It is the biggest display of the kind ever attempted in Pennsylvania. Physical culture, to the extent of rendering the body fit to support the training of the mind, is a factor of modern education; and nowhere is it in better hands than under Mr. F.

Burton Derby, director of physical education in the Scranton schools. A pageant like tomorrow's emphasizes progress being made in education generally. We congratulate Superintendent Powell, Mr. Derby and the educational forces of Scranton on the program arranged. 1 It is asking the public to see what is going on.

Louis T. McFadden Statesman The distinguished statesman from our neighboring Congress district, the founder of the Federal Reserve system, the main authority on banking in Congress and probably in the country it is almost superfluous td mention that we refer to the 'ionorable Louis T. McFadden recently declared before bankers assembled at Philadelphia that there is ample credit for all industry, all business and all distribution, properly extended and utilized, in this country. This fine condition of super credit has been developed these last seven and a half years. Ample credit, so essential to progress and prosperity, has always existed under Republican methods of rendering government a chief aid of business and industry.

The reverse, credit restricted or destroyed, has been the unfortunate condition under the infrequent Democratic administrations. Curtailed credit would be the gloomy prospect were there any chance at all of a Democratic victory in November. With no chance of Mr. Smith's election, credit goes on untrammeled, despite the antiquated custom of holding off in a Presidential year. Mr.

McFadden was delivering an address to bankers and in no sense making a political speech. It is highly gratifying to us his neighbors, to all Pennsylvania, to the nation at large, that this eminent statesman and high authority is to be returned again to Congress at the coming election, his services enlisted and demanded. His constituents may well be proud of this successor of David Wilmot and Galusha A.

During the course of the' years he served with distinction on a number of governmental commissions, being an expert counselor. One of Mr. Barron's live interests was the inv provement of the milk supply; and he was one of the prime movers and organizers of the institution of "certified" milk. He was also one of the largest importers of Guernsey cattle, while his own herds were a pride to It is remarkable, and characteristic of American energy, that one man could crowd into his life so many interests and responsibilities, and that so many achievements could be claimed for him by an affectionate public. Journalism, looking to him as an economic expert, will miss Clarence W.

Barron. Mr. Hoover's Fine Record This is what the Philadelphia Record, the Demo cratic organ in Pennsylvania, says of. Herbert Hoover: "A Record reader asks the following questions: How many years has Mr. Hoover been continuously residing in the United States since he returned from England? "'(2) How many times has Mr.

Hoover been away from our country since graduating as an "The intent of these queries, as the context of our correspondent's communication indicates, is to demonstrate that the Republican candidate is ineligible to the Presidency because he has not continuously resided in the United States for 14 years. "The facts are that Mr, Hoover resided here from the time of his birth, in 1874, to 1895; that from 1895 to' 1913 he spent most of his time abroad in the practice of his profession; that from the outbreak of the war until 1917, he was engaged in patriotic services in Europe; that he was at home as Food Administrator until July, 1919, when humanitarian calls again took him to Europe, and that he had been serving in the cabinet from 1921 up to the time of his recent resignation. "The Record's opinion of Mr. Hoover's foreign activities has been stated before. Briefly, we believe that they are highly creditable to him; that a knowledge of foreign countries is "an asset rather Unusual Price To Induce You To Try Waterless Cooking In Wagner Cast Aluminum Solid shining Cast Aluminum.

Detroit has passed the six figure mark with an estimated population of 1,378,000, and so has Cleveland with an estimated population of 1,010,300. Pittsburgh is now the ninth city in rank with an estimated population of 673,800, St. Louis, Baltimore and Boston taking precedence. Wilkes Barre has, partly because of annexations, taken a big step forward, having a population of 91,900.

