His Attitude On Pension Issue Will

KEYSTONE VETERANS AROUSED
The Young Men Like President
Roosevelt's Candor and His Pa

Banner.
[Special Correspondence.]
Harrlsburg, Sept. L' 7.
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance,
like his speech to the committee of the
Democratic convention, fell very flat
It did not arouse enthusiasm in his own
party, and among Republicans it was
accepted as another evidence of his
unfitness for the presidency. The Dem
ocratic candidate for president presents
no new Issues, and he ha 9 failed to fa
vorably impress the people on anything
be has to say on any subject.
In Pennsylvania, where there are so
many veterans of the civil war and
eo many sons of veterans and widows
of old soldiers, the attitude of the
Democratic candidate on the pension
issue will cost him thousands of votes.
Parker and his party declare that
"the protective tariff is robbery," and
would let down the bars to foreign im
portations at the expense of American
matmlai tured product*.and would thus
deplete the national treasury, as well
89 close tho American manufacturing
plants They thus drive the working
men away from them.
Parker falls to take a positive stand
on many of the great Issues and leaves
the voters in doubt as to what he would
do on questions of grave Import to the
American people.
Roosevelt has attracted the young
men to him by hi 3 candor and patriot-
Ism
Roosevelt, in his letter of accept
ance, spoke for himself and his party,
and there was no uncertainty nor tim
idity nor a shadow of evasion in a
single sentence of his letter. "A party
fit to govern," he said, "must have con
victions," and he left no opportunity
for any one to deny that he has both
convictions and the courage to main
tain them. Whether men agree with
him or not, they cannot fall to grasp
his meaning, and cannot accuse him of
shuffling or equivocation.
Active Republicans from different
counties of the state who were In at
tendance at the meeting of the Repub
lican state committee and the state
convention of the League of Clubs last
week report that there is an unusually
healthy spirit shown In the party or
ganization of Pennsylvania.
It Is noticed that there are more
young men taking a hand in the af
fairs of the party than heretofore,
and that they arc destined to exercise
a more potential influence in the or
ganization than ever before.
The visits of Vice Presidential Can
didate Fairbanks, Senator Foraker and
other speakers of national reputation
to this state have been productive of
much good. Colonel Wesley 11. An
drews, secretary of the Republican
state committee, who has been in ac
tive touch with the organization for
many years, is quoted as saying that .»e
does not recall a time when so many
young men figured so conspicuously
In the party organization.
Senator Foraker seems to have struck
a popular chord with his speech at the
State I/eague convention This was
delivered at so late an hour that it was
not given publicity in the newspapers,
but a few quotations from It will show
that the distinguished senator from the
Buckeye state has lost none of his
originality or his fighting spirit.
Here are a few of his clever hits at
the Democrats:
Judge Parker's famous telegram
■ays the gold standard is irrevoca
bly established. It was irrevocably
established eight years ago, when
McKlnley was elected. As usual,
the Democrats are eight years late
In finding out the truths which the
Republicans always uphold.
Democrats are never happy unless
they are quoting from Thomas Jef
ferson and the constitution. And no
two of them ever seem to agree on
•Ither.
There is a good reason for this
disposition to quote from Jefferson
and Jackson. It is because no Dem
ocrat since them can be safely quot
ed by a Democrat who wishes togo
before the country on his quotation.
Bryan put Jefferson hard at work
on behalf of Aguinaldo, but Judge
Parker brings him farther up to
date by using him to prove some
thing on the Colorado dynamiters
if the Democrats don't let Jefferson
alone, they will destroy all that gen
tleman's distinguished record.
Parker, instead of at once stopping
protection, which his platform says
Is robbery, "would strangle it gradu
ally.
The Democrats say Roosevelt is a
dangerous man. Well, be is. to Hum.
They say ho i 3 a war lord, and
carries a big stick. He has been
president for three years, and ir.
stead of getting us into war, he kept
us out of it.
They say he is quick on the trig
ger He Is, but be hits the bull's
eye every time. He goes ahead and
does things while some Democrat is
looking in the constitution to see If
It is possible.
The Philippines are merely a place
where our navy can hang up its hat
and stay over night in case of a for
eign war We don't want to have to
dismantle our warships in a foreign
port, like Russia has had to do wilh
the Lena at San Francisco.

