THE FoRGETTERY
BY Wing Dinger

There is mouldy little spot
Which years ago the Patriot
Into dump for has -beens" wrought
The Forgettery.
Day after day for years, you'll find.
Some outcast of the public mind
Has to this graveyard been assigned
The Forgettery.
AND then the chap who runs the dump
into the Governor-race did jump
And chose for every other chump
The Forgettery.
And as his hopes began to bud
He scattered round a lot of mud
winch threatened for n time to flood
The Forgettery.
But voters, for this mud so thin,
Did dig pit quite deep within
And yesterday they pushed him in
The Forgettery.
There was no binding, driving snow.
But just peaceful twilight glow
To light his way to-you all know
The Forgettery.

UNCLE SANS sHREwpNEss

"Girard" in the Public Ledger SAYS:
Here's crumb of comfort that
looks like at least a billion dollars.
II Europe does sell back to us the
stocks and bonds which our daddies
sold to foreigners. we will get them at
the lowest price of Is years.
That's one figure to remember
when you talk about this matter An
other Is this: The commodities we
are selling to Europe are stimulated
by war so that many of them, like
wheat, are bringing about the highest
price in as many years. Result: II
we can sell the products of mine, fac
tory and farm for these high prices
and pay off our debt to Europe at the
low figure prevailing, Uncle Sam will
have made a bargain quite worthy OF
all his traditional Yankee shrewdness.
There could be worse things for
the United States than swapping high
priced commodities for low-priced Sc
curities."

Senator Penrose was the target for
the most bitter and malignant opposi-
ton that any public man has ever
pie. His triumphant election has dem
onstrated again the futility of per-
|sonal abuse, misrepresentation and
slandeF. He will return to Washing
ton for another period of six years to
uphold the policies of the Republican
party and aid in the inevitable over
turn of the free-trade legislation which
has plunged the United States into a
business and industrial depression.

Recipe to Stop Dandruff
This Home Made Mixture Stops
Dandruff and Falling Hair and
Aids It's Growth
To a half pint of water add:

To half pint of water add:
Day INulll L OD.
Barbo Compound ........A small box
Glycerlne ............... "a OF.
These are all simple ingredients that
you can buy from any druggist at very
little cost. and mix them yourself.
Apply to the scalp once day for two
weeks, then once every other week
until all the mixture is used. A half
pint should be enough to rid the head
of dandruff and kill the dandruff
germs. 1t stops the hair from falling
out, relieves itching and scalp diseases.
Although it is not a dye, it acts upon
the hair roots and will darken
streaked, faded gray hair in ten or
fifteen days. 1t promotes the growth
of the hair and makes harsh hair-s4ft
and glossy. sy.-Advertisement.

not only protect the slope but give
1t a more attractive finish.
When the granolithic walk along
the river wall is finished next spring
still more planting will be done
along the depressed park at the foot
of the slope. This park is in some
places quite wide and 1t will be an
easy matter to produce green sward
that will gradually hold the dirt and
although 1T may be flooded at the high
stage of the river. no serious damage
will result. Those who are familiar
with the conditions along the river
north of Division street realize that
grass will grow luxuriantly even
though the river does occasionally
sweep over it. 1t appears to grow
as result of the nourishment that
comes from the deposits at high
water.
Now that the grading is going on
along the river front the people are
able to see just how attractive will be
this long stretch of park. With
abundant planting and care for a year
or two the slope and walks will fur
nish delightful resort for thousands
of our people.

splendid tribute of his home commun-

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. 4
WHAT TT ALL MEANS.

