KEYSTONE STATE STILL SOLID.
The optimistic view taken by
Chairman WALTON of the Repub
lican state committee concerning
the prospect of the party in the
coming campaign and the result of
the election in November is fully
Justified by facts and existing con
ditions. For some years it has been cus

to be smoothed out, and any other
means that should be adopted for
starting the campaign on a business
like basis.
These reports have been received
from nearly all of the C7 counties
and in none of them appears the
slightest cause for apprehension on
the part of the Republicans. On
the other hand, the chairmen of the
various county committees describe
conditions as better than they have
ever been before; in fact, the re-
ports indicate that the Republicans I
of the Keystone commonwealth are
lined up in force, ready to score an vehement exI)ect0ratIons?
old-fashioned victory In November.
When it is taken Into consldera-. Now, what an unpardonable over
tlon that the ticket named by the ; sight it was when the Carbondale
state convention at Harrlsburg June
22 Is made up of strong and sturdy
stalwarts of men whose political
and personal standing are of the
highest and that these candidates
are known and properly appreciat
ed not only In the communities in
which they live but throughout the
state, there is no reason for sur
prise at the fact that the party vo
ters are enthusiastic.
Chairman WALTON was afforded
opportunity to come in contact with
some of the enthusiasm when lie
went to Pittsburg for the notifica
tion of TENER and his associates,
and ho correctly sized it up when
he said:
"There is reason for general con
gratulations over the enthusiasm
evinced at the notification of the
state candidates of the Republican
party and the large number of active
Republicans from every section of
the state in attendanco at the cere
monies. "From personal contact with some
of the best informed men in the
state, I am safe in predicting that
there will bo an unprecedontly largo
vote polled for the Republican state
ticket this fall.
"Tho party is harmonious and
the candidates are men who will
appeal to tho voters of every class.
Mr. TENER has niado for himself
a platform such aB any business man
with patriotism and public spirit
would favor, and lipon every hand
It is manifost that tho people have
confidence in his sincerity and abil
ity to do what ho purposes."
To put the sltuatlo'n In a nut

We submit that Chapman lake Is

that the name "Camp Bllllken" is the
most outrageous Insult that ever was
sprung upon an ordinarily calm,
peaceful and unsophisticated com
munity. Do you remember the ori
ginal Bllllken and the horrible
grimaces ho cast about him that
would make even the town clock

he was, and is, have no place In
such a beauty spot as Chapman's

The Republican state candidates
were notified formally of their selec
tlon as the standard bearers of the
party at Pittsburg. The notification
address was made by Senator W. S
Vare of Philadelphia, John K. Tener,
the gubernatorial candidate, planted
himself squarely on the platform
adopted by the state convention and
pledged himself to follow in the foot
steps of Gov. Stuart. No reference
was made by any of the speakers to
the third party movement, none of
them obviously thinking it deserving
of attention. Somerset Herald.

Although Roosevelt has said It would
be "an absolute Impossibility" for
him to accept the governorship, It
must not be forgotten that he once
said It would be an absolute Im
possibility for him to accept the vice

made possible, and he became the

Every growing, ambitious town
Is composed of three elements:
Those who work patriotically, vig
orously and Intelligently for Its ad
vancement; those who are In a state
of apathy or Indifference; and those
who take n curious delight In dis
couraging the efforts of others by
ridicule, and by n persistent denial
that any progress can or has been
accomplished, and by boasts of every
other town besides their own. The
last class are called croakers, but
tliey are really something worse,
for their opposition does not arise
simply from despondency, but from
that unenviable spirit that will
neither net Itself nor suffer others

The Cnmbrln county Democratic
committee Monday adopted a resolu
tion, by an nlmost unanimous vote,
declaring "That It is the sense of
this convention of the Democrats
of Cambria county that Mr. Guf
fey's leadership of tho Pennsylvania
state Democracy should cease by his
resignation ns national committee
man." The resolution was offered by
Edward H. Bailey, associate editor of
the Johnstown Democrat. Col.
Guffey's retirement from "leader
ship," accompanied by that of Sen
ator J. K. P. Hall and one or two
others of similar stripe, would be
welcomed by the Democratic masses.
If these gentlemen will act upon the
Cambria county committee's hint, It
may save them the unpleasantness,

