GOLD-BRICK GOVERNMENT.
(New York World

Explaining his infamous political
contract with Quay, William Finn,
the Roosevelt boss in Pennsylvania,
said to the Senate committee: You
know, out in our country we have a
habit of selling gold bricks, and |
sold Senator Quay a gold brick"
Commenting on the Hartman con-
tribution in 1904, the New York
Press admits that both the Republi-
can National and State tickets prof
tied by the expenditure" of this
money, but insists that "all the let
ters that passed between Roosevelt
and Hartman are full of evidence
that Roosevelt showed no favor to
him" In other words, after Harri-
mans money turned $4,000 votes
for Mr.. Roosevelt in the city of New
York alone, making a difference of
100000 votes in the general resule, "
Hartman found that Roosevelt had
sold him a good brick, just as Finn
sold Quay a gold brick.
What assurances have the Ameri-
can people that Roosevelt and Finn
are not now engaged in selling them
another gold brick, the same kind
that Quay bought from Finn and
Hartman bought from Roosevelt?
AS a matter of fact, is not the whole
third term movement gold brick?

THE ROOSEvELTIAN CREED.

1t Is the characteristic Roosevelt
who testified last week before the
Clapp Committee of the United
States Senate. Whatever he did
while he was President, whomeyer he
saw, whatsoever sums were contrib
uted by trusts or trust magnates to
his campaigns-his motives through
out were the protection of the people
and the enforcement of the law.
Belief that Theodore Roosevelt is
actuated in all he does and has been
actuated in all he has done by the
deepest love for the people and for
the welfare of his country is at the
bottom of that popularity which
gives him his present following. He
firmly believes it himself-of that
there can be no doubt. If one can
see no error in Roosevelt's ways, if
one can convince himself that what
ever Roosevelt proposes is right be-
cause he proposes it-and that is
the state of mind of large number
of his followers-then arguments be-
come idle and proof futile.
But Colonel Roosevelt is being
judged by his countrymen who will
decide between him and his rivals
next month by what he has done as
has in the past, not once but many
times, specifically stated that he
would take no money from trusts
though receiving contributions from
trusts is not necessarily dishonest.
He amended that last week by stat
ing that any money contributed by
| trusts was not with any understand
ing that they should get favors. The
recollection in the public mind is
fairly clear of his vitrolic denouncia-
tion of Judge Parker in 1904 for the
latter's statement that the trusts
were amoung the heaviest contribu-
tors to his campaign fund for that
year. Last week he testified that
what he denied to Judge Parker was
that ANY contribution was obtained
by any improper promises or
threats" Elsewhere in his testi-
mony he quoted from one of his let
ters written in October, 1904: "If a
corporation subscribes for the nation
al welfare, we'll and good" Surely
some people may be pardoned for
asking who is to decide that deli
cate point. This naive explanation
of what Colonel Roosevelt meant re-
calls another explanation of what he
meant when he said that under no
circumstances would he accept a
nomination for a third term
The Senate committee last week
did not convict Colonel Roosevelt of
corruption in office. What it did de-
velop is further proof of the amaz-
ing assurance with which this extra
ordinary man replies to all his crit
les, I'd all his questioners, to all who
differ with him with the retort that
everything he has ever done was
done with the purest motives and for
the good of the country, and that no
one but himself is fitted to direct the
destines of this nation.

shown his teeth to the corporations.
They feared him, they were appre-
hensive that in his uncomfortable
desire for great popularity he would
give them trouble, that he would
be a dangerous President, danger
Gus to them. The interests sought
to soften his calculated wrath by
their prodigal contributions. They
put him under obligations which
they hoped he would recognize.
They were deceived. The committee
took their money, then he turned
upon them with his prosecutions,
his denunciations, and his raven
ings.
Good many sometimes comes out
of evil, and out of the campaign
funds scandal of 1904 great good
has come. By law we have put an
end to the purchase of indulgencies
through campaign gifts. The pub
licity law, including the ban upon
gifts from corporations, is one of
the most notable reforms in our re-
cent history. Can it be wondered at
that unrest has prevailed, that the
people have shown discomfort, that
there have been hostilities against
corporations? The people know
that they are betrayed when the in
terests can buy immunity from mo-
lestation, when the beneficiaries of
the protective tariff, by filling the
campaign chest, can BATTLE all re-
duce oppressive duties. Great cam
paign funds that tend to per-
petuate a party's hold on power in
terfere with the free choice of the
people. 1t was an evil, it was a
scandal, it was corrupt, and we have
put a stop to it. The current rev.
elations prove that the reform was
urgently needed.-New York Times.

LARGE BALLOT ELECTION DAY
Nine Tickets May Have to be Set
Out for the Voters-One Week
for Contests.

