XO ONE HACKING THH (JANG.
There doesn't appear to be the
slightest enthusiasm over the FLIXX
VAX VALKEXBURG gang's BRYAX
Democracy ticket.
The Prohibitionists do not like it,
nor the platform; the regular Demo
crats have spoken out In no uncer
tain terms regarding the whole thing,
including Bolter BERRY, who heads
the ticket; throughout the state there
has "developed nothing but a stand
off, critical attitude, and even D.
CLARENCE G1BBOXEY, who has
never before been chary about run
ning for office, was dubious about be
ing one of the candidates.
It I? not very encouraging to the
North American in Its wide-open ad
vocacy of BRYAX and BERRY, and
to the few disgruntled ex-offlcehold-ers
and would-be officeholders, th"e"
political soldiers of fortune, who com
prise the FLIXX-VAN VALKEX
BURG gang that has banded togeth
er in an abortive effort to get con
trol of place and power in the state
ior their own selfish purposes.
These and a few persistent cranks
who have long tried to dictate how
he state shall be conducted without
ever having got a commission to do
bo from the people constitute the en
tire backing of the Keystoners.
It does not look very encouraging
for them. In fact, it would not ap
pear that they have the ghost of a
show.
The "fan" vote Is confidently
counted on in behalf of the Republi
can candidate for governor of Penn
sylvania. Mr. Tener was formerly a
baseball pitcher. Providence Jour
nal. Xow that little inkshot from the
Rhode Island capital Is supposed to
be real funny, and It Is quite possible
that In Providence, where the per
sonal equation Is of far more im
portance than real mental or moral
fitness In candidates, the political as
pirant who used to play ball would
lead his ticket because he once was
a diamond luminant; but in practical
Pennsylvania, where gubernatorial
and other state ticket candidates are
picked out for their experience, their
honesty and their gray matter, the
"fan vote" is quite a negligible
quantity. There ure Pennsylvania
Republicans and Pennsylvania Dem
ocrats and Pennsylvania independ
dents who love to go to ball games,
and who worship at the shrine of tho
man in the box who can strike out
the side with three men on bags and
the crowd trying to rattle tho pitch
er, and who would give their last
23 cents to get into tho grandstand
If they had to sell a postage stamp to
raise the othor two coppers; but we
do not nominnte and elect men to
high public callings In this state bo
causo they can play ball. Mr. TEXER
was put at tho top of tho ticket
named In Harrisburg because tho
seneo and spirit of the party rec
ognized In him tho man to keep tho
Keystone state In tho ranks of statos
that roll up a good old G. O. P. ma
jority of 100,000; and the argument
that brought about his nomination
will bring about his election over
WEBSTER GRIM and WILLIAM II.
BERRY and MADISON F. LARK1N
and any other candidate that may seo
fit to squander time and money in
an effort as vain as a search for Dr.
COOK in Honolulu or at Coney
Island.
I1ATHING XU18AXCK IX HAWM3Y.
Wo are glad to see that Hawley,
too, is tired of and disgusted with
tho indecencies of the tlghtless bath
cre. Listen to the Hawley Times:
Xumerou8 complaints have been
made about boys, and in some In
stances even men, bathing in tho
Lackawaxen within the borough lim
its. The practice Is confined princi
pally to that portion lying north of
Hawley and nlong tho Erie railroad.
The complaints are based upon tho
fact that. In almost every instance no
bathing suit Is worn nnd the bathers
appear to be absolutely oblivious to
passersby.
The attention of bathers Is di
rected to the fact that there Is a law
against such proctlccs. The com
plaints heard have been numerous
and those making them say that un
less the practice Is stopped some
action will be taken in the matter.
The complainants have no desire to
stop bathers from enjoying tho sport,
but they do not wteh to have their
sensibilities shocked by dally ex
hibitions. Moreover, the outlines ex
hibited are not such as would startle
a Grecian sculptor. A bathing suit
costs but a trifle nnd its use Is
much more dignified and fashionable.
The Citizen has proposed a remedy
for this nuisance in Honesdale. Pos
sibly the Times, a good law and order
paper In the borough to the south
of here, will advocate the same meth
od of proceedure against the tight
less scamps that are an eyesore to
the decent people of Hawley. Print
the names of the bathers and print
the names of the shameless women
that stand nnd watch them. That
will put the lid on the obnoxious
practice if anything can!

