The petty politicians of the pro
posed third ticket will not get the
privilege of pinching Mr. Plnchot's
purse.
Talking nbout 1912 Democratic
tickets, how about AGUINALDO and
Doc COOK? There arc two men
that have amply demonstrated their
ability to run.
Honesdale saw some skin games
circus day, but Honesdale has no
burglary to report as the result of a
show in town. That beats Carbon
dale. One Carbondalian lost a silver
watch and $9 In real money the day
the Japanese acrobats and the ele
phants struck his town.
Edison is working to produce a
mechanical stenographer. Wives
will be for it and chewing gum Arms
against it. Harrisburg Telegraph.
And a whole lot of employers who
call themselves model husbands as
well as citizens will be red hot
against it and united in the hope that
this time the electric wizard of East
Orange may see his plans beaten to
a frazzle.
Forest City Is talking Old Home
week and that's the kind of sub
ject which always has a welcome
sound at the Wayne county seat.
Honesdale, which had one of the
best reunions any small town ever
had, is In a position to offer sugges
tions if they are .solicited, and a
Forest City Old Home week would
draw considerably from here.
W
Can a rattlesnake climb a tree?
That question has put a lot of 'cm,
even the eminent Prof. Surface him
self, up a tree. For ourselves, we
propose to answer this way: If chas
ed by a rattlesnake of sufficient speed
and proportions, we believe we can
climb the tree ahead provided we
get there first as quick as any
snake ever climbed It; and, once up,
we should grind out the most de
vout and incessant supplications
conceivable to the Almighty asking
that, if that snake can climb, ho be
restrained from doing It until help
can come In the shape of a farmer
with a hoe sharp enough to pulverize
that snake's head into mint juleps
for Fourth of July exhlliratlon.
Verily and of a truth tho only
smart BAILEY paragrapher is not
Col. Sam, who writes so prodigally
down there on tho Houston Post In
Texas. listen to this from the
Johnstown Democrat, another paper
that shines with BAILEY brilliancy:
"Democracy and Its opportunity,"
Is tho title of an editorial In the
Houston Post. That must be In Tex
as. Since tho Allentown scandal the
Pennsylvania Democracy has no
more chance than a tallow dog chas
ing an asbestos cat in hell.
No wonder the GRIM and GUF
FEY gallants want to read John-
town's Col. W. W. out of the party
No wonder tho Democrats, both the
BRYAN faithful and tho GUFFEY
faithful, out that way aro talking
loud and whistling hard to keep
their courage through tho woods!
Come to think of It, Senator PEN
ROSE, usually a conservative chap
when it comes to that tender job of
estimating election majorities, put
It low when he said Mr. TENER
would get there with 200,000 votes
to spare. With most of tho think'
lng Democratic papers in tho state
against him, and with halfway in
dependent Democratic voters, dis
gusted, dropping oft every day, what
manner of man is It down river In
quiet, sequestered Bucks who thinks,
yes Bays, ho "may possibly get in by
a small majority?"
Prof. GRIM, one of tho four
brothers of tho senator who wants to
be governor, has Just been mado a
Doctor of Philosophy. Will tho oth
er GRIM take his November medi
cine with philosophy?
"I'm On My Way To Reno" and
"I Won't Bo Back 'Till August" ore
two brand now songs at the moving
picture shows. It's safo to assume
some of tho men that started for
Reno won't bo homo nny month.
Tho Plttston coal company gave
the Plttston Y. M. C. A. 110,000 to
wards its building fund "becaueo the
organization makes a safe and com
fortable resort for railroad and coal
men." Railroads and Blmllar cor
porations arc recognizing more and
moro the good work of the associa
tion and, what's more to the point,
they are drawing bigger and bigger
checks to supplement the praise they
give by word of mouth.
Young man, when you go to
Wilkes-Barre keep a tight lid on
your lips and don't spit on the side
walk. The antl-spittlng law is go
ing to be enforced, says the mayor
and tho chief of police. A Wilkes-
Barre citizen, fairly prominent, was
pulled and fined tho other day be
cause he inadventently expectorated
on the pavement of East Market
street, and there are bound to follow
other violations, arrests, prosecutions
and fines; but let the native talent
have the monopoly of law-breaking
and line-paying this trip. Hones
dale citizens finding themselves over
that way will save the dollar for
peanuts or peaches or moving pic
ture shows. The Wilkes-Barre
youth who fell from grace momen
tarily and settled for It must not be
Imitated by his brethren from Wayne
county, for all they are allowed to
spit on the sidewalk at home, for
all some of them "tan spit further
and straighter than some men can
throw a five-ounce ball.
