This is partly due to the growing appreciation of the day and partly to the great industrial expansion of the nation which cre ates an increasing demand for both skilled and unskilled labor. The occasion is one of recreation and everyone, whether toiler or not, wishes for those who partici pate in the pleasure and relaxation of the hour the utmost enjoyment. People of means can take t heir out ings when they please and for an indefinite time. Hut the man who works by the day, who has to sup port a wife on the wages earned, and for whom a day oil usually means the loss of a day's pay, can not afford many holidays in a year and therefore to a very large extent he concentrates on this one day. ROOSEVELT'S TRIP TO THE WEST. Incidents of Important Tour to Be Described by Special Correspondent. Former President Roosevelt has started on a tour which promise* to be more important than any he took while in the White House. From now until September 11 lie will be traveling through the coun try making speeches of profound significance, and exercising a great influence upon national affairs. The North American is the only paper in Philadelphia—the only paper in Pennsylvania—which has a special correspondent on the train with Colonel Roosevelt. Angus McSween, the North American's Washington corres pondent, will be with Col. Roose velt every day until the return to New York, and will wire full re ports, not only of the incidents of| the trip, but of the political devel opments of each state. Pennsylvania—"A, Rich But Laggard State." Albert Shaw, editor of the Re view of Reviews, an exceedingly able writer, has for a number of years past been an efficient advo cate of Republican principles and measures, and supporter of Repub lican candidates who were fairly nominated. An amazing "change has come over the spirit of his dreams" and he seems to have lost bis former imprudence of speech, and endeavors to defame the enter prising character of a great state. In the August number of Review of Reviews, speaking of Secretary Knox, he says:"He would prob ably find it more congenial togo back to Pennsylvania and fight for all kinds of progressive and im proved things in that rich but lag gard common wealth." No Pennsylvanian will object to liis state being called rich for it is one of the richest in the Union Jts natural resources are very great; It was well timbered; its mountains in the western part are filled with bituminous coal, and in the Wy oming, Scranton, Schuylkill and Sullivan County regions the hills and valleys are stored with black diamonds; iron ore is abundant in many places; quarry stone and roofing slate are plentiful; new wells of petroleum are found as fast as the old ones are pumped dry. These great natural resources, be stowed niion Pennsylvania by the bountiful hand of the Creator, like Robinson Crusoe's gold, would be of no value if not developed by the enterprise and activity of the inhabitants. The word "laggard" according to tin* Century dictionary means: "slow, sluggish, backward," and that a "laggart" is a "lazy, slack fellow." When Mr. Shaw called Pennsylvania a "laggard common wealth" lie either slandered the state intentionally or else betrayed bis ignorance of its history. It is charitable to believe in his igno rance. He is not so great a scholar as we supposed. The enterprise, industry and public spirit of the people of Penn sylvania are known unto all men —except Mr. Shaw. At the close of the year INTO. (.'sl years ago) Pennsylvania had dug and in oper ation 574 miles of canals, most of them constructed by funds appro priated by the state, in that same year there were in operation 15,011 of railroads, principally built by Pennsylvania corporations and some of them extending outside of the state. At the end of the year 1870, New York had 85f» miles of canals in operation and f>,OOK miles of railroads. Thus it appears that Pennsylvania had at that time in operation 19 miles of canals and 9000 miles more of railroads than New York, the Empire state. Castelar. School Flag Raising. The new school Hag recently se cured for the use of the Borough schools will be raised, with appro priate exercises, on Monday, Sept. 5, at 3 o'clock, p. m. The public generally is most cordially invited to be present at the exercises. The Hag to be raised on this oc casion is a beautiful design of the national colors, ten by twenty feet, and was secured by popular sub scription through the efforts of James C. Caven, Esq., Secretary of the school board. The flag staff is seventy-five feet high and was the gift of C. W. Sones, This Hag will add much to the appearance of the school property. The school opens on September 5, with Prof. Willard W. Render as Principal of the High School, Miss E. Jessie Wrede, primary grade and, Miss lone Mason the in termediate grade. Ice Cream Sale.
