ments of evidence essential to convic-
tions, possesses power which in incom-
petent or dishonest hands nullifies the
sanctity of our courts and constitutes
a menace to every citizen. 1t is vitality
important, therefore, that the holder
Of this influential and difficult office
should be both a skilled lawyer and
clean-cut, straightforward man Of af-
fairs, in whom every upright person
may repose complete confidence.
Such man the Republicans of our
county by a flattering plurality vote
have nominated in the person of Will
lam r. Lewis. He is as straight as
gun barrel, and as keen as fox.
Young, alert and energetic, he typifies
the best blood in our younger, Repub-
licanism and attracts to his support
every admirer of ability and charac-
ter. He has been long enough in the
law to prove his mettle. He is thor
oughly familiar with the workings of
the courts. He knows the county, it's
people and conditions, and he is un-
trammeled. A vote for William r.
Lewis for district attorney will be
vote for justice.

JOHN COPELAND.

When political parties, which are
only organizations of the sovereign
people, present to the public candi-
dates for approval for any particular
office or trust it is incumbent upon
them to state clearly and plainly the
reasons which actuate them in their
choice. This is the peoples right and
experience has taught and political
parties recognize that in a wise selec-
tion of candidates lies the principal
element of success at the polls.
The candidacy of John Copeland, Of
Carbondale. for the office of prothono-
tary, for second term. was the re-
suit of the wisdom of the Republican
party as expressed at the county pri-
maries. and therein the party made no
mistake.
Mr.. Copeland belongs to that sturdy
class of citizens who nowadays are
called self-made men; that is men,
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-27

who. with but few early advantages,
by untiring energy and steadfast in
tegrity have acquired well-deserved
prominence in life. He comes Of that
sturdy Scotch ancestry which has ev-
erywhere shown itself in the progress
sive development Of our country. He
was born in Scotland. His father.
James Copeland, came to Carbondale
before the sixties and immediatel
found employment with the Delaware
& Hudson Canal company, in which he
remained until his voluntary retire.
ment several years ago.
Up to the age Of 13 John Copeland
attended the public schools of Car
bondale. He was the eldest of a large
family, and at that age left school and
became trainman or runner on the
old Gravity road. He continued in
that position for a number of years,
aiding in the support of the family
and at the same time diligently fit
ting himself for a better position, an
opportunity for which he found in the
night schools.
Such was the early life Of John Cope
land. Later he became a brakeman
and then conductor on the locomo-
tive road between Scranton and Car
bondale. In 1873 he was appointed
general yardmaster of the Carbondale
yard, having full charge of all trains,
both Erie and Delaware & Hudson.
Mr.. Copeland's elevation from run
ner" on the Gravity to brakeman. then
conductor. and finally to the respons-
ible position of general yardmaster.
was solely the result of merit. In all
his varied experience in life he has
never failed to do his duty to his en-
ployers, and throughout his whole life
his relations with his fellow railroad
men have always been the most cor
dial.
These are some of the reasons which
actuated the Republican county con-
vention three years ago in their choice
of John Copeland as prothonotary. He
was elected to that Office on Nov. 2.
1897, by handsome plurality. securing
the party vote all through Lackawanna
county and a goodly portion of Demo-

JOSEPH A., SCRANTON,

Hon. Joseph A. Scranton, the Re-
publican candidate for the office of
county treasurer, comes before the
people this year with a record of one
third of century in the service of his
party and the public in general. MI.
Scranton's career in politics is almost
contemporary with the history of the
/, nblican party in this section of the
stale. Wncr he asrcused the cause of
Republicanism and commenced to de-
vote his personal energies and the re-
sources of his newspaper to the propa-
cation of Republican principles, old
Luzerne county, which comprised what
is now Lackawanna, was hopelessly
Democratic. Probably no individual
had more to do with changing these
condition than Mr.. Scranton. For
years he led the forlorn hope until at
last it was not so forlorn, and it final
ly became triumphant.
No person is entitled to more credit
than he for the evangelization of this
section in the interests of Republican,
ism. Now that the party is the domi-
nant factor in our politics 1t is diff
cult to realize what it meant to be
Republican when the old county rolled
up it's majorities of six and seven
thousand for Democracy.
Aside from his party service Mr..
Scranton presents a record OF ten
years in congress, during which time
he left nothing undone to advance the
interests of this district. His career
in congress was at a great personal
sacrifice. While it was post of hon.
or, it cannot be said to have been one
of emolument. BY his service in the
national legislature Mr.. Scranton in
creased the obligations of the people
of the county to him. These obliga-
tions may be paid in small degree
by electing him to the Office for which
his party has nominated him. No
man on the ticket has stronger claim
for the hearty support of the Repub-
licans of this county than Mr.. Scran-
ton.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-27

