A REAL PRESIDENT,

President Taft undoubtedly is
winning the appreciation of large
numbers of his fellow country
men by the dignifed course he is
pursuing with relation to his candi-
dacy for a second term.
While the Unsuitable Third-Term-
er is cavorting about the country
with his customary clatter, and the
Democratic candidate is issuing
daily pronunciamentos as to his atti-
tude on this, that or the other sub
ject, the President is devoting his
attention quietly to directing the af-
fairs of the government. The scant
leisure the late adjournment of Con-
gress afforded, he is spending with
his family.
The unparalleled campaign of
abuse and misrepresentation waged
against him by Theodore Roosevelt
in advance of the primaries made it
necessary for the President for a
time to enter the lists and personally
correct the falsehoods uttered
against himself and his administra-
tion, but as soon as it was humanity
possible to do so he quit the stump
and reassumed the attitude of digni-
fled aloofness from political imbrog-
lilo which, until the days of the
Rough Rider generally characterized
the occupant of the Presidential
chair.
President Taft is himself again.
He does not wish to be President un-
less the people really desire it, and
he believes they are quite capable OF
deciding the question wisely, de-
spite the din that is being raised in
certain quarters.

Damascus, Sept. IL.
The latest information is that c.
d. Fortnam and bride were given one
of the loudest serenades on Wednes-
day night last that has been heard in
these parts since boys were boys.
Night was made hideous until mid
night by the use of various kinds of
instruments, and weapons of war
fare. We welcome Mrs. c. d. Fort
nam into our midst and wish for the
new couple the best of everything
that life can bestow. Mr.. Fortnam
has brought his bride home to a we'll
furnished, capacious and substantial
home and may they both be favored
with long and useful life in it.
Miss Fannie Mcintyre, of New
relatives and friends, to pass part of
tion. 1t is the place of her nativity,
and there's no place like home"
Miss Mcintyre has for several
years been connected with the Bow
doin Charity School, of New Ham
burgh. This institution takes chill
dren of destitute parents in the East
Side, New York city, gives them a
glimpse of better life and a differ
ent way of living, clothes them,
schools them while there and then
returns them to their parents. There
was at this institution at one time
the offspring of a couple both of
whom were deaf mutes, yet this
! child could both hear and talk and
was as intelligent as the majority of
children. 1t is said, however, that
if such offspring should have pro-
geny they would be deaf mutes the
same as were the grandparents This
school spoken of is located on an
eminence overlooking the Hudson
river and about a quarter of a mile
back on the eastern side. 1t has a
large farm and poultry plant con-
nected with it, yet there is not pro-
duce enough raised upon it for the
maintenance of those in the institu-
ton. This man of millions takes
| this method of using some of his
money and at the same time alleviate
the sufferings of some fellow NOR
| tails.

session. Hotchkiss and Prender-
CAST, the two rival candidates, had
locked horns for a determined strug-
gle when a somewhat spectacular
character, known widely as "Sus-
pender Jack" McGee, mounted the
platform and in an impassioned
speech presented the name of Mr..
Straus. The idea caught the con-
vention, the delegates were swept
from their feet, everybody was
shouting for Straus, Hotchkiss and
Prendergast and Timothy Woodruff,
seeing the unavoidable trend Of
things, tumbled over each other to
second the nomination and amid wild
applause and enthusiasm it was made
unanimous.
Whether this nomination was the
result of a careful but secret pulling
of the wires, or, as it appears to be,
the unpremeditated result of a situa-
tion grasped at the psychological
moment, does not now matter. 1t is
in many respects an admirable one.
Mr.. Straus is a man of exceptional
character and standing. AS business
man, philanthropist, cabinet mem
Der, and foreign ambassador he has
done distinguished service to his
country and deserves we'll of his
fellowmen. But the platform adopt
ed by the convention, on which he is
supposed to stand, will doubtless
prove his undoing. The voters of the
Empire state are not yet ready tc
accept in all of its eccentric and
radical features the Roosevelt pro.
paganda. Nevertheless it behooves
the Republicans of the State to meet
this nomination with one equally a:
strong.

