TAKEN TO THE PEN.

Sheriff Knorr and his assistants
John Watson, Frank P. Davis. Hurley
Angle and Alan Rarig escorted SIX
convic,s to the Eastern Penitentiary
on Friday.
Rhone and Murdock, the two high
way robbers, will have three years to
repent for their misdoing Neither the
fact that they were on their way to
spend an extended period at haid
labor, nor the serious other charge,
which they will have to face, that of
murder, for which they are wanted at
Wilkes Barre, had any apparent effect
on them, while enrouie to the
Penitenuary. They were lively and
jovial, Mr.. Watson informs US. and
twitted and chided one another all
the way down. They did, however,
display some interest when the news
boy passed through the train with the
paper. They bought three copies of
the Wilkes Barre Record, and read
very carefully an article it contained
on the description of the men wanted
for the murder of a man by the name
of Bal,es, at Wilkes. Barre, early in
the morning OF June 9th. After read
ing the article, they conversed in
subdued tones for few minutes,
folded the paper, and appeared as
tovial as ever.
The other convicts were Court
right and Chamberlain, sentenced to
two years each for the theft of a sample
cigar case from Exchange Hotel, and
Boyd and Miner, sentenced to three
years each for highway robbery.
Never before has the number taken to
the Pententiary at one time been as
large as on this occasion.

AN EXTRAORDINARY ENGAGEMENT

1t is fact worthy of note that
Thomas Hardy's Tess of the
D'Ubervilles" which is to be seen
at the Grand Opera House on Sat-
urday evening, is one Of the very
few English novels that has been
translated into French. In fact,
outside of Dickens and a very few
Of Brete Harte's, no English
novels have been translated into
that language. The French critics,
in thus honoring Mr.. Hardy among
English authors, acknowledge his
masterly, his marvellous insight into
human character, and his beautiful
diction.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
OF H. 0. Patton Of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. 20, 'o3.
CHAs. II. JONES, State Chairman
DEAN S1R:-As promised l here.
with transmit formal acceptance OF
the nomination for state treasurer,
as rendered by the Prohibition state
! convention at Gettysburg, June II,
1908. Thanking the delegates for
the honor conferred upon me
pledge myself if elected to perform
duties of the office with fidelity to
the interests of the public. ! appeal
for the support of the people Oh the
following:
FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES.
Government is instituted for the
protection and welfare OF the people.
Its true function is to prevent wrongs
rather than to seek remedies. On
this ground we base the policy of
prohibition as applied TO the liquor
traffic, since that traffic is destruct
i've of the peoples broadest and
deepest iuteiests-fnancially, NOR
ally, socially and politically.
MORAL INCUBUS.
For the people through their
government TO tax or license the
liquor business is to sell, for price,
the privilege to debase, 10 rob, to
plunder, to kill. Herein lies moral
incubus upon our Christian civilza-
ton, which must be removed before
we can reach high moral standard
in church or state.
LOGICAL CONTRADICTION.
From a moral and patriotic stand
point the government by upholding
the liquor traffic places in a contra
dictory attitude. for while declaring
its purpose to provide for its own
degeneracy, since the traffic pro-
duces ignorant and debauched vot.
ers, constituencies legislators and
weak executives; at the same time
it is the most prolific source of the
very conditions which government
is designed 10 prevent-disorder,
crime, pauperism, burdensome tax
es, individual, social and political
debasement.
Herein lies generic politics. Who
can successfully assail the position
OF the Prohibitionists?
SUFFRAGE.
Taxation without representation
is both unfair and un-American,
even if the taxpayer is a woman.
UNREPRESENTATIvE GOVERNMENT
No free people can long maintain
their freedom, nor adequately reap
the fruits Of civil liberty, when they
surrender their individual political
rights to an oligarchy of political
bosses. who, in defiance of rep
resentative government, assume to
select candidates for public Office
"in job lots,' and who make of
politics step-ladders up which to
climb to political preferment, and
who even dictate legislation in their
own favor, as in the matters of re-
gistration, the ballot law and cor
porate power. As state we are a
shameful spectacle before the world
and are reaping the bitter fruits of
such turbulence to spoilsmen-such
as bribery, corruption, stuffed ballot
boxes, padded registration, fraud,

Garrison, who is preparing to re-

1T has been well said that the
country needs revival Of common
honesty that will root out gratis Of

be cut up and rooted out, and the

MUST REGAIN LOST POWER.
The growing demand for the In
itiative and Referendum shows an
awakening Of the people to the fact
that they want to retake. in some
measure, the power they have yield
ed to the spoilsmer.
CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The mutual dependence and CO.
related interests of capital and labor
should lead both to arbitration in
disputes, and 10 the recognition of
organization as primary right Of
each.
LEGAL ROBBERY.
The people are entitled to the
best government at the lowest ade-
quate cost, otherwise popular inter
ests and individual rights are lost
sight of and the natural functions
OF government are addicated.
Extravaganza through excessive
salaries and the creation of un-
necessary Offices as we'll as pulls
and rake offs are legal rob5eries.
FEES SALARIES.
All officials should receive fixed
salaries and all fees be covered into
the treasury. To continue a law
by which Secretary of the Com
monwealth may receive as compen-
sation, in four years, from SIS 900
to over SIOo, 900, ought to put any
party so doing forever out of busi-
ness.
PIGMY MULLER.
The recent libel law sweeping in
reach, uncertain in terms, does not
wholly commend itself to thought
ful citizens, but as a political issue
it is to insignificant, while the very
foundations of government are slip,
ping away.
CHAMPION MUELLER.

feeling, and even open prayer, in

people. Whittier are we drifting,
fellow citizens, in church as we'll as
state? So in the grip Of the saloon
power is the average old party can
didate that he bows before it as
fawning sycophant, and makes it
center for the distribution of Doodle
to buy votes. Who so elected would
not be "muZzled ?"
APPEAL FOR PATRIOTISM.
AS candidate for state treasurer l
appeal for return to the old tir,e
patriotism of true representative
government, patriotism quickened
by the conscience of the voter, and
that puts the honor of the Common
wealth and the welfare Of the whole
people above self and party fealty.
For the votes of such l ask, and l

BUILD THE ROAD.

