If the Pennsylvania Railroad Company sticks
to its determination to refuse to shelve peach
cars for the shipment of the fruit, the growers
will be put to great expense and Inconvenience
that is provided they have any fruit to be hand
led. That is the questionable uncertainty of
the crop-that probably influences the company
in its refusal to sheve the cars But the Della
ware Railroad Company in the past has secured
enormous sums from the Delaware peach and
fruit growers and it should certainly endeavor to
accommodate them in this matter

IT HE list of aspirants for the Republican
nominations at the primaries to be held
on May H. shows that there is a healthy in
terest in the party in the coming election. For
nearly all the positions, there is more than one
aspirant which means that extra efforts will be
made to get out the voters. Excepting one in all
the wards which will probably be carried by the
Republicans there is more than one asprant for
Council
Three we-known citizens desire the nomina-

aspirant for the nomination for President of City
Council and as his record as a member OF the
present Council has been creditable his nomi-

The large number of Republicans who wish
TO be the ticket shows that there will be
free and fair fight for the nomination which will
stimulate party interest and should result in
large vote at the election There is no slate to
be made up, no boss debating nominations.

primaries. The people now have the opportunity
to make the Republican nominations. No ring
rule or boss rule, is forced upon them. They
will get just what they deserve and they cannot
be relieved Of responsibility for the selections that
may be made at the approaching nominations.

.I0HN D. WAS FOUND

While the United States mar
shals Of three or four states were
looking for Mr.. John D. Rookie
feller a deputy marshal in Massa-
chusetts located the oil man and
without difficulty succeeded in
serving the subpoena issued by
the Judge.
He accepted the service good
naturedly and admitted that he
had evaded the marshals in the
hope that his lawyers would be
able to secure a modification or
reversal of the courts mandate.
But he did not succeed, and at
last the man sought for in four
states was found taking life easy
in a comfortable home in the Bay
State.
Evidently the oil man appreci-
ates a joke even if it is on him
self. OF course it is serious
matter to trifie with the United
States courts, but SO long as Mr..
Rockefeller could keep out of
sight he was within his rights.
It was for the marshals-or one
of -them-to serve the notice,
and not for Mr.. Rockefeller to
hunt a marshal and give himself
up.

Try THIS AND THEN DECIDE

The following may awaken reflections
that will induce change from lukewarm-
ness to action:
Think of Praying.
sour Father Who art in Heaven, "
And then voting with tax and license
parties to perpetuate the liquor traffic
upon earth, thus aiding the power OF
darkness; or
"Hallowed be Thy Name"
Then voting to iegalize the liquor traffic
by tax or license, which causes Gods
Name to be continually blasphemed;
"Thy Kingdom Come"
Then voting that satan's kingdom-the
saloons, etc.-may continue, if they will
only pay the price which politicians have
fixed upon them;
"Thy Will be Done,'
Then voting with and for liquor sellers
to keep on under tax or license laws that
which is the greatest hindrance to having
Gods Will done on earth;
"Give US this day our Daily
Bread"
And then voting to legalize that which
takes the bread from thousands Of starv'
ing mothers and helpless children.
LEAD us Not into Temptation,
Then voting that the allurements and
destruction of the saloons may go on
under come form of tax or license;
"Deliver US From Evil"
And then voting that the State and Ma
tion may continue the liquor evil, both
at "home" and to ''heathen" lands, pro
viding they will only make the price q
blood high enough in the form of tax OF
license!
Can you do all the above and then
heartily say-AMEN?

that.
The old original gift of

when one Of them gets a
shoe that is a little better in

it at the price she wants to
pay-well she'll brag, boost
and crow your shoe and
your store over every
woman she knows.
That is what hundreds of
women are doing about this
store every day-and more
are learning about the good
ness and style and little
prices Of our shoes every
day and they in turn are
telling their friends.
And the real reason is
They want their friends
