Interesting Carcer of the : ‘v y ra) nr » eT ik Pd x NY A Apa cn Republican Nominee From reports received from every county in the state, Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chairman of the Republi- can state committee, confidently pre- dicts the election of J. Lee Plummer, Republican nominee for state treas- urer, by over 100,000 majority, and he says he would not be surprised to see the figures reach nearer 200,000. Mr. Plummer has made a splendid candidate, and it is predicted by many that he will lead his ticket when the returns shall be finally computed. Plummer’'s Interesting Career. Mr. Plummer was born at Upper Tyrone Forge, Snyder township, Blair county, Pennsylvania, September 20, 1659. His grandfather and father were © forgemen and worked in the forge at that place. His father, James S. Plummer, was a member of the Tyrone. Artillery Company of the state militia, and at the fall encampment, held at Hollidaysburg, in September, 1858, had the major portion of both hands blown off by the premature dis- ckarge of his cannon. A few years later he was appointed postmaster of Tyrone, and moved there with his family. Lee attended the public school and assisted in the sup- port of the family by selling news- papers morning and evening, and there are some men and women liv- ing in Tyrone—not so ‘old, either—- who remember: very distinctly a bright-eved urchin whom they were n the habit of addressing as “Lee,” and who often persuaded them to buy a morning newspaper in spite of them- selves. That was the modest begin- ning of his efforts after independence. His former patrons have always re- mained his friends. Graduating frem the Tyrone public schools at the age of 17, in the Centennial year, young Plummer secured a clerkship at the Tyrone scales of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, and later was transferred to the transportation de- partment and made passenger brake- man on the Tyrone division. In 1881 he removed with his parents to Hollidaysburg, the county seat of Blair county, and of that town he has ever since been a resident. Young Plummer began to take an active interest in politics while yet a mere boy. He is a Republican, both by inheritance and conviction, and his intense interest attracted the atten- tion of the party workers, with whom he was glad to assocgte from early youth, and he was actually elected to membership on the county committees before he attained his majority. Work As a County Chalrman. He was secretary and chairman L number of times. He was county chair- man in 1887, when an onslaught was | made on Captain William B. Hart, Re- publican candidate for state treasurer. At that time the Republican majority in Blair county was not large, the eounty as often being carried by the Democrats as by the Republicans, end many persons feared the eouaty would | cast a majority against Captain Hart 4s a matter of feet, he had a majority | HON. J. LEE PLUMMER A POPULAR CANDIDATE Republican Nominee For State Treasurer, Who Will Be Elected By An Overwhelming Majority. J. LEE PLUMMER, for State Treasures. made Mr. Plummer county chairman in 1888, and that year the county gave Benjamin Harrison, for president, a majority of over 2300, the largest ever given any candidate up to that time. In 1889 the Republicans of Blair county were looking for a good man to fill the office of register and re corder. They nominat:d Mr. Plummer, and the people endorsed the nomina- tion by electing him and re-electing him three years later. He instituted many radical reforms in the office, per- forming its duties in the same ener getic and original fashion that had marked his previous life. While serv- ing the people as register and recorder he utilized his spare time in the study of the law, so that a few months after his retirement from office he was ad- mitted to the bar, of which he is now an honored and useful member. Clear-Headed Legislator. In 1902 Mr. Plummer was chosen as one of the representatives from Blair county in the legislature, being re- elected in 1904. At the opening of the session of 1903 he was appointed chairman of the elections committee of the house, and was a member of several other {important committees. He displayed qualities which com- mended him to the attention of the leaders of the party and naturally marked him for higher honors. He was prompt in his discharge of all his leg- islative duties. He was a total ab- stainer from intoxicants and always had a clear head. it was not surprising, therefore, to his friends to learn that he had been appointed chairman of the committee on appropriations for the session of 1905. The work of the committee, un- der his direction from start to finfish, is the best possible testimony to his sincere purpose to serve the people of the state and bring about the best possible results for suffering human- ity, as well as the public at large. More than 500 bills were passed upon by the appropriations committee of the house, upon a large majority of which hearings were granted by the commit- tee, at all of which the chairman pre- sided. These hearings were free to the public, and all applicants were given courteous treatment. The appropriations were made after- wards upon merit. For one thing, the chairman insisted that each institu- tion asking for state aid should submit a certified statement of the number of free patients provided for and treated during the preceding three years, it being his belief that the money so