Clarence declares that his father came

RUGGED HONESTY IS
A FAMILY TRAIT
His Father Was a Mayor of Carbon
dale, Penn, as Was Also His Uncle
Both Have Enviable Records as
Public oficials-Paper Points With
Pride to His Character.

The Scranton (Pa) Republican. in a
recent issue. takes up the cause OF John
Brennan. now of Gary. and pushes his
candidacy for the mayoralty of the city.
While stating that he would make a
most efficient mayor for the wonderful
new steel city of the west, the paper
gives a little of his family history,
showing in what esteem he and his
family have been held IN their native
city.
One of the chief virtues which they
attribute to Mr.. Brennan is his rugged
honesty, and the honesty of all his fore
fathers, an attribute to his character
which is especially appreciated in a cam
didate for public office in Pennsylvania.
The following is the commentary
which appeared in the Republican" one
of Pennsylvania largest dailies:
From the Republican.
"A recent issue of the Gary Evening
Times announces the candidacy Of John
Brennan for the mayoralty of that city.
Gary is the new steel town in Indiana
in which the United States steel cor
poration is spending millions of dollars
in the erection of the largest steel plant
in the world The city has had a sub
stantial. Phenomenal growth and prom
ises to be one of the richest industrial
lcenters in the country.
I'VE speak of Mr.. Brennan's candi-
dacy because Mr. Brennan is a Car
lbondale boy. He was born here and
lived out his young manhood in the old
city. His family is here still, enjoying
the confidence and respect that come
whose rugged honesty and fine char
acter we still remember, was mayor of
Carbonate. His uncle the late Cap
tain William Brennan, who left his inn
press on the history of the city. in a
record of honesty and extensive indus
trial achievement such as none of his
successors has reached, was our first
clerk of the courts, then mayor and aft
erwards represented this district in the
state legislature.
IF there is anything in hereditary
predisposition John Brennan ought to
lcome into the mayors Office out in Gary
with a tact that should serve him we'll.
We know him here and we know that
he is clever and clean, full of the right
| kind of ambition and splendid citizen
, to put into the mayors office of any
city. He is identified with the business
, development of the new steel town, has
good many dollars invested in it's
real estate. and would, therefore, have
an interest in the city beyond any tenn
porary political advantages that his
election might carry with it.
The Gary Times says that Mr.. Bren>
nan leads in the race. that he is popular
with all classes and that he has always
identified himself with any project de-
signed to develop the city. That is a
strong recommendation, SO strong in
deed. that it ought to make Mn Bren-
nan the next mayor of Gary"

Holmes Centenary Observed.

Scrawled in pencil in a musty fal M
er's almanac Aug 20, 1909" was the
simple inscription that recorded the
arrival in the world, 100 years ago, OF
Oliver Wendell Holmes, poet edu-
Gator and humorist, the centenary
of whose birth was observed very
quietly in this vicinity.
The only observance was SER
vice held in Kings chapel on fremont
street, where DR.. Holmes regularly
attended for many years prior to his
death, which occurred Oct. 10, 1894.
Many Of his hymns were sung by the
choir and an address was given by
the Rev. Charles +. st. John of Phil
adelphia.
At the Boston public library, an ex-
hibition of Holmes works, portraits,
scenes connected with his life, treas
ures and relics were shown.

Would Shift Burden.

A law that will compel all the coun-
tries in the State to take care Of their
own "drunks" as far as their main
tenance is concerned, is in the opinion
OF Deputy Penal Institutions Commits
sioner Carruth, the best way to re-
lieve Boston from the burden it has
TO bear as the result of the thirst
tendency Of its visiting population
Deputy Carruth would have all
"drunks" who reside in other countries
and who have been sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment in this city
sent to the jails of their respective
countries.
Mr.. Carruth states that this would
prevent the overcrowded conditions
that have for months the order OF
things at Deer Island.
He stated that out of every 100
prisoners sent to Deer Island for
drunkenness 35 reside in other coun-
tries. 1t costs Boston $l36 a year for
every prisoner kept at Deer Island,
he says.

Work on Mills Commenced.

