    CAMPAIGN IffiS
WITH BtiSlffil
Pennypacker on His Tour Speaks
to Vast Crowds.
HE HAS A WORD FOR PATTISON
The Republican Candidate Shakes
Hands With Thousands of Farmers
and Addresses a Great Meeting of
Workingmen—The State Appropria
tions to Charity Discussed.
Harrisburg, Sept. 22.—Judge Penny
packer and his company of spell-bind
ers, including Senator Penrose and Ex-
PoStmaster General Charles Emory
Smith have just concluded their first
week's tour of the campaign. Every
where he has spoken, Judge Penny
packer has been greeted by great and
enthusiastic audiences that listened
with interest to his utterances.
The campaign was formally opened
at Center Hall, Center county, on
Tuesday of last week where the spell
binders addressed reveral thousand
farmers. The occasion was the annual
gathering of the Center County (iiang
ers. The great auditorium was crowd
ed and fully a thousand persons listen
ed outside unable to gain admittance.
George Dale, master of the Center
Grange, called the meeting to order
and introduced ex-Governor Daniel 11.
Hastings as presiding officer.
Prior to the opening of the mass
meeting in the auditorium Judge Pen
nypacker held a reception at which he
shook hands with the farmers and
their families who had assembled.
Ex-Governor Hastings in introduc
ing Judge Pennypacker referred to the
fact that there was never a war for
our flag waged in this country that
Judge ' -inypacker's ancestors did not
bear an honorable part.
Tho Republican candidate for gov
ernor spoke for over half an hour, and
was followed by Senator Penrose and
Ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith. It was well on towards even
ing, when the meeting, one of tne larg
est ever held at Center Hall, adjourned.
THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS.
From Centre Hall the spell-binders
went the following day to Lock Haven
where an enthusiastic reception was
tendered them. Then Judge Penny
packer and Senator Penrose went onto
Erie where they attended the annual
meeting of the State League of Repub
lican Clubs. The convention was one
of tho most enthusiastic that has been
held in years. The officers elected for
the ensuing year were: Frederick W.
Fleitz, of Scranton, president; John
R. Wiggins, John S. Durham, William
Mac Donald and John McCleary, of
Philadelphia; Robert H. Lindsay and
S. A. J. Burchfield, of Pittsburg; Wil
liam I. Swope, of Clearfield, and James
D. Hay, of Erie, vice presidents; John
Kelly, of Philadelphia, and George Lle
wellyn, of Luzerne, were elected sec
retaries; Jere. H. Shaw, treasurer, and
John D. Long, of the Harry R. Wildey
Club, of Philadelphia, assistant secre
tary.
On Wednesday night Judge Penny
packer addressed an auuicnce that
packed the Erie Opera House. He was
received with great enthusiasm by the
club men present and the hundreds of
citizens of Erie who gathered to hear
him. Judge Pennypacker in his ad
dress replied to some of Ex-Governor
Pattison's criticisms of state affairs as
follows:
A WORD TO PATTISON.
"Instead of discussing these matters
(the continuation of prosperity, and
the danger of tariff revision), which
are of vital interest to us ail and affect
the life and home of every man in
Pennsylvania perhaps more closely
than those of other American states,
he (Ex-Governor Pattison) indulges in
a wall, a diatribe, a denunciation of the
state which ho proposes to govern, and
its people. Standing upon a platform
which declares that this is a disgraced
state, he does not hesitate to accept its
mendacities; and, in appealing to the
forlorn, the unhappy and the discon
tented he hopes to win your favor and
esteem. Without discrimination, and,
discovering nothing which is worthy
of commendation, he withers and con
demns alike all our local and state leg
islative bodies.
" 'Facts,' he says, 'might be cited in
connection with the appropriation bills
almost beyond belief.' He adds that
the very best members afe powerless
unless they 'consent in violence of
their consciences to arrangements and
deals which corrupt men who are noth
ing less than public pirates.'
