Payton misread her silence and o

the turn brought him face to face with

The young man, tipsy and smarting
with his wrongs saw what was before
his eyes-his sister in Payton'S arms
but he saw something more. He saw
the man, who had thwarted him that
day, and whom he had not at the time
dared TO beard! What he might have
done had he been sober matters not.
Drink and yindictiveness gave him
more than the courage he needed, and,
with a roar OF anger, he dashed the

Stuart,s Endorsement of Tener.

For nearly four years Edwin s. Stuart
has conducted the affairs of Pennsylvania
as its chief executive. In the campaign
of 1906 he was the Republican candidate
for Governor. Rarely has there been a
political battle such as that was. Mr..
fact did not prevent the viliiiers of Penn
sylvania and the libelers of Philadelphia
and the agitators from assailing him on
the stump. The people we're told that if
elected the State would go to the dogs;
that he did not own himself; that he was
the candidate of "bosses," and as such
must bow to them. All sorts of evils
we're predicted.
Not only was he the target for the
coterie of political highwaymen in Phila-
delphia and for the hypocrites in politics
everywhere to fire at, but men entirely
honest in their opinions mistaken, but
honest-argued and voted against him.
Rudolph Blankenburg was one of those
who stumped the State and did his best to
defeat Stuart. William H. Berry was
active in his denunciatons.
What happened? The majority of the
people were not to be fooled. They sup
ported Stuart and he was elected. And
there has followed an administration that
has proved to be model. There is, and
can be, no just criticism of the Stuart ad-
ministration. On the contrary, it is ad-
mitted even by his former fierce oppo-
nents that the Republican administration
of the affairs of Pennsylvania stands
without blemish.
To-day another Republican candidate,
pledged to carry out the Stuart policies,
is before the people, and once more the
same agitation is heard throughout the
State. Tener cannot own himself they
tell us, Just as they said of Stuart when
the latter was the candidate.
Governor Stuart has won by splendid
service the right TO be considered a
straightforward and level-headed man.
He knows just what estimate to place
upon the political lrothings of men with
| au ltcn 10 seize upon lne government oil
Pennsylvania. He knows how mistaken
honest men may be. He is in position,
through actual experience, to size up the
present situation. When Governor
Stuart speaks, he speaks with sincerity,
and when he presides over Republican
meeting, as he did over the tremendous
ovation to Tener, which aroused all Har-
risburg, he presides because he believes
that it is the right and honest thing tc do.
| When he says of Tener, as he did i'm his
presentation speech, 81 am satisfied that
he will do what be promises you he will
do, and say that with all sincerity" he
means precisely that. Governor Stuart
has confidence in Tener. And so have

IT should be borne in mind that the

Congressional candidates in this state,
and is trying to elect them to Congress.
The same party has also endorsed nearly
every Democratic Legislative candidate
in the State. But not one Republican
candidate has received its endorsement,
either Congressional or Legislative. Can

To the Republican Voters of Forest
County.

The election on next Tuesday is one OF
vast importance, not only to the citizens
of Forest county, but to the business in
terests of the entire country, and we
trust that the Republican voters of For
est will not lose sight of this fact. That
the defeat of the Republican party at this
time aud the election of Democratic
Congress, aud the success OF the opposi-
ton to Republican principles and policies
in Pennsylvania means stagnation in
business, goes without saying. The bus
mess of the country is already somewhat
depressed in anticipation of change in
the political complexion of Congress and
the success of the enemies of protection
in Pennsylvania, The same arguments
and schemes are now being used that
were employed by our opponents to in-
duce Republicans TO split their tickets
when change in the administration was
secured during the last panic, when the
business of the whole country was para
lyzed and the Democratic party in Con-
gress afflicted the country with the Will
son BILL causing the wheels of business
to stop, factories, mills and manufacture
ing plants 10 suspend operations. unem-
ployed labor everywhere, stringency in
money, bank failures, low prices for
farm products, no money to buy, lumber
a drug on the market, government bonds
sold to pay the running expenses of the
government, and no relief until, under a
Republican administration. the Mckinley
bill was passed and confidence restored.
All our factories and manufacturing
plants everywhere took on new life, all
lsboring men were at work, and all this
brought about by Republican rule and
Republican policies. Are the Republi-
cans going to take chances again. and as
sist the party into power in 1910 that
caused such distressing times as those
experienced under former Democratic
rule? Surely not, if they take time to
consider the effect of such course.
The only safe way is for the Republi-
cans to weigh carefully all of the ques-
tions in this campaign, and not let per-
sonal likes and dislikes deter them from
performing ali their duties as electors
towards the party that has always secured
prosperity by wise and careful legisla-
ton. All kinds of false rumors are
ahoat, but the safe and sure way is to
vote the straight Republican ticket, for
have we not always been justified in this
course, and are not the achievements o.
the Republican party, both in peace and
war, something to be proud OF?

