Why certainly, certainly if over

A sayso ballplayer got in the coop

Fined for bathing within the city

tramp caught in a doctor's bathtub.
This action may explain the reason
of the color of Plttsburgers, but we
are still in the dark as to why the

To get off the soft coal smudge,
porkhead! Didn't you ever go into
a Smoky City shaveshop and have the
white-coated comrade sponge your
face off before ho applied the soap
suds to your physiognomy? Well,
that gives the most feasible idea of
Pittsburg dirtiness, so why not bath
tubs? All around the country doctors are
raising their rates and preparing to
soak the sick man with bills as well
as with pills, but one redeeming
feature of the doctor's trust is a de
sirable result It seems likely to pro
duce. Some timid souls that for
merly Med to tho sanctum of a M.
D., for every stomach belch and too
ache will suddenly get bold and
spunk It out without tho help of tho
extortionate practitioner. And as
for all his twaddle about the unpaid
bills that almost break tho pages of
a doctor's ledger, wo hate to waste
paper to point out tho imbecility of
that argument. Tho woods aro full
of poor clerks, poor farmers, poor
meehnnlcs who scrimp their stom
achs nnd wear $4.98 suits of clothes
Just to gather money enough to pay
tho fancy charges of some hlgh
fnlutlon son-of-a-gun who- wears a
Prlnco Albert coat at church on
Sunday and tries to look down on
the plain, practical citizen whoso
surnamo has the good fortune not
to bo prcceoded by any heavier han

The top of the morning to Rev. I
C. 0. MILLER, Intely arrived upon j
the hills of Honesdale as the pastor
of the German Lutheran church 1
He knows enough about human na
ture to realize that short, simple ser
mons are sufficient unto the needs
of the average Sunday gathering In
summer. He never plana to preach
more thnn 15 minutes; sometimes,
ho says, he gets to his peroration in
12.
This is downright good sense on
the part of this new addition to the
locnl cloth. The tired and jaded
sinner in hot weather Is the hardest
sinner In the world to reach and
benefit. The mnn whose body Is
tuckered by long-winded pulpit ora
tory In July nnd August Is not the
mnn who is going to reward the
leader, of his flock with the acme of
spiritual responsiveness. Even In
Congregational New England, where
the parson of Puritanical days used
to talk two hours nnd 20 minutes by
the clock while the vigilant tithing
mnn patrolled the aisles, eager to
give the llrst Sunday napper a vig
orous swat on top of the head, the
sermon seldom exceeds the half hour
limit now. Wherever you find pro
gressive communities these days you
will find contributing to that pro
gress preachers of the gospel who In
their discourses can economize
time and crowd down language.
One Honesdnle pnstor who essnyed
to tnlk 25 minutes Sunday on a pa
triotic subject talked eloquently,
but he afterward admitted that 25
minutes at the reading desk on a
torrid night in July was a good
stiff physical proposition for him.

Beauty will make things go when

And now comes Mr. Welser of the
Allentown Democrat with the state
ment that Allentown is the bright

The state laws require that suit

ho would bo too cowardly to at

it comes to the queslon of rights the

PENROSE AS SENATE LEADER.
As the time draws near tho prog
nostication which wo made some
months ngo that United States Sena
tor. Penrose would probably become
the chnirrann of tho Senate finance
committee and the leader of the
majority In the Senate upon tho
withdrawnl of Senntor Nelson W.
Aldrlch, of Rhode Island, appears to
be correct.
It Is now Intimated that this was
virtually agreed upon at tho time
of the closo of the recent session of
Congress.
Senator Burrows of Michigan Is
tho ranking member of the finance
committee, but there arc two reasons
why he may not become tho leader.
Ono of them Is that ho Is very old
and may not care for the work and
responsibility Involved nnd another
Is that he Is having a severe contest
for re-election,- rind may not enro to
go hack to tho Scnnte.
It Is ngrced on all sides In Wash
ington thnt Senator Penrose is the
man for the place, the ono who has
the masterly skill, the experience,
the knowledge .and ability, and who
could commnnd the following of
those In the party who make up the
majority In the upper branch of the
national house of representatives.
It will be a great compliment to
Pennsylvania when Penrose Is eleva
ted to this important and responsible
post. Deprived of tho presidency for
one reason or another for many a
year and with no Immediate chance
to get one of her sons In tho execu
tive chair, the next best thing is to
have her senior Senator tho chair
man of the powerful finance com
mittee of the Senate nnd the recog
nized lender of the Republicans In
that body.
Senntor Quay was recognized by
all the Republicans of the country
to be a man of great ability and one
who had all the qualities of leader
ship, but it never fell to his lot to
become tho leader of the Senate.
Penrose has grown In stature ever
since his ndvent into tho Sennte. He
enme there first as the junior to
Quny, but he soon made his Impress
upon that body and he has been
advnnced steadily ever since in the
importance of his committee assign
ments and In the responsibilities
which have been put upon him.
In all the posts to which he has
been assigned it has been marked
that Penrose has more than "made
good," while at the same time he
has broadened in statesmanship and
experience. Each year has found
him higher and higher in the coun
sels of his party and with more work
to do and greater responsibility to
discharge.
It has been noted among the great
men of the country that Penrose
has grown with each new assign
ment a,nd that with every new re
sponsibility he has broadened. The
natural consequence has been that
he gained continually more and more
the confidence of his conferees.
Senntor Aldrlch will be at his old
post, of course, during the next ses
sion of the present Congress, which
will be held during the coming win
ter, and which comes to nn end on
March 4 next, after which there will
be a reorganization of Congress and
of the important committees. Then
It Is expected Penrose will come to
the fore.
There will be much important
business before the finance commit
tee during the next Congress. Mone
tnry legislation, the tariff and all
the more Important matters of the
Senate will be settled In that com
mittee, hence there is need for a big
and wise leader.
Pennsylvania Is fortunate In that
it has as its representative in that
august body the man who will take
the helm and direct things. Of
course, Penrose, In his new position,
will have to servo tho entire coun
try llrst and foremost, but his ca
pacity for serving Pennsylvania and
her best Interests will have material
ly increased by reason of his ad
vancement. Editorial in Philndel-

