Rev. Swallow After Emery.

HARRISBURG, July 22.-The qualifications of
Lewis Emery, the fusion candidate for Governor
emitting him to place at the head of the Pro-
hibition ticket are once more called in question
by Rev Sas G. Swallow. He has again written
to Mr.. Emery telling him bluntey what he
thinks of his recent letter to Mr. Likins and us
ing the same letter of denunciation as lever for
getting 7OO-word magazine article from the fus
ion candidate. The letter is as follows:
HARRISBURG Pa, July 81, 1906.
My Dear Mr.. Emery-The letter wrote you
on July 8, was private communication and for
your sake l regret that you made it public
There were but two copies made; one I sent
you, the other was in my Office and unless copied
surreptitou SLY by some one, did not give it out.
The fact that you read it Monday to Profess
sor lockwood and Others in your once, and
sent copies to Mr.. Likns and others, renders it
probable that you gaveit publicity for the pur
pose of working the sympathy plan and at the
same time bid ding for the whiskey vote.

from you the truth or falsity of certain allega-
tions touching your lack of fitness for a place at
the head of the Prohibition ticket. This it was

Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun invent
or, placed his gun before committee of
judges, he stated its carrying power to be
much below what he felt sure the gun
would accomplish. The result of the
trail was therefore great surprise, in
stead of disappointment. 1t is the same
with the manufacturers of Chamberlain S
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
They do not publicly boast of all. this
remedy will accomplish, but prefer to let
the users make the statements. What
they do claim; Is that it will positively cure
diarrhoea, dysentery, pains in the stom-
ach and bowels and has never been known
to fail. For sale by i. Taggart; j. Il.

The BIGGEST WEAR

In another column of this. paper is
to be found an extract from the New
York Sun. The figures are authentic,
coming from such source, and the
facts set forth should teach lesson to
the people who are continually crying
calamity, continually insisting that
times are growing worse, that the
country is on the down hill side of the
road to ruin and wreck. There is a
whole sermon in those paragraphs tell
ing of the country's prosperity during
the year 1905. 1t should turn even the
most lugubrious into optimists. But
it will not,
No, it will not. There are men who
seem to thrive only on the misfortunes
of others and the anticipation of hard
ships for themselves. They spend most
of their time warning whoever they
can get to listen that hard times, times
of want, Of misery and desolation, are
coming If the actual facts at the time
will not excuse the assertion that such
times exist at present, these prophets
of evil make up for the lack by
prophesying hardships. They have
been at it now for several years, yet
last year was the best the United
States ever knew
The figures compiled by the Sun
furnish enough material for whole
sermon; they are, indeed, a sermon in
themselves. Let the croakers be silent
for while.

AUTO VS.. HORSE,

With modern inventions, as with
water, it is true that the proper level
is sought, and when it is found by the
innovations the excited early com
ments and prophecies made upon them
appear absurd. There was a time
when many people become SO enthu.
siastic over the bicycle that they were
sure the days Of pedestrianism and
equestrianism were ended, and that BIZ
cycling would presently and forever
be the nearly universal method of 10.
comotion, For time it almost seem.
ed as though such would be the
case. But the wave subsidized. The
water found its level. Many bicycles
are still used, and many, doubtless, al.
ways will be used. But there are to.
day more people walking and more
riding horseback than ever before.
1t will be the same with the automo
bile. When that interesting and val
liable machine was first made practi
cal there were extravagant prophecies
both for and against it. On the one
hand, men began talking about the
e.horseless age" and gravely predicted
that in a few years horses would pass
almost entirely out Of use, if they did
not actually become extinct. With
the rapid multiplication of automo
biles and the use of electric traction
for street cars, it probably seemed tc
many that such was bound to be the
case. For time it may be that fewer
horses were used. But today, as sta

PREMIER WHITES GREAT TASK.

Philadelphia Press:-It Is no wonder
Premier Witte finds the task Of being
a constructive statesman burdensome
to the last degree. There are three
great classes In Russia, and their in
terests seem irreconciliable. First
come the extreme believers In an all
powerful car. Second, there are the
equally extreme liberals and revolu-
tionists. Third, there is a sane middle
class, which demands reform. but
which opposes the bomb on the one
hand as stoutly as 1t objects to the
knout on the other.
To curb the men who carry fire.
brands Of anarchy would itself be a
big task. To exact any liberties from
the pillars Of the masterful bureau
cracy Is another Herculean labor. To
calm the educated middle class until
the great reform can be put under way
demands tact and vast experience. But
to accomplish all three at the same
time calls for abilities which are well
nigh beyond human powers. These are
the things the premier is expected to
do.
Reforms in government come slow
ly. The Russian people have suffered
IN more ways than it is possible for an

