The Towauda Daily News is glad that Thanksgiving Day comes after the election In its opinion "political c.uniuigus j,re, of course, of import - anee, but it H' t-ms as if the straining of life long bonds of friendship is scarcely worth the result that is gain ed Ir is right enough to differ, hut l < rsonal feelings would seem to have - every pledge he has made in the present canvass. Roosevelt Is Interested. There has been no more gratifying feature of the campaign than the en thusiastic interest taken in the out come of the Pennsylvania by President Roosevelt and members of his cabinet. While it would be contrary to prece dent to have either the President or a member of his cabinet refer specifically In commendation of a candidate for a state office in the heat of a campaign, yet the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury has already spoken twice in Pennsylvania, and that Attorney Gen eral Moody has accepted an invitation to speak in Philadelphia on October 29, clearly indicates the attitude of the national administration toward the Re publican cause in the Keystone state. While these cabinet officers confine their remarks to national issues, they emphasize the importance of Repub licans standing loyally by their party, so that unbroken lines shall be present ed to the common enemy, the Demo cratic party, which in Pennsylvania has as an ally the so-i-alled Lincoln outfit. Knox Praises Stuart. Senator Philander C. Knox, who has been in frequent conference with the President recently, and who knows ho-v deeply he is concerned over the pres ent politic; 1 situation, will preside at the great meeting in Philadelphia at which Attorney General Moody will be the star orator. "I believe that Edwin S. Stuart and the entire Republican ticket in Penn sylvania will be elected," predicted Senator Knox a few days ago. "1 know Mr. Stuart to b<* a man of honor, i man in whom the Republicans of Penn sylvania can place full faith in his pledges to protect the interests of the commonwealth upon his election to the Governorship." Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair man of the Republican slate committee. Is receiving valuable assistance from Chairman Sherman, of the national Republican congressional committee. Some of the strongest speakers on the staff of the national committee have been assigned to Pennsylvania. What Uncle Joe Cannon Said. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker of the National House of Representatives, fig ured In an immense Republican demon stration In the Quaker City last week, addressing three mass meetings on th» same evening. "Uncle Joe" made this declaration from the platform: "On November 6 I hope to hear thai Pennsylvania has given 100,- 000 majority for Stuart and the whole Republican ticket. "1 am glad to indorse one of your own citizens who is the candidate for Governor. Edwin S. Stuart, I am proud to say, is both a personal and political friend of mine. "There is not money enough in the whole commonwealth of Penn sylvania—nay.in the whole world— to swerve the Integrity of the can didates on the Republican ticket. "THEY ARE WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE. "The Lincoln Party Is being used by Democrats to aid them In usurp ing the balance of power In the Re publican party. They falsely claim to be followers of Roosevelt. The Democratic platform adopted two months ago is not in accord with the principles of the PresMmf. "Then re. how . :n tlie Lin- oln Party stnr: i for the idea of Roose velt? "If you want to hurt our institu tions and our ind i tries, turn down the Republican Party and the Re publican ticket. "Under these circumstances you will hurt production where you are now running with energy and hope and enterprise, and you will stop for the next two years, or you will men ly mark time or you will advance b :t slowly. "It Is up to you." The following itinerary has been ar ranped by Colonel Daniel B. Shepp, chief of the bureau of speakers of the Republican state committee for Can didate Stuart and his colleagues for the balance of the campaign: Tuesday. October South Bethle hem. Bethlehem and Allentown; Wed nesday, October 21, Lehigbton and Wilkes-Barre; Thursday, October 26, Montrose and Tunkhannock; Friday, October 2'i, Towanda and Athens; Sat urday, October 27.

"Do you remember the bustle of lss.V; It snot straight out from the st, a broad seat on which, honestly, .-HI adult could have sat.

