GOLF COST LANSING
 THE JOB OF MAYOR '. IN HIS NATIVE CITY

Lansing is a name which has be- come tolerably familiar to the people, of Europe in the last fifteen months, as the signature attached to the var- ious notes which the Washington gov- ernment has dispatched to the bellig- erent nations. The owner of this wide- ly advertised name. Robert Lansing, Secretary of State in the cabinet of years old tomorrow. Mir. Lansing was born in Watertown, N. Y., graduated from Amherst College thirty years ago, and. after, studying law. formed a partnership with . cousin and hung out a shingle reading Lansing & kIansing' in Watertown. He soon be- gan to specialize in international law, and his fame spread abroad, but, all though popular in his native city,-he was never honored by election to any 3munactpal office. Once he ran for mayor, on, the Democratic ticket, but was defeated. One reason for his de- feat was that he was a Democrat, and another was that the large Canadian contingent iM Watettown favored his opponent, a subscription solicitor for =: local newspaper. because he was 08tlVo or the OOulH1Ou. It IS. Sdlu that MT. Lansing might have been elected anyway except that he was ac- cused of responsibility for the intro- duction of golf into Watertown. The Booth game was then in its infancy in the United States, and it was view ed with great deal of suspicion by
 many people. Up to the time the fu- ture Secretary of State organized golf club and laid out links in Watef- town, the principal outdoor recrea- ton of the older element had been croquet. without casting any Asper- sions on that sport, it may be said that it is not a game calculated to arouse any wild enthusiasm in the breasts of it's devvotees. Golf was different. It wasn't long until Water town was filled with golf widowA. while the local dealers in liquid re- treatments were confronted with a
 growing demand for Scotch, the in- evtiable accompaniment of golf. The outraged spouses of the golf fanatics went out to get MT. IAnsings political scalp when he ran for mayor, and they had the whole-souled support of the croquet crowd, who bitterly resent cd the rivalry of golf. As a result Ar. Lansing was defeated-although Ratertown is sorry now.

N|LKES-BARRE
 SPEECH FAILED, DECLARES LORD
Roosevelt's Drive Among Labor Men Won't Make
 They Overlook Issues.

New York, Oct. 16,-James Lord, president of the mining department of the American Federation of Labor. declared today that Colonel Roose- velt's speech at Wilkes-Barre will be an absolute failure as an effort to alienate working mems votes from President Wilson.
 "This is the supreme effort of the Hughes people to break the solid ranks of labor," said MT. Lord. "They realize that the nations wage earn CTS are united politically this year as never before in the history of the country, and they are counting on MT. Roosevelt's personal popularity and plausible professions as the ono and only forlorn hope of preventing a landslide for Wilson in every indus- trial center of the country.

 .'worling men have little patience with legal fquibbling and technicali- ties. And al the analyxing and hair splitting of which Candidate Hughes is capable will never make them lose sight of the one big fact.--that Wilson is the first President to come out flat for the eight-hour day and that he hes thrown all the influence of his great office behind the movement to extend justice to all industry. That is what President Wilson has done. and they can't belittle it or explain it Ax~,o~,o

PENNSYLVANIA

Pennsylvania, which is the prize Roumania hopes to take as the result of her participation in the war, was first heard of in history as part of the ancient Roman province of Dacia
 Later it was incorporated in the old German empire. but in the sixteenth century John Zapoly, aided by the Turks, set up an independent govern mont. This continued with many vic- issitudes until 1899, when Emperor Leopold I. incorporated Pennsylvania into the Austrian dominions. In 184S Pennsylvania, for all political and ad- ministrative ends, was incorporated with Hungary. The Magyars, although in a minority constitute the ruling class, and the Roumanians who are the largest element of the population, have been kept in subjection, and have been given fow political and educa- ftional advantages. This has naturally aroused igreat discontent, and the ma- jority of Transylvanians would well come the incorporation of their coun- try into a great Roumania. The Tran sylvanian Alps form for 52O miles a natural boundary between Transyl- vania and Roumania- The area of Pennsylvania is about 21,000 square miles, and 1t is on all sides enclosed by mountain chains, while the inter- fer is traversed by smaller chains. The country has great mineral re- sources, and, except in the higher mountain zones, the vegetation is lux uriant, giving the country much agri- cultural and horticultural value. In the mountains sheep herding is the principal occupation. By far the most numerous element in the population, although long excluded from political equality. is formed by the Rouman- ians. The Hungarians and Saxons form the other principal racial groups. There are many gypsies and a num- Der of these have abandoned nomadic life and are farmers. Jews, Armen- Hans and Greeks are prominent in the cemmercial life of Transylvania.

Bill Brennan, one of the best um- pires who ever worked at that trade, had to take a job in a Class c circuit this year to get his bread and butter. That was his punishment for his leap to the Feds.
