AVERAGES OVBIl 20 MILES A
DAY.
A tall, lathy, pleasant-faced young
fellow with eyeglasses and a cane
walked Into the Wayne hotel at C
o'clock Wednesday night and said
ho was walking from Auburn, N. Y.,
to Philadelphia and guessed Hones
dale would be a good place to stop
over night. Ho said he was C. F.
Taber, employed In tho Quaker City
but living In Bordentown, N. J., a
Burlington county village 25 miles
up the Delaware.
Mr. Taber walked from Auburn
to Chenango Forks, N. Y from
Chenango to Deposit, Deposit to
Scott centre, Scott to Lake Como,
Lake Como to Wlnwood, where the
tired but confident tramper slept
Tuesday night.
"How many miles a day do you
walk on an average?" Mr. Taber was
asked.
"About 22 or 23," he replied, "but
It all depends. Some days I feel
like getting In 30, and I do It.
Other days, passing through a beau
tiful strip of country or meeting
friendly farmers, I stop to look and
talk. There Is no money Induce
ment to get up my speed. I'm out
for fun and health."
"How about the expense of such
a trip?"
"Well, It Is fairly expensive. It
costs me $2 or $3 a day to keep
going, for I stop at good hotels
when I can."
"How are your feet?" butted In
a bystander on the hotel piazza.
Mr. Taber laughed.
"Only one blister," he said, "and
that one's coming nicely. I cut It
open and treated It, and then I put
on cohesive plaster. That's tho best
way."
"What do you think of Pennsyl
vania roads?"
"Some of them are good, but, the
avorage road la Now York goes
ahead of them. They post notices
warning drivers not to keep right
along in the same rut and to use
wide tires. .The good roads senti
ment Is powerful In the lower tier
of York state counties."
Mr. Taber will start today
for Stroudsburg. His baggage
was shipped there from Chenango.
He Is due In Philadelphia Sept. 15.
"But I can't tell you the precise
day when I shall hang up my hat
in the city of Brotherly Love," he
added. "I may find some village
that appeals to me and stop over
there for a day or two."
He thinks Wayne county Is a
beautiful region. Unlike Edward
Payson Weston, Mr. Taber 1b out
solely for the fun of the outing.
Unlike the veteran tramper, too, he
lopes from the hip, does not swing
his arms and shoulders violently,
and does not howl and swear at
everything that gets in the way of
his pedestrinal progress. His walks,
which have taken him through many
states and to hundreds of interest
ing places, are taken goodnaturedly
and Mr. Taber says he has hundreds
of acquaintances in New York and
Ohio and Michigan and California
who want him to call again.

Prohibition Candidate for Governor
Asks City Sprinklers as Adver
tisement. SCRANTON, Sept. 1. Madison F.
Larkln, Prohibition candidate for
governor, wants to uso the city
sprinkling wagons in tho Labor
day parade to advertise his candi
dacy on the cold-water ticket.
Mr. Larkln made his request at
the office of Director of Public Works
C. V. Terwllllger. He said ho un
derstood the city had six water wag
ons and so wanted to uso two of
them.
"I will cover the sides of the wag
on with posters," said Mr. Larkln.
"Wo will bring up the rear of tho
Labor day parade Just after tho in
dustrial division."
Tho request was taken under ad
visement by tho director. Tho fact
that Scranton's first candidate for
governor would take advantage ot
water wagons to urge bis candidacy,
and especially at the tail end of a
Labor day parade, shows that Mr.
Larkln is alive to the power ot ad
vertising. Locul Option and Antl-8uloon Talka.

Sundays to preach and that he had
the consent of the other trustees,
but It was up to Mr. Kline and what
ever he said they would agree to.
Mr. Kline then asked:
"Why does Mr. Berry want to

The man said that would be all
right.
"Well, then," Mr. Kline said,
"wo will wait until after election to

The Berry man said:
"Oh, that will never do! He
wants to come before election."
"Well, then," Mr. Kline said,
"this church is dedicated to re
ligion, not to politics."
Berry will not come.

' PLATFORM OF STATE GRANGE.
The platform for the state grange, to be carried out by
the legislative committee, was adopted by the executive
and legislative committee of the grange just before the ad-
journment of its sessions at the Bolton house, Harrisburg.
The platform, copies of which will be widely distributed
among the Grangers of the state for action by the local
granges, is as follows:
"The Pennsylvania State grange stands squarely for the
following principles, which we want adopted and enforced.
To this end we earnestly recommend that cagh grange set
apart a number of meetings for the discussion of these
questions and report their action to the worthy master of
state grange before the coming annual meeting of the state
grange. The legislative committee was formed to aid in
securing the passage and enforcement of laws of which we
approve and the influence of your committee in securing J
legislation depends primarily upon the fidelity of the mem-
bership in selecting favorable legislation and in urging
them both directly and through your committee to vote
for these principles. A thorough discussion of these ques- t
tions will do much to clarify sentiment and a definite re-
port discloses the unity of the opinion.
i. Equalization of taxation (a) By relieving real estate "i
of taxation by increasing state appropriation for local pur-
poses, viz: schools and roads, (b). A law to pay school
districts the minimum salary of teachers for the minimum
school term, (c) An appropriation from the state to
townships of 100 per cent, of tax raised by townships for
road purposes up to $25 per mile, (d) The enforcement
of the constitutional provision for taxing all classes of sub- !
jects uniformly. 4
"2. The initiative, referendum, recall (a) A3 it applies to
all branches of local government and to all matters which i'
affect the public in the different units of government. "i"
(This means local option on all subjects as well as upon
the traffic in liquor.)
"1. We favor the parcels post. J
"2. We favor the election of United States senators by f
popular vote.
"3. We favor conservation of timber and mineral lands.
"4. We are opposed to ship subsidy.
"5. We are opposed to a centralized bank. 4
"6. We are opposed to American-made goods being sold
cheaper abroad than at home."

