ABLE STATESMAN
Pennsylvania Senator A Man
Of I Great Force And
":, ' Marked Ability. '
.Washington, Jn.,-Senator Boies
Penrose had ah extraordinary career,
iiuce nly an extraordinary man
can hare an extraordinary career, it
worth while to take note of aoma ut
the charistics of the recently depart
ed leader of. the Senate.
' In his youth Penrose took the" world
. in general, and his own work in par
ticular, Beriously. As a student in
both elementary and secondary school
he worked hard and stood near the
; head of his class when he was grad
uated at. Harvard. This could not
have been achieved without person
al effort and self denial. "To learn
ing there is no. royal road alike the
peer and peasant must climb to her
bode." . ;
Having completed a course in law,
Penrose chose public life as a carer
.and entered upon that with the same;
concentration he practiced in college, j
Elected , to the Pennsylvania House
of Representatives at the age of 24 he
erred so acceptably that after two
years he waselected to thcState sen
ate where he served ten years.
While still a member of the State.
Senate he was elected t0 to the Uni
ted States Senate, beginning his ser
vice in the latter body in 1897. His
death a few days ago closed a M'e of
87 years in the public service.. ail in
elective offices. During this period
be found time to serve his party as
chairman of the Stta committee
' two yean, as a member of the Nation
al Committee 13 years, and to attend
. and, take an active part in four na
. (anal conventions..Althoubh physi-
JL tally anable U attend the convention
in, 1920, his Interest in that impor.
ant gathering was not lacking. He
was in Constant telegraphic communi
cation with friends at the. conven
tion halL. This indomitable spirit
resulted in hit death, foe in th last
, few months he disregarded the ad
vice of his physician and applied him
self to nutters of national legisla
tion Instead of seeking the rest be
seeded.
Among the peculiarities of his na
ture may be noted his wide reading
of newt papers as a means of ascer
taining public opinion yet his absolute
refusal to reply to any news paper
criticism of misrepresentation. Al
though appreciating the great value
of news papers be never sought news
paper publicity. He engaged in no
outdoor sports, took no physic 11 ex

ing below some facts in regard to it
There are ten factories in the coun

business but several of them did not
operate last year. , The News request'
ed all who did operate to give the pub
lic some . information' abojut'' their
catch 'for the year 1921 but so Ut
only four have responded. T: I "
Last'; Spring the- factories in - thii
county did not start up. i This was cn
account, of the low prices for 'oil and
and because there was i butlittle de
mand for it at any price.1- Then too
in the Spring the fish have little or
no oil in them and are worth but lit
tle to the manufacturers. , Lasi Fall
most of the factories resumed work
and they had a good reason. ' Fish
were plentiful and large and as the
cost of operation had declined Very
considerable the manufacturer patt

losses sustained by them In 1919 and
1920. - v ' :r. 'i:' - r-
