President Harding i'm his recent mos

Ii GOV. Kendall thinks for Il moment
that the people of Iowa are not backing
his administration he would be undc-
ceived if he would get ont into the
rural districts. Those who have fol-
lowed his record since his inauguration
are convinced that the state made no
mistake in calling him to the highest
office within its borders. The governor
not only understands and appreciates
the needs of Iowa, but is active in try
ing to bring about more desirable con-
dtions.

generally is slow to complain of eX-

Union labor in Iowa will not make
any friends by attacking Gov. Kendall
for sending the militia to Ottumwa to
preserve order. The troops were sent
on the representation of the mayor of
the city, the sheriff of the county and
a citizens committee that they were
needed. Considerable disorder had Oc-
cured. a number of men had been in
jured and employees of the packing
company had been attacked while going
to and from work. Gov. Kendall simply
did his duty, just as any other man
worthy of the position would have
done under the circumstances. That
portion of orga nized labor that thinks
il right to quit u job and prevent other
men by force aud intimidation from
taking the jobs thus abandoned do not
Zens. which includes the right to work
at any legitimate job that can he Sc
cured. No, it was not disgrace to
Iowa. as some extremists among the
labor unions say. that the MALTA was
sent to Ottumwa. hut ii was Il disgrace
TINT the necessity of sending them
arose. The people of Iowa are back
of the governor in this controversy.
Altcgeldism is not popular now and
never was popular in this state or any
other state where the people love order
and respect the majesty of the law.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The following, written by Walt
Mason and published in Hearst's Maya
zine. contains much food for reflection.
1t depicts the tendency of the times
and reveals the danger that is Turk
| ing in the pathway of the youths OF
the land That we are making 1t too
easy for our boys and girls has long
been recognized by thoughtful people,
but they are unable to turn the tide
from the course it is taking. engulfins

d,,ys that real character foundation is
built:

dead that he doesn't recall with tender
emotions the old swiMmin' hole of his
hoyhood? The old swimming hole was
Ia great American institution before the
advent of this age of:auxury. There
was such resort in pur hamlet and
there the boys repaired ms often as they
had Il chance. They had no bathing
costumes any more than the fish or
muskrats. They frOliclsed around in
real water and became proficient in
swimming and diving; and when they
emerged from the water they dried
themselves with bulrushes. unless they
bad been so prudent as to fetch along
a few sheets of sandpaper for the pur-
pose. can't recall any better fun than
we used to have at the old swimming
hole; and there are lnyriads of old
boys who hold similar sentiments.
But this great sport is too nuladylikc
for the present generation. Our town
of Emporia is situated at the junction
ef two rivers. which are comparatively
moist most Of the year. They would

used for that purpose long ago, when

Industry and good management. they
acquired their present bungalows in
Easy street. Many of them boast of
their early trials and struggles, and
with good reason. Yet they do not
seem to realize that their trials and
struggles were good for them, and made
their success real victory. SO many
of them say. I'VE will make life easier
for our children" And they do.
They make life continuous jOyridc

Fraternal Baseball

The baseball league of the fratenal
orders of Penns Grove has begun its
/ games. On Tuesday the Odd Fellows
/ had an easy victory over the Tall
/ Cedars, winning 15-5 in a seven-in-
ming game. The games will be played
every Tuesday evening on the Dye
Works field at $50.
On Thursday the Odd eFllows met
the Junior Mechanics but did not find
as easy picking as on Tuesday. The
Odd eFllows have several old baseball
stars who still have an excellent
knowledge of the game.
The Juniors played a poor game of
ball and error after error resulted in
eight of the Odd Fellows runs. The
only earned run of the game being
Loper's home run on a long drive to
left field in the third inning which
also brought in Jones from second.
The Juniors big blow up came in
the sixth inning with two out, two
men on base, and Craig had Jones
fly in his hands and then dropped it.
Another muffed high fly by Dolbow
helped things along, and then to make
sure Of the third out, he got Smiths
grounder and put him out himslf.
Again in the eighth came little blow
up, resulting in Collins and Loper
scoring.
The Juniors first run came in the
fifth when Clair came in from third
on a passed ball Their other run
came in the ninth when Hertz scored
on Kilmer's single. If it had not been
for the sensational grand stand
playing of Eiserman and Holsinger in
the last two innings the Juniors would
have had a few more runs, but these
two felders pulled in what appeared
to be clean hits.

continued LAoiiA RAbN 4
hundred boys from here in the war
between the States to help keep the
Union together with bayonets. He
was in the battles of Fredericksburg
and Chancell0rville.
When his term expired he enlisted in
the Navy and was on the frlgate Min
nesota, which carried forty-four guns
and did effective work bOmbarding the
rebel forts along the James river.
He returned from the war with
good record which made him captain
of his company. After the war he was
appointed captain of militia, but the
boys had enough of war and no COM
pany was organized.
After returning home from the war
he became pilot of the tug Annie NJ.
Wood, later the Atlas, J. P. White,
James McFadden, Stella and Cynthia.
His brother, James A. Denny, be-
came his partner in buying the Susie
A. Mccall, which they ran on the
ferry line between Penns Grove and
Wilmington until they sold out to the
Wilmington and Northern Railroad
Company.
Capn jim and Cap'n Sam Denny
were the best know watermen on the
Delaware river for over half a CEN
tury. The freight boats they owned
were the Greenwich, Bridgeton, Sara
J. Fleming, Elizabeth Nansciver En-
deavor, Poconoket, Admiral, William
Numsen, Denny Brothers, Harry
Davis and Greenboro.
These boats were used every spring
to take fresh shad from Delaware bay
and river to the Philadelphia market.
For fifty years Captain Denny did not
miss the market, in all kinds of
weather. He never had an accident
nor injured a person in all his fifty
years experience.
Some years ago they built wharf
ran a freight line to Philadelphia.
While the war boom was on he sold
the boat and wharf and developed
real estate on both sides of Denny
Avenue between Penn and Franklin
Streets in which he was successful.
Having retired from boating he de-
cided he wanted a new home, in part I
of Sheble grove, where he could see .
the boats passing up and down the A..
river but his brain continued active
for business. About a year ago he |
saw a fine oil using engine for sale f
at a bargain, because larger power
had to be put in the boat using it. He
also found lumber at a bargain, He
knew there was business for a freight
beat on the Delaware river and that
he could have the timber built
around the engine and he again cast
his fortune on the water and reap a
big profit After four years on land
he again sighed,
Oh. for hours of youthful joy,
Bring me back my boyhood springs.
Id rather sail the Delaware
Than wear the crown of kings.
So Cap'n Sam is gain on the water,
happy, keen-eyed and cheerful as in
his boyhood days.
He has seen Penns Grove grow from
a small fishing village to a city of
$4,000 with Carneys Point added The
Dest of life is for one to feel that he
lad an active part and interest in its
growing welfare. A citizen righteous,
and one who has acted his
part with superior ability and success
