Montour American.

Danville. Pa., Sept. 5, !907.
Back to Work.
Tiie Summer play spell is drawing
towards its close. Thisjveek and next
practically closes the 'ason for tlie
large majority of people, who have au
extended vacation, or who have cot
tages or live in the country, at. the
lake or other resorts during the so
called heated term. The public schools
open the first of next week and par
ents hie home usuatly a few days in
advance to prepare wardrobes and pro
cure other necessities forfchildren for
school. The housewife has her canning
and other early Fall work to look af
ter, and the business man to enter in
to or prepare for activt Fall business.
More people are now rotuming from
their vacation than are leaving the
oity for a play spell. Next Saturday,
Sunday and Monday will find railroad
trains crowded with folks who have
had a few days, weeks or months of
vacation, as the case may be.
It is not usually so regarded,but the
homecoming of the vacationist bears a
far more important relation to his own
and the public welfare than his de
parture. Every avenue of human ac
tivity will receive a new current- of
energy and vitality of the vacations
have been properly spent. Great pro
blems that lay unsolved before the
tired eyes of workers in May or June
will be taken up and a quick and easy
solution found. Enterprises of mo
ment affecting vast improvements
which have lain untouched for mouths
will be put into motion. The arteries
of trade and of industry will feel the
pulse of a new life and fresh vigor,
affecting not isolated concerus_J>ut
reaching out for good throughout en
tire communities. The individual who
has only his own private responsibil
ities will take up his work with new
courage. It may be possible that when
the opportunity for a vacation came
he was about to give up in despair
and own himself beaten in the game
of life. A few weeks at the seashore
or iu the mountains has given him a
new view of life and added new
strength to his nerves and his courage.
All this accession of renewed energy
and activity pours into the currents
of human endeavor a stream of in
creased vitality which will be felt to
the farthest corner of human work
and thought. It is astonishing what
encouragement comes to workers
through the opportunity to pause a
moment and view their work from the
outside. The outgoing vacationists
With all their high anticipations of
having a good time carried with them
a rather tired conception of their own
place and work in the world. Bad as
things may have been in June, Sept
ember somehow looms up radiant, with
a better promise. All this is the result
of sensibly spent vacations, and the
value of such a period of rest is only
half told when we recite the number
of pounds we have gained or proudly
exhibit the tanned skin we have ac
quired
Radical Change,
At the last sesison of the legislat
ure, a joint resolution was adopted
providing for certain amendments to
the State constitution. This resolu
tion will come up again for considera
tion by the next lrgislature, and if
adopted, will lie voted on by the peo
ple of the state iu the year 1909. The
amendments, which affect the people
generally, relate to the change in the
elections, the terms of county and local
officers and of aldermen. The changes
suggested ;ire sweeping ones. The pro
visions of the proposed amendments
3s gathered from the pamphlet laws
just issued, are as follows:
'Elections are divided iuto two clas
ses. One is called the general election
and the other the municipal election.
These elections are to be held only
once in two years. The general elec
tion is to be held iu the even number
ed years; and the municipal elections
in the odd numbered years. Both are
to be held on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November in each
of the respective years. The spring
election is to be entirely done away
with.
The term of every county office is to
be four years and aldermen and just
ices of the peace six years The term
of local offices that in now one year is
to be two years, and the term that is
now three years is to be four'years.
the amendment be adopted, all j
officers.to be elected in the even num
bered years, whose term of office will
expire in an odd numered year, will
hold his office for one year more. And
all officers to be elected in* odd num
bered years, whose terms of office will
expire on an even numbered year,will 1
hold his office for another year.
All county, city, ward, borough and
township officers are to at
what is termed the municipal election ;
and this is to be held in the odd num
bered years. The terms ot all city,
borough and township'officers are to
begin on the first Monday ot Decem
ber after their election. The time
when the term of other officers is (o
begin is'not.to be changed.
String of Big Bass.
John D. Jones, Motyrey street, on |
Labor day, caugtit what is probably j
the largest string of bass that has been j
taken from the Susquehanna by any of
the local fishermen this season. His
catch numbered 10, the smallest one
being 11 inches and the largest 17,
while the other 8 measured between
13 and Id inches.