ap- propriated should be used for the re- lief of the sufferings of the state's poor. This was#sso obviously fair and equitable that the auditor general has adopted it for the future guidance of his department. Backed Even By Democrats. One of the most important duties devolving upon the chairman of the house appropriations committee is the preparation of the general appropria- tion bill, which is the “budget” for running the state government for the | ensuing two years. When the bill left Chairman Plummer’s hands it carried appropriations amounting to $16,500, 000. It passed the house by a unani- mous vote, not only all of the Republi- ean members voting for it but Mr. Oreasy, the Democratic leader, and all of his party associates giving it the compliment of their support. The bill was transmitted to the sen- ate, and was amended there, and upon | of over 1800. This brilliant campaign its return to the house for concurrencs | t was pasged finally without a eonfer- ence: In this connection Speaker Walton declared it ‘was the first time ‘within his knowledge—certainly the first time for many years—that such a splendid compliment had been paid by the house to the ability and impartiality of the chairman of the appropriations eommittee. Free Liquor Barred. Ia nothing was the courage and eommon sense of Chairman Plummer more conspicuously illustrated than ia Ris fearless action ia barring all liquors from the committee rooms and from the cars on which the committee made ‘its’ trips to varidité institutions eoming under {ts supervision, and seeking the financial assistance of the state. With the private rights or habits of the committeemen there was no thought of interference, but the state purchased no liquor for the appropria- tions committee last session. Something tangible was done for the insane. In connection with Speaker Walton, Mr. Plummer conceived the idea of making appropriations for certain in- sane hospitals for the purpose of re- lleving the overcrowded condition of the patients confined therein. Every one of the state institutions of this character was visited, the situation taken In and special appropriations made for Harrisburg, ‘Danville, and Norristown. Harrisburg was given $35,000 for the temporary ward bufld- ings; Danville ,$85,000 for five tempo- rary ward buildings, and Norristown, $70,000 for four temporary ward bufld- ings. These temporary buildings are to be of the most comfortable condi- tion that it is possible to make them. They will be one story in height, wide and roomy, with a window at every cot, with amusement room connected, and with the latest modern sanitary arrangements. Cared For Insane Poor. likewise The appropriations for temporary buildings are in addition to the appro- priations made to the insane hospitals for permanent improvements looking to the more comfortable treatment of the inmates. For instance, the com- mittee discovered that at Danville In- sane Hospital the patients were sleep- ing on old wooden beds that had been in use for years. This hospital was given $10,000 for the purpose of re- placing these old wooden beds with new iron beds, with springs and mat- tresses. The insane hospital at Warren was given the sum of $6000 for the same purpose. All the other insane hospi- tals are furnished with the iron beds, ete. In addition to the foregoing appro- priations to the existing insane hospi- tals there was an appropriation of $150,000 for a new hospital for the criminal insane; $800,000 for the in- stitution for epileptics located at Spring City, and $900,000 for the new insane hospital at Allentown. In all this new benevolent work the chairman of the committee was the central figure. He believed and de- clared that the helpless wards of the state are entitled to proper care and humane treatment, and he supported his belief by vigorous action. Looked After Consumptives. During the last session of the legis- lature Mr. Plummer prepared and in- troduced two bills appropriating $400,- 000 for the establishment of two state camps for the benefit of consumptives. He had studied the problem of the great white plague for years, and was convinced that the out-door life would save the lives of hundreds of the citi- zens of the commonwealth if suitable camps were provided for their treat- ment. The rich may provide the comforts and environment needed to check the disease in its incipiency, but those in moderate circumstances, and the poor, are at its mercy unless the state comes to their rescue. The bills were passed by the legislature, but were vetoed by the governor for reasons which com- mended themselves to his judgment, and the consumptive who is without personal means must wait awhile. But Mr. Plummer is not discouraged. He is persuaded that the fight against consumption should be taken up by the state as a state institution, and that the proposed camps are needed, not only for the rescue of many already within the clutches of the dread dis- ease, but also for the protection of the general public. And he means to push the fight and enlist the sympathy and support of others until the battle has been won. An Exemplary Citizen. In his private life Mr. Plummer is an exemplary citizen; gentle and kindly fn manner, and modest in his deport- ment. In his young manhood he be- came an active member of the Meth- odist Episcopal church. He is at pres- ent secretary and treasurer of the board of trustees of the Hollidaysburg church of that denomination, and has been for the last 