FRIDAY, APRIL 15, HMO. Why Is It, n cnrolcss soven year old kill can drop a half burned match In an alley and burn up all the barns In n block, while nn ablo bodied man has to Use up a whole box of matches to get a wood (Ire started In n heat er that has draft enough to draw all the furniture up the stove pipe? Where Is the man so happy as the ono who applies himself to manual labor? Where Is the homo so happy as the one where each member of the household feels, at the close of the day, that they have performed some at least of the many duties de volving upon them? Thore may bo a clash some day between capital and labor. When this period comes, the hope is that honest labor, with the conquering tread of a hero, will trample beneath its heel the power that has to a considerable extent, made labor laborious. We are all laborers in our little town. The "big head" Is a popular way of expressing a common and very frequent ailment. It arises from various sources, but the real founda tion Is a lack of sense. A little mon ey develops It In some people; a few good clothes gives it to others; a little office, where a chance is given to exercise a little authority, is often the cause of It, while others get it having a little better job than their associates. The truth is no sensible person gets the "big head." The one who become stuck up and stiff necked from sources of any kind, are weak in the intellectual caliber. We like to work and we like to see others work, but we just arise to remark that when we get to be worth as much money as some we know, work with us will cease. We could never discover why men sixty and seventy years of age and worth from forty to one hundred thousand dollars should continue to toil from early until late and in all kinds of weather. We like to see men pro vide something for their family after they are gone, but the average boy is better off if not left too much prop erty. You who have labored your three score years should stop hard work, and enjoy life the few short years you have left to remain with us. What Honesdale neeas more than anything else, is MKX. Men who can muster up courage enough to get outside of their own selfishness and stand for what is MIGHT, regardless of the consequences. There are too many men who stand in the middle of tho road, with hands extended to people on both sides, and always tako sides with the last man they meet. In a labor controversy of this kind, a -vacillating course only helps to widen the breach, and make each side think they have the sym pathy and moral support of the peo ple, while the fact Is, the men, who are slapping eacli side on tho back, are doing so because they want their trade, or are afraid of losing same, in this controversy, both sides aro wrong, and botli sides are right, but neither side Is all right, or all wrong. Tho manufacturers aro wrong, If they discharge a man belonging to any or ganization. It Is man's unalienable right to do as ho pleases in regard to joining organizations. Tiio Union, or any organization of men, aro wrong, when they attempt to have jurisdiction over the property, the money, and tho business of a con cern thoy do not own. There is no more Justice in a work ingman having jurisdiction of the shop when in the shop then there Is for a manufacturer to have jurisdiction ovor his men when they are out of tho shop. Th5 manufact urers, who nro parties to this con troversy, should como out publicly, and in the public press, and say that they will not discharge a man be cause ho is a union mnn. The men should demand fair treatment, proper number of hours per week, and fair pay for tho services they render, or in other words a squaro deal. No manufacturer wants any interference in his business matters, any moro than any worklngmen wants any In terference in his family matters. Wo bellevo with this proposition as a starter, tho bosses and moa can get together. Thero aro two ways of getting In to a nowspapor "purchasing an In terest and purchasing an Interview." There Is still anothor way pulling the wool ovor the editor's eyes nnd getting in for nothing, This Is n vory popular form of etttry. Tho rural routes were established 1 for the benefit or rural homes, or In other words the farmers. They have j proven a greater benefit nnd blessing to the farmors than was anticipated by tho most sanguine. A farmer who has once enjoyed the advantages or ' tho rurnl mall sorvico would hardly know how to live without It. It die not come to tho farmer, however, un til ho had ninny times earned it. I Tho farmers are our heaviest tax- J payers. What property tncy nave is in plain sight nnd Is taxed, while tho city gent, at least ninny of thorn, who deals in notes and bonds Is en abled to hide liis wealth from tho assessor. For a quarter of n cen tury the mall has been carried to the city, not once, but many times cacli day. Finally the big heart of Uncle Sam has readied out to tho men who feed tho world. LABOR AND STRIKES. Strikers will never accomplish de sirable ends for good until they im prove their methods. In this country all men under necessary limitations are free moral agents. No man, or combinations of men, may arbitrarily enforce whnt they claim as just against what others hold to be their rights. Laborers undoubtedly have the moral and legal right to work for the wage offered, or not work; but there can be no justification for them when they undertake to prevent others who are willing to work. Ignoring this correct principle has caused great loss in property and time In this country. Take tho late strike in Philadel phia for example. There the strik ers became disorderly rioters and tried to prevent laborers from work ing; even committing violence to en force their contention. All right thinking people sympathize witli la bor which is of divine origin and the foundation of all prosperity; and must be all powerful unless per verted by misguided devices and Ig norance, of natural law. And It is s,uch exhibitions that Invariably cause the withdrawal of public sympathy from the sons of toll. Dickens' Burial. Dickens, was burled In Westminster abbey in the presence of only about n dozen, .people. Ills funeral was prac tically a secret one. This was by his own wish, .for In his will he expressly stated,,, "J .emphatically direct that 1 be burled in nn inexpensive, unosten tatious and strictly jirivate manner." Rubber Plants. The trees and shrubs which produce rubber grow in n narrow belt of the world, within 5 degrees north and south of the equator. Microscopic Life. Tho ilrst organized living forms are" extremely minute and can only be rec ognized by powerful microscopes. A filtered infusion of bay, allowed to stand for two or three days, will lit erally swarm with living things, many of them not exceeding tho forty-thousandth part of an inch in diameter. And yet, minute as these animalculae are, they are thoroughly alive. They dnrt about and digest, shooting out their jellyllko substance to seize their food. Aptly Termed. A farmer in a flood district, watch ing his mortgaged house and barn fail over and float down the river, remark ed, "That represents my floating In debtedness." Bed Feather Markets. The plains of Hungary arc well adapted for the raising of geese, and travelers in that country aro often en tertained by seeing from passing trains Brent flocks of geese feeding in the fields and watched by gooso herds. So many feathers are yielded by these geese that four "bed feather markets" are held annually at Budapest, nnd at each market from 000,000 to 700,000 pounds of bed feathers aro placed on sale. Wild Ostrich Feathers. The feathers of the wild ostrich are superior to those from farm birds. Chinese Politeness. A Chinaman who wears his specta cles In the presence of a guest or a so cial superior Is held to be as rudo as In this country wo consider a man who falls to remove his hat when meeting women of his acquaintance. Old Turnip Seeds. Turnip speds hnvo been known to be dormant for seven years through be ing planted too deep nnd after that tlmo to sprout. Pleasure and Appetite. The lmpulso to celebrate any Joyful event or anniversary by a dinner is a rational one, physicians say, for pleas ure excites hunger Just as, disagreea ble sensations tako tho appetite away. - HOOSUVKLT.

