The Republican press is shouting
long and loud in an attempt to rid
icule Mr. Bryan's query, "Shall
the people rule?" They claim
that the people do rule. Yes, they
do in Pennsylvania whenever the
Republican machine has cash
enough to make it worth while.

The number of automobile licens
es issued by the state this year has
reached 22.500. Think what an
amount of money that number of
automobiles represents. At an av
erage of $1,000 each it would mean
$22,500,000, which is probably less
than the real amount invested, as
many of them cost as high as five
and six thousand dollars apiece.

Concerning the charge that the
"Israelites" wore wigs, the Dan
ville News says:
"The Israelites while in Danville
openly alluded to the charge some
times made that the long flowing
hair that graced their heads was
false. To disprove the aspersion
the men challenged any person who
might have doubts to come forwaid
and examine for himself. The
Israelites in Danville were generally
accounted sincere."
If the hair is not false, the "Isa
elites" can very easily disprove the
charge.

Worse Than Local Conditions.
A contemporary prints a dispatch
from Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands,
which states that the severest
drought experienced in these is
lands for a number of years is be
ing felt in the Kulga region of
Maui, a region devoted to small
farming. No rain has fallen there
for nearly a year. Crops have fail
ed and animals are dying for want
of water. Many of the people have
been obliged to leave the region.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Prince Eitel Friedrich, second
son of Kaiser Wilhelm, has been
applying himself to hard work this
summer, including carpentry, gar
dening, and building. A member
of the German royal family is con
tented to do work which appears to
be beneath the dignity of the sons
of a good many Blodmsburgers,
who spend most of their valuable
moments loafing on the curb and
displaying their knowledge of base
ball and kindred important matters.
May Cut Train Service.
Serious trouble is being experi
enced on the Catawissa branch of
the Philadelphia & Reading Rail
way, due to lack of water with
which to supply the locomotives
pulling freight trains. If a rainfall
does not soon come the trains on
this branch will have to be cut in
half until relief does arrive in the
shape of good, heavy storms. Re
cently a train arrived at Brandon
ville with the tank of the locomotive
almost empty. The Brandonville
tank had only a few gallons in it.
The result was that the train had
to be left standing on the siding and
the engineer had to run with all
speed to Lofty, 10 miles away, to
get the water. At the collieries of
the company serious conditions are
experienced.

Mrs. Mary Stutt. widow of the
ate Elijah Shutt, passed away on
Monday morning, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Howcr,

Bloomsburg and Millville Trolley.
At the town council meeting on
Monday night the question as to
the status of the rights of the
Bloomsburg and Millville Railroad
Company was raised. It was stated
that the ordinance passed August
12. iqos. provided that the road
was to be completed in 18 months,
and that it was for an electric road
aud not a gasoline motor road.
If there is anything in the ordi
nance that needs amending, there
ought to be no difficulty in having
it done. Assurance has been given
that work will be begun and push
ed through to a speedy completion,
and as the delay which has been
caused by the difficulty in getting
the road financed has now ended,
no straws should be laid in the way
of its construction.
Millville wants the trolley, and
Bloomsburg wants it, and the peo
ple along the line want it. Let ev
erybody give it all the encourage
ment possible.

GET TO WORK.
The rank and file of the Demo
cratic Party 'in this state care
mighty little whether James Kerr
or Colonel Gufley is the recognized
head of the organization. What
they want is harmony among the
leaders. The one thing in view
should be to get the party united
and organized, so that a full vote
may be polled in November.
Let the battle be all for the pur
pose of electing William J. Bryan,
for President, and let no inure time
be wasted in factional strife. The
interests of the party must not be
sacrificed through the quarrels of a
tew individuals who are seeking
for personal gain or for self ag
grandizement. The Democratic f
Party will not stand for this. Kerr
and Guffey and Donnelly and the
rest ought to get together, and quit
the monkey business.

A Novel Proposition.
A candidate for Mayor of Mont
clair, N. J., comes forward with a
novel proposition on the liquor
question, and it is not a bad one
either, though its constitutionality
may be disputed. He advocates
licensing drinkers as well as saloons.
His plan is that no man be sold a
drink in a saloon unless he wear a
tag, which shows he is duly licens
ed. "If a man abuses his license
privilege, punish him as you would
the saloonkeeper who breaks the
law," says he.
Just what is meant by an "abuse
of his license privilege" is not
stated.
