracy. It
would indicate that they have just
become acquainted the Eighth Com
mandment. When the democrats
starts out as evangelists, to condemn
every one but themselves, and assert
their own purity and political self,
righteousness, they should not for
get that other Commandment:
"Neither shalt thou bear false wit
against thy neighbor," and also that
thero is another biblical injuction„
procktmed by Him who spoke as
one having authority when on earth
which is, "Judge not that ye be not
judged."
Have our democratic friends, who
as a party have not changed their
| ways, forgotten when Howell Cobb,
; Seiretary of the Treasury, and John
I Buchanan Floyd, .Secretary of War
| under the administration of James
Buchanan, how they plotted treason
against the government and deplet
ed the treasury of the United States
ot $850,n00, robbed the arsinals of
their arms aud amunitious of war,
shipped them into the South, and
scattered the army and what little
navy we had to the four coiners of
the earth and then joined in open re
bellion against the government and
tried to destroy it?
Ilave those mod< rn saints forgot
ten the balmy days of the Canal
Commission in this State, when
everything was controlled by the
democratic party and the real estate
of the fanner and mechanic taxed
for state pur|<oses, and the political
atmosphere was rank with the al
leged graft instate administration
and that of the public 'works?
Have they forgotten the remark
able exposure of Tamany Hall, New
York, under the regime of Boss
Tweed, a democratic organization
that controlled the city and state,
and was also shown to bean organi
/ation that fattened and grew rich
upon graft, plunder and organized
theft?
Have our modern democratic
saints ever been known to shout in
tne case of Cobb and Floyd, and that
of Tamany Hall, "Thou shalt not
steal?" Oh, no! We presume that
at that time they were ignorant of
the existence of the Kighth Com
mandment. On the contrary, they
have always justified and defended
the actions of Cobb and Floyd and
Tamany Hall, and have never apolo
gized for such notorious actions per
petrated by democratic leaders and
democratic organizations.
Surely, when the democratic
evangelists bombard every town in
the state in the midst of dog days,
they should not overlook the latter
injunction, "Judge not, that ye may
not be judged," and - the command
ment,"Bear not false witness against
thy neighbor."
The republican party and those in
authority are neither defending nor
apologizing for the Huston and San
dersons, or any one else who appar
ently conspired to defraud the state.
A Republican Legislature appointed
a commissioner to investigate the
frauds and make ample appropria
tion to enable the committee to
ferret out the wrong and guilty
partie*. A Republican Governor is
pledged to leave no guilty man es
cape, and he keeps his pledges. No
prominent or influential republican
who is efficient and active in the
organization or who aids in shaping
its politics, has thus fur been tainted
with graft. The Hustons and San
dersons were not active republicans
but a few years ago were proclaim
ing their self-political righteousness
and doing what they could to aid
the "Thou shalt not steal" democrats
into power.
Our candidate for state treasurer,
, Hon. John O. Sheatz, is a most cap
able, honest and upright man. He
has been tried in public life aud lias
| been in the limelight, aud has stood
i the test with honor and integrity.
' No republican should allow himself
| to be duped or deceived into voting
j the democratic slogan "Thou shalt
I not steal," and thus on the eve of
I presidential election do that which
| would be a reflection upon President
i Roosevelt's adminstration and would
be heralded as the"repudiation of th
candidacy of Senator Knox as Penn
sylvania's choice for the presidency.
"Let him tint is with nt sin first
cast the stone."