"I'm in poor health and must go
abroad," said THOMAS FORTUNE
RYAN when he sailed from New
York for the other side of the pond.
"The Democrats are in good shape;
they will surely win in 1912," said
THOMAS FORTUNE RYAN when,
in London, the ubiquitous hotel re
porters made a dash for the man
of banks and railroads. His New
York statement makes comprehensi
ble the statement he emitted in
London. Nobody but a very sick
man can see Democratic harmony In
1910, or hope of Democratic suc
cess in 1912, with BRYAN sharpen
ing a knife for Gov. HARMON, with
TOM MARSHALL trying to tickle
the dry crowd and the wet crowd
at the same time In Indiana, with
JOE FOLK sending his stool plg
ons to New England, with growing
belief that even If ROOSEVELT does
not run himself he will pick out
some man who can make the party
of THOMAS FORTUNE RYAN run
seven different directions at once be
tween Saturday night and Sunday
morning. The place for Mr. RYAN
is Carlsbad, where he could take
those soothing waters for his dis
ordered liver. Tho man who put
up the colorless PARKER and the
octogenarian DAVIS In 1904 surely
has superiors as a prophet of nation
al elections.
CHAMP CLARK, whom some pa
pers as well as politicians irreverent
ly call "Chump" CLARK, is not one
of tho JOE FOLK men now trying
to proselyte tho GRAY and HAR
MON faithful In the East. At
Stroudsburg, whero ho is carded for
tho main attraction on tho main
day, ho will go In for tho very
broad and ovaslve subject of "Good
Citizenship," leaving tho FOLK cause
to paddle its own canoe through tho
Water Gap. A sort of a Chautau
qua sermon, wo take it, tho Hon.
CHAMP will offer up at tho Old
Homo week of tho Monroe county
capital. Congressman PALMER gets
him thero, and Congressman PALM
ER says "no pollticB." This, after
all, is well. Tho Old Home reunion,
which jumped Missouri and went
on to I O way in its westward
march, ought not to bo degraded In
to a political stumping chance.
FOLK or no FOLK, it's to tho credit
of his Missouri neighbor that no
syllable of candidates or causes Is to
bo permitted to escape" thi3 pictur
esquo orator's Hps at Stroudsburg.
His hearers will enjoy him tho bet
ter for tho utter absonco of candl
datal or party talk, and, all nonsense
eliminated, tho Hon. CHAMP is no
slouch of a talker on such topics as
those naturally suggested by a re
union occasion.
In Olyphant laBt week Miss
ELIZABETH WOOLEN became' a
June bride, and It Is not yet writ
ten that the young woman shrank
from tho ceremony.
Tho mail that refuses to digest
the gratuitous advice of his neigh
bors will dlo jest as happy as though
ho'd taken everybody's word for
everything aud acted accordingly.
There should bo no prizes offered
for the best-looking and best-dressed
tootsy wootsles In tho baby par
ade at Stroudsburg's Old Home
week. Thus far everything prom
ises a happy and harmonious holiday
in the Water Gap district, and it
would be a pity If a mamas' row
should at the last moment be pre
cipitated to spoil everything.
In Wilmington, Del., the other
day a darkey accidentally struck a
woman who was wrestling with an
ugly dog and a crowd of hot-headed
men and boys wanted to string him
up. They might have done it had
not tho city marshal and 12 cops
In a patrol wagon arrived" on the
scene just then. Wilmington, Del.,

Reasons to Suit Everybody.
From tho Providence .Tournnl: At
last the cause of the high cost of
living has been discovered. Tho
Republican majority of the
committee of inquiry has discovered
it. So has the Democratic minority.
Were the Prohibitionists represent
ed on the committee we should
doubtless be Informed that 'rum did
it." However, a choice of two is
numerous enough to guarantee sat
isfaction to most tastes.
PROHIBITION PARTY ROSS?
Old Member From Bradford County
Says Cold Water Men Have One.
W. S. H. Hermanns, one of the
Prohibition leaders in Bradford
county, repudiates the platform
adopted at the recent Harrisburg
convention and, although a candi
date from his county on that ticket,
says ho will refuse to run at the
coming election.
"I am quitting the party as it is
now managed," he maintains. "Why,
It's a woman's suffrage organization.
I refuse to be a candidate on a plat
form in which I don't believe. They
talk about the bossism of Quay.
His dictation was nothing compared
to the bossing of the Prohibition
ists. Convention after convention
has been under an Iron grip."