"This is a charge which, as you see,
affects the whole legislature—not only
the wicked members, but the 'very
best,' all of which enter into these cor
rupt deals In order to secure appropri
ations. It affects further, as I shall
show you, the governor as well. More
than that, it is a reflection upon the
officers and managers of the hundreds
of charities all over the state, who
must be cognizant of and enter into the
deals, for it is impossible fiiat the ap
propriations made to them should be
reduced without their knowledge and
assent.
ARE THESE MEN THIEVES?
"It has been my duty as one of the
trustees of the University of Pennsyl
vania, and further as a member of the
Valley Forge Commission, to appear
before, the committee of the legislature
for a number of years to ask for ap
propriations In behalf of that time
honored institution of learning—the
University, and Its hospital, and in be
half of the commission for its historic
purposes. None of the moneys re
•eived by us was diminished by the
#ecessltieß of such deals. It was coy
fortune to meet there Judge Hanna,
president of the Orphans' Court of
Philadelphia, representing the Homeo
pathic Hospital, and many other per
sons of like standing ennr i in simi
lar errands, and I cannot believe they j
any more than myself participated in
iuch performances. lam bound to be
lieve that the vivid imagination of the
gentleman has run riot and escaped its j
bounds.
"But under the constitution of Penn
sylvania the governor of the state has j
a decided control over the appropria- i
tions. He may at his sweet will re
ject any of them, and then they must
he returned for consideration.
"During the last twenty years the
gentleman has himself been governor
for eight years, or for more than one
third of tho whole period. Where is
the record #f an appropriation he re
jected because it appeared that it was
tho result of a corrupt deal? Would not
this have been the appropriate time to
set tlie seal of condemnation upon in
iquity and prevent its growth for the
future? Or, if it appeared that under
the regime of some prior governor
moneys of the state appropriated to
charities had through corrupt deals
been diverted unto other hands, how
does it occur that the attorney general
was not instructed to bring suit for
their recovery? And. generally, is it
not fair to inquire whether if after his
unusually long service things are in
such a dreadful way it wouid be of any
benefit to the community to elect him
again? Would it not be wiser to en
deavor to cure the manifold Ills of the
state in some other way? If there be
any foundation for this accusation, and
if there bo any truth whatever in the
stories about 'rake-offs,' which the
sensational and worthless newspapers
bespatter in huge headlines across
their ugly faces, I give warning now
that should I be elected governor the
charity which enteres into such a deal
to secure funds will get no appropri
ation if it be possible to prevent it."
GREAT PITTSBURG MEETING.
Continuing their Journey a brief halt
was made In New Castle at the home
of Hon. W. M. Brown, candidate for
lieutenant-governor. The coming of
the distinguished visitors had not been
announced, but despite this fact hun
dreds of citizens of New Castle gather
ed at Senator Brown's home to pay
I their respects.
| On Friday night the candidates and
spell-binders were in Pittsburg, where
the largest meeting that has been
known in a dozen years was held in
Old City Hall. The building was
packed to its capacity, the majority of
those present being workingmen. All
factions of the Republican party were
present as a tribute of respect and en
thusiasm to the party leaders. The
speakers were Judge Pennypacker,
Congressman Littlefleld, of Maine;
Senator Penrose, and ex-Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith.
The present week will witness the
opening of the city campaign in Phila
delphia witu an immense meeting at
the Academy of Music, at which Judge
Pennypacker will be the principal
speaker. The remainder of the week
will be taken up with a brief trip
through the western part of the state.
Beginning with next week the cam
paign tour of Judge Pennypacker and
his company of spell-binders will com
mence in earnest and before it ends
almost every county in the state will
be visited. From the enthusiasm al
ready manifested the campaign prom
ises to be the most remarkable In th«
history of the state.
WE SHOULD STAND FIRM
Pennsylvania's DuryTodayAs Outlined
By Hon. Charles Emory Smith.
