PETTY POLITICS.
Tho Roosevelt electors on the
Pennsylvania Republican ticket
under the guidance of their leaders,
havo given It as their ultimatum
that they will not retiro from the
Republican electoral ticket until
October 9th. They give as their rea
son for fixing this date that after
ward it will bo too lato to attack tho
regularity of their own Roosevelt or
Washington party ticket. They say
that if any attack Is made on the reg
ularity of their ticket they will, by
way of retaliation refuse to with
draw from tho Republican ticket at
all. They tactly admit that they
havo no legal or moral right to re
main on tho ticket, and that their
solo reason for doing so Is to play
a petty game of politics. They ad
mit that only electors who will vote
for Taft and Sherman should bo on
tho Taft and Sherman ticket, and
yet. In violation of every honest po
litical principle they refuse to get
off. By remaining on the ticket un
til October 9th thoy can narrow the
timo for tho Republican campaign
to less than four weoks. If they can
trump up a fake attack on their own
telket, thoy can givo that as an ex
cuse for preventing a completo set of
Taft and Sherman electors being
voted for at nil In Pennsylvania.
Every day they remain on tho Re
publican ticket they aro guilty of
doublo dealing with tho honest vot
ers of this Stato. If thoy should re
tain theso places until after tho bal
lots havo been printed thoy will bo
guilty of obtaining votes for them
selves under falso pretences from
some hundreds of thousands of hon
est voters, and guilty also of dis
franchising other hundreds of thous
ands -who understand tho deception,
and cannot vote at all.
For a party claiming to bo pos
sessed of so high a senso of political
morality, this Is an astounding
tbo Citizen 1'ubllshlng Company.

game of petty politics to play. For
a party whoso leaders and members
claim to monopolize most of tho po
litical virtues of tho country, this
Is an astounding exhibition of politi
cal morals, worthy of Tammany
Hall In its palmiest days. And not
the least edifying feature of tho sit
uation is to seo these electors, pre
sumably men of Irreproachable pri
vate character, everyone of them,
permitting themselves, doubtless
against tho conscience and the bet
ter judgment of most of them, to be
held fast in a position of political
dishonesty solely because tho bosses
of the new party require it.
PUZZLE PRIZES IN REAL ESTATE
So many people have been swind
led or deceived by buying real estate
when a fifty or one hundred dollar
prize is offered for the solving of a
simple puzzle, consisting of placing
figures, 1 to 9 In nine squares, that
a six year old child could solve, that
an amendment to tho Stato law was
introduced this year by Senator Pol
lock and the bill signed by Dovernor
Dix which aimed to make frauds of
this kind a crime in tho State of
New York.
Most any law, however well
meaning it may be can nearly always
be defeated or evaded by those who
are willing to be morally dishonest
if not legally dishonest, and so
there are still a few Arms operating
on this plan. Some have been trying
tho samo plan in Pennsylvania,
where people are not familiar with
these questionable methods. While
there are plenty of good, safe Invest
ments in New York real estate it is
a good idea to follow Dooley's ad
vice: "If some wan offers you suthin
fer nuthln or suithin for less than It
costs, put yer hand on yer pocket
book and call fer the purlice."
The best class of newspapers in
New York City will not take a real
estate puzzle prize advertisement at
any price. Carbondale Leader.
Yes, President Roosevelt did In
augurate tho Saturday half-holiday
for government employes at Wash
ington, but tho order to that effect
was accompanied by one requiring
these same employes to work half an
hour longer on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The country was prosperous and
happy under tho administration of
McKinley, tho apostle of protection.
Disturbance began soon after Roose
velt took over the direction of the
Government and continued until tho
Government and continued until ho
quit the White House. Undor tho
safe and sane policies of President
Taft good times are again in evi
dence, but along comes tho Bull
Moose demanding that Taft shall be
defeated. Will tho people stand for
It?

Governor Wilson's Opinion.