BIG PILE DRIVER
IS RECALLED
: The D. L. &W. railroad company,
which a couple of weeks ago began
I work on an important improvement
! just cast of the station involving the
I changing of the course of Blizzard's
\ run and the construction of a concrete
I culvert, finds the job a rnoch more
j difficult and complicated-one than was
j at first figured on.
As a preliminary step some weeks
! ago the big pile driver was brought
here and, as is customary where con
crete bridges are contemplated, logs
ten inches to a foot in diameter were
driven iuto the roadbed to support the
! track while the new bridge is in
building. These were all the piles that
it was thought woxild be needed in
the operation and when that job was
completed the pile driver w;as with
drawn. After a week or more was
spent iu excavating and a depth of
some ten feet was reached, it was dis
covered that, instead of a solid bottom
on which a concrete structure might
be built, all about the spot was a sub
stratum of soft and yielding clay of
unknown depth.
There was only one way to overcome
this defficulty and that was to drive
piles into the bottom of the deep ex
cavation at regular intervals and on
| the bottom thus reinforced to con
\ struct the concrete foundation.
The pile driver was recalled. It ar
rived Tuesday morning but did not
nearly complete the work. The piles
"driven are as large as those employed
to support the track. Scores of them
will be required to furnish a founda
tion for the concrete,besides the work
is subject to many interruptions due
to the passing of trains, so that yes
t( r lay it was not thought likely that
the pile driver would get off the
ground before Thursday.
Need of School for Parents.
To the normal infant of the human
species it is commonly a source of as
tonishment that the world into which
he has been put without his consent,
is not his to command. His nearest
relatives are, as a rule, his devoted
slaves. He has never intentionally
done auything for them, except to rob
them of quiet thoughts by day and of
slumber by night. Yet they scuttle
about endlessly to amuse him and
gratify his wishes. The arrangement,
so far as it goes, is good enough from
his point of view. But its limitations
j are grotesquely apparent. His retinue,
j as it turns out, is composed of servit
ors of only very ordinary powers.
Ambition bids him get as much
power as possible, enlarging to that
! sn<l the circle of persons who accept
and execute his orders. Meanwhile it
is good to be amused. If one has
enough money one may be botii idle
and important; hence it seems to him
that money is the secret of happiness.
| Here is a deduction that protrudes
from the surface of things if one be a
j sufficiently superficial "reasoner. So,
| the lesson of life having been learned
j up-side-down by the growing youth,
j ambition is ready to do its worse in
I his case, as in many others.
The succeeding years which he de-
J votes to making money and paying it
j out for pleasures more or less dubious
are of no special interest. If lie never
gets beyond this stage he has lived in
vaiu. To the end of the chapter he is
jof no importance to anybody except
I his heirs and the other parasites that
j expect to prey upon him, living or
dead.
, One of the great needs of the age is
| a proper school for parents. Even those
j who have learned the lesson that life
is service are prone to apply it the
wrong way. The child of their own
] is the obvious vessel to receive their
| devotion and he accordingly receives
! it. But they do not look beyond him
| —do not look even so far as to the
] years of his'manhood, when a taste for
| usefulness to others should have been
j made his by their training, not greed,
| not a consuming love for pleasure and
I a tendency to shirk unpleasant duties.
How to set this matter right for the
rising generation and future genera
j rious is one of the great problems of
mankind.
TURN TABLE
ABOLISHED
The turntable, which for so many
years was au appendage of the D. L.
& W. railroad yards at this place, has
been abolished and on its site a switch
is being constructed to connect with
the round house.
Hereafter locomotives will he turn
ed at Bloomsburg. Among other
changes the supply coal, which in the j
past was always left exposed, hereaft
er will be kept in the round house. |
From time to time a great deal of the
coal has been pilfered and it was
deemed advisable to give it better pro
tection.

A RIRD'S EYE VIEW
OF SWITZERLAND
Dr. Benjamin F. Diseroad, who
wrote so interestingly several weeks
ago of his impressions of Edinburgh
and Scotland In general, has sent an
other letter to a friend in Danville.
Dr. Diseroad, after leaving Scotland,
journeyed to Switzerland, by way of
Paris and spent some time exploring
the wonders of the highest peak of the
Alps. His letter which is given be
low shows him to be a close student
of nature and capable of an interesting
portrayal of the incidents of his jour
neys.