10 years. On April 18, 1882, Mr. Plummer mar- ried Mary A. Silknitter, daughter of Wesley Silknitter, a farmer, of Hunt- ingdon county. Their home life is ideal. They have been blessed with two children, a son and a daughter. The latter has just graduated from the Hollidaysburg high school, and the former a bright, active boy, is in his junior year in the same school. Resolute in character, fixed in prin- ciple, a Republican from conviction, a citizen without guile and without re- proach, the Republican nominee for state treasurer is one of the state's most useful sons. He well deserves the honor conferred upon him by the Republican state convention, and will meke a careful and vigilant guardian of the state's funds. THE TWO GLASSES. BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. There sat two glasses filled to the brim, On a rich man’s table, rim to rim, One was ruddy and red as blood, And one as clear as the erystal flood. Said the glass of wine to the paler brother: “Let us tell the tales of the past to each other; I ean tell of banquet and revel and mirth, And the proudest and grandest souls on earth Fell under my touch as though struck by blight, Where I was king, for I ruled in might; From the heads of kings I have torn the crown, From the heights of fame I have hurled men down; I have blasted many an honored name; I have taken virtue and given shame; 1 have tempted the youth witha sip, a taste That has made his future a barren waste. “Greater, far greater than king am I, Or any army beneath the sky. I have made the arm of the driver fail, And sent the train from the iron rail; I have made good ships go down at sea, And the shrieks of the lost were sweet to me, For they said, ‘Behold how great you be! Fame, strength, wealth, genius before you © fall, For your might and power are over all. “Ho! Ho! pale brother,” laughed the wine, “Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?” Said the water glass: “I cannot boast Of a king dethroned or a murdered host: But I can tell of a heart once sad, By my erystal drops made light and glad; Of thirsts I’ve quenched, of brows I’ve laved, Of hands I have cooled, and souls I have saved; I have leaped through the valley, dashed down the mountain, Flowed in the river and played in the foun- tain, Slept in the sunshine and dropped from the sky, And everywhere gladdened the landscape and eye. I Lave eased the hot forehead of fever and pain; I have made the parched meadows grow fertile with grain; I can tell of the powerful wheel of the mill, That ground out the flour and turned at my will. I can tell of manhood debased by you, That I have lifted and crowned anew. I ¢héer, I help, I strengthen and aid; I gladden the heart of man and maid; I set the chained wine-captive free; And all are better for knowing me.” These are the tales they told each other, The glass of wine and the paler brother, Ag they sat together filled to the brim, On the rich man’s table, rim, to rim. FULL OF TRAGIC MEANING are these lines frem J. H. Simmons, of Carey, In. Think what might have re- sulted from the terrible cough if he had not taken the medicine about which he writes: “I had a fearful cough, that disturbed my nights’ rest. I tried everything, but nothing would relieve it, until I took Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which completely cured me.” Instantly relieves and permanently cures all throat and lung diseases ; pre- vents grip and pneumonia.

Friday, October 20,is named as this fall’s Arbor Day in an official message issued under recent date from the de- partment of Public Instruction. Dr. Schaeffer heads his proclamation by quoting Henry Abbey’s poem, “Autumn Arbor Day.” The proclamation pro- ceeds: Since the establishment of Arbor Day, more than thirty years ago, mil- lions of trees have been planted within the borders of our lund, and thousands of ncres have been set apart for the purpose of forestry. The observance of Arbor day has extended not merely, to every state in the Union, but to France, Japan and other countries be- yond the sea.” ’ “Since many schools are not in ses- sion during the April Arbor days, and since trees can be planted in the fall as well as in the spring of the year, it has become customary in Pennsylvania for the schools to observe an autumn Arbor Day. For this purpose Friday, Oct. 20, 1905, is named as a suitable day for the current year, and the schools are urged to observe the day by the planting of trees and by other exercises designed to stimulate an interest in the science and art of forestry.” A SPLENDID IDEA. A new idea in a Cough Syrup is ad- vanced in Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tar. Besides containing Pine Tar, Honey and other valuable remedies. it is rendered Laxative. so that its use insures a prompt and efficient evacua- tion of the bowels. It relaxesthe nerv- ous system, and cures all coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, etc. A red clover blossom and the honey bee is on every bottle of the Original Laxa- tive Cough Syrup—Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tar. An ideal remedy for children. Mothers praise it. It is best for all. Sold by E. H.

I myself am doing it, and I cordially recommend it to you as a safe thing to keep in mind.” “Thank you, father,” the yourig man replied, “but I—to tell the truth—what is the golden rule, anyway? I've for- gotten it.’ “You don’t know the golden rule? Thomas, I’m surprised at you—sur- prised and pained.
