FREELAND, PA., JULY 25, 1902.
One of Quay's objections to Elkln as
a candidate for governor was that Pen
rose would be in danger of defeat for
the senate should Elk in head the tick
et. The fai't is that Mr. Penrose's case
never looked worse than it does at the
outset of Pennypacker's campaign.
Quay failed of election at the session
of '99 and would have failed at the
last except for the most unblushing
bribery. Quay had al! the united sup
port of the stalwart element, some
thing that Penrose is not at all likely to
receive. With the Democrats, Indepen
dent Republicans and some of the regu
lars against him, it looks as if Pen
rose might as well declare himself out
of tile race. It would he hard to find
a candidate who would not represent
the state with more credit, so there
need l>e no worry over the matter.
When Judge Pennypacker declares
that Pennsylvania has no evils worthy
of mention he gives the lie direct to
the North American, Ledger, Press and
the many other Independent papers of
the state, as well as to many stalwart
papers outside of the state that declare
Pennsylvania to he the worst ring-rld
don commonwealth of the union. The
Philadelphia Press has for years been
waging a hitter war against the evils
of Quayism, but now it turns about
face and says that because Pennypack
er Is an honest man it will support
him. The Press well knows that
Ponnypacker is Quay's man and that,
if elected, he will absolutely follow
Quay's orders. Why shouldn't he, when
he declares that Quay is one of the
greatest men of the age? The course
of the Press may be consistent enough
for Philadelphia politics, but it is sad
ly Inconsistent with the dictates of
honesty and courage.
"God pity the man who sells his vote
in this fight," exclaimed State Treas
urer Harris the day before the late Re
publican convention. According to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, Mr. Elkin, Sena
tor Focht and many others forty-one
of the delegates would be entitled to
the divine pity invoked by Mr. Harris.
Mr. Harris expressed the opinion at the
same time that a purchased nomination
would create such a sentiment through
the state that It would he utterly im
possible to elect the candidate who se
cured ttie dishonest nomination. Mr.
Harris ought to he authority on the
matter of bribery, for being a promi
nent member of the last house he is
supposed to he more or less familiar
with the number of men who sold
themselves on the various measures,
how much they were paid, etc. He
didn't, however, then seem to think It
so serious a matter, but rather con
sidered it a good thing for the party.
Where would Speaker Marshall have
been or Boss Quay had it not been for
the men who sold themselves the last
session. What reason has Mr. Harris
for thinking the people will resent all
this devilment at the polls? Is he do
ing all he can to avenge the bribery of
the forty-one votes which defeated his
candidate for the governorship?
The most effective Democratic argu
ment in favor of Pattison's election is
Pennypacker's fulsome praise of Sena
tor QunV. — Williamsport Sun.
The nomination of ex-Governor Rob
ert E. Pattlson for governor by the
Democratic State Convention is prob
ably the strongest that could have been
made by the minority party, and Is cer
tainly a unique honor in the political
history of the state. As a man and an
official, Mi>. I'attison has enjoyod the
confidence and esteem of the people
whom lie has served in a public capac
ity, and ha will, therefore, bring to his
canvass a strength which no other can
didate fh his parly ranks could ex
pect.—Lancaster New Era (Rop.).
A preamble of Relfgratulatlon deny
ing any credit to the Almighty for
whatever of prosperity is supposed to
exist, followed by a mass of words as
meaningless as the chattering of daws,
constitutes the platform adopted by
the Republican convention. A sop is
tossed to veteran soldiers and sailors,
the same sop which has been thrown
at them for years as though the Re
publican party paid the pensions, and
at the same time admission Is made of
the abuses and atrocities In the Phil
ippines which the national administra
tion tried so hard to conceal. New
Jlavcn Democrat.
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Household C leanliness.
All housekeepers worthy the nnmo
aspire to cleanliness without stopping
to think that It Is of three sorts—tra
ditional, aesthetic und sanitary. It
may be remarked In passing that the
last of these three is the only one that
bears any intimate relation to godli
ness.
Traditional cleanliness was the strong
point of the old fashioned model house
keeper. She directed her energies to
ceaseless scrubblngs and scouiings, but
was the sworn enemy of air und sun
shine. She rejoiced in such übomlna
tlens as feuther beds, cotton stuffed
