CANNOT QUIT HIS POST
ALTHOUGH FIVE WANT IT
Glenolden Postmaster and Applicants
for Job Await Word From Capital.

for Job Await Word From Capital.
A postmaster who wants to quit his
job and five other citizens in Glenolden
who want to fill It are waiting today
with impatience for word from Washing
ton to relieve the situation.
The postmaster is Joseph Fl. Fairlamb.
In addition to filling his post as a Gov
ernment employe he also acts as agent
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and in order to centralize his business in
terests has the postoffice located at the
railroad station.
But the servant of the Government is
growing old. He Is veteran of the Civil
War and has been postmaster for nearly
40 years. He wants to retire and spend
the remainder of his days IN ease.
He informed the Government of his in
tentions more than a year ago, and civil
service officials held an examination for
the postmastership of Glenolden last Oc-
tober. Five applicants for the position
successfully passed the test.
They were Miss Annie Wilson, who re-
ceived the highest mark; Horace F.
Hopes. Thomas Murray, Miller Platt and
Mrs. l.. P. Bakey. Mr.. Falrlamb drew
a breath of relief when the applicants
were successful and prepared to with
draw. But his pleasant anticipations of
life OF ease were soon dashed-the Gov
ernment forgot all about the matter.
81 have written to Washington repeat
edly," said the aged official, but the
only reply I can get is, The matter will
be Immediately investigated. cannot
resign because my resignation will not
be accepted, and 1t is against the law
for mo to forsake my post. The mail is
heavier today than it was 40 years ago
and am growing old. The railroad COM
pany will pension me in a few years.
and what is to become of the postoffice
after that, because 1t cannot remain in
the station?'

the doors. The candidate repeated the

against Penrose, declaring there was no
reason for even rigid Republicans to vote
for him since the tariff would not be an

In speaking of Penroses dubious vic-
tory at the primaries, Mr.. Palmer said:
ut will give Mr.. Penrose cause for long
and serious thought II he will give mo-
ment's study 10 the returns of the May

OF his Republican organs choose to call
primary triumph Is nothing more or less
than a population.
"Penrose will go down to certain and
ignominious defeat in November. for the
people are coming to a realization of the
truth that political morality Is q prime
essential to further political effective

BRUMBAUGH REPUDIATES
PERSONAL LIBERTY PARTY
Candidate Disowns Endorsement Of
Anv others Save Republicans.


Any others Save Republicans.
The gubernatorial nomination thrust
upon DR.. Martin @. Brumbaugh, without
his knowledge or consent, by the Personal
Liberty party, a non-partisan party rep
resentinR the liquor interests in the state,
was absolutely repudiated by him yester-
tay in his formal statement given out at
the beadousrters of the Brumbaugh Citi-
zens' League.
Doctor Brumbaugh declared he sought
only the nomination of the Republican
party, and that until he heard OF the Per-
sonal Liberty party indirectly on october
%. he did not know there was such a
party or that he was its candidate.
Immediately after hearing that my
name appeared on this party's ballot"
said Doctor Brumbaugh, II consulted my
attorneys and directed them to have my
name removed. This they informed me is
impossible under the present election
laws.
IL therefore hereby and in the strongest
language at my command, repudate
utterly its Endorsement of ME, and pledge
myself, IL elected Governor, to demand
the immediate enactment of such legisla-
ton as will make It absolutely impossible
hereafter in Pennsylvania for any mans
name to be placed upon ballot without
his written consent"
The candidates on the Personal Liberty
party ticket, with the exception of Doc
Tor Brumbaugh, were men on whom the
1lduor interests could rely as being hostile
to anti-liquor legislation.

H0ME0PATH DEPLORES LACK
OF MEDICAL FRANKNESS
DR.. r. A. Patterson Says Physicians
Should Be More Confiding.


