Epison continues to promise tbe talk

showing it st work.
Col. Bryan insists tbat Woodrow Wil
son shall pledge himself to be satisfied
with a siii)le presidential term. In pre
paring this pledge great care should be
taken to avoid weasel words.
Parcels mailed must have the address
of the sender on their face. There is no
better precaution to keep out of lbs dead

From .Washington comes tbe news that
Speaker Clark is greatly impressed with
recommendation by Representative
Townsend, ofNe Jersey, that tbe "Mr."
be dropped from names in House roll
calls hereafter, in tbe interest of economy
in time, and money, and tbat be may
dopt'it at once, providing there ia.no
objection from tbe floor. It is an entirely
useless and mesnlngless baudle before
any hjsn's name. ''Mrs," snd "Mis
indicate whether tbe woman is married
or single, but in tbe case of "Mr." it
means absolutely nothing. There is as
nally something about most men which
perve to convey so idea of their sex, even
if it Is nothing more lhau their clothing,
and as the "Mr." is indiscriminately sp
plied to sll sorts snd conditions of men,
married or single, rich or poor, high or
low, It is of no signiflcence. Wh v not cut

J Appropos to Water Power Grabs.
X Away back in the early part of the last
'"century, more than a hundred years ago
tbe principal of tbe right of the people to
possess in peace their own was established
in an opinion by Justice John Jsy, tbe
first chief Justice of tbe U. 8. Supreme
court, as follows:
A company at Mamaroneck applied to
the legislature for authority to increase its
water supply by overflowing adjacent
lands vuuipulsorily on payment of
damages.
Jay indignautly asserted legal princi
pies, which, perbap, have been too little
; considered by subsequent legislatures:
"When a piece of ground is wauted for a
' use important to the state, I know", be
said, "tbe stale has a right to take it from
tbe owner on paying tbe full value of it;
1 but certainly tbe legislature has no right
to compel a freeholder to part with bis
land to any of bia fellow citizens, nor to
deprive him of the use of it, in order to
accommodate one or more of bia neigh
bors in tbe prosecution of their particular
trade or business. Such an act, hy vio
lating the rights of property, would
most dangerous precedent."
be a
The Road Bond Amendment.
We observe tbat there are a good many
people In this com nunity who are not
certain of the wisdom of amending tbe
Constitution of Pennsylvania so as lo au
thorize the sale or M, 000,000 lu State
bonda for the purpose of building per
manent roads. The objection seems to
be baaed upon the belief tbat taxes would
be thereby incressed.
There is no ground for such apprehen
sion. Tbe bonds will run over a period
of many years, perhaps a century, and
provision will be made for their gradual
redemption through a sinking hind, so
tbat tbeir payment will be imperceptible.
No sinking' fund tax is contemplated.
There is no tax on real or persoual prop
erty lu this state for state purposes, ex
cept upon corporations, and any burden
that might fall upon the average citizen
on account of Increased corporation taxes
would be so slight as not to be felt at all.
On the other hand the benefits to be
derived from good roads would be dear
and substantial. Their advantage to a
farmer io a hundred wajs are so obvious
tbat it would besuperUuoulfteaiiuirfkwd
them. And by making tbe transports
tion of fsroi products easier, the consuin
er would be everywhere benefitted far in
excess of any slight increase of taxatiou
that might be involved.
Every civilized country iu the world
' recognizes tbe value of good roads, and
nearly every state in the Union is either
engaged in a campaign for permanent
roads, or has already secured the.-n.
Tbe only contingency thatcould render
the 50,000,000 bond issue for good roads
unwise would be the careless or improper
-nstruution of the roads, If tbe money
wasted upon roads that would not
e test or time or meet the expeo
'be people, it would Indeed be
isle of money. Hut that is
be people thenine!

The late snow has made tbe country

At Sheriff there was some one broke

"Phthisiophobia."
Karl de Scbwelnitz, executive secre
tary Pennsylvania society for tbe pre
vention of Tuberculosis, says:
-Ar,iwC di8ea,,e ht"a liooered.
Pbysicl8nsto!l ff Phthisiophobia; lay
men speak of It as "fear of consumption."
A person having this disease shuns
consumptives ss he would lepers. He
will not tslk to them; be will not even
employ a man who has beeu cured of
tuberculosis. He will bsve nothing to
do with ssuatora. This is cruel snd fool
ish. A careful consumptive is harmless,
as is also tbe man who has recovered
from this disease. Careless oonsumptives
should be sent to tuberculosis hospitals
where they will be prevented from
spreading consumption.
Remember also, tbat it is not easy to
contract tuberculosis. Consumption is a
house disease. An hour or so spent with
a patient Is not enough to Ive you tbe
disease- For this close associii"
Governor Ousts Factory Inspector on
Short Notice.
Captain J. C. Delaney of Lackawanna
was dismissed as chief factory in
spector of Pennsylvania by Governor
John' K. Tener for the "good of the
service.' The governor talked with
Delaney presumably about the cap
tain's announcement a few days ago
that he had the confession of John H.
Sanderson, the convicted contractor
for furnishing the capltol. Soon after
the governor announced the dismissal
of Delaney.
Delaney has been under investiga
tion for weeks. The Central Labor
mion of Philadelphia, the Consumers'
league and other organizations made
charges against him and the governor
has been probing these accusations. It
is believed that matters were ap
proaching a critical point.
After his discharge Delaney said:
"Itjs unfortunate in many respect
tnat me governor too snap juusmeui
without Riving me an opportunity to
resign. He cave no Intimation of his
intended action, although I ga'e him
every opportunity to do so."
