MESSRS. GREENE AND CODDING
HAVE TAKEN THE WISEST
COI1RSE

The Republicans of this district
are IN harmony as to one proposition,
to wit: That the thing to do at Chi
cago in June is to name for President
the man who at that time shall seem
to have the best chance of winning
the election in November-be he
Taft, Roosevelt, or someone else The
Republican party is greater than any
man or any faction in it, and the
party's success is the primary con-
sideration. No one disputes this,
and all good Republicans want a Re-
publican and not a Democrat elect
ed. Let us look at the matter as it
is, and with an open mind. Is 1t
not now as plain as day that If the
present tension and antagonism be-
tween the Roosevelt and Taft forces
shall continue to grow and augment
till convention time it may not be
wise to nominate either of them?
Surely, that fact must be patent to
all men who see clearly and can
form correct conclusions. This being
the case, is it not equally clear that
it would be extremely unwise to send
our delegates to Chicago pledged to
support either Roosevelt or Taft, or
for that matter, any one else? The
nominate the man who can win in
November, and all considerations as
to the wisdom or expediency of this
man or that of this course or an
other course, converge and are in
separately Joined to that central fact.
We will name a winner If we can,
but at this time no one is wise
enough to say who will by the latter
part of June seem to have the best
chance OF success in the Fall. and
for that reason and for no other, the
idea of pledging delegates in April
to support a certain candidate in the
convention more than two months
later is wrong and entirely unwise
Messrs. Homer Greene of Honesdale
and John w. Codding of Towanda,
have asked that they be sent as del
egates. and have given fair notice
that If elected they will go un-
pledged to any candidate. The only
pledge they make is that they will
as delegates do what seems best for
the good of the district and of the
party, and that is all, in our opin-
ion, that should be asked of them.
They have chosen the best course,
and we believe there are enough Re-
publicans in the district who en-
dorse their action to give them the
election on April 13. Vote for
Messrs. Greene and Codding, the un-
pledged didates.-Towanda Re-
porter Journal.

SEND UNRESTRICTED
DELEGATES,

The New York Press an anti-Taft
paper, editorially favors un-
structed delegates as follows:
Instructions of the Republican Big
Four of New York will mean that,
though every delegate at the Chicago
convention should feel absolutely
sure that unless there was a COM
promise nominee in June defeat
would come in November, yet the
chiefs of the delegation from this
State of 100000 Republican voters
could not lift a finger to save the
party.
Instructed for Mr.. Taft, the Big
Four will be powerless to render any
service whatsoever to the party,
however desperate the emergency.
They can simply repeat the name
of Mr., Taft, though theirs should be
the only voices so raised. 1t would
be the same if they were to be in
structed for anybody else.
Delegates from the State of New
York, with its 100000 Republican
voters, should be free to act in the
convention as the needs of the par
ty demand. If they are merely to
be labeled and tagged like express
packages for delivery to a consignee,
anu uOJnluS uOIe, lue rest VI IU6
New York delegates might as well
take along with them a quartet OF
wooden Indians to be the Big Four
of the Empire State.
New York's Big Four should be no
more instructed for Mr.. Taft than
for Colonel Roosevelt. No more for
one or the other than for John Jones
or Samuel Smith.
Though the Big Four, every one
of them, be resolved in their minds
that Mr.. Taft ought to be nominated,
they should go to Chicago free to
act as at the last moment they may
find it necessary to act. They should
be left free if they were known to
be resolved in their minds of to-day
that John Jones ought to be nomi-
mated.
Whatever is to come of the Chi
cago convention, whatever is to come
of the vote on Election Day, the Re-
publican Big Four should not be
sent to Chicago as mere baggage.
Instructions of those delegates can
not make Mr.. Taft one iota stronger
than he is. They can, under certain
circumstances, make laughing
stock of New York Republicanism.
Instructions of New Yorks Big
Four can do nobody good; they may
do the Republican party irreparable
harm.

What Mr.. Finn is Doing.

