The churches and social organize
lions that have been accustomed to
make money out of their summer eX-
cursions have been notified by the
railroad companies that this - rake
off will no longer be allowed Here
tofOre these organizations has arraug
ed to provide so many passengers at
50 much per head to be hauled to
some nearby resort, the organizations
selling their tickets at an advance
over the price quoted to them by the
railroad company and thus realizing
profit on each passenger hauled.
UAder the new rate law this is known
as rebate" and " discrimination"
and is not allowed. sNiolation is ac-
companicd 10y IA large fine. The rail
road companies have agreed to abide
by the law and hereafter excursions,
for private profit will be unknown.
This does not mean, however, than
there will be no low rate excursions.

rhe question of whether it is right
for minister to perform a marriage
ceremony on the stage of a theatre,
assisted by members of theatrical
company has divided the Minister
ial Association at Pottsvile. Such "a
marriage was performed at the Acad-
emy of Musie Friday and lively
discussion over the event will take
place ut the ministers meeting this
week. The preacher who performed
the stage wedding declares that it
was no worse at any rate, than the
holding of sour kraut suppers and
other festivities in the churches
represented by the protesting min
listers.
Here is a statement by the York
Dispatch, followed by a question that
demands the thoughtful attention of
every Christian congregations: "At a
mock wedding in u Chester county
church sixteen young ladies Were
married to sixteen young men. After
the ceremony the spectators were
permitted to kiss the sixteen young
brides for the sum of sixteen cents.
Is it not time for the reform wave
| to strike the church.

The capitol contract probers have
brought to light some things that de
mand an explanation, to say the
least. For instance, it has been
shown that Sanderson q Co., the
contractors, charged the State over
Sl3S, 900 for cut glass chandelier
globes "imported" from Western
Pennsylvania, which cost them
something over $40, 900. The State
also paid over $50 900 for thermostats
devices for registering the degrees of
heat in the building There are sup
posed to be 1872 of them somewhere
at least that number was bought
but thought they are scattered all
through the building, in the privat
corridor, the passage to the elevator,
the alcoves, the main entrance out
side, and even in the "slop sink" it
is impossible to locate them all. As
they were specially designed and
cost SO apiece, the architect should
know where he had them placed. The
one in the room where the investi-
CATION Is being carried on is likely
to register an unusual degree of heat
as the work progresses.
Every man against whom any
thing is alleged is entitled too, and
and doubtless will be given chance
to explain his action. Perhaps San
derson x Co. can make it perfectly
clear why they charged four times
As much for glass a. it cost, and poss-
IDLY Architect Huston can justify the
purchase of more thermostats than
he could find use for. Ifso, they have
4 duty to themselves and to the pub
lie in doing it.

y New York woman who has
been lecturing in Chicago declares
that women wear new clothes that
men may make money. She says
that eve have new fashions because
;he dry goods manufacturers want
to reap big profits. If you should re
fuse to wear new clothes for six
months there would be world wide
tinanc,al anic. Thus the greed of
mele men and not the pride of love
ly women is at the bottom of all
hoa5lc over dressmaking bills.
1t has been supposed that women
donned new gowns to please the men
and make each other jealous, but
this New York woman destroys this
illusion and makes it plain that if
the manufacturers of dress fabrics
were not SO anxious to get rich quick
there would not be SO many changes
in the styles of frocks aud the women
would not be ashamed to appear on
the street with the same dress twice
in one year. Lucky is it for the man
who pays the bills that the manufac-
turers oe mems suitings do not follow
the example of the manufacturers of
women's apparel.

In some of the cities as we'll as the
counties of the contest for delegates
to the national convention of 1908
has already begun. The new prim-
AIRY law of this state greatly alters
the methods and customs prevailing
heretofore Some of the tactics en-
ployed in Congressional district con
vcntions during former years will be
known no more, because the voters
will have a direct voice as to who
they desire to represent their partic-
ular party ut the gathering which
names the man to succeed President
Roosevelt.
The new primary law provides
that on presidential years the spring
primaries are to be held on the sec
ond Saturday in April, while on all
other years they shall be held on the
first Saturday in June, which this
year happens to come on the first
day of the month.
All the delegates of all the part
les the various national conven-
tons will be chosen on the same
day, excepting those elected at large
by the State Conventions. 1t virtually
aboli~hes the district conventions,
although it doesn't change the repre-
sentation, as each Congressional Dis
triet is entitled to two delegates,
for Congress and members of the
Legislature in 1908, as well AS all
county officers at the same time as
the national delegates.
