There are all sorts of rumors to

Candidate TENER made a favor
able impression upon the antlered
brethren at the Elks' national con
ventlon In Detroit, just the way he
did on the Republican state conven

There is much to commend this
growing sentiment In favor of a pen
sion for the old miners. The soldier
who engages in hazardous war is
remunerated, though poorly, for his
services from the public treasury,
but the fellow who toils a lifetime
in the bowels of the earth for a
pitance too often becomes an object
of charity or a burden on his family
when disease or old age ends his
usefulness. The number of miners
incapacitated for work at an age
when they should be in their prime
shows the unhealful conditions that
surround them at work. Scores are
broken down, afflicted with miners
asthma and chronic rheumatism, be
fore arriving at 40. The more char
itable among the mine bosses per
mit them to work at slate-picking in
the breakers, but others do not want
them in any capacity. Tho broken
flown miner ought to get at least
his house rent as partial payment
for the permanent Impairment of
bodily condition ho has received in
an occupation not all able-bodied
men are willing to undertake.
In regarding childhood we too
frequently gaze In the wrong direc
tion. Wo should look up and not
down. Titusville Herald.
Now look here. Who ever said a
word about the American parent
looking down on his children? He
did that back In the old Puritanical
days, but ho does not do It now. Too
often ho stands meekly and abjectly
by while tho kid with more "book
learning" systematically proceeds to
look down on tho old woman nnd
tho old man. Tho only other looking
down wo havo collided with In a
somewhat extenslvo excursion among
our confiding fellow countrymen is
tho determined disposition of tho
typical man of this period to look
down on the men that profit by his
payroll, or on tho fellow whoso ready
mado suit of clothes cost $11,98 at
tho July bargain sale, or whoso fam
ily tree got planted ID minutes later
than his own and there, whether
you ever thought about it or not, is
tho causo for more jealousy, fric
tion, splto, uneasiness and other
cheerful social trifles than ever fig
ured In any labor row or political
contest from 1492 up to (his morning.

Mr. Editor BALL ought to em
ploy paragraphera more familiar
with their home blocks. The peer
less New York of the South, which
advertises "this is a 'wide-open town

magazines that will take the Cham
ber of Commerce's copy to that ef
fect, has long prided rather than
shamed herself on the reputation
of being the hot tamolo of the South

In New York you have to cough
up a dollar cash for your marriage
license, and when you get a license
for your dog the state soaks you $2
but you have the dog a year, Is a
supposed-to-be-funny paragraph now
strolling leisurely along the shady
lanes of the hot weather newspaper
columns. New York must be radi
cally different from some other
states under that handsome flag,
then. Dogs that howl and yawp un
der the neighbors' windows at
what-tlme-of-rilght-d'ye-call-it do not
always live to give their owner the
value of the ?2 license charge in
some of the states where we have

The press of northeastern Penn
sylvania is plainly with Rural Mall
Driver POTTER, who had some road
supervisors in Bradford county pull
ed for not removing the loose stones
from the highways. He did pre
cisely what those road bosses them
selves know he should have done,
and maybe has indirectly caused su
pervisors in other parts of the state
to get busy. The mall driver is
necessarily a competent judge of a
road's condition. The federal gov
ernment compels him to make a cer
tain time schedule, and to do this
the road under his horses' feet must
be in reasonably good shape. No
fair-minded man in Bradford coun
ty feels grouchy toward Mr. POT
TER for the course he has taken.
Already, it is said, they have better
roads In Bradford.

There can be no doubt that the
public has a vital Interest in this
question, for not only does it pay
the bills, but it must suffer when
medical education is careless and
defective. It Is well that these

institutions are worthy of their in

who reads the riot act whenever he

It is gratifying to know that tho

The Republican party has drawn
young men to it because It has stood
for principles that were right, and
that has given America its place
among the leading nations of tho
world, says the Nicholson Examiner.
It Is fifty yearB ago that tho party
came into control of the nation.
With the exception of four years the
government hastbeen controlled by
it, and our country has prospered.
The policies of the party have stood
the test and been found safe, and for
this reason tho people are loath to
place the power In other hands. It
will bo because tho masses feel that
the Republican party has drifted
away from the old principles that
will cast it away. Montrose Inde

