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

"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

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.

LAND POISONING.
Something Needed to Destroy Toxlo
Secretion of Roots.
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.
