TO STUART AND
HIS COLLEAGUES
Republicans Will Sweep the State
at the Coining Election.
"IT'S UP TO YOU,"SAYS UNCLE JOE
6peaker Cannon Tells Pennsylvanians
They Have a Great Duty to Per
form.
[Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. October 23.
With but two weeks more of cam
paigning before them, the Republican
state candidates h£iv< every reason to
look forward with confidence to a great
victory at the polls on November G.
They have covered nearly every coun
ty in the state, and have met with the
most enthusiastic grei tings everywhere
they have been. In many cases the
crowds exceeded those that would or
dinarily be got together in a presiden
tial campaign.
Edwin S. Stuart, the nominee for
Governor, by his frank and manly ut
terances, has won the hearts of his fel
low citizens. They know of his splen
did record as Mayor of Philadelphia, of
the many testimonials that come to him
from all sources after his retirement
from that office, and they believe he
will keei> 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

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

npr •:if;rLiiions, and the last legisla
tor i!.; ii ,;h t« d the policy of placing
11 1 ( . hi. I iieluve/s of the state under
I'M arc the commonwealth, to be
improved by direct appropriations
fioin the treasury.
Protecting the Farmer.
Not only is this policy of relieving
our farms p.n i Louies from taxation
for -chools ; ml roads in accord with
t'.o f'.ei laivd polit \ of the party, but
it i.-; 112 urn ed on the soundest princi
ple. of just taxation. Our farms and

party i f.n.t i.uo power in 1860, it gave

A Woman's Back
Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other displace- !
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there Is no remedy
manent than Dr. Pierce's Favorite
P has a record of over forty
years of curfcsSk It Is the most potent
invigorating tonic and
vlqe known to medical science. It is made
ofthe glyceric extracts of native medici
nal roots found in our forests and con
tains not a drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into "Fa
vorite Prescription" has the written .en
dorsement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac
tice —more valuable than any amount of
non-professional testimonials—though the
latter are not lacking, having been con
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
In numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute
for this well proven remedy or KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make a little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health it paramount
to any selfish Interest of his and it is an
Insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you a substitute. You
know what you want and It is his busi
ness to supply the article called for.

A TURLISH LEGEND.
Why flie 1 iich Married Mun Got to
tl.;? Momjcv' rirut.
S r.no years ago, when General Tew
lik lluss. !u wus the Turkish minister
tit Washington, he objected to the cu
rious questions the newspaper Inter
viewers asked him about the harem.
One interx lower, however, told the
representative of the sublime porte a
funny story about Rrigham Young and
his many wives, and it Induced the
minister t > reciprocate.
"There i-s a 'J'urkis': legend," he said,
io tlie effect that ii a man prays sev
rn consecutive mornings alone in the
mosque for good luck it will come.
Near St. Sophia mosque, Constantino
ple, a poor man lived who tried to car
ry out the injunction; but, when he
kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw
another man who had arrived first.
The fourth morning he could restrain
himself no longer and cried out: 'What
is the see ret of your getting to the
mosque first? 1 get up early and lose
•io time.' The other man asked, 'How
many wives have you?' When be an
swored 'One.' the fortunate man said.
'You can never set to the mosque ear
Her than L, for 1 have four wives
When 1 wake up one brings me my
clothes, another gets my shoes, a third
prepares my bath, and the fourth
cooks breakfast. The result is 1 lose
no time. Now, my friend, go at once
and marry three other wives, and you
will know the secret of my arriving
first at the mosque.'
"The poor Turk followed the advice,
and very so m he knew why the man
with four wives pot to the mosque
(irst-he stayed there in preference to
staving at^iome."^ Leslie's Weekly

THREATS EPIDEMIC
ATJMISSA
Threatening letters, it appears, are
becoming an epidemic up arouud Cata
wissa, and another one was received
by a young girl of that place yester
day morning, 111 iking the third that
has been sent to <llft'erent parties with
in the last few days. The first was
that sent through the mails to liar
man Young demanding that money be
deposited at a certain spot in default
of which vengeance would follow.and
though it was disregarded nothing
followed. Another threat was posted
on the blacK board of the Hartman
school near Catawissa threatening the
teacher if money was not deposited in
the pump house across from the school.
Now comes another letter through
the Catawissa post office yesterday
morning, bearing every indication of
having been sent by the same party
who sent the Harman Young letter.
It was sent to Miss Eva Hendershott,
daughter of Chas. Hendershott of
Fourth street, Catawissa.
Miss Hendershott was at the post
office just before closing time Tuesday
evening and there was no mail for her
at that time, and as the letter was in
the box when the office was opened
yesterday morning before six o'clock,
it must have been mailed some time
during the night.
It demanded that the sum of be
placed at the old Quaker meetiug
house on South street by Saturday
evening, November 3rd, and if this
was not tlone that death would surely
follow. The letter went onto state at
length that the senders had written
other threats before to people in the
town, and though all those were tak
en as the work of a joker the sender
meant to prove in this case that he
was in deadly earnest, and would cer
tainly make an example,aud take Miss
Hendflraholt's life unless the money
was left as directed. This letter, like
the others,has been given to the auth
orities for inve.-tigatiou.
