THE TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT. As Exemplified by William Howard Taft and Bishop Brent. Another American has shown the same noble spirit that moved William 11. Taft to request President Roose velt to withhold his appointment as justice of the United States supreme court that would have brought him back from his arduous work in the Philippines to the lighter labors and the more congenial scenes of his na tive land. Missionary Bin hop Brent of the Epls ropal church in the Philippines, offered the bishopric of Washington, with its soclni advantages and agreeable sur roundings and its opportunities for in tercourse with many of the ablest men of this and other countries, preferred his life of self sacrifice in the faruff oriental islands and declined to leave his work among the Filipinos for a mansion in the capital of the United States. In the motives that actuated Mr. Taft and that led Bishop Brent to re fuse to desert the Filipinos there is no essential difference. "It has always been my dream to be in the supreme court," said Mr. Taft in reply to President Roosevelt when Mr. Taft had come to Washing ton to state the case of the Philippines to a committee of congress, "hut if you should offer me n justiceship now, and if at the same time congress should deprive me of my entire salary as governor, I should go straight back ' to the Philippines nevertheless, for those people expect tne back and be lieve I will not desert them." "I believe I have t lie missionary spirit," he had told the senate commit- ' tee. Such is the true missionary spirit. II is the spirit that has carried Christian ( doctrine and Christian civilization to j the uttermost parts of the earth, that ! has taught the brown man and the j black man to feel that there are those j of the whites who do not regard them merely as prey for the greed and am bition of the stronger race. The al truism of such men as Taft and Rrent Is a revelation to the people of our ori ental possessions which must go far toward convincing them that Ameri cans really have their welfare at heart and are leading thein along the path of education and self reliance toward the goal of a stable and well ordered gov ernment.

Candidate for Second Congressional Term. FROM SHAMOKIN DISPATCH ocr. 20, 1908. j McHENRY AS A SPEAKHR. The voters of this Congressional District have long been saying that what was needed at Washington was a repre entative who could stand up in congress and talk, —one who would be able, in the proper way, to present the needs of this district and who would, furthermore, be able to take part in debates of the House. The voters li tve read with much interest news paper accounts of the speeches m«. Ie by Hon. John G. McHenry both in congress and at important "gatherings of bankers, grangers, etc.,and al! have declared that in every published ad dress Mr. McHenrv had touched on his subjects in a most interesting and straightforward manner, not minciug words nor speaking in uncertain tones but rattier declaring most plainly where he stood and still stands on the live issues of the day. While not al ways agreeing with the principles ad vocated by Mr. McHenr.v the majority of the voters have recognized the fact that he is an able man, one lit to rep resent this district in congress in the manner that so important a district deserves. But with all this knowledge of the man through the columns of the press the voters have been anxious to hear him themselves and to karu of his ability. His enemies have declared that lie could not talk in public and that he had never made a speech, de spite the fact that the records show most plainly that he did speak botli in committee meetings and on the floor of the House, in many instances his remarks being commented upou editor ially by the press of both parties throughout the entire country. The opportunity to hear Congress man McHenry was presented to the people of Shamokin and vicinity on Saturday afternoon and was accepted by many of both parties. That he made a most favorable impression is I FAMILY YACHT CLUB. The Robinsons of Suffolk County, N. Y, Join In Unique Organization. ; Out in eastern Suffolk county, N.

FIRST SEAWEED FEAST. "Dehydro" Banquet Had Dishes of Ocean Vegetation Only. That the process of dehydration may solve the food problem of the world when the population shall have exceed ed the food productivity of the earth by turning the seaweed of the great Sargasso sea Into a valuable food prod uct was the theory advanced by Judge M. S. Griswold at a "dehydro" ban quet given the other day at Waukesha Wis. It was the first of the kind ever served in the world and was prepared by Miss C. A. Lyford, a domestic sci ence expert of the State Normal unl versit.v of Bloomington. 111. At (his banquet the piece de re sistance was seaweed done into fries toasts, pnrees and many other con trived dishes by the skillful cook.

