A Manly Statement.

Governor Pennypacker's frank ard
manly statement in regard TO the eX-
penditures for the state capitol is con-
vincins enough in itself to all candid
citizens. that not a single dollar has
been wasted or misappropiated, say
the editor of the OIL City Derrick. But
Mr.. Stuart who is in no way con-
nected with the building OF the struc-
ture. has promised to take the ques-
ton up and will give it full investiga-
tion. In his speech at Greenyille he
added the following plank to the Re-
publican party platform:
IF elected Governor, | promise you,
fully realizing the responsibility rest
ing upon me, that | will see that a
thorough investigation shall be made
of the entire question. and if such
investigation discloses that any man
or set of men have been guilty
wrong doing in the abuse of their trust,
or guilty of fraud or illegal profit in
the furnishing of supplies, they shall
meet with the punishment they sure
ly. under such circumstances. would
Justly deserve
This should be fully satisfactory to
those who have been disposed TO ques-
ton the action of the building com
mittee in eXpending such immense
sums in furnishing and decorating the
capitol But it is clear that the mem
bers did not exceed their powers, and
that they were acting in strict accord
with the law Ten years hence, when
the fame of this magnificent building
becomes more general and the work of
these men becomes better recognized,
what they did for the people in giving
hem a capitol, worthy the honor and
lignity of the state will be pointed 1T
as the proudest achievement Of their
IIVas

Are Growing Desperate.

The leaders and organs OIL the fusion
candidates in this state and particu-
larly in this district and county. are
growing desperate, remarks the edi-
tor of the Washington Observer. They
see defeat staring them in the face.
They see the sentiment growing
stronger daily for the Republican
ticket and the Republican principles.
They are using desperate tactics III a
desperate cause. FalsehoOds and mis-
representations are following each
other in quick succession. Their me-
thods of attack are despicable and
have turned many who were formerly
I'm sympathy with them to the sup
port OF the Republican ticket The re
publican party and its candidates are
conducting a clean, decent camp ign.
They are making votes. The ssIas
are clearly presented and the people
are beginning TO see most clearly the
motives which characterize the at
tacks on decent men-hecause they
are Republicans. The refusal of many
Of the Democrats to swallow the hy-
brid ticket in the district and in the
county is also making the leaders dCs-
psrate. and like Hearst, of New York,
they are beginning to call men OF their
own party vile names Keep it a.. the
better it will be for the Republican
party. 1t makes votes-because II dis
gusts honest and decent voters.
Must Be Harmony For Results.
We submit that the Republican Gov
ernor with a Republican legislature
can produce more substantive legisla-
tion than a fusion governor with the
same legislature, says the editor OF
the Titusville Herald. Excellence in
the administration of state affairs de-
mands harmony, which can exist only
through the election OF Edwin S.
Stuart to the Governors chair.
There can be shown no reason why
a single Republican should desert his
party this fall to follow Lewis En-
cry Jr.. who was never a Republican
unless TO satisfy his own selfish, self
centered ambitions.

upon several occasions upon the i'm
portance of rousing Republicans of
Pennsylvania so that there shall be no
congressional losses next month.
He realizes that the fusion campaigns
in Pennsylvania and New York are
likely TO interfere seriously with the
plans of the Republican managers for
the election of Congressman. He
dwelt particularly upon this phase of
the situation when he had Chairman
Sherman and Senator Penrose at the
White House recently to go over the
general political situation.
The President has requested Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw to make at
least two speeches in Pennsylvania,
and he may make others, although up
to date he has been scheduled for but
two.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the
National House, is billed for two Penn
sylvania speeches, and Senator BeveT-
idge for two Congressman Watson.

QUEER DOINGS At LAKEWOOD.

Lakewood. n. j.. March 2O.-Has
John ID. Rockefelier's mind given way
as result of the tense nervous
strain he has suffered for a year or
more?
Has he withdrawn from his busi-
ness and church connections and
gone into voluntary exile because of
mental trouble?
These ard similar questions Lake
wood folks have been asking each
other for the last few days. When
armed guards suddenly appeared on
the grounds about three weeks ago
and soon after that heavy timber
gates were erected at each entrance
to exclude visitors, it caused a great
deal OF talk in the village.
Up to February 9 last. when Mr..
Rockefeller is supposed to have ar
rived here visitors were permitted to
drive on the grounds and riding part

that stretch in every direction

explanation from the employees OF
the place, these privileges were with

long sticks and whose vocabulary
was limited 20 one word. Cit"

daughter. Mrs. Charles A. Strong,

state bordering on mental collapse.
Mrs. Strong caused much COM
ment in Lakewood three years ago
when she suddenly withdrew from
the cottage society, declaring as a
reason she could not afford to give
teas and similar entertainments.
Curious stories were told by
trades men OF the village as to her
rarsdmony in making purchases. She
bought sparingly OF necessities and
they were doled out with care to the

PLEA FOR A CLEANER CITY.

A Nashville paper calls attention
to conditions there, and many an
other city could apply the same
truths to itself. 1t may be well to
read what is said, and to ask our
selves if there is not something We
can do to protect ourselves from
such conditions. if we do not have
them, or to relieve ourselves of them,
if We have Says the article:
"If we could speak exclusively TO
home folks we should not mind dis
cussing the subject and speaking
plainly. The fact tLlt some other
southern city may possibly be as dir
dirty as Nashville does not justify or
excuse Nashville, the boasted Athens
of the south. II ~ true that ii is
more difficult to keep Nashville clean
than it lis some cities, but there is no
excuse for it's chronic condition. Hab-
il, custom, environment deaden peo-
pie to realizing sense of their faults
and errors. There are people who
seldom or never bathe who do not
realize that they are neglecting
duty. There are people who daily
commit offemsesE against the spirit
and law of cleanliness and neatness
who are unaware of their unclean ha-
bits. tsr-ia. de
Whatever we may th.nk or say
of the north and east their habits of
cleanliness are more pronounced
than ours. They are more active and
unrelenting foes of dirt than We are.
There is no dirt in the northern
home; from kitchen to parlor ii Is
spotless. The city streets and alleys
and parks are clean. Natural habit
joins with law in making them so.
How is it in Nashville? However
active the limited street cleaning
force may be II cannot keep the
streets clean. Merchants and others
fill the alleys with dirt and trash
straw, excelsior, paper. ashes, Gin
ders, dead rats, cats, old shoes, tin
cans, bottles. remnants of lunches,
etc Citizens violate the law in lit
ter1ng the streets and alleys, and po-
licemen make no effort to stop II. In
resident sections alleys, back yards.
side streets and vacant lots are used
as dumping grounds for dirt, trash
and filth. A clean and. handsome
house front and lawn and dirty back
yard is suggestive of a woman with
a handsome dress and dirty under
skirts. The season of cleanliness has
not been impressed. Unframed or
careless housewives and negro SER
wants and labor about the house and
premises are apt to mean cleanliness
in spots or in the front only.
Nashville needs an intelligent
crusade in behalf of cleanliness. Let
the laws he enforced. Lea citizens
who violate them be arrested and
fined. no matter who they are. Let
citizens, men and women, show more
respect for cleanliness which is an
essential TO true civilization. Let us
have a clean city-one that will not

started the experiment in municipal

the last FIVE months nearly 100000
for repairs and alterations on the
boats. When the municipal ferry
was originally suggested, the dock
commissioner at the time figured
that the city would lose s250.00 a

in earnings for the last three months,
of "a per cent. over last year. and

business as a public service corpora
