JUDGE PENNYPACKER'3 MEN DACITY, Nothing is to be gained in political controversy through misrepresentation and unfairness. Judge Pennypacker seems to have a different Idea. Briefly and concisely the facts may be stated, and every voter In the state should be acquainted therewith. No public man in the history of Pennsylvania has been noted for greater carefulness and more uniform accuracy in expression concerning public affairs than ex-Gov ernor Pattison. No one has ever been able to show him to be in error upon any material point, and until the pres ent campaign no one attempted this unjust and ungracious task. It seems to be necessary, in the Interest of truth and justice aud political decency, to expose the discreditable and short sighted misconduct of the Quay ma chine candidate for governor. In his speech of acceptance at Read ing Governor Pattison, referring to the abuse of official power, especially at Harrisburg, by the Quay machine and its allies, said: "In every way possible, members of the legislature have been annoyed, held up and pursued by this malign power, always determined to promote selfish interests. Facts might be cited ia connection with appropriation bills almost beyond belief. So gross have these offenses become, there is a just demand for some legal restriction or regulation concerning this matter, making it a penal offense to influence legislators in the manner now practiced at Harrisburg. The very best members of the legislature are at times power less to carry out the will of thefr con stituents, unless they consent, in vio lence of their consciences, to arrange ments and deals with corrupt men who are nothing less than public pirates. During the past 20 years reform meas ures have only been enacted by the courageous union of Indepemlant Re publicans and Democrats, after des perate conflicts with the powers of evil." This truthful arraignment of legis lative crooks was made at the direct suggestion and earnest solicitation of members of the legislature, who had witnessed with indignation the opera tions here referred to, practices which were not In vogue, as Judge Penny packer well knows, during either of the terms of former Governor Pattison. This is an evil of more recent growth, and one which must be met and abol ished, or honest and self-respecting men will refuse to serve as legislators. Every patriotic and right minded citi zen should be glad to co-operate In such a movement and any candidate for public office who, on the contrary, in dulges In pettifogging sneers and groundless criticism, plainly shows his sympathy with political speculators and his readiness to aid them in carrying out their disreputable schemes. In stances have recently been recorded showing how public money has been stolen in the manner alluded to and many more schemes of the same sort would have been carried out had it not been for the resolute opposition of hon est members of the legislature and fear of exposure. It will be observed that the state ment made docs not charge crooked ness nor weakness'upon the part of "ail the members of the legislature" and the officers of public institutions concerned: yet, through garbled quota tions, deliberate suppression and braz en misinterpretation, the Quay mouth piece and apologist for public knavery, has upon four different occasions sought to make this impression, and insincerely charged Governor Pattison with responsibility for what he never said nor intended to say, nor even to suggest. "This is a charge," cried Judge Pennypacker, at Erie, "which af fects tho whole legislature; that the very best members enter into corrupt deals in order to secure appropriations It is a reflection upon the officers and managers of the hundreds of charities all over the state." ~ i There never was a more shameful piece of willful misrepresentation, and any man guilty of it shows himself to be utterly unworthy of public respect and confidence. This incident reveals anew the power of evil association. It shows how a former member of the judiciary will descend to the despicable methods of the quarter sessions shys ter. No unworthy member of the bar ever more grossly insulted his own in telligence upon the bench than has Judge Pennypaclter In thus standing up before the people of Pennsylvania, rattling the chains of his machine bondage, and showing his own pitiable lack of the sentiments and principles which should actuate every honest man. He is so hard pushed in his de fense of Quayism and all that It stands for that he makes an exhibition of himself at the outstart of his hopeless campaign for the governorship, which must bring the blush of shame to his self-respecting friends. FARMERS FOR PATTISON Why They Desire the Election of the Reform Governor. Chairman Creasy, of the Democratic state committee, has received this let ter from J. A. Herr, a life-long Repub lican, member of the state board of agriculture for 23 years, and a promi nent member of the Pennsylvania State Grange: Cedar Springs, Pa., Oct. 5, 1902.—As the senior active member of the Penn sylvania state board of agriculture, I have been in a position to study the actions of the governors of the state relative to our agricultural Interests. I can testify to the great attention and consideration accorded us by Governor Pattison. During the eight years of his administrations he missed but one meeting of the board, and when favor able legislation was enacted it always received his active support and ap proval. During his term of office he gave proper consideration to all the agri cultural organizations of the state, thereby endearing himself to the entire farming community. I am confident that ir elected governor our agricul tural Interests will be given proper consideration and receive generous treatment at his hands. Very truly yours, J. A. HERR. Be Slow to Believe It. There is no better test of purity and true goodness than reluctance to think evil of one's neighbor and absolute In capacity to believe nn evil report übout • good men except upon the most trust worthy testimony. Alas, that this large and lovely charity is so rare! But it is only with those who possess this charity that men accused of sins against society have nn equal chaneo with those accused, under the forms of law, of crime. Every man brought to trial for crime is presumed to bo in nocent until he Is proved to be guilty, but with the world at large every man slandered Is presumed to be guilty un til he proves himself to be Innocent, and even then it takes the liberty of doubting the testimony. Every man who rejoices in scandal thereby adver tises the fact of his own unworthiness, and every man who is pained by It and refuses to bo impressed by it uncon sciously reveals ids own purity. An Early Organist. A Sunday school teacher was im pressing upon the little ones In her class the Btory of the lame beggar who was carried every day to the bcautifnl gate of the temple, and when the apos tles Peter and John went up there they miraculously healed him. The teacher expressed sorrow for the poor man, who could do nothing but sit at the gate and beg. A little hand shot up and a small voice piped out: "He might have got a hand organ." The same teacher asked the little ones to repent the golden text on one occasion when the Sunday school les son was upon the subject of temper ance. Ilere is the version of the text as given by one of them: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby hath everlasting life."—l.ippln cott's Magazine. Til. Greateflt MintaUe. "The mistake of my life," said the reminiscent man, "was when I was selling patent medicines in Russia. One day I attended a review of a crack regiment, and suddenly every man In the ranks began sneezing for all he Was worth. In a trice I had my sam ple case open and was trying to sell the commissary a carload of my anti grip pellets when he rudely informed me that the troops were only hailing with delight the arrival of General Akachoochebedooskl."—Judge.