public schools of this city when cir
cumstances required him to earn a
livelihood. For two years after leav-
ing the public schools he was employed
in and about the Woodward mines in
Kingston.
In 1884 he entered the Bloomsbury
State Normal school, from which in
stitution he graduated in 1886. In the
fall of 1886 Mr.. Lewis entered the pro-
thonotary's office of Lackawanna coun-
ty during T. H. Dale's incumbency and
remained in his employ as deputy un-
til his retirement from that office on
the first Monday in January, 1892. His
leisure moments during his employ
ment in the prothonotary's office were
devoted to the study of law under
Messrs Gunster & Welles After leav-
ing the prothonotarys office he devot-
de his entire time and attention to the
reading of law under the direction of
Hon. Alfred Hand and William ].
Hand, esq.,, and was admitted to the
practice of law in this county in Sep
tember, 1898.
On the first day of January, 1894, he,
with H. L. Taylor, esq.,, organized the
successful firm of Taylor & Lewis. Mr.
Lewis is also a member of the Su-
perior and Supreme courts of Pennsyl-
vania and of the United States Circuit
court. He has always been an ener-
getic and consistent Republican.
No citizen who has been an attentive
observer of the process of justice as
administered in our criminal courts
needs to be told that the district at
torneyship is an Office of the very first
Importance. The man who holds it Is
practically the master of the fate of
persons charged with crimes. Upon
his honesty diligence and professional
skill depend to a large extent whether
the guilty shall be punished or the in
nocent go free.
The jury, it is true, passes finally on
all questions of fact; but the jury can
consider only such facts as are placed
before it. The district attorney. with

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
List OF Fatalities asst Year Consia.
srably Lower Than for r
viOus Year.

The annual report Of the supervising
inspector general Of steamboats,. which
has just been made public IN the form
of an abstract, con,aiLs n highly inter-
esting exhibit of Che numbers of lives
lost at sea from American vessels dur
ing the last calendar year, together
with other important correlated infor-
nation. IL appears from this document
that the total number of persons
drowned, or who came 10 their death in
other ways, was 404, which is a consid-
cradle increase over the previous year,
when the aggregate of fatalities was
1873 less. This increase was due to the
laundering of the steamer Portland of
the Massachusetts, coast during the
great gale on the night of November 81,
1898. Every one Of the 1877 persons on
board persisted.
OF the total Of 404 sc fatalities were
chargeable to accidental drowning, 2l3
persons went down with wrecks, Ia
succumbed to fires, 81 were killed in
collisions, "a were the victims of ex
plosions or of accidental escape OF
steam, and in 81 cases miscellaneous
causes were reported.
The chapter on destruction Of vessel
property shows that As vessels met with
accidents, seven had fires. 10 were In
collision, eight experienced a breaking
of steam pipes, two had explosions and
1s encountered snags and wrecks OF
developed leaks. As the duty of the
supervising inspector generals office il
to ascertain whether steam vessels have
complied with all the safety require
ments in the matter of l~iye-saving appli
ances and relative to the condition o,
boilers the report may be considered 9
favorable exhibit. The destruction OF
the Portland was not due TO laxness or
the part of inspectors, but to the reck
lessness of her captain, who insisted OF
putting out to sea in the teeth of a fierc,
storm.
Except for this disaster, the loss o.
life would have been comparatively
small. Only two vessels were damaged
by ex~plosions-an excellent record con
sidering the extent Of steam wstel
