William H. Capwell, editor and
publisher of the DALLAS POST
over the turn of the century was
an active member of Dallas Meth-
odist Church. He served as steward
and as trustee and his daughter,
Gertrude, was a worker in the Sun-
day School. He reported, in some
detail, church activities and pub-
licized coming events, even com-
menting on the minister's sermons
from time to time. This may not
have been due entirely to personal
religious interest. Excepting the
flourishing fraternal orders, the
Church was the only organization
in town in which large numbers of
people were ‘interested, and Church
affairs were therefore news.
We do not have at hand any edi-
torials on” church matters, there
may have been none. We do have
a few of the items he wag in the
habit of inserting in his general
columns which are quoted below.
“Two young men, one of whom
was so drunk that he lay down in
the street after his companion had
succeeded in getting him off a
Wilkes-Barre car, was one of the
shameful sights seen in the centre
of Luzerne Borough Sunday after-
noon. ‘And the liquor was sold
according to law’.
“Our ‘motto is: ‘Lie, steal, drink
and swear’. When you lie, let it
be down to pleasant dreams; when
you steal, let it be away from im-
moral companions; when you drink,
let it be pure cold water; when you
swear, swear that you will patronize
your home paper, pay your sub-
scription, and not send your job
work away from home.”
At another time he gave a couple
of inches space discussing the an-
noyance of boys swearing, mention-
ing no names. He carried at his
masthead; “There is nothing too
good for Dallas.”
Mr. Capwell could write well on
almost anything, but did not do
too much of it. This may have
been due to lack of space or of
time, either to write it personally,
or for the typesetters to set it by
hand. An exception was obituaries.
These were long and flowery. The
death of a prominent citizen, Ira
D. Shaver, for example, would be
given a whole column. A trip out
of town would usually be men-
tioned, sometimes at some length.
He made a trip to Washington, D.C.
and his description of the place ran
for several weeks. He attended a
convention of editors and publishers
at Atlantic City and reported it.
A summer employe of the POST
was a student at Pennsylvania State
College. He went out by railroad
to visit the student and see the
area, just at the time when election
of trustees was taking place. He
met a number of them, some of
whom he had known for years. The
number of students was then 350.
In 1899, he attended the services
at Wyoming Monument, commem-
orating = the Wyoming Massacre.
Some grandsons of the victims were
in attendance, and one of them,
Calvin Parsons, presided. After the
meeting he had dinner with Mr.
and Mrs. Charles D. Linskill, well
known locally, at Wyoming. Also
present were Rev. and Mrs, Wilson
Trieble and their little daughter.
some fifteen years later Rev. Trieble
was pastor at Dallag and the little
daughter, Helen was a music teacher
in Dallas,
He frequently wrote news items
in a facetious manner. John TI
Philips visited here, from Kentucky,
reporting that Low Yaple had a
new son, who would soon be cut-
ting firewood. When Bertha Ran-
dall drove to the parsonage, he
reported that a BAER, weighing
about 150 lbs. entered the carriage
with her and she did mot scream.
He headed the item, “Captured by
a Baer.” In another place in a
routine manner he reported the
marriage of Miss Bertha Randall
and Edward Baer.
Sometimes it would be difficult
to distinguish “a true story from
a plain joke as: “A certain gentle-
man living not more than two hun-
dred miles from Dallas, has a son
who is very hard to get out of bed
mornings. When called the boy
had a habit of answering, ‘Yes Sir’,
and going to sleep again. A few.
mornings ago, after the usual an-
swer, he crept upstairs in the dark,
turned down the covers and gave
him a lively spanking. It happen-
ed the night before the hired girl
had been given the boys room.
When the tumult was over the
farmer went out behind the barn
and drafted an apology to the hired
girl.”
A few are still living here who .
attended a party given by Nora
Thomas in 1899 at which the follow- |
ing were present: Mabel Mott, Rita
Hileman, Helen Coyle, Ruth and
Florence Gordon, Inez Welch, Mabel
Edgar, Ruth and Natalie Hallock,
Lila Shaver, Edith Lauderbach,
Laura Gregory, Bessie Horning,
Mamie Hefft, Edna Isaacs, Anna
Franklin, and Ruth Strickland.