The first work on the construction
OF the big S5,000,000 Maverick wooden
mills in East Boston has been COM
menced. In an interview Eugene ~.
Foss, at the head of the enterprise,
said that there would be no let-up in
the work until it was completed
The mills will be located along
Chelsea Creek. and when the entire
plant is completed about 5000 hands
will be employed. When the first
mill is completed, employment will
be furnished TO about 1000 hands.
The idea Of construction is TO have a
central power plant and group the
mills about it in the most modern
method.
The directors have secured the ser.
vices of Robert Burgess, of the Bur-
CESS mills, as manager and the new
mills will be, when started, in the
forefront OF wooden mills in the coun-
try. The mills will occupy an acreage
OF SO acres.
The plant will be enlarged as soon
as it is deemed profitable. 1t is only
twelve minutes ride from the centre
of the city.

Want More Storm SIGNALS.

AS result OF the recent storms, In
which many sail boats have been cap
sized in Boston harbor, there is a gen.
eral demand on the part Of owners of
small craft for better storm signal
service.
A prominent member of a Boston
yacht club said the other day: What
we need is a system OF signalling
from the weather bureau which will
enable people cruising in and about
the harbor to know when a storm is
approaching.
There is now floating life saving
station in Dorchester Bay where storm
vance. Near bingham Light is another
set of signals.
On the shore near Marblehead is a
flag pole from which the signals are
displayed. At Fort Revere, at Prov
incetown and at Race Point are other
stations. All these stations are in con-
nection with the weather bureau and
receive the danger signals "a hours
In advance of the storms.
AT the weather bureau it was said
that the addition of other flag stations
for signals, while desirable in a gen
eral sense, would not remove the
chief difficulty of inexperienced
yachtsmen-that never have been in
charge of sailing boat.
81 personally favor the adding of
many more stations or points where
signals may be set for those in small
sail boats" said Lieutenant Randolph
Ridgely, who is detailed as assistant
inspector of life saving stations in
Boston. Practically all a yacht club
must do to get the government SER
vice of information is to petition Con
gress. The Dorchester club secured
its privilege by a petition"

The Woman's Homestead Associa-
tion adopted a resolution at a recent
meeting which they intend Siall com

appeal to the citizens of Boston TO help

OF the organization, the association
has already taken part with the Watch
and Ward Society to secure convic-

circular which they have issued are
given the comparative expenses of
education and crime TO the State Mrs
Smith, speaking from experience in
the large cities of the country where
she has come into contact with the
so-called "traffic," states that in her
opinion matters are assuming more
and more grave an appearance.
The object of the Investigations in
this city, where, Mrs. Smith declares,
there are in the South End alone 1000
families living in single rooms the
year around, is to show that children

Everybody Happy.

Going on a hunt for happiest Bos'
ton on hot nights leads on strange
trails. People in the parks are apt TO
be just negatively content that at
last the sun has stopped shin
ing. People in the streets are hurry
ing that they may get out of town
as soon as possible-to them hap
piest Boston" is an impossibility, as
IL is happiest Winthrop or Revere.
But in one part Of the city there is
no disgust, no mere passive well-be-
ing. There is utter delight in living
under the stars and cool twilight, in
frolicking in a world where softest
shadows and lights do their utmost
TO hide ugliness. The time and the
place of North end play are summer
nights and the streets.
Literally, everybodys happy-thats
one of the chiefest joys Of it. The
whole family have their playtme. OF
course, they don't all do the same
things, but they are all TO a certain
extent, together, and nobody's left
indoors to work or lose the fun.
Like gayly colored prints of Neapol-
itan stradas the North end streets
seem. Even the newest, ugliest Ameri-
can lodging houses take on mysterious
curves and TINS of shadow. Prosaic
daytime alleys change in the evening
dimness 10 shadowy walled PASSAGES
leading to secret hunts of romance or
tragedy. Here and there, gay streak
OF curtain in some room where
light shows accentuates still more the
queer southern flavor of it all.
The most adventurous OF the young
sters flock down to the beach, too, on
hot nights in summer dragging by the
hand weary and half-reluctant madres
or skipping venturesomely all alone.
They wriggle in the cool sand, they
doff shoes and stockings and take
swim in four inches Of water, AL
ways they keep gloriously cool and
are perhaps the happiest of the happy
North enders.
