Election day. Nov. S.
It -will ncft take much time or ef
fort to )jln with your ncpiihllc.-in
neighbor 1n helpinpr to cail the people's
aittentflon to the ilmiportanoe of rot Ins;
the BtTailtrht 'Republican picket weolt
after next. The Republican whivo Re
publicanism Is too lukewarm for Unit
ehould be ashamed of his pretensions.
Got out the vote.
Time to Awaken.
Republican cannot afford to let this
year's e-lcct1o.ii go by default. They
canntot afford 'to let their sph niEd ma
jority of one year aso be paled by the
puccossion of a meager one bo-peaklnK
npathy and lniKlterence. Every tlletute
of Tarty prudence and party loyalty
calls for the polling of the entire party
vote.
Republicans In this county cannot af
ford, by their luken-arniness, to prlve the
Democratic em-my false pneouraKi
mcnr! They cannot afford to extend to
their candidate on the ta,te ticket, for
Ti-hoee nomination they worked and
f outfit, a support lesw earnest or less en
thulart'lc than he fairly deserves, and
lefj hnixiaina; than the county needs
to malntiiln Its self-respect anionic the
other eouiuU-s of the utate.
Republicans of Lackawanna cannot
afford to withdraw thi-lr support from
the splendid local ticket which hns been
nominated this year. The lmortance
o electing 'fit men to offlce nnd en
oouraifinK party loyaJty la even greater
' Jn an "off' year than it is in a year
when excitement Is hltfi and when,
from aheor momentum,, the, entire vote
la polled easily and with enthusiasm.
It Is tlmo to awaken and set to work.
What a fine iaugli the Democrats
would hare it iLackawanna Republic
ans dhould, by Indifference, lose a vic
tory dearly wltiln their reach! Get
out th vote.
No Tax on Bank Checks.
Ths protest of the Washington Post,
elaeivrkem repiwduoed, afia.lnt the
proposition to inortOHn the current rev
enue of the Government 4y resort to
tlhe emergvney method of a stamp tax
on bank cJieck is forcible and opixrr
txam. The migestlon, of tSiIs tax, llko
thrtt of the Income tax,' arises from
the lonverft pf class arrtajrontems the
.mlaftrtJo envy Iby those w(ho have
faflvd of "those who hlave Buccecded In
: life, n Is of a piece with the . mo
f tivea vt tho blKhwaymon who alms by
force of arms to correct Inequalities In
weaiilh Which lie Is too indolent or too
ancfuoient to correot by hontet end
ja.rnBtaklnc business endeavor.
1V be mrr, lit to not true that a tax
en bank chocks would be a tax felt
hy tho rtch alone; for it la a fact cap-
avis of nay demonstration that the
volume of tlhe business of out banltn
la furnWhd, not by the money giants,
but by the thrifty middle chuwee, tho
men .and women of mod era to means
who put their spaire pennies in the
Saving; banks rather than in the ma
loons or gambling; rooms. Hut whether
ithe burden of eudh a tax would fall on
those of mettro or upon those without
means, ft would be, In cither event,
a short-sighted, vexatious and un-
American tax, .tolerable only during
a grave national crisis not now citable
tn tts Justification.
The rrexit coneress, tn Its effomla to
overcome the (Democratic deficit,
ahould reject any mnd all expedients
Inoomsist'ant with the fullest possible
restOTtatlon of recently-sacrinced pro
ect'ion to ' American ndustry. It
ahvmld ait tiho vcTy 'bcglnnlnij insist
upon the restoralUon of the Bchtdulo
of tariffs on wool and woolens, tSiere
ty preservlnff from utlT extlnctton an
Industry all but ruined by the eoonomlo
miadmess of the Demooratlo chcvaWers.
; This ts the very first duty, rwamount
t!o all cithars, and unaffected by the ar
gument that a presidential veto-would
render its pctrformanco lnefftctua.!. The
thing for oongrtra to do Is to put back
Ithe tfaerlfieed duties eufflclently to
make tBie government firianclally re.r
eusteilnkng, and leave the es;wntlbillty
, of. a Veto upon the deficit-making pres-
' drJertt.
It Is t.o tlrrs, with this du!y un
performed, to tjlk about Iho revival of
emergency Internal taxation. .

Do the Republicans of this county,
In the face of the presence on the
state ticket this fall of one of their own
number, who has for years been a
stanch and valiant champion of Re
publican mien and measures, core to go
on record before the elate as Indif
ferent or apathetic? Are their mem
ories so" readily closed to post obliga
tions? The Democrats may ray so, but
for our part, we don't believe It. Get
cut the vote.

