the strlkeis themselves and the wel

The men, It Is feaied. entered upon
this contest trusting ton much to the
empty pionilsci and oveisangulne rep-ter-entatlons
of their lendeis. Striking
had recently become fashionable.

Oitdlnly it Is to the advantage of

to beat out a solution with the strike

make still n be.tter showing In behalf of
the entetprlse and good Judgment of
the Lackawanna delegation, Before the
governor npplled his carving knife,
Lackawanna had succeeded In securing
legislative approval of lequests for
state aid to the nnwunt of JJia.'-'io as
against $07,000 for Luzeinc.
The fall of the executive knife upon
the allowance for 'J'Hylor hospital Is
slncctely regretted and was In pursu
ance of the rule, which was applied Im
partially, that no funds should go to
Institutions not yet In operation. Hut
the fact that the leglsbituie approved
tills allowance and the governor vetoed
It teluctantly makes It necessary that
the representative of the Taylor dis
trict should have another chance to put
this worthy chatlty on Ita feet. One
teverse should not mean fallutc, but
rather a stimulus to redoubled effort.
Although the appropriation for Lack
awanna hospital siiffcted a shrinkage
of $20,000 on lln.il consldoiatlon, the Im
portance of Its converting that hospital
Into a state Institution should not be
lost sight of. The amount gianted.
$70,000, if not affluent. Is, with cateful
economy, sufllclent; and since hetealter
the state will pay the expenses of this
hospital's maintenance, the $30,000 or
thereabouts .formerly conn United an
nually by our benevolent citizens to
keep It going will henceforth be llbet
atod for other woithy purpeses.
Altogether, the people of our county
have good reason to be satisfied with
the woik of their tepiesentatlves and
senator dining the legislative session
of 1901.
Pattlinan Thompson's fate is a
warning that It sometimes pays not to
be over-sollcltous. The iccoider nt
first did not know anything about the
patrolman. Hut after fifteen of the
lattei's friends, by day and by night,
at the tecordei's office, on the stteet
and at his home, had pounded Thomp

without occasion, the suspicion was
engendered that they protested too

AN ENTERTAINING writer in

There is no intention tn speak ill of the dead

It Is not convincing It doubtless Is

tanooiifly the details of some moie
noteworthv lapse from social propriety
which, had It occulted two genet atlons
cat Her, eould have been known only
within the nanow ciiclc of whispered
communication.
Hut this does not lmplyth.it the social
moiuld of our times aie worse than
were the social morals of our forbcais.
Certain well-established facts point to
the conclulon, on the other hand, that
they are better and gradually Impiov
ing. We do not. for lllutiatlou, toler
ate In our lltcratuie the coaiseness
which was conventional one bundled
yens ago. We do not penult In our
public men the open licentiousness of
which many of the greatest of them
were guilty one bundled years ago.
They are not all perfect, now, by any
means; but when a Parnell or n Rieck
Inrldge Is Indiscreet enough or unfoi
tunate enough to have his social deilec
tlons bi ought notoriously Into the pub

quickly retlifcs him to private obscui

we keep It out of view as much as pos

Englandeis whose puiltanlcal con
science has often been held up as a
model, the chances aie, if all were
known, we could very well Invito a
comparison with them In tho matter of
deeds.
In the case of Pierre Lorlllard tho at

gree smpathetlc for obvious teasons,
Hero was a man of lrngo wealth and
many good qualities whose domestic
circumstances wvie unhappy and who
sought vainly in llaslons the affection
nnd helpful sympathy that should have
come with his marriage. Ho sinned, but
be was also punished In tho very empti
ness and tantalizing Insufficiency of his
sinful strivings. But one thing ho was
not. He was not a hypocrite. The wo
man who sacrificed for him he Htood
by to tho latt. In this pp.t titular he
displayed a manliness of character that
is necessarily to his credit. Rut the
kindly Intetest of tho public Is not an
indoitement of social wrong-doing, it
is merely a tecognltlon of tne good
that shines thiough the bad in his
checkered caieer.
Tin records of the navy department

they are false, he shouldi move to

naval service, should, even at this late
day, If possible, order a court martial
nnd have this disquieting controvetsy

had been ebb Instead of flood, who
knows how widely the mischief might

The question Is, therefore, pertinent:
Has everything been done by the law
maker that can safely be done with
a view to erecting safeguards around
legitimate business enterprise for Its
protection against sudden nnd gener