Harrisburg at the state
department who have begun to
check up nominations filed for the
November election predicted that the
ballot this year would be one OF
the largest since the enactment of
the present law. If the nominations
for presidential nominations for
presidential electors and state candi-
dates stand there will be nine cleo
toral tickets in the filed, those of
the Washington, Bull Moose and
Roosevelt Progressive being identi-
cal.
The time for withdrawal and MAX
ing substitutions will end fourteen
days before the election, when the
nominations must be certified to the
counties for printing. Contests
must be filed before October 8.
Electoral tickets have been filed
by the Republican, Democratic,
Prohibition, Socialist, Bull Moose,
Industrialist, Lincoln, Roosevelt
Progressive and Washington parties.
State tickets have been filed by the
Keystone and Progressive parties.

WHY PLANT A TREE?

If you have room for it, and you
have the right to plant tree where
you think one should grow, do so on
Arbor Day, October 25. Don't only
enthuse over what a good thing it
would be-" etc, but plant that
which, if everyone having the ground
to devote to the purpose would also
place in the earth, would build a
country wide monument to tree con-
servation in America, which would
arouse the envy of all the rest Of
the civilized world.
Each live citizen is a unit of a
great whole that will be similarly
leavened if he or she and their
thousands of co-workers will do
such things from a sense of duty and
from inspiration such as that which
impels one to plant a tree.

AS A DELEGATE SAW III.

A delegate in the Republican con-
vention at Chicago has published the
following statement of his experience
in that convention:
Il have been proud of being a Re-
publican many times in my hfe, but
never was l quite so proud as when
| sat day after day in that great
gathering OF Republicans in Conven-
tion in Chicago and noted every at
tempt on the part of the T. II. fol-
lowing to stampede, bamboozle,
bribe, bulldoze, intimidate and force
minority candidate onto a majority,
dignifiedly and legally defeated.
The 7. H. people came to Chi
cago, thinking that the regular Re-
publicans we're made of the same
kind of stuff as themselves and that
all they had to do was to produce
doubt as to the possibility of winning
with Taft and 7. II. would be read
lily accepted, because of the usual
custom of nominating a candidate
who is most likely to win at the
polls.
For the most part, political con-
ventions are attended by politicians,
and politicians want to be on the
winning side.
But be it said to the everlasting
credit of the great Republican par
ty, that while most OF them appre-
ciated the grave danger at the polls,
that at no time was there ever a

BETTER NOT CHANGE.

They are having a labor famine in
Pittsburg. Think of it, labor fam
inc! Mills and factories are in need
of thousands of men at work. The
situation has become so desperate
that big concerns are actually accus-
ed of stealing workmen" from each
other, and lawsuits have been insti-
tuted as a result.
The man who has his labor to sell
is in a position to dispose of his SER
vices to the highest bidder.
This state of affairs is not confined
to Pittsburg, but is more or less gen.
eral. The building of highways and
other public improvements have
been held up by lack of men to do
the work. Here in Harrisburg, as
well as throughout Pennsylvania,
there is much more work to be done
than there are laborers to do it.
The country is apparently entering
on period of unexampled prosperity.
1t is a time for the workingman to
consider seriously whether his vote
is to be cast for a continuance Of the
kind of government under which this
has come about, or whether he is
willing to take chances on a change
of administration, with all it's posi-
bilities for interrupting the tide OF
prosperity.
The other day, at a Roosevelt
meeting in Missouri, a workman ap-
peared, carrying a banner with the
inscription:
1--WE want Taft. Let good enough
alone"
All that the opponents OF the Pres
ident have to offer is a lot OF untried
theories. In behalf of the Republi-
can administration is offered the rec
ord Of substantial achievement at
tested by the tremendous prosperity
of today.-Harrisbur Telegraph.

WAVE OF PROSPERITY
SWEEPS THE UNITED STATES.

Baltimore, Md.-Ten pages of let
ters from manufacturers in all parts
of the country published in last
weeks issue of the Manufacturers
Record, tell of remarkable activity
everywhere and in every line of in
dustry. Summing up these letters,
the Manufacturers Record says:
A rapid expansion in business in
terests increasing activity every
where, factories oVertaxed with or
ders beyond their capacity to fill, a
growing scarcity of labor, especially
of skilled mechanics, a car shortage
which in many cases is greatly re-
tarding shipments, a shortage so
pressing in some cases that one re-
port tells of cement being delivered
by the use of passenger cars as we'll
as cattle cars-such is the condition
of business throughout the country
as voiced by leading manufacturers
in every section in letters to the Man
of exceeding interest as a whole,
ters throw an illumination upon
business questions which makes them
of more than usual interest.
In some sections there is yet no
car shortage reported; in others, the
railroads are reported as wholly un-
equal to cope with the business, and
manufacturers crowded with orders
that they cannot fill because of the
lack of transportation facilities. This
is so strongly presented in many
letters that it should command the
immediate attention OF every rail-

THE LINCOLN PARTY.

