r Bv a HiaO 'Cohrctnendent
Hailel'en; Pa.v June 17. '"Theodere
Roosevelt, tthc Ideal of young Americnn
manhood' was the subject of an ad
dress delivered last night by Olfjferd
Plnchet before the graduating class of
the Mining and Mechanical Institute,
located nt Frecland,' Luzerne unty,
nine miles from there.
Dropping alt thought of politics, Mr.
Plnchet jumped Jnte his car" and sped
across the Pocend Mountains te Free
land, lop miles from Mllferd, te tell
the mining school graduates -of the
sterling qualities which led te 'the sue,
cess of his former Intimate friend, the
immortal Teddy. Ixc snld In pert:
Knowledge is n Blew process, ac
quired through mental discipline and
often with physical sacrifice. When It
Is harnessed te some useful charac
ter, It becomes part of the real wealth
of a community. Without character
knowledge is of little value. It may
Indeed prove of great harm.
. tt is mere Important that our
schools should develop character than
that they should nerferm nnv ether
function. What I have learned of the
werK done by the Frcelnnd .Mining nnd
Mechanical Institute convinces me that
here you have a school which Is ful
filling all the functions which con
tribute te the making of real men.
Used AH in, lowers
' "Theodere Roosevelt Is the Ideal of
every cican-mlndcd and red-blooded
Americnn boy. He wns afraid of noth
ing except of doing a mean or unfair
thing. M hatcver he undertook he 'did
with every power he had. He was
one of the hardest workers that' ever
lived, nnd when he played he played
as hard as he worked.'
'He put everything he had Inte
everything he did. There was never
better Illustration than Theodere
Roosevelt of the old truth as a man
thlnketh se Is he.,
"The truth wW that he used' what
strength he had se fully and In se many
ways that no one else thought of, that
the result was the same as If he had
been the practical giant people believed
him te be.
"He did what ethers believed could
net be done, because he was willing te
try. Nothing Is mere certain than this:
If you don't try you can't succeed. Ne
man ever wen nnythlng worth having by
sitt ng back nnd saying: What's the
use
V "P0080,1'., I repeat, did everything
he did with all his might. That is the
uue great reason et his success."

This feudal looking tower Ws been

te add a bit of beauty at the Bel
mont filtration plant
City Architect Draws en Old
Style at Belmont Fil
tration Plant
A water tower resembling in many
wny.s n battle tower of medieval days
has been designed as an addition and
Improvement te the Bclir.ent filtration
plant.
The tower, standing let) feet in the
air, will be visible from nil parts of
Fuirmeunt Park end West Philadel
phia. A lantern tower will be , placed
et the apex of the conical top and an
electric searchlight will threw out its
rays for miles around.
Chief Davis, of the Water Bureau,
planned the tower as one of the Im
provements te give West Philadelphia
nn ndequatc water Mipply, and tt will
be used In connection with the pro
posed mechanical filters which the Chief
of the Water Bureau Is planning. The
proposed lilter will provide a suifielcnt
amount of water te meet the needs of
hundreds of homes which nrc being
built in the western part of the city.
The tower will serve ns a combined
stnndpine for the higher parts of West
Philadelphia nnd a wash water tank te
ee used in connection with tuc proposed
mechanical filters. The tower will be
used te equalize the ptimpngc from the
Belmont filter beds where there is a
fluctuating demand for wnter. The Nor Ner
u.an style of architecture wns followed
by Jehn P. B. Sinkler, city architect,
in planning the tower. Constructed of
brick and limestone trimmings, the mas
sive tower will he thirty feet in diame
ter and imiexp n water tank having a
100.000-gallon capacity.
It Is estimated the tower will cost
S17.1.000 te complete, nnd when It Is
finished it will replace the unsightly
