The Harrisburg authorities are finding some of the counties and townships rather slow In paying their share of the road improvement cost. The State builds the roads and pays all the money in the first instance, but under the law the counties and townships are required to reimburse the State in a certain per cent, within thirty days after the road is completed. It is stated that the delinquency now amounts to about $500,000, which the State is going to collect if it can. So far as we know no complaint Is made as to Wayne county or the townships in which road improvements have been made. The postal savings bank bill is con fronted with a thorny path in this and the next Congress. Though it is a meas ure advocated in the Republican plat form, there are indications that senti ment has changed on the subject. The monetary commission investigated con ditions abroad, and its members aro now on record as being against the govern ment engaging in the banking business. The National Bankers' Association is strongly against the proposition, and it is claimed It would prove an expensive department for the government to main tain, costing far more than any possible revenue which could be derived from it One of the most significant develop ments in the last ten years has been the adoption of pension plans by more than seventy great corporations. This is one of the most tangible ways in which wage earners have profited from the recent in dustrial prosperity. In 1898 the pension idea was practically foreign to this conn try : now it is very much in the air. In that year only one railroad, the Haiti more & Ohio, systematically granted re tirement allowances ; since 1808, eigh teen lines, representing one-third of the railway mileage of this country, have adopted automatic pension schemes. Ten years ago almost none of America's great industrial corporations regularly made provision for their old men j now the largest do so, or have at present plans under way to that end. Dr. J. O. Kaldfus deprecates the use of high power guns by hunters andclalms that the result of the fall hunting season shows that he is right. He says: "I am in receipt of numerous complaints con' cerning dangers arising from the use of the high" power guns, the orguments be ing that because of thick undergrowth in Pennsylvania the hunter is often not able to see game or secure a shot at a greater distance than that at which black powder would be effective, and that, therefore, the use of high power is un necessary. While we have been to an extent relieved of danger to human life through the passage of the law compel! ing deer hunters to look before they shoot, there is still serious danger threatened by the use of this gun, and it should be pro hibited in Pennsylvania. "The Way of the Transgressor Is Hard." During the past week the above fact has been driven home into the hearts of some very prominent people who now wish that they had not taken the risk of wrong-doing which invariably leads to disaster. The ex-Pennsylvania State officials who were convicted of graft in connec tion with furnishing the new Capitol have been sentenced to two years -im pnsonment and to pay a fine of $500 together with the costs of prosecution and now, Samuel Gompers, John Mitch en ana jfranic Morrison, famous as labor leaders, have been sentenced to serve terms respectively of one year, nine months and six months, for con tempi oi court, rnis latter case was peculiar in its aspect as it virtually be came a question as to which was the greater, the United States government or the American Federation of Labor and Mr. Gompers, by his arbitrary and domineering methods has not only land' ed Messrs. Mitchell and Morrison prison, but has placed the whole Fed' eration, which numbers among its mem' bers many of the best citizens and work ingmen of the country, into, according to Justice Wright of the Supreme Court the attitude of "public enemies." The specific offense of Mr. Gompers and the other defendants, was a refusal to obey an injunction issued by Justico Gould and of this charge, Justice Wright says "Before the injunction was wanted these men announced that neither they nor the American Federation of Labor would obey it, and not only has the law failed in its effort to arrest a widespread wrong, but the iniury has grown more destructive since the injunction than it was before. "There (s a studied, determined, de fiant conflict precipitated in the light of open day, between the decrees of a trib unal ordained by the government of the Federal Union, and of the tribunals of another Federation, grown up In the land; one or the other must succumb, for those who would unlaw the land are public enemies."

