BEEF. IRON AND VINE
Round the Town


TF SHOE leather weren't so expensive
nowadays we would love to spend all our
time wandering round the town watching
other people work.
We have often wondered how many Of
the people who pass the Columbia avenue
station Of the Reading Railway every day
have ever stopped in there to look at the
old Rocket" one of the locomotives that
our srandfathers admired. 1t is a very in
teresting sight Made In London In 1888
1t was brought over and ran on the Read
ing line between here and Norristown
until 1879. 1t is preserved in the Colum-
bia avenue station, and as you look at 1t
you will wonder how the engineers Of
that day liked having to stand UP all the
time There was no cab and no seat for
the driver, only an open platform.
Then there is a wonderful big brewery
on Columbia avenue, where we stopped the
other day TO watch the curious machine
with many claws that tightens the hoops
OF beer barrels
At the corner Of oxford and Lawrence
streets we discovered a wooden cigar
statue, not the usual wooden Indian. but
a figure of Sir Walter Raleigh. We are
sorry to say that he was wearing a decora-
ton that looks very like an Iron Cross
He has a plumed hat, a pointed beard and
a very droopy mustache. As Sir Walter
Raleigh is popularity supposed to have
been one Of the first to introduce the
Indian weed into England it Is interest
ing to find him commemorated in a cigar
sign.
We would like to take the Kaiser for
stroll down Second street to show him
that it would not be easy to starve America
out. We have rarely seen so much food
as Is displayed along those pavements.
Crates of poultry. barrels Of fish on cracked
ice, every kind of vegetable one ever heard
Of pushcarts of potatoes trays of apricots,
carrots onions, horseradish, and, most al
Turing of ALL the big brown loaves Of rye
bread with that shiny crinkly crust. And,
turning down toward the waterfront, we
found a sign that seemed to US very ro-
mantle. It read: Birdsong G. Co., Foreign
Nuts and Fruits.
On Second street, just below Callowhll,
lovers Of the picturesque ought to be in.
terested in the Black Horse Hotel for
it has a stahleyard that looks just like
those in the old English taverns. There
are long galleries looking down over the
yard, like those at the Tabard Inn. Just
outside the hotel we had an adventure.
Two little boys were quarreling. and one
in anger seized little black purse that
the other was holding and threw it into
a puddle in the street The poor little
purse flew open and It's contents-one cent
dropped into the puddle. The small owner
burst into tears. and I came to his rescue
to help salvage the treasure He picked
up the purse and went dabblng in the
puddle to find the coin. And, by some
magic, which need not be explained, we
found three pennies in the mud. He was
greatly cheered by this, and so was I.

BEN TILLMAN

CtENATOR TILLMAN whose fatal illness
~ is reported from Washington. is
splendid example of the possibilities for
q man to emerge after he has reached
maturity from a narrow provincial point
OF view into the realm of broad-mnded
craftsmanship.
He was about forty-fve years old when
he entered the Senate. He was convinced
then that the Senators were group of
men interested solely in protecting the
bioated plutocrats, with no patriotism and
no loyalty to the democratic principles of
Americanism. He was going to pitchfor'i
the Representatives of Wall street ont
of Washington.
But he had not been in the Senate long
before he discovered that there were honest
mon outside of South Carolina. He frankly
confessed the error of his earlier views,
and paid handsome tribute to the un.
selfish craftsmanship of his colleagues.
And the Senate, on the other hand, be-
ran to respect the sterling honesty and un-
f1inching Americanism of the rough-and-
ready southerner who had wrested his
state from the control of a planter oil
garchy and put it in the hands Of the
people as a whole.
We have said it before, but it should
b said again, that much OF the credit Cor

