YELLOW JOURNALISM VERSUS REPUBLICANISM. We are amused, rather than con cerned, by the declarations of the lata Democratic state convention, for we readily recognize, as all people must, the co-operation of certain newspapers in their preparation, which papers, failing in their attempt to disrupt the Republican party, have crawled under the tents of the Democracy with their stale and false charges and succeeded in having them adopted as a Demo cratic platform. The platform of the late Democratic state convention will be found in the files of the so-called yellow journals during the pagt few months. We believe in surrounding the press with every constitutional guarantee vouchsafed to it since the foundation of our government, but it is a public menace that these constitutional guar antees should be so misused as to have permitted many of our newspa pers; to have degenerated into a yel low journalism such as is detrimental to any state or country. We charge the so-called yellow jour nals with being subsidized by the full pape advertisement- which they carry. The advertiser is permitted to dictate their policy, and at his behest these newspapers have perverted the news columns and the editorial page frorr> being an honest record of daily events to a labored attempt to misrepresent fact 9 from the platform of the Republican state convention of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, August, 21. 1901. In the dark days of trouble and gloom following the terrible death of President MeKiuley but little thought was given by the sorrow ing people to the immensity of detail incident to the removal of the martyred President's body to Washington and thence to its last resting place in Canton Cemetery. Many read the accounts of the sad journey of Mrs. McKinley and the late President's friends and con fident! d advisers from the scene of the tr tlv to the national capital, and later of the three special trains which bore the many hundred proujiiiL;.; men who made the pilgrimage to the little cemetery in the Ohio town where all that was mortal of the dead man was laid. Yet of these, few gave more than a passing thought to the manner in which the transportation was car ried out. It required but a word from the Cabinet members to President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania Kail road Company, to place at their command the magnilieent facilities of that corporation for the proper transportation of the body oi' the late President, and those who were to accompany it upon its journey. It meant the disarrangement of schedules, the preparation and as sembling at a distant point of equipment which would tax to the utmost the resources of most rail roads, the careful moving of special trains, and all at a moment's .notice. With its splendid corps of capable assistants, actuated by the desire 1 to fulfill to the utmost capacity of j the company the request of the act- I ing rulers of the Nation, the Penn sylvania Railroad Company again 1 demonstrated, as upon many form- j er occasions of moment, its super iority by conveying McKinley's body, accompanied by a large party, from Buffalo to Washington on a train composed of the highest grade of equipment, without a delay upon the whole journey, and two days later transporting on three special trains the many members of the national government who desir ed to pay their last respects at the President's grave. And all of this was done with out holding back for a single minute the enormous passenger and freight traffic over the lines utilized.— Philadelphia Inquirer. Party-Wrecking Politics. The party wreckers among the Republicans have joined hands with Colonel Guffey and ex-Gov ernor Pattison among the Demo crats, and they have made up a ticket, not only for local officers in Philadelphia, but for State Treas urer and for a Supreme Court Jus tice. The ticket is not a strong one by any means. It represents, for instance, the personal interests of ex-Judge Gordon, Democrat; of A. K. McClure, Bryanite; of John Wanamaker, Party Wrecker; of David Martin, the boss of the old Combine of Political Highwaymen. The people are asked to support such a ticket. But why should they do it ? This is a Republican State and a Republican city. Both the State and the city conventions have plac ed in nomination candidates who are above reproach. Simply be cause a Wanamaker wants togo to the I'nited States Senate the people are asked to smash every thing Republican and vote into of fice the personal friends of Wana maker, McClure, Gordon and Mar tin. We do not believe that Re publicans, as a rule, are going to listen to the blandishments and the hypocritical charges that Wana makerism makes. We do not be lieve that the candidates of yellow journalism possibly can win. Down in Washington is a Presi dent of the United States who needs the full support of every Re publican in a most trying time. Pennsylvania, the rock-ribbed Re publican State, is not going to be led astray because a few designing politicians wish to feather their own nests. It is the duty of Penn sylvania to stand by the Republi can ticket and give support to the Republican administration in Washington, Philadelphia In quirer. 1 HODEUpsiKE Republican Nominee for Supreme Court Has a Brilliant Record. THE STORY OF HIS CAREER A Hard and Devoted Student and a Successful and Popular Member of the Bar, Who Has Won the Respect and Admiration of the People. The Republican candidate for asso ciate justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, Hon. William Plumer Potter, of Allegheny county, has had an interesting career. He will not be present at any of the political pather ings during the campaign, but the ora tors will have an opportunity to speak for him and in his behalf, and they can point with pride to his brilliant record as a member of the bar and a justice on the supreme bench. Justice Potter is a man whose instincts and HON. WILLIAM P. POTTER, Republican Nominee for Supreme Court Justice. training combined give him especial qualifications for the supreme bench. When his name was first mentioned in connection with the supreme judge ship the bench and bar of Allegheny county were of one accord in acknowl edging his possession of that even tempered nature and broad and gener ous culture which are so essential to the judge in the minds of all who cher- CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1901. ish high Ideals in government. With potential friends in nearly every craft and calling in the community, the sat isfaction over his appointment to the supreme bench in September, 1901, was universal in the community in which lie has resided and is so widely known. Justice Potter was born in lowa April 27, 1857, being a son of James H. Potter, a Presbyterian clergyman. He is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, his great grandfather, Henry Potter, hav ing emigrated from the north of Ire land about the year 1800, and settled near Pittsburg, where the subject of this sketch now resides with his wife and two daughters, he having married Miss Jessie Deacon, of Des Moines, lowa, in 1884. His early life revealed an ambition to accomplish something in the work! and that youthful restlessness so com mon to the majority of ambitious your.