terizing Roosevelt's recent letter to
Senator Knox on the labor issues as
"a diatribe of abuse and misrepresen-
tstion, exhibition of potent rage and
disappointment and awful descent from

today issued five thousand word

the November number of the American
Fcderationist and will be circulated in
large quantities among working men

paign.
Summing up, Gompers says "The
fact of matter is that the president
having made injunction Judge Taft a
candidate of the Republican party for
president and seeing that the labor
vote, which has been so often controll-
ed, diverted and perverted by politicians
is now aroused and determined to de-
liver its own vote an that the toilers
will not be cajoled, deceived or brow
beaten, has become desperate and angry
and by the worst exhibition of dema-
gogism has tried TO instill into the EN-.
pioyers and business men the fear that
their property and business are in dan
ger if Square deal, implied by equali-
ty before law and human freedom. is
accorded workers with all other eiti-
zens."

A LARGE CHURCH SERVICE
To Listen to Sermon by DR.. Thayer on
Coming Revival.

The Congregational church was filed
last evening when union services which
included the Congregational, Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches wero
held. DR., +. o. Thayer, pastor Of the
Methodist church, was the speaker, and
his address was anincitive to prepara-
tions for the eyangelistic campaign which
the churches will begin next week.
The speaker said, This win not be a
revival in one sense of the word, but IL
will be in another. Because there have
been so many fake reviyals conducted by
cheap men, II does not follow that all
are so. There have been reviyals of all
kinds at all times, not only as applied
TO religion but as applied to art, liter
ature and other things. Human nature
cannot keep in one course and therefore
stagnation comes in.
"All history has recorded the rise and
fall OF the tide Of revivals and each
time the standard has been maintained a
little higher and the world is growing
better all the time. We need a revival in
Barre. both the people and the churches.
The churches need a revival, as they do
not reach the people. the majority Of
whom do not 90 inside of church.
hope that this revival win be permanent
and that its results will live. We must
begin IL right and forward must be the
watchword Of the churches. The reviv-
ais in Vermont are but part OF the
reyivals that are being carried on
throughout the world.
Il think that the Russian-Japanese
war was a part of Gods plan for open
ing up Russia for the influence OF the
Christian religion. God had a hand in
the purchase OF the Philippines and when
the young Turks took control in their
country it was only a part Of the great
plan Of God. God is always ready and
it is only necessary for US to bring
ourselves into contact with Him. God
furnishes the gospel, the Holy Spirit and
the throne of grace, Our part is to pray
to bring ourselves into harmony with
God"

cLUNG TO THE AUTO.
And Thus Will P. Durkee Avoided Being
Run Down.

viii P. Durkee of South Main street
had narrow escape from being run over
by A. ID. Morse's automobile late Satur-
day afternoon. DrIrkee was walking
across the crossing opposite the Uni
versalist church when the auto driven
by Mr.. Morse came up Main street and
suddenly turned to go up Church street.
The auto was not going fast, but D1lrkee
did not see it in time to get out of the
way, and the frost of the machine
struck him.
He fortunately managed to catch hold
of one Of the lamps and held himself
from going under the machine He was
carried about the length of the machine
before Mr.. Morse could bring it to a
stop. That the auto was going slowly
was the only thing that saved him from
being knocked down and run over. The
auto, in being stopped so suddenly, was
put out of adjustment, and had to be
worked over for over half an hour before
it would start again.

ELKIN REPLIES TO
HEARST'S INSINUATI0NS
Never Received Directly or Indirectly
From Archibold Any Money For
Improper Purpose.

Pittsburg Pa, Oct. 26.--Justice John
T. Elkin Of the Pennsylvania supreme
court, whose name was introduced by
William r. Hearst in the alleged Stand.
ard Oil correspondence read by the edi'
tor at a meeting in New York Saturday
night, denied last night that he ever
had received money for improper pur.
poses from John ID. Archibold or ever
had attempted TO influence legislation in
bchalf of the Standard Oil Co. Justice
flkin came here yesterday from his
home in Indiana, Pa. TO resume his
work with the supreme court, which is
In session here.
Justice Elkin said that since reading
the correspondence he had not had an
opportunity of going over his files and
other data to determine whether the
facts stated in the Arohibold correspon-
dence were correct or not.
you may say for me, however" he
added, that | never received from Mr.
Archibold directly or indirectly, money
for any improper purposes. Neither
have ever made any attempt TO in.
Guence legislation in the interests Of
The Standard Oil company.
Former Gov. William A. Stone, whom
Hearst charged with being influenced
by Standard Oil officials on the appoint.
nltnt of judges, made this statement
last nights
"Mr. Hearst seems to think that be-
cause a lawyer understands the oil and
gas laws Of Pennsylvania he is disquali-
fled TO be a Judge. That rule would
make only those eligible who did not
understand laws relating TO oil and gas
and as every lawyer in Pennsylvania in
practice does understand the laws re-
llating to oil and gas Hearst's rule would
compel us to 60 into some other state
for Judges.
'The drafts sent to Mr.. Elkin II sent
to him, were sent while he was either
chairman of the state Republican COM
mittee or a member of the finance com.
mttee. 1t was not improper for him
TO receive contributions for campaign
exPenss.
'The judges Of Pennsylvania have the
confidence of the people. They have
never been charged with partiality to
the corporations, nor can they be so
charged justly.
Il have no recollection of receiving
the letters from Mr. Archibold.. / did
not appoint Judge Henderson. did
appoint Judge Morrison because of my
knowledge of his ability and fitness for
the bench"

nunciation Of various forms Of gamb-

Something for Nothing" President
Hyde opened by scoring the laws which
allowed the organization of corpors.
tions, the only purpose of which. he
claimed, was to allow wholesale steal
ing by thieves. President Hyde said
among other things:
"The most prevalent vice of the Am.
criean people is the desire to get some.
thing for nothing. Maine has the dis
ease as badly as Oklahoma or Nevada.
This state receives thousands OF dol.
lars year Of revenue from all over
the country for organizing corporations
under laws that were drafted in the
interest Of thieves to make Wholesale