Despite t he handicap of a very heavy cold aud a throat made tired by con stant, camp ngmug for t< e past six weeks Mr. Mcilenry delivered an ail dress of considerable length. He prov ed,first of all,that lie is an able speak er, many who heard him declared him to be one of the ablest speakers that has ever visited Shamokiu. Not an orator in the sense that lie takes flights in beautiful oratorical expres sions which please the ear but mean noti iug, but rather one who iu a clear, forceful manner presents his opinions and principles to his bearers in a niauucr that shows he knows whereof he is speaking. He is a speak er of the advanced type, talking as man toman. In tiie second place Mr. MoHenry demonstrated that he is thoroughly conversant with the issnes of the day, that he is a student of the needs not only of this district but of the nation. He showed that he can stand up in Congress and debate with the best of the speakers of that body. He demon strated to the satisfaction of all who heard him that at last the Sixteenth Congressional District has a represent ative who can represent them in deed as well as word.who can fulfill all the dnties of his offioe. The Hoa. John G. Mr.Heury showed beyond the possibil ity of a doubt that he is fit iu every possible way, as a speaker aud think er.as a frieud of the people of the dis trict, as one who holds the interests of his constituents above mere party lovaltv, that he is capable to fill the office of Representative iu Congress from the Sixteenth Congressional Dis trict and he is going to receive the support of voters regardless of politic al affiliations. The district is proud of John G. MoHenry and wants him to continue the good work he has already started. 3 THE KEYSTONE. WHAT TAFT HAS SAID Things That Show Intellect and Sound Judgment. TERSE ECONOMIC TRUTHS. Fallacies of Bryanism Exposed In a Few Sentences—His Position In P.e- ! gard to the Trusts—Exact Justice the ; Highest Ideal of Government. By WALTER J. BALLARD. Here are some of the striking tilings Taft has said: "The Democratic party today as or- { ganized is nothing but organized in- j capacity."—At Montpelier, Yt. "Itryan would have the Initiative and j referendum because lie distrusts repre j seutative government and has no con- j fldence In the ability of the people to j select conscientious represQn'itives. j He would take away from -ourts, be- | cause he distrusts the ability of judges i to resist the malign Influences of the 1 money power, the power to enfori e their own orders."—At Columbus, O. "Anything which innkes capital idle or which reduces or destroys It must reduce both wages and the opportunity ; to earn wages."—At Cooper Union, ! New York City. "The course of the administration has only been directed against such organized capital as was violating the statutes of the United States—and no other. The business men of our com munity as a whole arc honest and their methods are sound."—At Boston, Mass. "The so called colonial policy of the United States has added to our trade already something over a hundred mil- i lion dollars a year."—At Cleveland, O. j "The administration of exact justice i by courts without fear or favor, uu- j moved by the influence of the wealthy : or the threats of the demagogue. Is the < highest Ideal that a government of the ; people can strive for, and any means by which a suitor, however unpopular or poor, is deprived of enjoying this are to be condemned."—At Colum bus, O. "1 lielieve that a navy is the greatest Insurer of peace that we could possi bly have- a navy commensurate with | cur resources, and commensurate with :>ur coast line, and commensurate with ! the number of dependencies we have, I and commensurate with our popula- ' tion, and commensurate with our iuflti- I eneo as a world power."—At Cleve land, O. "If we assume control over a people for the benefit of that people (as in the Philippines) and with the purpose of developing them to a self governing capacity aud with the intention of giv ing them the right to become inde pendent when they shall show them selves lit, the charge that we are im perialists is utterly without founda tion."—At Cleveland. (>. "The present business system of the j country rests on the protective tariff, ! and any attempt to change it to a fret? j trade basis will certainly lead to dis asters'—At Columbus, o. "The Democratic party has no policy i which the country can depend upon, j its whole stock in trade is lhat of ir- 112 responsible criticism aud obstruction, rind when charged with the res(>onsi bility of doing anything It utterly falls."—At Greensboro, N. C. "Mr. Bryan asks me what I would do with the trusts. I answer that I I would restrain all unlawful trusts | with all the efficiency of Injunctive ! process and would punish with all the severity of criminal prosecution every attempt on the part of aggregated cap- | Ital to suppress competlton."—At Co lumbus, O. "As a party shows itself homogeue- 1 ims, able to grasp the truth with re spect to new Issues, able to discard unimportant differencles of opinion, sensitive with respect to the success ful maintenance of government and highly charged with the responsibility of its obligation to the people at large it establishes its claim to the confi- i dence of the public and to its contin- ' uance in political power."—At Kansas j City, Mo.