THE PENSION BILL NOT A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE
The loud proclamations In the North that tho act of May 11 was a
Democratic measure is entirely unsupported by facts. Tho majority of the
Democrats were all the time In opposition to any Increased pension legis
lation, and all pension bills were passed by the Republicans voting almost
solidly for them and being joined by enough Democrats from the North
ern States to make a majority. The passage of the act of May 11 began
in tho last session of the Gist Congress, when the Republicans in the
House by an almost unanimous vote passed the Sulloway bill. There was
a majority for it in the senate, and It was only defeated by a technical ob
jectlon'ralsed by a Republican Senator. In the meanwhile Gen. Sherwood
and other Democrats from Indiana, Ohio and Illinois had produced a great
movement in favor of the so-called dollar-a-day bill. Gen. Sherwood in
troduced a bill on these lines, which after being materially changed In the
House, was passed Dec. 12, 1911, by a vote of 229 yeas to 92 nays. Of the
229 yeas, 134, or nearly seven-elevenths, were cast by Republicans and
95 were cast by Democrats. Of the 92 nays only seven wero Republicans
and So Democrats. The six present who did not vote wero all Democrats,
and of the G2 who did not vote 23 were Republicans and 39 Democrats.
The substitute bill which Senator McCumber, Chairman of tho Senate
Committee on Pensions, reported, and which combined both the age and
service features, was brought to passage by Senator McCumber March 28,
1912, and passed by a vote of 51 to 10. Of the 51 yeas, 39 wero Republi
cans and 13 Democrats. Ten Republicans and 14 Democrats did not
vote.
Thus it will be seen that in both Houses 173 Republicans voted for
increased pensions to 108 Democrats. In both Houses 101 Democrats
voted against the pension bill to eight Republicans. Theso figures seem
to us conclusive as to the claim that tho pension bill was a Democratic
measure. Had the Democrats alone voted on the bill It would havo been
overwhelmingly defeated, as will be seen by the figures.
GOV. WILSON AND PENSIONS.
The temper of the papers which
are supporting Wilson are even more
bitter and vindicative against pen
sions and pensioners than under the
last Democratic administration.
These papers will control his admin
istration if ho Is elected. This
makes an unusually gloomy outlook
for the veterans and tnelr families.
Here are a few of the utterances of
tho strong Wilson papers:
(From Editorial in tho Jacksonville
(Fla.) Times-Union, Sept. 7,
1912.)
" As a general proposition nobody
denies that the Federal Government
has misused and misdirected the grat
itude of the country; that under the
plea of providing for those who had
'saved tho life of the Notion' a sys
tem of partisan machinery has been
developed which takes no heed of
worth or service, but only of party
loyalty. The limitation of time Is
about to operate against this. Is It
not 'possible that President Taft has
again been deceived Into giving his
nanio and lnlluenco to a proposition
more noxious than that which he ad
mits is working badly in England and
Germany?
" Certainly if the Government Is to
possess a horde of pensioners perma
nently, these should be disfranchised.
Tho veteran soldier was told that
his pension expressed tho gratitude
of the whole country for the ser
vices ho had given he owed noth
ing In return. But did ho fail to be
como tho stipendiary of a party; did
he fail to demand moro and ever
more Is ho not a Republican rather
than a citizen and tho willing sup
porter of the Republican machine?"
"Hiding (lie Infamy."
(From Editorial In Florida Times
Union, Jacksonville, Sept. 2, 1912)
Tho rottenness of the pension list
Is no longer disputed. Last year we
paid $159,842,287.41 In pensions for
veterans. Of them tho rolls declare
that wo havo 559,884. Why should
not tho names of theso be generally
known, so tho peoplo of all tho
country may bo given an opportunity
to Judge of tho honesty of this Na
tional expression of gratitude?
Can It bo true that wo aro oponly
taxing ourselves to "buy votes while
professing to punish tho collection of
campaign funds?
But what of tho foreigners who
enlisted to get tho bounty nnd thon
enlisted again and again? What of
the coffee-coolers and the deserters
who had boon put In tho list by tho
hundreds?
But why should any man deny
publicity to a list that honors tho
recipients of tho pensions and docs
credit to tho Nation that pays? Is

"Will l'runo Down the List."
