THE HONESDALE CITIZEN ; TffURSD.VY MPRNtffGK AUGUST 18. 1908,
Br EDWARD It ALE BRUSH.
THH now ctmlrmnn of the Iiemiv
crntlc national committee, Nnr
man E. Mack, proprietor of the
Puffulo Tlmea nnd tnetnticr of
the national committee from Now
TorW, ban always clntmod to lw n Dem
ocrat of the old faahtoncd typo. Tarty
loyalty and rrinihirlty have t-ecn hla
wotcbwonls s a newspaper publisher
and political lender, and his nnfnltcr
Inu adherence to his party under all
circumstances and condition have
won him a reputation throuftliout the
country for exceptional devotion to the
-&tSfrmfiih theories of srovcniinont
and their emlwdlment In political or
ganization. Mr. Mack's rlvaJ, Frank II. Hitch
cock, chairman of tlio Republican na
tional committee, called on William J.
Bryan at the Auditorium Annex In Chi
cniro the day nfter the choice of Mr.
Mack a Democratic chairman and In
the cooree of conversation paid a trib
ute to his opiwnent In party manage
ment. "I congratulate you and the
Democratic party," said Mr. Hitch
cock, "on your scli-otlon of n chairman
for the national committee. Nnruiau
E. Mack Is a first class man nnd will
be an Ideal clinlrliniii."
"Thank yon." :ild Mr. I'.rjmi. "1
think you are pietl) nearly tilth! 'I
Is a dilllrult matter In .- mi Idem
chairman became n mini who It an
Ideal chairman Is presidential titular,
. and me cun't generally get men who
are (xissllile presidents to run cam
paigns." Hut, though Mr. Mack hns never lieen
talked of for president, he did hnvo a
lco iresldentlal lioom at Denver,
although he did not foster It himself,
and he has been mentioned moru than
once In connection with the Demo
cratic nomination for governor of New
Tork. There would be one good rea
on why he could not run for the presi
dency, anyway. That Is the fact that
he was bom In Canada. He celebrated
bis fiftieth birthday the SJJIi of July,
Just the day before bla elevation to his
recent honors. In his school days In
Indon, Ontario province, be bad for
a chum John MacDonald, now well
known as tlie editor of the Toronto
Olotie. Editor MiieUonalil and Editor
Mack have kept up their friendship of
boyhood days. Mr. MacDonald Is a
warm friend of Mr. Bryan and enter
tained the Nebraska n at bla homo
when ho mado a tour of Canada not
long ago. When Mr. Mack's nrine
camo up nt Chicago In connection with
the party chairmanship Editor Mac
Donald put In a good word with the
Democratic presidential nominee In
behalf of his old schoolmate, and It
had weight with Mr. Bryan, even
though It came from a man who will
not have any part as r. voter In the
contest.
Carved Out His Own Career.
As a youth Sir. Mart; decided that
be could carve out a career for himself
better In the United Sullen than In
Canada, and he went to Bradford,
!Pa. This was during the early oil ex
citement In Hint country. On Ids re
moval to Buffalo ho started the Times,
at first only as a Sunduy paiicr. Thlt
(was In 1870. The patwr hSd an uphill
Struggle nt first. The Times called a
lapndo n spade, nnd the days of new
Journalism had not then arrived. In
those days of hard sledding the pro
prietor often lost sleep of nights won
dering where be was going to get tba
money for bis payroll. But he hung
on, and iierslstenee won. Four ysan
after the establishment of tbo Sunday
Tlmes-that Is, In WS3-the dally Tlmea
was started. It, too, hud n rough road
to travel at first, but now enjoys a
largo circulation and has attained a
national reputation In the field of Jour
nalism. Mr. Mack Nvniue n iiolltlclan at
'about the same time he liecaine. a
newspaK'r man. But ho has never
been an olllce seeker that Is, a seeker
of offices with fat salaries attached.
The offices he has held have lieen
those of trust and responsibility In the
party orgiiilzntlnii, otllccs that paid
htm nothing, but that necessitated
oftentimes a good deal of outlay on his
part, tils first vierlcnru ns n dele
gate to 11 ntilrimul convention wns In
181)2, and ho tins not missed n conven
tion since. It wns hi WHO that he was
first elected New York niemlcr of
the national committee, succeeding tho
late Frank Imnfortli. He has now
served eight years In that imBl and,
as he wim again chosen to It at the re
cent convention In Denver, will serve
another four years.
"The Commissioner."
Mr. Mack has a handsome residence
on -Delaware avenue, Buffalo's most
fashionable residence street. The mis
tress of the mansion ami the mother
of the chairman's two lienutlfiil young
daughters Is n woman of unusual
Cleverness and culture. Mr. Muck
sometimes calls his wife "the com
missioner" In plnjful allusion to tba
offices of that kind she has tilled. The
Pan-American exposition first brought
Into play her rapacity In matters of
that kind. Mr. Muck worked loyally
both with his piiivr and through his
lnfliienco with Democratic stntiwiaon
nt Washington In behalf of Bufriiln's
beautiful though III futed fulr. He
holHil muteriiilly to put through the
bills which pledged tho uld of tint na
tional government to the undertaking.
Did Excellent Work.
Mrs. Mack was an active memlier
of the lioard of woman maiiagers nnd
did much entertaining In connection
with the entcrpiNo. A year or two
inter, when It camo tlmo to appoint
the New York commission to tl'.o
Louisiana Purchase cxtKmltlnn nt St.
Louis, Governor Odell made Mrs. Mack
the only woman member of the com
mission, nnd she did excellent work In
that capacity Mrs. Mack wns MNs
Harriet Tnggurt mul married the Buf
falo editor In ISO!. Her father, like
the lato Orover Cleveland, was onco
sheriff of Erlo county. And thereby
hangs a tain. It wns soon after Mr.
Mack had acquired Mr. Tnggurt ns a
father-in-law, nnd ltoswcll r. Flower
wns then governor. A vacancy In thu
hheilff's ofilce occurred. Mr. Mnck
nnd the Times Mere imt then the