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
Tariff Board Making Investigations
Regarding Wood Pulp Pulp Wood
and Print PAPER.

Washington, Nov Members of
the tariff boa'd are concentrating the
work OF investigation on subjects re-
lating to Canadian reciprocity.
They are making special investiga-
tions in regard to wood pulp, pulp
wood and print paper and their first
report to the president will probably
be on this subject. Next in Importance
in the scheme of reciprocity are lum-
Der and citrous fruits.
United States supplies nearly all
of the citrous fruits consumed In Can
ada. President Taft directed the men,
bers Of the tariff board to suspend
their investigation of the chemical
schedule and other lines of search for
the present and get together the nee
osSary information which will be made
the basis for action looking to recl-
procity with Canada.
The board will not entirely suspend
work on the WOODEN schedule but the
report will be first made on those
schedules that relate to the Canadian
trade.

Beware of False Prophets.

Again the enemy is around advising
Republicans to split their tickets for this,
that and the other reason, at the same
time passing the word along the line that
Democrats should stick to their ticket
and win. It's the same old Democratic
dodge we've heard in years agone. And
in few instances it has worked, and
worked most woefully TO the detriment
of honest labor and industry throughout
the whole country. You who lived
through the gloomy years from 1892 to
1897, when Democracy was in full con-
troll, need not be reminded of the ruin
then wrought by the free traders; how
honest labor was seeking employment
but could not get it. In 1890 the Demo-
Gratis elected their Governor in Pennsyl-
elected the President and a Democratic
Congress. That settled the question
for the country for the next five years.
Men went begging-not for bread to feed
it by the sweat of their brows. Do you
want that state of affairs sgain2 If you do
vote to defeat the Republican candidates
next Tuesday, but if you do not, then
vote your ticket straight, Mr.. Republican.
A straight Repu ublican vote from Gov
ernor down will save the country from
the ruinous years of 92 to 81. A split
ticket will surely bring these dark days
back to you.
Do you want them? We guess not.
Then vote the straight Republican ticket,
Be loyal to yourself and your family.
When the renegade comes whispering
IN your ear, say TO him, "Get thee be-
bind one. Satan"

IN his speech at Buffalo last evening
ex- President Roosevelt made this solid
hit: Fourteen years ago was in Buff
falo speaking in the campaign for Mr..
Mckinley against Bryan, and at that
time our opponents held the Republicans
responsible because prices were: too low.
You remember that Mr.. Bryan's great
complaint was that we never would get
wheat up to the dollar limit. Now II
years after, the complaint is that prices
are high. Our opponents play
the demagogue part, for they say we are
to blame for high prices and that if they
are put in power prices will be made
low"
There is food for reflection in these
words OF Mr. Roosevelt.

THE congressional district, of which
Forest county is part, will be carried
by the Republicans at the coming election
according to the careful collection of in
formation by Success Magazine as to the
probable outcome Of elections of Con-
gressicnal candidates. This means that
the Elk-Mercer- V enango- Warren Forest
district will send p. M. Speer, of Oil
City, to Congress. Mr.. Speer is broad
minded, deep-thinking man and will rep
resent the district in a most creditable
manner. A vote for him is a vote to
sustain the policies of President Tafts

free trade and ruinous Democratic pol
