FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 31, .1003.
FOR THE HONOR OF PENNSYLVA
NIA.
Now tor one good, strong, confident
pull all together, and the cause of
clean politics and honest government
will surely triumph. The contest has
been an Inspiration to the upright citi
zenship of the state. The candidates
of the Erie convention have conduct
ed their battle on the highest grounds.
They have never once descended to
untenable positions or resorted to un
worthy methods.
Tlieir appeal has been to the intel
ligence and patriotism of the people;
to their highest and best instincts.
1 They have unselfishly put aside parti
-1 sanship. They have welcomed every
self-respecting ally. They have fear
lessly met every Issue. They have
mightily stirred the public conscience.
The heart of the commonwealth has
been touched to its core. The sanctity
of the fireside has been their theme;
the preservation of public virtue and
honor their motto.
Let there be a touching of elbows at
the polls, a union of the patriotic sen
timent of every community. Inde
pendent Republicans have been shame
fully defrauded of their right to a sep
arate place on the ballot; but they
pan strike directly and effectively at
the common enemy by using either
the Democratic or the Ballot Reform
column. They will thus assert and
vindicate their manhood by a heavier
vote against Qunyism than might have
been cast under other circumstances.
They now have a double duty to per
form, and they should unite to over
whelm the machine and all its works.
Democrats who have upheld the
standard of their faith through storm
and sunshine should work as nover
before and see that every vote Is
brought out. There are more than
600,000 disciples of Jefferson in Penn
sylvania, and every man should answer
the roll call of duty next Tuesday.
Upon them rests the chief responsi
bility. They havo standard-bearers to
be proud of. Let each county vie with
Its neighbor in rolling up majorities
for Pattison, Quthrie and the whole
ticket. Work hard for legislative can
didates. An anti-maclilne victory
herein is essential. A reform gov
ernor should be sustained by honest
law-makers, to the end that the peo
ple may be well served. Push the bat
tle till the last hour, and a great
triumph, we are assured, Is certain.
That big ball the Republicans were
going to roll from Erie to the Dela
ware broke down at the start; typical
of Pennypacker's dismal failure on the
Stump from the beginning to the end.
Look to the legislature. I jet there
be active work in every district for can
didates who will smite the machine
and help to restore decent government
at Harrisburg.
Boodle, the last refuge of political
vlllians, Is the only hope of the ma
chine. Let the conspirators be over
whelmed by the honest voters of Penn
sylvania.
When Guthrie presides in the sen
ate at Harrisburg the political auc
tioneer will go out of business. Brib
ery will become a lost art.
They forced Elkin into the field to
help their beaten candidate and their
last state was worse than their first.
Remember that a full vote and fair
count means a reform victory. Work
till the last hour of the campaign.
Get out the vote —every man within
■pacli, next Tuesday, fur Pattison and
the redemption of Pennsylvania.
LABOR.
A Learned Definition ly a Well
Known Economist.
The term "labor" has become limited
to those who do the manual and me
chanical work of production. It does
not now include .mental energy; it de
fines only physical labor. Mental en
ergy is the prime factor in all material
production. Without the power of di
rection imparted by it capital is inert
and labor is almost powerless. Land
is a tool or an instrument of produc
tion, yielding return in Just propor
tion to the combined forces of labor,
capital and mental energy applied to
its use. Itaw land has no value. Land
attains value only when held In pos
session, occupied and used as a tool
of production. No man is paid or is
entitled to be paid either by the meas
ure or the quality of the work or la
bor which he performs. It matters not
whether his work be for eight hours or
ten hours a day, whether it be manual
or mechanical, whether it be hard or
easy. If no one wants the product of
ills work, he can get 110 pay for it If
he derives food from the soil, clothing
from the fibers, shelter from the for
est he is independent, but if 110 one
wants to buy a part of his product he
can get 110 payment and Is entitled to
none. lie may subsist in such com
fort as ids own labor supplies to him,
but he cannot exchange his product
for money or for goods if 110 one wants
it. It follows that the measure of his
payment, if he gets money or goods in
exchange for his own labor, is the
measure of what he has saved the oth
er man from doing, not what he has
done himself. If the other man can
make more food, more clothing and
better shelter for himself, he will do
it, and the first man may do what he
likes. No man can force another to
work for or to buy of him. He is only
forced by his own necessity.
