What Is Popularity?

Recent events have thrown a great
deal of light upon the question of pop
ularity. The man goes up Broadway
and hundreds of thousands turn out to
zee and shout. A better man goes up
Broadway and IS merely hustled by
the crowds intent upon other objects.
If American political history has
settled anything it has established the
fact that the man who talks loudest,
who excites most public curiosity and
who appears to have the most devoted
followers does not take precedence at
the polls.
Mr.. Bryan was seen and heard by
hundreds of thousands. His reputation
as an orator destroyed him as can.
didate. No man could meet the ex-
pectations that his fame had awaken
ed. His "populsrity"was as egregiously
overstimated. In three disastrous cam
paigns it was proved thar in the true
sense he had no popularity.
Oratory and celebrity of this kind
helped kill the old Wing party. 1t
had two famous leaders, Clay and
Webster. One never could be elected
and the other never could be nominal
ed. 1t seated two Presidents, both Of
whom were comparatively unknown
to the crowds. A despairing admirer
of Clay said that he could make more
noise and get fewer votes than any
man living.
The voluble ex-President who has
! lust learned in the election tables what
his countrymen think of him has no
genuine popularity. He has made q
! show of himself, and a free show rarely
lacks attention. He has been clever
advertiser, aud success in that line
/ always attracts the people. He has
made himself notorious without NOV
ing veryIdeeply the conviclio Gus of his
fellow-men.
1t is one thing to appeal to tha cur
iosty of the multitude and it is another
thing to address its intelligence.
! Theodore Roosevelt has done the one.

has served the congre cation continu-
ously, making the longest pastorate in
the city and one which few ministers
of any denomination attain. Many
changes have taken place in that time
and the mark of advance and progress
is seen on every hand.
Martinsburg is the fourth congrega-
ton which he has served. After his
graduation from the Theological semi
nary, he became pastor of the Reform
ed congregation at Carlisle, Pa, and
went from there to Pottsville, Pa,
later going to Allegheny City, and
coming from the latter place to Mar
tin sburg.
During the years that he has labor
ed in this city, he has been held in
high esteem, not only by members OF
his own congregation, but by the com
munity at large. He has been active
in the councils of the church and has
always taken great interest in the de-
velopment of the institutions and 9TH
er interests of the church.

Mr. Richards and George Paris were
returning home from Pearl Harbor

it was overturned by a big sea few
yards seaward of the dredge South

DEATH Of TINKER
IN MIDWAY ISLAND

On Saturday last, July 30, Vernon
Tinker, with his brother Alfred and
others of the Midway cable staff, went
in for swim which unfortunately to
the former proved fatal.
1t is the custom for those who have
had experience in diving to take the
water from the end of the wharf and
Vernon Tinker being a first rate
swimmer and diver, took this means.
But as he was about to take the
plunge his foot slipped and he went
straight down striking his head on
the bottom and when rescued it was
seen that he had become paralyzel
from the shoulders down.
1t was at first thought That he was
fooling but when the true situation
was realized he was quickly carried
ashore by his brother Alfred and the
staff doctor, who was one Of the
party, Immediately proceeded to Go
all in his power and apply remedies,
but it was quickly seen that the young
man was beyond medical skill, save
to alleviate as much as possible any
suffering, but he suffered nc pain
whatsoever, and from the moment he
struck until he lost cons :iousness he
was cheerful and always hopeful of
final recovery. On Tuesday after
noon he lost consciousness which he
never recovered and died at 2:35 a.
m. Wednesday, July q. He was 10
years old, young man of singularly
good promise and had only recently
been promoted and sent to Midway
to join his brother and had looked for
ward with great pleasure 70 the out
door life enjoyed Ivy those located en-
that island.
His death is a great blow to his
widowed mother, sisters and brothers,
as well as to a number of friends. In
his work he wascheerful and always
willing andhis death is a distinct loss
to the company he was employed by
The sympathy of everybody will go
out to his relatives who feel the blow
keenly. The funeral will take place
this afternoon.

posed this little song in honor of the
BRIDE
She's as sweet and dainty as lima;
She's a Male Mokihana lei;
She's the Moon upon the sea,
And she's captivated me,
And it does seem a
Pity to have her go.
She's the only, last, Aloiau;
She's the bright and dear Kappa
belle;
We've kept her all We could,
Cause we knew she was so good,
But she's going to leave us now
And Wen miss her more than we
can tell
