Notable

Perhaps it will be admitted in
Market Square that Penrose's petitions
break record
THAT machine slate meeting in
the Democratic Club of Phila deIphia.
seems to have created more stir here
than in the Quaker City.
Judge TreXler appears to have
many and strong friends all over the
State.
Manufacturers Of Northampton
strongly urge support of Penrose.
Palmer and Mccormick are going
to tour Montgomery county TO-DAY
and tomorrow.
They are now talking about audit
ing the expense account of Mayor Ter
myn, of Scranton.
Its a little late for the Palmer
Mccormick league to be decrying n
mud-slinging campaign.
According to Ryan men. the mud
singing started in Market Square.
The row in the State Bull Moos
ers. especially the assaults against the
Van Valkenburg faction, are making
the adherents of the party here rather
nervous.
-Trexler's friends appear to have
been busy right in Prather's home dis
trict.
If any Republican Headquarters
had ever undertaken the booming of
candidates for nonpartisan nomi-
nations the way the Democratic State
headquarters is doing there would
have been walls from Market Square.

WHEN YOU GUESS RIGHT

When you guess right. you are a
great man. When you guess wrong.
you are a dub.
Fortunately for the heirs of n. Og-
den Mills, he made more good guesses
than poor guesses, hence their s35,-
100000. But he made a great many
bad guesses at that.
1 count upward of 450, 900 shares of
various stocks which the appraisers Of
his estate say are worthless. MIR. Mills
received much credit for his long
headedness In getting big slice of
the renowned Comstock silver mines.
That was his best guess.
But the world never heard of his
124, 600 shares of valueless Bessemer
Consolidated and his $4,000 shares Of
worthless British Guiana Gold Min
ing or his 100000 shares of Brunswick
Consolidated. which are not worth a
street car fare.
James Keene, the renowned Wall
street operator, said the man who
could guess right four times out of
seven was sure to win in the stock
market.
IT is like that in business. Mills
guessed atrociously In many instances.
but he made up for 1t and more by
making good guesses that netted him
more money than Croesus ever saw

A the breach in the Democratic
~ party in Pennsylvania widens
4 \ the Republicans are closing up
their ranks and preparing to
administer sound drubbing to the
little group OF, bosses now in control of
the Democratic machine. When
Democrats in a public meeting de-
nounce the methods and practices OF
the Palmers and McCormicks as dan
gerous to the future being of
their party IT is little wonder that the
Republicans who sought false gods in
1912 and gave comfort and support

White House slated candidates that
the patriotic sentiment of the country

embroglio will aid them in some way,
but while standing shoulder to shoul-
der with the President there is among
the people a strong undercurrent of
protest against the administration for
the fatuous policy that contributed to

der will not be forgotten in the gen.
eral preparation for hostilities. Fine
phrases and epigrammatic philosophy

regarding the whole unfortunate busi-
ness nor should the patriotic support
of the administration in this State be
mistaken for endorsement of the Will
son ticket here.