August Belmont Backs a Syndicate
to Elect Democratic Congressmen.
GOES OVER COL. GUFFEY'S HEAD
Senator Penrose, the Stat* Chairman,
Sends a Note of Warning to the
Republican County Chairmen to Be
Alert.
[Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Sept. 27.
Revelations of the last few days re
garding the details of a scheme of the
Democrats to capture at least five ad
ditional congressional districts in
i Pennsylvania have had the elTect of
spurring the Republicans on to in
creased activity.
It was first discovered through pri
vate sources of Information in New
York that the Democratic national
committee had decided to make a des
perate move in this state to further
| their plans to get control of the next
! House of Representatives in Washing
ton. They had reports from doubtful
districts in other states which showed
that unless they made gains In Repub
lican strongholds like Pennsylvanlathey
could not expect to win tha next house.
It was then decided that Pennsylva
nia must contribute at least eight
Democratic members of the next
House, and in order to make this pos
sible an arrangement was entered into
with a number of Democrats who are
not in sympathy with the GufTey lead
ership of the Democracy in this state
whereby an immense sum of money
was to be placed at their disposal to
use as they might see proper. This
money was to cover eight districts, in
cluding five now represented by Re-
Republicans.
Former Congressman James Kerr,
of Clearfield, was picked out as the
best man to take hold of this project.
As a former chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee Kerr is familiar
with the active Democrats of the vari
ous counties and the national commit
tee relies upon him to perfect an or
ganization in each of these districts,
which will make the election of the
Democratic nominees for Congress
possible. August Belmont is reputed
to be the financial backer of the enter
prise with the treasury of the Demo
cratic national committee to be drawn
upon for additional funds as occasion
may require.
The districts which the Democrats
hope to carry besides those which they
now have are the 10th, Lackawanna:
11th, Luzerne; 12th, Schuylkill; 17th,
Huntingdon, Fulton, Juniata. Mifflin,
Perry, Snyder, Union, and the 20th,
York and Adams. All of these districts
are now represented by Republicans
With hut a majority of 30 in the
present house of representatives, it
will bo seen that the Republican party
cannot afford to lose Republican dis
tricts In Pennsylvania. When It is
known that as high as $50,000 of Dem
ocratic money will be put into some
of these districts to help out the can
didates for congress, it will be seen
that there is grave danger In this situ
ation.
Chairman Penrose, of the Republi
can state committee, as soon as he
learned of the plans of the national
Democratic leaders regarding Pennsyl
vania, immediately sent a note of
warning all along the Republican lines.
In a letter addressed to the chair
men of the Republican county commit
tees this week, he said:
"The opponents of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania, realizing that
It will be time and lah«r lost to cam
paign in behalf of their national tick
et, will. It is stated by th« chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
concentrate their efforts in the con
gressional, senatorial and legislative
districts, in the hope of winning here
and there, perhaps, a representative
In congress or member of tho general
assembly at Harrlsburg.
"It is of the greatest Importance
that their efforts in these directions
should be met promptly and energeti
cally.
"The loss of a single congressman
from Pennsylvania may place the
bouse of representatives at Washing
ton In Jeopardy, and thereby greatly
embarrass the business Interests of
the country, in which Pennsylvania has
so great a share.
"The Republican nominees for the
state senate and house of representa
tives should also be loyally and ener
getically supported, partlculary in
view of the fact that the legislature
which assembles at Harrlsburg In Jan
uary, IDOS. will bo called upon to elect
a United States senator for the term
of six years from the 4th of March,
next.
"Tho speaker of the house of repre
sentatives at Washington or Harris
burg might be lost or won by a single
vote, therefore, I cannot too emphat
ically Impress upon you the Import
ance of making the organization In
your county so thorough that ©very
Republican vote can be gotten to the
polls In November.
"The only thing we have to combat
this year Is the Idea In every Republi
can mind that the state will give an
enormous majority for Roosevelt, and,
therefore, his Individual vote will not
be neoded; and It Is this Idea that lllu
mlnates the Democratic mind with the
thought that Republicans can be
caught napping. In which event they
hope to elect additional representa
tives in congress or In the general as
sembly, or perhaps reduce the Repub
llcan majority In certain localities
"I suggest that you send for each
of >our committeemen and warn them
regarding the Intentions of our oppo
nents, and urge vigilance and activity
all .along the line."

