LAPORTE, SULLIVAN COUNTY PA. THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1907.
i Mrs. H. H. Spencer Painfully Injured.
Mrs. H. It. Spencer fell ami broke
tier hip bone ami also dislocated
j arne, Saturday |of last week. This
j very unfortunate accident occured
j while she was piling some slab wood
by the side of her wood shed and as
the pile was about to fall she endeav
ored to get a safe 'distance from it
hurriedly by stepping backward,and
doing so fell, causing the serious
injury as stated. She was assisted to
the house and medical aid summon
ed. I'pon examination it was found
to be so serious that it was advised
she be taken to the Wiiliamsport
hospital. Mr. Harry Spencer, lur
son, arrived from Wiiliamsport 011
Monday morning and had her re
moved to his home on the following
evening. She is reported to have
withstood the journey very well,and
also the painful task of having the
fraetered members putin proper
place. It is sincerely hoped by her
many friends that her recovery will
be speedy and permanent.
Tree preservation is a branch of ed
ucation that has been shamefully ne
glected in this state. To begin with,
we have so many trees that nobody
ever thought of the approach of time
when they would become scarce.
The reckless pace set by the early
settlers was kept up by their descend
ants,'and even yet human greed
drives prudence and discretion to the
rear. Many are beginning to realize
the situation, a fortunate thing,
since a few more years of reckless
waste would have left unto us noth
ing but a desolate land.
Parents and teachers can do their
children no kindlier service than by
teaching them to priserve the forests
and to care for the life of the trees.
A treeless land would mean ruin in
Pennsylvania. This fact ought to
stimulate all who have to do with
the training of the coming generation
to the earnest effort to train up a
race of Pennsylvanians who will not
only spare the noble trees nnd aid in
increasing their number, but see
that others spare them also.
Two thoughts should be impress
ed upon tha minds of young and old.
These are tree planting and tree pre
servation. Whenever possible a tree
should be planted for the bent fit of
coming generations. He who puts a
tree in the ground and waUihcs it
until assured that it will live, does a
good deed, the effects of which will
be left long after he has passed away.
What is spring? It is a pulsing in
the trees; a new song in the wind; I
that the birds flutter more recklessly;
that the flowers begin to push up
their tiny stalks; that beneath the
failed grass and through the woods;
stud in the meadows and even under
neath the flagstone* in the street, a
million little voices begin to call one
to another, a million infinitesimal
things begin to throw and awaken
and live, and a new comes into
our eyes and a new life into our souls
and a new song into our hearts, be
cause, some way we are dimly con
scious that the world is undergoing
a great change. Spring is life. There
is nothing in the world so wonderful.
The winter has gone. The snows and
frosts are things of the past. A world
that has been dead isalnxit to become
a world that alive.
We must live again with this new
born world. There were beautiful
flowers in our life last year—new
hopes, new ambitions, new resolves.
Then because life lias its seasons, too,
the time came when they lost their
freshness and their beauty. That
must be the reason spring i* given to
us over and over again, so that we
may forget the storms and bitter
days of winter, and take new hope
and new heart in the marvelous re
; awakening of life all amund us. The
■ robin, the violet, and the small boy
life has begun all over again for them,
i Shall it not begin again for us?

in the Civil war and served under
Captain Charles H. Bewley, Co. fJ.
61st Regiment Pennsylvania Vol
unteers and was honorably dis
charged in June 1865. Mr. Hazen
was well known throughout this
county. He was born in Lycoming
county January 10, 1844, and mov
ed to Sonestown when he was but
5 years old. He also attended the
grist mill at Sonestown for over
twenty five years. Mr. Ilazen is

"The Reason for Eagles Mere"
the title of the 1907 Eagles Men
booklet issued by the Wiiliamsport
and North Rranch railroad. As al
ways, the booklet is a model of tin
printers', photographers' and en
gravers' arts, and, as its name indi
cates, gives"the reason for Eagles-
Mere," a very complete and forceful
presentation v hy J. Horace Mcl'ar
land, reinforced by illustrations that
make one want to hie away to tin
peerless mountain top resort the first
hot day.
Building Boom ior Wilkesßarre
Last months building permits in
Wilkesßarre aggregated a quarter
of a million dollars and still hand
some apartment houses are in con
templation of erection throughout
the city. There is a great boom there
for the carpenter trade and other
mechanical construction work. Mr.
Aeeler has engaged his service Jwith
our former townsman A. E. Tripp,
«, ho is doing contracting in that
City. According to the Wilkesßarre
Record he has commenced operation
on a handsome block for Morgan and
Hughes and another building 84x45
under contract.
Mrs. James Gallagher Dead.
Mrs. James Gallagher of Satter
field died April 2l> at the age of 7:5
years. She is survived by four sons
and one daughter: Martin of Punx
sutawney; John of Jamison City;
M. P. ot Bernice; and Thomas who
lives on the homestead; and Mrs.
