Isaiah, most brilliant of the Old Testament poets, left many bright sayings on record, but nothing su perior to his denunciation of the drink habit. This was the first temperance sermon ever delivered and Isaiah was the first prohibition agitator. The Israelites, as their history shbws, suffered much from the vice of intoxication. Noah Was scarcely off his ark until he be came beastly drunk. Fine fellow to start a new race with. It was because of their debauch at Shit / tim with the Moabite women that "Jehovah's wrath was kibdled" against the Tioters and to this drunken orgy was due the subse quent extermination of the Midian ltes. This first "salocn row," as it may well be called, was the prime cause of the most brutal, cruel and inexcusable war recorded in the history of the ' 'chosen peo ple." After they had settled in Palestine, grape raising was the principal agricultural industry, and they drank entirely too much of their own wine. By the time of Isaiah, which was in the eight cen tury B. C., it is evident that drunk euess in its worst form was Iriaroi ingly prevalent. It will be noticed iif the extract above that not only the people, but the priests and prophets, were addicted to strong drink and severely denounced by the old temperance reformer. Twenty seven eventful centuries have passed since Isaiah delivered his sermon on the "Woes of Drunk eness," and we are still fighting the sama awful curse. The twen tieth century sees * battle royal in progress between the people of the United States and the entreucb ep forces of intoxicating liquor. Never before were the prospects so bright for victory over the "demon of the still." The coils are being closed around the monster in every State of the Union, and it is hoped in time that the life may be cboked.-out of him entirely. The temperance laws grow more and more drastic, and ' the determination of the masses of the people for their enforcement becomes stronger everV day. With in the last tew months three Cir cuit Conrt Judges in Indiana have decided that the saloon is a. nui sance, a foe of peace and 'morals, and that the State has no right to license it any more than it wohld have a right to license murder. ; What is still more remarkable, gy two Boards of County Commissi oners have refused to license .sal oons on the same ground. It is pleasing to note that far mers aa a class are overwhelming ly on the side ot sobriety ia this titanic struggle against the chief foe of mankind and principal obstruction in the pathway of civi-' lizatiou. The rural districts are practically all anti aaloon, and have either driven it out or are prating to do 00. S*»n th«* abominations will be confined ex - x . v. . clusively to the large cities There, we are sorry to the vice still lingers iu its worst form. Go to any fashionable hotel between the hours of 11 and 3 o'clock and you will find well-dressed men and women iff the cafes, eating and drinking. There around the mid night table, enthroned between Bacchus and Venus, druukeu men hic-cough out immoral arguments and obscene jests. There sharpers and bullies and hard-hearted, impudent debauches nightly hold forth foi the edifica tion of the rising generation. Here may be seen beardless youths; still in college, reeling around the wine gfaSfc-while women ot ques tionable Character indulge in weak laughter ana, maudlin applause. Here the night-rounders, "men of the world," the libertine and the roue, lie in wait for the vic tims that are to be baited with wine There are many Evelyn Thaw s who are not ftfund out, who do not get into the courts as the result of murder. In every great city of this Union there are to be found fashionable dens, *s infamous as that of Stanford White, where drunken orgies are indulged in by men and women with foreheads of bronze, hearts as hard as the neth er millstone and tongues set on fire of hell.—American Farmer.

