IlIE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1000. PENROSE TO LEAD THE BUTTER FIG Pennsylvania Senator Champion of Dairy Interests, TO FOLLOW TARIFF VICTORY Republican Leader of the KeyGtone State to Load the Forces of the Agricultural Interests at the Next Session of the National Congress. Special Correspondence Harrlsburg, Pa,, Sept. 7. Reports from very section of the Etate confirm the predictions that tho farmers of Pennsylvania would bo found standing loyally by the Repub lican party In the present state cam paign. In tho framing of the tariff bill, which was recently passed at Wash ington, the interests of the fanners and dairymen of the Keystone State were carofully looked after by tho Re publican representatives in congress, and by also conserving the welfare of the wage earners and capitalists iden tified with great industrial concerns, the same Republican representatives promoted the general good. The farmers thrive when their fel low countrymen are employed at re munerative wages, for the great army of workers in tho factories and mine.-? and in commercial life are the pur chasers of tho products of the farms. From every quarter comes tho news of revival of business and the relight ing of the fires of the coke ovens am' the turnaces of great manufacturing plants as the direct result of the pas sage of a Republican tariff bill. To Lead Fight For Farmers. Senator Penrose, who filled a most important role as a leading member of the United States senate's nuance committee in drafting tho tariff act, had tho hearty co-operation of his col league, the junior United States Sena tor George T. Oliver, and every one of the Republican members of the house from Pennsylvania. Now that the tariff Issue has bc?n settled prominent factors among tho grangers and the dairymen of this state have inaugurated a movement for national protection for tho butter makers against the sale of oleomar garine and other similar products in imitation of butter. As ho did in the tariff agitation. Senator Penrose has come to tho front as tho champion of the dairy Interests of his native state and the country at large as well. Ho has recognized the numerous de fects in federal statutes which govern the manufacture and sale of oleomar garine, uutterlnc. renovated or pro cess butter and adulterated butter and ho has agreed to co-operate with the prominent leaders of tho Orange, Pure Gutter Protective Association, the National Dairy Union and kindred agricultural organizations that wish to see these evils corrected at the ses sion of the Sixty-first congress, which convenes in December noxt To Draft a New Bill. Senator Penrosei has requested a committee of the State Grange of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania state department of agriculture and tho Pure Butter Protective association of Pennsylvania, with A. II. Woodward, of Clearfield, and Assistant United States Attorney Walter C. Douglas, Jr., as attorneys, to prepare a bill which Senator Penrose will introduco as soon as congress shall reconvene. Senator Penrose says tho defectivo character of the national laws works great Injury to dairymen, farmers, merchants and consumers. The pro posed measure is to bo drafted with the greatest care, and whilo it will not prevent tho legal manufacture and salo of oleomargarine and other but ter substitutes, it will certainly pre vent tho sale of these products for butter. Farmers, dairymen and all fair minded people do not object to tho manufacture and salo of oleomarga rine for what it is, but they do very properly oppose tho marketing of this commodity as the genuine product of the cow. Statistics from tho Pennsylvania do- partment of agriculturo show that about 90 per cent of oleomargarine sold at retail is represented by the venders to bo puro butter. Deception of this kind is a great detriment to tho dairyman, and it also enables unscrupulous dealers to do- fraud consumers who aro induced to pay a price for oleomargarine consid erably In excess of its real market value. It Is held that tho word "knowingly' should bo omitted from the oleomar garine laws bocause in many cases it lias been found impossible to secure convictions on account of inability to prove that tho offender knowingly vio lated the law. It Is also held that the definition of oleomargarine should bo so changed that butter, with or with out coloring matter, could not bo used in its manufacture, and that stamps should be visible and a record kept of the serial numbers so that every pne'r pr.o r-iv i'o traced to the dea'er ur immuf atiuvi r. STATE CHAIRMAN RAISES THE FLAG Republican Headquarters Opened For Fail Campaign. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR VICTORY Will Not Be an "Off Year" In Penn sylvania, Where All the Great In terests Call For Continued Republi can Control In State and National Politics. Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, Sept 7. With the opening of the state com mittee headquarters today the Repub lican eompaign in Pennsylvania was formally inaugurated. Although it is a fact that Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chairman of the state committee, has been at work for weeks corresponding with county chairmen and other influential Repub licans and has had tho party machin ery in active operation ever since he quit his activities in promoting the passage of tho tariff bill at Washing ton, the general canvass for tho elec tion of the nominees of the Republican state convention may be fairly said to have been started this morning. Republicans from interior counties who come here will be delighted with tho new headquarters of the state committee. The old establishment on Locust street below Fifteenth has been aban doned and thoroughly up to date com mittee rooms have been secured in the dwelling formerly occupied by former Congressman Morrell on Broad street below Spruce. It Is a four-story struc ture with all modern equipment. It Is admirably adapted for campaign work. Chairman Andrews, Secretary W. Harry Baker, of Dauphin, and Treas urer Charles Johnson, of Montgomery, have all been located In desirable of fices, and Sergeant-at-Arms Cassell has assigned the corps of clerks and typewriters to suitable quarters throughout the building. Long distance telephones keep the chairman in touch with the county committeemen in all parts of the state, and commodious rooms are available for meetings of the general committee or of sub-com mittees as they shall be called to gether from time to time. An Important Campaign. While this to many is what is term ed an "off year," Colonel Andrews does not intend that It shall be an "off year" as far as the work at state com mittee headquarters are concerned. lie is proceeding upon tho line that this is but a preliminary campaign for the election of a Republican gov ernor and the election of a solid Re publican delegation to congress next year. He has reminded all of his Hew tenants that in June next the nomina tions will be mado for governor, lieu tenant governor and secretary of in ternal affairs, for congressman In each of the thirty-two districts In the state. for state spnator in all of the even numbered districts and for representa tives in all of the state assembly dls triets, and that the legislature which will convene on the first Monday of January, 1011, will elect a successor to George T. Oliver, the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania. With the Importnnt Issues that will confront the voters next year Colonel Andrews in all of his appeals for sup port for the party nominees this fall dwells upon the necessity of strength ening the Republican lines in every direction and of indorsing the work of tho Republican congress at Wash ington, which has protected Pennsyl vania's interests. Scheme to Win Votes. Within tho last few days the Re publican leaders have unearthed a scheme of the Democrats to win so- called "complimentary" votes from Robert von Moschziskcr, the party's nominee for justice of the supreme court, and in favor of C. La Rue Mun son, tho Williamsport Democrat, who is running for that office. They have obtained possession of a number of letters written to Republi can members of the bar and others, seeking support for Mr. Munson. One of these letters was written by N. M. Edwards, of Williamsport, in a fishing expedition for Republlcar voters. In this letter ho said: "Will you oblige mo with tho names of two or three Republican members of the bar of your county who will support for election to tho supreme court tho Hon. C, La Rue Munson, formerly president of tho Pennsylva nia State Bar association? Already a large number of tho leading lawyers of the state, irrespective of party, have oxprossed their intention to support Mr, Munson." Republicans Are Warned. As tho result of the receipt of this and similar letters by members of the bar, Chairman Andrews has sent out a note of warning to Republican com mitteemen that they may advise the members of tho bar and others who may bo likewise approached of the tactics that aro being employed by tho Democratic politicians and otlio'-" v- are active in promoting tho Munoon candidacy. ermong For a Theme: VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION. 4- "b 4- By Rev. William C. Stinson, D. D. Text: There hath no temptation taken you but such as Is common to man; but God, who Is faithful, will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to es cape, that ye may be able to bear it. I, Corinthians, x., 13, J- Every man realizes that when he would do good, evil is present with him. Sanctity is ever pursued by flaunting forms of sin that lurk In ambush, choose their moment for surprise and spring upon their victim when he least suspects their presence. Sometimes we divido persons into tho tempted and the untempted. There are persons whose life Hows along as smoothly and quietly as a brook in a sheltered meadow. They seem not to be disturbed by any temptations within or without. Or they livo on such high altitudes