A PLANNED DELAY.

1t is now said that the capitol in
vestigation commission report
may not be made for two or three
| weeks. Then, of course, the gov
ernor and attorney general will take
considerable time to decide what
action they will take. Probably a
short time before election day some
prosecutions will be begun with a
great flourish of trumpets. 1t will,
of course, be impossible to try any
of the accused persons before the
election. 1t has evidently been the
object of the Republican leaders to
bring about this state of affairs.
They do not want any of the capi-
tol grafters tried before the cleo
lion. To that end they have delay
ed action by the investigation COM
mission.
There was no good reason why
the commission should not have
made a report to the Legislature
before it adjourned. it had plenty
of evidence in its possession, and
with greater diligence could have
collected more. Warrants should
have been issued two months ago
for the arrest of the capitol grafters,
and indictments found against them
and their cases fixed for trial by
this time. But this program did
not suit the machine leaders. 1t
would be most awkward for them
should some of the grafters be ac-
quilted by friendly jury before
the election took place, or if some of
them should be convicted and then
turn States evidence against their
influential political hackers. There
tore it was necessary that matters
should be delayed, so that no trials
would be possible until after the
election.
If the election should result in
favor of the machine candidate for
State Treasurer then it would be
taken as an indication that the peo-
pie were not interested in the capi-
tol steal, and that there was no ne.
cessity for pushing the cases against
the grafters. That the program
for delay was deliberately planned
there can be no doubt. 1t remains
to be seen whether the people ap-
prove of the actions of those re-
sponsible for it.-Phs6ary Post

THE OLD WORLD AND ITS
WAYS"

This is the title of a new and pro-
fusely illustrated book by Col. Will
liam Jennings Bryan, recounting
his noted journey around the earth
and through Europe, which was so
widely heralded through the Ameri-
can Press.
The book is an illustrated and de-
scriptive record of that journey,
which is so memorable in current
history. The journey embraced a
period of year, and covered prac-
tically all the nations of the earth.
Col. Bryan travelled with camera
and pencil, and not only described,
in brilliant phrase, what he saw,
but further illustrated his journey
by photographs. The photographs
constitute striking pictorial pre-
sentation and lend especial interest
to the book. They number 24o
and they show in picture the world
as he saw it. They constitute just
that many striking Object Lessons
of the people Of all countries in
their cities, towns and villages-in
their homes and everyday occupa-
tions.
The book will interest every
reader as a unique presentation Of
a wonderfully interesting journey.
1t is sold only through solicitors.

ANTITOXIN.

The State department of health
has saved many more lives among
the poor of Pennsylvania by the
free distribution of diphtheria anti
toxin as shown by the records OF
these cases thus treated during the
first six months of 1907. During
that period the death rate from
diphtheria among the cases treated
with the state antitoxin was only
eight per cent. as compared with
eleven per cent. for the first six
months of 1906 Health Commits
sioner Dixon attributed this very
largely to the fact that the physi-
clans throughout the State are now
using the antitcxin earlier and in
more liberal doses. During the first
six months of 1907 there were T.
7I2 cases of diphtheria in Pennsyl-
vania treated by the antitoxin sup
piled free of charge by the depart
ment of health's five hundred dis
tributing stations. Out of this
humber 1900 persons, nearly all
children, were restored to health
and strength. During this same
period also, 1913 persons were
treated with the States antitoxin
in immurizing doses and records
show that of this number only
eighteen contracted the disease.
The great work that Pennsylvania
is doing in saving the lives of the
children of the poor people who
could not afford to buy antitoxin
when their little ones are stricken
with diphtheria has attracted at
tention all over the country and
the health commissioner is continu-
ally receiving Letters from other
states asking information as to the
methods of distribution pursued by
his department.

THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1907
HARMANS SERVICE FOR REFORM