( After Halstead Murry and Rog* , er Barnes left school, they each ; applied for a place iu the First j National Bank, in Hughestown, the small city, where they lived. Roger got the place and ar ound to (ell Halstead about it. "Sorry for you, old fallow," he , said cheerfully, "bnt there was only one place, you see, and I had" the pull. You know Mr. Stevens is one of the directors, and my uncle worked for him for years. Uncle Sam satd a good word for me, and there I am." Mr. Murry was -blacking his shoes wheu Halstead told him about Roger's visit. He finished the sideof the shoe he was nibbing, and then, as he dipped his brush in the blacking box again, he ask ed with a quizzical smile. "What , did you say to that?" "Why," Hal laughed, a little, "I said I was glad for him. That r was all. There seemed to be nothing else to say." "That's right," said his father, , aa he fell to rubbing the second , shoe. "We'll have to trv to catch hold of some other rope, boy." But no other opening appeared, . and Halstead was feeling rather , blue, when he received a cartf ask ing him to call at the bank, one day. He went promptly, and came back with the great news that Robert had left, and he was ! engaged in Roger's place. A week afterwards he found his , cousin Clara at the table when he I came home, a little late to dinner. 1 "How's banking?" she began. 1 "I can only tell you alxmt ice 1 banks," returned Hal, cutting his beef, soberly. "I'm an Ice-chop -1 per, ma'atn. Been at it all morn ' in*-" 1 Clara looked puzzled. "Why. | your mother said you'd gone into I the Fiist National. What do you mean?" I "I'm hardly in," he said, "I'm ' rather an outside clearing house. It's stormed nearly all the time for . a week, you know, and my part of the banking business is to keep the ) bank steps and side walk cleared." Clara smiled. "I see," she said, ' "begining at the lowest round!, and I all that sort of thing. Too low r down for Roger, wasn't it?" "Roger says," replied Hal, ' "that he told Mr. Peters that he . could shovel snovy anywhere. He. r came there to learn banking." "How about you?" Clara per sisted. Halstead hesitated, then he J opened his watc(i at the back and t passed it acrott* the table.

C., FRIDAY, JUNE 14 1907 Ttxt ol the Plank Indorsing P. C* • KMX. Harrisburg, Pa., June 6.—The plants in the platform indorsing Senator Knox for the presidency is as follows: ' Pennsylvania has just pride in presenting to her sister states as a worthy successor to Theodore Roosevelt her distinguished son, who from the beginning was fore most in counsel aud most effective in practical support of the policies for the regulation of corporate power J»as so endeared the ntnmt to the people of this country. It was Philander Chase Knox who in 1902 pointed out that an amendment to the constitution of the United State was unnecessary to enable Congress to redress the wrongful exercise ot power by cor porations in their relation to inter state commerce, and who made that opinion good by the legal proceedings which he successfully prosecuted for the violation of the interstate coinmerca and antitrust laws of the nation; and also by the amendments to those laws whicn he recommended and prepared and which subsequently met the ap proval of Congress. "The record of Philander Chase Knox is a matter of history. Of him President Roosevelt said in his speech at the dedication of the new state capitol in October, 1906: During the last few years the nat ional government has taken very strong strides in the direction of exercising and securing adeduate control over the great corporations, and it was under the leadership of one of the most honored public men in our country, one Penn sylvania's most eminent sous, the present senator aud then Attorney- Oeueral Knox that the new de parture was begun. .. " "We are prohd, of Mr. Knox's resord as attorneyNgeneral. We are proud of his recorH as senator, in which office he is displaying the same qualities of patriotism, integ rity and the devotion of his abilities to the cause of good government and good citizenship. His capacity and experience, his motives and purposes, his high character in public and private life fit him for the highest office. ' Believing in him aud support ing him earnestly as we do we hereby indorse him 011 behalf of the Republican party of this com monwealth for the great office of President of the United States, anj we have the honor of present ing-him now to the Republicans of our sister states as Pennsylvania's candidate for the presidency be fore the Republican nomination convention in June, 1908." Senator Pox, «who is stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria, learned to night of his indorsement by the Harrisburg convention, though the press despatches. Having read these, including an abstract of the, platform adopted, he said to a re porter: "I am deeply sensible of the great honor done me by fallow- Republicans of Penusylvauia. "In their convention, composed ot delegates elected directly by the peoble, they have increased my many obligations to them by coup ling with the indorsement ot the administration of Theodore Roose velt the suggestion of ray name as his successor. "I note the convention's reference to the fact that as attorney-general and senator was privileged to aid in the formulation and carrying Sqto legislation and judicial decis ion those just policies for the pro tection of the peoble which have so greatly endeared President* Roos velt to the people. I valne tW ac tion of the convention approving such public service as I have been enabled to render in the past with a satisfaction not exceeded by my gratitude for the unsolicited pledge of support for higher honors and graver duties for the future.
