FIRE MARSHAL'S
POWER DEFINED
Procedure in Service of Notices
Is Outlined by Deputy
Attorney General
An opinion defining the procedure
of the State Fire Marshal in serving
Jiotiees for improvement of buildings
as to lessen fire hazards, which
question has been arising in a number
of counties of the State recently, was
given to-day to Marshal Port by
Deputy Attorney General Horace W.
Davis- A number of complications
have ensued because the act of 1911 j
provides that when a building is found
in such condition that makes it subject
to an order of the marshal for removal
or repair, "such order shall forthwith
be complied with by the owner or oc
cupant of such premises or building."
Mr. Davis says, in part: "We would
advise you when making an order upon
the owner of a building or premises to
serve a copy of such order upon the >
occupant, with directions that ho per
mit the owner to immediately enter '
such premises for the purpose of com
plying with the order, and that he
notify you of his consent thereto.
When the order is for removal or de
struction of the building the occupant
should particijlarly be made a party so
that he may be given the right of
rppeal for the purpose of showing that
the dangerous condition may be reme
died by repairing, for the reason that
the extraordinary powers given to you
must be guarded so that they may not
be made a vehicle whereby the owner
may dispossess a tenant prior to the
termination of his lease or otherwise
improperly interfere with their con
tractual relations."
Conspirators Sentenced to
Be Shot in Their Backs
Rome. Oct. 20. An Austrian spy
named Larace and two Itali;uts have
been condemned to be shot in the
back.by the Ancona court martial for
complicity in the attempt to burn thej
port of Genoa. With this conspiracy,
it seems, were connected explosions in
munition factories in Milan and else
where, aggregating in damages a total
of several millions of dollars.
The Austrian, who was at the head
of the plot, sought out Italian crimi
nals. gaining an ascendancy over them
so that he could command their co
operation for only nominal sums. In
one case the price for an attempt to
blow up one of Italy's greatest steel
works at Terni was about SO. If this
attempt had been successful, it would :
have retarded military operations for
several months.
I-arace had In his possession when
arrested eight jointed walking sticks

A WOMAN'S WAY
Cornelius Vanderbilt said, in a re
cent argument on preparedness:
"Thev who would rely on a volun
tary militia, instead of on a conscript
army, know as little about real pre
paredness as a woman about tobacco.
" •Why," satd she. "it's all nonsense
to say a woman can't buy her hus
band's cigars. As for me. 1 never j
have the least difficulty."
"'No? What's your system?" she
was asked.
" 'I just take along a sample stump.' j
she said, 'and there's never the least j
trouble about matching the shade!' " —j

PRIZE EDITORIAL OF
COLORED WRITER IS
STRONG FOR HUGHES
Among the three prize winners in |
the series of editorials on "Why'
Charles E. Hughes Should be Elected." j
the Philadelphia Ledger announces
the name of James Weldon Johnson. 1
an able colored author and writer. |
who is vice-president of the New-
York branch of the National Associa-<
tion for the Advancement of Colored
People. Mr. Johnson is a native of
Jacksonville, where he was born in
1871 and has written many poems be
sides doing much literary work. His
editorial in support of Mr. Hughes
is as follows:
"The vital consideration before the
country in the coming presidential
election is in some degree a question
of choice between the policies of the \
two great parties, but in an over-1
whelming degree it Is a question of j
choice between the personalities of the
candidates of the two great parties: it i
is a question of choice between the!
man Charles E. Hughes and the man :
Woodrow Wilson.
"This anomalous condition has been ;
forced on the country by Woodrow ;
Wilson. He has made his own unlit- j
ness for the presidency a greater issue ■
than the unfitness of his party to be j
continued in power. This he has done
by acts inexcusable in the head of a
nation.
There are partisans of the President:
who point to his program' of legisla- j
tion, claiming that it more than over
balances all his shortcomings. But
even if it is granted that Mr. Wilson
should receive credit for whatever j
constructive legislation Congress has 1
passed in the last three and a half
years, the claim of these partisans j
would not necessarily hold good. Mr. I
Wilson's shortcomings are not the
kind that can be overbalanced. A >
man might become the president of a I
bank, and by his industry and his 1
ability as a financier build it up Into a '
great and prosperous institution. He j
may smoke or swear or drink or refuse
to join the church, and still be a good
bank president: but if he embezzles
one dollar of the funds intrusted to
him he at once and forever establishes
his unfitness for such a position, re
gardless of what his other qualiflra- j
tions and virtues might be. Mr. Wil- I
son has demonstrated his unfitness to
be President of the United States, not
withstanding what his abilities and
achievements may be.