Frequently you pick up a local
paper and after glancing at It, wear
ily throw It aside, remarking:
"Nothing In tho paper this week."
Did you ever stop to think what
that phrase means? It means that
In tho week passed no misfortune has
bofallen anyone In our community;
that no Aro has wiped out a neigh
bor's worldly goods; that tho grim
angel of death has crossed no thres
hold of a friend; that no man driven
by liquor, hatred or fear has taken
tho Hfo of a fellow human; that
no poor dovll, haunted by the past
misdeeds of some othor, has crossed
tho great dlvldo by his own bauds.
So next tlmo you pick up a paper
that doesn't announce a tragedy glvo
a little thanks Instead of grumbling
becauso thero Is no nows. Or, If you
would rather, shall we dish up a
choico morsel of scandal? Would
your eyes grow round, and would
you smack your lips with a relish if
wo wore to write up a sensation?
Well, we can do it. Carbondalo

Fanning As n Science.
In a Bpeech before the Minnesota!
Bankers' association, President J
Brown of tho New York Central
railroad quoted statistics to prove
that the consumption of the pro
ducts of tho farm Is rapidly over
taking tho production. Tho general
movement for elevating agriculture
to tho plane of an exact science, In
order that tho output of tho farms
may be Increased, he asserted, de
serves the generous encouragement
of tho national government.
Continuing his argument, Presi
dent Brown said that f 10, 000, 000
tho price of one battleship If de
voted to tho purposes of scientific
Instruction, with a view to ration
alizing agriculture, would go far to
Insure that In the future the supply
of farm products, so vital to tho na
tion's welfare, will be at least equal
to the demand.
It has become tho fashion of Into
for railroad presidents to make this
same argument. James Hill has been
making It for years, constantly offer
ing statistics to prove that the farms
are being deserted.
If the standard of production has
fallen below what it was In former
periods, tho fault Is not duo to tho
lack of science In farming. Such an
argument refutes itself, Inasmuch as
science in farming is a comparative
ly recent development. In the days
when tho government took little in
terest iu fanning, according to the
argument, the productivity of the
soil must have been at Its height.
As a matter of fact, farmers are
getting as much out of the soil to
day as ever they did. There has
been a general trend toward tho
cities, and to that fact Is duo the
comparative decrease in production.
Immigration tends cityward Instead
of countryward. The natural result
has been a decrease In production
and an increase in consumption. To
that fact largely is due the increase
in the cost of living.
If farmers want to learn intensive
farming, thoy have greater facilities
for doing so today than ever before
in the history of this country. What
President Brown is beseeching Is al
ready being accomplished. The de
partment or agriculture has for a
number of years been conducting a
campaign of education along the
very lines proposed by President
Brown. Millions of dollars are be
ing spent by the government to
teach the farmer how to make every
acre of land yield its full toll. -It
is Impossible to draft unwilling per
sons into the farming Industry, but
those who are engaged in It are
receiving every possible encourage
ment. Model farms are being es
tablished, and the farmer who re
mains In Ignorance today, with all
the facilities of the department of
agriculture within call, has no one
hut himself to blame. Editorial In
Allentown Call.
Taft, Congress nnil Fnlr Piny.
There should be no ignoring a
main factor In this phenomenal
eleventh hour achievement of the
session.
The people were suddenly roused
to the fact that President Taft's
patient, indomitable, splendid effort
to get tho party work done was In
danger of annulment by treachery
in the party camp; by a factious
coalition with the Democratic op
position. From the country, and the
Middle West especially, went up a
demand for fair play for Taft that
meant business in tho Congressional
districts.
Let that demand "fair play for
Taft" be tho keynote of the com
Ing Congressional campaigns.

Tho Good Bonds league.
Leagues for the promotion of tho
movement for good roads are being
formed throughout Pennsylvania.
Farmers of Cecil township havo tak
en the Initial steps in tho organiza
tion of a league of this character.
The automobile owners of Greeno
county are forming an association
of much the same kind. The object
of both organizations Is practically
the same.
By co-operation much can bo ac
complished. The automobile is des
tined to become a favored method
of transportation In the country.
Where the roads are good so much
time can be saved by tho farmers
who use nutomoblles that they aro
certain to gain in popularity.
Every township in Pennsylvania
should havo its good roads league.
The farmers should be foremost In
the movement and the owners of
automobiles should heartily co-operate.
They can readily agree upon
methods to be pursued. Both aro
vitally Interested in improved high
ways. In the first place, everybody should
Insist that the existing roads should
bo kept in the best possible condi
tion. In the second place, each town
ship and each borough should build
some permanent road each year.
The good road problem is often
perplexing. Sometimes its very
magnitude appals local committees.
They hesitate to begin the reform
because the task seems hopeless.
But It can be performed If all In
terests combine with enthusiasm and
a determination to win. Much is to
be done, and state, county and
township should each do a portion of
the work. Good Roads Bulletin.