Republicans, to Arms I
The nearn.'M of election day should
speedily Iritis an end to the Indifference
which apia:etil!y exists amorg tile
mosses to the outcome of the ap
cronchirs eUvtiiin. It will under no
co'cumstaiuta 1 f r Iti pulilioau lVnii
sylranio. or Xor the K.mblicans of
Lackawanna county to f.ilit ron Nov. 5.
J-'uoh a ivsult would Instantly be In
terpreted by the Democracy as an evi
dence of popular approval of Its ad
ministration an administration which
h:is called down the worst business
panic in mr history, whli'h has. run the
govtrnmeni, in time of absolute peace.
Into marly a quarter of a billion Uol-l-.ua
of new debt and which cannot,
fnrni its miscalculated revenues, lny
much mo-re than half the current ex
penses. We do not believe that t'lthtr
Lackawanna county or the Ftate of
retinsylvanla wants U give the eem
blanee of cncoui.i gement to U'-h an
administration. We do not V lleve that
there ure many men, ev n among the
Democrats themselves in this state, who
would care to experience "Democratic
tlnu .i" over airaln, or who, having fore
seen what the change of ls;U meant,
would fail to want to change back
again.
It will be said, cf CMiive, U'-o-t this lo
cal election doesn't decide national is
sues. The Democratic politicians will
say this. bccau.- tt 1 to their ecllWh
ii l.ivNt to have the pmple foiir.-t na
tional lssu s, and overlook iK-nmcracy's
hoiTible mismanagement of them. Mot
intelligent vot rs will understand that
t'.'.e La title of week after inxt Is really
the oin-nlng engagi nu nt of next year's
presldenitlul iampilgn. They will eui
d.'rstarJl that i the Republican party
Is not sustained now, it will enter upon
that campaign nerlousiy cml.amisnfd
and handlo.il r"d, nnd will hae to
make up for l!--t ground when It should
hiiBband all i'.s utivngth fevr the com
niou enemy. ,
The state and local Republican tick
ets are both eiiperior to criticism. One
contains the name of a respected home
Jurljt. to wl o-m the voters of Iicka
wanna county fairly owe. a handr-omo
anil genenjus Indorsement. The other
contains the names of two progressive
young Reirulllcans wlxe private char
acter and pfofessloiuil 'reputations are
alike without stain or blemish. No Re
publican can honestly object to either.
No Republican cin consistently refuse
to support lKth. From every point of
View apathy 4s unpardonable-, and In
difference indffentrtl'le.
Let the laPt wmck of tho oanvj-aign
atone for past lukewarmneM. and te
made the Mlrrlng approach to a decis

The Republican candidate fer cor

find him thorouslhly capable. Get out

The rumor la a plausible one, but bo
doubt premature. It is not likely that
many binding "understandings" will be
entered into prior to the evening be

?,0 TAX OX BANK (HECKS.
From tho Washington Post.
There is nothing In the present condition
of the national nnoncta, or the relations cf
parties .'.hereto, that can nooessitato or
iu'ttfy the readoptlon of the war tux on
.auk checks There are psoplt who favor
this method of Increasing the revenues
on tho ground that 'rueh a tax would fall
wholly niioii the rich." If this were true
"tho rich" miRht ohject lo the propcjitlon
as a ape"lr.a of elasj legislation, similar
to the income tax. Undoubtedly "the rich"
have larger honk accounts thai persons
les fortunato'y situated, but only a small
proportion of the cherki essfced by the
banks in this country are drawn by
wealthy depositors. 8uch a tax might not
he a gret burden to "the rich." but It
would nnanesllornbly bs burdensome to
hundreds of thousands cf men who cava
small ccjllal. . .
' Thr cbeok pystem has te?n Bi'ootid hy
rca'-on Sf Iti aafuly anl convealenso by
fcT-o't evorvbody In ar.y end every It'nd
cf htsir.e?s. All but a small pcrenntrgo (.f
cfih t'anuel'on is reprejentcd hy eherke
rn.1' drr.fia The TiaU trace-man, the
thrlftv Tr.ochsnlc, the r'erk. and even ths
CLy lib-ror, In tarn larUncaa, pays hit
bills with checks. Largs numbers of wo
men of small means are bank depositors,
because they have learned that a bank
vault Is a safer repository for their little
hoards than a bureau drawer or a bed tick.
To put a tax on bank cheeks would ba a
totally .unnecessary Imposition of a bur
den on a hundred persons of moderate er
small means for every rich man, whom It
would reach.
To Justify the revival of this expedient
that was devised under the stress of our
great war, some urgent necessity should
be shown. It Is nof a euliicMent Justifica
tion to show that the revenues must be
Increased. We know that the national In
come Is less than the necessities of the
government demand. We know that the
last congress culpably failed to provide
means for carrying on the public business.
Tho country expects the Fifty-fourth con
gress to Improve upon the record of the
Fifty-third In this, the most Important
matter with which K must deal. But all
this does not call for the readoptlon of a
war tlx thirty years after the war. In a
time oi profound peace and growing pros
perity. The additional revenue should be raised
by tariff and not by Internal taxation. A
few slight changes In some of the tariff
schedules would afford oil the relief that
Is required. That is the direction in which
tho taxing power will be employed. If the
Interests of the people and their govern
ment nre consulted. Irft us wait till fate
Involves us In another war before going
back to war taxes.

Majestic Ranges are made of steel
and maleable iron, riveted together,
making them perfectly air-tight, gas
tight and ash-proof. The ovens can
not warp, being riveted to a solid
malable angle iron, both in front and
back, the body of the Range being
riveted to the same.
Remember.
This is the only Range in the world
in the hands of the dealer made this
way. For durability, economy oi
fuel, quick and perfect baking, the
Majestic -Steel Range has no equal.
To this 150,000 of the best houses in
America can testify. ,