Folk said several years ago that municipal corruptionists were neither Republicans nor Dem ocrats, but simply rogues. Senator Root once said that the political oligarchy In Philadelphia was "a criminal combination masquerading as Republicans." Now comes Governor Charles 12. Hughes of New York, who In a speech delivered recently expressed ! the same thought when he said that political corruption is not partisan, but tho common enemy, against THK MAN WHO ENTHUSED which all parties and all the people!1'1" T , P , 1 . , 'A as a whole must continually wage nn iinrnlnnHnt.- wnr Tlip cpnll Tl ll rpl-I ism for which the essential opera- tions of government make the op- j portunities, ho says, is the curse , of all parties. Governor Hughes, in tho course of the same speech, voiced the sent!- ment and desire of tho whole people when he said that, though attached to his own party and even solicitous for Its success, he cherishes beyond! that the hope that ho may "see the springs of government pure and its waters sweet to the taste." Con tinuing, he said that It was his de sire "to see the illicit efforts of privilege frustrated, bribery and cor rupt arrangements destroyed and the' market places where government fa vors have been brought and sold converted Into the true assemblies of honest representations of the peo ple." The remedy which the governor prescribes is publicity. Publicity does not always mean punishment by im prisonment. As in the case of Allds and Conger in New York state, where the statute of limitations has run, this torm of punishment is im possible. But the great end sought is gained through exposure. Pub licity in itself is a wholesome pun? ishment and, In connection with po litical corruption, a strong preven tive. $100 REWARD, $100.