The following is the speech, in part,
of Hon. Charles Emory Smith deliv- |
ered at Centre Hall, Centre county:
"Looking to the broader field of na
tional affairs at stake are of such tre
mendous consequence that no Republi
can and indeed no patriotic citizen of
any party ought to feel any doubt
about his duty. Shall Pennsylvania
uphold the national administration or
shall we cripple and paralyze it? Shall
we sustain the policies which have giv
en us such national greatness and glory
or shall we condemn and undertake to
overthrow them? Shall we vote to con
tinue the unparalleled prosperity
which fills the country with content
and happiness and growth, or shall we
vote to overshadow it with doubt and
to create distrust which will bring ca
lamity? Who wants togo back to the
business conditions which prevailed
from 1893 to 1897?
PAINFUL OBJECT LESSONS.
"In deciding wnat path we ought to
follow we don't have to guess. We
know. We know in the light of ex
perience which it would be madness to
disregard The object lessons of the
past ten years blaze the way for every
man who is not blind to the truth. In
1892 we were in the full tide of the
greatest -prosperity the country had
ever enjoyed up to that period I need
not stop to picture the conditions. You
all recall them. You all remember
tne business life and ttie industrial ac
tivity which then prevailed. Yet in a
moment of madness and passion with
out realizing what they were doing,
the people elected a Democratic con
gress and president and instantly the
whole business sky was covered with
clouds. The mere election of a Demo
cratic congress and president created
uncertainty, halted enterprise, im
paired credit, checked the wheels of in
dustry and spread distrust everywhere.
If this was the effect simply of the elec
tion and the fears it created, the results
were aggravated when the fruits were
fully realized.
DEMOCRATIC HARD TIMES.
"When the Democratic party came
Into power it overthrew the Republi
can policies which had glvon national
security, confidence and progress, and
paralyzed business like the blight of
an autumn frost. For four years the [
country suffered a stagnation and de- |
pression which caused wide spread dis
tress. Hundreds of mills were stopped
or ran on half time. Three millions
of workingmen were out of employ- j
ment. You could not altogether stop
production in this great country but
it was so checked as to cause a period
of hard times. If you have forgotten |
those conditions which existed only six
years ago you may make the mistake :
of voting to return to them. But no ;
man who remembers thom in contrast I
with the magnificent prosperity of the '
last six years can vote to run any risk i
of changing back to the situation from
1893 to 1897 without displaying a reck- j
lessness which is incomprehensible."
PROSPERITY AND REPUBLI
CANISM.
"In 1896 the people voted to get out
of the slough of despondency by elect- j
ing Wm. McKinley president. As the |
election of 1892 had been the turning j
point from prosperity to disaster, so !
the election of 1896 was the turning j
point from gloom and depression to a
new era of prosperity and advancement |
beyond anything the world has ever
seen.
"Never before has this country stood
on such heights of prosperity and
greatness and every step in this mag- j
nificent progress has been taken with '
the opposition or the criticism of the
Democratic party. In the light of this
experience shall Pennsylvania falter
in her Republicanism or pronounce a ;
verdict which would weaken the na- !
tional administration In carrying for- ;
ward the great work to which it is de- I
voted?"
SENATOR PENROSE'S SPEECH
What the Great Republican Party Has
Done For the Farmer.
United States Senator Penrose was j
one of the speakers at the opening of |
the campaign at Centre Hall, Centre j
county. Judge Pennypacker and Hon. i
Charles Emory Smith were the others.
Senator Penrose spoke as follows:
"When William McKinley wns first
elected president of the Unite 1 States
the Republican party promised to re
store to the country that prosperity
which had existed under the Harrison
administration, and Tvhlcb bad beep
6o rudely and disastrously interrupted
under President Cleveland, but no one
could have Imagined at the time that
this pledge would have been carried out
upon a scale incredibly larger than the
wildest promise.
"The prosperity of the American peo
ple under the Republican administra
tion of th< last six years, in the ra
pidity and unparalleled greatness of
our industrial, rommercial and agri
cultural development, has surpassed the
imagination of anyone and is un
equaled in the hi..lory <>f the world;
and not > i.ly does tiii« prosperity exist
but it is rapidly increasing. We have
every assurance and reason to hope
that if the political and governmental
policies of the country are not dis
turbed our country will in a few years
have attained an extraordinary growth
in wealth, population and power.