JAPAN,s POSITION

Nearly a million people are starv.
Ing in Japan because they have not
the necessary ten cents a day that it
takes to furnish living for the aver
age Jap. This is the statement made
by the New York branch of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and the information is
added that the famine now being ex-
perienced in the island nation is the
greatest and most far reaching in
Japan's history. The failure of crops
owing to the excessive rains of the
past few months is causing great suf-
fering among the poorer classes and
this suffering has been increased by
the rigors OF an unusually severe
winter. A commissioner representing
the Japanese government is now in
America soliciting funds for the re-
lief of his fellow countrymen.
While it is not popular to oppose
extending helping hand to anyone in
destitute condition, it does look as
if the position of Japan in the present
case is somewhat illogical and wrong
America for instance, asks help from
no one. When crops fail in this
country, the people who are affected
are aided materially, but the aid
comes from their own brother Ameri-
cans. The entire civilized world is
deeply in sympathy with the Japanese
in their present condition, but it would
be better for Japan's self respect and
for the impression such action would
have upon the world of nations, If
Japan herself should care for her own
unfortunates.
1t is estimated that 100000 would
be enough to ward off the fatal effects
Of the famine until another years
crops can be harvested and normal
conditions restored on the island.
Japan could raise this sum easily.
When the war with Russia broke out
the mikado's government hesitated not
a moment TO go into the worlds
markets and borrow large sums of
money. Just little more than year
ago loan of $160,000,000 was floated.
ment was deeply in debt but it's credit
was still unimpaired.
Indeed the close of the war found
financial confidence in Japanese Sc
curities better than when the issues
of the war were somewhat doubtful.
Today Japan could raise the $16,000,-
900 without much effort and it would
be but a drop in the bucket when
added to its financial obligations. In
stead of borrowing money to save its
starving people the Japanese govern
ment is talking of issuing bonds to
buy the railroads. This public owner
ship scheme as a national policy is
not at this time a matter of discussion
The only thing about it is that public
ownership is not an emergency and
those advocating it could well afford
to wait year longer if by SO doing
they could divert some of the money
necessary for the scheme to the saw
ing of human lives. Japan should be
abundantly able to take care of its
own " $500 Z - 49,.

NO TWO CENT FARE in IOWA.

Chicago Tribune.-T1e railroad COM
mittee of the Iowa house probably was
justified in killing the bill reducing
the maximum railway passenger rate
in the Hawkeye state to cents per
mile. What is a fair rate in one state
may be an unfair one in another
state. That the Ohio legislature has
fixed a maximum rate Of cents Is no
reason why the Iowa or the Wiscon-
sin legislature should do SO.
The rates a railway may justly
charge depend mainly upon the dens-
ity Of its traffic. 1t has to pay Its
stock and stations, and run trains re-
gardless Of the amount Of freight and
the number OF passengers 1t hauls.
The passenger traffic ought to pay Its
share of these expenses. II 1t is to do
this obviously the fewer passengers a
road has the more 1t must charge each
Of them for the service 1T gives him
If it has only thirty-five passengers
to the train it must charge each OF
them twice as much as If it had
seventy passengers to. the train. On
the other hand it may reduce its rates
ss its traffic increases without cutting
into its profits.
The interstate commerce commission
for purposes Of convenience in its
statistical reports. divides the coun-
try into ten groups of states. In
group one, comprising the New Eng
land states, the number Of passengers
carried one mile per mile of railway
line in the year ended June 80, 1904
was 286,513, and the average number
Of passengers in a train was sixty.
and Indiana, and parts of Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan, the number Of
passengers carried one mile per mile
of line was 120,548, and the average

tist1cs demonstrate, the number OF
horses in use in this country is great
er than ever before, and is steadily
and rapidly increasing, and all classes.
for work, for heavy driving, for pleas,
ure driving and for the saddle, are
similarly increasing. The automobile
has come to stay. The horse also is
here to stay.
On the other hand, there were those
who declared that automobiles would
nave to be excluded from the common
roads, that horses would never be-
come reconciled to them, and that
they would have to be kept under re-
strictions as severe as those applied
to locomotives on railroads But the
fact Is that thousands of automobiles
are now daily traversing common
roads in city and country without
soaring horses and without doing the
slightest harm. Now and then a
horse is afraid of them, and now and
then horse is scs.red by hen or a
dog or scrap Of paper in the high.
way There are probably as many
runaways from these latter causes as
from the former. Some automobiles
grossly abuse the privileges of the
roads and violate the law. Concern
ing such there is little danger OF
speaking too harshly and upon them
there is no danger of inflicting too Sc
we're a penalty. But their criminal an
tics must not blind the public to the
fact that for every one of them there
are many that observe the law and
use highways without offense. With
! the exercise of patience, discretion
and resolution, the proper level will
be found, and there will be no more
lincompatibility between horse vehi
cles and automobiles than there nov
is between the bicycles and pedestri
ans
