Governor Hughes In his address at Lake George in speaking about politicians, said: "Never mind if you are called a politician, tho word is not dishonorable. Go into It for what you put into it, and not what you think you can get out of it. To be an American citizen, with honest purposes and high resolves is to have the richest privilege on earth." Simmered down a little more It means, "Hoys, your business Is all right If you will stop graft ing." We note that ox-CongrtMsman, C. F. Wright. Is the prime mover before the Public Service Commis sion of New York State for permis sion to establish a Public Service Corporation at Port .lervis. having for Its object the furnishing of Light, Power, Trolley Service and other adjuncts necessary to a city's growth and development. Port Jer vis is to be congratulated on hav ing a man of Mr. Wright's standing interested in this movement for no one stands higher than he does for doing things rght and giving every one a sqimre deal. He is a man who wears well in any community. THE VACANT JUDGESHIP. We did not publish the picture of the possible next Judge of Wayne county for the reason that we have not a picture of every member of the Wayne County Bar. Each mem ber of our bar, has no doubt a very strong argument to prove that he would fill the position to the entire satisfaction of at least one promi nent person of our community, and to the perfect delight of at least one family and many of the rela tives of that family. One thing we admire about our lawyers is, the extreme solicitatude they have for the interests and ruture welfare of each other and especially for the man who will have to bear the heavy burden of having this appointment conferred upon him, as they all unite in saying that an appointee in a case of tills kind, always has failed to receive the nomination or to be elected to succeed himself, and con sequently almost every ono practic ing at this bar is willing to take tho curse off tho other fellow by ac cepting the appointment. When we called the attention of one of our legal luminaries to the fact that the Hon. Ralph Little, of Susquehanna county, accepted the appointment of Judge to fill a vacancy caused by death, receiving the appointment on Friday, tho thirteenth day of the month, shortly after walking under a ladder on his way to be the thirteenth guest at a dinner giv en by tho " cross eyed " men of Susquehanna who never won a bet, and was afterwards elected to suc ceed himself by a large majority, the aforesaid legal luminary re plied, that "it was irrevelant, Im material and Incompetent" and should be stricken from the rec ords.

Hoard Speeches at Court House After the parade there was a large assemblage of people who gathered at the court house to listen to form er Mayor Dinunick of Scranton. Mr. Dimmick gao his talk upon the re miniscences of the town. He said in part: "I have never seen a more beautiful picture in Honesdale than the splendid parade which speaks words of praise for your civic pride and civic enthusiasm. I will paint one picture of the past a story of tho men, women and children who developed this fair town." Mr. Dimmick then gave a personal re mlnscenco of tho town as he re membered It, telling about old Cen tral Park with its heavy hay crop, absence of paths and fountain, an occasional person passing through it and of tho Dam brothers; of his visits with Father Doherty, referred to Judge Waller's sparkling team and Hon. W. M. Dimmick's Jersey black and white team; referred to the Honesdale National Bank when it was the only bank in this section of the country and had a monopoly of it. Out of the loins of that bank Jumped tho mighty vigorous com petitorthe Wayne County Savings Bank. Associated with this bank In my estimation wns ono whom you havo recently laid to rest, and in my Judgment ho was not only the salt, but saints of the earth, Horace C. Hand. .Mr. Dimmick spoke of the recent discoveries and referred to his trip about a year ago, while receiving a message from home while out 700 miles on tho water Put your streets in good condition, have everyone as clean as your side walks. This will add dollars and cents to the square foot of real es tate in your borough. Rochester Is noted for its flowers." (Applause).

We have no short-memoried men on our role. We do not be lieve we have any ungrateful men, but wo do know that deep down in the hearts of the men of Protection No. 3, and engraven upon the tablets of their memory is the recollection of the magnificent reception, bounte ous entertainments, and gorgeous care which you bestowed upon ua when we visited your cities, and we wish to state right here, that these days are red-letter days in the his tory or Protection No. 3, and wo bid you not only welcome to our borough, but wo bid you welcome to our homes, nnd to our hearts.

Again, bidding you welcome, and hoping that this visit will solidify, and make stronger the love and at tachment that wo bear for ono an other as firemen. Mayor Kuhbnch, being introduced, made a short address and conclud ed by saying In the words of tho poet, "The town Is yours." Tho Knights of Columbus won repeated applause all along the line of parade for their excellently de signed and magnificently decorated lloat In the Chic Parade, and by many It was considered one of tho best In line. Every lloat and every organization deserved the plaudits of the sightseers which was so gen erously given. It was universally remarked by strangers and many home comers that Ilonesdalo Is a larger and more up-to-date town than they had any Idea of. Tho im pressions carried away by the thous ands who were with us will be of great help In the future development of our borough. Ono lady from the vicinity of New York City, who wit nessed tho play at tho Lyric and who had taken In the civic and firemen's parade, also the frolic dur ing tho evenings on our streets, said this conies near being like a small size New Y'ork than any place she had ever visited.

She flatly refused to comment on Dr. Cook's statements. She appears to realize tho seriousness of tho present situation between her husband and Dr. Cook nnd does not want to mix In the controversy. With a trunk nnd two suit cases Mrs. Peary, Marie, her sixteen-year-old daughter, nnd the lively flaxen haired lad Robert junior boarded a steam launch at Eaglo Island. But one steam boat captain recognized the wife of the mail whose name luu tieoii spread broadcast over the civilized world. He saluted the launch and waved a hearty wodby to tho family. Little Robert Peary takes a big American ling which ho will present to his father. LONDON PAPERS SEVERE. They Chargo Dr. Cook With Attempt ing an Imposture. London, Sept. !. The direct chal lenge to Dr. Cook's story that he reached the north pole April 21, 190S, issued by Commander Peury has given n marked impetus to the tendency in scientific us well as popular circles to regard the claims of Dr. Cook with more than suspicion. "This dramatic message from Com mander Penry," says the Standard, "throws down In the most emphatic niaunor the fabric of Imposture built up so elaborately by Dr. Cook." Tho Pull Mall Gazette remarks: "So far as Peary Is concerned there Is no question whatever of the accuracy of his statements. Tho veteran explorer's word is believed. Dr. Cook has not supported his story with proof." The Dally Chronicle flatly charges Dr. Cook "with having fabricated all tho statements with which he sup ported liis chilli) to have reached the north polo" and adds, "We charge him with attempting an imposture upon the world and with the knowledge that he could not long sustain the pre tense " kdwin k.toi;ki:y cAsiuri:.
