A unique feature of the coming State Sabbath School Convention to be held in Altoona, October 12, 13, and 14, will be a Pastors' Con gress. Tli' call has gone out to every pastor in the State inviting him to attend this Congress. There are about eight thousand ministers serving charges in Pennsylvania. The Congress in Altoona will bring together ministers represent ing all denominations. The theme of the Congress will be "Pastoral Leadership in Sunday School E vangelism". The Sunday School of to-day is looked upon as the greatest evangel izing agency in the Church, and greater attention must be given in securing proper conditions under which the Sunday School can do its work. Conservation of eil'ort as well as results is a Sunday school problem of vital interest to all ministers. W. G. Landes, with head quarters in the Witherspoon Build ig, Philadelphia, is the General Secretary of the State organization; and Mr. Alexander Findloy, of Altoona, has charge of the local arrangements for the Congress. The Sunday School platform brings all denominations together, and this Congress for pastors will no doubt be largely attended. Prominent clergymen from this State will address the Congress. Miss Boice, who has been the guest of Miss Fanny Meylert for the past month, has returned to her home in Philadelphia. A very pleasant party was given at the home of \V. C. Mason on Monday evening. The following people were present: Mrs. J. \V Murrelle, Mrs. E. A. Ileim, Miss Helen Phillips, Miss Olive Bar rows, Mrs. J. L. Smyth, Mrs. F. Meylert, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Ing ham, Mrs. Wm. Cheney, Miss Jes sie Wrede, Mrs. Win. Rogers, Mrs. Henry Stepp, and daughter Eliza. THE REPUBLICAN PERIL. A Bull Run Defeat in Main The truth is always 1 Hitter than a lie. The Republican party has sustained an overwhelming defeat in Maine and there is no use try ing to deny it. The Democrats have elected their candidate for governor and their whole state tic ket, with two of tin* four Congress men and a large majority in both branches of the legislature, which will give them a United States sen ator in place of Eugene Hale, the present Republican incumbent. It is said the defeat was pro duced by local causes—that the liquor interest, which violates the laws iM'hind closed doors, voted solidly for the Democratic candi dates. It is generally supposed shut it has always done so; but lo cal causes never produce such enor mous changes. It is also said that the Republican revolt was against the leadership of Mr. Hale, who has been prominent in politics, and a congressman for thirty years. There may be something in this. We have seen the spirit of jealousy and anger at the '-bosses" exhibited in our own state more than once. Mr. Hale could not possibly supply all the applicants for the limited patronage at his disposal. Some had to be favored and some others disappointed and chagrined. Prob ably the number of disappointed and cross Republicans in Maine in creased from year to year until there were enough to sink the ship in order to got rid of the obnoxious captain. If this supposition be true these malcontents have committed an act of folly seldom equaled. They can expect no favors from the Dem ocratic party, and will get none. They have put their own party in the minority where it is unable to aid them after Mr. Hale is out of the way. The Republicans of Pennsylvania should not follow their example; and we believe will not. The state convention was harmonius and the policy of President Taft's adminis tration is satisfactory to the people of Pennsylvania. Cast*: i. A u. Paris Fashions For Americans. The American woman has now reached the pass where she never buys her outiit for the season with out lirst being sure what Paris has decided upon as the fashionable thing. Following its usual custom., in augurated several years ago. The North American on, Sunday, September the 1 fS, issue its special Paris fashion number, it being an eight-page section in connection with its regular Sunday paper. The styles representative makers of lashiouable garments. After seeing them the woman can form her own idea and make her own choice of the American goods that are offered. She can make sure that she is getting up-to-date gar ments. There is always a big de mand for the North American's special fashion numbers. It is ad visable to order of the agent or newsdealer well in advance. m mmm -- An account handed in reports a "Kelly's Fricassee Hallelujah Corn Roast" held at Lake Mokoma on Friday evening by the junior class of the High School. Herbert Keel er acted as toast-master and Nel son Lawrenson made the opening address. There is something slight ly vague as to what was said but Kelly seems to have played an im portant part.

