Moses must have had a dreary old
time leading the children of Israel
forty years. Bryan has only led the
Democrats twelve years and he al
ready is as bald as a billard ball.
We want it always understood that
we are opposed to Socialism in any
form and in every style. Socialism
never built an empire, never did any
good and has always wanted to tear
down and destroy what other people
have tried to hold together.
Just to remind folks of things a
little in the past what was the price
that William J. Bryan said wheat
would sell at If Republicans held the
government and established the gold
standard?
The blessings a good wife brings
to a man are various and valuable.
Here is a man in New York who
was convicted of robbery and sen
tenced to imprisonment for not less
than twelve years and not more than
twenty, who is to be released after
a year's suspense, owing to the un
wearied efforts of his wife to collect
evidence showing that he is innocent
and that the woman upon whose
testimony he was convicted was a
perjurer. The man has been in the
Tombs all these months, awaiting a
decision of his case. Now he re
ceives his freedom and returns to
his faithful wife. If ho isn't so
grateful to her for the balance of
Ills days that not an angry word shall
be permitted to cross his lips to or
about her he should be sent up for
life. The world contains a great
many wives of that sort.
MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
It must be admitted that the ver
dict acquitting Henry Sprague of the
murder of Roger Greenwood, of
Nicholson, Pa., (the case being tried
at Tunkhannock, I'n last week) is
to say the least, remarkable. Be
cause all the four persons gathered
in the Sprague house were so drunk
that they were quarrelsome and ir
responsible, and that in the melee
one of their number was killed, does
not seem to relievo the murderer of
Ills guilt. The occasion was like
many in which someone is killed in
maudlin rage, but as a rule some
punishment is inflicted on the man
who has produced the tragedy. In
the present case the conditions were
especially degraded and offensive,
both husbands and wives engaging in
an orgy that might naturally be ex
pected to result in bloodshed.
If the drunken and dissolute who
persist in having guns around in con
venient location for bibulous guests
or for themselves to use, are to be
permitted to go unpunished, even un
reprimanded, the law fails miserably.
No theory of self defense, no plea or
excuse can condone such crimes.
What seems to be the need in this
case is to bring in a verdict of man
slaughter on all three of the surviv
ors of the disgraceful affair. Doubt
less the fairly good character of
Sprague seems to have borne, in
fluenced the jury, but some punish
ment is deserved not only by the
man In the case but by the women
who according to the testimony fol
lowed carefully the example of their
mother Eve.
LA FOLLETTEE MAKES A
"BREAK."
When the Senate in its great act
of making a juggling performance
look like a surgical operation, came
to the lead schedule in the tariff
bill, a most perplexing thing hap
pened. Senator La Follette refused
Jo vote on the ground that he own
,ed Etock In lead mines in Wisconsin.
i,fo didn't think it was right, he
said, to vote on a question In which
he was financially interested. He
thinks one should not let one's vot
ing hand know what one's coupon
hand dneth.
If you have ever made a bad
"break" in a large room full of peo
ple you can Imagine the embarass
ing silence which followed the speech
of the Wisconsin Senator. Senators
Steel, Lumber and Railroads Bhlfted
uneasily in their seats and Senator
Oil was visibly embarassed. By
common consent everybody stared
hard at the vacant seat of lead-Senator
Guggenheim and thus the situ
ation was saved.
Senator La Follette's speeches
are not distinguished for their tact
fulness but there are those who say
that they love him most for the
"breaks" be has made.
A HAS KEEN.
Unless we miss our guess Bryan
Is a sinking star. If you will scan
the papers' you don't see much. Thnt
Nebraska whiskey business has about
proven his finish in the West, and
Texas, we insist is not big enough
for Joe Bailey and Bill Bryan at
one time.
Mr. Roosevelt Is still shooting a
few dozen before breakfast. Walt
until he comes home. He must take
the Bkins of the animals' he has kill
ed and make a tent and hold a re
ception. A million people will visit
him and drop a dollar in the box.
The proceeds can go to charity and
then look out for the people In wild
acclaim at the next National Con
vention. But Taft will succeed
himself, no matter how many ad
mirers Teddy the Hunter may have.
WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT?
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, who served
for many years as one of Texas's
representatives in the United States
Senate and the lower house of Con
gress and was the author of the
Mills tariff bill, has lost faith in the
Democratic party. In a letter writ
ten to a political friend in San An
tonio Mr. Mills says:
"The present exhibition which is
being made in the United States
Senate by Senators calling them
selves Democrats, and assuming to
read out of the party as those who
do not bear the mark of their ap
proval, is shameful. In fact, it is
a very difficult matter in these de
generate later days for a real Dem
ocrat of the old school and one who
had confidence and belonged to the
party for the sake of the principles
which it represented, to have any
idea at all as to what a Democrat
is.
"The party as now represented at
Washington might as well pass out
of existence, for it has survived its
usefulness, and only serves now to
make a humiliating spectacle to
make honest Democrats hang their
heads in shame. I believe that men
who think like we do would rather
see the party die than to see it
further prostituted to serve the
uses of the base men who now seem
to control it."
