THE GOVERNOR ARRIVES
HON. JOHN X. TENER GREETED
BY CHEERING THOUSANDS
AT UNION STATION.
Governor Tener's Arrival.

Long before the arrival of the af-
ternoon Delaware and Hudson train,
upon which Governor John K. Ten
er, members of his staff, State Arm
ory Board, and Regimental officers
were Honesdale bound, hundreds of
people had assembled at the station
to be among the first ones to get a
peep at the Governor. Anxious par
ties telephoned to Waymart to ascer-
tain whether or not the Governor
was on board. When told that he
was and the train was just leaving
there, but was four minutes late, en-
thusiasm ran high. The skeptical
believed he would be snowbound but
their doubts were shattered when
the Chief Magistrate alighted from
the train and then their voices were
heard among the throng in saluta-
tion. Hail to the Chief" was rem
dered by the Honesdale Band as the
distinguished guests came from the
train. Before being escorted to the
Armory the party went to the Allen
House.
Upon request from the teachers in
annual institute, Governor Tener ad-
dressed them at the school house
prior to going to the Armory. His
address, there, appeared, elsewhere
in this issue.
The parade formed at the Allen
House, the Governor and other out
of-town guests riding in coaches.
Owing to the condition of the
streets, due to the recent storm, the
military escort, composed of mem
bers of Company E in charge of Cap
tain C. j. Kelley, together with
members of Captain James Ham
Post, G. A. R., the Honesdale Band
and large concourse of patriotic
citizens accompanied the Governors
party on the sidewalk.
The course of march was from
Ninth street to Main, Main to Park,
down Park to the Armory. The town
was attired in National colors and
there was scarcely a home or busi-
ness place along the line of the pro-
cession but what was decorated.

General Dougherty's Speech.
Governor Tener, Mr.. Chairman,
Ladies and Gentlemen, officers and
members of Company e, Thirteenth
Regiment:
90 If this day is a day of gratitude
to the citizens of Honesdale in the
erection and completion and dedica-
tion of this beautiful building dedi-
Gated to the furtherance and the help
in the instruction of the citizen sold
iery of this county, | can say that it
is no less gratifying to the men,
bers of the State Armory Board and
especially to Col. Watres and my
self, the committee of the Third Bri-
gade of the State Armory Board who
were just as anxious to lend a help
ing hand and locate an Armory in
Honesdale as the community and
Company e were anxious to have it,
1t becomes my duty in the as
signment as member of the State
Armory Board to turn over to Cap
tain Kelley the custody of this State
building. And therefore, Captain
Kelley, it is one of the pleasures of
my career as a member of the Board
to bestow on you and your worthy
Company the custody of this build
ing.
4" trust, Sir, knowing you as l do,
that you will keep it in the same
manner that the predecessors from
High Private Homer Greene up to all
the ranks, including the memory of
Captain Bentley, and Captain, now
Judge Wilson and dear old Captain
Whitney have (Great applause) kept
loyal the citizen soldiery of North
eastern Pennsylvania.
Captain Kelley, this is Homes
dale's Citadel of Peace, where you
are to instruct the men under your
command in the art of war. Keep
in mind the injunction of that great
American, the Father of his country,
who said, In time of Peace prepare
for War
None know when that day shall
come, when this nation shall require
men of courage and patriotism to go
forth as these men Indicating the
veterans of Captain James Ham
Post, No. 29S, who occupied front
seats at the dedication exercises)
went forth in the great struggle of
'61-'65. And l know that in that
hour will come the satisfaction and
pride that the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania thought so much of
your Company that it has put this
splendid building, which l now turn
over to your custody and keeping by
that officer who deserves the lasting
gratitude of the community" (Great
Applause).
Mr.. Green announced that the re-
sponse for Company e would be made
by that officer who deserves the last
ing gratitude of the people of this
community for fighting against great
odds to keep his command together,

General Stewart referred to num-
ber of letters Captain Kelley wrote to
him, in one of which he said: Il am
compelled to write this letter in the
open air. l haven't any home.
"In the fifty years that are closing
more has been done, for humanity
and liberty than was ever done in
the worlds history.
Here in this front seat sit the
men of 81. Their battles are all
fought. They have left to the young
men of to-day, examples of bravery
and duty that ought to inspire every
man in this land not only to be a
good citizen but a good citizen sold
Ter. (Applause.)
Remember that we dedicate this
day this building to patriotism to the
National Guard of Pennsylvania to
the honor of the nation, to the glory
of the flag, to peace in all her bord-
ers." (Applause).
The speechmaking was ended, and
the audience heaved a great sigh of
satisfaction. Half past five had come
and in an instant the vast crowd rose
to its feet in response to the chair
mans call and sang America" and
sang as if they really meant it,
My country! 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of libertyl"
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-11-17