Now, the cost of a man to the com
munity is what he consumes, what
he and his immediate dependents eat,
drink, wear and use for shelter; his
income In money has nothing to do
with his cost. If he raises everything
for ills own board and clothing he
costs the community nothing. All that
any one gets in or out of life in this
world, in a material and physical sense,
is his board and clothing. When a man
gains a large Income in money what he
spends in wages becomes the means or
medium by which the other man to
whom he pays It gets his board and
clothing. It matters not whether a
man's income is two dollars a day or
an hour or a minute, all that he can
get out of It is the food, clothing and
shelter that he and his family convert
to their own use.—Edward Atkinson.
GRANGERS FOR PATTISON
Prominent Leaders Send Formal As
surance of Their Hearty Support.
Farmers from all over the state,
men prominent in the granges, who
have heretofore taken little part in
politics, are sending to State Chair
man Creasy assurances of their sup
port of Robert E. Pattison for governor.
Chairman Creasy has received the fol
lowing appeal, which is being sent out
to granges by those prominent in their
ranks:
The undersigned, members of the
Grange Patrons of Husbandry, indorse
the candidacy of Robert E. Pattison for
governor, not from any party consid
eration. but because during his former
administrations he showed himself to
be a true friend of the farther and ear
nestly supported the legislation which
we advocate. His opponents have had
the power for 40 years and have con
stantly refused to give relief from un
just taxation, though urged to do so at
every session of the legislature for 20
years past.

I.cariMMl From the Ant*.
A scientist lias discovered that our
idea of the strike as a method of alle
viating our condition originated with
the ants. According to this learned
man, certain kinds of black ants com
pel the little yellow ants to do most of
their work. Once in awhile the little
yellow fellows get discontented and go
011 a strike. When this occurs, the
"blacks," Just like our modern employ
ers, try to force them back to work by
cutting off their food supply—starving
them out, as it were. If that does not
succeed, the black bosses attack the
strikers, not with police or militia, for
they do the fighting themselves, and
try to force the "yellows" back to
work. Failing in this, they make a
raid and get another colony of "yel
lows"—scabs, you might call them,
though they are unwilling ones. If the
newcomers should Join the strikers, the
difficulty ends in the "yellows" escap
ing and founding a colony by them
selves. Should they he whipped, they
return to work, and things run on in
the same old way. The man of sci
ence has not exercised his imaginative!
powers very much, has liq? Typo

A MODERN DRESSER.
One Modeled on the Lines of nn Old
Knitlinli Style.
As the twentieth century marches
on Its strenuous way one of the no
ticeable characteristics of its progress
is the development of taste for the an
tique. particularly in the line of fur
niture and artistic accessories for home
decoration. Not thnt the antique design
is followed in all its detail; it simply
serves as a model, and the product of
modern ingenuity represents the best
of the old .type modified to meet the
requirements and conform to the
standards of the present day.
With the increasing demand for an
tique furniture the decorative possibil-
MODERN DRESSER IN FUMED OAK.
ltles of the old English dresser have
come in for recognition, and examples
are sought after with an eagerness
that would have caused considerable
surprise a few decades ago. Whether
a genuine antique or a modified type,
the dresser is seen at its best In a mod
erate sized room and with furniture
that Is In necord. Under such circum
stances It makes an admirable substi
tute for the higldy ornamented side
board thnt lias been so much in evidence
during the past few years. As a me
dium for the display of a collection of
old pewter or antique china or pewter
ware a dresser modeled on the lines of
the old English household treasure can
hardly be excelled. The modern ex
ample here shown In fumed oak Is one
of the best designs of Its kind obtain
able. The impression of strength and
solidity requisite In a piece of furni
ture of this kind is enhanced by the
stout turned pilasters supporting the
upper and middle shelves and the
hinges and lock plates of hammered
iron. The design is also In keeping
with the tendency toward simplicity
observable in modern taste with re
gard to furniture.
