MILL STREET With the improved appearance of .Mill street, conies the debatable question, in the various con gressional gatherings of our professional gentlemen of leisure, with the force of a fall similiar to the destruction of the bulwarks of Port Arthur, as to whether we shall or shall not change the name that has been in use for so many long years, anil never before was ever given a single consideration in thai direction. Many and numerous are the names proposed. Some try to argue that Mill street is no niort appro] i rate, l'oll street has been suggested, for then are long polls, short polls, thick polls, thin polls, erooked polls and almost any other kind of a pole t< be seen along our most popular thoroughfare. Good arguments and reasons for changing the Muic hare also been advanced, but we can't see an\ reason for a change and still believe Mill is the most appropriate name. None is more suggestive than the geod old name, Mill, for haven't we a large louring and grist mill at the farther end, and do wt ■ot have the open doorways of about twenty-one jfia mills on this popular street ? \\ h*t'* the use of thinking of changing il ! Mill seems all right. Judge Parker Iws written to the compiler of the Democratic text-book saying "I beg of you to see toil that there is no word in it that reflects upon the personal honor and iutegiity of Theodore Roosevelt. An Ivveninp J'w* editoral indicates that little cure was taken in thai direction towards myself by the compiler of the Republi •*«< text-book, but let there be no rejoinder in kind oi otherwise." This chivalrous request has been scrupulous ly observed. The book discusses measures, not men. WE LL STAY RID OF THEM. <)ur i«sue of the 9th inst, containing the article on thu Red Star Trailing Stamp concern that had established itself here and then quietly slipped away to combine itselt with its Bloomsburg branch, had an extensive demand. Even from what is supposed to be the headquarters of tin concern, comes the following letter, which is a very good indication that the people in that section are also unto thwn and desire their annihilation: Danville Intelligencer, Danville, Pa., <: Hiii.kmkn: —Kuclosw lind "u in stamps for which kindly mail a copy of your issue of Sept. lltfi, to the following address, I' - . W, Montanye, 14 Linden .St., Sept. I."), 'O4. Newark, X. J. If our merchants or any other merchants desire to offer inducements to their customers, wouldn't it be far better to give a reduction on their goods, and thus benefit them by saving their money for tlieni, so that they will lie able togo to a reliable dealer and buy good goods? Wi are rid of this concern now, and trust our merchants will not be caught napping again by these people who go from place to place skimming the cream ofl the profits of fin s nail country merchants. Working men are unable to understand what tin President means when he says"The purchasing power of the wage-earner's dollar lias grown faster than the cost of living." The Federation of Labor is angry, and insists that it melius that the President doesn't know what n wage-earner's dollar looks like, not having earned his sal ary, since he began to draw it. YOU WILL BE KNOWN. A tree is judged by its fruits. It may grow rapidly, have luxuriant foliage, be bcautifui in ap pearance, but if the fruit is worthless, unless the true be needed for shade or ornament, it is useless. On the other hand flic tree might in no way attract one by its appearance, yet if the fruit be line, it it would be regarded as a precious trco and be pre served with all care. This same rule applies to men and women. What is beauty of appearance, agree able manner, or brightness of mind, worth, if the deeds be evil Such gifts would be worth very little indeed, and so we do not live long in this world before we come to judge men and women, not by their appearance or manner, but by their deeds. As fruit reveals the true life of the tree, so deeds reveal the true life of the soul. Ono may for a time decive his fellowmen by hypocritical words and actions, but sooner or later the secret life of the soul manifests itself in words and deeds which truly set it forth, and the man comes to be known for just what he is. t Election is fast drawing nigh. Six weeks from next 1 uesday we will cast our votes for or against the winning candidates, but the Democrats of Montour county run very little risk in e:istiug their ticket straight for their party this year. Indications are very favorable nationally, and the district and county tickets are sure to win. WELL CARED FOR Ihe picnic season has about closed. Sunday schools, societies, orders, lodges, etc., all had their outings. Many and varied were the experiences of the picnickers. A unique little affair was lo conic off last Saturday, when the infant department of the Mahoning Presbyterian Sunday school was to picnic at De\\ itt's Park. The day was bright and pleasant. Of course the children were to lie chap e.'oned. Ihc picnic was held, a good time was spent and the children were well taken care of, for, as the story goes the chaperons more than outnum bered the infants. General Grosvenor points with pride to the magnifi cent crops which the prairies of the West produce under a Republican administration. But now comes the report of a premature frost in Nebraska; what is the Veiled Prophet o" the Musk ingmii going to do to get credit for it ? TRIUMPH OF THE SUBMARINE Ihe success of the little submarine torpedo boat Shark in technically "sinking" the cruiser Columbia near Newport confirms the impression made by last year's submarine tests that the enor mous sums which Mr. Roosevelt's Administration demands for building big new warships may be practically wasted in the face of this new danger of the sea. David B. Hill is not a