Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-24
WHY HE CHANGED.

This is the simple story of how John
Smith came to change his party. His
father was a Republican. His grand
father was Whig. John himself had
always voted just as his father did.
From his early youth he had always
evinced an interest in politics. but II
was quiet interest. He didn't 60
much on getting into arguments. He
was always content to believe that the
Republicans were more right than the
Democrats, so he voted a straight Re
publican ticket every time.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-24

John keeps small store in the sub
urbs of large city. He sells grocer
les, oil, candies, stationery for the
school children and deals a little In
meat, especially in the winter time
when it is easier to keep meat than
in the summer
John has noticed of late that his
profits amount practically to nothing
still he does fair amount of business;
he is steady and does not spend his
money e2travagantly, tries to buy
pretty good things for his store, al
though he never buys very much and
he keeps things neat and clean about
his place.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-24

A few months ago John got hold OF
newspaper with some interesting
articles regarding the growth and de-
structiveness of the trusts. His busi-
ness was quiet, he had nothing else to
read so he glanced over the article.
Very soon he became interested and
read them very carefully. AS result
he is in a predicament, is worried con-
siderably. He can no longer accept
the presentment of the Republican
side of the case as he used to. The
other day he read in paper about the
great prosperity throughout the coun-
try, about the enormous amount OF
goods shipped and bought by Uncle
Sam, of the increased amount of busi-
ness being done and of the increase In
the amount of money in circulation.
He does something now that he never
did before, He questions the truth Of
these statements. For instance, he
wants to know where the money goes.
He is not making any; his friends In
business tell him that they are not
making any money. Some years ago
they used to make money and they
used to spend it literally, too, but now
they are forced to play close to the
cushion.

three days later sailed for this port, her
destination. Her passage from Honolulu,
like the first part of the trip, has teen very
slow.
Trouble has followed the schooner to the
very last. The passage from Honolulu
was marked with great gales, which blew
away some Of the sails, and the schooner
was a long time on the way. Upon ar
irving here Captain Perry sailed the Am

ignorance Of the regulations which have
been In force for some months past, and

CANDY FOR THE SOLDIERS. Fifty
tons OF candy have been sent to the
soldiers in the Philippine Islands by
the commissary department of the
army during the last three months
and large amounts to the soldiers in
Cuba and Porto Rico, according to w.
T.. Curtis. This is done upon the ad-
vice Of the medical as well as line Of
iicers OF the army, because it is IL phys
biological fact that in the tropics a
moderate consumption OF confectionery
promotes health and satisfies q natural
and net unhealthy craving of the
stomach. Candy was never furnished
to the United States army before, al
though it is commonly used as q ration
by the British and French troops in
the tropics.
The larger part OF the shipment are
chocolate creams and lemon and other
aCidulated drops, which are hermeti-
caly sealed in onc-pound tins of oval
shape to fit the pocket OF soldiers
uniform. The candy is manufactured
in New York especially for the com
missary department and is little more
than sugar and lemon or lime Juice.
The mixture OF sweets and acids in
that form is not only more grateful to
the palate, but healthful to the stom
ach.

lately said he had recommended to the

tion for the Philippines idcntlcally the
same as that framed by educated Fill
pinOs, which is practically the govern
mental policy outlined by Thomas JEFF
fcrsOn for the government Of the vast
territory acquired by the Louisiana
purchase. President Schurman said
further he was happy to state that
President Mckinley had accepted the
recommendations and was sending out
second commission to put this gov
eminent in operation. " To avoid any
mistake on the subject, said the npea
ker, the constitution drawn up by
Pedro a. Palermo, Aguinaldo's prime
minister in 1898, will be published
alongside with the constitution adopted
by the commission, SO it may be seen
the two arc identical, with only slight
elaboration in the American form

FORESTS TO PREVENT FLOODS. S.-The

lSS9 will probably soon be recalled to
the public by an attempt to reforest a
large portion OF the Conemaugh water-
shed to prevent further damage from
ireshets. The Johnstown Water Com.
pany, which controls 5000 acres of
mountain land, has asked the division
ol forestry to devise q plan by which
the area can be recovered with timber
and the too rapid run-oir Of the rain.
Tall prevented.
The region is peculiarly liable to
ircshets, owing TO lis geological char
aCter and the removal OF It's timber
The now historic catastrophe, which
swept away $4,000 600 In property and
half rs many lives os the battle Of Get
tysnurg, was but an exaggerated in
stance oi many similar floods. This
tendency has been increased by log
ging oil the timber and clearing num-
Grous farms, so that the rainfall flows
quickly from the surface, causing high
water at one time and the drying up OF
springs later
The Johnstown Water Company has
bought up many Of these larHIs and
torn down their buildings, Ind now
wishes to expedite their retIrn to the
forest. The tract is in Il sa 1dstone re-
giOn, much broken, with valleys averag-
ing $50 feet in depth. The timber
consists OF hemlOck, oak, locust and
ash, with some beech and poplar. Tho
openings are from twenty to fifty acres.