# men, induced him to leave Lafayette College, at Easton, before his course had been completed in order to accept a position in a bank and earn his owe livelihood. His love for books, however, con tinued to assert itself and a strong predilection for the law finally led him to enter upon a course of legal studies, as a result of which he wae admitted to the lowa bar in 1880. In the fol lowing year he returned to Pittsburg, where he devoted himself to an addi tional and thorough course of study, qualifying himself for a rigid exami nation for admission to the Allegheny county bar, of which he became a member in 1883. After six years' prac tice he formed a partnership with Wil liam A. Stone, then a member of con gress and at present Governor of Penn sylvania. SECRET OF HIS ADVANCEMENT. From the date of his admission to the Pennsylvania bar he made steady and substantial progress, and if the query were asked, what has been the secret of that advancement the answer would be this: Eighteen years of unremitting toil over books and briefs; 18 years of bat tles with the most astute adversaries of the profession from all of which struggles he emerged with honor and from most of which h'e emerged with victory; 18 years of determination to win the esteem of his contemporaries by keeping abreast with the progres sive thinkers and workers of his time. His practice at the bar while touch ing almost every branch of the law has been principally directed to com mercial causes. His widely known de votion to the law, his skill in the con duct of critical cases and his marked fledlity to the interests of his clients brought him an enormous practice, an idea of the extent of which may he gleaned from the fact that during the two years immediately preceding his appointment to the supreme bench he tried more cases than any other of the 800 members of the Allegheny county bar. His direct examination of wit nesses was always concise, clear, and thorough, bringing out all the perti nent facts in an orderly manner en abling the jury to grasp every detail. In cross-examination he excelled, and during the latter years of his practice he was regarded by the bar as one of the leading authorities on medical jurisprudence. ALWAYS COURTEOUS; ALWAYS CLEVER. Invariably courteous to witnesses and opposing counsel, he succeded in developing his own case and weaken ing the force of adverse testimony, while retaining the good will of even his opponent. While invective formed no part of his nature, he could still be sufficiently severe with a dishonest or untruthful witness to break the force of his testimony before the court and jury. His questions, though they came like thunderbolts, were so evi dently fair that they aroused no pre judice against him. Uniformly considerate of his brother lawyers, he retained their good will oven after the hardest fought legal battle. While not afraid to antagonize the position of the court if need be, his demeanor towards the bench was always most profoundly respectful and hie arguments were always listened to with the most careful attention. One of the most effective testimo nials to his high standing at the bar is to be found in the fact that in pre senting petitions and documents for the signature of the judges, Mr. Pot ter's brief verbal statement of their contents seemed always sufficient to secure the proper action without fur ther scrutiny by the court as to what the papers contained. This confidence in him on the part of the court, as in all other cases, was gained only by years of the strictest adherence to truth in all hi 3 dealings with the bench and bar. His early association with banking developed a taste for economics, and he has been for many years a careful student of finance and kindred sub jects and has acquired a reputation in that field. His intimate knowledge of corporation and fiscal matters give him a leadership in a community in which he organized and developed to successful operation a number of finan cial institutions. Trust companies, na tional banks, state banUs, insurance companies and corporations of a gen at the close of a long practice at the lished. and by his ability piloted to prosperity. In many of these he was a director, and for all of them he wa3 counsel. A HARD AND DEVOTED STUDENT. He is a hard student in the very broadest sense, having acquired a fine library covering the very widest range of scientific study; he is, moreover, a devoted student of current history and keeps thoroughly informed of ail the passing problems of any moment. As the best key to a man's rt al char- acter Is always the reputation he en joys among those with whom he comes in dally contact. It would gratify any citizen of the commonwealth Interest ed In the supreme bench to hear the unvaried expressions of members of the legal profession and others who are familiar with the character and ability of Mr. Justice Potter. His whole life has been characterized by Industry and integrity of the highest order. His standing and success as a citizen, a business man and a law yer form the basis of that firm con fidence which the community at large has in his future, as one of those into whose keeping has fallen the most sacred trust of the commonwealth. Viewed from the standpoint of the lawyer, in that cold, unsympathetic light under which the legal profes sion scrutinizes the judge, he is a reliable and substantial figure. In brief, he is a man whose nature abounds in those sturdy qualities which despise pedantry and pretense and look askance upon sham and so phistry. He brought to his present position a broad general equipment and a deep human sympathy which has made him a most valuable acquisition to the bench. FIRM AND COURAGEOUS. While possessing a demeanor that Is simple and unaffected and a modesty that is native, his bearing is such as always to bespeak that dignity which is so becoming the exalted posi tion to which he has attained. Justice Potter, while firm and coura geous in his convictions, is of a kindly, chivalrous disposition, and with a charming magnetism of person that makes lasting friendships, and it was these characteristics that enabled him, eral character were successfully estab bar in which he was often obliged to employ the utmost limit of insistance with his brother attorneys and the court, in the trial of causes, to lay aside the weapons of forensic strife, and take with him the respect and hearty good will of his late opponents at the bar. Justice Potter is a staunch Repub lican, and instate and national politics always took an active interest, believ ing that the good citizen should enlarge his field of usefulness by embracing all the opportunities afforded to aid in the selection of properly equipped pub lic officials. He is eminently equipped, both physically and mentally, to dis charge the trying duties devolving upon a justice of the supreme court, with ability, fidelity and fearlessness, and an examination of his opinions, already filed, shows evidences of legal ability of a high order, and bespeaks for him a long and useful career.