And while in these days, when
Honesdale Is at peace with all the
world, and Pennsylvania is at peace
with all the world, and our country
is at peace with all the world, it
seems strange we should dedicate
to the use of the militia such a
building, yet as General Dougherty
said, while war is possible at all,
this county and this State must be
prepared for it. AS the nation for
titles the Panama Canal, as the ma
tion maintains a standing army and
navy because Of the possibility of
war, so Pennsylvania erects this
Armory for the use and benefit of
the militia.
." The citizen soldiery of Pennsyl-
vania is the second largest in num-
bers and in military operations, and
the most efficient body of men in the
National Guard of the United States.
Not that our men are more heroic
and more willing to go to the de-
Tense of their country, but by rea-
son of the high personality injected
into the Guard from the Adjutant
General down and in attention to
equipment and details is better
equipped to-day to move more quick
ly than any Guard in the United
| States.
g am glad to be here with you
and particularly on this occasion. AT
the outset your Chairman stated in
rather extraordinary way that Gen.
eral Stewart was not yet near the
| Golden Gates. | imagine that the
good General is perfectly satisfied
if he can't be in the Golden Gates tc
be in, Honesdale, which is a near ap.
proach to it. (Laughter).
bring you greetings. I'm glad
to be here as the representative Of
the government of this State; not tc
make an extended or formal ad
dress. l only rise that the Executive
Department might be here at this
time and on this occasion.

In introducing the last speaker OF
the afternoon, Mr.. Green said:
" The Pennsylvania who does not
know Tom Stewart argues himself

| Civil war, Department Commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic,

of this state for more than forty
years, an orator of countrywide rep

Your Excellency Governor Tener,
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle

| presume you noticed the liberty
each of the speakers took with your
humble servant. When they wanted
to fill in they used me.
There are a lot of Companies in
our National Guard that would like a
building like this and l know of none
to whom it could be given more ap-
propriately."

Introducing the Chief Executive of
the Keystone State, Chairman
Greene said:
A little more than a year ago it
was my pleasure to introduce to the
people of Honesdale a candidate for
Governor of the State. That can
didate was elected. He has given to
the people of this commonwealth one
of the best, safest, sanest, most con-
serVative and business-like admins
trations that this State has ever
seen. 1t becomes again my pleasure
to welcome him to Honesdale as the
Governor of this great common
wealth, Governor John X. Tener."

Governor Tener spoke as follows:

nothing. They shall not be disap-
pointed"
About one year ago l was in
Honesdale, as candidate. We had
an audience-some audience-not
such an audience as this, nor so
many voters, nor any ladies. But we
survived that and I'm glad to be
here. Since the day your invitation
reached me, / have looked forward
to coming here, and my Joy was not
marred until We came into the con-
lines of your county, when we learn
ed that your Chief Magistrate had
only recently died. And while 1 be-
leve that Notwithstanding the death
of Mr.. Kuhbach these services
should go on, the sympathies in
the hearts of this party go out to his
family in this sad hour of their
lives.
am glad to participate in the
dedication of this splendid building.
These exercises are interesting be-
cause you may we'll claim and feel
that something has been added to
Wayne county; something tangible
and real for Honesdale is yours in
this building owned by the State, but
erected for the use of Company E
and the Thirteenth Regiment.
8 This building is beautiful, not
only because of the beauty of the
architecture, the massive construc-
tion, but 1t is especially beautiful
in that it will house the men of
Company e.

District Attorney M, e. Simons
and w. H. Lee, Esq, argued the
question before Judge A. T. Searle,
Tuesday afternoon, as to whether the
Court had authority to issue a fieri
facias to collect the costs in the case
of Leona Lord. who was sentenced
January "a, 1911, to pay a fine of
$500 and the costs of prosecution
amounting to $597.52. Mr.. Simons
contended that the Court had such
inherent authority. Attorney Lee
argued against that proposition.
1t is alleged that the trouble about
the costs is that Mrs. Lord hasn't the
money pay them. The Court took
the papers, following the argument,
and reserved decision.
