AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE.
Nj Culbertson led off by stating that a
government was made for its people
America was made for its people and not
for the English. Touching on the tariff, he
said that its necessity was seen by our fore
fathers. They gave a zest by it to our in
fantile industries. Referring to our early
legislation on the tariff subject, he said that
when free trade legislation was enacted a
decline in this country followed. When q
protective tariff was put in force prosperity
came, and when it was followed by free
trade there was a revulsion. We prosper,
be said, under high and protective tariff

Republicans and StraightoRts Make Charges
Against Each Other.
If Straightout Republican and Repub-
lican headquarters were connected by a
speaking tube that would convey all the
sounds uttered in each, there would soon be
a hand-to-hand battle on Diamond alley
between the leaders of the two parties. One
Of the reports sent out by the Straighouts
yesterday was that at the Republican Com
mittee meeting in the afternoon only two
members beside those holding city posi-
tions were present. Chairman Gripp did
not think the assertion of enough import
ance to deny.
At Republican headquarters it was stated
by a visiting Republican that Arch H.
Rowand and John Robb, leaders in the
straightout movement had engaged in a little
war during the day over a belief held by
Mr.. Robb that Rowand is using his efforts
to have Judge Fetterman elected at the
sacrifice of the rest of the ticket Robb is
partner of candidate Fitzsimmons and it
was stated that he had told Rowand to stop
trading or be branded as traitor. When
asked about the story Mr.. Rowand made a
positive denial

The Duquesne Branch VIII Formally Open
to the Public To-Morrow.
Williamsburg was congratulating itself
yesterday. 1t was the advent of traction
car on the Duquesne road which caused all
the happy feeling. A number OF cars were
run from East Liberty to Williamsburg sue
cessfully. and the folk of the bustling
suburb graciously took off their hats in
honor of the occasion.
The branch road will be formally opened
to the public on Monday. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad charges Is cents for trip
ticket to Pittsburg, while the Duquesne
only asks 8. A large patronage is antici-
pated, owing to the frequency of the cars
passing Property along the line has
enhanced in value, and corner lots have
taken jump in price like mushrooms on a
dewy morning.

PLENTY OF PLACES TO WORSHIP.
II Churches Are an Indication Pittsburl
Is Not Degeneratfng.


Some pessimists say that godlessness has
greatly increased in Pittsburg in these
latter DAYS, but it would seem that compar-
ing the present with 76 years ago, the demor-
aligation, if it really exists to such an alarm
ing extent as stated, cannot be ascribed to q
lack off places for worship. In 1915 there
were eight places of worship to 5000 in
habitants. At present there are 293
churches, halls, etc., where religious ser
vices are held to population OF 400, 600 In
round numbers, including, of course, Ale
ghenv City. This is not so many churches
in proportion to population as at the former
date, but some of the present church
structures are sufficiently capacious to hold
one-third of the population of 1915. There
wasn't so much choice then as now, the only
organizations known being Presbyterian,
Methodist, Catholic and German Lutheran.
II this menu did not satisfy the religiouG
palate of that day it was forced to hunger.
The churches of 1916 were Protestant
Episcopal, junction of Wood and Liberty
streets, Rev. John Taylor, pastor; First
Presbyterian, Wood street, same location as
at present, Rev. Francis Heron, pastor;
Second Presbyterian, northwest corner Of
Diamond alley and Smithfeld street, Rev.
Thomas Hunt, pastor; Roman Catholic
Chapel, upper end of Liberty street"
Rev. William O'Brien, pastor; Seeeders,
north of Seventh and east of Liberty street,
Rev. Robert Bruce, pastor; Covenanters
(now Reformed Presbyterians); adjoining
Seceders, Rev. John Black, pastor; Metho-
dists, north side of Front street, between
Wood and Smithfeld street, and German
Lutheran, Smithfeld street above Fifth
auenue, Rev. Jacob Schnee, pastor
Unitarians, Universslists, Hebrews, Lat
ter Day Saints and several other denomina-
tions, now strong and influential, had not
then secured foothold in Pittsburg.

on sTRAIGHToUT GROUND.
Republicans Hold q Big Mass Meeting at
Tarentum.

The Republicans last night invaded the
ground claimed by the Strsightouts and
held rousing meeting at Tarentum. Gen
eral Miles, Ex-Auditor of the State, and
District Attorney Burleigh were the speak
ers. Gen. Miles stated that it is an impor-
tant election on account of the effect it
woulo have on national affairs. He claimed
the record of the Republicans is of the best
and that they are not responsible for the
action of any one man who happened to be
identified with the party.
Mr.. Burleigh confined his speech to local
topics. He said there are always inde-
pendent parties springing up, but that his
tory proves the Republican and Democratic
organizations to be the only ones estab-
lished on a solid foundation. Referring to
the Judges who are candidates for election,
he said they were men of such good char
aCter that even the organ of the Straight
outs admitted their capabilities. He saw
no reason for leaving the established parties.

want to make too much money out of the
money they invest This years Exposition
was not so good as last for this reason. 1t
was not advertised enough. Then they did
not have the attractions.
'1t would be good deal better if the
management would spend more money in
iudicious advertising and securing of some
good attractions. Even $40, 900 is too much
to make out of the Exposition. They
should give the patrons the worth of their
money. 1t would be better all around if
they would spend $4,000 in advertising
and the securing of attractions even if they
only take in 5000. The people would
then get the worth of their money and the
management would get fair profit.