The fitness of John G.. Harman,
Democratic nominee for State Treas
urer, for that important Office is
completely revealed in his record as
a Representative in the Legislature
during the sessions of 1905 and
1906. Mr.. Harman is more law
yer than a financier but he is busi-
ness man enough to understand the
peculiar relations of the Office Of
State Treasurer to political condi-
tions and parties. The question
was not considered during the reg
ular session of 1905. The Penrose
machine, in complete control at
+';ue and drunk with power" was
- confident of the future to both
with such triAes, though Mr..
lrnan warned them of the i'm
.nding revolt.
But during the special session
lie question presented itself in un-
mistakable form. That session was
called not, as many suppose, for
the purpose of enacting real reform
legislation, but in order to make
such pretense as would fool the
public. In pursuance of that pur-
pose the law ito regulate the de-
posts of state funds" was enacted
and but for the vigilance and abili-
ty of John G. Harman, then a Rep
resentative in the Legislature for
Columbia county, the machine con-
troll of that service would have been
perpetrated. In fact the provisions
of the bill, as planned by the ma.
chine, invested Auditor General
Snyder, State Treasurer Matthues,
Banking Commissioner Berkey and
Secretary of the Commonwealth
McAfee, four of the most servile
political hacks who ever prostituted
the public service, with the power
of disposing of the deposits during
the entire term of State Treasurer
Berry.
Previous to the passage of the
law in question the State Treasurer
exercised complete control of the
deposits. The Board of Revenue
Commissioners had some right to
intervene but never exercised it and
the State Treasurers farmed the
funds for their personal or political
advantage. Mr.. Berry asked for
legislation to correct this evil and
under pretense of complying with
the request the machine Legisla-
ture wearing a reform mask pro-
ceeded to enact law which would
have gone into effect before Mr..
Berry's induction into Office, and
given the henchmen named power
to fix the deposits for Mr.. Berry's
full term, and everybody knows
how they would have disposed of
it Wahhman.

Woman's Home Companion.

The September Woman's Home
Companion is remarkable principal
ly for two things-the exquisite
cover by Earl Stetson Crawford,
which won the 81 500 prize recent
ly offered by the Companion, and
for an excellent article on 1.-THE
Influence of Business Life on Wom-

This September cover represents
the highest achievement in maga-
zine-cover work yet produced, and
the article mentioned above will
make a profound impression on all
people interested in the subject of
women in business life, as it is the
candid expression Of woman who
has made a pronounced business
success herself.
The fiction in this number is far
above the average. Anthony Hope
continues his charming novel, "He-
lenas PATH" and Jennette Lee, the
late Julia Magruder, Grace Mac
Gowan Cooke and several others
contribute short stories. DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale's monthly edi-
torial page is on the subject of Let
ter Writing. Grace Margaret Gould
the fashion editor, has special pat
tern pages for children's and young
ladies school clothes. Fannie M.
Farmer tells how to cook the diff
ferent kinds of macaroni, and all
the other departments-embroid
dressmaking, knitting, etc.'-are

Livingston, Mont, March PA net
work of aerial tramways Will connect
the coal mines at Aldridge with the
coke ovens at Electric, on the Park
Branch railway when the present
plans of the Montana Coke and Coal
company are carried out.
Edmund A. Bartl, general manager
Of the company, is in Livingston to-
day from Electric, and he says work
on the project will begin at once. At
least three main trans will be built
from the principal places Of output at
the mines to the coke ovens at Elec-
trio, almost a mile and half.
The coal is conveyed at present by
means OF fumes, running along the
mountain sides. The fumes will be
kept in use, and the trans will sup

at least 40 per cent Of the coal. The
whole output of the mines has been

and the buckets on the tram carrying
the grade that can be coked without
crushing or washing. Still another
grade of coal, which is better for do
mestic purposes than for cok1ng, will
be sorted and piled in the bunkers at
the mine.
The cost of building the tramWay
will be between $4,000 and $4,000,
but the saving in coal will more
than repay the outlay within a short
time. Another feature in favor of the
aerial tram is that during the cold
weather when the freezing up of the
fumes would cause delay and loss,
the weather will not interfere with
the operation Of the tramway.
Since work was resumed at Aldridge
development work has been progress
ing more favorably than ever before.
At the settlement of the strike an
agreement was signed by the Western
Federation Of Miners ana the Mon
tana Coke and Coal company that no
strike should occur in the mines dur.
ing the ensuing five years, but that
all grievances should be settled by
arbitration. There is general good
feeling Of cooperation between min.
ers and employers.

San Francisco, March 21.-The
grand jury today resumed its work
OF investigating the alleged whole
sale graft and corruption in the mu-
nicipal affairs Of this city, and after
an all-day session, with brief recess
at noon, adjourned tonight until II
o'clock Saturday morning. No indict-
ments were returned today. The en-

ther into the alleged bribing Of the
supervisors by the telephone company
on which 27 indictments have already
been based.
The jury made determined effort
to trace the $4,000 alleged to have
been paid by T. V. Halsey, represent
ing the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company, to 10 OF the SUI
pervisors to prevent the granting Of a
franchise to the Home Telephone com

letter written by Puter to Hermann,
taken from the files of the Office, but
which related to two timber claims.
