Charles A, Dana

1t is coincidence that the two great
est journalists of modern times. Gree
ley and Dana, were reared to fame in
one office. The former made history:
the latter moulded thought. Greelev's
grip was on politics. Politics was
Dana's weakest hold: but into most
of the other activities Of his time he
projected ideas which vitalized and in
some degree reconstructed American
progress.
There were few occasions when the
founder of the Sun stood in touch with
his political surroundings; and a
curious intensity of personal prejudice
biased much of his discussion of his
contemporaries. But on the other hand
no other influence was half so vital
half so courageous, half so imperiaI
as his for AmerCanisrl, for optimism
In estimating American tendencies, and
for directness in processes Of express
sion. If Greeley dominated congresses
and executives, then Dana surely dom
mated the journalism of his day, gave
principle and impulse 10 its ways and
means, and reflected himself through
conscious or unconscious pupils upon
the whole circle of American thought.
sense of loss at this mans death
will be keenly experienced by millions
who would be perplexed if asked to give
specific reasons for it. Tha man him
self, as a man, was little known to
the multitude. The man as reflected in
the Sun was seldom winsome or ten

head or brulsing a foible. And yet this
virile and uncompromising, this pug

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Railway Employees Journal.

Railway Employees Journal.
Among the many excellent candidates
nominated this year, there is non upon
either ticket who stands closer to the peo-
pie than does Clarence L. Pryor, the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff. In spirit
and in thought he Is with, of and for the
people. He was born in Hanover town
ship, Luzerne county, April l, 1915. He be-
gan life by running a mine engine, and
from his wages saved enough money to
pay for a course at LoWelps Commercial
college in Binghamton, n. Y. He gradu-
ated in 1864 and came to Scranton, where
he has resided for the last thirty-three
years. Mr.. Pryor is the present prothono-
tary, and his record in that office is one
to be proud of. A careful, courteous,
painstaking official, he has given the office
his personal attention, and by his kind
ness and readiness to do faVors for all
has won a warm spot in the hearts of all
who have had dealings with him. Never
rising above his position and always re-
membering that the people elect him, he
is the same after election as before: 10
matter when you meet him, he is always
the same A good fellow by nature, il Is
no effort for him to be agreeable. He
stands before the people as n righteous
citizen and an upright servant, against
whom even his political opponents can
say nothing. Never forgetting a friend,
forgiving his enemies, faithful in office
and upright in character, he asks your
support today for the office of sheriff, an
office that he possesses the qualifications
to fill in every respect. Our advice to the
voters of Lackawanna county is to vote
for Clarence T.. Pryor.

GOMEZ ON AUTONOMY.
From His Latest Proclamation.

From His Latest Proclamation.
We offer to Cuba. the splendid spectacle
of our unconquerable determination to
free her or die. The Spaniards are pre-
pairing themselves for the winter cam
pdign, and so are we. We desire to prove
that a political charge of cabinet in
Spain is nothing to It's, because we are
not fighting for Spanish political parties
but for Cuba against Spain. Reforms,
autonomy, and all other shameful ar
rangements concOcted among a dozen Gu
ban poltroCns in Havana and the now
Spanish cabinet will hot influence us in
the least. The Spaniards may reward the
treachery of a few Cubans with offices
and allege that the Autonomists represent
the Cuban people, but they know that
they are lying. This revolution was not
made by the Autonomists of Havana, but
against their will. Therefore, what these
allies of Spain may do now does not
change the situation in Cuba.
My words are supported by the example
of my whole life. l have devoted all my
existence to the freedom of Cuba, and
have never yielded to the Spanish. The
same record is that of all the major gem
erals in the Cuban army. On what can
be grounded the belief that, after twelve
years of struggling against Spain in the
fled, and after our lifelong hatred of her,
we are going, at the end of the record of
which we are so proud, to enter upon das-
tardly negotiations with our enemies? If
my history is not enough to convince all
that I will scornfully reject any propos-
ais which do not mean the freedom of
Cuba, l swear on the sacred memory of
my son, assassiEated by the Spaniards
at Punta Bravo, that I will die before
will surrender to Spain. My sons last
words were for free Cuba. l will not
cover my name with shame after the no
BILE example he has beuueathed to me-
Cubans! Hope and courage! Spain rep
resents injustice and crime. If the whole
world consplres to help Spain, the whole
world will not win Cuba. The cause CT
Cuba is the cause of justice and honor,
and God is with us!
