HOME FOLKS LIKE rENER.

When the neighbors with whom a
man has lived for a good many
years, and who know him with the
intimacy which is unavoidable in a
small town, speak well of him, It
means something. He must be a
pretty respectable Kind of citizen II
he has retained their respect and
confidence. The opening of the Re-
publican state campaign at Charleroi
Saturday night showed John X. Ten
er at home with his neighbors. To
be true, there were several thousand
there from adjoining counties, but
the main portion of the crowd that
clogged the town was from Mononga-
hela valley. There were many DEM
ocrats who came to add their con-
gratulations along with the Repub-
lican majority. In his address Mr..
Tener wisely refrained from talking
about the issues of the campaign,
saying that this was a meeting of
friends and politics might wait. He
impressed visitors with the same con-
fidence in his sturdy manhood that
carried Harrisburg by storm when
he was nominated for the governor
ship. At home everyone likes him
and everyone has confidence in him,
which is a good criterion by which
to judge any man. We believe that
his campaign will make him a null
titude of friends and bring triumph
ant success at it's conclusion.-Ed
torial in Titusville Herald.

ginal charter, and provided that upon
such conveyance the Washington
Coal company should be deemed to
be merged and disposed.
Construction of the Pennsylvania
gravity railroad began in 1S47 and
was completed in May, 1850. The
road was abandoned in the winter
of 1885, when the Erie and Wyo-
ming, a steam road, took it's place."
George Turner, custodian of the
Erie offices at No. 6, died last July.
He was born in Lake township and
carried water for Contractor McCoy's
men when the Pennsylvania gravity
was built. When he reached man
hood he became a runner on one of
the Hawley trains.
William Roach of Hawley
died two weeks ago at Big
pond, where he was taking his
vacation. Father and three sons in
this family were employed on the
gravity. One son was killed by fall
ing between the cars. The father
lost both legs. Another son was
killed while the Wyoming branch of
the Erie was being built. William
Roach lost both legs in a railroad
accident.
Daniel L. Smith, the engineer who
was killed in a collision of Erie pas
senger trains near Ariel, in "grav-
ity" days lived at No. 4, near Rocky
Glen, and was runner on the No.
trains.

state like Oklahoma" says Gov. Has
kell. Is the governor boasting or
apologizing ng?-Hawley Times.
We do not know whether the gov
ernor means to apologize for Oklo-
homa or for HASKELL-but it
ought to be for HASKELL, the
crooked national treasurer of the
1908 BRYAN campaign and the man
who never yet has explained how he
sold a busted railroad and a dry
oil we'll for $4,000 in Ohio years
before he moved on to Oklahoma.

VETERANS OF THE GRAVITY.
Talk Over Old Times at Nay Aug
Historical Word by Penniman.

INK over Olu I11lleS at Nay aug
Historical Word by PeDniman.
Veterans of the Delaware and
Hudson and Pennsylvania gravity
railroads held their sixth annual re-
union at Nay Aug park. They were
accompanied by their families,
With Joy in their hearts and with
the animation that comes from the
prospect of meeting old friends, the
railroad men and their wives, sons
and daughters began to arrive early
Saturday. BY noon the park, de-
spite the weather, was crowded with
a cheerful throng and the old days
were lived over.
The Pennsylvania gravity railroad
was given up in 1885, the Del. and
Hudson in 1898. Many of the men
employed thereon we're transferred
to the steam roads which displaced
the gravities. Others retired to
their farms along the abandoned
lines.
Edward A. Penniman writes inter
estingly about the legislation which
resulted in the establishment of the
Pennsylvania Coal company:
1.-TWO charters, approved by the
legislature on April 16, 1888, grant
organization of the Washington Coal
company and the Pennsylvania Coal
company. The former was compos-
ed of citizens of Honesdale, promi-
nent among them being William H.
Dimmick, Sr. 1t had a capital of
100000 and was empowered to hold
1000 acres of land in the coal
basin. The other company had au-
thority of similar character and ex-
tent, and commenced the mining of
coal in Pittston township, Luzerne
county. The charter of the Wash
ington Coal company, after lying
idle for some years, was sold to
William and Charles Wurts and 9TH
ers of Philadelphia, in 1S47.
"In 1S46 the Luzerne and Wayne
| County Railroad company was incor-
porated, with power to construct a
railroad from the Lackawanna to the
I Lackawaxen. There was a large
| board of directors. Those resident
in Wayne county were Richard Lam
caster, Russell F. and Zenas H. Rus
sell and T. H. r. Tracy. This COM
pany's charter was merged, as well as
that of the Washington Coal CON-
pany, under the act of April 8, 1S49r
| in the Pennsylvania Coal company
which afterwards also absorbed the
rights of the Wyoming Coal associa-
ton, the charter being dated Feb
| 15, 1851.
1.-The act of April 16, 1888, enact,
ed that William Overfield, James
Watson, William H. Dimmick, Sam
uel G.. Walker, Martin w. Dingman
Robert T. Conrad and John R. Walk,
er, and their associates, successors
and assigns, be and they are hereby
constituted a body polite by the
name, style and title of the Wash
ington Coal company etc.
THE act of April 8, 1S49, author
lied the Washington Coal company
to relinquish and convey all their
real and personal property and all
the powers, rights and privileges
conferred by their charter to the
Pennsylvania Coal company. 1t also
authorized the latter corporation tc
hold and enjoy the same in addition
to its own property and privileges
as freely as if authorized by its ori

