Mr. Bond la a vary attractive and interesting
speaker and whenever the

Governor saying a word against
them? Congressman Small "Voted
Just aa 81mmoma did, on the lumber
question. Ask, hia* la Small a trait
or? JLlsten w^en. he
Craig, Doug))ten, Godwin and
Small are bow all nice men In the
opinion of the Governor. Four yeara
ago Craig qras, i? bis way. Every
man who liked Craig will recall the
way In which the Governor spoke of
ihlm then. WJiy the change? Was
he dreaming tl)en or dreaming now?
Like the echoql teacher In an adjoining
county does he teach, that the
world ie either flat or round to aatia 1
fy the parents who were disputing
about it?
It la because Simmons alone stands
now in his way. Is that why Simj
rnons la left to exclaim when all
others go without censure; in the
ffc " lamentation of t\ie prophet of old:
| "And I, even I, only am left and he
oeeketh my (official) life to take It
f. away.'*
Now then all of you heard the
\ Governor's speeches, tell me what
ingle act has he done that any man
f i of fair capacity would not have done
aa Governor? Let echo answer?
What! -'
Having shown yon what Simmons
has helped tq do it la fair to aak,
What has the'Governor done? 1 do
not large that he has been guilty of
any wrongful act in office. He has
been In Oofcgraso. I think, about ten
years. I presume he drew hie salary.
He tbeh pushed away the hand of
\ Locke Craig from tke nomination aa
Governor, and Craig went 6hck to the
arena of Mi edQIena fights for Democracy,
and daw the coveted prise roll
frdm him. I must admit Gut I do
not anient to the censure whWW hap
b#ep put On the Governdr for his use
Of the bardontfe power. He had the
fact. 'ease I Oreekmo he

John Fritz Today Putlog
His Nintleth Birthday.
BETHLEHEM. Pa.. Aug. SI.?
I John Fritz, known far and wide an
'the father ot tne steel industry in
the United States, attained his ninetieth
birthday anniversary today. The
dinner given at the Waldorf-Astoria
in New York ten years ago in colebratiou
of the eightieth birthday of
Mr. Fritz is still remembered as one
of the nfost remarkable gatherings
ever assembled in this country of
captains of invention and inductry
and the centra] figures of finance allied
with the iron trade.
It was hoped that some similar affair
might be held to commemorate
Mr. Fritz's ninetieth year, but the
precarious condition of his health
caused the idea to be abandoned. For ~
tbe past six months the veteran ironmaster
has been in very poor health
and during much of the time has been
bedfast. During this time messages
of Inquiry and cheer have been received
at hfs home almost daily from
leading men in the iron and steel
world, from Andrew Carnegie down
to .the active present dav nlant m*n
agcrfl, many of whom In years past
were numbered among Mr. Friiz'8
"boys."
John Fritz long ago earned his
title of father of the steel industry
not by any single invention or discovery,
but by a contribution of new
ievices, new methods and practical
vork in building up the Industry In
;he United States. With only a district
school education, gained near
bis birthplace in the middle pert of
PuuwrHul*. h? ciiMd la
the steel Industry that has
At the age of 1< Mr. Frits left hie
lather's farm to work In a country
machine shop, with a view of -learning
the trade of a machinist. After
various experiments in steel making
at Norriatown and Safe Harbor, he
modeled an old mill and built whet
is known as the Cambria Iron Works.
It was at this period that, in connection
with his brother George, he designed-and
erected the well know a
"three high bloomers," with their
automatic tables and the "three high
mill.'* These Inventions started an
economical revolution in steel manufacture.
When the United States government,
some twenty-flve years ago. decided
to build a modern navy of
armor-plated vessels, equipped with
guns of great calibre, there was no
plant in the country where the plates,
guns and forgings for such ships
could be made. Bethlehem waffbelected
as the site for the projected
plant and Mr Fritz was chosen as the
man to build it. He went to Europe
and spent some months in studying
the plate and gun making plants
there, and when he returned he built
a plant that surpassed its European
models. Among other features it contained
a greater hammer and the
most powerful press In the world.
When Mr. Fritz built this, the flrei
armor plant in America, such men as
Schwab, Corey and others who subsequently
became famous in the steel
industry, were still boys.
Mr. Fritz is the only man now living
of the small group that introduced
into the United States the Pes-' *
semer steel process. A great economical
revolution was thus effected,
from which has flowed the remand- "v
ous development seen today in steel '
manufacture in the United States. In
1893 the British Iron and Steel Institute
gave Mr. Fritz the Bessemer
gold medal, which is the highest distinction
a steelmaker can receive.
