THE SUPREME ISSUES
Guthrie On the Interest Of the Fireslcle
In Honest Government.

In one of his speeches in Phiadel-
phia. Mr.. Guthrie, Democratic candi-
date for lieutenant governor, said:
There is no other part of the COM
monwealth where the wrongs of bad
government fall so heavily as on the
city. There is no possibility of growth
and progress unless the resources of
the city are husbanded and used for
pubic advantage. In no place Is evil
effect felt so quickly if no public funds
be diverted to private profit.
II the city Is to be what 1t should
be all the public resources must be
husbanded and used exclusively for
public good. Every dollar improperly
diverted is money stolen from the man
who labors in any station. public
franchise diverted to private profit is
as though 1t were money stolen from
the treasury.
The vices Of ring rule are so many
that | have not time to recount them
here. The greatest wrongs committed
by the machine are those against the
sovereignty of the people. Your state
is but the front yard of your homes,
and your homes are your castles. at the
firesides of which gather all that are
nearest and dearest to you. If you
would have the fireside safe you must
have the front yard safe, too.
The distinguished candidate for gov
ernor on the machine ticket says that
the matters raised by us in this cam
paign are of small moment, narrow and
mean. Oh, that any one should say
that the sanctity of the fireside Is
thing small and mean! The powers
OF the state government are those that
come right to the fireside. These are
not narrow and small and mean.
1t is to the state you must look for
your privileges, protection and safety.
1t Is the state which gives us police
protection. One might suppose from
the remarks of the distinguished can
didate that he does not think the duty
OF the police to be your protection, but
the protection of dives and policy
shops.
We have permitted the building up
of machine system more debasing
and destructive to the liberties of our
country than the African slavery. The
machine sends men to the legislature
not the people. In the whole history
of Republican government there has
never been known a case where an Of
flee has been filched for an honest pur-
pose.
The distinguished jurist says the
fairly represents the virtue and intelli-
gence of its people-tnat they who
speak of its wrongs are slandering it's
fair name. Such a statement itself
casts a stigma upon the people.
Some men may live in such cloud
of history, not even history, but just
petty family incidents, that they lose
all touch with things Of the world.
The men who live in the world know
that these things of which we speak
are known to the citizens Of Pennsyl-
vania. Let us free our state from this.
We have the opportunity now. The
people are aroused as they never have
been before. Our state must be the
home of freemen, worthy to be such.

How It Looks In sohuyIklll.


The Pottsville Chronicle has the fol.
lowing:
The large independent Republican
vote which beyond doubt Will be polled
for Pattison is likely to have a bad eff
feet upon the Republican county, SEN
atorial and legislative tickets and will
be the means of electing the entire
Democratic ticket by majorities rang
ing anywhere from 500 to $500. II
the election were held tomorrow the
Republican party would be showed un-
der by the mightiest majorities ever
recorded in this county at any election.
That the Republican party is up
against it in regard to the big strike
is evident TO all who are witnessing
the franctic endeavors of the Republic
can politicians to bring 1t to a settle
ment. We all know that the RsRubli-
can party is entirely responsible for
the condition which makes this strike
possible or necessary. This Is one of
the real reasons why the large indepen-
dent vote is going to be cast for the
entire Democratic ticket in Schuylkill
county on the 4th of next month. The
other reason is that the independent
Republicans cannot vote for the candi-
dates of party controlled by Mr..
Quay. The dose even at a distance
nauseates men who wish to do their
own thinking. They to man wfll
vote the Democratic ticket, and the
Republican ticket will be buried out of
sight on election day.

JUMP ED ABOUT
Until He Found the Right Foot

What a hades some people go
through because their food Ices not
supply the right kind of nourishment
to the body. Take the following for
example.
A gentleman in Baltimore says:
About two years ago | began to ex-
perience a peculiar depression occa-
sionally with pains in the back part of
my head m down along the spine.
Gradually my eyesight began to fail
and my memory grew poor. A general
nervousness set in. | used all the will
power | could command to help myself
but was forced to give up a good posi-
ton and seek the advice OF the family
doctor. He said neur-asthenia and sent
me to a great nerve specialist. So for
four months | was massaged and dosed
with medicine, but all to no benefit;
then | went to New York and consult
ed DIR. - He sent me to another
great specialist, and he in turn sent
me to = Sanatarium where |
stayed for a long time.
1T was the same old story. | was
dosed with medicine and massaged
and bathed. Finally | left there and
went to another specialist who told me
| would only live a few months. This
rather frightened NE ana L paced my
self under DR.. -. He said h stom-
ach was at fault and probably | had
not been given the right kind of food.
He put me on a certain line of treat
ment and insisted that use three or
four te~aspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts each
meal. | was under his care for sew
eral months. | steadily improved un.
til now | am fully restored to both
mental and bodily vigor.
He explained to me that Grape
Nuts contains a goodly portion of phos-
plate of potash, a nerve and brain
food, and that the food being partially
digested the system could make use OF
il easily. At any rate | got well and
both the doctor and myself know that
Grape-Nuts made 1t possible.
Il sincerely believe that practically
all of our nervous troubles are caused
by imperfect nourishment. Ii was for
tunate for me that | could get such {
food as Grape-Nuts. You can S this

charge, but Jesse Rascoe is just the
