ELECTION ECHOES.

George w. Penwarden received
22S votes for Town Councilman of
this borough. This was the highest
number of votes received by any
candidate for that office, one quarter
Of the men who voted for him, voted
for him alone. John Stegner, a can
didate for the same office received
Just ffty-six votes. Had these lone
voters exercised their privilege to
vote for two candidates, they could
have elected either Charles McCarty
or John X. Seitz. for the same
mutual understanding, which they
no doubt had in voting for Penwar-
den, could have been stretched so
as to cover any of the other candi-
dates. j. T. Boyd. who was elected
Judge of Election, received the
highest number of votes of any can
didate who had an opposing candi-
date, his total vote being 302. w.

votes, he receiving one vote for JUS
tice of the Peace. Mr.. Stone was
not a candidate, and is under the
impression that Squire Robt. A. Smith
who was a candidate, and whose
extreme modesty would not permit
him to vote for himself, voted for
w. H. Stone. MIR. Smith received
3S4 votes, and consequently can now
claim that he received a majority of
333. which is probably the largest
majority ever received by any can
Sidate in the history of Honesdale.
Squire Smith is only Sc years old,
but he has an experience in political
economy and vote manipulation that
comes only with old age. Messrs.
Stone and Smith are both members
Of the Domino Association, and for
years have been opponents for the
championship, and it is surprising
that this rivalry should extend into
the political arena.

As the recent food in Paris is but
a repetition of others which have
periodically inundated the French
capital during it's thousand years or
more of existence, one would think
that inventive genius of the Gauls
would have devised some preventive
measures long before this.

The San Francisco call., 1910-12-11
by RUBY W. MULANAx,
r. o. Box 647, TuIarc, Cal. Tulare
School High Fifth Grade.
Age IA Years

I will now endeavor to write on the
above topic as best / can. There are
many honorable and dishonorable
things in school life as well as in
other walks. Some people think the
meanest thing you can do in school is
to give way and peach or tattle on the
teachers offender, while others be-
lieve just the opposite, considering it
a virtue to tell on the wrongdoer as
many times and as quickly as possible.
I believe both ways. For instance
suppose the teacher had you upon the
floor before her trying to make you
tell on the sinful one; you did not
want to tell, but remember you are
upon your. word Of honor. Now which
would you consider the most honor
able. to refuse to say anything about
it or tell 1t all at once? In this case
I think it would be much more honor
able to tell the whole truth to your
teacher or principal at once.
Now in another instance, suppose
one of your classmates had offended
the teacher or principal and you knew
all about 1t and were waiting to see
what the offended one was going to
say or do. Suppose she said nothing
to you personally, merely mentioning
the affair; now would you consider 1t
a virtue to go of your own accord and
tell on the wrongdoer, perhaps getting
him or her into serious trouble and
doing you no good at all? / think 1t
would be mean trick and / would
not blame the other pupils for think
ing me a sneak for doing such a
thing.
Moral: Do unto others as you'd have
them do unto you.

THE BUILDERS OF THE
NATION
BY JASPER b. SINCLAIR

When we think of the builders OF a
nation we naturally think OF states
men. of soldiers of rulers and of law
makers. and In thinking thus we are
neglecting those who are making the
nation greater day by day. Statesmen,
soldiers, rulers and law makers are not
the only builders OF nation. The
thousands of men-thoSe living in OBJ
scurity, and In deeds, not words-who
hew down the forests, who reclaim the
soil for agriculture, who toll In the
black depths of mines and who build
the railroads are as much the builders
of our nation as statesmen and the
makers of the constitution.
The thousands of men and women
who are today working on farms or in
mines, in factories and shops, in stores
and offices or in any other business, are
doing as great a service for their coun
try as those who hold office in the gov
ernment Both kinds of service are
necessary; the former display as much
patriotism and loyalty to their country
as the latter. The nation depends on
the former for it's support as much as
upon the latter. These thousands who
are toiling for their own interests and
for the accomplishment of their own
ends are aiding in the development and
upbuilding of the nation as much as
those who hold the offices of the gov
ernment and seek to promote the inter
ests of the country.
The men with hands hardened by
work and Drowned with toll are the
real workers among all the nations
millions. These men are the builders
of our merchant ships and navy, of our
railroads and canals and of our large
buildings and cities. They are the pro-
moters of our commerce, our agricul-
ture, our manufacturing, our mining.
our fishing and our numbering. The
xxyhn
noting the industrial welfare of the
United States, and of every other ma
ton upon the face of the globe, are the
builders OF the nation.

A Trip for AIOnzO

East Auburn, Cal, Nov. q, 1910.
Dear Alonzo: Can you come up here
during the holidays and spend Christ
mas with me? we would have a. fine
time Master comes here on business
and brings me with him, but my real
home is in the country. We could go
hunting for woodrats and also get our
own Christmas tree and berries.
If you can't come at Christmas, come
UP some Sunday, for after The Junior
Call comes none of the children Will
speak to me, so l am lonesome. Please
bring the Pup along, too.
Say. Alonzo. don't you get tired
opening so many letters? 1 am very
sure 1 would.
What do you think? A few weeks
ago l was out hunting, when 1 ran
across a deer. a five pointer, and 1t
began to fight me. 1 barked lot and
master came and drove 1t away. Don't
you wish you'd been there? l will
close. Hoping you will come, remain,
your true friend, WHISKERS.

literature, as our Libraries contain the
masterpieces of every language; and
these can easily be obtained if one only
has the will to do so. No girl or boy
should fail to read the works of Louisa
Alcott. Never before or since have
such splendid stories appeared-stories
which shall remain peerless among the
worlds books for young people. They
not only afford great amusement, but
teach wondrous little lessons, which.
try as one WILL he simply can not for
get. Her books hold one in a trance
from beginning to end, and as one reads
the last page it is with great sigh.
and wish that they had been at least
twice, nay, three times as long as they
are.
Cultivate the habit of good reading
now, Juniors. and you shall have secured
lifelong friends-friends who remain
faithful to the end-who in the very
greatest OF need have ne'er been known
to fail.
