The June bride may need her fur
coat and her mittens at the altar,
the way the crisp, cool summer seems
to be steering for us now.
Anyway, that tiresome Ballinger
Plnchot hearing has demonstrated
Ollie James, the Kentucky congress
man and ardent advocate of Col. Billy
Bryan, as one of the best snapping
turtles of his time.
The fellow who does not deem it
a hardship to keep bachelor's hall
for a month or longer has already
commenced to count the days that
may be expected to elapse before his
wife goes to the country, and it may
with equal truth and veracity, be
stated that now and then a country
brother may be found who is glee
fully agreeable to his wife's proposi
tion to go to the city.
Jt's altogether too bad that the
two Wright boys and Glenn Curtiss
should be tied up by prospective liti
gation. Curtiss, who winged his line
aeroplanic whirl from the Albany
gateway to the Manhattan skyscrap
ers at a mile-a-minute clip, almost,
wants to race somebody to Washing
ton, and Orvilie and Wilbur Wright
are the only foemen real worthy of
the Curtiss steel. "On to Washing
ton" between Curtiss and one or both
of the Wrights would be sport worth
while! -ti
A snowstorm visited Alberta, Can
ada, and practically all the great ter
ritory of Saskatchewan last week,
but instead of growling about It, the
inhabitants greeted it with great sat
isfaction. That is a wheat growing
country, and the melting snows give
the grain a fresh impetus that in
sures a good crop. Exchange.
The Canadian northwest, a strong
hold of optimism and no place at all
for pessimistic pleaders against the
ultimate certainty of heavy crops, can
show some of the States when it
comes to the spirit of local progress.
There are older and professedly
smarter people on this side of the
Canadian boundary whose nerve
would be Invigorated by a season In
the wheat fields of Manitoba, Alberta
or Saskatchewan.
Color spite, one of the growing
menaces of the country, got its re
buke in a Norristown court the other
day when Judge Swartz informed a
juror who admitted he did everlast
ingly hate "niggers" that he was an
undesirable juror and need'nt sit on
that case. The fad of telling liow you
( detest a black face, once pretty well
limited to the south, where there Is
some ground for the prejudice, has
lately been spreading north, though
its foothold In the west is ns yet
nominal. Tills juror at Norristown,
who does not nppoar to have been n
southern man or in any way familiar
with the social conditions In the
south, presumably thought it real
smart and clever to say ho had "no
earthly use" for a black man; that no
matter what evidence appeared in tho
prisoner's defence, ho never would
give the negro the benoflt of the rea
sonable doubt. Tho attention of tho
juror whom Judge Swartz so prompt
ly and properly pulled out of tho box
Is directed to tho experience of
Bourko Gockran, who, assigned by
tho New York Supreme Court to
defend a hapless darkey without a
dollar, said: "Your Honor, this man
is one ot God Almighty's creatures,
llko you and I, and I shall be glad to
do tho best I can." And tho best of
Bourko Cockrnn Is nothing to be
sneezed at.
Will Joe Daniels be at the dock to