potent factors In the Domneratlc pol
ltles of western New Ynk that they
llim Iss'Ollie since Hut the Tillies
proprietor took n trip to Albany ami
sow the gocnior, mid Just when the
other jMilltlclans were wondering vt ho
had the U'st chunee of selection for the
vacancy Muck came homo with his
father-ln-law's appointment In his
pocket This mado tho other Demo,
crats of Buffalo sit up nnd take notice.
Prominent Club Woman.
Mrs. Mark Is n graduate of the Buf
falo seminary .tin! a incinlicr of the
Oradutites' asHieiatloii, one of the lead
lug l ull lire clubs of the city She Is
also pminlneiit In the Twentieth ('en
tury iluli the mi mt noted woman's
cluli of Buffalo and one of tbe most
uccesful organizations of the kind In
the country. Mr. Mink Mings In tho
Buffalo and Illllcott clubs and to the
Country club.
Close Friends For Many Years.
The Macks have ofien entertained
the llryims ut their home, mid the Buf
fa 1. 1 editor und bis iiiTiuiiiilUliiil wife
luno Usui frequent WsIIiun nt I'ulr
view. Mrs t r it 1 1 nnd Mrs. Muck am
cUme friends. As for tho filen.Ul.li'
between tho Democratic iwiintiicc fot
president and the Denn- rall.' chair
man. It bus been un unbroken one foi
twelve j ears It was In 1hi that Mr
Mack' loyalty tu l- tarty Iwtdcr re
ceived lis Srst anfl eoveres'. test. He
came bom from that convention and
went Into seclusion for a day or two
to think over tbo situation. Every
where was party defection, and papers
that had never before balked at a
party nomination were Iwlttug the tick
et. The Times wns not then In the
strong financial situation that It Is
now, and to go up ngalnst the prac
tically united sentiment of the hus.
ness community demanded a courage
almost amounting to hardihood. Hut
Mr. Mack determined on sticking to
bis motto of party loyalty nnd facing
the consequences, whatMur they might
tie. It has since served him In good
stead to 1k nble to point to the fact
that be stood by Bryan when hardly
another Influential newspaper In his
section wns flying the flag of the Ne
braska lender And Mr, Bryan has
been Just ns loyal to Mr. Mack,
Forceful and Original.
There was talk among some of the
factional opponents of the Buffalo edi
tor of retiring him this year from the
post of member of the national coin
mlttee for New York. Troliahly the
New York delegation heard from Mr.
Bryan on this point. At any rate, the
strength of Mr. Mack with the party's
nominee was Influential In the matter,
and now, Instead of tsdng deposed and
discredited as a political leader, he la
In chargo of the campaign which la
being waged for the election of Mr.
Bryan to the preaMeney.
Tbo new chairman is forceful and
original. It was lllmrtratod one day
when a friend nsked him to define the
word "bonanza." Mr. Mnck, who has
had some exjicrlciice In mining, wns
Teady with a reply.
"A hmaiizn,'' said Ih, "Is u hole In
the ground owned by a d 1 llnr."
In politics and In JoumalNm he
fights hard, but ho fights fair Ills op
poncut know- where to find him. And,
though 1'irrj one recognizes his en
thusiasm ns a party man, lie counts
among his U-st fi lends mini) who bo
long on the other side of the political
fence.
TREES AS FARM CROP.
Many Tracts Whoso Out Usa Would
Bft Growing of Forest Tree.
In every state of the Union, says a
forest aerUcu bulletin, there are many
tracts of bo called agricultural land
which, owing to their hilly character,
poor soil or numerous bowlders, nre
not unliable for farming The owners
of such tracts nro often at a loss to
know what to do with them. WfSi
out question the tiest use to which
land of this kind can lie put Is to
plant It with trees. . One of the funda
mental principles of forest economics
Is that soli which Is not good enough
to make the growing of cereal crops
profitable should be devoted to the
production of wood crops. This does
not mean that trees grow liettcr on
poor soil than on fertile soli. They
will, of course, grow better on fertile
soli. But In proportion to the money
Invested better returns are secured
from trees planted on tbe less valua
ble, land.
Most of the cone bearing trees nnd
many hard woods as well will thrive
In soil of medium fertility. All trees,
however, do not thrive on iioor, sandy
ridges or on hillsides whero tho soil
is thin. Black walnut, hardy catnlpa
and white oak for their licst develop
ment require a deep, fertile soil, well
watered and well drained, nnd It Is
not advisable to plant them where
these requirements nro not met.
An Ohio farmer Is solving the proli
lem of what to do with tho wornout
farm. lie owns an old homestead of
sixty acres, which he la desirous of
keeping in the family. He docs not
llvo on the place, however, and farm
ing has been a losing proposition, no
has therefore decided to plant the en
tire tract with trees. Tie has already
planted 85,000 Norway spruces, set
three and one-half . feet apart each
way, on an area of about eleven acres.
These trees will bo cut&ns they become
largo enough for Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be plunted
In tho spaces left by tho removal of
the spruces, and It Is expected that
they will begin to conic In bearing
when the Inst Kjiruce Is cut. In addi
tion to the spruces, hardy entnlpa,
black locust, elm, box elder nnd hyen
moro have licon planted. It Is planned
to put the entire tjlxty acres In forest
within five or six years. The owner Is
wise In planting several kinds of
trees Instead of confining himself to
one species, nis forest will lie pro
ducing six or seven kinds of lumlicr,
chestnuts and Christmas trees nt the
same time.
UNIQUE QUAY MEMORIAL
Senator's Widow Will Build Home
After Plans He Originated.
A unique monument to the memory
of the lute I'nlted States Senator M. S.
Quay has been designed at Pittsburg.

