To the Lawyers of Pennsylvania
Irrespective of political affilia
tions we, as members of the bar of
Philadelphia, knowing Judge von
Moschslsker as a man, as a lawyer
and as a judge, in view of his
nomination for the office of asso
ciate justice oi the supreme court
of Pennsylvania, desire to express
to the profession throughout the
commonwealth, the opinion enter
tained, we believe, by this bar gen
erally of his entire fitness for that
high office.
Intelligent by nature, a close stu
dent, fond of research, with an
acute, alert and discriminating
mind, with an unusually retentive
memory and wide experience in
legal and other affairs, he is quick
to comprehend, though deliberate
In the maturing of hi Judgment.
He combine with knowledge of
the law, keen logic, sound Judg
ment and clear, forcible expres
sion. During his six year of service
upon the common plea bench of
this county h has displayed thor
ough conscientiousness, great In
dustry and capacity for work, unit
ed with absolute fearlessness, free
dom from narrowness or prejudice
and the ability to dispatch legal
bustneas In the most-practical way.
Six reversals, with almost 400
written opinion delivered, Is a re
markable record, and testifies most
strongly to his accuracy and the
thoroughness of his grasp of facta
and law.
Judge von Moschslsker has the
esteem and good will of this bar
and this community as a self-reliant
and courageous man, aa a good
cltlxen and an able, considerate
Judge.
- Judge Von Moschxlsker's Strength.
The nomination of Judge von Mosch
slsker has met with popular support,
and hi candidacy has been growing
stronger avery day since the Republi
cs convention adjourned.
The closer his record on the com
zooa plea bench 1 studied, the better
. are his admirable qualities appreciate
ed. Known aa the "writing Judge'
among his colleagues on the bench.
Judge von Moschslsker hss long been
looked upon aa one of the most Indus
trious and painstaking Jurists In the
state. He delights In delving Into his
law books and frequently work way
Into the night preparing his opinions,
which are models of thought and ac
curacy of expression, and which form
an Important part of the Jurisprudence
of recent ysars.
Judge von--Moschslsker has not been

node and ever maintained by the peo

The Democratic candidate seems to

his cause by thrusting aside what hsa

P0R1AKCE OF TARIFF ISSUE

dorsement ef Payne Bill and Silence
the Western Tariff Tinkers.
No one better than Boles Penrose
realties the Importance of the cam
paign now under way In Pennsylvania.
No one better than Boies Penrose
appreciates the far-reaching effect of
a sweeping Republican victory In this
state upon national conditions and na
tional politics, and no one better than
he understands how a reduced Repub
lican vote and a reduced Republican
majority would be heralded aa a lack
of confidence In the policy of protec
tion which Pennsylvania's representa
tives In Washington so steadfastly
championed at the recent session of
congress.
Senator Penrose Is therefore taking
an unusually active part In the pres
ent state campaign.
He has made a number of speeches
and he Is giving much time to assist
ing the Republican state organisation
In the effort to get a large Republican
vote to the polls on Nov. I. He attend
ed the convention of the State League
of Republican clubs at A 1 toon a, has
made several speeches In Philadelphia,
expects to visit Pittsburg to address
a meeting on Oct 28, and he will then
return to Philadelphia to participate
In the big Republican rally arranged
by the Republican Business Hen's as
sociation, which Is to be held In Ham
merfiteln's Opera House, the great tern
pleof music In the Quaker City, .which
for the first time will be used for a po
litical gathering. It was only due to
the prominence of the members of the
Business Men's association and the In
terest of the merchants and manufact
urers of the city In the success of the
Republican ticket that the opera house
was secured.
Great Tribute to Penrose.
Senator Penrose has missed no op
portunity to emphasise the Importance
of the tariff situation to Penney Ira
nians. He has Just been the recipient
of on of the greatest testimonial.
ever given an American statesman.
The observation of "Penrose day in
the textile district known as Kensing
ton was an event in the history of
Philadelphia. The senior United States
senator accepted Invitations to visit a
number of Industrial plants, and he
was given ovations at every place he
stopped by thousands of mill workers,
as well as the proprietors of the vari
ous establishments. In recognition of
his services tn protecting those inter
ests in the framing of the Payne tariff
bill Flags were flying from the homes
of many of the wage earners In the
mill district and the factories were
gaily decked with bunting. ' At each
stopping place men and women assem
bled, and after listening to a short ad
dress from him upon the subject of
the tariff " and the benefits that Lave
been derived from protection, they
cheered the senator lustily. Employes,
both men and women, made speeches
thanking htm on behalf of their col
leagues.
In the evening of the same day over
five hundred representative manufact

the Union, assembled at the Bellevue

The demand for jet Is so great that
the supply Is entirely Inadequate aad
all the Jet In this country ha b
bought up for manlhs to come. The
beet Jet comes from Franc and moat
of the novelties are made over there.
Just at present all these novelt.e.
from shoe buckles to earrings and col
lar studs, are Immensely sought after.
With black and white gowns, which
ar to be more popular than aver tbi
year, all the jet ornament are part'
eularly attractive. Naturally, the
blonde are especially taken with the
large Jet barrettes made In beautiful
rut atone and even larger thaa tk
Mary Garden barrett.
The revival of the classic fashions
brought the return of the earring, and
the long jet pendant with a pearl or,
diamond at the top I always distin
guished looking. There are long ropes
ef jet beads In the sparkling cut Jet,
or tbe dull Jet of mourning, and there?
are Jet ornament galore for the hatf
and bonnet, when this Is not made of
bands of Jet and completed with Jet
spangled aigrette.
The tremendous vogue for all th
Imitation Jewelry shows that th fash'
Ion of Louis XV. are well on their
way back. Kor that was the heyday'
Jt paste, and even th great King
himself did not disdain substituting
Imitation diamond for the real la
hi waistcoat buttona when the Inaa
elal pressure was strong.
-Th Louis Qulnse bowknot la
rhlnestone and - past diamond
are set In silver and mad th exact
nape of the antique bowknot which
war worn on th bodice by U
court ladle.
Handsome combination of rhlne
stone and Jet ar seen In ornament
for hats, the brilliancy of the rhlne
stone being enhanced by It sombre
neighbor.
A Jet set is not complete without the.
Jet collar and bracelets which ar th
same wide bracelets wblch were popu
lar about thirty year axo.
Tbe cut Jet brooch I no longer aa?
mblem of mourning but may slmplyT
be worn to give the note ot black
neceasary to one's frock, or th Jetted
ran is carried for the aame purpo.
Purse of Jet and handsome Jet ui
brella . handle, tiaras. La VallUres,
tick pin and bat pin of ail kind
form some of th way In which Jet fc
employed, and wblch make It th moat
popular Jewelry.