Socrates. A THRILLING APPEAL Governor Pattison Urges Phlladel phlans to Unite With the Country In Redeeming the State. The Democratic campaign In Phila delphia was opened on Monday even ing with enthusiastic meetings in Ger mantown and Manayunk, where busi ness men and workinginen united in remarkable demonstrations. At the conclusion of his address in German town Governor Pattison said: It has often been said that a larger measure of the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of a commouwealtn is to bo found in the rural regions than in the cities and towns. Whether this claim is well founded or not, so far as Penn sylvania is concerned, the uour is near when the test will Burely be made. I want to say to you tonight, my fellow citizens of Philadelphia, amongst whom my life has been spent since childhood, for more than two score years, save the time that you called me, by your generous confidence and suffrages, to responsible duties else where, that never in the history of our great state has its patriotic citizen ship heyond the borders of this city been so thoroughly aroused as at this time. It has been my privilege, and under the call of the Erie convention — a nomination I did not ask nor seek — my duty the past month to meet and look into the earnest faces of a multi tude of men representing all classes, the farmer, the mechanic, the mer chant, tho laborer, the miner, the pro fessional man, the mill worker and therein I have read an um-ompromlsing determination to overthrow and crush the combined forces of political in iquity nnd official maladministration. There can be no doubt about it, my friends; the issue is now squarely with you. The voters of Pennsylvania to whom I refer thoroughly understand the situation. They cannot be deceiv ed nor led astray. Mightily in earnest, they are looking to you, with anxiety and intensity of desire for your most zealous, courageous and effective co operation. They are more than ready to do their part. Will you do yours? They will come to the polls, on the 4th of Novem ber, a united and invincible host, standing up for that which is right and true, upholding the honor and dig nity of the commonwealth, sustaining its constitution and laws, demanding their faithful, impartial and effective enforcement, to the end that the rights of all the people shall be maintained. Will you do the same? They will roll up a great majority for clean politics and honest government. Will you bravely and loyally meet it by your ballots as freemen worthy the heritage bequeathed by the founder of the city of Penn? They will send you greet ing for the redemption and political regeneration of our long disgraced and enthralled commonwealth. Will you likewise answer it? They will elect a sufficient number of honest and intelli gent members of the legislature, with your co-operation, to repeal vicious legislation and to enact wise and just laws. Will you stand by them in this? Will you join hands with them in this imperatively needed work? I appeal to you In the name of all that you hold nearest and dearest of your rights of citizenship. I appeal to you for the honor and welfare of the great city which we all love. I appeal to you In the interest of your wronged firesides, for the sake of your young men, who must meet the responsibili ties, bear the burdens and undergo the temptations of the future. I appeal to you as honest men, as intelligent men, as patriotic men, not to be blinded by false pleas of partisanship; not to be turned aside from the pathway of duty by the cunning wiles of the alarmed and desperate servants of unscrupulous leaders, who will hesitate at nothing to accomplish their selfish and base purposes. In many ways you have felt the bur dens and realized the bitter fruits of bad government. With a model city charter, you have witnessed the flag rant misuse of official power, the de gradation of the public service, the plundering of the municipality. You know full well how elections have been made a mockery, how your will has been defied, how the ballot box has been debauched. The amazing state ment of the self-blinded candidate of the machine that he knows nothing of these things has met your withering contempt. And you know that the same crimes will be brazenly repeated, unless you pntriotlcally resolve that they shall cease and bravely defend and uphold your inalienable rights. Do not be deterred from the performance of your bounden duty by the sinister threats of political outlaws; do not be kept from the polls through fear of banded criminals. Go straight for ward. as self-respecting, courageous American citizens, determined that this time there shall be an honest election in Philadelphia, and all will be well. Should the expressed will of the peo ple in 66 counties be defeated through the work of a corrupt marhlne here, and your failure to do your part, you would not recover from the disgrace and the shame for a generation. I re joice in the hope and the belief that you will meet the demands of the hour. Four times you have given me your high commission to execute your sovereign will, and I appeal to the record for evidence of the fact that the trust bestowed was sacredly kept, the duties placed upon me faithfully discharged. If you will again do your duty I will do mine at all times and under all circumstances. Judge Pennypacker's Self-Revelation. The Philadelphia North American says: Ex-Judge Pennypacker has made It Impossible for anyone to entertain longer the opinion of his character and motives which was held by all while he was on the bench. To his approval of public crimes which the criminals themselves have not the hardihood to defend he adds denial of the existence of a system of election corruption and fraud so notorious that Quay himself is forced to pretend to deplore it and promise reform. Ex-Judge Pennypacker declares that for thirteen years he has presided with other judges over the counting of votes and seen no evidences of padded lists or stuffed ballot boxes. What he has seen and knows to be the fact is that judges have refused to permit the evi dences of fraud to be presented to them. Moreover, he himself has refused to as sist in preventing fraud by sitting on election days to give legal protection to the ballot box. In short, ex-Judge Pennypacker's reputation for honesty and intelligence Is being torn to shreds by himself. It cannot survive such onslaughts as his franchise and ballot-fraud speeches. His unfitness for the place to which Quay seeks to elevate him is made more conspicuous every time he speaks and the conviction is growing in the minds of good citizens that his retire ment from the bench is matter for con gratulation rather than regret.

