What i wroiijr. This growing re
(i.uise to the mob spirit is not the
Americanism our fathers and mothers
taught us when, as little children, we
nestled at their Unee. It is not the
Americanism of the Declaration of In
dependence, which holds as unalienable
the rf;;ht, of every man to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happines.-. It
is not the Americanism of the Consti
tution, tor a caidinal principle in that
Ritat instrument holds that no parson
shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop-
i ty without due process of law, while
every mob is a inen.u e to all three
and every act of intimidation a direct
assault on the foundations of justice.
It is not the AmeiicanlMii taught in
our churches and our schools nor sanc
tioned by the good books that we
1 1 ml nor by the wise counsel that we
hear. It has no suppott In flirKthm

Wisdom by Ucpcw.
-w-lll"; AlUmEPri of Senator Da
rn pew to the senior class of the
JL Wharton school of finance
and economy of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania on Wednesday
last upon "Practical Politics" contains
much that Is of value everywhere, lie
warned young men not to begin their
careers by looking for otlkco. Although
Its icwaidh will be larger at the begin
ning than those from regular employ
ment thero Is no permanency or legiti
mate pi emotion in public life. Years
of service go for naught. No money
can he ultimately made In public em
ployment, and therefoie no competence
laid up.
lint at tlie same time he urged eveiy
young man to take an active Interest
in party politics. "You should ut once,"
he said, "becuiue a member of that
patty whoso pilnciples are neaiest to
your own fnlth. Panics can only suc
ceed by organization. Mobs never win:
discipline always disperses them, l'ur
He are the sunender by individuals of
pet projects untl pet purposes to cer
tain broad general principles which we
In common with thu gieat mass of the
party believe are essential to good gov
ernment. No matter how- close the
party organization you cm Hilda place,
because It needs workers. Join at once,
if .von live in tlie country, the club or
organization of your town: if you live,
In the city, of your dlstiicl. (Jive time
and attention to party woik.
"You ivlil find that you can do it
without Interfering with your work or
your profession. A few evenings in the
months heforeand during tlie campaign,
diligently and effectively employed, will
give you at once recognition and stand
ing among the piactical men who man
age the party In every locality. You
will soon becoaue known, your advice
and services lcrpiircd and your inliu
ence will extend from the district to
the county and from the comity to tlie
state. There will be many tilings in
tlie party organization which you dis
like and many men whom you detest.
You will find, however, that tlie lead
eis have gained their position both be
cause they have the indescribable itial
ities of leadeiship and give their time
and minds to politics as a business.
"If you wlt.li to accomplish reforms
or change conditions, labor lo do it
within the organization. It is only
when the organization becomes abso
lutely conupt and when you can take
Willi you tlie intelligence, and moral
seu.-e of your community that you can
accomplish anything: by an independ
ent inoveniiiil. The history of all par
tics and of all free government Is one
of compromise. If each man could have
Ills way there would he no party and
theie would be no government. 'Half
a loaf Is better than no bread' has been,
whether expressed or not, the practical
policy of every successful stutcsman."
I'nllke some men on tlie western
slope of life. .Senator Pepew does not
hold that mankind is going down grade.
Said he: "Tlie twi ntietli century for
the rnlted Stales is a. period full of
opportunities greater than those which
were presented to Hamilton, Jelferson,
the Adamses and linger Sherman;
greater than weie presented to Web
ster and Clay and Calhoun: gieater
than weie presented to Lincoln and
Chase and Seward: gieater iven than
have boon presented to McKlnley and
his compatriots. Politics nre cleaner
and purer than In what are known as
tiie good old limes. Kdueatinii is more
widely dilfiised and there is an acces
sible public opinion never before so
easily open to appeal."
If one word might lie added to these
excellent thoughts, we should say,
speaking, as he spoke, In young men:
Don't become critics. Don't form the
habit of holding aloof fioiu the stress
ami stir of every-day life and pointing
out sarcastically wheio the facts fall
slnnt of tlie ideals. (Sot in tho push,
Jin something, l.cnin by exporioiiec the
handicaps that beset the man w ho
achieves and tlierefoto learn to up
preiiatc things thai nre well done.
Carry out tliisiulo in politics, business,
religion, Ciiitv it out in social lela
lions. It wil bring ,ou into touch with
your fcllow-iueii und if there's merit in
you it will liud Its level.

PAHADb: AT HAZLHTOX.
After some discussion, Hnzleton was
awarded the October 10 parade. Maur
ice lluggan, of South Scranton, was the
mover of tlie proposition to give llazle
ton the patade, and it was endorsed
by John M. Muck, of Kinkston.
The latter said that last year the
parade was given to llazleton, but had
to be called olf almost at tho last min
ute, because of the mine stiiko which
was then in progiess.
Chailes Lavin. of Wllkes-Barie, op
posed having a general parade at
llazleton or any other place outside of
Scranton and Wllkes-IJarie. Jle said
tlie other cities and towns are too
small or too lemote to pioperly accom
modate the diocesan parade and to
biing- out a representation thai will bo
a ci edit to tho union. Mr. huvin
thought it unwise to have anything but
a district paiado lo any place outside
of Scranton and Wilkes-Haiie.
Michael Duggau. of llazleton. made
a sluing argument In favor of that city
and picscnted formal invitations Irom
tlie uuoor of llazleton and I Jew 1C. S.
Phillips, the pastor of St. Cabiiel's
chinch of that city, inviting the paiado
to be held theie. The invitation to pa
rade at llazleton was seconded by J.
C. (Jallagher, on behalf of tho Scran
ton societies, and P. M. Thornton, on
behalf of Wilkes-narie. The motion to
parade at llazleton was adopted with
practical unanimity.
KATIJKJl M'MANIJS' TALK.
Ite. N. .1. McManiis, of North
Sei-anlon, at the morning session made
a short address. In the temperance
cause there is need of enthusiasm, he
said, and it is because of this en
thusiasm that the Father Matthew
movement has met with such suc
cess during the last year. But the
Father Mathew enthusiast differs
from other enthusiasts engaged in the
tcniperani e work for the reason that
ho is not content to make a con
vert but follow this up by caring for
the convert and preventing lilm from
becoming a backslider. He trusted
that tlie splendid work done during
the year will be duplicated the com
ing year.
Tlie delegates attended mass in the.
morning and It was after 1U.30 when
iho convention opened its first ses
sion. After prayer, tlie delegates lis
tened lo the annual report of tho
president. Hew J. J. Cm-run.

The picture of Father Mnthew, of