THE DEMOCRATIC FIASCO.
When the delegates to the Denip
cratlc state convention turned their
faces toward Allentown the fore part
of last week there was little thought
that anyone but C. L. Munson, the
Willlamsport lawyr who made such
a good run for supreme court judge
last fall, would be named for gov
ernor. But the fates are not often
kind to the Democrats In Pennsyl
vania, and at the eleventh hour Mr.
Munson wrote a letter withdrawing
as a candidate, and tho convention
because It had to name someone
went on and nominated Senator
Webster T. Grim of Bucks county,
whom .no one expects to be elected.
The feeling among Democrats Is that
In some way or other they have been
cheated out of a strong candidate for
governor, and they are mad and
disgusted. Munson has given no
satisfactory explanation of It and up
to date his friends and his party aro
in the dark concerning It.
Munson was without doubt tile
strongest man tho Democrats could
have named. Berry had quite a fol
lowing, but not, It seems, sufficient
to nominate him after tho Williams
port man had withdrawn. The Dem
ocrats were preparing to put up un
der Munson's lead thojiardest light
In years and were loud In their claims
that If they didn't land their man
In tho governor's chair they would
at least "keep us stepplnc." They
were probably claiming too much,
but it would undoubtedly have been
hardor to beat Munson than anyone
else. However, wo aro not hero
to sympathize witli our enemies and
they may straighten out their wrang-
glo and get out of their trouble as
best they can. Tho next governor
of Pennsylvania will bo, as usual, a
Republican.
Thero is another sure thing In
connection with Munson's with
drawai it will havo a markedly de
pressing offect on Democratic chances
in the congressional elections
throughout tho Btato. There wero a
few districts in which tho Democrat
ic nominees wero counting on tho
popularity and well known running
qualities of Mr. MunBon to carry
them through to victory. In this
district ono of Mr. Kipp's most sub
stantlal aids would have boon tho
fact that ho had on tho ticket with
him tho supremo court candidate of
last fall who reversed tho heavy
Republican majority In Bradford
and carried tho county by moro than
800 votes. It would havo been a
big help Indeed. Tho Democratic
nominee for congress would bo de
feated even had ho been fortunate
enough to havo Mr. Munson for a
running mate. Without him, with
tho Democrats of tho county and
stato cbagrlnned and disgusted by
tho developments at Allentown, Mr,
Kipp's defeat is surer than over.

These are strenuous days for the
Pennsylvania Democracy, in tho ef
fort to find out whero they are at.
The argument reached the acute
stage In the Allegheny county Dem
ocratic committee on Saturday, and
it was with difficulty that the Johnson-Jeffries
dispute- was not antici
pated. Mr. Guffey and friends, It
appears, objected to being called
crooks and scoundrels. The average
Pennsylvania Democrat is unusually
sensitive in these days of political
turbulence, with charges of bribery
and corruption filling the newspa
pers to the exclusion of material of
a more wholesome character. Lan

The King road drag, the best pos
sible worker of dirt country roads,
to be used Immediately after rain,
is too cheap and simple to ever be
very popular. An advocate of Its use
says "It ought to have four fly
wheels, 50 or CO cogs, and a few
hundred coll springs attached, and
then If It was 1285 f. o. b. Chicago,
it might come into general use. As
It is, It Is too darned simple ever to
be appreciated. Nobody wants a
road drag, however effective, that
only costs a few boards off the back
fence, a bolt or two from the wind
mill and a flstfull of skinned
knuckles." Wyaluslng Rocket.
It Is gratifying to the Times that
the suggestion first made in Its lo
cal columns several days ago, and
dwelt upon more at length later,
that the nicklets In the city be fumi
gated at least one a week, Is bear
ing fruit and that the proprietors of
some of these amusement places
havo seen the wisdom of making
their houses as sanitary and free of
disease germs as possible. The
bureau of health should promptly
take up the matter, and see that all
nlckelets, which have constantly
changing crowds of people, ten or
twelve hours a day, are made as
sanitary as possible, and as one of
the means to this end, In eradicat
ing disease germs and foul air, none
is better than fumigation. Scran

The increased cost of living is giv
en as a reason for the proposed in
crease of physicians' fees. The min
imum rate to be adopted by the
physicians trust would appear to be
stiff enough without considering
maximum charges. The outcome of
increased fees will probably be that
families will use more patent medi
cines, home remedies, suffer longer,
or worry along without the physi
cian's or surgeon's aid as long as
possible. We doubt If any class of
professional or business men have
more outstanding accounts or who
have more difficulty in securing pay