HAWLEY.
Especial to The Citizen)

L
Mrs. Alice Palmer and daughter
Helen, of Brooklyn, have been spend
ing the past month at Park View ho-
tel.
A fine souvenir booklet has just
been issued which tells of Hawley
as one of the places with a promi-
nent future-a future that means
prosperity and happiness for many
thousands of people who will in the
years to come be attracted here by
the important things now develop
ing. The booklet speaks of Hawley
as 1875 miles from New York city by
the Erie railroad, at the junction of
the Lackawaxen and Paupack rivers,
in a land of enchantment that is fill
ed with the things that make for
life's delights. The nearness of the
town to the great park of the Bloom
ing Grove club, and to Scranton is
also fully told. OF the manufactures
here there is mention of our three
silk mills, our cut glass and bottle
factories, and the knitting mills, as
we'll as the lumber industry. All
other good features of the town,
such as the streets, fine homes and
well-kept lawns, the schools, the
| fire department, the water works and
electric light works, and also a field
| for athletic sports are referred to,
and then is enumerated the many
| fraternal organizations which lend
to the uplift of the community.
But the one thing that is special
| ly interesting in the booklet is what
is said about the great big power
dam which is now under construc-
tion just over the hill towards Will
/ A. a,1y rsN
already a half million dollars have
| been spent, and where three millions
more will be expended in forming
the greatest water power PROPOSE
! ton in the country next to Niagara
Falls. L. B. Stillwell, of New York
City, formerly of Scranton, claims
this will be the best proposition OF
the kind east of the Rocky noun
tains. The lake which the dam will
form will be fifteen miles long, four
miles wide, and cover twelve thous-
and acres, with a total fall of 325
feet, yielding from 10000 to 25,-
| 900 horse power. This great lake
is to furnish power for various in.
dustries, scores of which are expect.
ed to locate here, and there will be
an electric. power supply line eX
tended to the Lackawanna and
Wyoming valleys, so that the results
of this vast undertaking here will be
felt scores of miles away.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

Laboring under the disadvantage
imposed by hostile control of the
House of Representatives and hope
lessly split majority in the Senate of
the SiXty-second Congress, President
Taft has had an unusually difficult
course to steer. The majority in the
House, ably captained, with a deplor-
able but thoroughly human instinct
has insisted on playing politics"
The insurgent Senators have bent
their energies to play the devil. In
the Congress the Republican party
has been in a hopeless minority.
Under these circumstances the pos
ition of the Executive has been vex-
atious, trying and exposed to unusual
dangers. 1t is to Mr.. Taft's credit
that he has sustained it without more
concessions to the expediencies of the
hour or the necessities of the politi-
cal campaign in which he is engaged.
He has been the President of the
United States first and an intelligent
partisan second. He has not been a
trimmer, nor has he sacrificed his
convictions because of clamor or mis-
representation.
President Taft has made mistakes
as every President must. But his es-
sential sincerity, modesty, good sense
and strength of character are con-
vincingly apparent.-New York Sun.

THE RESULT IN VERMONT.

The result of the state election in
Vermont last week is doubtless a
fair indication of what the result of
the national election will be in No.
vember. After a vigorous campaign
by all three of the leading parties,
the vote stood in round numbers
about as follows; Republican $4,000,
Democrat 10000, Progressive 15,-
600. An analysis of the result
shows that the Progressive votes
came entirely from former adher-
ents of the Republican party. Not
only did the Progressives fail to
draw from the Democratic ranks, but
the Democrats, encouraged by the
three cornered fight, increased their
normal vote by about three thousand.
Neither party having polled a plur-
ality of the votes, the election will
be thrown into the state legislature
and as that is strongly Republican,
a Republican administration for YER
mont is assured.
The position of the Progressive
party in this campaign is strongly
indicated by the vote in Vermont.
Its strength is drawn entirely from
the Republican ranks. 1t cannot
hope to poll as many votes as will
the Republican party. AS in Ver-
mont, it can cripple but it cannot kill
the party from which it separated.
The only advantage to be attained
by any party as result of the Bull
Moose movement will accrue to the
Democrats. This was clearly fore
seen when the movement was in
augurated. Not that the leaders de-
sired Democratic success, but that
Col. Roosevelt and those in his con-
fidence, had but one end in view,
and that was the defeat of President
Taft and those who supported him
as against the third term candidate.
While it Is already clear that Col.
Roosevelt cannot be elected he is
still carrying on his campaign in the
hope of defeating and humiliating
the President and his administration
by any means in his power, even
though it should lead to Democratic
success and the consequent evils of
free trade. But the Progressive
movement has reached its climax
and is now on the wane as the re-
suit in Vermont distinctly proves.
And as its purposes and fallacies
come day by day to be better under
stood by the people, and its strength
dwindles accordingly, the Democrat
ic hope of defeating the old-time an
tagonist of Democracy, becomes
more and more faint. The campaign
of education is going steadily on, and
long before the day of the November
election the result so clearly fore
shadowed in Vermont will be practi-
cally assured.