THE RUNNING OF E A I A 1) Y I, H A h T K II K How it Seems to Hide In An U-to-Dutc Automobile, Ono of tho Rest That In Mndo in tho United States To-dny. Mrs. A. W.

This was a twenty-eight horse power, live-passenger, four-cylinder touring car finished in battleship gray with l,uarl Bray trimmings. Although this was her first expor- ece with a 1010 Franklin, it was by no means her first with Franklins oilier yenrs. in 1DU4 sue secured er llrst Franklin, and she drove It i.io.uuo milt's in two years. There after she secured a 190C car and i with It made 40,000 miles in four . years. Airs. Seaman has acquired a rep utation not only as a driver on tours . but in contests as well. Last year 1 as a competitor In the two-day run I of the Women's Motoring Club of I Now York from New York to Phlla 1 delphla and back, she drove her car ' so successfully as to secure the award of tho Hoi Tan trophy. She started out from Syracuse with her new car after personally putting it Into shape. With her hus- ''"'10 IClOr.

Great masses of ice piled everywhere. Trees that had been 'stripped of their bark by the force of the Ice flow stood on the river bank, mute evidence of the merciless forces of nature. "A house that had been torn from ,lts foundation stood nslant in the pack Ice. They had cut a single track road for about an eighth of a mile through tho ice that blocked the road. The Ice was above the car as wo drove through It. "Then the road led along the river for a way, and logs, brush and all kinds of debris had been stranded nnd floated up on the road. The track of the road has been cleared, but I fear It will be many a day be fore all tho marks of the disaster will be obliterated. "We left Amsterdam at 11 the next day and made a leisurely run to Poughkeepsie. Some fine roads, but we brought our sharo of real estate in on our car. We came home through the beautiful Ramapo val-i ley. We glided into Brooklyn at night with nothing to mar our trip and the car in fine shape except some paint rubbed1 off tho axles by drag ging over the mud and Ice." Mrs. Seaman always refers to her car, just ns a seafaring man does his ship, as "she." Speaking farther of the run, she said: "As for tho trip down to New York, it wns inspiring. Such trips give ono confidence in one's machine when ono goes through them. From the covered bridge a fow miles west of St. Johnsvlllo to Fonda, tho roads were only an apology for roads, Just a sticky black clay, Into which sho sometimes sank to her engine apron and sometimes climbed on top for a while, only to slush down Into a mud holo beyond. Her flexible wood chassis frnmo had a chance to show its worth. Her onglno never fnltored. "After1 nine miles of continual work on first and second gear wo canio to n steep grade that was dry, and wo stopped to look her over. Hor cooling system worked perfectly, nnd I feel sure now that she would not overheat, no matter i how many miles of heavy work I put her through. That's tho bless ing of having no water to give out." In tho last statement Mrs. Senman refers to tho fact that tho Franklin engine, being air-cooled, is freo from tho difficulties and complexities of wntor cooling, A whtto motor cur trimmed with gold will soon bo seen dashing to fires through tho streets of Oklahoma City, carrying tho chlof of tho flro department at a speed which will en able him to distance tho horsedrawn flro apparatus.

When a gasoline economy contest for automobiles is held, it commonly becomes tho opposite of a speed com petition. At a low rato of speed the contestants aro ablo to cover a much greater distance with their allotted amount of fuel than they can If they drive rapidly. A gasoline economy performance at high speed, however, lias now been executed by a Texas man, Dr. W. J. Langley, of Dallas, driving an elghteen-horse-power. four-passenger runabout of the 1910 double-rumble typo. So little consideration did he give to tho accepted speed theories of drivers seeking economy records, that over rough roads, in the faco of a stiff wind and with an equipment of top and wind shield ho raced fori a part of tho way with a big Inter- It will bo Interesting to watch his urban trolley car, winning without progress. difficulty. i Seldel "proposes these Important Dr. Langley set out from Dallas innovations: Home rule.