of spiritual se renity as to escape the moral miasmas of the valley. Let us not bo deceived by such a classification. Weak, shallow natures are tho only ones exempt from temptation. They aro below temptation, not nbove it. Strong natures never escape temptn tion, and usually the stronger the personality the stronger and fiercer the temptation. Temptation itself is not sin. Temptation is infection, sin is disease. Whether one catches or resists the disease depends upon his moral constitution. Malaria seizes the man in whose body the disease finds a susceptible condition. Temp tation Is an inducement to depart from the path of rectitude, and may spring from without or from a man's own nature. As an outward solicita tion it comes to one man, and he says "Yes." It comes to another man, and he says "No." The outward temptation arouses the personality within a man. The outward appeal to do wrong measures the temptable ele ment within. The reason why one man overcomes temptation and another does not is not so much because of difference in circumstances, but because of the dif ference in personality. You may place two men in the same environment. One man succumbs to its temptation because he has in his moral constitu tion the element of defeat; the other overcomes because ho has within him the pledge of victory. This is not underrating circum stances. Many a man's security from temptation lies in cutting himself loose from the outward associations of wrong. Let him make a solemn compact with himself that he will re main away from the place of tempta tion. The devil enters the soul of many a man through his mouth, his eyes, his ears. The man thus influ enced should make a holy covenant with liis senses of taste, sight and hearing, But a man's security lies not so much in seclusion. He must go out into the world. The greatest safe guard against temptation is self-culture. A healthy body Is the best re sistant against disease. Rules of life are good, but frequently powerless Better is it to rave a strong soul, iron in the blood. Let a man build up his moral constitution by thinking noble thoughts, derived from the habitual practice of reading good books, per forming noble deeds, association with pure women and honorable men. Let a man walk in the spirit and lie will not fulfil the lusts of tho flesh. Good literature, pure friendship and honor able toil are among the methods which God provides to enable a man to overcome. Of all books tho Bible is the best, for it passes as iron into the blood and gives vigor to tho will, Of all friendships the sense of tho companionship of the Man of Nazareth is the most invigorating. The power and purity of His life may be claimed and used in every hour of temptation. Devote yourself to God and you will find God fights tho battles of a will resigned. Abstinence vs. Moderation. I had tried both ways; I speak from experience. I am in good spirits, because I take no spirits; I am hale, because I take no alo; I take no anti dote in the form of drugs, because I take no poison In the form of drinks. Thus, though In the first instance I sought the public good, I havo found my own also since I became a total abstainer. I have these four reasons for continuing to bo one: (1) My health is stronger; (2) my head is clearer; (3) my heart is lighter; (4) my purse is heavier. Dr. Thomas Guthrie. Soul Flowing Out. Prayer is the flowing out of tho soul to God in obedience and inspira tion. Tho man who prays is not so much a suppliant to God, as a sympa thizer with Him. Ho does not beg at the gate; he adores at the throne. Rev. W. J. Dawson. Talking. You can never get the temperature of n church to go up when the folks are talking one another down. BETTY AN' THE BEAR. Twos on a summer morning fair While Hetty made the firo And Bill snored In the rocking chair And dreamed he was the squire, A bear Knocked down the cabin door And Jumptd for Dotty with a roar. While 13111 leaped from his easy chair Not at the bear, but up tho stair And quickly pulled the stair up there. Oh, what a stnro did Betty fair Get from that hungry, savneo bear! He reached to catch her golden hair, But Betty's ax swung through the air And split his solar plexus square, While Bill, safe In the loft o'erhead, Yelled: "Betty, kill Mm dead! Give Mm n pood one In tho eye! Hit Mm as'hi an' he will die!" When Bill was sure the bear was dead He scrambled down from overhead, And, strutting to tho slaughtered bear, He stood upon him lying there, And, waving his arms In the air. He shouted: "Betty, didn't we kill tho bear? Oh, didn't ho roar around and rare? Oh, didn't we hit Mm fair an' square? Betty, didn't wo uns kilt that bear?" Oh, why didn't Betty hit Bill there As he got off such redhot air? Why didn't she whack him on the snout And kick the measly coward out? Go ask those women of today. Whom man desci ts in life's fierce fray, And when alono tliey'vo slain the bear Tho coward chump gets oft the air, "Betty, didn't we una Kill that bear?" O. M. MAKNITSS. Plumage.
