PliEASE STOP MY
One of the effects of the late panic has
been to spread a spirit of retrenchment
over the country, until it has reached
almost every one. Economize and cut
down expenses, has become the order of
the day. The result is, letters contain
ing the above sentence have been swell
ing Uncle Sam's mail, while the phone
has been used to convey this message to
many concerns, and some people have
gone personally to business places and
said: "Times are hard, I must econo
mize ; please stop my " Whiskey ?
"Oh, no I times are not hard enough for
that ; but something else costs me a large
amount every, year, which I must save.
Please stop my " Ribbons, trinkets?
"No I Nol Please stop my " Tobacco,
cigars, etc.?" Not on your life. "Please
stoumv " Ten. coffee, etc.? No! Not
these. I must think of something else
Ahl I have itl My county pnper costs
me nearly one nnd a half cents each is
sue. Please stop my paper. That will
carry me through the hard times 1"
Reader, your paper is one of the most
valuable assets you have, if you place
any value on the knowledge you are
storing up for future use. It is worth
more than vou are paying for it 1
Harrlsburg Letter.
Jan. 9th. Senator Penrose had no
difficulty in securing the nomination to
succeed himself as U. S. Senator for six
years'from March 4th next, his vote far
outnumbering that given for his only
opponent, who, by the way, was given
but 23 votes in the caucus. The Senator
will be re-elected when the Legislature
convenes again during the week be
ginning Jan. 18th. It is about settled
that George Z. Oliver, of Alleghany
county, will succeed Senator Knox,
though the latter is not expected to re
sign for some weeks yet. So far there
is no real opponent in sight, unless Mr.
Sheatz should conclude to enter the race
again.
Hon. Jon F. Cox won out easily over
Hon. Frank McClain for Speaker, the
vote in the caucus standing 130 to 33
McOlain remained a candidate to the
last, even though it was apparent to
him, as to every oneelse, that there was
no hope of his election. So. far Phila'
delphia and Pittsburg have scored in
securing plums, but the country mem
bers do not seem disturbed about it.
Copies of a bill to pension soldiers and
sailors who served in the late unpleas
antness from Pennsylvania were laid on
the desks of the members of the Legis
lature, as a reminder. Mention has
heretofore been made of its general
terms. There is no doubt but the G
A. R. will make a vigorous and deter
mined effort to get a pension bill through
this session, and get the Governor to
sign it, but unless some revenue produC'
ingbill is sentalong with it, it will prob
ably meet the same fate as the one of
1907. So many demands are being
made for appropriations that legislators
are seriouBly considering some new
schemes for. taxation to supply the de
mands, and bills will soon make their
appearance.
Chief among them will be a tax on
capital engaged in manufacturing. Since
1885 the State has exempted from the
five mill tax all capital engaged exclu'
sively in manufacturing in Pennsylvania,
the object being to foster and encourage
manufacturing -m this State. Com
nlaints are made by other classes of
corporations that discrimination is made
but the Courts have .sustained the law
Thirty years of exemption and protec
tlon have made this State the foremost
in manufacturing, although its water
powers, coal mines, proximity to mark
ets and the coast, and plenty of labor.
have assisted in - bringing about-that re
milt more than exemption from tax. It
is now urged that manufacturers should
be willing to bear their proportion of the
heavy burden of taxation, while they are
in full enjoyment of all possible oenents
There will be a hoi fight from the start
off against any tax large or small, and
it is difficult to say whether a bill can be
cotten through to the Governor.
Another bill will provide for the tax
atlon ot gross receipts of gas companies
Under the present law electric light
companies pay a lax of eight mills on
their cross receipts as well as a tax of
five mills on the value of their capital
stock, while gas companies, engaged in
practically -the same kind of business
are exempt by law from both of these
taxes. It don't seem quite fair and the
Legislature will be asked to equalize it,
The big gas companies are liable to hurt
this bill if it is poseible.
A tonnage tax on coal both anthra'
cite and bituminous, is in sight, as well
as a tax on all oil taken from the ground
in Pennsylvania. Better late than never,
but a lot of money might have been se
cured to tlfe State' from this eourco in
the past few years. A proposal to tax
coal will cause George F. Baer to sit up
and talc notice, nnd Mr. Rockefeller or
some other big Standard Oil man will j
light on to the bill to tax oil. . 1
No scheme of taxation is popular, and
often very muchthe reverse, but the
State must, IftitA keeps up increasing its
appropriations, look around for new
sources of revenue, and as well fight-to
keep what tax laws it has on its books.
The last published statement of the
Treasury shows considerably less than
six million dollars in the general fund,
the lowest it has been for a long time,
and lots of bills to pay.
The death of ex-State Treasurer Wm.
L. Mathucs removes him from the jur
isdiction of earthly courts. When the
four defendants were here for sentence
a few weeks ago, the condition of San
derson was noticeable and it was gener
ally supposed he could not live long.
Within a few days he has sailed for
Europe for an indefinite stay, though he
will necessarily be on hand when his
case is concluded. Mr. Shumaker has
improved somewhat since his first trial,
though far from being a well man, and
Senator Snyder seems to show the effects
of the trial the least. There will be
nothing done by the Superior Court un
til March, and a new trial is scheduled
for April.
Governor Stuart's Message to the Leg
islature is highly spoken of everywhere
ns one of the most business-like State
papers that body ever received. It con
tained no frills or flourishes but lots of
facts.
Among others that came to see the
Legislature get properly started was Col
Charles C. Pratt, Congressman-elect
from New Milford. The Colonel was in
the best possible humor, renewing old
acquaintances, for he is no stranger
here, and making some new ones. He
is expecting to go to Washington later
on in the month and look Congress over
before being seated. After March 4th,
it will be Congressman Pratt, and the
14th district will never have cause to
blush for their Representative. He will
serve them so well that they will want
to return him as his own successor.
