THE VITAL CAMPAIGN QUESTION

Reports from Pittsburg are to the
effect that leading Democrats out
there are preparing to hold meet
ings in the near future in two thou
sand towns or Tore, simultaneous
ly, all of them to be addressed by
several speakers on the text, thou
shalt not steal" During the re-
cent meeting of the Democratic
State committee in Harrisburg Mr..
w. J. Brennan, OF Pittsburg, made
this suggestion and it met with uni
versal favor. The new chairman
Of the committee, Senator George
M. Dimeling, of Clearfeld, cordi-
ally approved the proposition and
1t may be presumed that the move
ment referred to in the news dis
patches on the subject, the other
day, mad his official sanction and
support.
The only question to be deter
mined by the votes of the people in
November is whether or not the
conditions which prevailed in the
administration of the government
at Harrisburg previous to the cleo
ton of William II. Berry are to be
restored. MI. Berry, who more
than any or all other influences is
responsible tor the improvement,
expresses the opinion that no man
OF the political faith of the majori-
ty party, however honest and de-
ternined, could have had the cour-
age and determination necessary to
make the exposures and compass
the reforms. The experiences of
Pennypacker in Pennsylvania and
Mayor Reyburn in Philadelphia,
completely corroborate this view.
They both enjoyed the reputation
of being honest and capable, yet
both became servile tools of the
machine.
If the Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, Mr.. John o. Sheat2
were as honest and courageous al
his most partial friends represent
him to be, therefore, he would not
be able to resist the pressure of the
machine TO agree to the iniquitie:

Both the candidate and the plat
form of the Republican state con-
vention are representatives of the
machine leaders who have long
dominated the government of the
state, to its great loss and shame.
The candidate and platform of the
Democratic state convention repre-
sents all the forces which have long
been arrayed against the corrup.
tionists and in favor of real reforms.

Now. when you come right down
to good. sound reasoning" says a
modern philosopher. isn't it fact
that the troubles OF the rich man and
the poor man are about evenly divided:
The rich man has a square meal
and a canary appetite.
The poor man has a square appetite
and a canary meal. The rich man
wants the poor mans appetite. The
poor man wants the rich mans meal.
and there you are!
1.-THE rich man hasn't money enough
to buy the appetite, and the poor man
lacks the funds to buy the meal.
"And there you are again"
Mark Twain, who Is also a modern as
well as an ancient philosopher tells
us that when he was boy he resolved
that If he ever had spare dollar he
would invest every cent OF it III dough-
nuts. When he became man lie had
the spare dollar, but lie didn't want the
doughnuts.