Or. Robert A. Patterson. a member of
the State Homeopathic Medical Society,
in an interview today criticised ply
sicians for their failure to take patients
into their confidence when treating them,
and added that large percentage of
deaths is attributable to this cause
This is especially true, he said, in the
treatment of cancer. Doctors make the
fatal mistake of not letting the public
know through the various mediums at
their disposal what the first symptoms
of cancer are and impressing on their
minds that in its first stages cancer is
purely local. is not contagious or intec-
tious, and is amenable to treatment II
the case is taken in hand at the first in
stance of Its presence.
Premature announcements of so-called
new cures for the malady, said Dr. Pat
terson, Is also a cause for the high NOR
tality from cancer, as 1t raises the hopes
of those afflicted, only to be disappointed
in r. short time when they find that the
new cures are a failure.
"Ths X-ray and radium are cases in
point" he said. Wonderful cures were
claimed for the former agent but It
was later determined that IL not only
did not cure ths disease, but actually
aggravated 1t.
when radium made its appearance in
the field as a curative power for cancer.
page after page appeared in the various
medical journals throughout the coun-
try dwelling at great length on its ad-
vantages, and those who were among
the first to praise and welcome 1t are
now loud in its denunciation as a worth
less medium OF treatment, and 1t Is to
be regretted that this too hasty recon-
mendation of newly discovered methods
of treatment has led. among physicians
and laity, to a fatalistic tendency to
delay and senseless running after
false gods
Several methods for bringing tho ply
sician and the public into closer rela-
tionship with each other were recon-
mended by Doctor Patterson. The most
effective OF these, he said. was through
the columns OF the daily newspapers.

OLD DEFEAT STTRS
LOYAL DEMOCRATS
IN DIAMOND STATE
Republication of Thomas w.
Monaghan for Governor
Places Serious Obstacle in
Path of Party Leaders.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 2s.--Anget
over the defeat OF Thomas NJ. Monaghan
I, for Governor two years ago is again
ge cropping out among Democrats.
j The feeling Is so strong in one district
OF Christiana there was not vote cast
at the Democratic primary election.
- According to the story John Dorman,
Gtof Henry Clay. regarded as the Demo-
cratic leader in that district and an
-. inspector OF election, refused to hold
a primary election in that district and
so told Democratic leaders.
2 Dorman denies he refused to hold an
>. election. and says that the ballot boxes
s- and the books OF voters were ready
for the purpose of the primary election.
: but that the Democrats in that district
;, decided not TO vote.
"a After the primaries the story came out
Monaghan, it is said, was asked to talk
TO some OF the voters in the district and
= 10 Dorman. According to citizens in that
= section, Monaghan was told that he had
- business in Wilmington and that he
.a had better attend to 1t; that IL he had
~ anything to ask for himself the people
would listen, but II he came as an
i, emissary OF Willard Salisbury there was
."nothing doing"
The mix-up over the primary election
" does not cause as much agitation among
= the Democrats as the declaration which
comes from there that Democrats in that
= section do not intend to vote at the gen.
eral election. Dorman admits that there
is feeling in the district on account of
the defeat of Monaghan and that there
is not likely to be a big vote polled
Meanwhile, Congressman Franklin
Brockson and United States Senator
Salisbury are both here devoting their
g attention to the campaign.
~ At present the Democrats are devoting
their attention to attacking the Republi-
can administration of county affairs,
charging extravagance. while Republican
{. officials are promptly denying all OF these
statements

with alacrity.
:. But how do know you're honest?'
: asked the stranger. Most honest men
have money"
We'll, can get some at home" said
Polenda.
Forthwith he went home and got his
savings, amounting to $780, Then he
showed the stranger the office OF the
hullder, From there they went to the
Reading Terminal. Being assured that he
was in the railroad station. the stranger
drew blue handkerchief from his pocket
Put your $3.50 in that" he said.
Polenda did. Then the stranger drew
40 from his pocket and put 1t in the
handkerchief.
That Is for showing me the office of
the builder" he said, land this $40 is
for showing me the Reading Terminal.
Take 1t, my good man. and enjoy your

The stranger then made a rapid move

Polenda thought was the handkerchief

Polenda hurried home his face