Some things of laigo value have been

The president of the Pennsylvania
Rankers' association, James H. Wll
lock, In his recent addiess at the Erie
convention, argued effectively In the
affirmative, and quoted the sugges
tion by a brother hanker of the gen
etal lines of an act which would, it Is
believed, ptove helpful In this connec
tion. He proposed that the comptrol
ler of the currency keep it t all times a
sufficient supply of bank notes of a
special kind for emergency,, purposes
only, these notes to bo complete, ex-1
cept that blanks bo left open for the
corporate names of the hank to which
they are Issued, which name Is to be
Inserted 11 1 tho government printing
office on short notice. The reason for
this Is npp.uent when you remember
that wlvit a banker needs most rlurlnc
n panic is currency. If he waited to
hnve It printed, the trouble would all
be over bv tho time ho lccelved It.
This gentleman proposes that any na
tional bank be permitted to deposit
any of the lsues of the United States
bonds ns security and receive a like
amount of the emergency notes, pro
vided the nniount of the same shall
not exceed the capital of the said bank
In addition to the regular Issue of cir
culating notes to which he Is entitled
under tho present law. To guard

the first three months It Is outstand
ing at the late of C per cent, per an
num and 1 per cent, neldltioual per
month for each month thereafter. This
would Insuie its prompt withdrawal.
In titles where there are clearing
houses this form of emeigency circu
lation would piohably not be needed
or at least very Infrequently. Rut
It would have life-saving piopertles
for small Independent banks out of tho

bill embodying this Idea Is to present

thoughtful consideration.

To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not pend your money foolishly
becaugo you have bo little of It, but
nave what you can from month to
month nnd Invest It in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of thin election were laboring
mfcn a generation ago nnd they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all In. Tho pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thlnir, that the world had to have
It, and they bought coal land, a Uttls
at a time as thty could spare It, and
It has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will llvo In the greatest
comfort, while tho descendants of
Ihtlr Imprudent comrades are labor
ing as their fathers did for day!
wages.
Keep this object lesson In mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
were In coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist In oil, which Is fuel tn a
more concrete form nnd Is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
nnd cheaper to mine and handle, and
Is, besides being a mora economic
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for a hundred other uses. Tho
oil of California Is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retarded. Tho entire Taclfio coast
will consume oil as a fuel, so that
thp demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia Is unlimited. California oil
refiners will hold the markets of tho
far East and of the wist coast of
South America. It Is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
be the source of incalculable wealth,
far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been. In the past.
All thoughtful men can seo that tho
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured at low prices, and only
requiring development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
ehoreholders.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
Oil. COMPANY has in the most Im
portant oil fields managers of ability
and integrity and of the highest prac
tical qualifications for their business,
and the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 40c. but are selling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure monev to bore the first wells.
The price Is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands nnd on nd
Jolnlng lands. The market value of
the lands Is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an Investment In
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property and the character and
ability of Us managers this company
refers, by permission, to the presi
dent of the Broadway Bank and
Trust company, of Los Angeles, Cal.

will be received in
( The Tribune's 1
I EDUCATIONAL CONTEST
This action is taken for the purpose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $1,000 to have purchased the first special
reward, as the winning contestant had onlv secured for The
Tribune less than 400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect tne contestants that are working so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perfectly
fair, and it wishes it distinctly understood that the rewards of
fered are in no sense for sale, but will positively go to the con
testants who secure the largest number of points, which will be
credited only tor new and legitimate subscribers.
The Special Rewards:
Scholarship In Lafayette College $1,000
Scholarship in Swarthmore College 1,000
Scholarship in Stroudsburg Normal School 675
Three Scholarships in Seranton Business
College, $60 Each 180
Two Scholarships in Seranton Conserva
tory of Husic, $75 Each 150
$3,005
Each contestant failing to secure one of these special rewards
will be given ten (10) per cent, of all the money he or she turns in.

these srill be given ten (10) per cent, nf all the money be or (he turns In to The