(senator Allison's Career.
Altlio u'i the nblle career of tn
late Senator Wi l am B. Allison be
gan too late to gl e him plnce ntnong
the "pl.uiis'rs." ii that term Is usually
applied, ho nPM'rthcIc earned n place
In history nmoiiB tin. nation builders.
Ill Lincoln's lsc. bond there were not
tmiiiy schools around liltn that he could
hare attended hud he had tho time
Aillson, Kirn tw-enty years later, found
It school to top out his district School

In Ohio all tlie way to MeadUlin, In
Pennsylvania v hen he p. 1 1 1 . s 1 n
Iowa In the fifties he bioticlit up on
the very extreme of civilisation, He
wns n delegate to the national conven
tion which nominated Uticoln for the
presidency and hud he 11 oil n few
months longer would have witnessed
the nation's trll ute to Lincoln nn tlie
ci'iilennry of Ids birth Ills cans-r
coierisl a most Important ihtIo.1, nnd
he served Ills time well.
It wns said bj n colleague In the
senate that Allison "nmre than nny
other man Indeed, more than any oili
er ten men" - controlled and kept with
in bounds tlie constantly Increasing
pub'lc esMidlturn. And jet he was
the opposite of aggresslie, Ising con
stltiitlonally n compromiser. "Wise
nnd moderate" were the words nsl
b. this Mime colleague. Senator Hoar,
to decrl)H. Allison's methods, and nn
other colleague Senator lngalls, who
was i-oinethliiL' or a ilrebntnd himself,
ned to s,l itmt "Allison could run
ten miles over n corduroy road In
wooden shoes nnd not mnko more
noise than n eat." In fact, Allison
llviil well up to bis reputation of 1
lug the nvist cautious man In public
life. An lownn who thought he knew
him had no trouble In Injlng n heavy
lsi with nihil' who really did know
him Unit he could make the cautious