the Tarheel state who dares to

1912, likewise said that Is, ho let
his Raleigh News and Observer say
that "Mr. Roosevelt, the organizer
of the club, Is the real Ananias."
There is power in the pencil of
.loscphus, but In speech, like Moses,
lie Is halting. The battle between the
Colonel from North Carolina and the
Colonel from Africa will be very one
sided If, instead of watting for the
Outlook, Mr. Roosevelt proposes to
have the argument take a verbal
form.
COOK VS. PEARY SUIT.
If it be true that Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, somewhere on the high seas,
has brought suit for damages against
Commander Robert E. Peary, at pres
ent lecturing on that probably still
u n found Polo to stolid audiences of
Johnny Bulls and other folk beyond
seas, the American people at large
have a feast of laughter on the way
that cannot be exceeded by anything
their shores have seen since the Hon.
LI Hung Chang, the Chinese em
peror's pet envoy and boss borrower
for the Celestials, was over here try
ing to raise money in 1S9G.
What does Dr. Cook expect to
prove against Commander Peary?
He was not in this country 24 hours
after the doctor's polar competitor
got back to his partisans of the Army
and Navy Club and, according to
Cook's allegation, "commenced to
talk about him." How does Dr.
Cook or Commander Peary either,
for that matter expect to prove he
found that long-elusive top of the
world toward which pole-seekers have
been - sledging, and around which
white men and Eskimos have been
famishing and starving, since those
early days of G. W. Melville and oth
er pioneer pole explorers? Can he
point 'to a vindicatory verdict from
the University of Copenhagen, that
"neutral body in a neutral nation"
on which, until last January, he plac
ed such simple, unostentatious and
trustful reliance? The rector of
Copenhagen University, a somewhat
solemn as well as sagacious gentle
man of the sciences, shook his head
above the table that held Cook's Arc
tic data; he was "persuaded, though
reluctant to admit it," that the
Brooklyn explorer didn't know where
the Pole was save as he had seen it
since boyhood boldly Indicated on the
blue and pink surface of a geography
map. Does he expect to prove Peary
collusion and chicanery by Harry
Whitney, the young New Haven mil
lionaire whose peculiar stamp of
wanderlust has led him to spend so
much time and goodness knows how
mucli money hunting in the Arctic
night? Harry Whitney sailed the
other day for Greenland, Iceland,
Labrador and way stations, without
a word as to the alleged tampering
with the Cook outfit stored In the
cache at Etah, and' 'Harry Whitney
has gone back to that mooted coun
try of Cook and Peary in Peary's old
ship Roosevelt, a fact that may or
may not lend color to the belief that
he Is now a Peary partisan, but which
just the same Is worthy of being
taken into consideration.
While wo cannot for tho life of us
see where the first claimant of tho
Pole lias a leg to stand on, legally or
morally, still we do honestly hope,
for one reason, that Dr. Cook's suit Is
real and that lie Is to press it just
so soon as he can get back from
Valpariso, Cuba, London, Constanti
nople, Brownsville and other points
of moro than passing interest whore
the brave Arctic gontloinan has been
sighted. Presumably ono side or tho
other would call tho Hon. John R.
Bradley, tho wealthy and vehement
Now Yorker-Florldlan, who put up
tho rlno for tho doctor's dashes Pole
ward. Wo lmagino tho testimony of
Backer Bradley, who said so em
phatically "ho has fooled us all, from
tho King of Denmark down, and now
has 'beat It out of tho country with
out saying good-hyo to tho man who
financed his expedition," would bo
equalled In vigor by that of a
certain eastern senator who shouted
"lnfamouB liar" In responso to ovory
question propounded to him when a
fairly notable divorce case was .on
trial In Baltimore. -

there were no illicit dogs to pursue.

Fire Chief Croker of New York is
the nephew of Tammany Boss Rich
ard Croker, who ruled New York so
long and who, on the whole, was not
the most admirable sort of a citizen;
but the chief is right when he takes
the civil service commission to task
for loading up his fire-fighting force
with men of inferior physique who
get on because they can write plainly,
read English quickly and correctly,
and are fitted out with a Twentieth
century knowledge of mathematics.
The chief says a book education is
not the main essential fof an engi
neer, a hoseman or a driver; that
"husky, stout fellows, even if they
can't read or write or cipher, are the
men to fight fires." The commis
sion has retaliated to the chief's criti
cism of its appointees by cutting the
height minimum half an inch and
the weight minimum five pounds.
This is plainly wrong. New York
pays high for her 8,000 policemen
and New York pays high for her 4,
100 firemen. Her cops are mostly
stout enough to keep peace in the
city. Her firemen are not always on
a physical par with her policemen.
The score of deaths of firemen on the
ladders at a recent tenement blaze
proves that.

Chief Croker of the New York firo
department bitterly denounces the
civil service commission plan of se
lecting firemen for their theoretical
knowledge rather than for their
brawn nnd courage. He said of the
commissioners: "They have given mo
hollow-chested, cigarette smoking
highbrows. I don't want 'em. Give
me huskies with lungs." These re
mnrks were caused by the death of
two brave men nt a recent blaze
where the civil service firemen failed
to mnke good. Scranton Truth.
At an auction sale of government
school lands held at Medicine Hat,
Alberta, last week, 4S7 parcels of
land, aggregating 7C.300 acres, were
sold. The total amount realized was 1

51C5 an acre for 1 CO acres within a'
few miles of this city and the lowest
price $7 an acre, with an average of!
slightly over $13. Since the opening1
of the government land office at Med- 1
iclne Hat on April 4 last 2,899
homesteads have been filed on a total i
of 371,169 acres of land. Settlers'
are still pouring in from tho United

