Your correspondent had the pleasure
Of trip to South Gibson last week, a
lively little town in the interior. The
chief subject of discussion is the pro-
ject of new electric road from Nichol-
son to Susquehanna, via the Tunkhan-
mock creek, touching about half doz-
en- small towns on the trip. The scheme
is well worthy some enterprising capt.
talists, but who they are or when the
road is to be built is among the mys-
teries. The chief source of amusement
at this interior village was fishing
through the ice, which is daily INDUCED
in as long as the ice and fish hold out.
Large numbers of fine specimens were
hooked" after which the older resi-
dents retire to the hotel and swap
yarns about the fish they caught when
they were young. 1t seems strange
how the stories grow with age. One
old veteran had caught in that same
pond thirteen suckers that just filled
washtub, while another individual re-
lated how, about thirty winters ago, he
had cut hole in the ice about two feet
across and hooked some of the finest
pickerel he had ever looked upon. The
old man said he didn't know just how
much the largest weighed, but to give
us little idea he stated that he pulled
one almost through the hole in the ice
when his hook broke and he would have
lost 1t only its gills caught on each side
Of the hole and it couldn't get its head
back through.

much ''gush' as they expect in a week

seven-story hotels, trolley lines and in
Vulnerable oil refineries and tanks loom
up in the distance, and the people OF
that region are on tip-toe with expect
ancy. A number of new buildings are
under way at Foster, and the business
men you meet are the right sort to
make town thrive.

nrprnLIcAN cALAMirY.

When such men as VIM Mckinley,
the recognized leader of his party, and
aspirant for the high Office of presi-
dent, persist in reiterating n false
statement that has repeatedly been
proven false by the records it is not
much cause for wonder that the par
rot-like whipper-snappers of that
party throughout the country stick to
the same line OF policy. The burden
of McKinley's complaint is that owing
to the fact that the government is in
the control Of Democratic admins
tration, the business of the country
is demoralized and bankrupt. Let's
make single comparison and see IL
the record bears out the assertion;
According TO Bradstreet, a non-par-
tisan compiler OF commercial and
financial data and universally accep-
ted authority on these subjects, says
that the business failures in this coun-
try during the nine months from Jan
nary u Oktober I, of tins year, in
volved $50, To7, O3l of assets, and sllO,-
GA 93l of liabilities, while for the cor
responding period of 1921, during the
very height of the boasted era Of pros
perty under the Republican admins
tration OF President Harrison, the
amounts involved in business failures
were s71.sll, 32O Of assets, and sl3s,.
$40. $40 Of liat ilities.
In other words, the business failures
during the period named under Harri'
son aud Rupublicanism involved up
wards of twenty-eight millions Of dol
lars of liabilities more than under
Cleveland and Democratic control
and that, notwiths tanding the legacy
of business depression and financial
ruin left by the former TO the latter

INSULT TO INJURY.

Like all other protection dema-
gogues, Wm. Mckinley selects from
the one hundred and more articles
placed u9cn the free list by the new
tariff law a few such things as kid
gloves, Havana cigars, brandy, ostrich
feathers, painting and statuary, aud
asks his hearers in his masterly (?)
speeches, in his ironical way, "What
com fort will these reductions give TO
the mechanics and the farmers; what
comfort will they contribute to the
homes OF humble American citizens?''
The question Is a tantalizing insult to
the humble American citizens, whose
poverty is very largely the result Of
the discriminating policy pursued by
the pacty that delights TO honor the
noted Ohioan these many years. Why,
Mr.. Mckinley, would not such luXur-
les as you name crafty the humblest
American citizen, il he could afford to
purchase them, as well as the proud
and naughty? The Democratic party
would bring all the luxuries and com
forts of life within the reach of the
humble American il possible, because
he represents the great majority in
this country. Irony in such cases is
not only cruel-it is a wanton insult
to those he would pretend to serve and
benefit.

WHEN rnroRY rs WRONG.

In his defense of the high tariff
policy that had its accentuation under
the law that bears his name. Governor
NJ, Kinley declares that 1--WE are for a
co per cent tariff because IL furnishes
employment TO mechanics, artisans,
laboring people ia the United States .
We have had CO per cent tariff in
force for the past three years but in.
stead of furnishing employment TO
our people, never in the history Of
this country have so few, compared
with the total number, been employed
or so many idle Theory is alright Il
it works out right; but ii not, as IL
the case H. point, it is all wrong, and
not only wrong but harmful, because
deceptive and misleading.

DOWN Win sooNERIsM.

If the Flynn sooner bill should be-
come law the effect OF 1t would be
give home TO every person who en-
tered upon the lands Of the territory
in violation of law, and deprive as
many honest men OF their homes who
obeyed the law Nor is this all. 1t
would open the doors of the peniten-
tiaries and restore to good citizenship
every sooner who has been convicted
of perjury, and re-invest him with the
possession Of the claim, turning out
the honest settler and law abiding
citizen and depriving him of the fruits
of his labor of months and years in
providing a home and home comforts
for his femily. And not only this, but
il would make mock Of justice, and
be equivalent to the government say
ing TO the sooner; "You have been
sinned against" and to the law-abid-
ing citizen: you and are the sin
ners"
Is the man who would legislate thus
safe man to intrust with the guar
dianship of the interests of the good
people of this territory? Can he be
relied upon to defend the rights of the
citizens against the schemes and
Vaccinations of adventurers and
speeulators? Certainly not. And II
not veto the aspirations of all such
by voting for Joe Wisby, the fearless
champion of the peoples cause, the
cause Of right and law and honesty.
