Dun's Review for week ending
July 10 ells us that business is
improving. We are nil Bind, nnd
enn stand the shock nicely.
"Honest John" Rockefeller was,
on Thursday Inst, seventy years old.
Ho celebrated the occasion by Ills
dnlly game of golf. He snys, "I'm
Just ns young ns 1 us't to be." Dew
tell!
On Monday, by a vote of 317 to
14 the proposed amendment to the
United States Constitution, in regard
3p income tax, was approved as it
came from the Senate, and now goes
to the President for his signature.
President Taft and family are en
joying the country air at "the new
summer capltol," Beverly, Mass. So
also are his secret service men and a
horde of newspaper correspondents
penalties of his greatness.
Out in Iowa a person may even
"cuss" into his telephone nnd the
Supreme Court of that state has de
cided that the 'phone company can
not remove the instrument from his
domicile on that account. Iowa
evidently needs missionaries.
A Pittsburg woman assassinated a
polceman with a hat-pit, Just be
cause he was trying to lock her up
for over-indulgence in booze, and
the policeman will probably die from
his wounds. A drunken woman and
a hat pin is a bad combination to
mix up with.
Ex-President Roosevelt is, ac
cording to all accounts, still happily
engaged in taking the lives of
beasts and birds in Africa. He has
slaughtered lions, rhinoceroses and
much other smaller game and Is
now hankering for the blood of a
hippopotamus, which desire un
doubtedly will be gratified. Teddy
likes to kill things.
Among all the laws enacted by the
Illinois Legislature at this year's sit
ting at least two are commendable.
One provides that no lease for a flat
or apartments shall contain a clause
jarring children. The other, which
was pushed to enactment by organ
ized labor, provides that women and
children shall not be required to la
bor more than ten hours a day. If
the Legislature had done nothing but
pass these bills It would have done
well.
England Is changing her opinion
on the free trade question. Has
discovered that "British commerce
grew rapidly for other reasons than
that of free trade." Geo. N
Hooper, an officer of the London
Chamber of Commerce has changed
his views, as have many other
Englishmen. "Great Britain," he
says, "had a large commerce before
Cobden's days, and will make great
efforts to maintain Its present com
merce, "even If by so doing they
sacrifice cherished opinions on a
system that had long outlasted Its
vaunted benefits." Keep your eyes
on Uncle Sam, Johnny, and you
won't go far wrong in business
ideas.
Mr. Thomas A. Edison says that
he has at last completed his stor
age battery nnd there is no longer
any doubt of its practical utility.
He says a New York department
store delivery wagon equipped with
one of these batteries recently ran
rnr an enure nav. Air. ntfiaon Rain
ie could equip a truck with a bat
ery that would carry It In a short
ime from New York to Philndel
ihla. He had little doubt that his
nrention would do away with
lorses is the large cities.
rt-ftMairwa dtox inum ..
The tobacco user will now be
compelled to "raise the. ante" when
ho buys the "filthy weed." The
raiser will not be taxed for tobacco
"in hand."
Leon Ling, the Chinaman who Is
supposed to have murdered Elsie
Siegel, In New York, is being watch
ed for at every port on the Mediter
ranean coast, where the ship in
which he departed from Philadel
phia is liable to touch. Leon will
probably not Ling-er long when his
feet touch Chinese soil, if they ever
do, before he takes to the bush.
The people who predicted that
women did not want separate cars
on the elevated and subway roads,
are now claiming that their predic
tions are fulfilled. That the ladies
prefer the free-for-all cars. There
Is a reason for this state of affairs,
says a defender of the women, and
that Is that the exclusive cars were
placed upon the rear of all trains,
where they were difficult of access
and In more dnnger from rear-end
collisions. We had an Idea that
there was a "flaw in the Indictment,"
somewhere.
Antoinette Denoto, a pure, beau
tiful girl of New York, committed
suicide Thursday last because her
brother's wife, who disliked her,
circulated stories acalnst Antoin
ette's character. To prove that she
was blameless, the gfrl ended her,
life, leaving as a dying request a
note asking that her innocence be
proven after death. The Coroner
declares the girl was blameless.
Now If there is any law which will
punish this murderess, for she is
nothing less, it should be applied,
The fact that she "did not mean to"
,
cause the death of the blameless
young may is not an excuse lor tne I the 24th, by a special Delaware and He 13 a native and long time resl
result. There are too many cases I Hudson train, reaching there in ' (,ent of Carbondale, who has be-
of this kind which, while they may 1
not always result in the death of
the victim of slander, deserve pun-
ishment, none the less.
It is somewhat early to speculate
upon what the states will do in case
the resolution for the nmendment to
the Constitution is passed by Con-
Kress. First, the resolution is a I
concurrent resolution, which -must I
pass both houses of Congress. It
is only then that it can be submitted
to the legislatures of the various
states. Yet early as It is, Washing
ton is speculating on the possibility
or the resolution receiving the ap
proval of the legislatures of two
thirds of all the states, or thirty-five
of them. The disposition of Wash
ington is to believe that only twenty-seven
states can be surely count
ed for the amendment; that all of
the New England States with Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware
will be opposed, leaving ten states
in the doubtful column Alabama,
Florida, Illinois, California, Utah,
Louisiana, West Virginia, Ohio. New
York and Maryland. Were three of
the doubtful states to Join to nine
counted against the amendment it
would be lost.
Rev. Joseph Komorovsky, of
Scranton, a Slovak priest, who is
assisting in the forty-hours' devo
tion at SS. Cyril and Methodius
church, Blnghamton, in a recent
lecture severely criticized the meth
ods employed in checking the
spread of tubercolosis in the Amer
ican public schools. He inveighed
against some of the resolutions now
under consideration in, the conven
tion of the National Education as
sociation, at Denver, and during his
remarks he quoted parts of resolu
tions such as "No teacher with round
shoulders and a hacking cough
should be permitted in a school
room," and said that "too many
good teachers, who have intelli
gence, are thrown out . to avoid
spreading germs, in favor of dudes
and butterflies who make a bluff at
the real business of Instructing
children." Ho also objects to the
recommendation, "Give the physi
cal body Its education as you give
the brain its words nnd figures."
Says the "American reformers are
always leaving out the training of
the heart." We don't know but
that priest may be right in his Ideas,
but it occurs to us that "training
the hearts" of children after they
have died of tuberculosis would be
a rather an awkward Job. If he
doesn't like the American school
system which he so severely Jumps
upon, perhaps he knows where there
are "school systems" which please
him. If so, while we should sorely
grieve at his exodus, we could not
conscientiously rend his garments
by trying to hold him fast here, In
this benighted land.
. That game will be plentiful in
this state this fall and winter is the
opinion of Chief Game Protector
Kalbfus. Deer, bears, turkeys', au,d
pheasants are said to be numerous.
Mother earth had another violent
attack of the "shakes" Wednesday.
The regions most affected were In
the vicinity of St. Petersburg and
of Semitra, India. No great dam
age was occasioned but it scared the
America, England and Prance,
figuratively speaking, shook hands
at Tlconderoga last Tuesday the
scene of battles each with the other
in days gone by. The orators were
President Taft and Ambassadors
Bryce and Jusserand. "Peace" was
the theme.
In the State of Washington they
have a way of dealing with boy
cigarette smokers that would seem
to be effective. The offenders are
taken before a magistrate and dealt
with as the law provides. Pennsyl
vania has a law prehibitlng the sale
of cigarettes to boys of tender age,
yet it doesn't' seem to "prohibit" a
little bit.

