Unwarranted Foreign interference.

Pennsylvania is duly agitated by
the discovery of her biologists that
the Pelee eruption few days ago
made an effort to raise her off the
earth. She proved too much of lift
at such long distance, but she finds
herself from one to forty feet big her
in the air than before. AT Harris
burg there was an elevation of about
one foot, while near HOMEWORK. in
Chester county, the hoist was forty
feet, six inches. The scientists of
Virginia were stirred up by these
revelations. and they are Mortified to
find the Old Dominion several feet
higher than she deemed herself. 1t
is suspected at Washington that
something has been monkeying with
the foundations of the earth under
the national capital and they have
hired an engineer to take measure
ments. This sort of interference with
the stability of this republic by lit

Kansas dispatches state that the
democratic organization has suddenly
plucked up courage, and will make a
strong fight in at least three congress
sional districts, and has great hopes If
electing three or more congressman.
The Hon. James NJ. Griggs of GeOr-
gia, chairman of the democratic con-
greSsional campaign committee, whJ
has recently visited Kansas, has in
Spired the democratic leaders there
with this new hope and courage.
When Mr.. Griggs first asked the
Kansas leaders to try TO do something
to elect democratic congressman they
answered that effort was useless, as
they had no money to carry on cam
paign, and could raise no funds.
Then Mr.. Griggs smiled benignly
and said that need be no obstacle, as
ample funds would be Forthcoming
for every district where there was the
slightest hope of democratic success.
When asked where these funds
would come from Mr.. Griggs is said to
have dropped hint which made the
Kansas democratic leaders sit up. The
hint was to the effect that the trusts.
which were dissatisfied with the Roos-
eyelt administration, would provide
the sinews of war for the democracy
of bleeding Kansas.
Those who remember how tender
Mr.. Bryan was with the Tammany
ice trust, and with Chairman Jones'
cotton-bale trust, and with various
other trusts whose political principles
are those of the late Jay Gould, will
understand why the Kansas demo-
Gratis are now hopeful and courageous.

Value OF Political Talk.

Shakespeare said, "Good words are
better than bad strokes" and even
that strenuous counselor of well doing,
The Interior, of this city, admits
there is virtue in mere talk of higher
ideals. The Interior contends there
has been in late years an astonishing
gain in the political ideals of the aver
age American; that he has higher
ideas of the duty of citizenship, and
holds himself to stricter account in
the matter of voting.
This change, The Interior, believes,
has been brought about by editorials
in the newspapers criticising and satir-
izing the citizen who will not come
out to vote, by the Christian Endeavor
societies following the lead of the
newspapers, and through the efforts
OF ministers in the pulpit and Jealous
churchmen in the prayer meeting,
urging interest in politics. "Most
tremendous influence of all, "says The
Interior, "the President of the United
States continually breaches the doc

of every citizen for the good conduct

Tax FraternaI Insurance.

The Montgomery county board of
review has decided to test the much
disputed question as to the taxable liza
bility of fraternal insurance orders,
and to that end has listed the total re-
sources of the Tribe of Ben-Hur,
amounting to nearly $3.50, 200. Here
tofore their reserve funds have been
exempted and the order has paid taxes
on less than 100000. The supreme
officers claim that it is a benevolent
institution and that the funds are,
therefore, non-taxable. They will ap-

Rev. DR.. Arthur j. Brown, secre-
tary of the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions, after long visit to
the Philippines, gives his unqualified
approval to the American police there.
He thinks "Aguinaldo's government
would have been as bloody as that of
the sultan of Turkey" and that ''if
Washington had been president at the
end of the nineteenth century he
would have done what the equally
wise, patriotic and Christian William
Mckinley did," Anti-expansionlsts
will not get much comfort out of this.

Senator Vest, reviewing the politi-
cal situation, says the republicans have
had pretty much their own way in
congress and that sit is useless to
protest against the Philippine policy
now. In other words, the time for
making an issue of the Philippine
policy is past. AS to the future the
Missouri senator says: ''If the repub-
licans can continue the high pressure
of the room which has given greater
prices to our manufactures aud farm
ers. and caused an amount Of circula-
ton of money in this country hitherto
unparalleled. they will carry the next
presidential election. - From this it
appears the senator thinks nothing
can save the democratic party, except
a financial revulsion.

The old animus will crop out. An
exchange is angry because DILL has
been passed to pension men who, be-

the Union army because they were

bill an act to encourage desertion.

IndIana's Prosperous Farmers.

The Noblesville Ledger estimates
that the wealth of farmers in Indiana
has increased 500, 900, 600 In the past
year. 1t asserts that, taking all the
products of the farm into c0nsidera-
tion, it is safe to say that the farmers
are receiving annually for such pro-
ducts $4,000, 900 more than they
did in 1896. AS there are 221, 1917
farms in this state this is an average
of 1868 to each farm.
