THE HIGHER GOOD

THE HIGHER GOOD
Father. 1 viii not ask for wealth or
fame, .
Though once they would have joyed
my carnal sense;
l shudder not to bear hated name,
Wanting all wealth, myself my sole
defence.
But give me Lord, eyes to behold the
truth;
A seeing sense that knows the eter-
nal right;
4 heart with pity fiiied, ami gsntiest
ruth;
A manly faith that makes all dark
ness light;
Give me the power to labor for man
kind;
Make me the mouth Of such as can
not speak;
Eyes let me be to cropping men and
blind;
Al conscience to the base; and to the
weak
Let me be hands and feet; and to the
foolish, mind;
And lead still further on such as
Thy kingdom seek.

MAGEE MEETS PENR0SE
Harmony in Pennsylvania Con,
vention Thought Assured.
rBv Te,eeranb to The Tribune. ]

TBy Telegraph to The Trfbune.l
Harrisburg, Penn, June 21.-Peace be-
tween Mayor Magee of Pittsburg and Sen
ator Penrose and the other dominant lead
ers in the Republican organization Is sa'd
to have been restored as a result of a con-
ference between Penrose and Magee to-
day.
1t is now explained that Magee's fight
was not against the state organization.
but dealt merely with local conditions in
Allegheny County.
Following the conference it was reported
that Mayor Magee had received an offer
of the permanent Craftsmanship of the Re
publican State Convention, which will open
here tomorrow to nominate a Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal
Affairs and State Treasurer. Mayor Magee
is said to be holding the offer under advise
ment, and it is stated that in any event
the permanent chairman will be some one
who will have Magees Endorsement.
If Magee takes the Craftsmanship, or
agrees to recommend some one else for the
post. 1t will end all further talk of the
proba bility of Magee not going along for
Congressman John X. Tener, OF Charleroi.
Washington County, whose nomination on
the first ballot for Governor tomorrow is
regarded as assured, regardless of what
either Magee or any one else may do
The only man who continues to remain
in the field as candidate for the Cover
norship nomination against Tener is Lieu
tenant Governor Murphy, and there is a
persistent run1or in circulation to the
effect that Mr.. Murphy will take himself
out of the race before the convention opens.
If he does this Mr.. Tener will be nominated
in double quick time. and harmony will be
the watchword of the proceedings.
There is much interest in the Lieutenant
Governorship. Joseph s. Grundy. the Bucks
County leader. can have it if he wants it,
but ne says his business interests will not
allow him to accept a political position.
Senator Penrose is said to favor man
from the interior of the state who will be
popular with the farmers
