THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30,1909. SIGNS OF VICTORY UPON EVERY HAND Philadelphia Republicans Will Roll Up Big Majority. CITY TICKET CERTAIN TO WIN Attempt of So-Called "Reformers" to Get Possession of the Water Works Has Raised an Important Issue In Quaker City Campaign. [Special Correspondence.! Philadelphia. Sept. 28. Members of the local Republican clubs who attended the convention of the Slate League at Altoona returned home impressed with the earn estness and ardor displayed by the rank and file of the Republican party organization throughout the state in behalf of the party's nominees. There was great enthusiasm shown at the mass meting when Senator Pen rose in his speech declared that despite some differences and friction in Phila delphia the entire Republican ticket here would be elected by a large ma jority and that the candidates on the state ticket will sweep the common wealth with a quarter of a million ma jority. What the senior senator said of po litical conditions in the Quaker City will unquestionably be demonstrated when the election returns shall be read on the night of Nov. 2. There has never been more activity shown by the stalwart Republicans of Philadelphia than in this contest. They realize the desperate character of the opposition and the unscrupulous cam paign of misrepresentation that is be ing waged by the so-called Gibboney combination. They see the same old forces that have been arrayed against the Republican organization for the lust ten years and more, with a few new allies joining their ranks in the expectation of being able to foster cer ■ lin s-hemes w-hieh have been re ned down by the Reyburn administration. One of these projects, in which capi talists are ready to Invest millions of dollars, is the sale or leasing of the Philadelphia water works. This great revenue producing plant has been regarded by a little coterh of wealthy Philadelpliians as a great "melon" which they would like to cut up and divide among themselves. When they could not get the Repub lican organization to father their scheme, the Republican leaders having called councils together arvd passed a resolution against all propositions to take the water works from control of the people, these financiers turned in with the insurgents and have since been giving support to tlie independ ent ticket headed by Gibboney for dis trict attorney. They have the backing of the Wanamaker newspaper syndi cate, which has been fighting the Re publican party ever since Wanaiuaker was defeated in his aspirations togo to the Pnited States senate, and they have succeeded in making quite a "racket" at least in these newspapers. But that is as far as they will get. The people are onto their game. The great mass of Republican voters of this city will not. be fooled. They know that Gibboney means Wanamak erism. and they know that the men who want to stoni the water works arc behind Gibboney and are seeking to break up the Republican organiza tion in order that they may put their nefarious schemes through councils. The substantial business interests of the community arc back of the Repub lican ticket, as was shown yesterday at the meeting of the Republican Busi ness Men's association, which met in the Bellevue-Stratford anil indorsed the lull Republican ticket and resolv ed to work to insure its election. Men who have not heretofore taken an interest in practical politics were at that meeting. Presidents of big financial institutions, heads of large industrial establishments and commer cial houses and others identified with important interests were present. Compared with the leaders of this rep resentative gathering, many of the men at the head ot the Gibboney move ment look l'ke pigmies. Over one thousand prominent mem bers of the bar have signed the in-! dorse 111 ent of District Attorney Sam uel P. Rotan for re-election, and they are taking an active part in the can vass in his behalf. Governor Stuart is heart and soul in the campaign, and he will figure ac tively in favor of the whole Republi can ticket. Senator Penrose bas been invited to address a number of meet ings. An indication of the sentiment among the wage earners of this city in the matter will be given on the evening of Oct. 7, when Senator Pen rose will be the guest of the Working men's Protective Taritf Ler.gue of Ken- signton at a great reception and mass j meeting. The men and women of the i mill districts will then turn out by the thousands to express their appreeia- | tion of the senior senator's services in I connection with the framing of the ! tariff bill so as -to protect the interest I of Pennsylvanians against foreign competition. The arrangements for the great din- ' ner which 's to be given to Senator • Penrose by ihe manufacturers of Penn- j sylvania an I elsewhere &t the Belle-1 vue-Stratford on Saturday, Oct. 16, are 1 progressing favorably and it is pre dicted that this will be one of the, most remarkable testimonials ever given to a Unlte H States senator by I his constituents. While naturally a majority of the j participants will be Pennsylvanians, I the dinner is not merely a state furfc- j tion. It had its inception among mem-1 be s of the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufactur ers. but other manufacturing interests ' have insisted upon being represented at the gathering. An Excellent Sermon. President Tuft is showing that lie i is a more versatile man than has j been supposed, lu Salt Lake City j lie revealed himself as a cnpitol preacher. He found his text natural ly and properly in Holy Scripture and delivered a homily or exhor tation on the subject of pleasant speaking. "A soft answer turneth away wrath; but greivous words .stir up i anger" is one of the wise sayings at tributed to king Solomon. It is a statement of universal truth which President Taft wishes to bring home i to the American people, who are as | a general rule with Anglo-Saxons i generally have failed to appreciate. President Taft is himself a splendid , e.vemplier of the policy and practice ! which he enforces in others. It is a j good Sunday lesson for the Ameri-j can people. lie would have us take example i of the Oriental and Latin races and) cultivate gentleness of speech and! courtesy in manners, to abstain from j attributing bad motives to those] who differ with us, to avoid acrimon-1 ious discussion and angry denunci ation ot our fellow-men. He re minds us that a man's life with his family is not made out of grandstand plays, but of little acts and self re-1 straints that goto make up a man's j character. We may well learn, he j tells us, from the men of southern ( clnm-s to "introduce into our lives' more courteous and more politeness, | more real, genuine desire to make; everybody happy by the little things of life, which after all, constitute; nearly all there is in life." These are familiar truths, that are apt to be slighted perhaps be cause they are familiar. They have been preached often, but not in the same way, from such a distinguished preacher, or from such a large stage for the President j addressed practically the people of the entire United States. A soft j answer is the way -to maintain! foreign good-will and domestic peace I and Joy. It is a much neglected vir- \ tue, recognized and respected by! Solomon, and recommended strong- j Ij' to the American people iu the ex eel lent Sunday Sermon of President | Taft. ' A Pleasant Surprise.

Seing By Wire. A frenchman claims to have dis covered *i method by which person may be enabled toseeover, through, or along a telephone wire. The name applied to this apparatus is the "tele radiopticon," which is in itself enough to attract attention, The in ventor of tlw seeing wire is now iti prison, but if his apparatus does what it claims for it he will not re main long behind prison bars. Those who have examined the machine say it is successful consisting of what re sembles opera glasses attached to tin end of the wires through which the person at one other end of a wire may recognize the face of the per son talking Some twenty years ago a citizen of Williainsport claimed to have dis covered a means by which lie could look over wires to any distance. Un fortunately for the fame of William sport and the fortune of the invent or of the alleged seeing machine the citizen was unable to induce capital ists to exploit his invention and he went to some other part of the world and hisdevice was lost to man kind. It was believed at the time that the Williainsport inventor was not mentally sound, which it is hop ed is not the case with the French man who says he has a contrivance .which will permit the users of Telephones t<s see each other's faces.