TEMPLE BAILEY
-
It was an awful storm. The snow
curled up over tile tops of the feuces,
and there were no roads to be seen,
nothing but white fields broken here
and there by black clumps of trees.
1 >ick llarwood bent bis head to the
wind and spoke softly to his horses.
Tliey were floundering sturdily through
the snow, eager for the end of the
journey and for the comfort of the
warm barn and well filled mangers.
"Wlio-O'.i-oo 00-pee!"
Dick lilted Ills head and looked out
over the storm swept night. That was
Myra's cry, the one he had taught her
when he was in >-liort trousers and she
wore long braids
"Who oo oo oo pee!" again came the
cry, but Myra was miles away in the
big city. It came from tlie little school-

house at the crossroads, which was
half covered with drifting snow. Dick
urged his horses nearer and discerned
in the doorway a dark figure, then he
caught the sound of a voice.
"Please, whoever you are, won't you
stop?"
"Myra!" he cried and flung the reins
down and ran to her.
"Why, Dick llarwood!" She held out
both of her hands, and then while he
held them In his warm clasp she broke
down and explained, with little sob
bing gasps:
"I started from the station before the
storm I thought I could get home, you
kuow, and then It started and at last
I took shelter In here, hoping that some
one would pass and give me a ride, and
you are the first person who has come
—and I am nearly frozen nearly fro
zen, Dick."
"Wasn't there any wood in the
stove?" asked I'lck practically.
"Yes, but I hadn't any matches, and
here I have been for hours with wood
and stove and no fire."
Dick flung the door open and went
Into tho schoolroom. The rows of bat
tered little desks confronted him spec
trully hh ho lighted n muttli anil touch
ed it to the ready laid fuel. The flames
leaped up and at one* began to give
out comfort.
"Now, you get warm while I go and
look after the horses," said Dick.
"There is a shed back of the house,
ami I can cover th«' team with the old
robes and give them a f<*ed of corn.
I'll be back in a minute."
When lie returned he found that she
had drawn an old settee before the
fire. She sat in one corner of It, with
lyr face pink in the reflected glow.

