TKXKIt IS COMIXG SATURDAY.
It is desirable that every good Re
publican In llonesdale, and as many
good Republicans from Wayne coun
ty as can arrange to be with the
Honesdale Republicans that day, plan
to be on hand Saturday, when the
party's candidate for that guberna
torial seat at Harrlsburg, the Hon.
JOHN KINLEY TENER, comes
around to look us over.
Mr. TENER, from the present
plans of tho candidate, has only a
few hours to shake the hands of his
Honesdale and Wayne county sup
porters; but in that short space of
time he will, beyond all question,
discover that old Wayne county, the
beauty spot of the northeastern Penn
sylvania hills and the homo of some
of the staunchest party men that
ever voted a ticket, Is still safe and
sane on the absorbing question of
Pennsylvania politics and proposes
to contribute its mite to the very
comfortable majority of 100,000 or
more that Mr. TENER is absolute
ly certain to receive In November.
There is something wonderfully
attractive, something lrreslstably
compelling, in tho personality and
career of this man TENER. Ho
started poor. He commenced life
with health and brains and ambition
and pluck and Industry, but with
mighty little money to boast him to
ward his goal. When he began to
play ball and worked himself up to
a tidy salary as well as to an enviable
reputotlon for diamond efficiency, he
was for the first time in his life
drawing Income enough to live on
Easy street. JOHN TENER, the old
boys that were with him in those
glad days of sticks and strikes and
uniforms will tell you, was a pitcher
who pitched clean ball; in business
life and in political life the morals
of the honest sportsman have stuck
by him, and no carping critic of
TENER in Chaleroi or TENER in
Washington or TENER in Harris
burg can ever have occasion to vora
ciously picture him in any dubious
connection with a dollar.
Tho ball field in time gave way to
business, as the ballfield of every
ambitious player eventually must,
and JOHN K. TENER became a
builder and a banker builder of
the pretty little town of Chaleroi,
where every man, woman and child
will tell you that they count him
their friend; and a banker because he
ran the bank that financed the pro
jects from time to time Introduced
by Mr. TENER and his associates to
develop tho splendid waterpower and
other prime iudustrlal facilities of
that naturally rich Monongaheln
Valley country and incidentally to
give employment to needy thousands
in Washington county. Today
Chaloroi, thanks to the TENER in
fluence and the TENER bank work
ing together for good to all tho peo
ple of that fruitful section, is one
of tho model towns of the East for
homes and roads and schools and a
contented, industrious population.
In Washington, whoro for 10
years Mr. TENER has served his
constituents and his country well In
tho same session a performance to
which not all Congressmen cutj con
scientiously claim credit the man
from Chaleroi has been a worker
and a producer. Ho has givon par
ticularly ofllclont sorvico to the gi
gantic schomo for nn inland wnter
way system that shall Btart at Capo
Cod, tho scamost tip of Massachu
setts, and go clear down tho coast to
tho St. John's river nt Jacksonville
nnd thenoo directly across tho penin
sula of Florida to tho Mississippi be
low Now Orleans a project that
must ultimately multiply Atlantic
coast trado and bring benefit to overy
stato between Portland and Toxns.
Ho has been an energetic supporter
of tho measures advocated by
THEODORE ROOSEVELT for strict
er government supervision 'of rail
roads and other corporations that
operate over a wide territory, and,
though a man with some money to
Invest In legitimate enterprises, Mr. 1
TENER has never been accused of
being a sympathetic corporation tool j
except by tho men In all parties to 1
whom tho $7,500 salary of a Con-,
grcssmnn always spells tho tainted
retainer of Wall street and who for
some Inexplicable season see lit to
deludo their noddles with a no
tion that a man Vnnnot own brick
blocks nnd banks ns tho result of his
own Intellect nnd industry but must
Hlguzzlo them out of the means of
some poor devil that never had a
chance to hobnob with tho boodlo
mongers.
On this tour of the. stato ho Is
mnklng now Mr. TENER Is creating
nn exceedingly fnvornblo Impression
on men from tho city nnd men from
the country. Ilo Is making no ex
travagant promises. -.That is not
the nature or the practice of TENER.
In his pitching days he never agreed
to strike out 27 men in a single
game. Ho has thrown no mud at
his opponents, though the good Lord
knows Mr. GRIM and Mr. BERRY
have thrown enough at him to make
the whole hill at Harrlsburg look
like Main street In Honesdale after
an all night's sprinkle. When he
played ball Mr. TENER never stoop
ed to dispnrage his opponents; when
ho was promoted to play politics ho
pursued tho same llve-and-let-llve
policy that was TENER'S In his
days on the diamond. He has called
attention to some conditions in this
state that need a speedy remedy, .and
he has told his crowds everywhere
that if he is elected ho will not be
found lagging in efforts to apply
that remedy. His talk Is the plain,
matter-of-fact, manly talk of a plain,
matter-of-fact, manly man a man
to whom clean-cut and rational busi
ness principles at all times make
the most forcible appeal and who
knows that honesty is the best mor
als as well as the best policy.
Wayne county, like all the other
counties that have heard him, will
be Impressed by the sincerity and
sense of JOHN K. TENER.
JOHN M. REYNOLDS, who is on
the ticket for lieutenant-governor,
HENRY' HAUCK, renominated for
secretary of Internal affairs, and
CHARLES FRED WRIGHT, the
Susquehanna county ex-congressman
now running for his first full term
as state treasurer, will bo in the
TENER party. Mr. REYNOLDS is
not so well known In this corner of
the state as he is In central and
western Pennsylvania, but his work
for Pennsylvania at Washington is
known without recourse to tho Con
gressional Record. Mr. HAUCK Is
one of the popular men of Lebanon
county, where they long ago learned
to call him "the sunshine of Leban
on Valley." That Is almost as good
an encomium as to be the sunshine
of Paradise alley! And CHARLIE
WRIGHT we all know him! Even
if we did not expect to disappoint the
Hon. BILL DIMMICK and tho Hon.
FRED G. TOLLEY by giving our
majority to Mr. TENER instead of
to Mr. BERRY', we should be
charmed to have Mr. TENER In our
midst that day, or any day, just be
cause he likes our CHARLIE
WRIGHT and CHARLIE WRIGHT
likes him.
Wayne is for TENER anyhow, of i
course; but tho visit of tho guber
natorial candidate and his fellow
ticketmen will boost by quite a lit
tle tho majority tho Republican nom
inees are certain to get in this coun
ty. GINGERSNAPS.