prize fighter nor does he dab ble in human gore to any great extent, but it must be difficult for him to sit sti'll when Senator Depew alludes to him as "Brother Hill." Artichokes seem to hi' it good crop this year on the old Grove cemetery, by the appearance of the many stocks now in flower. But then we guess the high weeds have them all choked oil! j ALL SERENE AT HEADGtUARTERS From the way the inspired Republican news papers are raving about diascntiocs and demoraliza ion at Democratic National headquarters we are led o believe that considerable effective work is being done there. From the very nature of things the Republican chairman and his vigilant subordinate would be the iirst to detect the real effect of Demo cratic efforts and what is more natural than an at tempt to render them negligible by spreading alarm ,ind distrust through the Democratic rank and tile Hut it won't do. The Democrats do not ex pect the work at their national headquarters to In '(inducted with the same smoothness that model •lork George Bruce Cortelyou has been able to im part to the Republican campaign. They have, be sides, the utmost confidence in the ability and in tegrity of Chairman Taggart and his corps of ad visers, so Republican stoiies about friction anions hem or lack of interest in the work in hand will leceive no one. As a matter of fact the plans ar-, working out at Democratic National headquarters much as it was intended from the start they should work out. •Judge Parker himself has announced that Senator ■ iorman will during the rest of the campaign give Chairman Taggart the benefit of his valuable ex perience. It has also been announced authoritative - ly that ex-Interstate Commerce Commissioner Mor rison will occupy a somewhat similar relationship to those in charge of the western headquarters at Chi cago, ami as the contest grows warmer other well known Democrats, who have not been in active politics for years, will come forward and give their assistance along with ex-National Chairman Jones tnd the leaders of the Bryan wing of the party who already are at work. It is not to be expected that all these strong men will work together with the tranquillity and system that characterizes Republican headquarters where Cortelyou dominates just as any big business man dominates his force of clerks, but at the same ■ime they are in absolute harmony as to their hopes md are doing their level best to elect the Democra tic ticket and defeat Roosevelt. In politics zeal is better than the decorum of a counting room any lay, and when the whole thing is over it will b•- •onie apparent that the Democrats also have their card indices and follow-up systems and know how to use them quite as effectively as do Mr. Cortel you's subdued young men. The St. Petersburg authorities pretend to be as much ■surprised at the unexpected appearance of a Russian man of-war in the harbor of .San Francisco as our own people were. They even pretend they did not know that t!io ship had sailed for that port; that the Admiral at Vladi vostok had not notified them of his intentions to send it there. No one believes a word of that denial. There is no doubt in any one's mind she was sent out to capture ships carrying merchandise contraband of war to Japan, and was compelled to put into port to make needed re pairs. WHAT CARELESSNESS MIGHT DO Several of the original nominees for Preside!) ial elector on the Democratic ticket of Texn liavc been discovered to be ineligible because i constitutional disqualification and changes have In: lo be made. The' Republicans experienced the sain trouble in this State and the fact that this shoui crop out in States widely removed from each otlx in both territory and political predilections suggest that it would be a good thing to have the elector: tickets all over the country looked into closeh Not even the winners would be satisfied with then suit of an election that turned upon carelessnes Vnd in the absence of a critical survey of the ticl jt* carelessness is the only word that could be a) plied if, in a very close contest, one or more electoi should lie elected only to lind that because of soni technicality or the other they are debarred froi participating in the work of the electoral college. If we except the Ilayes-Tilden contest, wliic! of course cannot be taken into comparison upon an feature of an ordinary Presidential election, none < the electoral college votes was so chjse that tl. throwing out of one or two, or even of three i tour electoral votes upon techniealties would ha\ iflected the result. l>ut that is by no means a sig that such a contingency could not occur. Indeed very close vote in the electoral college is one of 11 • things likely to happen at the next election. In 190 Mr. McKinley secured -1)2 electoral voles and Mi Bryan 155. The same States to-day would gi\ Parker 1 f»5 and Roosevelt 310. Among the State voting for Mr. McKinley at that time which ar now regarded as debatable and likely to be earrie by the Democrats, are New York with 39 electoa; votes; West Virginia 7 votes; New Jersey, 12 vote Indiana, 15 votes. If these 73 votes swing fro; the Republican to the Democratic column I he resul will stand, Parker, 2.'is, and Roosevelt, 237. The disqualification of one Democratic elccto would throw the contest into the House of Repn sentatives for the first time since 182-A, and the di qualification of two would defeat the will of the pe< pie as expressed through the ballot box. Thi would make the third instance of that kind ii twenty-eight years—Hayes in 187(1 and Clevelam in 1888, both having received a plurality of tin popular vote. A parcel* post, up to a limit of ton or fifteen pound is sure to conic iu the future, whatever the present Post master General may think or do about it. Now here is ; line