Keynote of Taxation Reform.
Mr. Stuart certainly sounded the
keynote for taxation reform when he
declared that the time had come when
the state could accept the policy of
speedily relieving farms and homes
Of the state from all taxation for the
support of schools, and ultimately lead
to the relief of farms and homes from
taxation for the support OF our chief
highways.

II is in complete accord with the
policy of the Republican party in

the chief highways OF the state under

Protecting the Farmer.
Not ONLY is this policy of relieving
our farms ani homes from taxation
for schools ana roads in accord with
the declared policy OF the party, but
il IS fuuur ed on the soundest princi'

Philadelphia, October %.
With but two weeks more of cam
paigning before them, the Republican
state candidates have every reason to
look forward with confidence to great
victory at the polls on November g.
They have covered nearly every coun-
ty in the state, and have met with the
most enthusiastic greetings everywhere
they have been. In many cases the
crowds exceeded those that would or
dinariIy be got together in a presiden-
tial campaign.
Edwin S. Stuart the nominee for
Governor, by his frank and manly ut
terances. has won the hearts of his fell
low citizens. They know of his splen-
did record as Mayor Of Philadelphia, OF
the many testimonials that come to him
from all sources after his retirement
from that office, and they believe he
will keep every pledge he has made in
the present canvass.
Roosevelt Is Interested.
There has been no more gratifying
feature of the campaign than the en-
thusiastic interest taken in the out
come of the Pennsylvania election by
President Roosevelt and members of
his cabinet.
While it would be contrary to prece-
dent to have either the President or a
member of his cabinet refer specifically
in commendation of a candidate for a
state office in the heat of campaign,
yet the fact that the Secretary OF the
Treasury has already spoken twice in
Pennsylvania, and that Attorney Cen
eral Moody has accepted an invitation
to speak in Philadelphia on October
20. clearly indicates the attitude of the
national administration toward the Re-
publican cause in the Keystone state.
While these cabinet officers cOnfine
their remarks to national issues, they
emphasize the Importance of Repub-
licans standing Loyalty by their party
so that unbroken lines shall be present
ed to the common enemy the Demo
cratic party, which in Pennsylvania
has as an ally the sO-called Lincoln
outfit

interest, as the interest lcf many
years exceeded two millions OF dollars
annually. Thus, we have drawn from
the revenues OF the state nearly eighty
miliors 70 Hluidate our debt We
have state asy Hms for the insane in
every soCJion Of the state. with homes
for the helpless, reformatories for vi
cious youth and hospitals founded
chiefly by state appropriations in many
OF the inland cities and leading towns
of the commonwealth.
A Proud Republican Record.
The Republican party in Pennsyl
vania has emphasized the patriotic
and philanthropic aims Of its people
bv expcnding many millions for the
support OF the orphans of soldiers
who gave their lives in the terrible
strurgle for the maintenance of the
Union. and it has made the school
system the crandest and most benef-
cient to be found in any state or
| country Of tie world.
In addition 10 vast expenditures in
the payment ce The public debt, in the
construction Of -yiums and homes and
bospitals in the education and care OF
| the orphers of the soldiers. in the ad-
vonceucyt Of cur school system,
| which is accepted by al as the grand
est in tho country Pennsylvania under
! Rcn..nri,-a .u.o has surplus of many
millions ia Jno treasury; and with all
the extraordinary expenditures paid
and the steady increase in the reYe-
nues of the state, the time has come
when the Republican candidate for
Governor can vel declare to the peo-
nIe of the state that the homes and
farms shall be speedily relieved from
taxation for schools and ultimately for
the construction of our chief high
ways.
Every consideration of justice in
taxation demands it, and the policy
of the Republican party has made it
possible to bring this great reform in
our tax system to its grand consum
nation.

The Modern Wife and the Money
Question.

Usually it is the shadow of mon
ey that brings the first partial
eclipse to the honeymoon. and un-
less the problem is rightly handled
the eclipse may become total. The
modern wife cannot be always ask
ing FOR money and retain either her
happiness or her seIf-respect. The
husband could not keep his busi-
ness going if he did not have pay
day for his employees or If he was
about settling his bills He
cannot expect to keep his house
going without a financial arrange
ment that will give it regularity
and security. Il is passing strange
that this matter should be con-
slant difficulty III millions of homes,
but it is a hardship which wives are
to bear uncomplainingly
She is a wise woman who rebels
early and secures her rights, for she
will never be a successful wife until
she has her part of the income with