So the question still remains un
answered. The best of old-time
Democrats are unable to define the
term for the present day. Any
Democrat, considering the questions
of to-day and the leaders of his par
ty, may well ask himself, "Where
am I at?"
HAS NO MONOPOLY ON VIRTUE.
When Senator McCumber not long
ago gave Tillman a deserved verbal
slap, he uttered a great truth and
one that needs discussing at some
length. Among other things Mc
Cumber said:
"The Senator from South Caro
lina should get over the idea that
he is the only Simon Pure, unadul-
! torated, honest man in th4 world,"
and furthermore there are
others. The Lord didn't put all the
honesty in the world in the hide of
the Senator from South Carolina."
There is much meat around the
bone herewith. Senator Tillman
and Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst and
! Mr. Watson and Mr. Gompers each
one belonging to a different school,
I Imagines that he is the only one
! on earth. These fellows somehow
' seem to teel that they alone are
honest; that they alone have dis
covered what ails the people; that
they alone are of the Lord's chosen,
and they go about insulting and
slandering their betters because
their betters believe in equal rights
to all.
Tillman is honest in what he
does. His vision is limited. A corn
field lawyer, in fact, ho is not a
man who has broad views. What
he knows he gathered after man
hood; he read books and the books
he read poisoned his mind. We
have never doubted Tillman's sin
cerity, but we doubt his ability. We
do doubt Bryan's sincerity. His
conscience and his pocket book are
too close together. Hearst is sen
sational and wants to sell newspa
pers. Watson is an egotist and
wants to be heard, that being shown
when he stated he was willing to
work for Colonel Mann of doubtful
character, for seventy-five dollars a
week, or some such sum and not
draw any salary. Gompers is the
limit of egotism and small-bore
statesmanship.
These fellows yell in the wilder
ness; they inflame thoughtless peo
ple and go about the country pro
claiming their honesty and indicting
every man who fails to agree with
them.
What McCumber said certainly
contained much food for thought; is
was what might be called a sky
rocket right.
When these cheap statesmen are
called down; when men of learning;
education and ability make up their
mind to call them hard, we will see
something different. The United
States Senate is not filed with
rogues as Tillman would have us
believe. Money is not ruining the
country as Bryan proclaims. The
world is better than it used to be,
and is hourly growing better. But
these blatherskites of national re
nown would poison all men; they
would Mil the minds of people with
bitterness and when analyzed and
the motive sought It is alone for
their own glorification and what
money may be indirectly coming from
It. None of them is a patriot. Each
one Is hogging the game and seek
ing, by the most disreputable and
unprofessional tactics to boost him
self further in the limelight. Mc
Cumber did well when he called
Tillman. I
It is up to Billy Bryan to now go
into some dense jungle and go to
killing animals never seen by Roose
velt. If he doesn't do it he is lost.
If he thinks that one little orphan
jackass will save the day he is very
much mistaken.
SENATORIAL CONTEST
IN NEAR FUTURE
Stirring Contests for United States
Scnutorshlps will be Held.
Between now and March 3, 11)11,
stirring contests for United States
Senatorships will be held in many
states. The terms of thirty mem
bers of the senate will expire on
that date, and among them are some
of the most influential members of
that body, on the Democratic side
as well as on the Republican.
Ohio and Indiana promise to fur-
nish the liveliest fights and added way at the home of his son, Burton
interest will be given the contest in Faatz, on Thursday evening. De
the Buckeye state if ex-Senator i ceased was sixty-eight years of age.
Foraker decides to enter the lists!
against Senator Dick, who will be a
candidate for re-election. Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, is believed to
have a big contest on his hands to
secure re-election. Former Sena
tor Hemenwny is known to enter
tain a strong desire for Beverldge's
seat and there is also a possibility
that former Vice President Fair
banks may get into the contest.
Not the least interesting of the
senatorial contests that will be set
tled before March 3, 1911, will take
place in Connecticut. Things politi
cal in that state are already being
framed with a view to sending Sen
ator Morgan G. Bulkeley down to
defeat. Senator Bulkeley has been
the Republican boss of Connecticut
for many years, but within the past
few years a strong revolt has been
organized to bring about his down
fall. The anti-machine Republicans
have been gaining strength and the
senator undoubtedly will have a
hard fight to return to Washington.
Senator Hale, of Maine, the
"Father of the Senate," will be re-
turned. He has some opposition,
uui mis is expecieu 10 lacie away
ubiuiu Lilt; nines cumeu iui wie
election. The same may bo said of
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
who will finish thirty-one years of
continuous service in the senate
when his present term expires in
1911, and who undoubtedly will be
sent back for another six years.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
may find his re-election more diffi
cult than his colleagues of Maine
and Rhode Island. Until several
months ago it looked as though lie
would have smooth sailing, but
Representative Butler
Ames has
been going over the state with a
fine tooth comb in an effort to
groom men for the legislature who
will pledge themselves to vote
against Lodge.