The letter follows:
"I arrived in Geneva yesterday and
today lam taking a climb up Mt.
Saleve, the highest peak in the vicin
ity of Geneva. Seated on a huge boul
der thousands of feet above the sea, I
am writing this letter.
"From here I can see Mount Blanc,
ninety miles away, the highest moun
tain in Europe. In the other direc
tion 1 caft see across Lake Geneva and
100 miles down the valley. To my left
is the beautiful city of Geneva. Down
the valley toward Geneva the air is
clear save a few white clouds obscur
ing part of a distant mountain. On
my right,looking toward Mount Blanc,
I am impressed with the black clouds
moving up the valley, and some dist
ance below me and for the first time I
am looking down on a thunder show
er.
"It is a strange experience to see
the lightning flashing below you and
the roaring thunder in the valley.
"Above the storm an eagle is sor
ing gracefully around in the majestic
glory of its power It appeared quite
near as I focused my glasses on it.. I
waved a little American flag at it and
as it did not take fright I judged it
surely must be an American eagle."
Dr. Diseroad also writes another let
ter, this one being written during his
ascent of Mount Blanc, several days
after the incidents of the above:
"This letter I am writing from one
of the highest peaks of Mount Blanc;
12,000 feet above the level of the sea.
Yesterday I made the ascent aud readi
ed Mede Groce.one of the finest glaci
ers in the world. It is a wonderful
river of ice about 2000 feet wide and
| miles in length. The ice varies in
: thickness from 100 to 500 feet and is
moving down the mountain at tho rate
of 15 to 20 inches a day. It carries
j with it huge boulders of rock and
granite weighing thousands of tons.
"The glacier is white in places but
as a rule it is of a beautiful grayish
hue. There are great wide fissures at
| several places and one is unable to see
! bottom on looking down.
\ "We crossed the glacier with the aid
| of ice shoes and picks, and spent the
afternoon until sunset high up on the
floe aud from there watched the sun
sinking over the distant mountains.
The sky soon changed to a delicate
pink aud reflected its Color on the
snow covering Mount Blanc, changing
1 the whole to a pinkish tint anil giving
1 the effect of the entire top of the
mountain being ablaze. Likewise the
; glacier took on various hues as the
I sky changed with the sinking sun.
; "Am very high iu the mountain
this afternoon aud all around me is
snow and ice of unknown depth. But
! directly in front I can look down into
the fertile Chamonix valley aud see
the men working in the harvest field
The contrast makes the scene vtry in-
I terestiug.
"Am enjoying this stay iu Switzer
land with two recent graduates of Ox
ford, whom I met in England and
j joined at Paris. This morning on our
I way up the mountain we met two
young men from Yale university. We
had au interesting chat, aud after giv
ing our respective college yells, we
parted."
FOOLING A CAMEL.
How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust
Its Bad Temper.
You all have heard stories about the
! camel—how patient and useful be is
on long, hot journeys, so that be is
often called the "ship of the desert."
. But he has one very bad fault. lie
i likes to "pay back," and if his driver
has Injured him in any way he will not
i rest till he has returned the Injury.
The Arabs, who wander about the
desert? and so use the camel a great
deal, know about this fault of his and
have a queer way of keeping them
selves from getting hurt.
When a driver has made his camel
angry, he first runs away out of sight.
Then, choosing a place where the camel
will soon pass, he throws down some
of his clothes and fixes them bo that
the heap will look like a sleeping man.
Pretty soon along comes the camel
and sees the heap. Thinking to him
self, "Now I've got him," he pounces
on the clothos, shakes them around and
tramples all over them. After he Is
tired of this and has turned away the
driver can reappear and ride him away
without harm.
Poor silly camel! He has been In
what we call "a blind rage," so angry
that he can't tell the difference be
tween a man and a heap of clothes.—

MEMORIAL TO
THOMASJEFFERSON
To honor the author and other sign
ers of the Declaration of Independ-
I ence, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
| Association of the United States, a
' body corporate under the laws of the
District of Columbia, and directed by
a Board of Governors composed of em
! inent Americans who are co-operated
with by a vice president and State
: Committee in each State of the Union,
I plans have been approved which call
i for the erection at the National Cap-
I i of a memorial building of consid
erable proportion and of classic arch
itecture. The Parthenon at Athens
has been accepted as the design. The
estimated cost will be about |ooo,ooo.
