Homecoming Week
Unprecedented Success
Big FourDay Celebration Gathering in Momentum With Each
Days Progress-Ohcial Program and Official
Parade and Line of March

The Great Homecoming Event is
now In full swing. The city is more
gaily decorated and has more life than
ever before in It's history. For five
blocks Main street Is blaze of flags,
bunting, pennants and banners. The
business houses, too, have tried to
Guido each other In decorating their
places of business. They have sue
ceeded In out-doing any previous eff
fort. 1t all makes one think of the
Mardi Gras carnival of New Orleans
Visitors commenced coming In early
In the week from Colorado, Arizona
and Idaho. Yesterday there was a big
throng. Today is the first day OF
rates on the ID. K X. G.. and the Salt
Lake Route, and the committee will
have Its hands full taking care of the
real home Corners.
Tomorrow the town will be swamped
with the thousands who will come
from all Of the nearby towns to help
celebrate the Fourth Of July. The way
the people are coming proves that the
big amount spent in advertising was
money well spent.
The choosing of a spacious building
In the center of the business district
as headquarters and for reception pur-
poses was happy thought, as 1t is
. continually filled with home-comers,
who come to register and learn the
location of their friends.
Everything Is moving without a
hitch and everybody is happy.
No place In town could be found
large enough to accommodate the i'm
mense crowds, so the city officials
kindly granted the use of the lawns
at the City Hall grounds for meeting
purposes. The SPACE not shaded by
trees has been covered with canvas,
making one big open air amphitheatre.
Here all the meetings will be held.

A Memorable watehmestlno

A unique matchmaking, with a mid
night sequel, was held ia the NJ. f..
church at Reedsville on last Wednesday
evening. when just at the uitcbery hour
OF IL, as che Old Year died and the New
Year WAS born amid the firing of guns
and chimes of bells, the last Interest,"
bearing securities held against this beau
tiful edifce was ignited and consumed in
the hands OF Rev. Arnett, the pastor,
thus relieving the church OF all its in
~debtedness, and bringing JOY witbrtha-
first heralls of the New Year 10 each
and all It's members. While this rnost
c~omnendable event reached It's consum-
nation through the nvincible energy Of
the pastor, it bad its inception with the
annual conference, which long ago recog-
nized in Rev. Arnett special adaptability,
as there are scores OF like achievements
standing out as monuments all the way
along his pastoral career.
So successful has Rev. Arnett been in
meeting exigencies, the NJ. f. conference
has made tins his special work. There
were but four or five days OF the old year
yet remaining when the pastor conceived
the bright idea OF lifting the church debt,
which amounted to $345. So on Wednes-
day morning, at 1000 o'clock, lac had
the full mount raised, douned his cler-
zeal robe and took the morning train for
M~asontown, settled with the bank, where
the notes were held. returned on the
afternoon train TO Reedsville, where at
1880 O'Clock he ofiiciated in the marriage
OF a prominent young couple. Alter
sharin& In the feast OF good things that
followed the ceremony, he lett the happy
bride and groom without a shadow to
darken the rosy dream of the-lnta+r-.
repairing TO the c~hurcfh-where a large
audience awaited his coming. The e
ing was pleasantly spent in singing ard
appropriate talks, closing with singing:
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow" The threshold Of the New Year
being crossed, each went his way, scnsi-
bly, feeling that Rev. Arnett already
deeply ~ingrained himself in the hearts Of
the people. He is strictly orthodox in
faith, modernly scientific in thought.
and holds that we are in this world to
help each other along, and TO cast roses
in the way of the weary.

John Wanamaker, who was Postmaster

talks we'll and like a patriot. Before the
Union League Club Of Philadelphia he
recently said:
1--WE have lots of room in this country
for courage and energy, but there is no
room or reason for a panic. What the
President wants and the country wants
are strong men, unselfsh and broad
visioned, able men to help him and his
cabinet TO lead the way. The motto for
the new year is don't be blue.

had full notice far back Of the unrest Of
the people with a tariff unnecessarily

That party was deaf, dumb and blind

nation 10 enforce changes in the tariff
corresponding to the improved machinery
and greater skill Of American workmen.
"The day Of judgment came to the
Republican party in November 1912.
o"Ou H~epuDhcans, worn out by broken
pledges, resolved 10 punish their party's
deaf dumb and blind leadership. They
united against radicalism and deliberately
joined forces with the Democratic brethren
in turning over the National Government

found interest to the business world

"2. A revisal Of the monetary Law 70

undertakings have been accomplished.

Way back in 1896 our Republican
brethren argued that the Democratic
party had forfeited all claim to a further
continuance in power because Of its ex-
t%ravagant expenditure of the peoples
money. At that time the state appro-
%priations aggregated in round numbers
81, 600, 900. At the expiration of the
Hatfield administration it is estimated
that the state appropriations will reach
the $50, 900, 900 mark. II the Democrats
were -extravagant in appropriating $2,-
100000, how would you characterize the
prohigacy of the Republicans? Possibly
the Preston Republican can utilize it,
arithmetic, without reverting to the
original rules of Archimedes, to prove 70
the taxpayers that the increase in the
tax receipt is not due to the proaigacy OF
the Republican state administrations.

which be removed Mr.. Monta9o
principal of the Schools for the Deaf amor

appointment OF his successor through the
newspapers seems 10 be all the informa-

The Review comedies the Governors
right TO name the heads of the various
institutions and has made and does not
intend to make any ~gratuitous sugges-
tons as to whom he should appoint, but
1t is a fact that his method OF dealing
with this important institution has Sc
riously disorganized il. His failure TO
make an appointment during the vaca-
ton last summer left the principal in
such a position that he could not engage
teachers in advance. The result was that
most OF the experienced teachers went to
other states. accepting positions in other
schools. When the schools opened Prof.
Montague had TO recruit his teaching
force on short notice, and now just il
tue middle of the term principals are
changed.
IL efficient work can be done in the
schools under such conditions we do not
see how. In addition to this the board
OF control has forced down the salaries OF
the teachers until their pay is hardly half
that Of similar schools in other states.
Why the legislature classified these
schools with the penal and reformatory
institutions. leaving its management to
the board of control, to be made a politi-
cal football, instead of putting 1t under
the management of the board of regents.

Some people seem to think that truth
