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

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.

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.

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?"
