.PENROSE GIVESA
FAREWELL SPEECH
Says Some Things Not Calculated to
Make the Bull Moose Chief
tains Feel Comfortable

A tribute of farewell was paid the
Progressive party by Senator Penrose
in Philadelphia yesterday. He de-
clared it actually no more existed, al
though it nominally may linger for
some time yet. His remarks were
called forth by the announcement
made by Clifford Pinchot. its senatorial
candidate, that he proposed to live in
this State and to continue the battle
for conservation and other things.
Said Senator Penrose:
1T is. of course, very cheering to
learn that Mr.. Pinchot has decided to
live in Pennsylvania hereafter. after
his life has been spent in the District
of Columbia and in New York. The
vote he received at the election is not
nearly so substantial as he describes it
to be. Many thousands of Democrats
who left Palmer, knowing that his
case was hopeless, voted the Washing
ton party ticket in the hope, through
It, of electing Democrat as Gov
ernor Many more thousands of it's
votes represented the ballots of pro-
hibltionists and local option voters,
who cast their choice for Mccormick
and Pinchot because they had received
the Endorsement of the Anti-Saloon
League. These factors entered very
largely into the apparent Washington
party vote, but they are elements
which are just as likely to return to
their original moorings in another
election.
'As matter of fact the tide to-day
toward the Republican party is
stronger than ever. and it will continue
to grow stronger until the next presi-
Dental campaign, when a Republican
President surely will be elected. Ma
tional issues then will be paramount
and there will be no room for third
party side show
The Progressive party has gone
into a decline in every State in the
Union. and in New York. Colonel
Roosevelts own State. it fell behind
the Sulzer vote on the American party
which was gotten up at the last min
ute. In Pennsylvania the Washington
party has or shortly will disappear,
like a score of similar parties in the
last ten years"

FISHING THROUGH LAKE ERIE's
TCE

Few and far between are the win
ters that do not provide an oppor-
tunity to fish through the ice of Lake
Erie. AS soon as a period of still,
cold weather has formed a thick COW
ering to warrant the venture, scores
of men with dog sledges, and other
equipment suggestive of polar ex-
ploration, open the winter fishing
season. In the December number
of Popular Mechanics Magazine ap-
pears an interesting account, by Roy
C. Dover. of the methods employed
by the fishermen. He says:
Regardless of how luck is running,
care is taken not to stay out too long
1t is the aim of the fishermen to be
close ashore by the time darkness
sets in, which means that a start must
be made by 4:30 o'clock in the after
noon, unless a sudden drop in tenn
pature compels breaking camp earlier.
The lines are hauled in. the 'tip-up'
sticks removed. and the windbreak
taken down, with the exception of
the poles, which are left standing for
the following day. All the equip
ment, together with the CATCH is
then packed in the sleighs and the
homeward journey begun. IL a fish
erman spends six hours watching his
'tip-ups' and succeeds in landing one
fish each hour. he considers himself
in fair luck"

WILL THE JAPANESE
ARMIES COME TO EVTROI

The discussion of the possible entry
of Japanese forces into the European
field of war, which has cropped up
since the fall of Tsing-Tau, must take
into account the terms of the Anglo
Japanese Treaty of August IL, 1905.
AS quoted in the Encyclopaedia Brit
tannica, this sets out its objects as
follows:
a. "The consolidation and mainte-
nance of the general peace in the re-
gions of Eastern Asia and India;
b. THE preservation of the COM
mon interests of the Powers in China,
of insuring the independence and the
integrity of the Chinese empire, and
the principle of equal opportunities
for the commerce and industry of all
nations in China;
C. "The maintenance of the terri
torial rights of the high contracting
parties in the regions of Eastern Asia
and of India, and the defense of their
special interests in such regions"
These terms would seem by implica-
tion, at least, to confine warlike opera
tions by Japan to Eastern Asia and
india"

.Sbccfnl 10 The Teleernbh

Gettysburg, Dec 3. Eddie Plank
made good his promise that he would
sign with the team offering him the
most money. Plank signed a Federal
League contract late yesterday after
noon. The contract is general and
gives the Federal League the right to
assign Plank to any team. That he
VAN go to st. Louis is the general be-
lief
Plank has always been considered
one of the greatest pitchers the game
has ever known. He was born in Get
tysburg, Pa, and was graduated at
Gettysburg College. He never played
professional baseball except as mem
ber of the Athletics. having signed with
Connie Mack in 1901. Plank and Harry
Davis are the only men still on the
Athletics list of players who were
with the team in its first year.
Plank's record with the Athletics is
a brilliant one. Each year the veteran
southpaw has done his share toward
keeping the Athletics in the race and
has always been a factor in winning
pennants and worlds championships
for the Mackmen. Plank pitched in
each worlds series the Athletics en-
gagged in, except. in 1910. when Coombs
and Bender did the twirling. His pitch
ing was one of the features of the
1913 series with the Giants. and this
year he lost 1-to-0 game to the
Braves on misplays in the ninth in
ming.