BERRY'S NEIGHBORS OBJECT,
There Is plenty of objection de
veloping against William H. Berry,
the bolting Democrat, In his own
home town of Chester.
There are in that vicinity many
prominent Democrats other than
uerry, and many of these do not
hesitate to say what they think of
Berry's attitude In bolting his party's
convention and in doing all he can
to bring about the defeat of the
candidates he said he would support,
Among these loyal Democrats are
John Cavenaugh, former chairman
of tho Chester county committee. He
is a stalwart for the party's nomi
nee, Webster Grim, and he does
not hesitate to say what he thinks
of Berry's bolting. He declares that
he is perfectly familiar with all the
details of the Allentown convention
and that there Is not the slightest
reason for any real Democrat op
posing the man that that convenlon
nominated.
Georgo Dale, ono of the foremost
Democrats of tho county, minces no
words In calling Berry an ingrate,
and in saying that no real Demo
crat would do anything but support
tho Allentown ticket. Ho says that
Berry is an Ingrate Because Col
Guffey not only had him nominated
four years ago for stato treasurer,
but that, after Berry's election, Guf
fey went down Into his own pocket
and provided salary largo enough
to get a cashier for Berry who would
bo extra competent.
For Berry to turn his back on his
party and upon Col .Guffey, its lead
er, Just because ho did not get tho
nomination at tho head of tho ticket
owing to tho unwillingness of tho
duly elected delegates to give It to
him, Is too much for Dalo, and ho
comes out and says so in strong
language. Editorial In Philadelphia

Democratic Dclcrlntn.
With Guffey gone Into bankruptcy
nnd his I. O. U. friend Berry
"knocking" the regular nominee of
tho Democratic convention, and the
regular nominee for lieutenant-governor
refusing to accept tho nomi
nation, the program for a fall cam
paign seems to be in a chaotic con
dition. Probably the severest blow to the
Democrats is the losing of the sup
port of the Philadelphia Record,
which has been forced over to the
Van Vnlkenburg-Fllnn-Sheatz-Glb-boney
faction.
The rank and file of the Demo
cratic party are In a stunned con
dition nt the loss of the Record's
support, and good old-time Demo
crats can hardly believe it.
But with all this factional fight
ing the Republican stato ticket Is
gaining strength nnd the Democratic
wrangle keeps up. The Republican
state ticket will profit to a large
degree.
The hopelessness of organizing nn
independent ticket out of the fac
tions that arc at war among them
selves on the Democratic side of tho
fence . are very remote, and If the
present controversy keeps up the
position of the "peace and harmony"
will be ridiculous, and the result
In November laughable.
The Republican forces, with John
KInley Tener at the head of the
procession, are taking an easy
march to an assured victory. Not
only will the Republicans elect the
entire state ticket, but In many of
the rural districts heretofore strong
ly Democratic, the Republican nom
inees will also bo elected. Editor

ERIE TRACKMEN'S WAGES.
Uniform Rato $1.50 Beginning Aug.
1 Extra Pay Sunday.
Foremen of trackmen along the
Erie have received word that begin
ning Monday. Aug. 1. the pay of
trackmen was Increased from $1.35
and $1.40 to a uniform rate of fl.50
a day. Pay and a half will be al
lowed for Sunday. The men at
present work 10 hours a day, so
the new rate will be equivalent to
15 cents an hour.
It has also been Intimated that
the wage sheets will be made up in
a different way from that followed
heretofore. Most of the trackmen
are Italians and numbers were used
on the payrolls to denote their
identity. Each man had a check
with a number which he presented
paydays and received his money.
The name of each man will
henceforth be regularly entered on
the payrolls. It cannot be ascer
tained what has been found wrong
with the old system, as It appeared
to work well enough, proving con
venient for the timekeepers and pay
masters. The latter will now have
to spell out the names of all the
Italians.

Aviation Not Dangerous, Snys Capt.
Baldwin.
Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, who Is
to follow the main line of tho Erie
from New York to Buffalo In tho
New York-St. Louis airship race for
tho Pultzer prize of $50,000, says:
"Thero is something deeper and
greater in aviation than amusement
or sport," he said. "It Is a great
science and one that will grow
greater every day. It Is still In the
field of experimentation. It Is
hnrdly yet a sport. It Is destined to
become of great commercial value.
I believe there Is no limit to Its pos
sibilities. 1 believe the day is com
ing when men will fly from city to
city ns they now make those Jour
neys by rail.
"The altitude of flight Is not an
Important matter after we have
reached such a height as to make
flying safe and free from the ordi
nary obstacles the earth may of
fer. "Rapidity of flight, distance of
flight and safety are the great prob
lems. With the solution of those
problems will also come the carry
ing cnpaclty of the acroplano for
either passengers or freight. As to
the value of the aeroplane in war,
certainly If the aeroplane Is de
veloped to a commercially practical
point It must become a practical
engine of war.
"I do not feel that the accidents,
fatal and otherwise, which are be
ing charged up to aviation are show
ing nny great danger In man at
tempting to fly."
Hero worship has increased won
derfully among the people of tho

part In life who Is entitled to Just
as much of that unnecessary and
foolish homage as some people are
thrusting upon Theodore Roosevelt
and, strange to say, many of these
people are occupying positions in
the religious, political and business
world, where we expect a rational
display of good common sense.
When the time comes for-the man
made heroes and the plain, ordinary
every-day man to throw off their
mortal bodies and be weighed on the
scnles of divine justice and worth,
and under conditions where the sugar
trust methods will not be permitted,
the result will, no doubt, show the
honest plodder In life had a value
greater than many of the highly
Illuminated characters who are ever
lastingly getting in front of the
limelight.