Ve , in the time of Francis II porChi was consid ered stately, rtir.l men tied on tour uures, or fa! e loi is, in order to achieve an ::ir of «i . sfiuiir aiis in SIMII, TAX ISSUE Would Further Re>ieve Local Taxa tion Burdens From State Revenues. IS A POPULAR PROPOSITION Pennsylvania Has Been Mo«t Liberal In General Appropriations For Edu cational Purposes. The ringing declarations of Edwin S. Stuart, Republican nominee for Gov ernor. in favor of the anactment of legislation to abolish local taxation for public school purposes and in favor of giving greater state aid for the build ins of good roads and for charitable purposes, have met with popular favor. His statement made in Jefferson county that he is opposed to the car rying of a large surplus in the state treasury has also resulted in expres sions of approval In many quarters. Candidate Stuart's views regarding the school tax are especially pleasing to the members of the Pennsylvania State Association for the Abolition of the School Tax. Theodore P. Rynder. secretary of this organization, says: "We have an organization extend ing over the state having for its pur pose the abolition of the school tax on real estate thereby relieving espe cially small farmers and city home owners of their heaviest tax burden and establishing the principle that public revenues must pay for the pub lic education. '"The organization is known as the Pennsylvania State Association for the Abolition of the School Tax. •it has a large number of clubs in various sections of the state. It has the support of some hold-over sena tors. It has many candidates for as sembly pledged to the measure. "Candidate Stuart has Indorsed it In at least two public speeches. "The measure we propose would en able Pennsylvania togo on with its great system of education and give to every child within the commonwealth its just dues —an education that would fit it for the battle of life. It would solve the problem of adequate wages for teachers and adequate schools for pupils. An Abundance of State Revenue. "The only question ever raised has been whether the state has the flnan cial means to do it. As briefly as may be. let me answer that question. "The total cost for the whole state of teachers' wages, text books and supplies for last year was $15,537,020. "To meet that bill the state now ha" a surplus of ove.r J11.25U.000, which by the beginning of the next fiscal year will reach at least $16,750,- 000. Then there can be added to this the $1,500,000 of annual current in come, which during the last two years has been applied to equipping our new capitol, as well as some addi tional amounts that went into con struction. and also the amount here tofore appropriated for the sinking fund. This $11,250,000 surplus, plus $5,500,000 regular school appropria tion, plus $4,50(1.000 new capitol ex penditures, will give us $21,250,000 with which to pay the $15,537,020 of teachers'' wages, text books and sup plies, and leave $6,000,000 and all In terest and additional revenues to be added to apply to the ordinary ex penses. "There are abundant sources of new revenue justly used in other states that ean be availed of by the next legislature should any new reve nue be needed. "Mr. Stuart's pronounced stand on tlds issue will, in the event of his election, enable the state to take this groat advance step in public education and make Pennsylvania the leader in intelligence, as she is in material prosperity." What Counties Got Last Year. While Mr. Stuart is advocating further relief of local taxation from the general revenues of the state, he does not overlook the fact that enor mous sums are now being paid an nually from the state treasury to the several counties for public school pur poses. The records of the state treasury show that $7,832,350, mainly collected by the state in taxes from corporations, was paid to the several counties during the year 1905. Pennsylvania Leads the Way. Pennsylvania has, without question, the best public school system In the world. No state in the Union appropriates anything like the sum of money which is annually set aside by this common wealth for the maintenance and de velopment of the free schools. No s'atc makes anything lik« the liberal provisions made by Pennsylvania for the education and training of teachers and the conduct of state normal schools and township high schools. The cause of popular education has ever been fostered by the Republican party, and that party has been Instru mental in the passage through the legislature of laws which have served to strengthen and to upbuild the mag nificent free school system which !>as been the subje t of universal com mendation.

This includes appropriations made tu the support of the soldiers' orphans' schools, the county superintendents, the Department of Public Instruction, and for normal schools and township lii"h schools. Keynote of Taxation Reform. Mr. Stuart certainly sounded the keynote for taxation reform when he | declared that the time had come when the . late could accept the policy of spt '."illy relieving farms and homes of the state from all taxation for the support of schools, and ultimately lead to the relief of farms and homes from taxation for the support of our chief highways. This declaration of the Republican candidate for Governor is not a mere campaign invention. it is in complete accord with tho policy of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, that now assumes a large portion of the burden of sus trieing the schools, for which we ex p< i>'! n>pn> millions annually Instate npr •:if;rLiiions, and the last legisla tor i!.; ii ,;h t« d the policy of placing 11 1 ( . hi.
