One OF The Greatest Living Masters o.
Human Speech.

Last evening DR.. George r Wedding
concluded bis second series of lectures in
this city. His audiences during the pas
week have aggregated more than ter
thousand, and in them the most cultured
thoughtful people Of Scranton have been
largely represented. His lectures have
elected expressions of the warmest ap.
probation from those who have heard
them. and their inspirational and edaca.
uonal value to the city can scarcely be
over estimated.
Scranton has often beea called poor
lecture town, but the success attending
tue Vending series shows that this idea S
mistaken one, and it undoubte div en-
courages other efforts of 81 niiar char
acter
Dr. Vending was little known before
his first series of lectures was given but
today he is reco: nized AS one Of The
greatest living masters of human speech
He IS great orator. possessing that mys-
ferrous power that Thrills an audience
aud holds their breath,ess attention.
But he is more than an orator, he is a
profound student of science, theology and
history. His lectures are the ripeped
fruit or lifetime of reading and lnves-
tigatIon. He has thoroughly mast cred
every subjsct that he touches and SO he
llumines every theme with VIII CHI he
deals HIS lecture upon rhe Man of
Galilee" is an unanswerable argument
compelling faith in the founder OF Chris
tianity. But his lectures on unseen
Realities. saul of Tatsus. "ctonewali
Jackson, Abraham Linco IL aud The
French Revolution" are each of them a
masterpiece IN which his extraordinary
rhetorical and philosophical power are
strikingly resolved.
The churches that have united in
bringing DR.. Vending to the city have
rendered 6 service that is of the greatest
value to the community. Scranton is
very muchtheir debtors. while DR.. Wend-
ling may be certaiu of a most enthusias-
tic hearing whenever he is able to return.
We commend him to other cities wher-
ever there is the culture and intelligence
to appreciate the best things Scranton

Still Joking

The recent joke Of the Ennterprise
publisher about Saving the taxpayers

blooming sue cess that, in his last weeks
issue, he gives two column continue
tion OF the same. having called 10 his
assistance his local legal adviser who
is joker from jokcrville. Their two
column joke shows such bold departure
from some Of the rules Of truth and
veracity and such wild and frantic
flights Of their imaginations that Il
needs passing word OF explanation In
order that the reader may enjoy the
full force Of the joke.
The Enterprise publisher denies our
statement that his bid for the county
printing was for legal rates.
II his bid was not for legal rates,
then he had nothing filed with the eoun
" board that could be cosidercd MS n
bid. Il Is truo that he made no men
,ion OF any rate or charge In his appli.
cation or bid, but Il Is also true that
the county board had advertised for
bids and. In order TO consider his appli-
cation ns n bid. II must be understood
TO make some definite rate OF charge
for the work to be done. The commits
sioncrs fully understood this and. when
they opened the bids and found that
the Enterprise publisher had failed tc
mention In words or figures his rate OF
charge for the county printing, the,
asked him why he had not mentioned
some definite rate OF charge as the 9th

TED that the Herald o. Tered "a do as
much ''ora-fur tirc ro-nty in 1913 for
s2lo as Il did for the county in 1912 for
considerably more money. He forgot
to tell his readers that 1912. was nm G.
lection year and that by far the largest
part OF the county pr nting was election
printing which printing the county will
not have in 1913 This is shown very
clearly by the fact that the publisher
Of the Enterprise received from phillips
county in 1912. for election printing
lone over 500.
What laughable joke these Joker
perpetrated when. in referring TO the
Herald they say. "He issues a diatribe
OF invletive contribution Of the legal

oi this provision Of law, was of course
apart OF thr joke. The urging" dem
oerats TO support his opponent might
have been coie through hln pnper but.
as It was not, this also must have been
part OF the Joke.
The Herald, In commenting on their
great joke, will not follow them In their
wild flights Of imagination, even appeal
iig TO the classical literature for illus
trations, tanother contribution Of tho

very well and ihoy no doubt thought Il
a very necessary part OF their joke.