~ great Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania has come out of the
political hysteria and folly that
took possession of her people in 1912.
Nobody who really understood the
people of the Keystone State ever
supposed that their desertion of the
sound principles of Republicanism
was anything but temporary. Thou
sands of our voters were swayed by
the extraordinary personality of Theo-
dore Roosevelt into momentarily iden-
tifying themselves with third party.
But when the last vestige of an excuse
for the maintenance of a separate
party for the promotion of progress
inevitable that those who were Re-
publicans at heart should return to
embodies their ideals. 1t was alto
gether out of the question to suppose
liey WOuiu thSH IuSllSelNeS VIII Jle
party that has only now once more
demonstrated its utter incapacity.
Another important factor in bring
ing about the result so overwhelm-
ingly registered at the polls yesterday,
people of Pennsylvania against the
unconscionable campaign of personal
abuse and Misrepresentation that was
waged in opposition to those who
stood in the way of the qualification of
an inordinate ambition for power.
This campaign of abuse started away
back in the primaries, when distin-
guished citizens and lifelong Demo-
Gratis were subjected to a TRADE of
bilingsgate because they dared to Of
fer themselves as candidates before
the members of their party without
the consent of the arrogant represen-
tatives in Pennsylvania of the school
master at Washington. Later the
guns of mud were trained upon the
candidates of the Republican party
chosen by the people in full accord
with the fair-play spirit of the uni
form primary law, which law was
flagrantly outraged by the notorious
deal in which the bosses of two de-
generate machines undertook to
thwart the expressed will of the vot-
ers through the arbitrary taking down
of one candidate and setting up of
another. Thus in the very first appli-
cation of notable reform in the
statutes governing the nomination of
candidates, those who had been loud
est in demanding the reform were
foremost in breaking down its pro-
visions. Could the honest voters be
expected to give their approval to the
inherent political immortality of this
transaction?
incidentally the right answer has
been given to the question raised in
this campaign as to whether the
Christian voters of Pennsylvania could
be corralled for the promotion of
purely personal greed for office. 1t
is doubtful whether any candidate or
group of candidates in the future will
have the presumption to lay public
claim to the possession of the church
vote
Pennsylvania has once more reg
istered its tremendous protest against
Democratic maladministration at
Washington. The whole country will
understand just what Pennsylvania
means.

Oyster Bay agree in regarding the
Colonel as wholly dissatisfied with the
conduct of the campaign and frankly
distressed over the condition of the
country In spite of his most valiant
efforts he has not been able to get
OH the front page, a fact which he
attributes to malefactors of great
wealth. who have entered into a CON
spiracy to ignore him.

Health it appears is embarrassed by
the discovery of 81 barrels of ancient
and over-ripe sauerkraut, which is
held In storage in Reading We were
unaware that any sauerkraut could
be too strong or odoriferous for the
palates of those who are fond of that
highly popular fodstuff.

THE TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION
CrVVI HAT has become of the
M old-time torch light pro-
w cession?' asks an upstate
exchange.

= =
NA/ old-time torch light pro-
w cession?" asks an upstate
exchange.
Answer-it has emigrated to Ann
vile. At least that is the last place
we heard of one this campaign.
Torch light professions used to be
pleasant and picturesque features of
our State and national campaigns.
Where is there a man of middle age
who has not at some time in his youth
shouldered a torch, donned an oilcloth
cape, put on pair of white leggins,
a red helmet and went forth to show
his colors behind a brass band and
dizzy transparencies? And where is
the young man, then a boy, who has
not stood on a street corner until his
ears smarted with the frost and his
toes felt like iceS waiting for the
torch light procession to pass?
But it is all over. The torch light
has been driven out by the electric
light. In the glare of street arc the
old-time torch would look like a tai
low candle at noon time. Perhaps
somebody will invent an electric torch,
in which case maybe we shall witness
a renewal of these picturesque fea-
lures of old-time campaigns.

BUNGLERS.

TT HANKS to the laundering tactics
of the astonishing individuals
= temporarily in control of the
Anti-Saloon organization in
Pennsylvania, that organization is
confronted with the awkward task of
seeking the enactment of local op-
ton measure at the hands of a
Governor and a legislative ma
jority which have come into office

Anti-Saloon bosses.

returns that large numbers of earnest

ton do not take the present leaders
of their movement seriously.
