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.—

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

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

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-

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.
