TAFT, PRESIDENT OF THE UXITED STATES. UNDER TAFT'S ADMINISTRATION The tariff has been revised. With in a year following passage of the Payne bill wages were increaseu more than ?500,000,000. Industry Is operating at high pressure, gener al business is prosperous and there Is a scarcity of labor everywhere. Two acts providing safety for rail way employes and proper inspection of appliances have been passed. Tho Federnl Mining Bureau, ror reducing the dangers -to- workmen! haB been- established - A children's bureau, to minimize Infant mortality, and reduce child employment in factories, has been organized. Pensions for Union veterans or the War of the Rebellion have ibeen broadened and Increased. White slavery has been outlawed and checked. Our trade with foreign nations has been enormously Increased, particu larly In Iron and steel manufactures. Congress has made the contract between railroads and their employ es more favorable to the latter. Shippers by rail and patrons of ex press, telegraph and telephone com panies are assured just rates by rea son of additional authority conferred upon the Inter-State Commerce Com mission. Tho eieht-hour law on Government work has been extended to Include conract supplies. Practice In the federal courts has been simplified to the interest of all litigants, which will relievo partlcu arly the poor suitor. Postal savings banks have been es tablished to the great convenience of persons who formerly hoarded their surplus. Provision has been made for the parcels post, which will begin opera tions January 1. These nro nnioiic tlio achievements of three years of Taft. Xo other ad ministration within tho same brief limit has accomplished so many sub stantial uencilts to tho people. Why mako a change, Involving widespread upheaval or business, when .ever' physical and material condition is favorable. At a Republican meeting held Tuesday evening In Harrlsburg, Governor J. K. Tener devoted con siderable attention to tho practical accomplishments of tho Taft admin istration. His address was tho key note of the rally. Governor Tener called attention to tho fact that President Taft came Into office fac ing a panic in the country and a governmental deficit of ?C7,000,000. To-day there Is countrywide prosper ity and no deficit. Ho has mado tho Postofllco Department, for tho first time, self-supporting. He has brought business people to an under standing of what tho law requires and tho knowledgo that they must llvo up to thoso requirements. "And I am glad to say that Penn sylvania has done equally well under Republican administration," contin ued Governor Toner. "Right hero In Harrlsburg wo have given you tho things you want In tho way of park cxtonslon and have made your city the hub of a great road system. Aro you going to turn Ropublcans out of office for giving you the things you want? I know you are not, If you you only pauso to think about it. And that Is tho thought I would leavo with you think, think, think." Taft Will Ho Re-elected. An honest estimate of the candi dates forces tho conviction that Pros Ident Taft Is tho man for the people to .elect this year. He represents in tegrlty, courage, Juatlco and Teal progress, and Is In complete 'bar nidny with the new era of prosperity thatsls now setting In for all the land. If the people of the United States give this subject the attention It deserves. President Taft will be re-elected by an overwhelming ma jority, and his success will mean re newed prosperity and glory for this Republic. Scranton Truth. Swing for Tnffc is Increasing, Says ttva. - uus. ... ,. Republican national headquarters wero more busy Wednesday than any time since the campaign opened and Chairman Hilles conferred with par ty leaders from various sections. He said that he was more than pleased with recent developments, and that there was little doubt that the swing toward President Taft was lncreas lng as the days went by. Tho chairman's chief caller was United States Senator Robert Gam ble of South Dakota, who reported that the electoral situation in that state was being cleared up. The Roosevelt electors would bo removed from tho Republican column, he said, and at a convention to be held September 19, Taft men would be designated In their places. Hull Mooscrs Disturbed. The Bull Moose is reported to bo greatly disturbed over the "baiting" he has been getting In California by J. M. Harlan and J. Adam Bede, known as the "Taft truth tellers," who have been following tho Colonel from place to place and showing up somo of his statements In a manner not at all creditable to him. A dls patch from Los Angeles says this has been getting on the Colonel's nervo to such an extent that ho scolds and rants about it to his as sociates when tho "dear people" are not within hearing. Tho thing which troubles him most Is that Harlan and Bedo aro drawing as big crowds as himself. Ohio and Kentucky Im Line. National Chairman Hilles has re ceived reliable reports from Ohio and Kentucky that tho sentiment of the voters is rapidly turning to Taft. It is said that Roosevelt's high-handed expulsion of all tho southern colored delegates from the Bull Mooso con' ventlon at Chicago will cost him Kentucky. ELECTED ASSESSORS TO SERVE Last fall there was some excite in out over tho election of men to fill the office of assessor, becauso of tho fact that this office was not Included In tho schedule of tho constitutional amendments. Various opinions were given out and It was decided that tho old assessors would continue to servo In that capacity. Tho newly elected assessors were therefore left out In tho cold, so to speak, and thoso whose terms expired In 191 wero notified that they could hold over until 1913. Now, by a decision of tho Superior Court, tho men who wero elected last fan to nil that or lice aro entitled by law, to hold It and that stato of affairs turns th tables on thoso who were allowed to hold over.