Speaking about tag day, do you
know of a town anywhere that has
any more pretty glrln to do the tag

The man who growls for rain can't
complain this trip. But the man who
whines that "it rains nil the time"

vacation month of August is the time
chosen by the astute business man
for the final touches to his fall ad
vertising campaign. 'Xough said!

President Smith believes in a prompt
start and a reasonable closing time.
He is exactly right on both points.

the nerve to try out a full-fledged
Old Home week this time. But bore's
hoping her Old Home day during

The New York-Scranton airship
flight for $5000 and notoriety is lost,
strayed or stolen. So much the worse
for Wayne county. We could have
seen those sky pilots nicely as they
scooted through the blue on their
aerial voyage from Gotham to the
Electric City.

While making up your dreams and
dopes as to the motive and where
abouts of one Frederick A. Cook,
why forget to figure that the Polar
pilgrim mny have gone up in an air
ship and forgotten which lever to pull
to come down? That theory would bo
quite as logical as some presented for
consideration.
Mr. Stocker's Herald says "The
most important question in this state
Is to wipe out tho machine, and Mr.
Fuerth has always been an antl-ma-chlne
man." Like most of the edi
torials and cvommunicatlons that ap
pear In tho Horald, this statement is
a sugar-coated pill for tho voters.
Some may swallow It; but they will
find it will operate Just tho same as
any old bitter pill. There is no Dem
ocratic representative In Pennsylva
nia more closely allied with tho Guf
fey machine than Mr. Fuerth. Those
now crying out against "machine
rulo" also declare the Penrose and
Guffey machines nrfc one and tho
same, the latter being simply tho tall

out for such purposes, but they

When one borrows trouble he con
tracts a debt that will have to be
paid. The exactions of worry are
frequently greater than those of
work. The man who enn keep cool,
win or lose; the mnn who can
strengthen up after he drops the
load; the man who enn smile at his
wife and play with the babies, al
though uncertain of tomorrow,
stands a good chance in tho race.
Worrying hinders and never helps.

wail's
'street is not quite sure wheth
er the transcontinental railroad
scheme which recently collapsed was
a tragedy or a farce. There was a
little of botli in the affair. The Pear
son syndicate is supposed 'to have
been separated from $10,000,000 or
$12,000,000 real money. That is
trogic. It was guided to a large ex
tent by an individual other than
Pearson, who but a decade ago was
looked upon as a soldier of fortune,
and yet who sufficiently recouped
himself In nerve and credit mean
time to set bigger and presumably
more astute Napoleons of finance by
the ears. This is simply farcical.

Secretary Wlckersham's decision
that Virginia may place a statue of
Gen. Robert E. Lee wrought in
bronze in Statuary hall in the Capitol
at Washington is meeting with the
approval of the press everywhere.
Virginia has the right to her own se
lection of the son she would honor.
The civil war closed forty-five years
ago, and more than half the people
now living have no personal recollec
tion of it, and those who have will
recall It with sentiments of sorrow
rather than anger. The animosities
then engendered are forgotten in a
reunited country; the Blue and the
Gray are now one In honoring and
defending the one flag. Doylestown

' If "honesty is the best policy,"
which we do not for one moment
question, it Is clear that a very
large number of storekeepers in this
country do not prttctlce it. Weights
and measures inspectors in many
cities find wellnigh countless meas
ures of which the bottom is too
near the top, scales that do not bal
ance, and weights that go only to
twelve and fourteen ounces to the
pound. What that false trading
costs people, the poor In particular,
may well be Imagined. With hosts
of people It is a constant struggle
to exist and that struggle is all the
more difficult when they are depriv
ed of their just return for money
paid, and which money has been
earned by hard labor. Lancaster

Within the past week wholesale
robberies of homes have been com
mitted at Xazareth, Easton and Beth
lehem, and In every Instance the jobs
bore the earmarks of tramp work.
Just a week ago a barn was burned
at Vera Cruz, and, since spring, quite
a few Incendiary fires have occurred,
all of which may, without any stretch
of Imagination, be laid to tho door of
tramps. Something should be done,
and quickly, to rid the country of
this evil. When men decide that dis
honesty is the easiest policy it's hard
to get them to do any honest work,
and but ono thing remains punish
ment. Thirty days in jail for this
class means little moro than thirty
days freo board in fact, In winter
timo tho regulation hobo likes noth
ing better than a vncatlon Indoors
with no worry about where the next
meal is coming from. Moro drastic
punishment, and moro arrests of
these wandorlng social pests, would
result In better conditions, wo be
lieve, and robberies, as well as oth
er outrages, would bo fower through
out tho entire country. Allentown

