The Voice of Illinois.

">IlI SECOND influential Re-
publican state to hold It's l9O2
convention was Illinois, one
door west of the starter, In
diana; and its platform. like that
framed ut indianapolis recently, rings
firm and true. Here is one plank In
particular that merits national notice.
1--WE commend the brilliant and
patriotic services of our army and
navy in maintaining the dignity
and honor of our flag on the seas
and in our foreign possessions, and
we condemn the malignant attacks
now being made upon our soldiers
and sailors"
The present governor of Illinois, Rich
in 'Gi-5; and history merely repeats in
this new condemnation of unpatriotic
back-fring upon the boys on the fight
ing line. ....,......,
Here is. another plank significant
enough to be emphnsized: I'VE con-
demn all conspiracies and combinations
to restrict business. to create monop-
olies, to limit production or to control
prices. and favor such legislation as
will effectiullly restrain and prevent all
such abuses. protect and promote COM
petition ana secure the rights of pro-
ducers. laborers and all who are en-
gagged in industry and commerce, ana
we approve and commend the efforts
of President Roosevelt to enforce the
laws against illegal combinations in
restraint of trade, and pledge him our
hearty support in all his efforts to pre-.
vent the people from oppressive COM
binations of capital" The meat trust,
with its headquarters in Chicago, will
derive small comfort from this.
In addition to these clarion tones,
prot is approved and an express
sion in favor of a reciprocal trade
treaty with cuba is voiced. Although
brief, the Illinois platform is full of
meat and merit 1t heralds /; winning
fight by an undivided party.

tion for an injunction Is said to be- in
course of preparation. 1t will be well
coined. The public is fair enough to
hear both sides. 1t cannot have too
much information on a subject so vital
Ia its welfare.
There is one phase Of the govern
ment's case, however which the pack
crs can hardly have the hardlhood To
deny. That Is the averment that the
combination IN control of the packing
industry has forced from the railroads
rebates and special privileges sufficient
to make competition impracticable.
This Is not healsay. 1t has been adj
mitted by railroad officials under oath:
ana there Is no reason to doubt their
assertion that they are eager TO be re-
lieved from the necessity of being rid
den by the octopus,
This forcing of rebates is the mean
crime in the bill of indictment. Rail-
roads are public institutions enjoying
public franchises and special legal ad-
Nantages conditional upon their per-

Justice, declares that railroads shall
not discriminate as between shippers
seeking an equal service. Were they
to be permitted to discriminate, II power
would rest in them greater than That
of an emperor or c2ar; the power to
say what men should prosper In their
commercial enterprises and what
should not. They could then make and
unmake communities and even states;
and in Il short time the inequalities
which would result from such power
unrestraned in the hands of Il few
would threaten the character If not
the very life of our government.
Yet the meat trust. by reason of the
grip which 1t has acquired upon the
largest item of freight revenue enter
ing into the receipts of most of the
railroads traversing the cattle produce
ing states. have demanded and en-
forced concessions with regard, to inter-
state commerce which not only are
prohibited by law but which IN their
very nature are Outrages upon the pub
liz and in their effect highway rob-

that tl.s kind OF ilagrant violation of
its law was in continuous and boasted
operation, would take no steps to en-
force its mandate and protect the pub

spect of IL single honest man.
No wonder that President Roosevelt
has made up his mind that this sort of
thing must stop.

1\HE ASSERTION is made by
the Philadelphia Record that
a joint debate of asDrants
for the Republican suber-
material nomination. such as was con-
Quoted in Wilkes Barre last week be-
tween Messrs Watres and Elkin, should
also include the slated candidate, Judge
Pennypacker; and our contemporary
with dry humor. adds: "Gn such a joint
debate, while Colonel Watres is elo-
quently supporting the cause of honest
government. and while Attorney Cen
eral Iclkin is defending the right of the
Republican party to make its nomina-
tion for governor free from despotc
dctation,' Judge Pennypacker could eX-
pand his original eulogiun upon Sem
ator Quay and eXpatiate at greater
length upon the merits of the machine
as illustrated in the state and city gov
ernments.'
Uttered by Democratic paper de-
risively, why should not this susges-
tion be considered seriously? The op-
portunity is near to hand. On May 81
Il direct primary election with popular
expression as to gubernatorial candi-
dacies is to be held in Tioga county.
Wutres, F,lllin and Pennypacker have
each registered. The first two have
faced the voters like men and been seen
and measured by the constituents they
would serve. Pennypacker to the great
bulk of Pennsylvanians is an abstrac-
tiOn merely. Not one in II thousand has
ever seen him. Not one in ten thousand
knows what his opinions are on public
questions entering into gubernatorial
work. 1t is known that he is q gentle
lies stock of information ends. Should
he be nominated without further eluci-
dation II marvel of obscurity would be
the consequence.
We have no authority to speak for
either Colonel Watres or Attorney Gem
eral Elkin, but we suspect that they
would welcome the chance to test their
powers in IL friendly contest of oratory
and argument with the PHILADELPHIA
jurist From the manner in which Mr.
Elkin enjoyed the discussion at Wilkes
Barre and in the light of it's effect upon
the primaries, we doubt not that he
would be willing to pay the cost OF
band hire ana hall rent il his two op-
ponents should consent to join him in II
personally conducted tour of the COM
monweallh, with one-night stands in
each county yet 10 elect delegates.

No Need to Be Scared.

%HERE is reason to believe
that more persons are
scared to death than die OF
accident. This community
in a business sense has been in a
state of scare for more than two
years. Strike has followed strike in
such quick succession that those look
ing for excuses to avoid paying their
debts or placing orders have had them
on their tongues end. Yet in reality
the actual damage done to business by
these periodical and now very general
disturbances amongst the laboring
men has been overestimated. In spite
OF strikes, last year was the best bust
ness year that Scranton ever had.
The figures of bank clearings and the
records of the mercantile agencies as
to failures prove this beyond challenge
AS we said, the scare is worse than
the hurt. Our merchants have become
pretty well accustomed to that kind of
scare. or course uncertainty has neces-
sarily interfered with business. mas
much as 1t has interrupted orders and
delayed various plans looking to the
future. But after tomorrow we shall
know just what to expect with regard
to the labor situation in our mines. If
the strike Is withdrawn, prosperity, OF
, course, will take on new life; but if
the worst comes to- the" worst and IL
! fght to the finish is.entered upon there
will be the consolation to business men
gepagally That after: this one period OF
tufFsoil there will BE. industrial peace
and settled foundation for business
for an entire generation.
Strike or no strike, there are about
70 many people in this valley who
must have food to eat. clothes to wear
ssSkd hparious other. .sartiales entering
Into the ihercantfle life OF Dur city.
consequently, II the strike goes ON,
- trade is not going to disappear nor the
stores to become empty. There may
be new adjustments of patronage and
of stock, but the buy
II ing will continue and the volume will
ba very little lightened, at least for
,,lppnths, 1t, therefore, is unnecessary
o,f0rc our merchants to feel discouraged
Aisr pessimistic. II they will keep the
public informed intelligently and regu-
larly of what they have to sell and

lams We're on the trail more than half
the night of parties suspected of being
here for some purpose other than their
health, but, firing of the vain quest, the
bailiff went home.
The policeman, however, sauntered
uptown. On his way back he was
startled by bullet near his head. Then
another which grazed one of his arms,
both shots coming from the grounds of
the Owen Hitchins homestead.
He stood his ground and, seeing three
men in flight, he fired Il shot after them,
with what result he does not know.

Graham farm, was "held up earlier
Sunday night by three men, one of whom