STATE DEMOCRATIC DAY.
All Pennsylvania County Organiza-
tions to Meet Saturday.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-Dem-
ocratic State Chairman Arthur G..
Dewalt is making arrangements for
a meeting of every Democratic coun-
ty committee throughout the state
on Saturday.
The idea is for Democratic lead
ers of every county to hold confer
ences that day at county headquart-
ers and map out a plan of cam
paign. The 81 county chairmen are
then to report to the state chairman
and ask for such assistance from the
state committee as may be desirable.
The observance of organization
day Is new hing in Pennsylvania
politics, and Chairman Dewalt ex-
poets that much good to the party
will result from it. In some coun-
ties the day will be observed merely
by formal meeting of the county or
ganizations for consultation and
advice, but the state chairman has
received information that in some
counties there will be celebrations
with large public mass meetings.
This will be the case in Berks coun-
ty, where the Democracy has ar
ranged for an OK roast on the Read
ing fairgrounds and at which the
principal speaker will be Senator
Webster Grim, Democratic candidate
for Governor.
In Allegheny there will also be
an important gathering where the
chief address will be made by Chair
man Dewalt.

TENER out in the western part of

They sure do! And they think
as much of him in the eastern part
and the northern part and the south
ern part, so far as they have had a
chance to meet the next governor
of Pennsylvania, as they do in Chal-
eroi, the town TENER put on the
map and the town that will go al
most unanimously for him on a GER
tain important day in November.

LEVEL-HEADED MIR. FARR.

That was sound, sane talk that
Spring Brook Changers got from Re-
publican Congressional Candidate
JOHN N. FARR, who in his Labor
day address observed:
Scranton is only beginning in its
greatness and it needs five times
more farm products than the Lacka-
wanna farmers are growing. You
young men, save your money and
buy farms; farm land is lower in
price than it ever will be again."
This is the reasonable, practical
view, for Grangers and for every
body else cognizant of the advan-
tages, financial as well as physical
and moral, that naturally accrue to
the man who elects to work for his
living in the country.
"a half million people, from Car
bondale to Wilkes-Barre, are wait
ing for the products you grow" he
said. Again Mr.. FARR is dead
right in his conclusions.
The Grange is working for high
er manhood, a better farmer and a
more active and earnest citizen and
is succeeding, he said. He declared
the world is growing better, that
the milk of human kindness if flow-
n In
ume than ever. He gave the Grange
credit for it's part in this.
MIR. FARR told his hearers to
continue the improvement of condi-
tions surrounding farm life, to make
them as attractive as possible for
their own comfort, and to keep the
boys and girls on the farm.
1t is refreshing to hear such broad
minded talk from a man seeking
elective office. Mr.. FARR on this
occasion abstained from reference to
the national questions on which he
is seeking a seat in Washington; he
spoke wholly on the advantages of
country life-of the money and
health and happiness and longevity
to be gained by life on the farm.
He made some telling points that
should bear fruit in the shape of a
considerable exodus to the country
on the part of young men and mid
die aged men, their wives and in
tended wives, who cannot live so in
dependently in the city as they could
on a few acres of good soil in the
country. His talk was favorable TO
the teaching of agriculture in the
public schools-an effort now to be
tried out in Wayne county. On the
whole, the movement toward the farm
is being powerfully stimulated by the
thinking men of the state. 1t is a
subject that must receive more and
more attention, in Pennsylvania and
other Eastern states. The job OF
the farmer is the Independent Job,
and the greatest independence for
the greatest number is the consum-
nation devoutly to be wished by the
present generation.

The jury system is soon to be
put to an important test in New
ark, Ohio, the seat of a disgrace
full riot and lynching recently. 1t
will be recalled that Gov. Harmon
removed the mayor of the place for
not making proper efforts to stop
the mob. Evidently the governors
vigorous action has had the
effect of making a grand jury
measure up to its duty, fif-
teen indictments having been
brought in. The usual thing in
cases of this kind is for a grand
jury to pretend to investigate and
then to report that the lynching
was done by parties unknown" ;"
1t is calculated to dampen the ardor
of those who like to commit mur-
der In a crowd to note that they
are not free from risk of discovery.
But this is only the first step. The
next is to see whether a petit jury
will convict for this crime. Moth
ing would tend more to show that
the people of this country are sound
at the core than for a petit jury in
a community like that of Newark,
Ohio, to show that it Is not afraid
to convict members of a mob for
lynching. This is the real test of
public spirit, the real proof of wheth-
er the customary outburst of de-
nunciation of mob violence is more
than talk,-Plttston Gazette.
