she returned, she found him dead
Ills last words to his nephew, Harry

born in Ohio, but his father moved to
Indiana IN 1922. lie was 66 years
old at the time of his death. The
country sustains great loss in the
demise Of Mr.. Hendricks, and the
Democratic party is deprived of one
OF its noblest and most illustrious de-
tenders. He was the very embodi-
ment Of truth and honor. At this
juncturc Of Democratic reign, his
death is serious calamity. The
Senate having "A republican majority,
will of course elect Republican
presiding officer, who by virtue of
that office becomes acting Vice Pres

lands death, would be his successor
to the Presidency, until Congress

THE WORTH OF A MAN

There is no lesson we would i'm
press upon the young readers of the
MARIETTA JOURNAL more profoundly
than that poverty and good name
are infinitely more desirable than
great gain at the expense of a de-
bauched conscience and sullied hon
or. The true worth of man consists
not in moneyed possessions, personal
adornment, magnificent mansions,
tiashy displays, and gaudy equipages,
but it is based on character. A man
may be successful in deception, and
pass as genuine coin, but sooner or
later the ring of the counterfeit is
detected, and then comes retribution.
There is no escape from Conscience,
Record, Godn' Physical prowess,
mental achievement, aesthetic taste
and cultured graces may be possessed
by man in all their fullness, but il
there is lacking the attributes of a
noble, manly, character, founded
upon the immutable principles o.
honor, truth and justice, then the
superstructure is rotten and must O
its own weight of iniquity tumble t.
the ground. Character makes tn,
man in this life and fixes his destiny
in the life to come.

COMING SOUTH.

Three hundred Italian laborers ar
rived in Charleston, S. G. They are
believed to be the first foreign labor
ers sent South from Eastern Penn
sylyania, and hundreds are preparing
to follow them to various Southern
States. They are promised 1925 to
81 per day, and it is believed that
the climate Of the South will suit
them better than that of the North.
The indications are that great ex-
odus of Italians, Poles and Hunga-
rlans will take place from Eastern
Pennsylvania this winter, and that
most Of them willgo South. Reading
(Pa.) Special.
They are not a very desirable class
of population. They come imbued
with communistic ideas, foreign to
the spirit of our Republican form of
government, and they are frequently
the lnstlgators OF strikes and strife,
antagonizing labor against capital and
doing great deal of mischief. The
colored man, raised in the South, is
a much more tractable and obedient
citizen. While many of the latter
are thriftless and indolent, yet they
do not incite riots and strikes. The
Italians and Poles are the ones who
massacreed the Chinese in Wvomino
Territory few weeks ago. 1t was
not our American born citizens, who
acted so inhumanely, and therefore
we do not know whether to congratu-
late Charleston on the accession of
these Italians and Poles to her popu-
lation or not. And it may be they
will come down here and massacre
the negroes as distasteful competi-
tors.

PROHIBITION CARRIES ATLANTA.

The great battle has been fought

rious result for which the people
prayed and worked. Let the Lord
be praised and all the people bless
His holy name.

HE DIDN'T DECKER.
From the Lewiston journal


1t is related of Gen. S. J. Ander-
son, the new Collector of Customs at
Portland, that he was approached not
long ago by a man who wanted to
swap horses with him. The General
thought he would trade, but the 9TH
er mans horse was better than his,
and he did not know how much boot
to offer. So he asked an acquain-
lance, who is well-informed horse
man, to see the horse, and tell him
how much difference there might be.
The friend reported that the other
man horse was worth $50 more than
the Generals. but" said he, "as
he is anxious to swap, | think he'll
take $50 or $40 to boot if you offer il
to him.
Il shan't do any such thing" said
the General. 'EIf his horse is worth
$50 more than mine, as you say, III
give it to him. I'll be-if I'm go
ing to make a horse jockey of my
self"
He gave the man $50 to boot.

THE SUCCESSION.

The sudden death of Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks leaves the govern
ment of the United States in a bad
fix. But one life, that of President
Cleveland, stands between the peo-
pie and a condition of matters likely
to result seriously. There is no legi-
innate successor to President Cleve-
land, and if he should die tomorrow
there would be no one who would have
the right to ia Ike his seat. This omis-
sion in our organic law is deplorable
it has been known for years, and
more than once has been the subject
of discussion in Congress. But no
action has ever been taken upon il
for the reason perhaps that Congress
does not like as a rule to take action
upon important questions. The
death of Mr.. Hendricks brings the
matter again into prominence and
perhaps Congress at its session Mex
Monday may look into the question

NOT DESIRABLE.

Many OF those who give up com
Portable positions for places at Wash
ington under the government, do
not find the change to be as agree
able as they expected it would be.
Mr.. James Conoly, of Buffalo, New
T., who was editor of little paper
in that city, thought he would like
Washington life. He easily secured
the place of appointment clerk of the
Post Office Department, which pays
him 81 300 a year. He doesn't think
so much Of small government offices
at Washington as he did before he
was appointed to one. This is what
he says about them "a man is a
fool to give up good place at any
thing else for government position.

A NOTABLE WOMAN.

There lived in the town of Glaston-
bury, Connecticut, two women, who
will long be remembered as martyrs,
so to speak, for principle. The re-
cent death of one of these sisters
freshened public recollection OF their
singular career. These ladies, named
Smith, and quite old, about nine years
ago, refused to pay taxes because not
allowed to vote. Their thoroughbred
COWS were sold by the Sheriff, and
this was so often repeated that no
cows in New England were so ia
nous as those of Abby and Julia
Smith. The record of these remark
able Smiths is singularly interviewer
with fateful number, seven. 1t is
recorded that once in seven years
there is a death among them. Seven
years ago Abby Smith died, and at
intervals of seven years each of three
brothers and sisters and her mother
died, while fourteen years elapsed
between the deaths of her father and
mother. At the expiration of the
seventh year from the death of her
sister, Julia died at the age of "a.
She was wonderfully preserved, in
body and mind, but an accident to
her hip was the immediate cause of
dissolution. Miss Julia Smith, when
much over 80, consented to marry an
octogenarian named Parker, who ad-
mired her "spunk" and offered to be
her protector in the tax controversy.

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy

Rise like fountain for me night and day;
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish blind life within the brain,
If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them
friends?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God
