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. IIudson-Fulton Celebration.

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).

overwhelm you with words and ex
pressions that I know would con
vince you of our heartfelt apprecia
tion of your kindness in coming here
to-day, to help us make this cele
ration a success.
Tho word WELCOME is one of
the biggest and grandest words in
the English language, but it is not
half big enough to-day for the men
of Protection No. 3, to express their
love and esteem for the big-hearted
firemen of Port Jervis and Carbon
dale. 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

care which you bestowed upon ua
when we visited your cities, and we
wish to state right here, that these

you not only welcome to our
borough, but wo bid you welcome to
our homes, nnd to our hearts. Wo
also bid you welcome to the broad
grounds of the fraternal tlo that
binds us together as fellow firemen.
Wo are proud to bo associated
with a body of men who are ready
at the tap of tho bell to respond to
the help of those In distress. Wo
are proud of men who willingly sac
rifice health, and even life, In order
that they might preserve and save

and come up hero to help us as

Again, bidding you welcome, and
hoping that this visit will solidify,
and make stronger the love and at

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.

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 "
