THE GOODWIN MATTER.

HE JOURNAL agrees with Every Evening
u in its statement that in the suggested move
ment TO make another application for pardon
for Jack Goodwin on the ground that his health
is being seriously undermined by Imprisonment,
it may be we'll to remember that such a claim is
not a matter to be determined by sympathy, but
by the testimony of reputable physicians after
careful examination.
II has been said ALL along by many that God
wins political influence and the fear that he would
make some remarkable revelations would prob
ably result in his pardon. Time however, has
shown that these efforts have failed. No political
influence has had effect on the Board of Pardons.
No political influence has been able even TO miti-
gate in the slightest manner the rigors of God
wins imprisonment No political influence is like
ly TO effect Godwns fate in the future.
Some of his friends who have been working
for his freedom have lately turned the cold
shoulder towards him in view of the reports of his
alleged statements They know that nothing he
could say would have great weight in a court
1t could be used only as political capital in
a campaign and probably very poor capital at
that.
According to our observation and from what we
have heard, Goodwin is changed man. He has
learned his lesson; bitter dose has been his. We
think that any man after seeing Jack Goodwin in
his present plight, who would violate the
election law and take chances Of undergoing the
punishment that already has been his, would be
either fool or a man who deliberately enjoyed
life in the workhouse. OF course Godwins physi-
cal and mental and nervous condition in view
OF any further application for pardon should be
passed on by reputable physicians We should be
surprised if they did not think his health had been
seriously impaired. If il has not been Goodwin

READING AND WILMINGTON.

M NY cities throughout the country are show
1 - ing considerable growth. The rates Of in
crease OF their populations have been large. For
some years Reading, Pa, and Wilmington have
kept along almost at even PAGE. Before the
census Of 1900 Wilmington was ahead of Reading
AT that census the Berks county metropolis forged
ahead OF Wilmington, the population of Reading
being 7S,96l and that of Wilmington 765O8
With the new census Reading Increases her lead
considerably for the population of the Pennsyl-
yana city is given 9607l Reading folk ex
pected that the figures this year would go beyond
the 100000 mark. In that they are disappointed
Inc rate OF gain in Readings population is 2i
per cent. while that of Wilmington is 874lf. an
increase OF l4o per cent. Allentown Pa is another
city IN Pennsylvania that has shown remarkable
increase, jump from 35,4i6 in 1900 to 5f,9l3 in
1910
1t has been said that the reason why Whining
tons population has not increased more rapidlv
IS that there has been a considerable upbuiiding
OF suburban districts But it is probable that the
same causes have been operating in the two cities
mentioned 1t may be that Readings taking in
suburban districts has swelled the population of
that city
But whatever has happened the fact remains
that Reading has surpassed us in growth of pop-
ulation and so goes before the world. We NAV
we'll consider whether Wilmington has shown the
push and energy that she should have manifested
during the last ten years We have gone forward
IN trade and manufacturing and the city has i'm
proved. But the census figures should arouse us
to making more persistent efforts to bring new
industries here, to improve our facilities for COM
merce and to do all those things which make a
city more attractive a place of business and
residence
The Journal believes that the Board OF Trade
and other civic organizations should, with the be-
ginning of autumn, undertake a vigorous cam
paign for a larger and better Wilmington The
time is ripe for action. If Reading, for example.
continues to grow in population during the next
ten years and Wilmington goes on as it has been
doing, by the time of the next census Reading
will have far surpassed us.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Little Child Who
Rebuffed Greatness
BY "HOlland."

In 1897, after having served six
years in the United States Senate,
Aaron Burr again became a member of
the New York Legislature, and thereaf-
ter for two years he made frequent trips
between Albany, the State capital, and
his home in New York City. These
Journeys, for the most part, he made
on horseback, and for months when
ever he arrived in the town of Athens,
situated on the west bank Of the Hud-
son some twenty-eight or thirty miles
below the capital, he made It an almost
invariable rule to visit at the house
of the Van Buskirks, which Is still
standing. This private house was a
famous gathering place for prominent
men who were on their way to and
from Albany and New York, and the
entertainment that the owner of the
house afforded his distinguished
friends and acquaintances of the lat
ter days of the eighteenth century and
the first years of the nineteenth CEN
tury is still traditional in Athens, some
OF whose early citizens became Of
great influence in the public life Of
their times.
OF the greater politicians who were
guests Of the Van Buskirks from time
to time none received more cordiality
than Aaron Burr, and none seemed to
be more delighted with the hospitality
shown him. In fact he was a guest
so welcome at all times that he need
not herald his coming; there were
always a room and good cheer wait
| ing for him, and Mary, the little daugh-
ter of the house, eagerly looked for
ward to his visits. Aaron Burr being a
favorite Of hers and she Of his.
One afternoon in 1898, when Mary
was about seven years old. Aaron
Burr arrived at the Van Buskirk man
sion with the expectation of spending
the night there. In the parlor of the
house stood a spinnet, which was spo-
! ken of the countryside around as one
of the best musical instruments of the
sort to be found anywhere in America.
| In the early evening. the final meal
! of the day over, Aaron Burr sat down
at the spinnet and began TO play upon
II, and as he fingered the instrument
with the deftness of an expert, filling
/ the room with a, popular melody of
! the day, little Mary Van Buskirk stood
/ beside her idol, listening intently and
watching him admiringly.
There had been hung upon the wall
right over the spinnet, since Aaron
Burrs previous visit, a picture Of
| George Washington. At first, so intent
was Burr upon his music that he did
/ not notice the likeness of Washington
above him. but at last he glanced up
and saw the engraving. Instantly the
music ceased. a scowl flashed over
Burr's features, and in an angry tone
of voice he exclaimed: THAT is the
picture of damned scoundrel-"
He turned to the spinnet 20 resume
his playing, but in that instant little
Mary Van Buskirk, her face livid with
childish passion, stood upon tiptoes,
and drawing her little right arm and