This tribute will be in desigu and
cost fully iu keeping with the magni
ficent character of the men and the
i importance of the document declaring
jto the world iu unmistakable terms
"that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights ; that
I among these are life, liberty and the
' pursuit of happiness ; that to secure
these rights governments are institut
ed among men, deriving their jus
| powers from the consent of the gover
j ned".
No appeal will be made to congress
for financial assistance, as iias been
frequently the case in the erection of
' memorials to others,
i Modeled after the Parthenon at Ath
ens, the proposed building will be
most imposing and attractive. The
I plans,now completed,call for a struct
ure 76 by 130 feet. In general outline
it will resemble the stately main build
; ing of Girard college in Philadelphia,
only it will be much more ornate and
| will contain many architectural re
finements that the other building lacks.
| Iu addition to the 48 pillars that will
entirely surround the big rectangular
structure, there will be an inside row
iat the main entrance. Charles Bald
erston is the architect and John Boyle

Epidemics of Typhoid F^ver.
If there were less pollution of wat
er in Pennsylvania there would be
fewer cases of typhoid fever and few
er untimely deaths. Of late years
some attention has been paid to the
purification o£ streams from which
drinking water is drawn, but not
enough has been accomplished. Tiiere
is yet too much indifference to the
public health aud too much pollution
of streams everywhere.
Last winter there was an epidemic
of typhoid fever at Scranton.and many
persons died of the disease. In Dun
more and other towns in the vicinity
there were many cases of the disease
and a large proportion of deaths. The
health authorities claimed that the
\ cause of this epidemio was the pollu
j tion of the water supply. Annually
there are thousands of cases of typhoid
in Pittsburgh, and conditions in Phil
adelphia are even worse.3 Pittsburgh
gets its water from the Allegheny riv
er, which is seldom if ever clean, and
Philadelphia draws its water supply
; from the Schuylkill, which is uearly
! always unclean.
; There is now an epidemic of the dis
ease at Ridgway and one hundred and
twenty-five persons are 111. There are
not enough nurses in the town and
manufacturing plants have been closed
because there are not enough working
men to operate them. Here, too, it is
ascertained that the outbreak is due
Ito impure water, and that all the iu
| fection came from one spring. This
spring became polluted in some way
and it was nobody's business to ob
i serve its condition. The penalty for
this indifference to health is the epi
j demic.
I Man is the architect of most of his
misfortunes, he responsible
for most of the ills that assail him,
and ho.is indifferent to the foonifort,
convenience and healthjof his fellows.
He should be compelled by law to re
frain from polluting streams with sew
age aud deleterious matter from in
dustrial plants. It should.bejthe busi
; ness of somebody in every community j
' to examine the water frequently and i
give notice of its condition. In short,
; every community should take common
sense precautions to make impossible
an outbreak of any preventable dis- j
. ease.
COMMUNITY IN
GOOD HEALTH
The health of the community as
shown from the report of the local
registrar, Dr C. Shultz, has, during
the month of August, been exception
ally good. At present there is but one
home in Danville that is placarded,that
being a oase of scarlet fever. During
the whole month there were bat four
cards displayed announcing com
municable diseases.
The report of the registrar shows
that there were 24 deaths in this dis
trict during the month of August, six
being at the hospital for the insane.
The death rate is slightly above that
of the two previous months, there be
ing 20 in July, 7 being at the hospital
and 21 in .Tune,s of these being at the
hospital.
The returns for the births are not
all iu as yet for August. In July there
were 22 births and in June, 25.
Recent Railway Legislation.
The legislatures have all finished
their work for the calendar year and
it is instructive to look back over the
swath that they have severally and
collectively cut through the railroad
operations of the country. Nearly
three hundred bills have been passed
affecting the railroad interests of the
United States, the most prominent
among them being those that have re
duced the rates of the various lines.