Glenn H. Curtiss was not the only
aviator who had his eye on that $10,
000 prize for flying from Albany to
New York. Several others intended
to make the attempt, but Curtiss had
the luck, the pluck and the gumption
to get into the game first, Just as
Louis Paulhan, the Frenchman who
stole a march on his rivals, made the
trip from London to Manchester
ahead of the other fellows and gath
ered In $50,000 as a reward. But
prize-getting, stimulating as it may
be to effort, is not all there Is to
aerial navigation. The operators of
aeroplanes have made some wonder
ful demonstrations. Now, if the
science of aviation is to be more wide
ly useful, let them show how the air
ships can be employed with safety in
practical everyday service. Pittston

Criticism of medical education in
various states by the Carnegie Foun
dation will serve a good purpose, even
if one of the first results is confusion
of mind in the case of a few. In
fact, that confusion already exists
wherever there is failure to distin
guish between the reputable institu
tion of learning and the degree fac
tory, or between the products of both.
Doctors suffer ns much as any class
In the community from criticism,
caused by unreasonableness or ignor
ance. The high ethical code under
which they work, forbidding as it
does self advertisement or open crit
icism of one another, furnishes a cer
tain advantage to the less scrupulous.
A formal setting forth of conditions,
therefore, by an independent even if
not infallible authority, must work
for good In the long run. Pittston

Twenty Gallons of Milk From One
Cow in a Day.
Twenty gallons of milk a day from
one cow Is the record of a York Run,
Fayette county, man, according to re
ports that have reached tho Connells
ville Courier, but the sumo rumors
for selling milk that didn't originate
with the cow.
According to the story, William
Davis, a prosperous fanner of the
York Rim district, has been arrested
for disposing of lacteal fluid that does
not come up to specifications. It is
alleged the man has invented a chem
ical process to make imitation milk
out of water.
The alleged fraud was discovered
Catarrhal Asthma
and Hay Fever
Tens of thousands of sufferers from
hay fever and catarrhal asthma find
great comfort and quick relief by
breathing Hyoniei.
Of course, whero asthma is not
caused by a catarrhal condition, but
by nervous contraction of tho bron
chial tubes, Ilyomel is not recom
mended. But In a caso of asthma whero
thero is a discharge ot mucous,
breathing Hyomel gives most won
derful relief by soothing tho Irritated
and highly inflamed membrane.
Mr. W. A. Willie, R. F. D. No. 1,
Evansport, writes: "I havo been
bothered with asthma for over flvo
years hut could not get any rellof un
til I tried Hyomel. I hnvo spent
lots of money on remedies for
nsthmn, and If I could not get anoth
er bottle I would not bo without Hy
omel for $50. I recommend it."
A comploto Hyomel outfit, Includ
ing hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs
$1.00 with instructions for uso in
hay fever and asthma. Extra bottles
of Hyomel cost 50 cents at druggists
everywhere and at G. W. Pell, Druggist.
by Dr. Clyde Conn of York Run, who
treated a child for some minor ail
ment. The child did not thrive and
It took Dr. Conn hut a short time to
discover that tho principal reason was
lack of sufficient nourishment. He
took a sample of the milk and had
it analyzed. According to the story
told by parties coming Into Smith
Held, the analysis showed thero was
no cow's milk in tho concoction.
Davis is said to have done a pros
perous business. Tho discovery of
the bogus milk is said to have result
ed in tho discovery that Davis was
disposing of 20 quarts of milk a day,
yet he had but one cow on his place.

Indian Trails For Airships.
Orvilie Wright recommends for
both tho St. Louis and Chicago aero
plane flights the line of the Hudson
nnd the Erie canal to Buffalo, thence
the lnke shore to Cleveland, where
the St. Louis route would diverge to
the southwest.
This is, as far as Cleveland, pre
cisely the route the unlettered civil
engineers of tho Iroquois Indians laid
out before white men came to the
country, except that tho Indians at
times varied it by taking Wood's
creek to Oswego. Living on the Mo
hawk trail, they easily ruled the
tribes far and near in either direction.
They made paths for moro than
they knew, those Six Nation pio
neers. After them tramped the
royalist armies; the wagon-road fol
lowed their footsteps, then the canal,
tho telegraph, six parallel railway
tracks and Anally the airship will
ply their route to regions they once
readied so slowly by paddle and
portage.
Mr. Wright does not consider it
wise at present for an aeroplane to
cross the Alleghanies, since height
reduces motor efficiency and emer
gency landings are few. Ultimately
the aeroplane must take this route
also; and when it does it will not
fly straight over tho bristling moun
tain tops like a balloon, but will fol
low the lower level of the old Lennl
Lenape trail along the Susquehanna
and the Klskiminetns to the scene of
the Braddock massacre.
The Indians could hardly have
guessed that they were surveying air
ship routes when they made their
trails, but they were. Editorial in