Reading has 115,000, Harrisburg 86,900 and Hazleton 38,300. Easton's population is given as 38,400. Republican Sentiment Growing When this Presidential campaign began, every chance was in favor of a substantial Republican victory, the party's platform and record being sound, its candidates excellent. Democracy could make no constructive promises, and it must rely alone on the personality of its candidate for With a strong and totally different personality on the other and winning side, Governor Smith's personality was not a sufficient foundation for valid claims 'of victory. We, leaning toward conservatism, predicted 321 electoral votes for Hoover, 102 for Smith, and 108 doubtful, with about.

7,000,000 as the Republican popular majority. At present, the campaign warmed up, it turns out that every opinion, prediction and forecast was an under exaggeration. Mr. Hoover, a retiring man, appears of far huger dimensions, now that the public has made a study of his enormous contributions to humanity. His qualities and attainments and character are of interest to and inspire the admiration of people in every corner of the country.

No candidate for President was ever more completely a national figure, a personage whose services in its highest office the nation is delighted io grasp. As a campaigner, too, he is a surprise. His public addresses are masterly thoughtful, well prepared, well delivered, meticulously honest, sane, free from attack on his opponent, and confined to the limits of what he thinks he can accomplish. He has not uttered "a word of buncombe. Moreover, he does all his campaigning from the public platform.

Mr. Smith, on the other hand, is merely a local candidate. Outside of New York, the waters are too deep for him. Proof of this is the frank admission by Democratic newspapers that his Western speeches have lost him votes and support. As Mr.

Hoover's strength was somewhat under estimated, so Governor Smith's turns out to have been egregiously over estimated. lhe Democratic methods of campaigning, too, demonstrate their lack of constructive policy. Nag ging, abuse, digging up petty details without regard to truth or reason, only weaken a weak case. Despite our forecast, it begins to be doubtful if Democracy will elect 100 electors out of the 531. Vote for Clean Elections Vote for Amendment Number Thirteen, and its auxiliary, Amendment Number Six.

Register that you may vote for these, vital amendments to clean elections of fraud by preventing fraud. Every respectable citizen has time and again held up his or herhands in holy horror that elections have been and could be corrupt. Remove the corruption by voting for the Voting Machine. The other day we repeated a part of the report of the committee of the Scranton Chamber of Commerce on this question; a report prepared after months of study of the proposition, after years of experience with the scandal attending almost every election. Here is more of that report: "While it is possible for an election board which is wholly corrupt to make a fraudulent return as to the votes cast in an election precinct even, where such Voting Machines are in use, yet it has been established to the satisfaction of the committee that such fraud cannot be successfully committed except each and every member' of the particular election board is a party to the fraudulent conspiracy, and then only if the overseers and watchers are either negligent or also corrupt.

"Viewed from this aspect, it is the unanimous opinion of your committee that the immediate tabulation of the vote in any election precinct and the practically immediate public knowledge as to the result of such computation will do away with the greatest menace and danger of fraud in connection with said election returns. "It is our conviction that the use of Voting Machines will wholly prevent the withholding of election returns, in some instances for several days after the closing of the polls, by corrupt and venial boards." The committee included in its report an estimate that the use of Voting Machines throughout the county of Lackawanna would result in a saving in election costs of $30,000 a year, or. sufficient to pay for the complete equipment of machines in approximately seven years. At the conclusion of the period of payment for the machines the $30,000 saved annually by their use would be net gain to the county. You want clean elections.

You have often said so. Vote for clean elections. Register Saturday so that you may vote for clean elections. The Part of the Silent Vote What's the silent vote going to do? Political leaders of both parties would be spared a lot of anxiety if they knew. In the absence of advance information, the surprising increases in Republican registration in states all the way from Massachusetts to Arizona stand out significantly.

In half a dozen strongly Republican districts of Boston, the recent registrations showed an increase of more than 9,000, while in six equally strong Democratic districts the increase was approximately 3,300. In Louisville, some 20,000 more voters have registered as Republicans than ever before Arizona has registered 5,000 more Republicans than in any previous year. So go the reports from almost every state in which registration has taken place. They are regarded as the best political straws in sight to indicate which way the 'election breezes are blowing. Clarence Walker Barron The death of Clarence W.