The Citizen says that Mr. Fuerth was
the caucus nominee of the Democratic
members for Speaker, while the Inde
pendent asserts that the honor was ac
corded to Mr. Creasy. It docs not mat-
ber much about the. honor, but it would
be interesting to know which papers is
correct. N. E. Haitse.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The grand jury finished their work on
Wednesday, and after inspecting the
county buildings, they made the follow
ing recommendations :
Some of the bedding and furniture in
the iail need to be replaced : the interior
wan snouia oe wnite-wasnea, ana the
walls on the outside need repointinc
with mortar. In the Sheriff's house we
find that raising; the floor has torn loose
the plaster in many places, and that the
rooms need a general overhauling, and
many of them need repairing. The
woodwork of the kitchen sink needs to
be renewed. Portions of the floonne
need replacing. The outside cellar en
trance and the cellar window frames
need renewing. The bath tub is in bad
condition and should be replaced by a
new one. The wash house belonging to
the Sheriff's house needs repairs, and
there should be an eaves-trough on the
outside of the building. The foundation
of the Sheriff's dwelling needs report
ing, and the outside closet of the court
house should have eaves-troughs on the
west side. The vault attached to the
County Commissioners' office should be
Erovided with fire-proof furniture. There
eing no private office connected with
the District Attorney's room, we recom
mend that a portion of said room be
partitioned off for that purpose.
The jury found the following true bills :
Com. v. Tessie Slater, larceny. Com.
Frank Mills, assault and battery.
Josephine Mills, prosecutrix.
The following cases were discontinued

A Deserved Tribute te the Memory
of a Honesdale Resident of Long
Age.
The Pittston Gazette, in a well written
obituary notice of the late Thomas Craig,
of that city, thus refers to his younger
days when Wayne county was the scene
of his business activities. Mr. Craig, we
believe, was a brother of James Craig,
for many years a trusted employee in
the household of the late Judge Thomas
H. R. Tracy in the '50s :
Mr. Craig had been identified with
Pittston for more than half a century,
He came to this community 53 years aeo
and for over 40 years had been an active
flmirn in its commercial life. Until seven
years ago he was quite active.- At that i
time he had the misfortune to fall and
fracture his hip and though a sturdy con
stitution overcame the ailment that in
manyofhis age would have proved fatal,
yet the accident marked the end of his
participation in the thriving grocery
business ne naa duui up.
Mr. Craig was a native of county aiayo,
Ireland. He passed his youth in that
county, which has furnished Pittston
with so many ot its wormy citizens.
About 62 vears aeo he joined the ever
enlarging stream of young Irishmen who
were making America tneir goal ana, as
many who had preceded him had done,
he made his home first in Honesdale.
From that point he went to Hawley and
and lor some years operated a Doai on
the canal. Thence he came to Pittston
and entered the service of the Pennsylva
nia Coal Co. He worked earnestly tor
several vears and with the aid of his
irood wife, formerly Miss Ellen McCue,
whom hejiad married in Hawley, he
saved a sum of money with which he
embarked modestly in the grocery busi
ness two score vears aeo. Mr. uraig's
thrift and reputation for square dealing
caused his business to grow to large pro
portions and it is at present conducted
by his son Frank, at the original stand
corner of South Main and Pine streets.
As a citizen Mr. Craig commanded the
respect of the many hundred residents
with whom he became acquainted
through business dealings or socially
during his long term of residence here.
He was a man of upright principles and
won success from a business standpoint
by the constaut application of those
sturdy principles which are so generally
admired in me Dusinesa worm.
Mr. Craig's survivors are his widow
one son, Frank, two daughters, Ella ant
The rural telephone has become of In-
estimable value to the farmer through
its almost universal use ; it has indeed
become almost, indispensable and has
made farm life worth living. The ser
vice as usually rendered has, however,
several disadvantages when compared
with telephone service as given in the
cities, the mOBt annoying feature' being
the almost continuous ringing of bells
where ten or twelve or moro parties are
on the same line; as it requires about
that nnmber of subscribers to make a
rural line pay. .
All telephones on a rural, line as ordi
narily built, ring when any one sub
scriber is, called ; this compels all parties
on the lino to listen whether or not it is
their call. This publicity gives the other
subscribers an opportunity to listen '
to the conversation and causes endless
gossip nnd trouble along the line.
The Wayne County Telephone Co.
(Independent) which has Just completed
a new line from Waymart to Spangen
berg's, on the Belmont and Easton
Turnpike, starting at McNally's Hotel,
to connect with tho Waymart Exchange
of tho Consolidated Telephone Com
panies of Pennsylvania, has introduced
a new system which eliminates all of tho
bad features of the old line. The op
erator at the Waymart Exchange is
able, by the use of an ingenious switch
ing and lock-out device, to select any
one subscriber on the line, call him with
out ringing the bells of any of the other
subscribers, at the same time cutting all
the other telephone instruments out of
service, until the party selected no longer
wishes to use the line. This not only
prevents all "rubbering" or "listening
in," but the subscriber also knows that
when his telephone rings, it is intended
for hiin only and not for the other sub
scribers. The subscribers on the new South
Canaan line, who have had the old
"open ringing" service of the old com
pany, are enthusiastic over the secret
service which they are now receiving
from the new company; in consequence
several more subscribers have recently
contracted for service.
Local Supt. C. S. Horton, of the Con
solidated Telephone Company, at Hones
dale, has had charge of building and
equipping the new line, which consti
tutes a valuable addition to the local
Exchange of that company.
Menneb 4 Co. will close out their
winter stock of Ladies' cloaks and. suits
at cut prices. 41ei7
