1t was all IN TOR Democrats to
have Penn -an ms at their rally.
1t is all li to invite Pennsyl-
vanians t. H, to the Republican
meeting. is the Republican
way of lookip at the matter. They
tried to make big lot of fun of us
because several boat and train loads
of Pennsylvanians came here to do
honor to Hon. W. L. Wilson but now
they turn around and do everything
they can to get excursion rates for
the Keystone protectionists to come
here. All this is so.
QUITE a number of people will ac-
company the University foot ball
team to Connellsville next Saturday,
where they will line up against the
team of the Coke capital. There is
more local interest in the sport this
season than formerly as the rules
have been modified considerable since
last season, making the style of play
more open and consequently more in
teresting to the spectators. There
is more running and more kicking
the ball. No momentum or mass
plays are allowed, nor is the oppos-
ing line allowed to pile up on the
player who is downed with the ball
The game on Saturday promises to
be great.
LAST week three men were here
who wanted to rent business rooms
to engage in various lines of trade
and could not get them. Within a
few months there will be half doz-
en- more business rooms added to the
list here, and they will be taken at
once. There seems always to be
room for another one here, no matter
what the particular branch of bust
ness started. The demand always
has been greater than the supply in
the matter of all kinds of buildings.
A vacant dwelling house is always a
rarity also. Building goes constant
y ahead and as soon as a house is
finished there is some one to move
into it. If there was the same ener-
gy displayed in acquiring new in
dustriel enterprises the town would
have healthier basis for growth.
NOTHING has been made public
concerning the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Pennsylvania railroad
at Philadelphia, which was called
for the purpose of considering the
project of extending the railroad
from Brownsville to this place on
the west side. This silence on the
part of the road, the failure to di-
vulge Just what was done at the
meeting makes the prospect even
brighter than before the meeting
that the project will be realized.
That is the way with railroads.
In the matter of great building OPP
erations they keep their own coun-
sci until almost near the time when
actual operations begin, but in a
failure to decide the public soon
kaows all about it, The Pennsyl-
vania directors certainly held star
chamber session, and when a rail
road wants the city papers and the
associated press to keep still it has
a persuasive method Of carving
out its wishes. The meeting was
held. The city papers got nothing
about it. So there was something
extremely important done at that
meeting