Only one thing can check this splen
did progress, and that is a change in
these governmental policies under
which we can point to these splendid
achievements. No party of our com
munity has benefitted more than have
the agricultural classes. The farmer
has in the last live years received a
greater share of prosperity than any
other representative of any other oc
cupation. The value of the wheat, corn
and oat crops in 1901 was nearly dou
ble that of 1890, the last year of the
Cleveland administration. This is a
startling statement, but it is based up
on official figures, which cannot be dis
puted. The farmer in 1901 received
nearly double the amount of money
for these three crops that he did in
1896, the last year of the Cleveland
administration.
"This increase of farm values under
Republican administration is not acci
dental It is a matter of history that
rural prosperity and Republican rulo
are coincident. It is equally a matter
of history that agricultural depression
and mortgage foreclosures and low
prices for farm products accompany
Democratic administration of national
affairs.
THE FARMER A PIONEER.
"The American farmer has been the
pioneer in establishing our Republic,
which, notwithstanding all its defects,
is the best government the world has
ever known. Wherever, courage, skill,
enterprise and labor have been re
quired the farmer has been foremost
in the fray. While other classes have
been persistently demanding legisla
tion to promote their own interests, the
farmer has been foremost in directing
legislation, not only in the interests of
agriculture, but for the promotion of
the well-being of all our people.
"For example, in the creation of the
Department of Agriculture, which has
become one of the most important di
visions of our national government,
provision has been made not only for
searching every country of the world
for a market for the farmer's products,
but provision has also been made for
increasing the productiveness of
American soil by systematic experi
ment and by applying the principles
of science to agriculture, and so the
wealth, prosperity and happiness of
all our people have been enhanced, for
whatever benefits the agriculture of
any country must prove a benefit to
all her people.
"The farmers and the Grange in
Pennsylvania have been foremost In se
curing legislation for the promotion
and protection of the agricultural in
terests of our state, and, by the ere
*tlon of the State Department of Agri
culture, patterned after the national
department, the farmer is given repre
sentation in the governor's cabinet, a
privilege that is not accorded to any
other class or industry In the common
wealth.
"When the farmers and the Grange
demanded legislation creating this de
partment the Republican party prompt
ly took the matter up, and in less than
six weeks enacted it into a law.
"The organization of any new de
partment of government is always at
tended with more or less difficulty.
Until some settled policy Is reached,
methods which may not always prove
the best must be tried, and oft-times
the best friends of a measure may for
a while suffer disappointment.
IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE.
"There is no interest of greater im*
portance to our country tnan that of
agriculture. It is the fundamental
business of our country; the leading
commercial interest and the most im
portant home industry. And not only
are the people of the United States in
terested in American agriculture, but
the whole world, because America is
the granary of the world. Three
fourth of our entire exports are agri
cultural products. Thirty-seven mil
lions of people of our country are en
gaged in agriculture. Yet, notwith
standing all the importance of agri
culture to the prosperity of our insti
tutions and our government, little pro
tection is afforded to the farmer as
compared with other classes. This is
not so much owing to a disposition on
the part of other classes or our legis
lative councils to discriminate against
the farmer as it is the result of the
growth and development of the re
sources of our country in transporta
tion and transmission companies, min
ing, manufacturing, banking and
merchandising.
"The farmers have been the pioneers
of every country in the world. Before
governments, cities and towns could
exist the lands had to be denuded of
their forests and brought under culti
vation to make the development of

other industries possible and in the
rapid growth of our country, naturally
many inequalities have arisen, which
for a time have placed greater hard
ships upon one class than upon an
other. The farmers being the pioneers
of civilization, have naturally been the
first to suffer from discriminating con
ditions. As, for instance, originally
when the colony of Pennsylvania was
founded which later, under the devel
opment of civilization, grew into a state
with an organized government requir
ing revenues for the administration
of public affairs, the tax burdens nec
essarily fell upon real estate, farms and
homes, as there was nothing else to
tax. But in course of time manufac
tories, commerce and transportation
became necessary and banking insti
tutions to financier them, and when in
' dividuality and enterprise no longer
had the capacity to manage them it
became necessary to create great cor
porations and financial Institutions
with centralized ability to control
them.