Morgan Sixth District Memolo Swell the Lackawanna County Vote Saturday should call out just about as many Scranton and Carbondale voters as have the two previous registration days combined. Never before have the many issues involved in an election sounded a call so loud, insistent, so inspirational. Besides Republican candidates for President, Vice President, United States Senator, Congressman, state officials and members of the State Legislature whose records and very names are an urge to vote, we have before us the opportunity to reform elections through the Voting Machine and an opportunity not to be missed to vote money for antiquated institutions, for education, for armories, for highways, and for forestation.

"ft It was noticed in yesterday's Republican that outside of Scranton and Carbondale the enrolled voters of the county numbered 47,757 Republicans and 18,344 Democrats a total of 66,101. Scranton and Carbondale combined have a number almost if not quite equal to: this; if they arise to 'the big occasion and register. Every thoughtful American likes to see a big vote polled, apart from the result of that vote. Just as knowledge that there are such a surprising num urge urban voters to register and vote, so an enormous registration in the two cities will bring to the polls on election day a magnificent proportion of these 66,101. It will be a matter of local pride to be able to boast on November 7th that Lackawanna County polled the heaviest vote in its history.

Let every individual join in the movement to make the total more than 100,000. It can be done, if every voter registers on Saturday. The Y. M. C.

A. Triumph The annual drive of the Young Men's Christian Association was of course a resounding success, and the final meeting of those who had gone forth and brought new members into the fold, for the lasting benefit of these new members, was a triumph. The triumph was for the Cause. A mark of 1,000 members set, the result was 1,270. That is the way Scranton performs.

Hardly necessary to expound on the magnificence of the Y. M. C. A. this institution old in service.

Fire Prevention Week The importance of a universal observance of Fire Prevention Week has been emphasized so often that seems unnecessary to do more than mention it at this time. It is not to be wondered that the alert and always far seeing Scranton Chamber of Commerce sees the need of stirring the greatest interest in Fire Prevention Week and is doing its utmost to promote it. This year Fire Prevention Week will be observed during the week of October 7 13.

Various agencies are now moving to see that citizens inspect their homes from cellar to attic, and also clear the rubbish from their yards and gardens. Each year the fire losses were mounting higher, totaling a staggering sum, until they were halted by the promotion of Fire Prevention Week. There is no question that in seeking to minimize fire losses 'constructive work is promoted which greatly benefits all. i America's Big Cities Population figures of United States cities, based ipua'ely on estimates, have just been given out at (Washington. They disclose an estimated population for Scranton of 144,700.

This is based upon the proportion of increase between 1910 and 1920. We are convinced that this is unfair to Scranton. Between 1910 and 1920 was the war period when the increase in Scranton's population slowed down. The natural rate of increase has been apparent since the end of the Great War, City directories, telephone books and the like, bear testimony to the fact that Scranton at the present time has a population in excess of 150,000. the population figures just given out at Washington are very interesting.

They disclose a population of 6,107,000 for Greater New York; of 4,808,500 for Brooklyn, and only 1,752,000 for Man Rattan.

Advantage always attends the presence of our local men at this state annual gathering.

New Ideas with regard to fire fighting and equipment are always arising. Then there Is the social side in which Scranton men are always prominent. It Is only natural that the annual convention of the State Firemen's association attracts wide attention throughout Pennsylvania. a a Four newly paved streets in the borough of Dunmore have, been thrown open to public travel. They will be of greater convenience to people on those streets than general travel.

These thoroughfares are Sand and Gravity streets In the Bunker Hill section, and Rigg and Roosevelt streets. The asphalt on them has thoroughly hardened. The completion of the paves on Sand and Gravity streets provides a new direct route to Scranton by way of Mill street to Gravity street to Sand street to Bunker Hill street and Ash street which will come into more general use when motorists become familiar with It.
