President Praises Capitol.

Possibly the presidents reference tc
the new state capitol has been the sub.
ject of greatest qualification here.
"Goverror." said President ROose
welt. in addressing Governor Penny,
packer this is the finest state capitol
| ever saw"
Looking in admiration upon the
splendid structure. examining in detail
its magnificent furnishings, praising its
architectural beauty, and its grand pro
portions, the president was most en-
thusiastic in his comments.
Every one who has seen the new
capitol cannot bat speak in the high
est terms of praise of the character OF
the workmanship and the materials
employed in its construction.
1t is a source of satisfaction to the
taxpayers of the state to know that
every dollar expended upon the build
ing and its furnishings was collected
in taxes levied upon corporations. Not
a penny was contributed from any
other method of taxation.
Attempts are being made to manufac-
ture campaign material for the Emery
Democratic state campaign by insinu-
ations that there has been extrava-
gence in the furnishing of the building
but every citizen of Pennsylvania has
been assured that this matter will be
thoroughly investigated and every item
examined into.

the legislation passed at the recent eX-

A PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE MAN.

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, ,
in whose work we Of the west are
particularly interested. is a total alb
stainer from liquor and tobacco, and
rarely uses tea or coffee.
He has found that smokers or drink
ers cannot do the delicate work of
budding, on account of their inability
to concentrate their nerve force. He
says: Even men who smoke one
cigar a day cannot be trusted with
some Of my most delicate work" And
he makes this strong statement i'm re-
gard to the use of cigarettes: Cigar
cites are even more damaging than
cigars and their use by young boys is
little short of criminal, and will pro-
duce in them the same results that
sand placed in a watch will produce
destruction
