PENN. STATE CAPITOL
Letter From Governor Pennypacker With Reference to
Charges of Extravaganza and Graft in Connection
With the Work.

Philadelphia, October 25-The re-
publican advisory committee today re-
ceived from Governor Pennypacker a
lengthy letter in reply to communi-
cation sent the governor On October
Is asking him as ''the responsible head
of the government" for an early and
satisfactory declaration" upon the en-
tire subject of the state capitol with
especial reference to the charges of ex-
travagance or graft in the matter Of
furnishings; also, "as to the warrant
Of law for making expenditures above
the $4.O0OO00 appropriated for the cap
itol construction" AS to the latter
question the governor says:
THE warrant of law for the expen-
ditures upon the furnishing and equip
ment of the capitol is contained in the
act of 1895. This act vests great au-
thority, and imposes an equivalent re-
sponsibility upon the board Of Sublic

entire control and supervision of the
public grounds and buildings, and all
the repairs, alterations and improve
ments made and all work done or ex-
penses incurred and about such grounds

This morning at 10 O'Clock DR., Ham,
ilton will continue his Bible study meet
ings. The subject TO be taken up to-
day will be: The Surrendered Life"
At Z so p. m. he will preach as usual
Saturday morning the Bible reading
will probably be on Some Rules for
Christian Living" Following this talk
the ordinance OF Baptism will be ad-
ministercd.
Last night the evangelist preached
especially TO members OF the Pythian
lodges of the city. A large congrega-
ton was present. The subject was
The Three Degrees OF Christianity
Three texts were selected: Colossians
IL: Matthew 1920, and Mark l0:2t-
DR.. Hamilton said:
In every true Christian life there
are three degrees. First, a degree Is
taken when one becomes = penhenI
Christian. Christ has symbol for
this degree, that of baptism. IL Is
symbolic OF what he himself has pass
ed through. His death, His burial and
His resurrection. The second degree
is when we have advanced from the
penatent man TO the conQueTing Chris
tian-conquering sin and temptations
The Lords Supper is symbol OF this
second degree. The third degree Is
the glorified saint. Our first text sug-
gests that in the Christian life there
are mysteries. This is not strange. We
have mysteries all around US. That
light TO my left is mystery. The fact
that | can utter certain sounds and by
them you can read my thoughts Is a
great mystery. We live in mysteries.
What is the secret OF the mysteries
in these degrees and symbols? For
man to understand them he must nave
Christ in his heart and God must DC
supreme on the throne OF his heart.
When the rich young ruler came To
Jesus and falling on his knees asked
what he should do to have eternal IRE
he went away grieved. He was not
willing to surrender and have those
mysteries of the Christian life revealed
10 him. God had touched his sore
spot. The greatest battles that nave
been fought in this world have not
been at Waterloo or at Gettysburg, buE
have been deep down in the human
heart, It costs something TO De u
Christian. 1t takes courageous man
to make a complete surrender to Cod
Neither morality, popularity, DeneVo-
lence, hndliness, baptism nor cnurcu
membership will admit you into heav-
en-. One thing thou lackest'. The sur
render to God must be complete. Jesus
must have first place in your heart.

OF law for the payment Of repairs to
and furnishing of the chambers and

the legislature and the several depart
ments Of the government
AS to the charges of "extravagance
and graft" the governor says:
THE term involves a comparison
What would be the extrava gance in
one relation of life may be economy
elsewhere. A capitol, which it would
be folly to attempt in Arkansas, may
we'll be erected in Pennsylvania The
capitol and its equipment have been
paid for out Of revenues, and the in
coming democratic treasurer found the
treasury replete. 1t has not cost q
citizen of Pennsylvania one cent in the
way OF taxes upon his real estate or
goods. The moneys expended upon it
have been almost entirely drawn from
the profits Of the great corporations
and have been distributed among the
artisans Of the state
4 know of no graft. I do not be-
lieve there has been any. [ do not like
the term, and / have little faith in the
persons who roll it over their tongues
] thoroughly distrust the motives and
the accuracy of those who are glibly
making the accusations. They arc
persons who, having won a political
campaign one year ago by misrepre-
sentation as to conditions in Philade1-
phia, and in a national bank which
happened to fail, are cultivating hopes
of a still greater success by the same
dubious methods Sucn an outcry
from state official would be entitled
to more weight if it came from his
office and not from the hustings. New
ertheless, there is always the possibili-
ey Of error. The board was composed
not of architects Or builders and it Is
not likely that it's members are either
Omniscient or infallible.'

ruling Of the interstate commerce
commission transportation over rail-
road lines no longer may be given to
newspaper publishers or editors in ex-
change for advertising space in their
newspapers.
A protest against this ruling has
been received by the commission from
the massachusetts, press association
Inc association unanimously voted tn
enter It's protest against the reOOrted
ruIlnS In holding that the payment for
rdllfoad transportation at full rates in
advertising shall be treated on anv
other basis than that of TRANSFORMATION
paid 70" in cash"
In letter to Secretary Hefferman
In response to the protest. Chairman
Knapp, Of the commission saws. in
part, alter quoting the section of the
law which prohibits the issuance of
Tree transportation or TRANSFORMATION
pald 1or IN any other way than in cash:
You are, of course, aware that all
tarlHS hled IN compliance with the reg
ulatlnS statute names rates in dollars
and cents and do not in any case pro-
vide that transportation can be paid
Tor IN property. 1t seems plain to the
commission that the law above quoted
coupled with the fact stated, permits
payment for services of interstate car
rlers only in money
This ruling of the commission in
no way lnterferes with or abridges the
rights OF private contracts Newspa-
perS and their advertising space NAV
be freely exchanged for any species Of
property upon such terms as may be
acceptable to the parties to the trans
action, but the facilities of the Dublic
carrier are not private property, nor
are they subject of bargain and sale
like merchandise. The right to travel
or have property carried by rail, like
the right to the common highway, is
not contract right, but a political
right, the very essence of which is
equality
COnceding that the advertising ar
rangements in question are ordinarily
made and carried out in good faith. it
seems plain to me that these arrange
ments must as a practical matter in
VOlVe some measure of discrimination
and It is not easy for me to see how
an honest newspaper can seriously OBJ
Ject to a ruling of the commission
which appears to be in obvious accord
With the provisions and the purposes
