"WASHINGTON LETTER
Special 10 The Commercial.
If anyone is really inclined to take
seriously the standpat talk about Col.
Roosevelt being the Republican nom-
mee for the Presidency in 1916 let him
contemplate for a moment the resolu-
tion adopted by the Republican 8
convention of New York the other day
denouncing the Progressive proposals
to make the recall applicable to judges
as well as to other elective officers and
for the so-called review of judicial de-
cisions. There is a genuni.:e and un-
mistakable reactionary ring to the
language of this Republican resolu-
tion. It says:
“The Republican party condemns
all proposals to intimidate judges in
the discharge of their duty by threats
of a recall in case of an unpopular de-
cision and all proposals to nullify the
decisions of the courts at the will of a
temporary popular authority through
the recall of decisions.”’
The proposition for the recall of
judical decisions is Colonel Roose-
velt’s own, first enunciated by him in
the famous Charter of Democratic
speech before the Ohio constitutional
convention in Columbus in February,
1912. This proposal, together with the
proposal to make the recall applicable
to judges, Colonel Roesevelt has sup-
ported upon nearly every platform
fromwhich he has spoken in the last
18 months. &
Thus, unconsciously, and no doubt
without in the least intending to :in-
terfere with the deep laid schemes of
those Republicans who have been as-
siduously spreading the ‘‘Roosevelt’
for 1916”’ talk, these New York reac-
tionaries have furnished in one para-
graph of their platform the complete
and final answer to all of .it.
The most striking result of the .re-
cent gubernatorial primaries in New
Jersey is the opportunity given the
voters of the state fora fair and square
expression at the polls in Noyember
of their beliefs and desires with re-
gard to the great question of the reg-
ulation of trusts amd corporations.
The interest of the Jerseymen in this
question is shown hy the convincing
manner in which the New Jersey pro-
gressives showed their preference for
Everett Colby for their candidate for
the governorship. Mr. Colby made
his campaign for the nomination chief-
ly as an advocate «of the regulation of
trusts in accordance with the Progres-
sive national and state platforms. He
was opposed by Edmund :B. Osborne,
the chief feature of whose campaign
was advoeacy of a new system of lo-
cal taxation. In 19 of the 21 couuties
os the state the Progressive vote was
from 2 1-2 t0 3 to adn favor of Mr.
Colby’s issue as against Mr.Osborne’s.
The progressives of New Jersey
have thus emphatically pointed out
the issue in which they are interested.
Fortunately, the Democratic and Re-
publican primaries resulted in the
nomination of candidates whose rec-
ords on the trust question line them
up squarely in opposition-to Mr. Col-
by, and thus the issue at the polls is
sharply drawn. The Democratic
nominee is Governor James F. Fielder
who succeeded President Wilson, and
who was the Presidents cholce in the
primaries. The Republican nominee
is Edward O. Stokes, who served as
governor of New Jersey several years
a_zo.
Both Governor; Stokes and Gover-
nor Fielder have been indulging in
the recently popular political pastime
of playing ‘‘progressive’’ and they are
able exponents of that artful and de
ceitful game. But in this case the
record of each is clearly defined and
it will be extremely difficult for them
successfully to mislead the intelligent
electorate of New Jersey.
During Mr, Stokes’ term as Gover-
nor of the state the trusts increased
and thrived and not a finger was lifted
by him to check them. Mr. Stokes
has demonstrated by his aetion that
he is a disciple of the ‘let alone’
doctrine held by Aldrich, Canuon and
the rest of the Republiean agents of
special priyilege, and whieh used to
be so widely preached by standpat
spell-binders.
Governor Fielder will ‘‘point with
ppride,”” no doubt, on many oceasions
during the campaign to the famous
“‘Seven Sisters,” placed upon the
statute books of New Jersey during
bis administration by the insistent
«command of President Wilson. These
“Seven Sisters,” as the President's
New Jersey trust laws are commonly
known,swere widely heralded, at the
time of their enactment, as the last
word on the trust problem. They |
were to settle the case in New J ersey
and stand as a model for tht other 47
states of the Union to copy. But
thus far they have produced only one
result. They have deprived New Jer-
sey of revenue without exerting a
single influence for the correction of
any trust evil. The old trusts, so
thickly domiciled in New J ersey, have
remained there in large part and con-
tinued their old practices. New cor-
porations have simply taken their
charters in other etates not subject to
the possible, though remote, menace
of the ‘‘Seyen Sisters.” Governor
Fielder’s share in this inglorious rec-
ord of inaction can hardly now serve
1s proof to the voters of New Jersey |
~
that hope of a genuine settlement of
this great problem can be found in
his re-election.
No one knows better than the peo-
ple of New Jersey the futility of ex-
pecting any relief in this direction
from Mr. Stokes.
The one hope of wise and honest
action on the trust question in New
Jersey lies in the election of Everett
Colby to the Governorship. The issue
is clearly defined and cannot be
dodged.
POINTS THE WAY.
The Statement of This Hyndman
Resident will Interest our Readers.
Our neighboring town Hyndman,
points the way in the words of one
of its most respected residents:
Mrs. D. F. Bartholamew, Water
street, Hyndman, Pa., says: I was
in poor health and suffered greatly
from pains in my back and sides. I
had chills and was often dizzy.
Reading a great deal about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I began using them.
They brought prompt relief and as
1 contimned using them, I steadily
improved. I have recommended
Doan’s Kidney Pills to many other
people and I have never mown of
a case where they have failed to
prove of benefit. Doam’s Kidney
Pills made a complete and perma-
nent cure in my case and I have
had no need of a kidney medicine
‘during the past several years. 1
willingly confirm my former en-
dorsement of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
as I know that they are deserving
of all the praise given them.