YOUNG SHUCRUE WINS
OVER FREDDIE WELSH
"Silent Joe" a Big Surprise to New
York Fight Fans; English
man Outclassed
Special to The Telegraph

New York. Dec. S.-Young Shugrue
C"Silent Joe") had the best of Freddie
Welsh, lightweight champion, in a ten
round bout at Madison Square Garden
last night Shugrue outfought and
outboxed Welsh in eight of the ten
rounds. Welsh had the better of the
seventh, and the third round was
even.
1t was the best lightweight battle
ever seen in the East. While Welsh
does not lose his title by reason of his
defeat last night, Shugrue's victory
means that the lightweight champion
will have to accept terms for a fight to
finish whenever Shugrue so desires.
Shugrue's work against Welsh was q
big surprise.
Welsh played for the jaw, while
Shugrue picked the stomach for his
blows and they were telling on Welsh
when the tenth round ended Welsh
was badly beaten. His left eye was
cut and his body was a mass of bruis-
es. Shugrue received some hard blows
but he stood the punishment better
than the champion.

WAR AND THE
WORKER.

Let this European war last three
months longer and there will not be
a commercial center in all these
United States that will not be disas-
trously affected by it. An ocean be-
tween the two continents will make
little difference.
Already we are beginning to feel it
in Palatka and Putnam county.
The disasters of one nation, in
these days of quick transportation,
affects all nations, and the destruc-
ton of property on one continent
prevents the exchange of goods for
goods with others.
SO war in Europe means idle men
and women in America. The saliva
ton Of this country is in the fact
that 1OO,OOO,OOO people are at peace
with each other, with no artificial bar
rier between them for the free eX-
change Of their services.
No intelligent wage worker can
contemplate with equanimity the ces-
sation Of the exploration Of our manu-
facturers. And that is what. Eu-
ropean war means. Here in Florida
our naval stores and phosphate COM
ranies have already felt the disas-
trous effects Of the war. They are

THAT TELLS.

1t will be remembered that last May
the Vitagraph motion picture people
of New York sent company under
the management of Sidney Drew to
,Palatka and chartered the steamer
Okehumkee of the Hart Line for a
trip up the st. Johns and Ocklawana
rivers to Silver Springs.
This voyage was made to complete
a six-reel picture to be known as
FLORIDA Enchantment." Several
Palatkans, including ]. N. Blackwell,
Thos. Murray, Moses Folsom and the
Thompsons accompanied the players
and are shown in the picture.
"Florida Enchantment" is now be-
ing exhibited at the Vitagraph thea

seats range in price from % cents to
50 each. 1t is reported to be Won
derful portrayal of Florida scenes.
st. Augustine appears on the screen
in letters of fire, as does Palatka, the
ocElawaha river, Silver Springs and
other localities in the State.
This picture will be exhibited
throughout the North during the
coming fall and winter and will give
our State a great deal of the very
best kind of advertising, in which Pa
a and tributary territory will
come in for a considerable represen-
tation.
Most every one has looked with ca
ger eyes and been edited, instructed
and delighted with scenes caught by
the camera in foreign countries, been
thrilled by pictures depicting COW boy
and Indian in the wild and woody
west, been awed by adventures among
wild men and wilder animals on all
the continents, been entranced by the
beauty Of woodland, stream and for
csts in countries far from Florida,
and yet no State is more richly en-
bowed by nature with views Of beau
ty which appeal to the aesthetic
taste.
Our history is associated with the
daring, heroic, poetic, romantic and
chivalric exploits Of early invaders.
The heroism Of our Indian is the most
graphic in American annals-some Of
!. enacted on the banks of the St.
Johns and Ocklawaha ,ivers-and
along our coasts cling traditions If
pirates and freebooters from many
countrie4, and buried treasures on
sand islands guarded by the tides Of

Editor Palatka News:
When you denounce a mans state

ness will prompt you to give him
space for a rejoinder. In your issue

Every sheriff in Florida, who has

Orlngs one to the tolls. st. Johns
County, our neighbor on the east, is

of veracity between you and myself.

and grateful as | am for evidences
Of your friendship, | cannot refrain