ELWOOD HAYNES when he made his
~ first American automobile. reserved his
trial fight for the Fourth of July, because
he wished to make the occasion one Of
national significance. He gave John d.
Rockefeller and Henry Ford good reasons
for celebrating the greatest day of the
year with an altogether new fervor Of the
spirit. Gasoline was selling at eight
cents a gallon in those days. Now it costs
twenty.eight Mr.. Ford was in the bicycle
business. He, too, was experimenting with
gasoline engines. He became enormously
rich because, after the motorcar had been
developed a rich mans luxury, he de-
termined to bring 1t within reach Of the
great mass of the people.
GEORGE H. McFADDEN, Jr is believed
~ to be the first Phladelphian who ever
used horseless carriage in this part of
the country. About twenty years ago he
imported one Of the first French Pam
hards Mr.. McFadden lived on the Main
Line . 1t is said that parties Of sightseers
were frequently organized to watch him
coming into town at the appalling rate Of
fifteen miles an hour. You could hear the
crash and rattle of Mr.. McFadden's Pan
hard when 1t was about half mile away
The French had improved greatly on the
first American cars. 1t Is to the French
that the world owes its obligation for the
automobile in its present form. The early
American builders clung to the scheme of
the familiar wagons and carriages Of the
period. The French devised the first
machine with small wheels, and they were
the first to put the engine under hood
forward Of the drivers seat.

In order that there might be no mistake
about his sentiments he said in a speech

OF course he has been arrested for viola

And the summer made for mating,
Faithful to the vows of spring;
And the autumn made for rowing,
When the birds have taken wing;
And the winter made for sleeping
For long and restful sleep.
Like the slumber of the weary,
And as dreamless and as deep.
WHO can think Of spring or loving
w While the marching armies sing?
Who can think Of summer mating
While the cries of battle ring?
Who can think of autumn rowing
While their souls are taking wing?
Who can think of rest or slumber
While the bugles sound to war,
Till the marching feet come homeward
And the bugles sound no more?

THE NATIONS MOTTO:
"Save the Waste and Win the War"

In The Times announcement COL
umn will be found the name of E. c.
Papin, of French Village, who has de-
cided to make the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for County Court
Judge from the First District. Many
friends, recognizing his fitness for
that position, have persuaded Mr.. Pa
pin to enter the race. He is a pa
triotic Frenchman, So years old, was
born in Marion township, where he has
lived all his life, and is recognized as
one of the substantial citizens of the
north end of the county. The good
people Of that community feel that
they are entitled to this nomination,
as they seldom have candidate for
county office. For nineteen years Mr..
Papin conducted blacksmith shop at
French Village, which he still owns,
but at present is actively engaged in
farming. He is not seeking this Of
fee for its small emoluments, as he is
a busy man, but was persuaded to
present his name only by reason of
the insistence of his neighbors and
friends, who feel that his services as
member of the County Court would
be of real benefit to all the people, in
looking after the county's best inter-
ests. His claims are entitled to ear
nest consideration.

now willingly rests his claims to a
third term in that august body. He
feels that the experience he has had
will the better enable him to render
full and efficient service to his con-
stituency. Mr.. Poston is well known
throughout st. Francois county, where
he has spent his entire life. Should
he receive the nomination of his par
ty for the Office of Representative,
then he promises his constituency the
same faithful and scrupulous atten-
ton to their best interests which he
gave to them in the 46th and 47th
Assemblies.

The name of ], c, yHeifner, of Flat
River will be found in The Times an
nouncement column, as a candidate
for the nomination for Circuit Clerk
on the Democratic ticket, subject to
the nominating primary election,
which will be held August 9Th. Mr..
Heifner is barber by profession and
is now running high-class shop in
Flat River, though he intends to turn
its management over to others on
June LIST in order that he may devote
his entire time to the pursuit of his
campaign, as he does not propose to
slight apy part of the county, and
hopes to see every voter in st. Fran
co.'s county between now and the pri-
mary election. Mr.. Heifner is Al
years old, has a wife and four chill
dren, is exceedingly wellliked and is
popular with all who know him; he
is a loyal, active, working Democrat
and for four years he was secretary
of the Democratic Club of Farming
ton, where he resided for twelve
years. During that time he als'
served for several years most salts
factorily and efficiently as express
agent in this city. His qualification
for the proper care Of the duties O
Circuit Court Clerk cannot be ques
toned, and his name on the tickle
would be the source of considerable
strength.