Old Settlers' reunions and other
similar gatherings have the right of
way in tho late summer. Such oc
casions supply a much-needed relax
ation to the farmer and others who
have toiled hard through the sum
mer heat, and they are usually full
of Interest and enjoyment. They
form a connecting link with tho past
nnd the present and there Is some
thing especially delightful in seeing
old relatives, friends and former
neighbors greet one another, after
years of absence. To those who
come from the large cities to attend
such doings It means, If oven but

I was In Carbondale the other day,
ready to board my friend Ward's
train for Honesdale, when one of
my smart friends said to me, "Don't
let's get on here, but walk across
town and take tho train at Lincoln
avenue. I had my doubts about
tho practicability of the perform
anco, but he insisted and he and I
started. The distance is so near a
full mile that there's no fun in call
Ing It anything else, and the last
leg of tho course is all up hill
around corners, up a steep grade
and then more hill to tho track
which seemed to me as though It
must be on top of Pike's peak or
somo other noted mountain by the
tlmo I got there. About three
blocks from our destination I hand
ed my bag to a younger traveler
headed in the same direction, but
my overcoat was still an Impedi
ment. My ambitious friend in

stations and spared no pains to
have It hot enough, woro nn over

by a hair's breadth and now wo laugh
at that chase through tho streets

I wouldn't take that trip again for

Tho proposal to ollmlnato "From
Greenland's ley Mountains" from the
list of hymns to appear in a new
missionary hymnal has aroused both
clergymen and lnymen to whom tho
old hymns ropresent a wealth of
tender sentimont nnd association,
which menus to thorn a great deal
moro than considerations of rhetor
ic, metrlcnl structure or musical
science Tho objection appears to
havo been mado that Bishop Hebor's
famous missionary hymn ( (apostro
phizes mountains nnd winds nnd
rivers" but so doos "America,"
with Its frnnk roferenco to rocks nnd
rills and templod hills. If thoso
who object to tho hymn on tho
ground that It "emphasizes natural
rathor than revealed rollgion" aro
unable to look through naturo up to
nature's God, to bo consistent thoy
Bhould doprecnto tho Inclusion in
their manual of worship of Addi
son's mngnlflcent hymn, "Tho Spaci
ous Firmament on High."
Tho Inspirational valuo of a hymn
is to bo judged In largo measuro by
Its popular reception. Tho good
that it has done to thousands to slug
It is tho true test, nnd not tho aendo-
mlo decision of a committee or a
council of editors. A hymn llko
"Tho Morning Light Is Breaking,"
Is nothing much as literature, it
makes no pretensions to being a
great poem, but it is a great hymn
because it has lent wings to tho
hcnvy-lndcn souls of humankind In
overy land. A hymn llko "Throw
Out tho Llfellno" may provoko tho
polite ridicule of n professor of
belles-lettres, hut roared out lustily
in n sailors' mission or on ship
bonrd It has had Its own unmensured
Influenco for good. Tho Salvation
Army uses many a crude and home
ly bnllcd, but the simple sincerity
of tho pcrformonce by tho street
choir redeems tho bnnal character
of tho song, "Wliero Is My Wander
ing Boy To-night7" It is easy
enough to poke fun at such hatchet
made verses, but they have reclaim
ed more wanderers nnd prodigals
than have been recaptured by high
ly paid warblers and cathedral or
gans. An old hymn is an old, familiar
friend, nnd It recalls the past ns no
powor on earth can do. Tho multi
tude do not much enro what tho
critics think of "Abide With Me,"
or "Sun of My Soul," or "Hark, the
Hernld Angels Sing," or "Lead,
Kindly Light," or "All Hail tho
Power of Jesus' Name." These
hymns may or may not bo weighed
In tho delicate balnnces of purists
and precisians nnd he found want
ing. They have long ago been tak
en to the hearts of the people, and
that Is all that Is necessary. If tho
publishers of hymn books do not
care to print them, that is the pub-
Ushers concern: they will be hand
ed down by oral tradition, as In tho
days when books wero painfully
hand-written nnd too rare and too
dear for the poorer folks to buy.
The mistake of judgment will be
not that of tho people who obstinate
ly continue to love the good old
hymns, but that of the critics who
think that whatsoever things are
newfangled nre the things tho people-
ought to bo trained to like. Edi