Deaman and Dr. i 13. M. Cowell of Athens, charged wltrr conspiracy ns a result of tho sellout of the Kcystono Guards of Athens, a fraternal lnsurnnco com pany with over 8000 members, re turned a verdict of guilty, says a des patch from Towanda. Deaman was supremo president, nnd Doctor Cowell was supreme med ical examlnor for tho guards. With other officers they accepted ?100, 000 for refusing to bo re-elected and turned tho business and assets over to New York parties, with the result that over $300,000 of tho funds be longing to the policy holder has been dissipated. Tho former officers, after their ar rest, returned the money they re ceived for their olflco. A number of tho other former olflcers were also Indicted for conspiracy and will be tried as soon as possible. SOMETHING ELSE TO TRY OUR PATIENCE ewsnaper Editors Evidently Have Not Enough to Do Outside of Pleasing tho Public. Washington. Sept. 19. Postmast er General Hitchcock to-day Issued Instructions for carrying into effect the new newspaper and periodical law, Hrst returns under which must be mado by October 1. Tho law requires that publishers shall file on the first days of April and October of each year, both with the postmaster general and with the local postmaster, under penalty of denial of the use of the malls, a sworn statement of the names and addresses of tho owner, publisher, editor, managing editor, and busi ness manager, of their newspapers and periodicals. Religious, frater nal, temperance and scientific pub lications are exempt. For a corpor ation, tho names of tho holders of more than one per cent, of the stock, bonds, or other securities, must be given, and, In the case of dally news papers, a statement of the average aid circulation for the preceding six months Is required. All editorial or other reading mat ter appearing In a newspaper or magazine for the publication of which pay is accepted or promised, must be marked "Advertisement" under a fine of not less than $50 or moro than $500. Although this law was not favor ed by the postofllco department," said Postmaster General Hitchcock, '.It will be administered faithfully and impartially. In framing the act congress doubtless had in mind the leading daily nowspapers, out It will afreet also nearly 18,000 weeklies Many of these publications are hav ing a hard struggle for existence and will And the making of returns considerable burden. "In my Judgment, and I so ex pressed It to the congress, the pro- Islon will be harmful, as It will re quire the continuous use of valuable spaco in the publications and, at the same time, be resented as a censor- hip of the press. One of the great est difficulties now encountered in the enforcement of laws relating to tho second-class mall privilege, Is that the postofflce department Is compelled by law to make Inquiry into so many aspects of tho private business of the publishers. This gives rise to tho complaint Ill- rounded in my Judgment that tho government Interferes needlessly with the privileges of the press. My udgment Is that It should be the constant aim, not only of the con gress, ,but of tho postofflce depart ment, to lessen the necessity for supervision of the public press In the enactment and administration of postal laws." On July 1, 1912. thero wore 28.- 144 nowspapers and periodicals en joying second-class mail privileges. There wero 2,514 dallies, 17,217 weeklies, 5,277 monthlies, 13B1 quarterlies and 1785 having other periods of issue. Of these, all ex cept about 1,500 exempted publica tions, will be affected by tho now law.

It Is an act of self- chastlsemont and partly has a roflex lnfluenco, for hunger and weakness toll upon tho conscience: they mor tify pride, break down obstinacy, cast men down before God In hu mlllty and contrition. Tho thoughts being taken away from tho carnal occupation of eating it helps fix time upon tho needs or tno soui. On Friday, September 20, special services -will be held In Beth Israel at this place.

Ham, of tho law firm of Ham & Ham. Wauseon. Ohio, Monday: This Is the connecting link or clevis between tho Stourbridge Lion engine and tho tender. This clevis, as wo learned from father, was tho one he took from the engine by sug gestion from his foreman, while working for tho Delaware and Hud son Canal company. I cannot glvo tho date, but I know from what fath er said it was before I was born and I am GO years old. It was used on the farm for many purposes up to tho time rather sold his farm In 1873, when the writer who was then present, took It from a pair of bob sleighs and brought It home from Ohio, where It has remained In my possession ever since. I give It to you for your personal disposal. You win noto that It is not a common pieco of metal and also notice the workmanship. "Yours truly, "THOS. F. HAM." Mr. Ham prizes the clevis verv highly. It is looked upon by tho public with much curiosity and Is a valuable relic of tho first locomotive. After keeping It in his possession for some time he will probably send tho clevis to the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. C, where the Stour bridge Lion Is on display. ihe clevis is possibly the last niece belonging to the historic engine in this section of the country. A rep resentative of the government went through Honesdale and other towns a few years ago and collected all the available loose pieces that persons had taken from the old locomotive, when It stood as scrap In Honesdale. The boiler was shipped to Washing ton and tne loose pieces placed In their proper location on the old en gine. Missing parts were made and to-day tho people of tho land vleTC tho Stourbridge Lion almost as It ap peared wnen it made Its initial trip In Honesdale 83 years ago.