SOLDIERS | BUTTLE How Men Feel and Act With Death All About Them. THE STORY OF A PRIVATE. With the Beginning of the Fight Comes Fear, but Ttiat Soon Passes Away In the Eagerness For Killing. Varying Effects of Wounds. A narrative of the battle of Solferi -110 as told by a veteran survivor to Robert Shackleton appears in Har per's. It is, word for word, a chapter of history as seen by a man in the ranks. Incidents which imprefsed him are curious: "We baited, and a Tyroles' lying on the ground cried out: 'I am dying. Give ine to drink.' Whereat my com panion stooped to offer him a flask, and as lie stooped the Tyrolese struck savagely at him with his bayonet, but my companion jumped back, and it missed him, and he said, 'You Tyro lese, you said you wanted a drink be fore you died, and now you shall die without the drink.' And he stuck his bayonet through hlia as a boy would stick a pin through a fly. "The fighting soon began again, and it was very tierce. It was soon that we came to know that we were to cap ture a little village and the hills about the village. The village was named San Maritiuo, and there were walled barns and gardens, and the Austrians were very strong there. "The bursting of the shells was very bad. Sometimes all of us close by would be thrown down and be cov ered with mud and earth, but most of us would jump up again, not wounded, but always there were some who would not jump up again, because they were wounded or dead. "At the beginning of a battle a sol dier feels afraid. At the beginning of this battle I felt afraid, and I know that other tuen felt afraid, though it was not our tirst battle, and we knew what it was to be under tire. "So it was that at the beginning we commended ourselves; we felt like death, but soon that passed away, and we thought 110 more of death, but only of the killing of the Austrlans. "All around me men were killed. There were heads and arms blown off, and men flew into pieces like the smashing of a jug. Itut we did not care. We thought nothing of it. I do not know that we even knew we saw such things, but some of them come to me as I sit with you and talk of that long day. We did not notice, and we did not think that at any mo ment we too might have our heads blown off or lie smashed into little pieces like the breaking of a jug. "Once, when we rushed over the big guns and killed the men who still fought with lis, we turned the guns to lire on the Austrians as they (lew away, but they had driven bits of steel into the touchholes, and so we could not fire them. They were of a cour age, those Austrians. "Only once in all that battle did 1 think much of what 1 saw or heard, and that was when there was the terrible screaming of a captain who had Ills foot shot off. lie twisted and turned as he cried out, and it was a very bad sound. But it is just as it chances. I saw many men who were hurst worse than that captain and many who were blown into little bits, but I did not trouble about them. It is just if jt chances so. "It is very often that a man does not know that he is hurt. I remember that once there was a man near me with a great hole in his forehead, but he ran right on v Ith us with his bay onet. and I thought, 'lie will fall dead.' But after that I saw him no more, for there was always the fighting. "The storm and the blackness, they made of us a great mixing. Yes; it was a very great tangling, for all lines were lost, and I know that sometimes Austrians struck at Austrians and sometimes Italians struck at Italians, for we were in a very great mixing aud very tierce in the blackness of that storm. "We were told to lie down and sleep. So we lay down where we were, among the dead atul the wounded, among the Italians and the Austrians. "And we slept. Yes; we were tired, for we had fought hard for all that long, long day, and on that hill that at last we had gained we slept, and we gave no heed to the dead men or the wounded. "The wounded they made very great cries, and there were men sent togo among them with lights. Some were surgeons, and some were men to carry them to the field hospitals. But the most of us we lay there and slept, and we were very tired, and we knew that with the morning there might be an other Bght." An Englishman, fond of boasting of j his ancestry, took a coin from his pock- j et and, pointing to the head engraved on it, said, "My great-great-grandfa- ' ther was made a lord by the king whose picture you see on this shilling." "What a coincidence," said his Yan kee companion, who nt once produced another coin. "My great-great-grand father was made an angel by the In dian whose picture you see on this •■■nt." Wheels Will Go Round if Taft Is Elected. SO SAV MANUFACTURERS. Tile National Association of Manu facturers, through its organ, American Industries, has just completed a can vass of its 3,000 members throughout the United States In nearly every line of trade to ascertain the country's com mercial status twelve months after the panic. The canvass was not made to serve any political purpose, and the forthcoming election was not mention ed, but the members of the association have tnken advantage of one of the questions to declare that prosperity depends upon the election of Taft. The canvass was made by means of letters sent out two weeks ago. Four questions were asked of the members relating to the exact condition of trade at present, the percentage of increase in business in the last ten months, the possibilities for future Improvement aud any suggestions which might serve to better future conditions. Everybody answered the last question by suggest ing that Taft be elected. Agricultural implements