ROWLAND IS DEAD
POPULAR LAWYER MOURNED
HY HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS IN
TWO COUNTIES ONE OF THE
MOST GENIAL AND WINNING
OF .MEN, HIS KINDLY PRES
ENCE WILL HE MISSED UNI
VERSALLY. Orville Lafayette Rowland
"Cap" Rowland his hundreds of
friends affectionately called him
died Tuesday afternoon at 4.30 at
his home, 309 Tenth street, of con
gestion of the brain. He had been
ailing several weeks and for four or
five days before the end came his
condition was critical. Hope was
abandoned Tuesday noon, when Dr.
H. B. Ely and Dr. F. W. Powell, the
attending physicians, told Mrs. Row
land and the children that the hus
band and father of their home could
not possibly get through another
night and might breathe his last be
fore sundown. The wife, son and
daughter of Mr. Rowland were at
the bedside when the struggle ended.
Never a man to complain, Mr.
Rowland kept up and dressed as
long as he could and did not go to
bed until Saturday. Up to that time
he had lain down a good deal, but
always went to the table regularly
for his meals. He lost a good deal
of flesh lately. When In his proper
condition he weighed something like
195 pounds, but he lost 10 or 15
pounds during August.
One of Mr. Rowland's closest
friends was Dr. Harry B. Searles. To
him he said on the street one day
last week:
"My head bothers me all the time.
I don't know what's the matter with
me."
Dr. Searles advised him to see his
physician without delay rind Mr.
Rowland did that. He was advised
to rest and take things easy for a
time. Soon after that he went to
bed.
There was no man in Wayne
county who had more warm and
devoted personal friends than Orville
L. Rowland. He was an exceeding
ly genial, frank and companionable
man, and he was free from the
smallest suspicion of professional
crookedness. Many who knew him
well say he was far and away too
tenderhearted to be a lawyer. Ho
hated to see people In trouble. Ho
generally advised people to steer
clear of the law, though he could
have materially augmented his in
come by steering them into it. All
his brother lawyers respected hla
high moral standards and tho
thoroughness of his legal learning.
One of them, who Is not quoted by
name, said today:
"Rowland, like all of us, was
sometimes approached by parties
with a crooked scheme to put
through. They would ask him, say,
how $2,000 could be made by this
trick or that. He invariably gave
them a patient hearing, for Row
laud was always patient, and then
ho'd say:
" 'Yes, that thing can be done,
but don't count on me to help you
do It.' "
Mr. Rowland's mental equipment
Tor the law was very noticeable, even
to laymen. He had a very retentlvo
memory and an excellent command
of clear, Idiomatic English, though
he never tried to be a fancy speaker.
Ho was eminently peaceablo in tem
perament and disliked to engage in
disputes outside tho necessary argu
ments of tho courtroom or to hear
wrangling on the part of others.
It was frequently said of him that
he could calm discordant factions
with fewer words than any other
man In Wayne county.
In outdoor sports Mr. Rowland
was particularly Interested. He lov
ed to shoot and fish, and every fall
he made it a point to drop law busi
ness for a fortnight In order to go
over into tho woods of Pike county
and rough it. Ho was a good shot
and handy with rod and line. Ho
was an Ideal hunting nnd Ashing
companion and men that had been
In the Pike woods once with "Cap"
Rowland wore always eager to go
again.
Mr. Rowland had Just turned his
half century. Ho was born at
Rowlands, tho Plko county vlllago
that long ago was named for tho
family, Nov. 21, 1859. His father
was George H. and his mother
Katherino Rowland. He wont to
school at Rowlands and was a dill
gent studont. At 15 ho entered
Wyoming seminary and at 19 grad
uated. Ho had decided to bo a law
yer and from Wyoming ho went to
Albany, N. Y. Law school and stud
led threo years.
Mr. Rowland's wife was Harriot
Julia Genung, daughter of Ezra and
Nancy Genung ot Honesdale. Tho
wedding took place hero on Sopt 12,
1888, Rev. Georgo C. Hall, at that
time settled over Grace church, ty
ing the knot. Mr, and Mrs. Row
land had two children. Harold
Genung, their son, has lived here all
(Continued on Pago Eight).