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertis
er, speaking of the centennial of the
retreat from Moscow, notes that sev
en veterans of that retreat, the
youngest 11C years of age, while the
oldest was 127 years old. The Ad
vertiser says that tho act of May 11,
1912, will make an Increase of ?75,-
000,000 for pensions. It Is insisted
that the Democratic Party will
prune down tho pension expenditure
after 'Wilson's Inauguration. Then
tho Advertiser goes on to say:
" It Is nearly a half century since
tho war between tho States closed.
Although tho number of worthy vet
erans have constantly decreased
since 18G5, and havo decreased rap
Idly in tho past live years, tho pen
sion outlay has rapidly and con
stantly Increased sinco tho war was
stopped, and in recent years it has
Increased at tho rato of millions a
year. At this rato can tho U. S.
Government pay Its pensioners In tho
year 2012, which will bo 200 years
romoved from the time of Napoleon's
retreat from Moscow?"
"Wero Hirelings."
The Pensacola (Fla.) Journal
says:
" During tho civil war of nearly a
half century ago a largo percentage
of tho Federal troops wore hirelings
(of tho sort classified by Woodrow
Wilson In his book as undesirable
immigrants) from nearly overy
country under tho sun. iMany of
theso mercenary adventurers wero
killed while invading Southern
States, while tho survivors or their
heirs aro pension grabbers."
"Will Stop Tills Steal."
Tho Columbus (Ga.) Enqulror
Sun says that a scientist Is authority
for saying that in 500 years wo shall
not have any hairs on our heads,
which, It further says, will bo about
tho timo tho Inst Northorn pension
grabber will die. Tho election of
Wilson will stop this steal.
"Falsifiers, Grafters niul Perjurers."
(From tho Rocky Mountain News,
Denver, Sept. 12.)
Something Is radically wrong with
a Bureau that Is annually paying tens
of millions of dollars to individuals
In no wise entitled to recelvo them.
Nor Is It any honor for tho really
deserving to bo In tho lists with tho
falsifier, grafter and perjuror.
Can not something bo done to got
Gov. Wilson nnd tho Democratic
platform near enough together to
communlcnto by wlroless?

THE CONGRESSIONAL QUESTION.
Tho Democrats of this district
havo nominated Hon, Jool G. Hill
of Wayno county for congress. Mr.
Hill Is well known throughout tho
district as a man of tho highest abil
ity nnd strictest Integrity, and a
friend of tho laboring man, nnd ho
Btnnds highest whoro best known.
Tho peoplo of his own county have
repeatedly elected him to office, and
nlways without his solicitation. Ho
has been elected to tho ofllco of
county commissioner, asBoclato Judge
and stato senator, and always by
overwhelming majorities. When
.Mr. Hill was running for state sena
tor against C. C. iPratt ho received In
his own township 84 votes out of
88, although tho townshin was
strongly Republican. This shows
how highly ho Is esteemed by his own
friends and neighbors.
During tho war of tho rebellion
Mr. Hill, who was then a younc man
shouldered his gun and went to the
rront and served till tho end of tho
war with great credit and bravery,
taking part In many Important en
gagements. Ho did not win tho
title of "captain," liko Mr. Ainey, by
leading a regiment of militia against
a lot of unarmed worklngmen. Mr.
Hill served In tho stato senato with
such credit that he won tho respect
and admiration of all parties. Ho
nover flunked or dodged a vote, but
at all times stood manfully for what
ho believed to be right and his cour
ageous and manly action in this re
spect won for him tho highest re
spect, even of his political opponents.
Ho Is tho kind of man tho peoplo of
this district want In congress. If
elected ho will work faithfully for
the Interests of his own district and
of the people In general. Ho will not
bo found dodging votes nor playing
politics. Ho has tho courage and
honesty to stand up and be counted
and to speak and work and vote for
what ho believes to bo right. Ho Is
universally respected and held In tho
highest esteem in his own county,
and wherever he Is known. Manv of
tho leading Republicans of Wayne
county havo pledged their support
to Mr. Hill, becauso they have confi
dence in his ability, honesty and In
tegrity, and becauso they know
where to find him on every question
of public Interest. Tho people of
this district should turn out and give
Mr. Hill a rousing majority, without
regard to party. It surely speaks
highly for a man when his own