Chief among the reasons urged by the
HERALD for the Aberdeen- Mo;.tesano
road to be built out of the city along the
river was that the road was a necessity
foi Aberdeen, whether it was continued
develop the valuable mill sites lying
aong the river.
1t pointed out the fact that with a
road, direct and level, mills built along
this river frontage would be, for all prac-
ticai purposes. in the city, that other
wise the erecti,n of mills along there
would be delayed, and, when built, would
build up small tradin, places around
them, to the detriment OF the business
interests of Aberdeen.
The truth of these propositions has
been demonstrated earlier than was an
icipated whea they were advanced, by
IIc TttlucSC vi tilc CHlOu Mill 20. lnlS
company owns a site just east of the city
limits, which it. desires to build upon,
although free locations have been offered
in Cosmopols ard Hoquiam. All the
company asks is that thu road be built
and the water mains extended to the
city limits.
1t may strain the finances OF the city
to do ths row, but the object to be at
tanned is worth an extra effort, and there
is no doubt that the city will be aided in
the matter by private subscriptions. In
extending this road and water mains,
we not only secure this mill. but open
mp several miles of fine mill sites for
future development, as well as provide
wagon road outlet for the north side CT
Grays Harbor.

TOO PRECIPITATE.

The report Of the postoffice inspector
who investigated that attack upon the
negro rural free delivery carrier in Ten
nesse must have been something of a
shock to the postmaster general. In.
stead Of being a wholesale insurrection
against the postal system calling for
either suppression by the troops or sus-
pension OF service it turns ou' to have
been the act OF two individuals who had
not even the sympathetic support OF the
community. The ensuing suspension Of
the service, furnishing the whole district
for an assault in which it had no con
Germ, is thus made to appear as most
Illuminating instance of failure to ascer-
tain the facts before acting. But precipi-
tancyseems to be a charac eristc trait OF
the present postofiice administration.
Tulloch's charges were waved aside before
they were filed. The invo stigation which
has led to the resignation OF one official
and the suspension of another was pooh
pooAel at the outset. After the mistake
of suspending the rural delivery service
at Gallatin is corrected it might be well
if the DEPARTMENT officials devoted a few
hours to the consideration OF the folly OF
being too previous Pittsburg Dispatch.

The postmaster general intimates that
he desires to keep quiet the scandals in
the post Office department, lest their ex.
posure be injurious to the department
and to the party. Under the original
theory OF our government the postmaster
general and every man under him is a
servant of the people. The people are
entitled to know everything, no matter
what it is or whom it hurts. More and
more, hov ever, the. idea grows that the
people are to be governed and the poll
ticians are masters.

GET RICH QUICK" SCHEMES.

The guessing contests, which are but
/ lotteries in disguise, the turf companies
and the 'get-rch. quick" concerns, are
giving damaging testimony against the
American people. They could not flour.
in but for the people who are trying to
get something for nothing and who
adopt gambling methods to carry out
their purposes The turf companies
appealed especially to those who bet on
horse races. The managers OF these COM
panies represented that they had per-
fected plan by which they could insure
winning on a no Sc race, and thousands
deposited their money and drew their
weekly returns until the fraud was ex.
posed 1t was easy for a company to

and interested others throug him.
The "get.rich-quick sch mes were
worked on practically the same princi-
pie. Some alluring promises OF rich re-
wards were circulated among the greedy
and the infection spread until the mana
ger of the concern failed to gay. OF
course, it is the dut, OF the government,
state and national. to arrest swim dler
and punish them TO- thei frauds, just
as it is the duty OF the government to
top guessing contes is run ON the lottery
principle. But after all it will be diff.
cult for the government, however viGi-
liant, to protect people WHO have no
higher conception of life than to desire
short cut to wealth. The fact that these
frauds can be successfully practiced
proves the prevalence OF false 81 al, dard
OF success. Boys and girls growing up
and hear nothing but money talked
about are apt to get the idea that money
is the only thing to be desired, and when
this belief gets firm hold upon one, he
is not apt to be scrupulous as to the
means employed to get the money.
What we need in this country more
than anything else is an elevation of the
moral standard-a raising of the ideals
OF the people. Life, instead OF being
measured by the income, should be
measured b its overflow. Man is great.
not in proportion as he receives much
from the world, but in proportion as he
gives much to tie world Success in
life is not measured by dollars and cents.

owing him living is apt to spend most
OF his time trying to collect living; the
man who recognizes trat he owes the
world life OF service will always be
worthily employed. 1t is necessary that
one should have an income in order to
provide for his needs, but he should be
careful to give something to society that
is at least equal in value to the compen-
sation which he draws from society.
Fakes, swindles and confidence games

seek no reward except that which comes