Boys who live in seaport towns are sometimes asked to "box the compass." If they can do it quickly and accurate ly, they are flue sailors and may grow up to be the cuptain of a four master. If they miss a point or can only do it slowly, they are landlubbers and will never see blue water. To box the com pass means to name all the points in order Just as fast as you can speak. This Is the way an old down east skip per will rattle It off: North, nor' by east, nor'-nor'east, nor'east by north, northeast, nor'east by east, east-nor' east, east by north, east, east by south, east-sou'east, sou'east by east, sou'east, sou'east by south, sou'-sou'east, sou' by east, south, sou' by west, sou'-sou* west, sou'west by south, sou'west, sou'west by west, west-sou'west, west by south, west, west by north, west-nor'wcst, nor'wcst by west, nor'west, nor'west by north, nor'-nor'weot, nor' by west, north. Can you do it? If a needle is drawn a few times over the ends of a horseshoe magnet, it be comes magnetized. Push sucty a mag netized needle through a small cork. Place the cork in a bowl of water, tak ing pains to see that the cork when it floats on the water will carry the nee dle In a horizontal position or "011 an even keel." Another way is to cut about three inches from a hollow straw (such as is used to suck lemonade) and to push the noodle inside the straw. The straw will float and carry the nee dle. Now observe what happens. The floating needle will slowly swing round till It points north and south. The straw will behave in the same way. Push It in any other direction, and the moment It Is free it swings back again. We do not know who first observed the fact that a floating magnetized nee dle will point to the north. Nor do we know precisely when or where some unknown inventor used this idea to make a compass. All we know is that the Chinese made and used compasses more than 2,000 years ago. When men began, perhaps 10,000 years ago, to sail upon the water, they used marks upon the shore to guide them on their way. Long years after they observed that a certain star kept at all times the same place in the sky, and they used this pole star as a guide iu steering their ships. Today a steam ship starting down the Hudson river for Europe is guided by the pilot, nnd lie uses the buoys, beacons and other guide marks to steer the ship down the bay. Off Sandy Hook he gives up the ship to the captain, who instructs the helmsman to steer northeast by east, cast by north or whatever course he selects, and the helmsman, watching the compass, keeps the ship headed in that direction.—Dallas News. COOKING HINTS. Chocolate Is greatly improved by adding a teaspoonful of strong coffee just before serving. In adding flour to gravies, always use a flour dredger nnd there will be no lumps in the gravy. Some housekeepers vnry tlie flavor of potato salad by boiling the potatoes for it in stock, or, if it Is more convenient, in the soup kettle. In using sour milk the proportion for gingerbread, biscuits, cake or almost any dough or batter is one teaspoon of baking soda to two cups of sour milk. If making a gelatin dessert 011 a hot or a wet day, add a little more gelatin than the recipe requires, half as much again if you wish to mold fruit into the jelly. Eggs a la rnnigote is made by boil ing eggs three and a half minutes, roll In Lenten egg and tine bread crumbs, fry in deep fat; when brown, drain on paper, garnish with parsley and serve with ranigote sauce. To make a small shortcake take a pint of pastry flour, rub in lard the size of an egg, teaspoonful cream of tartar, half teaspoonful soda, salt, and mix with sweet milk. Bake in quick oveu. split and butter and add fruit. Moral Suasion anil a Strap. "She seems to have abandoned her moral suasion ideas relative to the training of children." "She lias?" "How did it happen?" "Well, I was largely instrumental in bringing about the change. You see, she has no children of her own, and I grew weary of her constant preaching and theorizing, so 1 loaned her our Wil lie." "Loaned her your boy?" "Precisely. She was to have him a week ou lier solemn promise to conflne herself entirely to moral suasion." "Did she keep her promise?" "She did, but at the expiration of the week she came to me with tears In her eyes and pleaded for permission to whale him just once."—New York Mail and Express.