I went to Scranton Wednesday, but
my trip to the Electric City was not
for the purpose of buying another
horse. The mare Mr. Richmond
bought in Archbald Is nil right and
that Is all the public needs to know.
This trip was a trip that had noth
ing to do with horseflesh. Frank

At the Shoemakers' picnic the oth

around and shaking hands, but I be
lieve they made a mistake. It's too
early yet to talk politics. People out
for nn August picnic don't care to
hear about politics. That belongs to
a period some months ahead. E. C.

On that trip into Sullivan county
the Honesdnlo team lost every one of
the four games played, but what do
I care for that? I made a whole lot

About one thing the Skat club, to
which I have the honor to belong, is

both ends of the incident with a
couple of 5-cent cigars. The other
night I floored Dorln good and prop
er by telling him that if he could
show me a chance to make $15 a
day, my minimum charge, by talking
that doctrine of his, I'd go out and
preach. He couldn't show me where
to get that much and he had to go
into his hole for the time being. But

COUNTRY LIFE COMMISSION.
One result of tho second national
conservation congress in St. Paul,
Sept. 5-9 may be the revival of the
country life commission, a Roosevelt
project which fell by the wayside af
ter Representative Tawney of Minn
esota had succeeded in having an
amendment which put it out of busl-j
ness tacked on to the sundry civil
bill. In his speech before the con
gress on Sept. 6 Col. Roosevelt Is ex
pected to have something to say con
cerning the country life commission
and he no doubt will throw his energy
into the fight to havo tho commis
sion restored to good standing.
President Taft likewise may say
something on the subject and a move
ment Is likely to result that will end
In urging congress to appropriate
sufficient funds to carry on tho work.
If the plans of certain persons inter
ested in the matter are carried out
there may result a sort of affiliation
between the national conservation
commission and the country life com
mission. The matter will be present
ed to the conservation congress by
Walter H. Page, editor of World's
Work, who is on tho programme to
speak on "Tho Farmer and tho Xa
tion." James J. Hill, chairman of tho
Great Nosthern Railway board, who
always has the interests of the farm
er at heart, probably will take up tho
matter in his address on "Crops, Food
nnd Clothing." Glftord Pinchot may
also have something to say on tho
subject. Liberty Hyde Bailey, dean
of the Agricultural college of Cornell
university; Kcnyon L. Butterfleld of
Massachusetts and Charles S. Barrett
of Georgia are going to lend their
assistance to tho movement, as is
Henry Wallnco of Des Moines, In.
Tho appointment of tho country life
commission by President Roosevelt
attracted considerable attention. It
was intended as nn uplift for the
farmer and an Improving of farm
conditions. Editorial In Port Jervis

.Mny Not Like Mnplo City llnllwlsc,
Kilt Admits Honesdnlo'H Push.
The Cnrbondnle Leader's "perti
nent and personni" paragrapher got
busy Wednesday night and this Is
what he wrote:
Is Honesdnle a slow and sleepy
town 7 It may be nil right for rival
baseball teams to talk that kind of
talk when trying to boost the In
terest In the nntlonnl game, but It
must be admitted thnt that city has
shown as much energy for munici
pal progress ns any town In the
country, not excepting anything west
of the Mississippi.
One of their latest doings is to
offer n site free for any Industrial
concern which will locate there. A
public-spirited citizen of the town
who owns a large lot alongside n
railroad switch, has also offered this
free without any strings attached
to nny coming industry which wants
it.
They have also taken steps to in
corporate into a Greater Honesdalo
nnd, besides, a magnificent hotel is
to be built on the famous Irving
cliff, on the site of the one which
burned yenrs ago.
They did something at their board
of trade meeting the other night over
there which will surely be printed In
the Erie timetable In the joke col
umn, and thnt was to pass a resolu
tion thanking tho Erie railroad for
tho new passenger service recently
Installed. The idea of anybody
ever thanking the Erie for anything
or the Erie being entitled to thanks
is thus for the first time brought to
public attention.
One sure thing is that there is no
thnnks coming to the Erie from
this town, and we'd be Just as ready
as anybody to bestow it were it de
served. .Maybe they will feel so
gratified over these Honesdale thanks
that they will try to do better all
along the line.
