Of i'll luck.
Considering the great array Of
evil geniuses turning Juniordom
wrong-side-to for very mischief, it
seems Juniors themselves were in
great measure to blame for their
ill-luck. Altogether disappoint-
ments were many and bitter,
threatened illness caused irritation,
and the weather was often to
blame, many Juniors were extreme
ly careless, and some were just
naturally contrary.
No matter what the cause, as a.
rule, Juniors felt very much
abused,' and attributed their ILL
luck. to such reasons as these:
Changing a garment once put on;
Friday and the thirteenth of the
month; ill-luck before seven o'clock,
which meant misfortune all day;
haste makes waste; TROUBLES
never come singly'; cit never rains
but it pours'; broken mirrors and

NJ 1GHT was drawing near and
~ the air was very chilly. "There

to myself. was standing by the
edge of a forest. Looking up sud-
denly, I saw a small figure with a
pail in his hand, running as fast
as his small legs could carry him.
He dived into the forest, and I de-
te-mined to find out who this
dwarf was, so I followed.
Suddenly I heard a great COM
motion; the trees seemed to be
waving their branches for joy.
"Hurrah!' said one, now I will
get a bright new Dress" Hurry -
said another, I'VE are all waiting"
I looked among the branches of the
tree who had first spoken, and saw
there the little man.. He had red,
yellow and orange paint, and
seemed to be very busily splashing
away at the leaves. making them
a most beautiful hue. It was not
until I felt very cold that it sud-
denly dawned upon me that this
weird man was the renowned Jack

tree, he started to climb up a tall

We have heretofore quoted from
Mr.. Ikeler's speech on the Franchise
Bill, but will make room for one
more extract which may be found on
page 1867 of the Legislative Record.
But, as | said before | cannot hope to
convince you. Logic, reason, the law the
constitution, even the truth ITSELF is lost
upon this floor. An ancient prophet OF
issarel once used strong language when
he said 'We have made covenant with
death, and with hell we are at an agree
ment." OF course would not dare apply
those words to this body; but temptation
do sometimes press a man. | am glad you
have reserved this measure TO almost the
last. That is fitting and final climax to
all of our outrageous work. With the
passage of this bill you may well 90 back
to your homes, for beyond the wickedness
of your present action there is no iniquity
under Gods heaven possible of accom-
plishment."
Notwithstanding this severe con-
domination of the Franchise Bill
and in opposition to his party lead
er; E. G.. Rogers voted for it
If he believed his party leaders
were wrong, why did he not put his
reasons upon the record? Or fail
ing in that why did he not explain
his action to the Democratic county
convention? Or, failing in that,
why not publish his reason NOW
over his own signature?
If his vote was not honest there
is no excuse for him.
Mr.. Rogers, it was the Democratic
Representative Hon. FRED TAYLOR
KELLER, of Columbia county, (who
has served four terms as City Solic-
itor of Bloomsbury, not the Editor
of the News Item, who said, "With
the passage of this bill you may
well go back to your home, for be-
yond the wickedness of your pres
ent action there is no iniquity
under Gods heaven possible of ac-
complishment."
Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1902-10-30