FIGHTING THE DUST PLAGUE.
It Is a pleasant thing to sit in a
big touring car, admiring the beauti
ful landscape of the rural districts
while the car Is spinning along the
dusty country roads at the rato of
thirty miles an hour. But tho rural
residents who are minus .automobiles
do not think that It is so pleasant to
eat tho dust which rises In dense
clouds as tho benzine buggy passes
out of sight. Tho residents of many
small towns through which scores of
automobiles pnss every dny positive
ly refuse to submit to tho dust nui
sance. That is tho roason. why tho
autolsts find so many oiled highways
at present. .There aro very few
towns that have tho facilities for
sprinkling tho streets, nnd even if
they do it is necessary to sprinkle
them twlco a day to prevent them
froimjettlng dusty.
Crude oil is tho only thing that Is
available, for tho hamlets and vill
ages to abolish the dust nuisance
But it Is very effective, and whore it
has been used tho residents are very
well pleased with tho results. After
tho dust has onco been saturated
with this mixture It Is very easy to
keep tho roads In good condition,
and dust is a thing of tho past. It
Is a safo prediction that within a
few years all tho towns will apply
this remedy, becauso it makes better
roads, offering more resistance to
water which, ns a result of heavy
rains, is often responsible for tho
bad condition, of country roads,

Llttlo Fun With Brother Woodward.
Editor Harlan K. Woodward, whoi
seldom takes a vacation from his
job of running tho Peckvllle Jour
nnl, got weary In well doing at last
and started, "knee deep In Juno" as
James Whltcomb Riley called It, for
n trip to the oil regions of, Ohio,
where It is hot enough In July nnd
August to roast delinquent subscrib
ers in tho public streets without
sending them down to Shcol to be
.disciplined. As Mr. Woodwnrd was
successful in getting a lower berth
on the through sleeper he boarded at
Wllkes-Barre, ho reached Flndlay,.
the heart of Hancock county's oil
country, sufficiently refreshed to look
over the first town In tho United
States to fine the Standard Oil com
pany $5000 and tho costs of pros
ecution. A brjght letter from Find
lay to Mr. Woodward's paper' had
much Interest for, tho editor of The
Citizen, ,who has "newspapered" In
Flndlay, one of the real live, up-
and-coming, ginger towns of the lake
region, and, remembering the Journ
al's editorial announcement that
"we (Mr. Woodwnrd) may bo lo
cated by addressing police head
quarters, Flndlay," he dropped a
line to Chief John L. Kramer and
Capt. Frank M. Grant, two prime
good fellows connected with the
Ohio city's bluecoat force, asking
them to take the Peckvllle mnn at
his word and give Mr. Woodward
the time of his life. As Kramer and
Grant are competent men when It
comes to the entertaining effort,
there is every reason to assume that
the Journalistic brother from across
the mountains got all these men
could llnd as properly coming to
him. Wo hope In the next number
of the Journal to learn more about
this Woodwnrd outing in tho Ohio
oil country. We mistrust it will
make rich reading If the Peckvllle
editor unbosoms himself without re
serve and writes the rare good story
he is capable of writing.
CHICAGO'S INSURGENT JUDGE.
There are twenty-seven stand-pat
judges on the municipal bench at
Chicago and one insurgent. The lone
Insurgent is McKenzie Cleland, and
his story, as told In Human Life for
July, is too good to miss.
After his appointment to the mun
icipal bench Judge Cleland dutifully
lined the crowds of offenders up be
fore him each morning and sent
them to jail in the good old wny to
be warmed and fed big, able-bodied
men at the city's expense, while
their families suffered mennwhile
with cold nnd want.
But It wasn't a week before Judge
Cleland's conscience turned insur
gent. He saw that the whole pro
cess was unreasonable wrong. So
one fine morning he threw the old
system overboard, nnd started on
an entirely new tack. The method
he adopted was so revolutionary
that It has drawn the attention of
