We refuse to be pessimistic about
the tomorrow of our neighbor over
the Mooslcs. Carbondale has good
men and plenty of them. The Car
bondale spirit, save on the somewhat
hysterical and touchy topic of
Honesdale ball games, is a fair and
rational spirit. We congratulate
Carbondale on a probable population
of 20,000, a gain of 3,000 since the
1900 nose-counting. There are

Watchman.
Our Democratic friends profess
considerable Joy because of the ap
parent lack of harmony In the Re
publican party. But their adulation
will not be of the permanent var
of our population. We'd like to be
a big city, with from 25,000 and up
wards population, but under present
conditions it will be a long time
before we will attain to that size.
We may have to be content with
the figures of 10 years ago.
What should worry us more than
the size of our population, however,
is the question as to whether we are
a good city. Not the biggest. Not
the most enterprising small city
even, but why not be the best? Why
bother about quantity when we can
develop quality? The comfort and
happiness of a community are pro
moted, and even Its reputation abroad
Is advanced, not so much by her
size as by her excelling in those
things which make up the sum of an
ideal town, whether it be large or
small.
Have we well-paved and clean
streets? .Are we well equipped with
schools .to educate our children so
that they may grow into useful citi
zens and morally good men and
women? Have we attractive public
parks and finely proportioned public
buildings to inspire our people with
pride in their institutions and with
a taste for the beautiful things In
life? Are art and literature proper
ly fostered? Have we an honestly
administered government, with taxes
not unduly high, but sulllclent for
the purposes of a city such as this
should be?
If we are able to say yes to these
questions and to others of a similar
character which will suggest them
selves, then Carbondale need not
worry as to the results of Uncle Sam's
recent count of noses. Indeed, a
large population carries with It cer

for the good of his party. Let's see.
When did he begin? Buffalo Ex
press. Mr. BRYAN Is his own party, and
to that party the Peerless Pleader
of the Platte has been Intensely and
profitably loyal since that "Crown
of Thorns and Cross of Gold" day
In 1S9C. His work for that "party"
has netted him approximately $400,'
000, after deducting a $20,000
farmhouse outside Lincoln, two
trips to the Far East, a JG.000 au
tomobile, and a costly son-in-law
whose grass widow is now married
to an English officer in Jamaica.
Why, in the name of the Chicago
platform and the crop of Kansas
Populists that at one time over
shadowed and engulfed the crop of
Kansas sunflowers, shouldn't Mr.
BRYAN continue to labor assiduously
for "the good of his party?" That
"party" has boosted him from a
snivelling little $15,000 in 1S9C to
a near-plutocrat in time for the
1910 census. Mr. BRYAN would

same breath if he went back on his

Gov. PATTERSON, who has been

party by pardoning Col. DUNCAN