In another place we print in par
allel columns showing what Rogers
received and what he did for his pay.
But he did more than is shown at
page 6232 of the record.
He voted against the bill to pre-
vent pollution of the streams. This
bill was directly in the interest of
Sullivan county for it would have
prevented the flow Of filth from the
tannertes.
He voted to increase the number
of employees at Harrisburg, making
a useless and unnecessary expendi-
ture of public money. He must have
had reason for this vote, what it
was we do not know, nor do we
think he is apt to tell.
He voted for the passage of the
Franchise Bills after being at first
opposed to them. His party was
fighting these bills, they asserted
money was being used to pass them.
In the face of all this, he changed
his mind and voted for the bills.
Guthrie and other Democrats say
bribery was used to pass these bills
and that any democrat who voted
for them has forfeited public conf
dence. This vote Mr.. Rogers has
never explained although for weeks
we have called upon him and his
master, Scouten, to tell us who he
saw and what was said to him to
make him change his mind.
In addition to all this Rogers was
absent and not voting on the final
passage of $50 bills, as well as absent
or not voting on 70 other votes of
the House. 1t is hard to believe
this can be true, but it is a fact as
proven by affidavits in another col
umn. Rogers was only absent from
Harrisburg one day, but he took so
little interest in legislation that he
was either out of the House or did
not vote. Some of these measures
were of great importance to Sullivan
county. Some weeks ago we print
ed the list of bills and the reader can
easily pick out measures on which
we would expect our member to
vote. In conclusion it seems that
Mr.. Rogers was too lazy or too care
less to be present and vote the great
er part of the time, that when he
did vote it was against the interest
of his own people or in favor of cor
porations on bills which his fellow
democrats say had money in them.
This record made by Mr.. Rogers
is not ii good record, it is bad rec
ord. TO be continually out of the
House, to vote against Sullivan
County's interest, to vote for corpor-
alton measures which it is said had
Doodle behind them, is certainly not
what our people expected of him.
He is clearly condemned by his own
actions and has no claim upon Dem
ocrats for their votes. We predict
he will be defeated by a substantial
majority.

campaign is that Mr.. Rogers has
said to several voters that if he was
elected it would make the taxes of
the farmers lower. He did not say
how. No one knows how. Mr..
Rogers could not reduce the taxes on
his "portable" C?) saw mill (Which
has stood in the same place for 20
years. for the reason that "there aint
no taxes" on that mill, and there
havn't been any since he swore them
off many years ago.
Mr.. Rogers neglect to be pres
ent and vote "yea" on the final pas
sage of the bill to compel the semi
monthly payment of wages to wage
earners was one of the most unfor-
t unate of his acts-that is if he would
have voted "yea'' if present. This
bill fixed penalty for the neglect or
refusal of corporations to pay twice u
month and would have been of great
benefit to all wage earners. 1t was
lost on final passage because the 10T
votes required by the constitution
were not obtained, only 81 votes be-

article from a Harrisburg CORES
pondent, which has particular
interest to Sullivan county voters:
"The State Legislative Board

Godcharles { Rep. for Congress in

was endorsed for Governor because
of the forty members present,
about thirty were democrats and
the majority outvoted the others. .
This endorsement coming from the
source it does is highly compliment
tary to Mr.. Godcharles. This is
positive proof that our worthy can
didate is a friend to labor and is
working for their interests. The
above endorsements are scarcely
but one-half of those running for
office that served in the last Legis-
lature, our own member f. G. Rog-
ers not being numbered with them.
This committee, of which majority
were democrats, did not consider
party lines and were conservative in
their endorsements, taking only
those whom they were satisfied
could be depended upon and in
whom the utmost confidence can be
imposed. Hon. Fred. A. Godchar-
les is the man to send to Washing

Scouten backs water on Rogers
falling to vote on 255 measures by
saying he served on four committees,
Forestry, Labor and Industry, Pub
lie Roads and Centennial. 1t may be
worth while seeing how well Mr.
Rogers looked after his committee
work. He is reported absent and
not voting on final passage OF:

SO much for his interest in the
Road Committee work.
There only remains his Centennial
Committee. We have looked
through the index of the House and
could find no mention of any legis-
Iation on the subject. Centennial
affairs in Pennsylvani l. in 1901 cut
no figure. The fact that Mr.. Rogers
is marked absent and not voting on
the bills above named shows that he
neglected his Committee work as
well as his duties as member of the
House. 1t is no answer to say he
may have been present for if he was
present and neglected to vote on
such important measures as those
above named he might as well been
at home. The truth must be that
Rogers belonged to a Committee not
named by the Speaker and which
held its sessions down town.
