exact words are as follows:
AS piece Of information for
the people of Pennsylvania, l wish
to say that if am elcted Treasurer
of this greatState, when the time
comes for me to file bond of $500,
900. shall pay for it out Of my
own pocket, and not permit
an obiiging President # Trust
Company to arrange my security
for me, thereby placing myself
under obligations to that trust
company to have 100000 or 500,
600 of the States money constantly
on deposit in that particular in
stitution. | shall keep myself just
as free from the dictations Of the
money powers AS ! am of the po-
litical powers.
A declaration of this character
will sppeal to the honesty and fair
mindedness of every citizen of the
State, for it shows the Independence
of Mr., Sheath and stamps him as
a man of his word. Under the cir
cumstances the plain duty of Re-
publican voters in Pennsylvania is
to elect John O. Sheath. There is
no claim that he is not honest, cap
able, and fit in every way. There
is no claim that he is owned by
any faction clique, or individual.
He is the choice of. Republican con-
vention, unhampered by any die
tation
Wise Republicans will not aid
in the project to encourage the
Democratic party in the Nation by
defeating the Republican nominee
for Treasurer. They will not if
they are wise, hearken to the soph-
istry of the eager Democratic organs
which preach the doctrine of Re-
publican dishonesty and Democratic
Should they do so and
Pennsylvania be made to appear as
favo ing the Democratic party, they
must not be surprised at the Demo
cratic snicker, the laugh in the sleeve,
that will greet them the morning
after.
Much rubbish is printed about
child training! Various learned folks
air their opinions ut length in news
papers and magazines, even incorpo-
rating their notions in book form.
Some people read these articles and
try to follow directions, usually with
poor results. Why? The Germs of
truth are contained in these articles.
Possibly the application is too long
delayed, or badly managed.
If mothers would start in the very
to teach their little ones
kindness in every living thing, it
would do more to mould their en-
bryo characters than elaborate meth
od of child training. Teach your
baby to love all the birds and ami
mails, not to hurt the insects which
have fascination for the tiny hands.
If he learns not to voluntarily hurt
any living thing, the elemental
strain of cruelty will be greatly OBJ
liberated. Kindness and courtesy
to human beings will follow AS a
matter of course. \ boy who won't
stone a sparrow and has hankerings
after stray pups will probably re
member to be polite to his comrades,
can he depended upon to be clean,
honest and frank. Try teaching
kindness. Very few children are
inherently cruel. Much of their
brutality springs from sheer igno-
rance. Lack of teaching by the par
ents who are too busy or too lazy to
take the troable to explain such
things, often does the little folks ir
reparable harm. 1t isn't necessary
to send your children away to learn
this lesson. Teach him yourself.
Bring out and develope every tiny
seed of love and kindness, and baby
will grow up with wider outlook
and greater capacity for happiness.