Those present were Misses Olivo Keeler, Hattie Traugh, Esther Vougli, Ida Lovelace, Ida Har tung and Messrs. Orr and Nelson Lawrenson, Rex Eddy, Samuel Kennedy, Herbert Keeler, also the members of the Senior class who however were not recognized as guests and were forced to hold a Blind-eared corn roast with no fricassee.

GREAT CROWDS GREET TENER T' Candidate For Governor Gets Fine Ovations. # " MAKES 816 HIT WITH VOTERS Republican Standard Bearer Frankly Meets Live Issues and Is Assured of Splendid Victory. John K. Tener and his associates on the Republican state ticket are being given splendid receptions and ovations on their trip through the state. Tho meetings have In almost every Instance been even larger than those witnessed In the triumphal tour of Edwin S. Stuart four years ago. Keen Interest In the success of the campaign and enthusiasm for tho nominees, manifested in every county that has been vlsltod, must fore shadow a great victory In November. Pennsylvania Republicans are har monious and aggressive, and with tho Democracy divided between Grim and Berry, the Indications are that the ma jority for John K. Toner for governor will be the largest given to any nomi nee for that office in this stato la re cent years. Believes In Education. For his clean-cut, manly and frank discussions of the Issuos of the cam paign, Candidate Tener has been com mended upon every hand, lie does not hesitate to express himself freely upon all questions and Is taking the people into his confidence as he goes from place to place, meeting the voters lace to face, and grasping thc;n by the hand and impressing all with his candor and sincerity. In chatting with a well known edu cator the other day, Mr. Tener said: "I firmly believe that education, coupled with good sound common sense, will do more to obliterate the thought of anticipated and Imaginary dangers in the future than any other agency that can be invoked. I am a firm and everlasting believer in the cause of education. It has served where modern equipment In the hands of a well-drilled militant force would have been without avail and has done more to make the United States the wonderful nation that she Is than any thing we have over known. "Build school houses, have compe tent Instructors, Interest the youthful minds, and happiness and clean, godly lives can be the only result." At Home Among Wage Earners. During the courso of an address to coal miners of Schuylkill county, Mr. Tener said: "It has been my misfortune that 1 have never visited this section of Pennsylvania before, and while I am not a stranger in a community of this kind, because I come from the soft coal region of the Monongahela river. I live with and associate with men ■who work in the mines and In the shops of that great Industrial district. On the river that flows past my door more than 9,000,000 tons of coal are floated every year, so that In coming here and seeing you, the same kind of people that we have at home, in the same line of work, I feel quite at home. I know that your lives and your thoughts and your aims are very much like ours at home and your po litical belief ought to be like ours at home. We are Republicans there be cause we believe that through the Re publican party we receive the greatest benefit. "My neighbors are the workmen of the United Mine Workers' Union, and out thore every man that works in the mine is a union man. The United Mine Workers' Union has set a high standard for themselves and for all union labor. In my opinion, because ■whenever they sign a contract with the operators they see to it that it Is fcept, so that we live tn harmony and peace." The farmers of the stae know they have a friend tn John K. Tener. While a member of congress he wag & stout champion of every measure that came before that body designed to advance the Interests of the gran ger and dairyman. Party Organization Essential. Candidate Tenor's firm belief In the Importance of maintaining a party or ganization through which to promote policies and fix responsibilities of gov [ ornment has been expressed on more than one occasion since tho canvass Was Inaugurated. Upon this question a few days ago tie said: "I believe In government In this country by political parties. I believe that the best results are secured when there are two great parties divided on civic and economic questions. "I have not In the past nor do I now believe that any permanent good can be accomplished by those spasmodic movements resulting in the organiza tion of additional parties, whose ca reers are but temporary and which have signally failed to accomplish the purposes for which they were ostensl bly brought Into existence. "I do not only believe In government by political parties, but I believe In party regularity. Each voter should take an active Interest In tho manage ment of bla own party, In the selection of a ticket and In the writing of the platform. Should conditions arise with in his party which do not appeal to him h« should earnestly strive to have Jhem eliminated " THE FORKSVILLE FAIR.