The friends Of Taft and Sherman
in Pennsylvania have taken the nee
essary steps to secure a place on the
November ballot in this State for
electors pladged to vote for them.
This has been done by filing in the
monwealth, as provided by law, pc
titions signed by the requisite num-
Der of voters under the caption of
the Lincoln party, the title having al
ready been preempted, and naming
as candidates for president and vice
president William H. Taft and Jas.
S. Sherman. 1t will be remembered
that the bulk of the electors on the
Republican ticket in Pennsylvania
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ticket is headed by the names of
Taft and Sherman-have declared
their intention, if elected, OF voting
for Roosevelt and Johnson. In Or
der, therefore, that Republican vo-
ters in this state might have full
vote for, it was necessary to create
new party to carry the names of
such electors.
This action was delayed until the
last day fixed by law for the filing OF
such petitions, on the hope that the
Roosevelt electors would have a suf-
1T DP n
withdraw from the Taft ticket, or
that the leaders under whose orders
they are acting would have a sufii-
cient sense of political expediency to
remove them. But neither politi-
cal morality nor political expediency
seem to have had any weight with
the Progressive party leaders or
their satellites.
AS the matter stands now the vo-
ter will have an opportunity to vote
for Taft and Sherman by voting the
Lincoln party ticket for presidential
electors.
IT, in the mean time, the Progress
sive leaders see that their petty po-
ltical game is up, and that there is
trouble for them just around the
corner unless they withdraw their
Roosevelt electors from the Taft
ticket, the Republican ballot may
still be purged of those electors who
intend to betray Republican voters
if they have the opportunity. In
this event no harm will have been
done, and much good will have been
accomplished by the filing of the Lin
coin party papers.
1t is worthy of note that the in
terests of the Republican candidates
for president and vice-president have
thus been protected in this state,
not by the Republican State Com
mittee whose duty it was to do it,
but by loyal Republicans who are
! not members of that committee. This

of every business man and politician,
for all must unite to find some way
by which the money needed for a
vast expension of railroad facilities
can be secured. Though we are ap-
parently only at the beginning of a
period of great activity, and the
country is not yet in the full swing
of its highest tide of prosperity, traf-
fic is running far beyond transporta-
tion facilities. How great the diff

THE SCANDAL OF CAMPAIGN
FUNDS,

Why were those great sums OF
money given to the Republican Com
mittee in the Roosevelt campaign OF
1904? Why did a few men in Wall
Street make contributions, including
the Hartman and the Standard Oil
gifts, amounting to three-quarters of
a million dollars? Why did the cor
porations give the committee ST.
100000?
Was it to make sure that Mr..
Roosevelt would be elected? That
is preposterous explanation. There
never was a moment of doubt that
he would be elected, Mr.. Parker
never had the remotest chance of de-
feating him. The money was given
in hope of favors to come. There
is no other reasonable explanation.

VERY OBLIGING.

In complying with the act of Con-
gress requiring newspapers to pub
lish quarterly statements regarding
business, management, ownership
and stockholders and a few other
questions, Editor Newell of the Can
ton (Pa.) Sentinel had the following
attached to his statement which ap-
peared last week:
ut is not required by the Act of
Congress, but we do not mind tell
ing the Postmaster General that we
also own a lawn mower, and have a
limited amount of stock in two diff
ferent telephone companies. A dog
locally known as Niger tags us
around sometimes, but we disclaim
all ownership of or responsibility for
him. Said dog sleeps on the mat by
our front door when he don't sleep
somewhere else. He comes to our
house when we have chicken for din
ner, and he climbs up and licks our
hands and face when he wants fav-
or. At other times he don't know
US. Said dog is a pretty good poll
tician. We don't know what he is
running for, but the last we saw of
him he was running from a chunk of
wood we threw at him because he
played tag with our undershirt hang
ing on the clothes line.

Reports on Conditions in

President Taft that, as the result of
a recent trip through New Jersey, he
has discovered that thousands of
workingmen and small business

Gratis are going to vote for Mr..
Taft.
"They no longer fear Roosevelt
and they do fear the effect which
Wilson's election would have on

From Missouri comes a live re-
port from a man who says that when
the primaries were held there were
only six Taft men in the entire town,
but that now every Republican has

tung a German newspaper, publish
ed in Newark, and a graduate OF
Princeton of the class of 1891:

Germans will cast their ballots for
