Desc: York State Folks: Directed by Harry Jackson. With James Lackaye, Ray L. Royce, Edith Offutt, Amy Dennis. Simon Peter Martin is the Village President, a man who exacts obedience to all his wishes. The two clash and the fate of a young couple, Simon's son and Myron's niece, is involved. The trouble arises over a vote of the villagers in favor of the railroad entering the town. The old organ builder meddles in politics for the first time and votes for the railroad, and thereby draws upon himself the wrath of the Village President, who is a wagon builder and fears the railroad will ruin his business. He casts his son adrift for daring to fall in love with his opponent's niece, and tries to ruin the old organ builder. But the railroad goes through, the wagon builder relents, and all is well in the end. Simon comes in time to bless the young couple and renew his friendship with Myron. The railroad has purchased his property and made him comfortable for life. Myron sells an organ for a large sum of money, and the life-long friendship of the old men is renewed and all are happy.
