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

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.

PUBLICITY AS A CORRECTIVE.
Joseph W. 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

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?

litical corruption, a strong preven

Mrs. Seaman had gone to Syracuse
to visit the Franklin automobile fac
tory there, to get a new car. 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-

The Ice gorge at Herkimer was
as
full of Interest. 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

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

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

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.
