A MISUSED WORD. What is populism anyway? A few weeks ago a New York paper denounced Governor Hughes' direct nomination bill as "a flower of the populisUc fancy." Speaker Cannon, aurii the attempt to revise the House rules referred scathingly to that movment as populistlc. A Southern Democrat, the other day, bitterly assailed William Jennings Bryan as a populist for his belief in Government ownership of railways. Do these uses of the word show pre cisely what populism is? Not at at all. Populism, whatever it is, or is not, has been abroad in the land for a long time. Railroad rate reg ulation was populistlc, insurance legislation was populistlc, and the Income tax law was a very bad case of It indeed. Whenever, in the name of profits, three or four gentlemen with bank accounts like lllrlfrlllln linllnnna nn,l faces like asphalt pavements gather together over frugal eighty-seven dollar dinners to protect against popular legislation, the word popu lism has a very busy evening. We think wo have the secret at last. Populism is not a political be lief, nor a religion, nor a disease, nor a breakfast food. It is an epithet. In tho progress of the country to ward a broader and deeper democ racy, men will propose laws for direct nominations, for initiative and referendum, for recall, for control and ownership of public utilities. If these proposals Interfere with your happiness or your plans, and argument is distasteful to your re fined nature, you need not despair. You can call these schemes populis tlc. There is always a chance that somewhere with some doddering, simple soul, that will pass as argument. The Supreme Court having, It is announced, declared the two-cent a mile bill unconstitutional, is is qute certain that the railroads af fected will return to the old-time tariff. That is hard for the traveler but it makes the railroad people chuckle. ANOTHER STEP AHEAD. A discovery which will bring great satisfaction to the timid who fear to be put in a condition they lose consciousness is reported in a tele gram to the State Department at Washington by the consul general at Bucharest, Roumanla. This is an anaesthetic, a combination of strychnine and storaln, discovered 1. n..Hnnn nf Tlllntinrnet O rwl mm ! the a icaUon of which the patient balance of ?748.50 on hand Re does not lose mental consciousness. I cevcI from J. J. Canivan, dog tax, It is injected in the spine for opera- tions below the waist and in the neck for operations above. Dr. Bannyryall, the consul general re ports, has taken some of anaesthetic to London. WAR ON THE CIGARETTE The legislature of the state of I Washington has just passed an act making It a misdemeanor for any person to smoke, have in his posses sion or offer for sale cigarettes in the state. The act provides for the arrest of any person who uses cigar ettes and the police authorities are Instructed to enforce the law .on all persons within the confines of the state, whether they be citizens or visitors. This means that visitors to the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc exposi tion will be prohibited from Indulg ing in the brain-wrecking cigarettes, which will serve to make the exposi tion a more pleasant place to visit than it would have otherwise been. Why does a state legislature enact a law of this kind? Not because it desires to prevent any person enjoy ing the pleasures of the life. Not because the legislature wishes to re strain the people in their liberties. Not because there is a desire to op- i press anybody. The act was passed j in the interest of the young men i nnd boys of the state whose mental end physical health is endangered j by the use of the cigarettes. Other states will in time nnd it to the au-1 to extend from Mr. Dunnigan's vantage of the public to prohibit ' property, down the west side of the use of cigarettes and these Vest street to the property of Emil menaces to the well-being of the,Gasg was received.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon, and Interment made in Glen Dy berry cemetery. Edward A. Ward, son of the late Rev. Ellas C. Ward and Emeline Farrer died at Newark New Jersey, on Sunday, July 4, 1909, very sud denly of heart trouble. He was about 60 years of age and was born in Bethany, educated at that place, and for many years was manager of a small store. He mar ried Alice, the daughter of the late Hon. A. B. Gammell and about at the ,.Bee H,ve ft department store in Newark, owned by W. V. Snyder & Co., and at the time of his death was head lloor-walker for that concern. His health has been falling for some years, but nothing serious was expected, although he had been confined to his home on several occasions. Death came suddenly and unexpectedly. He Is survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. Dr. Reed Burns, of Scranton. The funeral services were held at Newark on Tuesday, and the body brought to Honesdale on Wednes day afternoon at 2:13, thence to Bethany Presbyterian church where services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Swift, assisted by Rev. J. B. Cody. The body was interred at Bethany. Mr. Ward was a man respected by all who knew him and his friends in Newark and Wayne county were legion. Mrs. Henry F. Atherton died at her residence, North Main avenue, Providence, Monday afternoon, fol lowing several weeks of serious ill ness, surrounded by surviving chil dren. Mrs. Atherton was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Roe, of Honesdale, where on Nov. 4, 1839, she was born and where she spent the earlier years of her life. There she was married Oct. j 12, 1S04, to Henry F. Atherton, and immediately aiterward they took up their residence in this city. Mr. Atherton for many years and up to the time of his death was paymaster of the Pennsylvania di vision of the Delaware and Hudson company. Mrs. Atherton was an esteemed and useful member of the Providence Presbyterian church, and not only identified with the activities of the local church, but also having an intelligent and re sponsive thought for tho larger mission ol the Master s Kingdom in noma and loreign nonis. tier liana mid heart were always open in I kindly sympathy in behalf of tho I needy and poor.

At ihe last session of congress there was very close division on an im portant measure that was pendiug. A western member was lighting tho bill with all of tho vigor at his command, and his success depended absolutely mi liis presence at his post. A clever member of the opposition devised a scheme whereby the troublesome man tould be lured away. Accordingly on the morning of tho day the vote was to bo taken a telegram was sent to the hotel of the fighting member. It read: "Come home at once. Your wife Is dangerously 111." The congressman glanced at it, read It carefully two or three times and then started toward the capitol. Tho perpetrator of the scheme asked tho congressman what the telegram contained. He' showed It to him. "What!" gasped the Inquirer, "and In the face of that are you going to the capitol?" "I am," was the cool response. "But don't you feel worried about your wife?" "Not In the least," was tho rep'y. "Why?" asked the other "Because," replied this flphtini; mem ber, "I have no -.vl'p." In I9is. Farmer What's all that racket, Mandy?

It appears from two decisions late ly made by the Superior Court of this State that the owner of a horse has still some rights with regard to tho actions of other people tending to frighten the same. In other words, brass bands and automobiles, under these decisions, have to be handled with care. In the brass band case, the Court practically held that a brass band had no right to take Its stand at tho intersection of two streets, gather a crowd around it and play with their drums and horns in such a way as to frighten the horse of a man driv ing by at the time. In the case of the automobiles, the Court held that the operator o an automobile had no right to discharge from the same a volume of vapor with a hissing sound and strong odor in such a way as to frighten a horse standing near by. It looks as though the Court had commenced to take cognizance of these matters and to hold persons occupying the streets and making unusual noises frightening horses to a strict accountability for their acts and it would be wise for persons so offending against the public to take notice. That was a brave lady who was witnessing a baseball game and when the bats were all broken took off her wooden leg and handed it to her favorite and told him to take It and make a home run. When a female rooter is that Intense, to be sure it is the National Game and no mis take. THE TOWN THAT PUSH BUILT I.
