lvat.'ng and Reading.
Most public men enter a public
dining room, newspaper in band,
glanco at the bill of fare, order some
thing In haste and bury themselveB
In sensations or calamity editorials.
Breakfast served they cart it in
scoopfulB to tho buccal cavity, first
with ono hand, then wfth the other,
changing the paper from right to
left and devouring tho contents as
greedily as they bolt the food. It Is
not always a pleasing sight. But
time is short, you know. Then thero
Is always a notion that such men are
nervous and seek to hide their em
barrassment through tho paper. This
is an excellent device, far hotter than
fingering a glass of water, rattling
the cutlery, thrumming with the dig

Government by Commission.
Several cities of Pennsylvania are
nt the present time giving some at
tention to whnt has been denominat
ed the commission form of govern
ment. Among them wo can recall
off-hand Wllllnmsport, Erie and Hnr
risburg. In each of these munlclpal-
I Itlea tho subject Is being agitated by
those persons who bellove It would
i bo an Improvement over the present
system.
It has nover been seriously consid
ered here. In fnct, It can scarcely
bo said to have been considered nt
all. Around city hall, where such
matters are discussed, along with
j other municipal probloms, It hns of
ten been superficially talked about,
but It was more or less regarded as
some Utopian Idea that looked tri
umphant In theory but promised
pocr prospects in prnctlce!
Nevertheless, It is a subject that
is coming rapidly to the fore. One
reason for this Is the seeming suc
cess It hns attained in those cities
where it has been in operation for
somo yenrs. Advocates of the com
mission plnn declare, and not with
out somo degree of truth, thnt the
present division of nuthorlty among
municipal officers Is inimical to tho
i best Interests of all. They say It
. breeds inefficiency, costs more, dl-
viiles responsibility, begets indiffer
ence, etc.
On tho other hand, they maintain
thnt the commission plan abolishes
party politics In local nffalrs, elimi
nates the politician and tho grafter,
makes a munclpality a business en
terprise, establishes direct responsi
bility, promotes economy and abol
ishes a lot of sinecures and political
rewards by substituting organization
and method.
At the approaching municipal con
vention at York the commission plan
Is likely to come in for a large share
of the attention of the delegates.
Our own Mayor Hoyer expects to
start the ball rolling by a paper on
tho subject. In view of his extensive
experience in municipal affairs, first
as a councilman nnd thrice as mayor,
he ought to be In a position to say
something vitally interesting, as we
understand that he is inclined to look
with favor upon the change. At all
events he can speak with the author
ity of knowledge of the defects he
has found In the present system, as
seen through the office of mayor,
and we may look for an expert opin
ion. Editorinl In Altoona Mirror.
A pew Doxrs.
Don't fail to sound your town's
praises wherever you are.
Don't make your money out of its
citizens and spend it somewhere else.
Don't frown on every' public im
provement simply because It will
cost you a dollar or two.
Don't sneer at the efforts of your
fellow citizens to build up the town
but lend a hand yourself.
Don't talk a great deal about what
should be done and remain on the
back seat waiting for someone else
to do it.
Don't say a board of trade Is "no
good on earth" until you can prove
it by statistics.
Don't say the public schools are
a failure because your boy has been
upsetting the school's discipline and
been punished for it.
Don't stay at home on election
day, but get out and hustle for
good men and good government.
Don't let a good local paper that
Is the town's untiring champion
abandon the champion business be
cause of lack of deserved patronage.
Don't forget to drop your dollar
In the slot when the committee that
is aftor a new enterprise comes
around with the subscription list.
Don't forget that in building up
the town hearty co-operation, united
endeavor and a spirit of get-there
are what win the day. There is no
pull like a long pull, a strong pull
and a pull together.
The Cost of a Prescription.
Tho writer took a doctor's prescrip
tion to the drug store to have it filled.
In some way this piece of pnper be
came torn In half, so that when the
patron handed tho druggist the first
piece that 'public servant at once'
measured out the ammonia salt it
called for, and placed the small vial
before his customer.
"How much?" asked tho patron.
"Ten cents."
"Oh, beg pardon!" said the pur
chaser, at this Juncture finding the
remainder of tho prescription in his
pocket. "This piece says to add
enough water to the other to mako
four ounces."
"Very well," rejoined the apothe
cary, dumping tho contents of the
small vial Into a four-ounce bottlo nnd
adding tho required water. "Thero you
are, sir, forty cents more, please."
"What! Ten cents for ammonia
nnd forty cents for the water?"
"Exactly. Tho doctor's name writ
ten after the water makes It a pre
scription, and we put up no prescrin
tlons under fifty cents." Judge.
If the Sun Were Blue.
If tho sun were blue there would
bo only two colors in tho world, bluo
and black; or if it wore rod every
thing would bo rod or black. In
the latter case, there would bo red
snow, red lilies, black grass, a black
clear sky and red clouds. There
would be a little variety, however. If
the sun were green. Things thnt aro
now yoHowv would still remain that
color, but thore would bo no reds,
purples, oranges, or pinks, and very
few of those choory hues thnt mako
tho world bright and pleasant. Be
sides color tho temperature of this
earth would bo very much changed.

DcmocrntH Knew of Guffcy'.s Troubles.
Announcement of the appointment
of a receiver to tnko charge of the
affairs of Col. J. M. Guffey created
little surprise in Allentown. At tho
time of the Munson fiasco In tho
Democratic state convention, held
there a month ngo, assertions were
openly made by some of the leading
members of the party In Lehigh
that Munson's withdrawing was due
to Guffey's flnnnclnl difficulties.
Few persons there at the time be
lieved these assertions, but the lead
er of the Democratic pnrty In Lehigh
county, a man much dissatisfied with
the outcome of the convention, de
clared it was true, and said Col.
Guffey even nt that timo had asked
I two extensions from his creditors.

This Stare For Apples.
Washington, California, Colorado,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Utah are
the great npple producers of this
country. A dlspntch from Spoknne
notes thnt 15,000 carloads of apples,
consisting of 10,000,000 boxes, will
bo shipped from that vast American
orchard to the eastern markets this
season, hnvo been contracted for by
the great wholesalo fruit houses of
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
It is not necessary to suggest that an
apple crop of such magnitude is a
great thing financially for the states
of tho northwest. What is of great
er concern to Pennsylvania Is, we
hnve the word of State Zoologist
Surface that tho soil of tho Keystone
state Is bo admirably adapted to ap
ple culture that If our agriculturists
would devote their attention to the
growing of apples along scientific
lines, Pennsylvania would be the
greatest apple orchard In the world.
Wo liavo called attention to this im
portant mntter before, but it will
bear repetition and emphasis. Prof.
Surface believes thoroughly in Penn
sylvania as a fruit-growing state, and
those of our farmers who have tak
en his advice and devoted tfielr at
tention to the growing of apples
and other fruit have been abundantly
repaid. Editorial In Plttston Gazette.