THE DIMMICK BOOM. , Ben Dlmmlck's Private Secre tary Kabatchnlck Speaks Right Out Why Our Former Towns man Soould be Knox's Suc cessor. Myer Kabatchnlck, private Secretary of our former townsman, now Mayor of Scranton, J. Ben. Dimmick, has been visiting the City of Brotherly Love, and reading the riot act as to Mr. Dim mick's claims to the United States Sena torship, made vacant by the promotion of Senator Knox to a cabinet position. Ho says of Mr. Dimmick : "He has civen to Scranton a business administration that has made our city noted among municipalities of the union. Upon the foundation of honesty and great natural ability, he has added cul ture and the study of governmental af fairs so that in our estimation he stands head and shoulders above any man who has been suggested as Senator Knox's successor. Suchinfluential papers as the Wilkes- Barre Record and all the Scranton pa pers, irrespective of party, have declar ed in his favor before the movement for him was fairly under way. In fact, it cannot be said to be under way even now. "Just what will be done by the men who are urging his candidacy has not been decided but it will be aggressive and whole-souled ; of that there is no question. "Of course, the formal launching of his candidacy will probably be mado in Scranton, but it will immediately have a wider scope than our city limits. His nativo county woyne, ona our neign boring counties, Luzerne, Monroe, Sus quehanna, Wyoming, Carbon and Schuylkill will be Invited to go along. "This movement has dock oi it tno union of all elements in the party in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is in spiring because it has as its candidate a clean upright citizen of towering ability. He will De a senator oi wnoin rennsyi vnnia mav be m-oud. one who is thor oughly In accord with the Taft character 1 1 1 . m i 1 ! tlliu me Aim, puiiuiea. "We of the northeast have never had a United States senator to represent us, Wo have up there the only anthracite region in the world and a great manu facturing territory. It is time there should come representation for these elements. We feel that the western part of the state will be ably represented by the presence in the cabinet ot Mr. Knox and that should satisfy it. "We mean business, rue men who are back of Mayor Dimmick are of the type that will fight harder against op position." We can't quite agree with the Al- toona Tribune in its idea that education is "a drawing out" instead of a "pour ing in." Of course everything depends upon what the Tribune's definition of "education" is. Webster gives us as one of the meanings of the word, "to prepare and fit for any calling or bust ness by systematic instruction," and we well remember hearing Principal Reu ben Nelson, of good old Wyoming Sem inary memory, lay it down as a rule. that, "you can't get anything .out of your head that you don't put into it." But here is the Tribune's argument: "Some of the successful men of the day never had many advantages, either in the way of education or social sur roundings. But that is nothing against education. All the moral one can ex tract from such circumstances is that no system in the world will make a suc cessful man out of one who has no abil ity. It is quite sure that education is a drawing out, .not a pouring in. You cannot teach a man anything who lacks the capacity. On the other hand, it is very difficult to keep down one who has the root of the matter in him. If he have native intelligence he will get the education somehow. " OBITUARY. William V. Dolph, a brother of John N. Dolph, formerly principal of the Honesdale Schools, now Superintendent of the Port Jervis Schools, died at his home in Montour Falls, Schuylkill Co N. Y., Tuesday morning, Dec. 22, 1908, after a protracted illness, in the 72d year of his age. Mr. Dolph had been postmaster of Montour Falls for eight years, and County Justice of Sessions for many years. He visited Honesdale on two or three occasions while Prof, Dolph was located here. "Paid In Full." Walter P. Eaton, tho well known writer on the New York Morning Sun, says of Eugene Walter's play, "Paid in Full," which has been the dramatic sensation of both Chicago and New York, playing for five months in tho for mer city and now being in its second year in the eastern metropolis: "Not since the watcher sat silent up on a chair in the Princess Theatre two years ago, and saw 'The Great Divide swim into his ken, has the weary yet hopeful theatregoer experienced that thrill of discovery felt by everybody at the Astor Theatre last evening, '"Paid in Full' was the play j Eu gene Walter, the author. It is not quite his first play, but it is the first to reach Broadway, for reasons that are too saddening to discuss now. Hence for the audience last night there was joy in the discovery. Eugene Walter's future work will be awaited with interest and watched with attention. Ho has de cisively joined the too small band of in telligent playwrights. In telling his story Mr. Walter has em ployed successfully the devices of come dy, of racy speech, of modern real ism. The men who accepted and pro duced this drama are heartily to be con gratulated." "Paid In Full" will bo seen at the Lyric at an early date. The same com pany that is playing in Philadelphia this weak, will be en here, Hollatd's way of gettlni? nt Veir czuola with "a word and n blow" wat' tho regulation one. but with n gucrrll. la attachment.