"No man of timidity, of Indecision,
of inaction and of cowardice Is fit to
be the head of a great nation, no mat
ter how learned or virtuous or elo- 1
quent he may be. As well make such
a man the captain of a ship. Such a
man at the head of affairs constantly
places the State in danger, and his in
fluence saps the very thing that makes
a group of people into a nation. Pres
ident Wilson has shown that these arc 1
ingrained traits of his character; and |
he has brought us the danger and
wrought us the harm.
"His partisans declare that he kept
up out of war. In truth, no country
has sought a fight with us, but these .
traits of Mr. Wilson's character have i
more than once brought us to the |
brink of war and, in the case of Mexi- !
so, backed us over into a petty and j
dishonorable war. But greater than I
the danger has been the harm. The?
very fact that a considerable numberl
of American citizens are not ashamed j
to proclaim openly their thanks that j
timidity and cowardice on the part of
the President kept the country out of j
war Is proof of the emasculating in
fluence the administration of Wood-,
row Wilson has had on the nation. A
few more administrations like the'
present, and the United States would
cease to be a nation worthy of the;
name.
i"But timidity, indecision. Inaction
and cowardice are noi the only traits
of character that make Woodrow Wil
son unfit for the presidency of the
| United States. In nearly everything
that he says or does there is revealed
a profusion, a smoothness, a shiftiness,
a lack of simple directness, a sense
of calculation, a flavor of opportunism
that makes It difficult to believe In his
sincerity. There is always the impres
sion that he is not going straight and
! clean to his object. And even when he
j appears to be going straight and clean,
there the impression that the ob
ject he seems to be going at is not the
main object in his mind.
"Who can escape the conviction that
j Mr. Wilson is at heart a pacifist who
1 for policy's sake has masqueraded as
'an advocate of preparedness? Or
that he is at heart an anti-suffragist
who for policy's sake speaks fair
words to the women?
"These traits of character are en
tirely at variance with American
ideals. The people of this country
want to feel that they have in the
White House a man whose actions are
not governed by cowardice and cover
ed up by hypocrisy. They want a man
who speaks right out, who says what
he means and means what he says and
acts accordingly.
"Such a man is Charles Evans
Hughes. His whole public career is a
record of serene courage, sincere con
victions and straightforward action.
No one can doubt his meaning or in
tention when he says concerning the
Adamson bill: "If I were President
I would not yield to force, whether
put forth by capital or labor or any
other agency—l would rather stand on
that principle and be defeated than
yield one ,lot or t!ttle to get into
office." No Intellectual sleight-of
hand in those words. The truth and
earnestness behind them can be felt.
"Charles E. Hughes fits the true
and traditional American ideal of
what a President should be. He Is the
man that the country stands In need
of now, and the man the country will
stand more In need of In the critical
years to follow. The United States is
to-day nationally sick. More than
anything else, it needs the national
spirit revitalized, the national con
sciousness reawakened. That is what
Mr. Hughes means when he says: "I
want to see America firm in insistence
upon her just rights with the Ideals of
peace, but knowing how to secure
peace with honor. 1 want to see
America prepared for every emergen
cy. alert, efficient, going forward in
the front rank in the new era of com
petition among the nations."
"We shall have such an America
under Charles E. Hughes; such an
America under Woodrow Wilson Is an
impassibility."
"I FELT SO BLUE
AND DOWNHEARTED"
SHE SAYS
Well-known Pleasant View Woman
Tell-, How Tanlac Brightened
Her Outlook on Life
"Life held no pleasures for me,"
says Lizzie Parlaman, of Pleasant
View, Pa., for I always felt so blue
and down-hearted that I took no In
terest in anything.
"I do not expect to have the spirits
and vigor of a woman in her twenties
but 1 do like to have a cheerful out
look on life. And yet I was In such
bad shape that I could not seem to
smile, I was that low spirited.
"I was constipated. my kidneys
gave me a great deal of trouble and 1
had a constant backache. The kind
of dull heavy pain that you wake up
with In the morning and that stays
with you all day long and never lets
up.
"One day as I was reading my paper
I happened to see an article about
Tanlac and as 1 know the person
mentioned I read it just out of idle
curiosity. Strange as it may seem the
symptoms mentioned were identical
with mine and as this woman spoke so
highly of Tanlac I made up my mind
that I would try It.
"It Is certainly a wonderful remedy
for in the short time that I have been
taking it I can notice a wonderful
improvement in my health and spirits.
"It has changed my whole outlook
of life and I now take a happy cheer
ful view of everything. The backache
has left me entirely, my kidneys have
recovered their strength and I am no
longer toubled with constipation. I
feel better and happier than I have
for years.
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tor.i'c so highly praised by so many of
our local citizens is now being Intro
duced here at Gorgas Drug Store,
where the Tanlac man Is meeting the
people and explaining to them th?
merits of this master medicln'e.
