caucus made a mistake or else they
had no right to vote for anyone else

People who have stock or carry
policies in the Scranton Life Insur-
ance Company should be highly
elated over the success of this COM
pany. Although but one year old
it's stock is on a six per cent. paying
basis and its security for policies
issued makes it one of the most
desirable companies doing business
in this section of the country. Jas.
S. McAnulty has been reelected
President.
Some men seem to think if they
get into a "scrape" and the editor
mentions it in his paper that he
does it out of malice toward them.
In nearly every case of this kind
nothing could be farther from the
truth than such a belief. 1t is the
editors business to publish local
happenings, good or bad and if a
man furnishes material for a bad
item he has no one to blame should
it appear.