lie brought In s» veral packages and
j laid them beside her.
i "Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Starved! Oh, you blessed boy! You
1 were taking home groceries." And she
held up a box of biscuits.
He thrilled at the sound of her old
name for him. How often she had
called him her "blessed boy" In the
days before she had become ambitious
for a career!
"It's so nice to see you, Myra," he
said as he ruinmaKed In the little eup
! board over the teacher's desk.
"Nice! That isn't the word for the
way I feel," said Myra from the settle,
j "I was Just dying to see you—all." She
added the last word <julckly as I)lck
i whirled around and looked at her, with
his soul In his eyes, 112" e did not meet
his look, however, and l * turned away,
with a little sigh. "Do you like It hi
j town?" he asked.
"I'm-mm!" she murmured.
"Does that mean 'yes' or 'no?'" He
had brought out a little kettle and a
j teapot and was filling the kettle with
| water from a covered pall that stood
behind the stove.
"Both," she laughed. "I like it and 1
don't Hke It."
"Whitl don't you like?" he asked.
"Oh, It's all so cold. Every one
thinks of himself. Why, Dick, I might
live and die with twenty people In the
■ same house and not one of them would
i know It until the undertaker came.
That Is the trouble—no one cares, no
one cares," she declared passionately.
'Jo leaned forward eagerly, then
checked himself. "Hut you have your
music."
"Oh, music!" she said disparagingly,
and at her tones his heart leaped.
The water had boiled In the little
kettle.
"I will let you make the tea," he
said and opened the package of the
fragrant herb. While she heated the
teapot and put the tea to steep h»
drew a little table In front of the set
j tie and put on It crackers and cheese
and sardines. Then, with a laugh and
a llourlsh, he set In the center a great,
creamy, custard pie.
"Aunt I'rlscllla sent it to mother,"
he said, "but I guess we need It the
most."
Myra danced around the table and
clapped her hands like the little girl
Dick remembered so well. Finally
she stopped In front of him. "Dick,"
she said, "did yuu ever eat a boarding
house pie?"
He shook his head.
"Well," she said, "you are In no con
dition to appreciate Aunt Prlscllla's
pie. lam the only one who will do Its
i dellclousness Justice."
It was not a bad supper, that Im
promptu one served by candlelight In
the old schoolhouse, and Dick felt him
self In a blissful dream as he looked
across the table at the fair face.
After the meal Myra fell luto a re
trospective mood.
"Do you remember the winter after
noons right here in this old room when
we children used to pop corn and roast
apples and Miss Betsey Mould read to
us* dear Miss Betsey?"
"I remember you with the firelight
on your face and with your cheeks red
as they are now," said Dick ardently.
"And how we used to slide down the
long hill outside and how I lost my
mittens once In the snow and you
found them for me?"
"I remember the kins that you gave
me for a reward," said Dick.
Myra flushed. "Listen how the wind
blows," she said Irrelevantly.
Dick got up and went to the door.
"It's an awful night," he said as he
came back with his coat collar pow
dered white, but when the horses are
rested and you are thoroughly warm I
think I can get you home. It isn't far."
He knelt In front of the stove and
poked In more wood. Myra sat with
her chin In her hand as she leaned her
elb*w on her knee and gazed dreamily
Into the lire.
"It's good to be at home," she said.
Something in her tone gave him cour
age.
"1 wish home might always be where
our two hearts were, Myra," he said,
with unconscious poetry.
"I think that is the only home in
which I shall ever be happy, Dick,"
slio said simply.
"Do you mean it, Myra? My ways
are such plain ways, dear!"
She sighed happily as he drew her to
him.
"Oh, you blessed boy!" she said. "It
was just because I loved the plain
ways that I came back and because 1
missed my friends and the dear old
hills and you, I »iek."

cording to the story that has come
down from the sixteenth century, the
Pattersons all spelled the name with
•ne "t" before Queen EM ' etli set
about marking those of her subjects
who left the ancient Catholic faith and
cast their lot with the Church of Eng
land. She insisted that all the Prot

have followed that mode of spelling
the name.—London Standard.
Tylfifc u Home to a Hole.
It has been discovered that the des
ert Indians, who have never been ac
credited with superabundant wits, have
for many years employed a method of
tying their horses to boles In the
ground that is clever, unique aud ef
fective. The operation of tying a horse
to a hole seems an impracticable and
impossible one, for there is something
decidedly intangible and unsubstantial
about the hole. The operation is per
formed in this way: Kneeling on th
hot sands, the Indians dig with their
hands until they have made a hole
about two feet deep. They then tie au
Immense knot in the end of the halter
rope, lower It into the bottom of the
hole, fill the hole with sand and then
Jump and stamp upon it until the earth
over the knot is about as hard as sand

Oat* nnd Cattle.
In certain parts of southern Califor
nia it is absolutely necessary to have
cats to successfully raise cattle. The
cows feed on a red clover which
makes a superior quality of beef. This
clover grew very sparsely until it was
discovered that one farmer who had
raised a large number of tabby cats
always had fine clover fields. Investi
gation proved that the cats killed the
field mice who killed the wild bees
who fertilized the clover seeds by car
rying the pollen from flower to flower,
thus causing the seeds to sprout thick
ly every year. Now all the farmers
have many cats.