show the largest percentage of increase and ve hicles the lowest. The textiles show a small percentage of Increase with a rather unfavorable outlook, while leather and its manufactures and the lumber industry are fairly satisfied and optimistic. Very little attention is paid to the tariff as a disturbing ele ment, but a number of manufacturers, especially those interested in railway supplies and allied trades, complain against pending or threatened railway legislation. The steel trade and the movement of pig iron, which form the most accurate barometer of trade conditions, make 1 i>er cent of the Iron and steel plants i in the association report conditions ! Rood, 78 [wr cent have had an Increase during the last ten months, and 85 i per cent have reason to believe that j prospects for the immediate future are ! reassuring. Machinery. Including all classes throughout the country, shows present conditions 0.8 per cent good, and 70 per cent of the machinery man ufacturers have had an increase since Jan. 1 last. Only one manufacturer of agricultural implements Is pessimistic regarding the future. In food products SO per cent report business good. 94 per cent have had an increase, and all are optimistic for the future. Lumbermen report 85 per cent good, and So per cent have had an Increase, while 93 per cent of them are hopeful for the future. Of the leather manufacturers !»l per cent re port good, 94 per cent have had an In crease, and '. i.'i per cent are optimistic. Other percentages from the various trades reporting conditions good, an in i rease of business and good possibil ities for the future are as follows: Tools and hardware, 77, 87 and 92; drugs and chemicals, S3, 80 and 82; paper and printing, 75, 70 and 1)4; tex tiles, (18, 71 and 89; vehicles, 52, 56 and 85. James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufac turers, says of the outlook: "Nearly every issue of the trades pa pers all over the country-reports the reopening of steel, cotton and woolen mills and the Increase in the working forces of some of these already open. There are fewer idle persons In the United States now than at any previ ous time since the beginning of the scare last November. Aside from the chance—the very remote chance—that Bryan may be elected there Is not a cloud on the business horizon, so far as I can see at this moment. "Let it be remembered that in the shape in which it presents itself tariff adjustment will cause no perceptible halt in the revival of trade, ity its platform and the repeated promises of its candidate the dominant party is pledged to revision. Just as 1 have urged, the revising is to be done by in extra session of congress just as soon as the new president enters ollice In March, 1909. The adjustments will lie done In the interest of the American manufacturer, the American worker and the American consumer and not In the interest of the manufacturers and workers of (ireat Britain, Germany, Japan and the rest of Europe and Asia." As a reslgner Mr. Taft probably holds the record. 110 resigned as assistant prosecutor of Cincinnati to become In ternal revenue collector, resigned to be come superior court Judge, resigned to become solicitor general of the I'nlted States, resigned to become federal cir cuit court judge, resigned to head the Philippine commission, resigned to lie come secretary of war and Anally re signed that to run for president.

War Veterans And Pension Legislation. Republican Party Wholly Responsible For Caring For Old Soldiers. Democrats Opposed All Friendly Aid— A Damning Record. Taft Great Friend of G. A. R. The Republican party has just cause to be proud of its pension record. With the aid of patriotic men from other parties it waged to a successful conclusion the greatest war of modern times. It has never ceased to honor the officers and men who composed the victorious nrmy. Kvery Republican president elected since the close of that war had been a conspicuous officer of the Federal army with the exception of President Roosevelt, whose bril liant record in the Spanish war is a matter of Just pride to the American people. Republican Pension Legislation. Republican legislation for the old soldier, his widowf and his minor chil dren has been generous and bountiful. The invalid pension law of July 14. 1802, and the dependent law of June 27, 1890, are monumeuts of Republican achievement and bear witness to the country's tender care of its soldiers and Its sailors and their families. The act of June 27, 1890, is a fitting illustration of the generosity of the Republican party toward the veterans of the civil war. This law was passed by a Republican congress, was signed by a Republic-nil president, and through its administration there was expended during the next fiscal year a total amount of 7f>8,860.71. The number of soldiers receiving tbe benefit of this act was 443,721, while the num ber of the dependents relieved by this act was 171,259. The gains in the number of pensioners under this act over the previous year was S,ft43, and the gain from June 80, 1890, to Jan. 5, 1904, was 4.908. The Republican party pnssed the act of April 19, 1908, increasing pensions of all widows from $8 to sl2 per month and granting pensions without refer ence to the value of property or in come. The Republican party also passed the act of Feb. ti, 1597. granting pensions to soldiers by reason of ago alone, without regard to disability. Democratic Opposition Record. The Democratic party, as such, has opposed every measure voting appro priations for pensions. Its record for the past forty years is one of opposi tion to those men who bore the hard ships of