go.sl remarked cotiildently, "Those
sheep luii' Just Is'on sheared." Alli
son glnltccd the f hivp over mid finally
said. "It ln.il," like It on this side."
Senator Allison knew ns well ns the
next one that a one tided shearing Is
ns rare as n one sided slum. Still,
both may happen, and he didn't take
nny cluin. is. Yet with al! his mild
ness Allison was n man of undoubted
strength In the upper oIiuiiiIht, where
he sat for thirty live jears. Many a
wild mid duiigi-io'ts scheme which wtw
n tnoiinoc to public potion nnd safety
wns overcome through that wise nnd
moderate counsel which was ever tho
Iowa senotor's strong point,

But this Is n big country- Our de

A horse for every four persons is
what the govenu.ie.'it llgiires bhow.
That means 1:1 i.t s n i.iji if) horses. In the

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Returning to St Pierre.
Any ou who has seen tbo pretty
villages which hug the haso of tba
wrathful Vesuvius cannot bo surprised
by tho Information that a town of
nearly o.OOO souls has already sprung
up where 8t. Pierre once stood. It Is
only six years since Price's fires and
lava erasisl from existence a city with
nearly 80,000 persons.
It Is strange how people go back to
the old sissies of men despite plasmo
or disaster. There are few prettier
sights tn Italy than the white homes
of happy but fearless people, who
dwell all around on the lower slopes
of the volcano that destroyed Tompell
nnd Herculaqcutn.
To forget it at least Ignore a trage
dy that happened 1,800 years ago Is
not so remarkable, however, as the re
building of St. Pierre after a brief six
years. Every one rememliers clearly
what happened that fatal day In May,
1002, but tbe Islanders nro wandering
back to the site of tho old town and
digging In tbe ruins and building
homes.
How long Pel eo will remain at peace
no ono can tell. The friends of those
who perlrhed by Its fearful upheaval
evidently have faith In Its good be
havior for ages to come or tbay would
not venture to pitch tholr abodes with
in rnngp of Its fiery tongue. Philadel

How to Save Elm Treee.
Just plain lulling water and not the

cnusn tliii death of the isiu tree beetle
is what Christopher Clarke, city for
ester of Northampton, Mass., says. Mr.
Clarke says that tlHiy ara most vul
nerable now and can ba destroyed by
simply spraying thaw with boiling wa
ter. This kills them Instantly and
does not Injure tbe trass In tho least
degree. "No scraping off of solid bark
should tie dona," says Forester Clarke,
"as It removes the tree's winter pro
tection nnd Is positively of no use
whatever, as the txs'tlcs fly, thu worms
crnwi and the pupa or yellow bait
formed tioetles seem to bavo a sort of
snail power also to get down to tlio
ground In enormous numbers sis If
not scalded to death nre soon complete
lieetles which live throughout the win
ter."

made off White, lake, In Lake Michi
gan. Tho work is a tsiat raising teat
tu lift a big steamer, tbe State of

out of sixty feet of water In Lake
Michigan. It Is being carried on by
Fernando Btaud of Chicago, and if the
experiment Is successful salvage op
erations on the chain of takes will
take a renewed to rarest, Btaud pro
poses to raise tbo sunken steamer by
means of four huge buoys, each thirty

Conductor That Pleases Boston.
Bald a prominent Bostonlau the oth
er day: "Thero la one conductor on the

tend my personal felicitations. You
are, of course, quite familiar with the
salutation, 'Please leave by the nearest

the subway cars, which have three
doors, but I hnvo Invariably beard the
expression used, greatly to my auuoy

cars when a stop whs made nt Boyls

XMHt evening, .however, when uiycar

Rabbit Stealing No Crime.
That a pet rubl.lt is a wild animal
and Is no one's proissrty and that na
ono should bo arrested for taking a
rabbit from some one else was the rule
laid down by Judge Joslab Cohen In
a Pittsburg court In the cuso of Alfred
Ohllg, n veterinary surgeon, who was
charged with stealing a pot whlto rab
bit. Ohllg admitted taking the rabbit,
but his attorney pulled a natural his
tory to show that a rabbit was a "Po
rno nnturae," or a wild nnlmnl, nnd
no one's protiorty.
"That's right," snld Judge Cohen.
"Tho prisoner Is discharged."
Tho claim Is advanced that poll par
rots, even In cages, como under the
same class, nnd trouble Is In tbo alr.