TAX REVISION IS NECESSARY.
"Under these conditions it also be
: came necessary to tax these
r-1 prises for the privilege and protection
I accorded them by the state. But so
rapid has been their growth and so
! powerful their influence that tho state
j has scarcely kept pace with them in
! adjusting Its new revenue policy to
meet these new requirements, and as a
! result the real estate, farmers and
home owners, have been and are now
paying a disproportionate share of the
| public burdens
"In meeting these new conditions
| and in correcting these growing in
| equaltios, the Republican party has
' been foremost. In 18G6 it amended the
' tax laws so as to relieve real estate of
taxation for the state government
I proper; and on the other hand imposed
on porsonal and coiporate property
and licenses for business privileges the
entire expenses of the state govern
ment.
"But it soon became apparent that
imposing the entire expense of the
state government upon these subject's
of taxation would not correct these
great inequalties.
"It was in 1891 when the Grange
took up this subject before the public
I and so forcibly pressed it before Ihe
' legislature, under what was known as
the Taggart or Grange Tax bill, that
the Republican party came to the res
cue and passed a compromise bill,
known as the Boyer act, whereby taxes
on corporate property were sufficiently
increased to enable the state to appro
priate $5,000,000 to our public schools
annually and to return to the counties
three-fourth of the personal property
tax, amounting to two millions three
hundred thousand dollars, also to se
cure for the counties and townships
the entire retail liquor licenses,
amounting to three million five hun
dred thousand dollars more, thus mak
ing an annual saving to tho local tax
payers of eleven million three hundred
thousand dollars.
"By this legislation the Republican
party has saved for the real estato,
farm and home owners, in the past
eleven years, one hundred and twenty
four million thre<- hundred thousand
dollars.
"But notwithstanding all this great
progress secured by the Republican
party, as demanded by the Grange and
i real estate owners, in equalizing taxes,
j between the different industries for the
| necessary support of the several di
j visions of government, there aro still
great and unjust discriminations be
| tween the personal, corporate and real
: estate property holders which the Re
| publican party stands pledged to cor
' rect in the future as guaranteed by its
| action in the past."

It Is not so ninny years ago when
surf bathing of a very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught I know, at other
I points. Every Saturday morning or

dled down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line of
breakers. Old fishhouses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,'
and the sea costumes wore those of
last year's village street. A long rope
| was drawn from under tho seats and
bitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man, In
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
tit the ankles, slipped his wrist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
lifeline and, wading out, kept it as taut
as circumstances permitted, while tho

The grade is the most important fac

roads. The smoother the road surface
the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed of earth, stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided if possible. They become
covered at times with coatings of ice
or slippery soil, making them very diffi
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, as
well as dangerous to descend. They
allow water to rush down at such a
rate as to wash great gaps alongside

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Deadly Influence of a Small Magnet
on the luMeet.
An experiment made by a scientist
to test the influence which a magnet
will have on a spider is of interest.
The magnet employed was a small
steel one of the U shape, the legs of
which were about two and a half
inches long by one-ha If inch wide and
one-sixth of an Inch thick, the distance
between the poles being about one
quarter of an inch.
Having noticed a small spider active
ly running along his armchair, he
brushed it off upon the carpet, where
it began to run, but was somewhat Im
peded by the roughness of the fabric,
lie now slid the magnet along the car
pet, following after the spider, till the
ends of the poles were within a quar
ter of an Inch of It. The animal, with
out being touched, almost instantly
stopped, and on withdrawing the mag
net the spider continued on his Jour
ney.
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch in front of
the spider, and, withdrawing it slow
ly, the latter followed It in every direc
tion which the magnet took, both in
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be
came so strongly magnetized as to be
Immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic Influence seeming to lose Its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether tho spider began to
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely,
and at the expiration of several min
utes the spider, after a struggle to es
cape from the strong Influence which
(he magnet exercised over It, was
dead.—Exchange.