Senator Depew, of New York, will
not bo returned to the Senate. It
is doubtful even if ho will consent
to be a candidate for re-election.
Xew York already is speculating on
the question of his successor. The
name of Mr. Roosevelt has been fre
quently mentioned in connection
with the senatorshlp, but those who
stand closest to the ex-president are
of the opinion that he will not en
gage in a fight for the honor.
Former Governor Frank Black,
Hon. Joseph II. Choate, Timothy
Woodruff and several others have
been mentioned.
Other Republican senators whose
terms will expire in 1911 are Clark,
of Wyoming; La Follette, of Wis
consin; bcott, ot West Virginia;
Piles, of Washington; Page, of Ver-
mont; Sutherland, of Utah; Oliver,
of Pennsylvania; McCumber, of
North Dakota; Kean, of Xew Jersey;
Nixon, of Nevada; Durkett, of No -
braska; Carter, of Montana; War -
ner, of Missouri; Clapp, of Minne-
sota; Burrows, of Michigan, and
Flint, of California.
On the Democratic side the sena -
tors whose terms will end March 3,
1911, are Daniel, of Virginia, who
is assured of re-election without op
position; Money, of Mississippi, who
will be succeeded by John Sharp
Williams; Culberson, of Texas, who
probably will be re-elected; Frazier,
of Tennessee; Talliaferro, of Flori
da, and Rayner, of Maryland,

CONFER-
Plans Made by Which Honesdale
District May be Merged Into
New Scranton District.
Representatives from the various
distrlcts of the Wyoming Methodist j Pend on him to keep them alto
Episcopal Conference, in session atieet"er, but he's so stuck on himself
Binghamton practically decided last
week to divide the Wyoming district,
making Scranton the center of the
other. To do this it will be neces
sary to add two of the other districts
to the new districts, thus reducing
the number of districts to four.
Bishop David H. Moore, who pre
sided at the recent Wyoming confer
ence, illled tho chair. The recom
mendations of the representatives
will be fiubmltted to the Wyoming
Conference to be held at Binghamton
next year.
There is a probability that the
delegates will decide upon advising
that tho Binghamton dstrict be di
vided. This has been talked ot for
some time. Other recommendations
will also be discussed one looking
to entirely doing away with the
Owego district.

SUIT AGAINST ERIK R.R
The equity suit of A. G. Holllster,
of Hollisterville, against the Erie R.
R. Co., is being heard in the Superior
Court room, Scranton, before Judge
Edwards.
Mr. Holllster is seeking to restrain
the company from taking water from
the Wallen-Paupack stream for the
tanks at Saco and Winimors, and
living witnout any a good part
f the tlme t0 run hIs srlst mill

As a lower riparian owner he is
practically put out of business, he
claims, as the pumps are always
busy, and the rest of the stream gen

a freshet or slathers of rain.
THE MAIL ORDER CITIZEN'.
Governor Folk is from Missouri.
He's regarded as a pretty good citi
zen himself. See what he says about
a certain sort of citizen. " I do not
believe in the mail order citizen. It
is better that we should have a
thousand towns than one large city.
If a place is good enough for a man
to make his money in, it certainly
should be good enough for him to
spend Ills money in. The merchants
have a just right to all the business
of the town In which they have their
stores and every good citizen will
! help them to get it." Did you ever
' sue a fine large fact so simply stated?
j
i uirn nv vnr
! which aiu.
, A lecturer, riding down one or the
rough mountain roads of Kentucky
; observed a farmer ploughing the
', rugged hillside with four oxen to
1 which he was shouting voclferlously:
j "H1 thar! You Methodld Baptis'
Campbelllte Presbyterian g'land
thar."
Much astonished, he called the
mountaineer to the fence and in
quired: "Why do you call your oxen
by such peculiar names?"
"Why stranger," said the mount
aineer, "them was the littenist names
I c'd get. This y'r Methods' noW is
I a good critter an' a willin worker,
out ever onot in a whUe he hag tQ
Jump up an' down an' bawl. That
are Baptis' is a pow'ful strong beast
but whenever he comes to a pool of
water he wants to lay down in it
That are Campbelllte is an a nunv
ber one feller an' does an hones' days
work, but he's the most stubborn,
anu contrariest critter, that ever
I "ved. An' this Presbyterian he's
I the best one of the hull lot. I de-
that all the rest Jest naturally de-
splse him." Exchange
We have been taught there are
three cardinal virtues, faith, hope,
and charity, and of these we are
taught that the greatest Is charity.'
And as we are further taught charity
begins at home, and wo could never
work ourselves up to the point of
throwing holy fits at some fellow,
wanting to send the money of his
neighbors to China, Japan, Africa, or
some foreign country, to feed, clothe,
and educate a gang of heathen, when
he could find all around him hund
reds of thousands of men, women
and children of his own nationality,
uneducated, hungry and homeless.