Tho motor car with Its equip - ment weighed over 1,800 pounds and its four occupants about 700 pounds. making a total of 2,500 pounds. Dr. Langley has driven his car 2,700 miles, and neither on this run nor on any previous trip has he had a puncture. He made the run solely to determine for himself tho de pendability of the motor car. The time on the outward trip was one hour and twenty-five minutes nnd on the return trip ono hour and fif teen minutes. The motor was kept running throughout a stop of a few minutes at Fort Worth. With Mayor William Davis noting as one of the officials a non-stop run of sixty-six hours was recently completed by an automobile in the garage of Hugh II. Lewis of Fort Worth, Texas. The motor car was an eighteen-horse-nower Franklin touring car, and the continuous run of its engine was in charge of C. S. (Clean Score) Carris, who won his sobriquet by driving a Franklin mo tor car through many contests with a perfect score. The air-cooled engine was started on Its continuous performance nt 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Mayor Davis setting the engine In action. The automobile had been placed on tho floor of the garage for exhibition during the horse and cattle show, which is an annual affair In Fort Worth. The non-stop run was giv en as a proof that the air cooling system of the Franklin would not fail when subjected to n hard test.

With tho mayor In attendance the run was officially brought to a closo at 11 o'clock Sundny morning.

MILWAUKEE'S KXPKItlMKNT. Now, perhnps, we shall see that a political platform Is something moro than a structure erected upon which a en"',11"1"0 mW fot, Into office. In Milwaukee, a Socialist, Emll Soldo!. has been elected mayor by a plurality of 7, COO votes over tho Republican and Democratic candidates. Tho fight wns a fair and "open one, and Seldel won because ho was most popular with tho people. Seidcl is not himself n political experiment. Ho has been associated with tho Socialist movement over since the party was organized In Milwaukee. He has served several terms as alderman, nnd, It is said, lias always been Interested In the welfare of the children. He has been foremost In movements to pro vide entertainments which keep the young people away from saloons and on tho streets. Hut now he has entered a broader field of endeavor. Milwaukee Is tho largest city in Wisconsin. It Is cosmopolitan, wealthy and progres sive. Hut it Is not tho "model city." Mayor-elect Seldel proposes to make It such, and ho was elected because the people b ilievo he will do the things he has promised to do. Hons of labor. A seat for every passenger In the street car. Three cent car fares. Eight-hour day for labor. Cheaper gas. Cheaper Ice by means of municipal plants. Cheaper coal and wood. Cheaper electric light. Corporations to pay ! their full sharo of taxes. Clean street cars. Comfort stations. Work for the unemployed at union wages. Free water supply to widows who do washing for the support of fam ilies. Cheap bread, by requiring standard weights of every loaf. If Mayor Seldel delivers half of these things in the term for which ho has been elected he will be the unanimous choice as his own suc cessor. It would be difficult to formulate a better platform or one tending to bring greater benefits to the people of any city. If It were not that people and officials alike are prono to forget platform pledges, thero might be hope that great things are to be accomplished. Perhaps Mayor Seldel will not forget. SEW CO.MMANDMENTS. A concern In Kansas City has is sued some new commandments by way of suggestion to Its employees and they may also fit some bosses. 1. Don't He. It wastes my time and yours and I am sure to catch you in tho end. and that Is the wrong end. 2. Watch your work and not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short. 3. Give me more than I expect and I'll pay you moro than you ex pect. Increased profits will make Increased pay. 4. You owe so much to yourself. you can't afford to owe anybody else, 5. Dishonesty is not an accident. Good men can't see temptation when willing to steal of one, will from another. S. It Is none of my business what S" do at "'K'11- But dissipation af- fects you next day when your time is mine. 9. Don't toll me what I'd like to hear but what I ought to hear. 10.
