The libel suit of Governor Tener
against Frederick W. Sell, editor OF
the Slatington Star, was settled on
Saturday. 1t was brought in De-
cember by Mr.. Tener as result of
the editors heading an article in a
manner derogatory to Mr.. Tener's
character. A marked copy of the
paper fell into the hands of Mrs.
Tener and she became so indignant
that her husband came on and
brought the charge, engaging as his
attorney Democratic State Chairman
Arthur G. Wewalt. The January
Grand Jury brought a true bill
against the accused editor. Senator
Dewalt said that settlement was ef-
fected on a basis satisfactory to the
Governor, the full terms of which
would be published in the next is

Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota, in the course of four-hour
speech in opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity treaty on Saturday, critl-
cised the eXtravagant methods OF life
in the great cities and showed the
cost, in farm products, of day in
New York, to a visiting Senator.
"As he leaves his cab (from the
station to the hoteD, he pays for
fare for having been driven, say
eight or ten blocks, six bushels of
oats" Mr.. McCumber said, "and as
a compliment to the driver for his
very medium charge he tosses him
fifteen heads of cabbage. He regis
ters at the hotel and is shown by the
bell boy to the elevator. AS he
nears the tenth story he responds to
the expectant look of the elevator lad
with a couple of dozen of eggs. The
bell boy fingers at the door of his
room and is rewarded for his
anxiety over the comfort of the guest
with a bushel and a half of barley.
1t takes a quarter of a ton or hay
for this Senator's breakfast, and he
gives the waiter two bushels of po-
tatoes. His noon lunch is one sheep
with a bushel and a half of carrots
for the waiter. In the evening he
consumes four bushels of rye and the
waiter has a bushel of onions to
dream on. And when he settles for
his room the landlord is the recipient
of half carload of turnips.
1.-The actual cost of the articles
that make up our diet is but the
slightest percentage of the cost OF
living. 1t is the service. 1t is the
service that you pay for. Did ii
ever occur to you that the farmer
does not get four cents out of the
average meal consumed by you?"