Lime-sulfur Spraying
Although State Zooglst H. A. Sur-
face, of Harrisburg, and his inspectors
have discovered and are disseminating
a parasite, which is entirely «des-
troying the Sam Jose scale, Professor
Surface annoumees that it is not wise
for fruit growers to depend entirely
upon the paresite to destroy the scale
in their orchard this season, unless
knowing that it is present and at work
in great numbers. In fact he issues a
a special warning against throwing
away the spray pump, and sass that
those persons who have orchards and
want. .fruit, should find out whether
or not: they haveliving scale, and if so
prepare to spray this fall after the
leaves drop, and again next spring
before they appear, with the lime-sul-
fur solution, which has already been
so efficient in placing Pennsylvania
orchards well to the front for the pro-
duction of first class fruit.
The reposts of successful spraying
with the boiled Lime-sulfur Solution
continue to reach the office of Prof.
Surface. One of these reports showing
a very conspicuous example of the re-
sults of following the teachings of the
State demonstrator comes from Centre
county, where there is an enthusiastic
Fruit Growers’ Association which has
co-operated closely with Prof. Surface
in his public demonstration work dur-
ing the past five years. The different
members of this Association testify of
the value of this service, and one of
the conspicuous examples of success
is quoted as follows:
“Mr. J. E. Miller, of Madisonburg,
Brush Valley, Centre Co., who has
one of the State Demonstration Or-
chards. sprayed his orchard during
three years with Lime-sulfur Solution
and sold 1,000 busnels of apple at $1.00
per bushel in a season when he was
about the only person in that region
producing any apples what ever. His
sprayed trees are more vigorous, and
more fruitful than any others in that
region, either sprayed with other
material or left unsprayed.’’
The report is particularly gratifying
to the State’s demonstrator, as Prof.
Surface was the original advocate of
Lime-sulfur Solution, having proven its
value in his own orchards near Me-
ful this season. Fraitgrowers in gen-
eral have now recognized that the
methods which this Department has
shown for controlling the scale have
been the mostisuccessful, and at the
sametime least expensive that could
have been adopted, and unsatisfactory
material are giving way to the gener-
al use of the boiled Lime-sulfur Solu-
tion.

The Suffragists.
Pennsylvania suffragists will be
glad to know that the Federal Bill to
provide for Woman Suffrage now in
the U. 8. Senate will have the favor-
able vote of Senator Boies Penrose.
In a letter to a Philadelphia Suffra-
gists, Senator Penrose states:
‘‘I'have yours of recent date, urging
favorable consideration of the pas-
sage of an amendment to the Consti-
tution of the United States, relating
to suffrage for women, to be sub-
mitted to the Several States for rati-
fication. I recognize that the requst
to have this amendment submitted is
entirely fair, reasonable and logical,
and I will be glad to support such an
amendment in the Senate, with a
view of having the question-submit-
ted to the States for action.”
The school for suffrage workers,
instituted by Mrs. Carry Chapman
Catt, president of the International
Woman Suffrage Alliance, is now in
full swing in New York City, having
been opened on Soptember 22 with
125 students. Eighteen States of the
Union are represented. The purpose
of the school is to teach workers how
to engage in almost every branch of
equal franchise work and also to give
them inspiration for the work.
At the Allentown Fair, Miss Edna
Wright, the State orgamizer and Mrs.
Maud L. McCreery the popular suf-
frage speaker were assisted by day
contingents from Philadelphia con-
sisting of Miss Lida Stokes Adams,
Mrs. Harry Lovenburg, Mrs. Ellis,
Mrs. Derr and Miss Wilcox.
The throne of Holland has formally
announced that full fuffrage will be
gramted to Dutch women shortly.
At the Bedford Fair both Suffragists
and anti-Suffragists had exhibits.
The suffrage booth was presided over
oy Mrs. Harry Cessna of Bedford, as-
sisted by Mrs. E. E. Kiernan of Som-
erset, and Miss Louise Hall of Har-
risburg. The Anti booth was man-
aged by Mr. George Mann, an elder-

His anti suffrage arguments were
antique too—the favorite one being
that he believed every woman should
be provided with a home and kept in
it—a belief strangely at variance with
his practice. Mr. Hann was assisted
by Miss Eliza D. Armstrong of Pitts-
burg. :