There are twenty states,or nearly half
of the whole bunch, that have either
reduced rates on passenger traffic or
have taken preliminary steps with
that in prospect. It is a radical change
all along the line. The basis of it has
been largely hit or miss. Ohio was
the first state to declare a flat two
cent rate and as the railroads in the
state have shown larger passenger
earnings since that was done, other
states, without a close examination of
local conditions, have assumed that a
similar result would follow similar
action.
Indiana has a flat two cent rate.
lowa makes the rate two cents on
roads with gross earnings of 14,000 a
mile; two and a half on roads earning
13000, and three cents on roads earn
ing less than that. This looks like an
attempt to supply a basis ajdusted to
the strength or weakness of the road.
It does not insist upon a Procrustes
bed for the road to run on. But Mich
igan has decreed that all roads hav
ing passenger earnings of $1,200, a
mile shall pay the two cent rate. Wis
consin bases it on gross earnings of
$3,500 a mile, and West Virginia on
all linos over fifty miles in length.
The two cent rate went into effect
in Nebraska last March, with penal
ties for violating the statute so heavy
that the roads put it into force upon
the very first day it was due, await
ing final adjudication of the constitu
tional questions involved by the sup
reme „ court of the United States.
Pennsylvania's two cent rate law will
go into effect October l.although here
the fight against its constitutionality
is being waged in the State courts,
the only state where the appeal is to
tiie local trihuuals. Iu the southern
States the rates have not dropped to
what is the popular-figure iu the
north, but low enough to arouse sharp
controversies,as the country is by this
time well aware.
The new public service commission
in New York cau make a two cent rate
if so disposed. So can the new rail
road commissions of Vermout,Montana
and South Dakota In the States
north of Mason and Dixon's line the
average earnings per train mile are
abDut twenty cent, higher than below
it. Massachusetts is classed among the
ten states from which similar legisla
tion to that enacted in the States quot
ed is expooted. The big railway sys
tems in New York State have volun
tarily lowered their rates, and any
further adjustments that may seem de
sirable can dobutless be effected
through arrangements with the rail
road commissioners But what a grist
of special labor has been accumulated
by all this legislation for the supreme
court of the United States.

DANVILLE COOK
IN COLLEGE ROW
The following <*rto;e which appear
ed in the Philadelphia North Ameri
can uu Monday refers to E lward Kein
er, the well kuown ciief, whose home
is in thi.- city :
COLLEGEVILLE, Sept. 1.
There has been ahe »ted contest at
Ursiiiii> college this summer between
the profe>sors of the summer school
find the college cook, and the profes
sors have come ott victorious.
Urisuu-; college has au expert cook,
who receives a salary eqnul to that
paid to some of the professors. In fact
he stands ~o high in his profession
that 1.0 culls himsielf a chef. Realizing
that a college, like the average in
dividual, will put up with many in
conveniences in order to keep a good
cook, the chef, it is asserted, has late
ly been treating the professors in a
manner that indicated that he thought
they were very small potatoes.
This summer some of the college
buildings have been used to accoum
modate summer boarders, under the
supervision of the olief, while in an
other part of the buildings the regular
Ursinus summer school has been con
duced.
It is declared that the cook compel
led some of the professors to vacate
their regular quarters and give them
up to summer boarders, who paid
fancy prices; and, further, that he has
made a systematic practice of setting
apart the best of everything in the
way of eatables for the boarders, while
members of the faculty were compell
ed to subsist on the "leavings," and
often these were not plentiful. Manv
of the students and alumni of the col
lege who happened in town this sum
mer have protested against the in
dignities to which various parts of the
campus and buildings, sacred to all
sons of Ursinus, have been subjected
by the boarders.
Complaints to the cook were in
effectual, and finally the members of
the faculty held a meeting and drew
up a "round robin" addressed to the
board of directors rehearsing the in
dignities to which they were subject
and demanding a redressal of their
grievances.
Some of the professors went so far
as to declare that unless the cook was
squelched they would look for posi
tions elsewhere.
When the hoard received the faculty's
statement, at a recent meeting, sever
al members at first thought it a huge
joke, but the seriousness of the situa
tion and the possibility of a strike
among the professors were soon made
apparent. They appointed a committee
to investigate the various charges of
derelictions upon the part of the pook,
and finally decided to abolish the sum
mer hoarding house altogether and to
use all the buildings and grounds for
a first-class summer school in the fu
ture.