Touched tho Wrong Button.
Thursday evening last at about 0
o'clock, tho "siren" which notifies
Honesdalo people whqn a Are has
broken out, wailed an alarm. Peo
ple anxiously inquired one of nn
other, but nobody seemed to be
"wise." It was finally ascertained
that the telephone office had anew
lady operator and that she had
Inadvertently punched a button
which she shouldn't. And then
business resumed its usual "hump."

Pa., consisting of 2240 acres, has
been purchased by a company of
Honesdale gentlemen. This proper

the Intention of the company to de
velop the latter for industrial purposes.
Outstripped Time.
A few mornings since, a boss
bricklayer who resides on Church
street was obliged to quit work on
account of the weather. He went
home, and, as nothing better at-
forded, undressed and went to bed.
He slept soundly all day until 5
p. m. when he arose, and thinning
mat was morning, ate his "break
last and started for the works.
The same morning he had agreed
to do a small Job of work for a
neighboring lady, and, as he emerge
ed from his domicile, she asked him
if he was ready for the Job. N"Sald
I d do it this evening," he answer
ed. "Well, isn't it evening now?"
was the query. He regarded her
curiously a moment, and then so
licltiously Inquired: "Don't you
feel well this morning, Mrs. Blank?"
"Of course I feel well," she retort
ed. "What's the matter with you?
This isn't morning, It's evening."
He shook his head sadly. Then she
whirled about, went into the house
and immediately flounced out again,
shoving the clock under his nose.
"Can you see that, yelled she,
pointing to the hour indicated.
"Course I can see that, but it
doesn't prove that you ain't batty,"
he sneered, and turning upon his
heel, proceeded to the works. What
j happened there is not a matter of
record, hut he did not come home

Quito a Difference.
There is a vast difference between
a house nnd home. The house is
but the building and furniture; the
outward shelter and gathering place
of the household. The home in
cludes the kindly family affection,
the thoughtful care and ready sym
pathy nnd mutual confidence and
trust of the members. A true home
breathes the atmosphere of love.
A child should be made to feel that
his home is indeed a home, the
happiest home in the world to
him, not merely an outward shel
ter and resting place, but a center
of enjoyment, sanctified and puri
fied by love, the thought and re
membrance of which shall be the
safeguard of his life as he goes
forth Into the world, giving strength
and proportion to his character.

White Mills Defeats Honesdalo.
The Honesdale team Journeyed
to White Mills on Sunday and was
defeated by the team of that place.
It was the first game of the season
for the locals and Hesling who was
in the box weakened In the seventh
Inning. He had the Millers at his
mercy until that fatal inning.
Brnder pitched the remainder of
the game but could not check his
opponents. The feature of the
game was Brader's home run drive
in the first inning. The local team
was strengthened by Monaghan and
Hazen of Carbondale, and Dyer of
Chester, the trio playing a good
game. Another game has been
arranged to be played in White
Mills on Sunday, July 25ui.
