Gov. Sanders Stirs Pennsylvania Dem
Ocrats.

On Saturday, Aug. %, Govern
or Sanders spoke at Allentown,
Pa, in the opening meeting of
the democratic campaign of that
State. The Allentown Daily
Democrat of Monday. Aug. Is,
speaking of the meeting. gave a
very eulogistic account of Gov
ernor Sanders speech. Amongst
other things, it said:
The first speaker was Govern
or Sanders. Tall and broad
shouldered, Mr.. Sanders proved
that he had a voice in keeping
with his stature. and talents of
oratory that We'd only with the
pregnancy of the things he had
to tell. :"
1t gave special prominence to
the closing of Governor Sanders
speech, and quoted him as fol-
lows:
I'VE have lived to see the day
when the flames of Democracy
have spread all DER America.
The party that you and l belong
to has stood by the open grave
of every party that fought it in
the past. 1t stands as strong
under Wilson as ever itstood I'M
der jefferson and Jackson. And
we shall live to see the day when
the Democratic Party will stand
dry-eyed at the tomb where all
that is left of the Republican
Party is being laid away.
Parties may come and parties
may go, but the Democratic Par
ty lives on forever, because it is
founded on the eternal rights OF
mankind ITSELF"
And the the paper adds. Thus
in triumphant accents was the
death knell of Republicanism
sounded at the greatest democrat
tic county meeting ever held in
Lehigh county. These were the
words that came from the lips of
Hon. Jared Y. Sanders, Congress
man from Louisiana and ex-gov-
ernor of his state, and addressed
to a veritable sea of upturned
heads that stretched out and
around the speakers platform at
the Lehigh Democratic county
meeting held at Dorney Park on
Saturday."

Stubs Says People Shou Id Choose Own
State Affairs,

Stubs Says People Shou Id Choose Owr
State Affairs.
. In speech delivered at Lafay-
cite Sept. 13. Colonel Frank P.
Stubs, candidate for governor.
attacked the appointive plan of
selecting members of the State
Board of Affairs. He said,
among other things:
/" l am unalterably opposed to
the principal of an appointive
State Board of affairs, which has
failed in carrying out many of
the promised tax reforms but on
the contrary has resulted thus
for only in increasing the tax
burdens of the people throughout
the state. The spectacle of hav-
ing our elective parish assessors
reduced to the status of a mere
clerk with authority to do more
than list the objects of taxation,
furnishes abundant food for
thaught, particularly so at a time
when our people have undertaken
heavy obligations in the form of
special taxes for roads, schools,
drainage and other distinctly,
local and necessary public i'm
provements.
Under the new system evol-
we'd by the present state admins
tration-the State Board of At
fairs appointed by the governor
values have been largely increas-
ed without corresponding reduc-
ton in the rate of levy as was
promised, and it is universally
the case that the burdens of the
individual taxpayer have been
increased rather than lightened
by the sponsors for the new ord
er of things, headed by the Hon.
L. E. Thomas.
In 1906, in response to a popu-
lar demand. the legislature in
in special session made the par
ish assessors elective. The ap-
pointive power power of the gov
ernor in the selection and ap-
pointment of assessors was then
recognized as undemocratic and
dangerous. Since that time as
SCISSORS have been elected by the
people. but during the present
administration there has come
into existence the State Board of
Affairs, composed of three men,
bers, all appointed by the pres
ent governor. and armed with
more autocratic power than all
the other boards, commissions
and elective officials of the state
combined, and vested with au-
thority that is supreme in mat
tiers of assessment and taxation
even to the extent of multiplying
the acts of the assessors elected
by the voters of your parish.
In consequence. the assessor
you have elected in an unimpor-
tant official without discretion or
power, and performs merely cler-
ical service this because he is
subservient to an appointive
State Board of Affairs possess
ing extraordinary powers.
1.-The principle involved in this
system is vicious and should be
corrected without delay.
That an appointive board, par
ticularly one whose entire mem
bership is appointed by one gov
ernor as is now the case, should
have supreme authority over
elective officials is unthinkable
and violative of the traditions OF
democracy.
As the matter now stands, the
taxpayer of Louisiana is a victim
of taxation without representa-.
ton, and as you recall our fore.

seems to be a dreadful epidemic af-
fecting our members. | suppose it
is the after-thewar germ of "I'm
Thru-enza."
Home service is quickly becoming
the test of the real qualities of orr
patriotism. In time of war the su-
preme test is whether or not one will
give his life for his country. In time
of peace the supreme test is how
much of his time, effort and thought
one will give for his community.
AS the home is the keystone of
society, SO home service is the key
stone of Red Gross service.
The spirit that prompted our fight
ing to take up the defense of that
most precious bit of his conntry-his
home, that same spirit prompted

to rally to the preservation of the
home.
Many of these men now return
ing to their homes disabled through
injury and disease. They left as
men. Are they now returning any
the less as men?
God forbid that we should ever
treat them as human waste. They may
be disabled fighting men, but the
can be able civilian men.

problems. How are we helping to
meet them?

CHURCHES NEW
 WORLD TASK

Rev. Alexander Allison. Jr.. talked on 'The Church's New Task in the World" at the morning service at the First Presbyterian church yesterday and said that Ut took the war to show us what Christ wanted to show us 2,00O years ago"
 He went on to point out that the internationalism as now being push ed was a strictly religious one. that an endeavor had been made to have all countries and nations one in God. but that the world had gotten away from His ideal. The first stage was the clan stage. from that to the com munity stage after which 1t went through the stages of state and na- tion. emerging from that into the stage of internationalism.
 The Kingdom of God is the solvent of international difficulties and the church has it's task in presenting this. as internationalism is Christian ideal.

Special to The Tfmes)

 Stratford July 7.---The sight of lit tie children coasting town the hill on Nichols avenue and King street is ob- jectionab1e to one of the residents of the town who has asked Selectman James Lally to see that the little boys and girls keep off the hills. The idea of this citizen is that the children may get hurt as they ride down the grade in their little wagons. Selectman 1ally asked the citizen who com plained just how he would stop the young folks from using these hills to coast on. The sclectman said that the only way he knew to stop the practice was to station a policeman on the hills but the town couri not spare one of the patrolmen at present for that work.
 The citizen suggested that signs be posted stating that arrests would be made of those who used the hills for coasting. When it was pointed out that the children who were the great est offenders in this matter of coast ing were very young. some of them not able to read yet and those who could not being of the age where they would not bother to read a sign. A sign would simply mean a target for boys to throw stones at said the mayor The matter now rests with the citizens whose duty is it to warn the chil3ren to be careful.
