 Her dress. too, helped the delusion. for from her head, crowned with real old. lace, to the hem of her graceful gown of delicate silk in quaint oId- rose flowers she was antique. A carv- ed tortoise-sheil comb which once ad- orned the artistocratic head of her great t-Erandmother. Mrs. West. Char leston, N. J., . descendant of BenJa- min West the painter, gave just the boise to her dignified head which the danes of old had. A diamond brooch rich with gems. and a curiously wrought gold bracelet both heirlooms from the same great-grandmother gave her the appearance of lady at court. And when she stretched a slender gem- med hand for you to kiss. queen to the manner born could not have been more gracious.
 Her children and friends brought gifts which they lovingly laid at her foet. as they bowed before her. Some of them curious, some valuable In- deed that was a pleasant way the daughters have of showing their ap- preciation of the mothers care and in- terest when as children they needed her. Now grown to woman's nature. they do not forget who aided them in that growth.
 Among those who came to dc re- verence to this noble lady of years. were groups of country cousins. dress ed to suit the place, and some gay citv cousins brilliant with plumes and flow CTS. This gave variety and interest to the throng of votaries
 A pleasant company walked and talk ed for few hours in the presence of the Queen. then took their cue to de- part as she descended from her throne.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL.
Every Employer OF Labor Should be kc-
qualnnted With the Measure.

The employers liability act,
which has been signed by the Gov
ernor will cause employers to take
extraordinary precaution to safe
guard their employees. The act is
as follows:
I'm all the actions brought to re-
cover from the employer tor injury
suffered by his employees the neg
ligence OF fellow servant of the
employer shall not be a defense
where the injury was caused or
contributed to by any of the fol-
lowing causes, namely:
Any defect i'll the works, plant
or machinery of which the EN-
ployer could have had knowledge
by the exercise of ordinary care,
the neglect of any person engaged
as superintendent, manager, fore
man or any other person in charge
or control of the works, plant or
or machinery, the negligence of
any person to whose orders the EN-
ploye was bound to conform, and
did conform, by reason of his hav-
ing conformed thereto the injury
or death resulted, the at of any
fellow-servant done in obedience
to the rules, instructions or orders
given by the employer or any other
person who has authority to direct
the doing of said act.
"The manager, superintendent,
foreman or other person in charge
or control of the works or any part
of the works shall under this act
be held as the agent of the EN-
ployer in all suits for damages for
death or injury suffered by en-
ployes.

Low Prices and Hard Times.
Jasper in Leslie's Weekly


Are we deliberately inviting all
era Of low prices and the hard times
that NAV be expected as their con-
comitant 1t looks like it. This
seems to be what the people want.
Curiously enough, every one is
anxious that the low prices shall
not affect him or his business. Each
would like to buy from every one
else as cheaply as he can, and sell
to every one else at the highest fig
ure. The cattle rangers denouuce
the so-called beef trust whenever
the latter reduces the price of cat
tie. But when the so-called beef
trust raises the price of meat, the
public denounces it for increasing
the cost of living. Producers of oil
demand that the Standard Oil shall
pay liberal prices for the natural
product, while every one who has
monopoly brick to throw aims it at
the Standard Oil and demands low
er prices for all its commodities.
Workingmen while joining in the
clamor for lower prices are at the
same time combining to demand
higher wages. Railroad employees
insist on shorter hours and more
pay, while Congress and the Legis-
latures are uniting in a crusade for
two-cent fares, lower freight rates,
and higher taxes on all the railways
own or earn.
The people who denounce trusts
and combinations are foremost in
organizing combinations and trusts
OF their own. Workingmen in
their unions, milkmen, coal-deal-
ers, icemen, dentists. doctors, near
ly all classes of merchants, dealers,
and professional men, have agree
ments to maintain prices or fees,
yet every one of these agreements
is as much a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law as an agreement
between the railways or between
any line OF manufactures to main
tain rates or prices.

WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, D. c. July 4, 1907.
The announcement that George
+. Roberts, Director of the Mint
has resigned from the Treasury De-
partment to become the head OF
the Commercial National Bank, is
news, but is hardly surprising. 1t
was suspected that when James H
Eckles died there would be some
prominent man chosen from the
Treasury to take his place. The
fact that Roberts was his successor
in the Treasury makes his choice
the more natural He will not only
be the head of the Commercial ma.
tional Bank, but will soon be the
head of the Continental National,
which is to consolidate with the
Commercial. His promotion is
merely another striking illustration
Of the fact that the Treasury De-
partment is the best of the govern
ment departments as stepping
stone to preferment i'll private COM
mercial life. Nearly every Secre-
tary of the Treasury and other high
officer has gone from his govern
ment place to some responsible and
well-paying position in the financial
world outside. Of the younger
men who have been so promoted,
Eckles himself was striking illus
tration. Frank Vanderlip, first pri-
vate secretary to the Secretary Of
the Treasury. then Assistant Sec
retary and finally the Vice-Presi-
dent of the City Bank of New York
and the recognized mouthpiece of
Wall street, is another remarkable
example. But even more remark
able though less widely known is
Milton E. Allies, a few years ago
messenger in the Treasury Depart
ment, and rising through all the
customary grades to graduate into
the vice-presidency of the Riggs
National Bank of Washington, one
of the most powerful financial in
stitutions of the country because Of
its location and close connection
with the Treasury Department.
Yes, the Treasury is an excellent
place to get into and a better place
to leave, if one can leave it as so
many OF the higher officials do.
**@
The Government is making
noise as though it might be pre-
liminary to prosecution of the
Smelter Trust. The Smelter Trust
is the richest of the trusts aside
from the Standard Oil Company.
ust how much evidence against it
has been gathered by the Govern
ment investigators is impossible to
say. But if one has lived in
mining country in the past decade,
there will not be much question
that there is evidence enough
against the trust if it can only be
dug up. The Smelling Trust is so
powerful that it can dictate terms
to the railroads and does Just as
the Stardard Oil Company in gain
ing its first supremacy in the oil
business. With the railroads at its
mercy, it can, of course, dictate to
the miners and even down as far as

THE DEMOCRATS CHOICE.

The nomination by the Harris
burg convention of John G. Har-
man as the Democratic candidate
for state treasurer is a choice upon
which Pennsylvanians are to b..
congratulated. AS a gentleman
courteously capable and peculiarly
fitted to carry out the duties of the
Office so splendidly exemplified by
William H. Berry, no better than
Mr.. Harman could have been nam
ed. AS the neighbor of Columbia,
of which county Mr.. Harman is a
resident, Lycoming sends greeting
and congratulation. AS an attor-
rey before the courts of Columbia
81 Montour counties, as lifetime
81 zen of Bloomsbury, as a member
he state legislature, there is on
hat which inspires confidence
commends praise in the char
=, :er and career of Mr.. Hartman.
His is candidacy of the sort the
support of which is high privi-
lege.
The conditions existing in Penn
sylvania presage Mr.. Harman' S
election; the capitol graft exposure
and the disclosures made by official
investigation of the same at the
hand of Democratic Treasurer Ber-
ry and the saving by him of many
thousands of dollars to the people,
make it imperative that Democrat
be chosen to succeed Mr.. Berry,
and as his successor Mr.. Harman
combines all the qualities that go
toward insuring a continuation of
the Berry type of administration.
The manifest and significantly ex-
pressed displeasure of the Pennsyl-
vania veterans at Republican gov
ernor's disapproval of the Cochran
pension bill is bound also to re-
dound substantially to the Demo
cratic candidate.
The Democrats are to be con-
graduated upon their choice;
Bloomsbury is to be congratulated
upon being the home of the candi-
date; Mr.. Harman is to be congrat-
ulated on the outlook.
The platform adopted by the
Harrisburg convention is confined
to state issues, and chiefly to the
very pertinent issues growing out
of the looting of the state treasury
i'll the capitol matter.
This is right. The only person
to be elected is the state treasurer,
and upon this issue alone his cleo
tion is to be determined. The sew
eral additional state demands of
the platform, ballot reform, the
right of the people to express sena-
torial preference, and the denunci-
alton of the merging of railway
competition are solid planks of rea-
son and wisdom, so that the plat
form as a whole is profoundly one
of time honored Democratic doc
trine seeking the maintenance of
governmental honesty and economy
of administration.

A story is told of a Bradford
county politician (the sharp and
shifty kind) who was urged by his
wife to hoe the garden. He couldn't t
think of any very good reason, so
he went at it. Soon he came in
with silver quarter he said he had
found. He washed it, put it in his
pocket and went back. In few
minutes he showed up with another
coin, this time a half dollar. He
said there must be buried treas
ure in that garden Then he un-
earthed a couple of dimes and
another quarter. Being very tired,
he announced his intention of tax
ing a nap, and duly went to sleep.
When he awoke his wife had dan
gerous and steely CLINT in her eye,
but the garden was all hoed. 1t is
mistrusted that she hoed while he
slept, and that she had failed to
find any buried treasure.

There are but two issues in this
years campaign in Pennsylvania
that interest the people, and they
are the honest conduct of the state
government and the revision of the
present iniquitous tax system.
This isn't a year to save the tariff
or make Sound money" cam

a presidential contest, The battle
in Pennsylvania is one of the peo-
pie against the gratters. 1t is in
no sense political fight. Party
issues are not involved. The peo-
pie made no mistake when they
elected Berry two years ago, and
they will make no mistake if they
elect Harman to succeed him and
continue his good work. The cap
itol job isn't the only thing about
the state government that needs
investigating. - MlkOn Record.