A Culinary Wrinkle.
The up to date housewife Is not on
to all the "culinary wrinkles" if she
does not keep a pot of beef extract in
tier larder and possess the knowledge
of how to use It. It Is a mistaken Idea
that extracts of beef are only of use
in case of sickness. Of course they
are of greatest value then, but they
are also of inestimable value in the or
dinary kitchen work, as the extract
takes the place of meat and soup bones
in soupmaking. supplies the founda
tion for gravies and meat sauces and
also strengthens and flavors stews,
curries and salads. A quarter of a
teaspoonful of the extract to a cup of
boiling water and seasoned with pep
per and salt makes a delicious and
harmless stimulant at all times, and
by adding a thin slice of lemon to the
above and serving in bouillon cups you
have a nice refreshment to offer an
unexpected guest. Serve tills with
plain crackers.
The Business Woman.
The question of women and matri
mony, with nn admixture of business,
seems to a woman writer as a matter
of personal taste on the part of the
man in the case.
Business never unfitted any woman
for matrimony who was originally fit
ted for it. She can go through a busi
ness career without any loss of any
kind. It rests entirely with her, and
she can gain much which will be of
incalculable advantage in making her
life happy and thnt of the man who
gets her. Business broadens her and
gives her common sense or, to be more
polite, more common sense.
A Cracked Mirror.
A clever Brooklynite tried nn In
genious way of concealing a crack in a
handsome mirror which was one of
her treasured family possessions. A
clematis vine was painted 011 the mir
ror, completely concealing the crack.
Drooping from this were white clem
atis blossoms, which were reflected in
the mirror. The effect was charming,
and the decoration gave no suggestion
of being a makeshift.
Window Shades.
In selecting shades for a house the
color of the material of which the
house is built should be considered.
Buff is a safe color, and ail the win
dows should be provided with the
same colored shade. A suitable cur
tain for a hall door is made of heavy
white lace shirred top and bottom 011
a small brass rod. If heavy luce is not
used, such a curtain may bo lined with
thin India silk.
llllllllK ClotllCH.
An experienced laundress says that
the secret of turning out clothes prop
erly "blued" consists in having the
bluing water cold aud the clothes put
into it after being rinsed from water
of the same temperature. Clothes
wrung out of hot water and put into
cold bluing water are apt to emerge
streaked and of a poor color.
To Wn*h Kldprdown.
If you have a garment of eiderdown
that requires washing, make a suds of
lukewarm water and the best laundry
soap. Tut lu the garment and wash
thoroughly, hut do not rub soap on It,
as that causes it to sliriuk in spots.
Tbe best eiderdown does not fade and
will bear frequent washing.
Why Diseases Become Chronic,
Nerve Force Regarded by
Scientists as More Import
ant Than the Blood.
A $4.00 TREATMENT FREE.
The blood was formerly regarded as
the life-giving principle and to its con
dition was attributed all that there was
of health or illness. Now, physiologists
know that nerve force and vitality are
tbe same, and that the constitution,
good or bad, depends upon nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion, sen
sation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of khis subtle energy means
health and vigor; a lack of it causes
general debility, nervous prostration,
premature decline, disease and death.
Nerve force is chiefly generated in the
brain, and therefore In tho treatment
of all lingering diseases tho condition
of the brain centers should bo carefully
considered and treated. One groat
cause of diseases becoming chronic is
that physicians overlook tho fact that
deficiency of nerve force is tho chief
cause of most diseases. Nervous pros
tration is due to lack of nerve force.
Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments
strengthen and invigorate tho nerve
centers. They are the result of twenty
five years' careful study, extensive re
search and remarkable success. They
build up the system by Increasing nerve
force, and have won for Dr. Miles tho
thanks of thousands of sufferers.
Mrs. A. Kronek of Huntington, Ind., was
cured after thirty physicians t'Miled; Mrs. Flora
Grnetor of Bristolville, O, after twenty-two;
Jas. K. Waite, the noted actor, after a score
had pronounced him incurable; Mrs. Frank
Smith of Chicago, after live leading physic
ians had given her up; Mrs. Julius Roister of
Chicago, after teu; Mrs. tt. Parker after six
teen failed.
The treatments are not generally ad
vertised, but every chronic sufferer is
invited to write for Dr. Miles free book
and Examination Chart. $4 00 worth
of treatment especially prepared for
each case will be sent free as a trial.

Health unci Dennty.
It is not so much the amount of food
our appetites crave, but rather the
amount our systems require that is
conducive to health. Overindulgence in
eating and lack of exercise are ruinous
to health and beauty. They produce
all kinds of ills, ekieliy obesity. It is
said that Mine. Pattl walks several
miles each day whether the weather be
favorable or otherwise. This is one of
the secrets of her graceful figure and
youthful appearance. Women who ven
ture out in all kinds of weather are
not so prone to eatch cold, and they
enjoy a happier frame of mind. Fresh
air is one of the vital necessities of
life, and we cannot have too much of
it. Health means so much we should
cultivate every means to attain it. Add
'to it a charming manner and a refined
personality, and you have a woman
who is a source of comfort and Joy.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has a beautiful
summer home at Short Reach, Conn.,
about three miles from New Haven,
says an exchange. Her bungalow,
built upon an eminence of solid rock
and facing twenty miles of sound, is
a sort of temple of worship in that lo
cality and she its presiding goddess.
Her neighbors are welcome at all hours
to come and make her habitation their
own in a most informal manner, but
the one unwritten rule is that If the
hostess is busy at her desk she is not
to be approached conversationally.
Mrs. Wilcox is noted for her remarka
ble concenti'ation of mind. Some of
her best work is done within the sound
of many voices and in the presence of
friends, to all of which she is uncon
scious.
For a Child'* Room.
Wall paper panels are delightful for
a child's room. They are übout 12 by
3G inches and are kliown in broad post
er .designs of life size duck mothers
leading a fuzzy, yellow brood to a
brook, fox terriers pursuing a red and
black rooster and apparently overtak
ing him, and processions of beggars
coming to town. There are also posters
of children going to bed, saying their
prayers, eating their breakfasts or
playing. They are all printed on stout
paper, but unless they are to be framed
it is a good plan to paste them on
cheesecloth or muslin before tacking
them on to the walls. The panels cost
about a dollar each.
CoHtnetlv For the Hnmln.
White wax, one-quarter ouuee; sper
maceti, two and one-half ounces; oil
of sweet almonds, two and one-half
ounces; I'osewater, one and one-half
ounces; attar of roses, one drop. Melt
the wax and spermaceti in a porcelain
kettle. Add the almond oil and heat
slowly. Remove from the stove and
add the rosewater. Re sure to measure
your ingredients exactly, for otherwise
you will find that the cream is not
smooth.
Charncterlntlc of Woman.
How beautiful are the smiles of in
nocence, how endearing the sympa
thies of love, how sweet the solace of
friendship, how lovely the tears of af
fection! These combined are all char
acteristic in woman. They are the
true poetry of humanity—-rich pearls
clustering around the altar of domes
tic happiness.
loed Fruit*.
Fruit is iced by being dipped in tho
beaten white of an egg, then in pow
dered sugar, the operation to be re
pented till the icing is sufficiently
thick. Pears and peaches are delicious
iced. ' Roth should be pared and cut
in halves. Pineapples are sliced and
cut in small pieces.