coverlids, ullover carpets and similar
homes for enterprising disease germs,
and she cured little about the location
of the well provided it was handy for
her persistent but misdirected cleans
ing operations.
Aesthetic cleanliness, as still prac
ticed in nine houses out of ten, is even
more heedless of the laws of liculth. It
was In deference to Its demands that
plumbers Invented wood cased water
pipes and furniture dealers the fold
ing bed and washing cabinet. All it
demands Is that whatever It fancies
unsightly shall be covered up or put
out of the way.
Now, sanitary cleanliness—lt might
also be called reul cleanliness in dis
tinction from the other sorts—is a very
different matter. It rests on the two
great sciences of physiology and bac
teriology, and It cannot be successfully
secured without at least a rudimentary
knowledge of the principles on which
it is founded. The old fashioned house
keeper hated dust because it looked
untidy and provoked the adverse crit
icism of her sex. Her granddaughter
hates it because it excites pulmonary
diseases or is likely to contain stray
germs inimical to health. The practi
cal difference lies In the fact that the
scicntiiic housekeeper will make war
not only against the dust in sight, but
against the dust which she merely sus
pects of existing. She has seen through
the microscope the secrets of air and
water, and her standard for the purity
of the household surroundings Is raised
by her knowledge of the invisible dan
gers to health and comfort.
IliKh Chair For Baby.
One of the earliest requirements of a
child is a high chair with a shelf in
front to prevent a fall and serve as a
tray when mealtime urrives. As a
ATTACHED TO ORDINARY CIIAIIt.
very convenient substitute for the com
mon high chair Alfred 11. Hunting of
Iron Mountuin, Mich., has designed the
arrangement shown In the drawing. As
will be seen, this device is intended for
use in connection with an ordinary din
ing chair and does not Interfere in any
way with the use of the latter by
grown persons, while the seat can be
folded in small compass when not need
ed for the child. The frame consists of
two vertical posts of sufficient length
to extend from the upper to the lower
crossplcce of the chair back, with a
seat pivoted between the posts and sup
ported at the outer ends by two chains.
In addition there is a tray having ex
tension braces at the sides for insertion
in brackets on the uprights, supported
by two vertical posts pivoted to the
front of the seat. By detaching the
braces from the brackets and allowing
the tray to tilt forward and down the
seat is exposed to make It an easy mat
ter to place the child in position or lift
it out. The device is appended on the
cliair by means of two hooks, which
screw into the posts, and their adjust
ment raises the seat to the required
height. To fold the seut the tray is al
lowed to tilt dowu and the seat is lift
ed ugainst the posts, when the tray is
folded back 011 the underside of the
seat, making a perfectly flat package
and leaving the chair for common use.
VlMlble Ice.
Modern kitchens offer the very best
proof that neatness and cleanliness are
catered to in a thoroughly satisfactory
manner nowadays. The housekeeper
of the present day has no faith in
things unseen. Both manufacturers
and inventors And it to their interest
to be governed by this new dispensa
tion In domestic matters. Their latest
achievement has done away with the
old time metal water cooler by supply
ing the same receptacle in glass and in
two sizes. The larger one is a ten gal
lon cylinder In the center of which is a
tin cylinder for holding ice, so that the
water, once filtered, cannot be con
taminated by any impurities in the ice.
A smaller live gallon cylinder of glass
contains a glass case for the ice, which
Is far more attractive to the eye, but
Is much more liable to breakage than
the metal one when carelessly handled.
Both of these water coolers cost $lO
tuck.

to let the hogs be pastured In the or
chard, this should only be done after

Quince roots ure small and near the
surface and therefore should be pro
tected against the extreme heat und
cold by mulching. The trees also need
pruning like any other fruit tree.

AUTOMOBILE SONG.
Ah. this is the life that I choose!
To thunder along In the rut
Mid the drip of tho dirty bluck screws
And the stench of the greaso soaked

Mid the cries of the victims I cut.
Kill, mangle, disfigure and bruise;
Mid the Jar and the rapturous glut
And the drip and the smell and the ooze!
Ha, ha! 'Tls the llfo I enjoy.
One more! Hear his agony wild!
Bump! That wus only a boy.
Scrunch! Father, mother or child?
Oh, see how my victims are piled.
Such pleasure my senses will cloy!
Just hear how I'm cursed and reviled.
On, onward, my death dealing toy!
