Of course, the object is to raise money for the church. Any old way to raise money “goes,” these days, just so the church gets the money. What a whole lot of modern-day churches need is the kind of a cleaning out that Jesus Christ once gave to the holy temple in Jerusalem. To an oufsider it looks as though the church is getting out of its element when it goes into the merchandising business or show business. CoxstaBLE H. J. Christner, of Elk Lick township, Pa., recently indicted a lot of young men for gambling. It serves them right, and they ought to get a pretty salty dose. The gang consists of a lot of fellows that always have money for booze and poker, but never have a cent to pay an honest debt with. Any- way, there is entirely too much gamb- ling in this community, and many young boys are coaxed to their ruin by the gambling route, by older persons, and it is time that an example is made of some of the chief gamblers. Many more ought to be arrested, and one of the worst offenders in the community is a little, insignificant, depraved scoundrel that wants to mix with re- spectable society, and who marches to church on Sunday with his wife by his side and his hymnal under his arm. He looks as sanctimonious as a sick monkey on his way to church, but itis a common thing for him to gamble un- til a late hour on Saturday nights, then go to church on Sundays and stick his sinful snout into the Holy Sacrament. But never mind, he will come to grief in due time, and the head men of his church should heed the scriptural in- junction, “give not that which is holy unto the dogs.” But it is too severe to compare the gambler in view to the canine family, and we apologize—to the dogs.

In another part of this issue of the Labor World we publish a brief sketch of the career of J. Lee Plummer, Re- publican candidate for State Treasurer of Pennsylvania. The facts of this sketch prove Mr. Plummer to be in truth a remarkable man, both as to mental ability and moral fortitude. His great and creditable success in life shows that he is not such stuff as dreams are made of. He is typical of those immortal Americans who have sprung from the lowly cottage or cabin and rocky paths of ill-requited toil to become great public blessings. From a wage-worker’s viewpoint there is much to be proud of in the early struggles of J. Lee Plummer. He was compelled when at tender years to “get out and hustle” to support the family. His father had met with a serious accident when on public duty. Young Plummer worked with a will and with hope. He soon displayed marked ability, and he became a “prominent man” before he had attain- ed his majority. It is natural that such men of talent as Mr. Plummer should reach import- ant public offices of trust. He has been no exception, and to his credit let it be recorded that he has been true to the interests of the masses in the per- formance of his duty. As chairman of the Committee on Appropriations his work exists as a monument to his fidel- ity to the best interests of the people. His sympathies and efforts were for the poor, the very poor. Doubtless his struggles in early life prompted him unswervingly in this direction. His policy as chairman of the Appropria- tions Committee regarding free beds in hospitals and the treatment of the insane poor cannot but win for him the help of the workers for wages. His noble effort to have the State care for consumptives unable to help them- selves is another proof of hie strong de- sire to aid and uplift struggling hu- manity. Such men as Mr. Plummer, embody- ing all the sterling qualities character- istic of the truest Americans, afford the very best examples to the sons of the wage-workers. Depend upon it, they prove that poverty is not a bar- rier to success when determination and honesty of purpose are employed. Thus it is that these examples should be encouraged by those who benefit most by them, that is. the working men themselves. Let the honorable and progressive course of the quondam news boy be cuntinued. His past gives assurance for the future. He comes from the ranks and is one of the people. —TLabor World. Let Them Alone. The woods and the fields and the streets are full these days of glib- tongued agents. who are exploiting “gilt-edged” opportunities to raise great crops of money by planting just a little seed. Some of them are mining schemes, some ‘‘co-operative” concerns, some go-called “investment companies” —and nearly all of them are frauds. The people who can lay by a few dol- lars per month will find stable savings institutions right here at home which will give them as liberal treatment as is consistent with safety. If they have a little more to invest, there are secur- ities that are secure—stocks and bonds in home institutions, or at least in cor- porations of whose solidity there is no question, which pay as large returns as can be obtained on safe investments anywhere. The prosperity which has prevailed through recent years in this country has led to the formation of scores of companies pretending to conduct all sorts of business, but having really only one object in view—the separation of the unwary from their money. They may flourish and pay big dividends as long as good times reign and the crop of victims continues to increase. But when the inevitable day of reckoning comes along they will be found sadly wanting. Some of the “promoters” are likely then to go to jail; but that will be rather poor comfort for those who have invested their hard-earned cash and lost it.—Johnstown Tribune. ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL.

Press Bulletin of The Pennsylvania Experiment Station. BY GEORGE C. BUTZ. Early in the year the Station secur- ed, through third parties, specimens of the so-called nitro cultures, sold by the National Nitro Culture Company, of West Chester, Pa. These cultures are stated to consist essentially of the bae- teria which produce the so-called tu- bercles on the roots of leguminous plants, and thus enable these plants to acquire nitrogen from the air. In view of the extravagant claims made for these cultures, it was deemed desirable to attempt to learn something of their actual value. Since the Station lacks a bacteri- ologist, pot experiments in the green- bouse were made to ascertain whether tubercles were actually formed on the roots under the influence of these cul- tures. Four different legumes were used, namely: alfalfa, vetch, soy bean and cow pea. The seeds of each were inoculated with the corresponding cul- ture exactly as directed and planted in six-inch flower pots filled with steril- ized sand. A sufficient quantity of mineral plant food was ‘added to each pot, but no nitrogen, it being claimed that these bacteria are most active in the absence of this element. The pots were kept in the greenhouse and wa- tered as needed. Germination took place equally well in all pots. The plants made a com- paratively small growth, but in three cases out of four there was a slight dif- ference in favor of the plants which were not inoculated, the exception be- ing the alfalfa. When the plants had nearly completed their growth, the roots were carefully separated from the sand by washing and examined with a magnifying glass for nodules. Many of the plants were entirely free from them and on none were more than a few found, and no material dif- ference was noted between the inocun- lated and the uninoculated. The exact figures were as follows :— On 12 Alfalfa plants Inoculated - - 9 nodules Not inoculated - 8 * On 12 Vetch plants Inoculated - - 2 “4 Not inoeulated - 2 On 6 Soy bean plants Inoculated - - se 0 Not inoculated - 0 ot On 8 Cow pea plants Inoculated - - 3 t Not inoculated - 1 bis The above experiments fail to show any beneficial effects from the use of the nitro cultures. While the Station would not be justified in passing final judgment on the basis of a single ex- periment, our results certainly indicate the desirability of caution on the part of the farmer in investing in these cul- tures.

Kooser, of Somerset, died last Thurs- day, Sept. 7th, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. D. Sargent, at Averne, Long Island, N. Y., where she had been visiting since June. Mrs. Kooser had been ailing for quite a while, but her death was not expected so soon. Her husband and children were at her bedside when the end came. The deceased was the only daughter, of Hon. Andrew J. Ogle, formerly a member of Congress from this county and at the time of his death, in tle early Fifties, Minister to Denmark. She is survived by her husband, one son and two daughters. Her remains were interred at Somerset, last Sunday, and the funeral service was conducted by Revs. Geo. W. Knepper and Peter Vogel. Mrs. Kooser was widely known and universally respected and esteemed for her noble Christian character and general good qualities. SE LIKE FINDING MONEY.