James Foley of Satterfield. The
remains were interred at St. Basils
cemetery on Monday.
Burning Ashes a Failure
The attempt to convert ashes into
a practical fuel mav prove an utter
failure as is now indieatad, hut the
widespread interests in the experi
ments sheds an interesting light, on
the avidity with which the people
of to-day grasp at the slightest indi
cation of a method for the suppress
ion or reclaiming of waste.
It is probable the most substantial
ly beneficial inventions of the pres
cut day have been along the line ol
extracting value from by products
formerly thrown aside as useless.
But only a beginning has been
made in this direction. There are
fortunes awaiting those who will
discover still more ways of turning
waste products to good account.
There is no occasion for discourage
ment in the mere fact that ashes
won't burn. Perhaps they'll dosome
thing else of more value to the indi
vidual who's clever enough to find
it out.
There are as good fish in the sea
as were ever caught.
Milton is elated over the fact that
a silk mill is to be operaU-d there.
The main building will be 10:1 feet
I front by 58 feet wide, two stories
■ high, with two annexes each 100x48
a water tower 22x22 and power house
48x52. The buildings will all be con
structed of brick. The mill will be
erected on a plot of ground situated
on Fast Hepburn street, near the eiiy
line, which was purchased fromJ.lt.
Miller. The company will be known
as the Snyder H. Souter Silk Com
; pany and will be incorporated under
! the laws of the Stite with a capital
I of SI 50,000.
Advanced Preparation.
A. S. Crossley, a Rloomsburg black
smith, has decided to provide for
himself a monument, which he will
have erected in itosemont cemetery
as soon as it is completed. Mr. Cross
ley says that by building himself a
tombstone he will be sure that his
grave will be properly marked after
he has left this world, although he
shows 110 signs of dying for awhile.
He has already prepared the epi
taph that he will have placed on it
and will manufacture the monument
himself. He intends that it Bhall be
made out of cement. In this manner
he says that he can save a great deal
of expense that he would have togo
to if he were to have a marble deal
er carve him a monument after
death.
The epitaph which he has decided
shall be placed on the monument is
as follows:
"Stranger, as you pass by;
As you are now, so once was I,
As 1 am now, so must you be;
Prepare yourself to follow me."
It is the first time in that town
that a man has taken it upon him
self to build his own monument. lie
says he realizes that we all must die.
He is aged about 00 years, and is
well known.
When President Roosevelt justified
his allusion to Moyer and Haywood
as "undesirable" he struck through
them at socialism in labor organizat
ions.
-His blow and the response have
brought to light aud put before the
public the avowed Socialists in
"labor." These men—Debs is a con
spicuous instance—are steeped in
s icialism. They are opposed to the
present constitution of society, its
private ownership, its competiti< .
and free contract.
For these men every labor dispute
over wages and hours is a new battle
field in the great war to overturn
society. They believe i;i ,'ioleijce.
Force, intimidation, sometimes as
sassination and often dynamite are
their weapons. They believe in the
red flag and use it. Where ttiey are
strong, as in San Francisco, they ob
ject to the Star* and Stripes in their
meetings, as was done the other day
when a < Serman organization brought
the flag into a labor gathering.
They are at war with the spirit,
the motive and the purpose of Ameri
can institutions. Their most power
ful organizations—the Western Min
ers' Union, of which Haywood and
Moyer are officers—has a long record
of crime, planned by its leade.s. ex
ecuted by its obscurer members and
condoned by its membership.
It was and order of men
who, under Debs in 1894, turned a
peaceful strike in Chicago, close to
arbitration, into an industrial war.
Men in sympathy with this view
and policy in this city precipitated
the textile strike of three years ago,
with its incalculable losses to the
labor, the industry, the markets and
the employees of Philadelphia.
President Roosevelt's courageous
letter forced these men 'to stand up
and be counted. They prove to be in
the minority, Jus every one knew
them to be who knew the facts. In
Chicago, in New York and Phila
delphia their attempt to marshal the
labor organizations of each city in
opposition to the President has whol
ly
Here their floats were turned out
of Saturday's labor parade. In New
York they were voted down in Sun
day's meeting. In Chicago the same
thing happened a week earlier.
These men are noisy, violent and
revolutionary. Big in talk they are
few in number. In the dark they
are dangerous. In the light they are
weak. Americans who labor, in and
out of labor organizations, are oppos
ed to them, their creed and their
work.
They are a daily peril to the ad
vance of the true interests of labor.
The thrifty, industrious, enterpris
ing, advancing laboring man and all
his interests are the safer because
these men are proved to be in a
powerless minority. To the Ameri
can workingman, drawing the lar ;
gest wages known, who expects to
own his own home, and often does,
■ to look after his own savings and
; provide for |hls future independent
|of State aid, socialism has no attrac
tion.— Press