war and jeopardized their lives that the Union might bo pre served. Here Is a brief list of their official adverse acts in congress to ward the veterans of the civil war: In 1878 a bill passed the house re pealing all limitations of time in which applications for arrears of pensions should be made. This was opposed by a majority of the Democrats. The bill increasing the Tensions for widows from $8 to sl2 per month was opposed by the Democrats. The amputation bill passed Aug. 4, 1896. was opposed by the Democrats and voted for solid ly by the Republicans in the bouse. The widows' arrears bill and the dis ability pension bill were both fought bitterly by the Democrats. In the Forty-third congress a de pendent pension bill was voted on in the senate, the Republicans supporting it solidly and the Democrats opposing it by a two-third vote. In the house this bill was voted for solidly by Re publicans and opposed by a majority of the Democrats. After it had passed the house and senate it was vetoed by President Cleveland, a Democrat. An effort was made in the house to pass the bill over Cleveland's veto, the Re publicans voting 138 for it and the Democrats voting 125 against it. This vote showed that twenty-nine Democrats who had originally voted for the bill hastened to avail them selves of the opportunity afforded by the president's veto to vote against it, thus testifying their real sentiments, while twenty other Democrats who hn.l dodged the lirst vote came up prompt ly and supported the veto. The de pendent pension bill was bitterly u;> posed by the Democrats, the Repub lieans putting it through despite th opposition. This bill, as the old sol diers well know, was promptly sigm ' by I'resident Harrison. Democrats Disliko Veterans. To sum up, the following gives 11. total of fourteen votes of congn— upon the most Important of the va; ous pension measures presented sin the war—viz: democrats for the bills 4 Democrats against the bills 64? Republicans for the bills l,o<:f Republicans against the bills None The official records of national legis lntiou show that of all the Republican presidents since the war only one has withheld his signature from any pen Mon bill, and that was General Grant, who was forced to decline to approve five of these bills. The Democrats have been In power for only a few brief years since the war, and their president, Grover Cleveland, vetoed 520 pension bills. The records s-how that every pension law has been pass ed by Republican votes, and every pen sion bill defeated has been defeated by Democratic votes. Kvery pension bill vetoed, 520 In number, was vetoed by a Democratic president except five. Pension Planks in Platforms. For the past fifty years the Demo cratic politicians have Juggled with the soldier vote and pension question in their platforms. While giving every evidence of being really hostile at h&art thwv have thravn ont hits of political r>nit rrom time to time in cno hope of <-I» Jol IIIK the veterans Into vot ing the Democratic ticket.' During all these years the Republican platform has rung as clear as a bell on the pen sion question, as per this plank In the 1008 platform: "Another Republican policy which must ever be maintained Is that of generous provision for those who have fought the country's battles and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. We commend the Increase In the widows' pensions made by the present congress and declare for a liberal administration of all pension laws, to the end that the people's grat itude may grow deeper as the mem ories of the heroic sacrifice grow more sacred with the passing years." The Democratic platform* favors pen sioning "the surviving veterans and their dependents because it relieves the country of the necessity of main taining a large standing army." The patriotism of the veterans is ignored. This platform does not favor pension ing widows and dependents of de ceased veterans, only "surviving vet erans and their dependents." OPPOSITE AS THE POLES. The Liberalism of Taft and the Radi calism of Bryan. The radicalism of Bryan and the rad icalism of Taft are as opposite as tho poles. The radicalism of the former, by training nod profession a politician, prompts to the advocacy of anything as good if new. The radicalism of the latter, by training and profession a statesman and jurist, prompts to the adoption of anything new if good. There are false teachers everywhere, and they are the chief obstacles to the spread of that species or radicalism that in Its greatest and best interpre tation means the uplifting of humani ty and tlie progress of the nation. The sort of radicalism or liberalism which adopts and advocates anything and everything in the category of theory und originality for personal aggran ilizement or momentary political gain Is the sort of radicalism that this coun try can well do without.

Dr. Romme, a well known medical authority, asks in a French journal whether man can live oil fruits alone and answers in the affirmative, says a special cable dispatch from Paris. Au ideal and "more than sufficient" fruita rian mean for the day is two pounds of fresh grapes, one poutul of dry tigs, one-half pound of almonds and one half pound of oranges. The menu can easily be varied. Ba nanas, strawberries, walnuts, chest nuts and hazelnuts are among the most nutritious fruits, while currants, cherries, plums, peaches, apricots and pears are also valuable. I)r. Itomme does not think it advisa ble to live entirely on fruit, but strongly recommends to every one a fruitarian regimen twice a year for a period of ten or tifte»>n days as a mar velous and unique health restorer.