Washington, d. c.. April 10
The prominence of William Finn in
the movement for the election of
Roosevelt delegates is considered by
politicians here as a curious feature
of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign for
a third term in the White House.
To Pennsylvanians in Washington
who knew Finn and were familiar
with his politics his election by
Colonel Roosevelt as one of his
campaign managers was somewhat
puzzling He never had been a po-
litical associate of the Colonel and
he no longer was commanding fig
ure in the politics of either Penn
sylvania or Allegheny county.
Reports to the managers of Presi-
dent Taft's campaign show that in
fighting for Roosevelt's delegates
Finn is struggling to regain his
former prestige and control as boss
of Pittsburg. He is rated many
times a millionaire, and he made
most of his wealth out of politics.
AS boss of Pittsburg he controlled
every branch of the city government
and took every contract he wanted,
and he wanted, practically, all of
them. His domination of Pittsburg
politics furnishes one of the most
astounding chapters in the history of
municipal government in this coun-
try. He was not popular boss. He
was selfish, insolent and domineer-
ing. Even the few men he trusted
in politics hated him. For years he
had Pittsburg by the throat. Final
ly an outraged civic pride rebelled.
Pittsburg decided to rid itself of
Finn, and it did 1t is now nearly
ten years since he was driven from
power and contracts. The loss of
contracts was the fatal blow.
Reports received in Washington
from Pennsylvania show that Finn S
activity in the campaign will cost
/ Roosevelt hundreds of votes. Re-
publicans who have not forgotten
Films rule in Pittsburg have with
drawn from the campaign for the
election of Roosevelt delegates. Rep
resentative Mckinley and his asso-
ciates at the Taft headquarters now,
more than ever before, are confident
that Taft will win in Pennsylvania.

Socialism at Head of Movement.

Extract from the speech of Dr..
Butler, temporary chairman OF the
New York Republican State Conven-
ton, April 8, 1912:
Make no mistake, my fellow Repub-
licans; the inspiration and driving
force behind the movement for the
overthrow of representative insti-
tutions and for the attacks upon the
integrity and independence of the
courts is socialism. There is the
enemy Socialists may we'll look on
with satisfied contentment while the
poor, blind folk who still call them
selves Republicans or Democrats do
their bidding and labor to put into
effect their policies. The civil liber-
ty of the individual and the institu-
tion of private property are hateful
in their eyes. They dream of a col
lectivist state in which every indi-
vidual will be a pawn moved on the
chessboard of industry and politics
as the overpowering might of a nu-
merical majority may determine. Do
not call that progress. Do not call
that consonant with a republican
form OF government. Do not call
that American.
We must challenge these doctrines
each and all, in our own party and in
other parties at the very outset of
this campaign; and we may be per-
fectly confident that il we do the
American people will respond just as
they responded in 1906, and that af-
ter the polls close in November next
one more great question will be set
tied, and settled right. Our rep
resentative government will be Sc

Where formerly only a solitary pen

the height there now lies whole Mt

house stands safe and secure, sunk

Round 1t are set up fifteen tents large

"The principal food depot is about

modesty reminds me Of a village tink-

This tinker had a rather crusty
disposition, and his pastor said to him
one day:
MY man, you should love your
neighbor as yourself
"'Yes. sir, said the tinker.
But the pastor had in mind nasty
black eye that the tinker had given
the bricklayer next door. and 80 he
went on:
DO you, though, do you, honestly,
love your neighbor as yourself?'
"'Yes, sir: oh. yes. sir said the
tinker; and he added. but I'm a mod

"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:
Make yourself Christmas pres

strict and accurate account OF all you
receive and all you disburse. 1t will
show what you save and what you
squander what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench. what you waste and
how you waste tt
But said the storekeeper. I've
already got cash register which does
all that and more

salesman, frowning.

piled; and with a smile at once rev

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
. great measure dependent upon nor
NAL. healthy. regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively. and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach. liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and s1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to Dr. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St. Mon
ticello. Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.