It may comfort tho knlscr during his convalescence to reflect that all the world knows thr-ro aro ''jags" which do not como on by tho glassful. Boom In demand for recipes for get ting freckled was noted the instant somebody announced that kissing re moves freckles. After the kaiser and Tom Johnson' hove confessed to going broke on the eve of tho holidays the average man will have courage to put up a stronger bluff than ever. Of course Germany favors our ulti matum that China's door remain open, because therein lies the kaiser's only chance now to get nway from home occasionally. ' It U easier to find "a needle In a hay- stuck" than nn eligible In Uncle Sam's bunch who didn't know that It was leap year until too late. Managers of Poe centennial celebra tions will do something unique If they brln;; out an American man or woman who enjoyed even a common school education and never recited "The Ita- von" or "The Bells." The minister who recently doubled tho attendance at his church by dis play advertising In the newspapers evidently believes, with Wesley, that Satan shouldn't be given a monopoly of the best means for reaching the heart of the busy world. But the question has Ita practical side. People will consult the papers to find out what Is going on around them, and lie church that Is willing to challenge criticism by advertising may ho sup posed to offer something worth while. A Double Barreled Torpedo. One of our naval commanders has Invented n torpedo which may do more mischief to an enemy's battle ship than one of those "all big gun" Dreadnoughts we are launching. This new torpedo, shoots twice, so to speak that Is, It makes two holes Instead of one In the target. Theoretical ly the old torpedo would rip a hole In the side of a warship and let n wa ter enough to, sink her. As n rule. how'ever, torpedoed ships have kept afloat until the repair shop made them ns good as over. The shell of a big gun will do more diunago to a warship than any torpe do, provided It explodes Inside the vessel, say In the engine room or mag' azlne. But a Bhell may pass through a vessel, leaving only two small holes and n few wrecked things In Its wake. The torpedo which becomes the ex clusive property of the United State's becnuse an officer In servtco devised It, will smash a big hole In the armor where It strikes and at the same time project a shell carrying a fuse timed to explode it at any desired distance Inside. Unfortunately this govern inent cannot monopolize the genius of tho world, and If war comes to us the enemy may have somo contrivance that will sink a battleship as effectual ly as our double acting torpedo. Tho Year's Happenings Abroad, In tho old world the pessimist has been forced to swallow disappoint ment throughout 1008. England was nt one time believed to he facing an Irruption of socialism, but the minis try sidestepped the crisis by an old uge pension. In Persia the year open ed with a clash between the shah and parliament. After somo "shooting up' on both sides the masses sustained (he shah, who promised to be good. What appeared to bo a formidable revolution in Portugal led to the as sasslnatlon of the king and crown prince In February, but an appeal to the people, fouud the nation zealous in support of the old regime. A real re' belllon placed the pwtender, Mulal Hafld, on the throne of Morocco. Hav Ing gained his prestige as a fanatic and leader of fanatics, It was supposed that the presence of European police must be ended or a "holy war" for the extermination of foreigners would en sue. But the usurping ruler promptly guaranteed all the rights claimed by outsiders. When tho Turkish constitution of 1870 was restored In July the act was believed to bo a concession to reform ers which would spur them to four- thcr nggrcsslou. The most Important result was tho loss to Turkey of the vassal Balkan states of Bulgaria and Roumella and the nominally Turkish provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Whether Turkey will now be decent and the Balkans quiet are questions yet to bo, answered. Taking tho world over, there have been many situations which would have provoked war bad the so called fighting nations been ready for u scrap. That collision was avoided augurs well for peace, at least until some power feels strong enough to thrash one of Ita size. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE Whito Hills. Dec. 23d.

No one knows so well as the practl-1 cal farmer how rapidly n naturally fertile noil may bo exhausted by cult!- atlon. In this country tho tobacco lands of Virginia afford an example of this rapid decllno In fertility. Tho abandoned Now England farms, too, help to Illustrate tho effects produced by tho constant cultivation of tho same fields. Land that onco yielded crori as If by magic now requires nn artifi cial preparation beforo It will rewnrd the farmer for his strenuous labor In the field. Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng' llsh scientist, Is reported to have ex pressed his belief In the theory of tho poisoning of tho cultivated lands of the world. The advocates of this theo ry believe that tho systematic rotation of crops Is needless. They believe that It is Impossible to exhaust tho ground by a crop, as tho food supplies In tho soli nre too great to admit of such a result. Other causes, therefore, must underlie tho failure of a crop In what was onco fertile soil, and, according to the believers in tho theory, this fail ure Is due to root poisoning. Accord. Ing to the poisoning theory, n crop does not do so well when It Imme diately succeeds another of tho same sort beeouso It excretes an active poi son which Is destructive of Its own germs. Artificial manures nre recom mended uot so much as n fond for the plant ns n remedy against theso root poisons. t Very thorough investigations have, however, recently been carried out nt Rothamstcd, perhaps the most effi cient scientific farm In the world, which tend to show that ndherents of tho poisoning theory have not yet suc ceeded In fully proving their case. If this theory be true manures In the true sense will no longer be necessary, but something to destroy the poisons excreted by the plants will servo a more useful purpose. As tho root poi son is ndmltted to exist In small quan tities only, the treatmeut of land by any new process loosing to this end houlil be much cheaper than under tho present system of fertilization.
