CONGRESSMAN LILLEY,s CHARGE


Congressman Lilley failed to make
good in his charge that efforts had
been made to influence Congressman
in the interests Of a certain submar-
inc boat company He has been con-
demned by a vote of 252 to 50. of Ii
beling the House. Yet those who fol-
lowed the evidence were constrained
to believe that there was some justif-
cation for Lilley's belief that some
undetermined work was on. It is
true that the Congressman did not
present sufficient evidence to con
Wet But there was an unsavory at.
mosphere about certain of the pro-
ceedings of the company charged with
unduly influencing, or attempting to
influence, congressman, that left an
unpleasant impression in the minds
of the public.
Lilley has been convicted by the
House instead of the electric sub
marine company. Yet We are inclined
to the belief that Lilley has done good
work, that his charges and the suisse
quent proceedings cleared the atmos-
phere at Washington, and that things
will be cleaner and better there, so
far as submarine boat contracts go,
for some time to come.
No doubt Congressman Lilley has
a clear conscience in the matter He
had nothing to gain by the charges
and much to lose. He did his duty
as he saw it, and though the majority
of the House have condemned him
for doing so We cannot but feel that
while he may have been indiscreet in
making the charges without adequate
evidence to support them, there GER
tainly appeared to be some peculiar
influences at work that needed check
ing.

who is willing to do for us when we
want something done, who is not
above hustling littiv ON our per-
sonal account when the time offers for
him to do so. And 'Lige Lewis has
been in that class for twelve years.
So accepted is the fact that Mr..
Hughes is doomed to an overwhelm-
ing defeat that already throughout the
district they are getting ready to
brush up their fayorite sons and trot
them out for the race to succeed Mr..
Lewis two years hence. Mr.. Hughes,
with two defeats to his credit, will
be out of the field, and there will
be no end of entries from the various
counties of the Third. That we will
have a good successor to Mr.. Lewis
in 1910 goes without saying.
Two years more is assured Mr..
Lewis. 1t is a good thing for the
District that this is the case. He
deserves the compliment because he
has stood true to his people, worked
zealously and intelligently for them
and has always remained the same
plain, unassuming friend of all.

TWO YEARS MORE FOR LEWIS

Hon. E. B. Lewis is going back for
another term, his seventh term, and
his last term.
Of that all doubts appear to have
been removed by the developments of
the present campaign.
Twelve years in Congress is 3
long time to serve. The man who is a
member of the House at Washington
for number of years has ample OPP
portunity to make serious mistakes,
grave blunders, to diminish the ar
dor Of friends and increase the num-
Der and the hostility of his political
enemies, he has a record from which
he cannot escape, and unless the re-
cord has been a good one, unless it has
been satisfactory one, unless it ap-
deals to his constituents, he would
not have been returned.
That Mr. Lewis has been elected
six times already speaks volumes
for his efficiency and trustworthiness
as a congressman. He has been alert
in the discharge of his duties to the
people of the Third District He has
been true to the principles of the
Democratic party, and true to the
interests of the people whom he rep
resents. Every time he has been
called upon, no matter how humble
the party applying to him, there has
been prompt and efficient attention.
That is the kind of service that
tells. We all feel close to the man
who stands ready to do something
beside making speeches, to the man

MANY SEEK TO PAY
POSrMASTER's FINE

TRENTON, n. j., May 21.-(Spe-
ciaD-An unusual scene was witness
ed today in the United States court
when Marshall Thomas ]. Alcott gave
his check for $500 for the release of a
prisoner in his custody. The prisoner
was ogden H. Maths, postmaster at
Riverton, who was convicted of alter
ing the Offices gross receipts. on
which the Postoffice Department bas-
ed his salary, and was fined $500 by
Judge Cross.
Maths pleaded non yuIt, and declar-
ed that the offense, which was techni-
CAL had been committed for the good
of the Office rather than for the bene-
fit of the defendant 1t consisted of
including in his report of the office
sales of stampsc lareg quantities sold

mail matter sent out from Philadel-
phia.
Fully so Riverton men present
wanted to pay the fine when sentence
was announced, but AIcott had his
check in the clerks hands before Mat
tbs realized what had happened.
Eckard P. Budd, Maths counsel,
showed that despite the Indictment by
the Federal Grand Jury the Govern
ment retained Maths in office and adj

Asbestos Shingles.

An asbestos shingle roof, when
properly made, Will outlast the life OF
the building itself, says the June Pop
ular Mechanics. The simple exposure
to the elements causes the cement
covering of the asbestos fiber to crys-
talize and it becomes more and more
serviceable as time rolls on, steadily
toughening and hardening with ex-
posture. The fact that the elements
take better care of these shingles than
the best paint or dressing, does away
with this expense