opportunity for the Democratic party to win glor and do the public a service. I,ct its whole representatioi in the uext Congress agree to urge a parcels post, such a now is so popular in England and Germany. They cai insist upou demonstrating its usefulness, and compel tl> Republicans cither to deny the reform, or assist in placin; 1 it upon a permanent footing. The Bloom Fair and the new trolley will run ham iu hand. Chairman Taggart's little trip to Indiana, which gavi the Republicans cause for much untimely glee, has ha the effect of wonderfully stiffening up things there. I consei|ueuce there is alarm in the G. (). I\ camp. OIK ol the salutary results of a Democratic victory in tin Hoosier .State would be the enforced retirement of tin young Mr. Bcveridgc, whose term is about to expire. Who was Montour county's greatest man? Waken up, ye readers, and let us hear from you. The "Courrier des Etats-Unis" of New York tliini:.- the greater part of voters of the French tongue wfll vote for Parker and Davis because they are naturally Demo crats. It may also be inferred that some of them are in fluenced by the knowledge that many leading Republicans believe with Congressman John Dulzell that "the onlv hoodlums in the United States are foreigners." General Corhin is opposed to marriage in the armv but he takes care to say that there arc exceptions. When an officer manages to capture an heiress, for instance. Webster Davis, who has not answered the charge of pocketing $100,01)0 of the Boers' money, says he is will [ mg to vindicate his reputation as a campaign thriller and turn on the fountain of his eloquence if he can get his feel in the trough again. Ihe Rev. Mr. Wagner, exponent of the simple life, 1 luladclphia is "the most beautifully named city in I the world." Wonder what lie would say of its politics if lie could get a glimpse of that ? I DR. SWALLOW'S CAMPAIGN STRIKES AT ROOSEVELT Prohibition Candidate Will Make Most Speeches in Doubt ful States, Where Deflection of Votes Will Help Pai'ker The Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow, Pro h'.bilion candidate for President, will bo disappointed if his vote dro< not exceed l lie high( st ever cast for any other Presidential nominee of his party. The doctor has made a careful can vass of the political *itnation in the country, and lie believes that the Prohibition cause was never no strong and its prospects so bright as J this year. lie knows, of course, that he can not be elected, and his only purpose in rnnking a speaking tour of the country, which began at Boston on Thursday, and will continue until the Saturday preceding the election, is to bring his candidacy before the public. Would Moke President Suffer. Swallow's list of appointments in cludes eighteen meetings for the States of New York, New Jersey and Indiana, and ten in other States. Ap parently, the cream of the Prohibition canvass is a wild hope to divert en ough votes from Roosevelt in States regarded as close to elect Parker. National Chairman Stewart, who is directing the Prohibition campaign from headquarters at Chicago, has I advised Swallow that the demand for CZAR MAKES SLIP OF THE PEN Mopes Troops May he Permitted to Die for the fatherland. St. Petersburg, Sept. 15.—Consid erable amusement has been caused by a slip of the Emperor's pen in ac cepting the oilers < if several compan ies of .Siberian milita who volunteered for service at the front. The l'etition read: "We humbly lay at your Ma jesty's feet our desire to be permitted to light ami die for our Fatherland." The Emperor in accepting wrote on the margin of the petition in his own hand: "I thank you sincerely, and hope your wishes may be fully realized." Woman and Daufilitcr Fell Into Well. Wat son tow n, Pa., Sept. 19.—Mrs. Willis Molir and her 12-ycar-old daughter, Myrtle, were thrown into a deep well at their home near here lo day hv the plank floor collapsing. The girl went under, but was rescued by her mother, who was standing in water up to her chin. Encouraged by Mrs. Mohr, the girl climbed the puuip, anil, securing a ladder, rescued Iter mother. It may have b,ion all right in I lie primitive (lays of our Statu to permit a freeholder to woik out his road tux hut that system is out of date i>ow, especially since tiio pnssago of cur good roads law.

FiRST NEWS! BEST NEWS! THE WOIiLII II THIS I'HESMTML MMi'l,! WORLD, as the "Chief Champion in America of Democratic Ideas," will be the most interesting newspaper in the country in this Presi dential campaign. It already has a much larger circulation than any other morning newspaper in America. It will tell everything that is done or said to the public by both Pre sidential candidates every day until after the election. It> editorial page will—as it always has—support Democratic pl.it forms and Democratic loaders when they are right. It will not support and it never has supported—them when they desert true Democratic princi ples and put themselves in the wrong. Its news will be absolutely fair and impartial. It believes that the truth is always to be told. The World believes that the triumph of the Democratic party on a truly Democratic platform means a return to sanity and purity, a return to' those ideals which won for Americans the admiration of the world as a peo-' I'lo who minded their own business, and wore willing other people should mind theirs. It is on these lines that the battle must be fought. The divergence is sharp and clear. On one side arc corporate might, the spirit of adventure millions and yet more millions for army, and navy, and a dangerous foreign i policy. On the other side arc dpial opportunity for all, the free develop- i ment of the individual, a just observance of the rights of others, mid honesty ' and moderation in the public expenditures.
