Labor's Holiday.
Labor Day grows in popularity.
The laboring men anil their fami
nes who this year celebrate the day
are more numerous than ever be
fore. 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.

cured for the use of the Borough

The Hag to be raised on this oc

seventy-five feet high and was the
gift of C. W. Sones, This Hag will
