ANOTHER DELAY
Indications Are That No One Will Be
Punished For Capitol Graft.
[From the Philadelphia Press, Repub

From the Philadelphia Press, Repub
The action of the supreme court in
allowing an appeal to the men con-
victed of defrauding the state in the
capitol matter creates another delay
in the tedious progress of this case.
The crime was made public three
years ago. 1t has been the subject of
an exhaustive legislative investigation
a long court trial, an application and
argument for new trial and an ap-
peal to the superior court In every
case the same conclusion was reached
that the defendants were guilty, or
had been properly proved guilty, of
conspiracy and fraud against the state.
1t has been brought as a reproach
no man has had to go to jail for that
1t has been aired, discussed and prov
ed until every Pennsylvania is asham-
ed of it. The defendants have had
abundant opportunity to establish their
innocence, but they could not An
other delay is secured. The difficulty
of bringing to justice wealthy and in
fluential criminals, which is recogniz-
ed as a grievance and a wrong all over
the United States, has this fresh illus
tration in Pennsylvania. People ask is
1t possible that after all no one will be
punished for that colossal crime
against our state?
There Is a growing suspicion that
some men and some influences are tCo
powerful for justice in Pennsylvania
This is a painful thought that the su-
preme court should exert itself to dis
sipate.

unique magazine does not treat OF most
entertainingly, as well as authoritatively,

that Mr.. Fairbanks has shaved off his

known him well have failed to recog-
nize MIN. That Fairbanks beard has
been IN evidence since some time in

kept that the beard that attracted ad
miration in 1892 was exactly the same
shape and the same color in March,
1909, when Mr.. Fairbanks handed over
the senate gavel to Vice President

viii Refund Money.

Backing stoves is hard, disagreeable
work, and we believe our readers have
been greatly interested in the adver-
tisements Of Black Silk Stove Polish
appearing in this paper. Because this
polish does not rub off or dust of a
stove remains bright four times as long
as is possible with the ordinary stove
polish. Just think what this means 10
the housewife in labor saved. You
take No chances in buying Black Silk
Stove Polish. The manufacturer
states if you do not find it the best
polish you ever used, the dealer is
authorized to refund your money.
That's a fair proposition. Isn't It? A
first class article and honest methods
have built up large business for the
manufacturers of this polish. Better
give Black Silk Stove Polish a trial.
