Pcnrosu mi Able illnn. Philadelphia Press: Holes Pentose was elected to the lowei house ut Huirlsburg in 1SS5, w hen he w as only 25 j eai s of age, and manj lemembei the tall, lather gaunt figure of the joung Phlludelphlan who occupied a seat In the extieme real low of desks to the ilsht of the speak er's dils Ho was at all times a giace ful and fluent talker, and his iaio abll itj in this line boon won for him a dis tinction in that bod which will long be memorable as having contained miny men of binlns and ablllt. One of the sulking changes In recent ycais In Sena toi Pento-e's manner has been the almost entliu absence of gesticulation In con nection with his ihetoilcul effoits. When he Hi st appealed in the house he Ubcd his aims in emphasis with a long sweeping motion. 'When he becamo emphatic ho would strike tho bound bundle of bills on his desk until It fnlily bounced. Put thnt lias all disappeared, even before ho as sumed the henatoiial toga. In bpeaklng now Senator Penrose takes an ensj atti tude and nbout the only gestuio In which he indulges is with his right hand, which he uses with Index flngci pointed toward tho speakei for emphasis The one chaim ubout Senatoi Penrose, as coming fiom men who have known and associated with him foi j ears, Is his amlabllltj Ills manner to those whom he meets for the Hi st time is rather distant and icsered, but closer acquaintance develops his frlendlj qualities and once the lco is broken he Is found to be one of the most companionable of men. It was in 1SSS that Penrose advanced trom the lower house to the upper. He brought with him to tho senate chamber the piestlge of an able parliamentarian, a fluent speaker, and a correct logician, Ho had coirected his early mistake of attempting to speak on subjects in which he was not vitally in terested and tho result of It was that he, bj confining his pffoiU to matters of Interest to his constituent)), added to his .cputation Trom an unbiased stand point his careei in Hatrlsbuig as a legis lator and a leprescntatlve of tho people both In senato and house is immeasurably superior to that of a good many whose names at a lamillar In the lecent history of the state The .Mnu lor tho Place. Allentown Chronicle. Wo have the best reason foi believing, in ill sincerity and honesty, thut tho Ilepubllcans of Penn sylvania and the people of tho state In general will have np teason to l egret the election of Ml. Penrose. We believe that FUbsequcnt events will dcmonstiatn the wisdom of his choice. He will enter the United States senate with an uuassallablo title and no arc, confident that In good time ho will rank unions the ablest and most influential members o' that body. Ho represents experience In legislative matters, dcmonstiated ability, lino per sonal presence, ready and convincing elo quence, familiarity with tho great ques tion of finance and tariff, industry, apti tude for tho acquisition of knowledge and a mental training that will combine to make htm tho peer of any member of the henate. Add to this tho oneigy and stiength of his joung manhood and an ambition to seivo his state ana country to tho bust of his ability and he will measure up to the full requirements of tho exalted position to which the people of his state through their chosen representatives have Query: "DOES THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF MAN RENDER HIM UNFIT elevated him. Mr. Penrose Is an ablo lawjei nnd a trained leKlslotoi He has been a member of the Peniisjlvanla as sembly for man) J eats, first as a icpte sentatlvo and later as a senator. In both bodies lio took honorable rank and has ever been an Industrious, r-areful, wise and diligent lawmukei. His piomotton to a wldei field of legislation is tho reward of duty well pel formed Th it he was tho choice of the people of tho state Is evident fiom the great majotlty given him Mnnj gentlemen In tho state, emi nent in various occupations, were eager to ns-Fime the duties and icsponslbllltles of United States senatoi, but few of these could present an equal claim on tho score of fitness with Mr. Penrose, nnd though the claims of each weiu cutefullj weighed In tho public's Judgment tho populir mind held fast to its Hist choice and stilctlv adheied to the conviction that Mr. Pen. rose wus the man for the place. A llriglit Voting .Hnn. Philadelphia Inqulier: Peniose Is a joung man. The constitution pi ov ides thut no man can become a smator who shall not have attained to the ago of JO j ears. Mr Penrose Is but 30, and jet for ten eats ho has been a member either of tho house of lepresentatlves or of the state senate. Ho took high honors at col lege, and both his studies and his Inclina tions have led him Into stateciaft. He will go to the United States benato with tho Upe expetlenee gained In active and In telligent work In the Pennsjlvanla legis lature He has had a hand In nearly all tho great measutes of tho past ten vears Ho was a stutdj advocate of the Bullitt bill, which forms our city charter, and made It a "pedal study. Going to the United States senute, as he does, at such an eaily age, and with his natural abili ties for statesmanship, he should become u most valuable addition to the legislative branch of the national government.
