ABOUT THE KEYSTONE ROADS.
On every Bido increasing attention
is being given to tho problem of
good roads, and Pennsylvania Is
slowly making progross In this di
rection, though still disgracefully in
tho rear rank, if wo may judgo from
tho reports of those who travel
much in such states as New York,
Now Jersey and tho East. At least
a portion of tho blamo for tho poor
condition of country roads In this
state Is to be charged up to the con
stables, who, under tho law, aro ex
pected to keep tho court posted on
tho condition of tho highways. This
they very generally fall to do. Lu
zerno county has a quarterly return
day for constables and on this day
theso officers nro under oath to ln-
form tho court as to roads that arc
maintained in proper condition.
Rnrely Is tho law obeyed, however.
Thero nro hundreds of notoriously
bad stretches of highway in Luzcrno
county, but this fact could not bo
gleaned from tho reports which the
constables mndc to court a few
days ago. "Luzerno may learn a
thing or two from Berks county con
cerning this matter. Wo learn
from n Heading newspaper thnt Dis
trict Attorney Schaeffcr has become
weary of hearing complaints about
bad roads in Berks county nnd ho
has sent orders to every constable
In his Jurisdiction to mako a de
tailed report to him on tho subject.
He nnnounces thnt If these reports
show that tho supervisors and others
having charge of city streets and
country roads have been persistent
ly negligent in the performance of
their duties, ho will tnko legal steps
to Instruct them In their obligations
to tho public. Thero Is no question
but that tho county courts have au
thority to compel road supervisors
to maintain good roads. Such an
ultimatum ns that Issued by the dis
trict attorney of Berks county will
probably produce good results. It
Is an example thnt might well be
followed by the district nttornoys of
Luzerno nnd other counties in which
tho highways in many places are
poorly maintained. Editorial in

ROBBED TRAIN FOR JUNK.
Boys arc Fined nnd Scranton Mnn,
n Possible Fngin, Is Held.
CARBONDALE, Sept. 7. After a
series of thefts of Junk from the cars
and tracks of the Ontario and West
ern railroad between Olyphant and
Dickson City, four 14-year-old boys
who have been arrested by railroad
detectives admitted in Justice of the
Peace Rogan's court that they had
derailed an Ontario & Western loco
motive in the Prlceburg yards Aug.
25 in order that tho wreck they
expected to occur might provide
them with more scrap iron and brass
to sell a Scranton Junk dealer.
Tho derailed engine was In charge
of Engineer Henry Warner. It
blocked the railroad division three
hours and 40 minutes and cost tho
company several hundred dollars for
repairs.
Tho four boys were fined by Jus
tico Rogan. They aro Joseph Kotch
koskl and John Jest, both 14 years
old, of Prlceburg, Felix and Edward
Podoskl, aged 12 and 14 years, of
Dickson City.
Herman Bragon of Raymond
court, Scranton, wns arrested by
Ontario and Western detectives,
charged with buying stolen goods
from tho boys. At a hearing before
Justico Rogan ho was held under
$1,000 ball.

INDIANS IN FIXE FETTLE.
Bojs From Carlisle Expect to Open
Oct. 8 With Fnst Gnnio In
Wllkcs-Ilnrre.
Football Coach Glenn S. Warner
of the Carlisle Indlnn school Is
much pleased with the new football
rules and believes that they will
result In giving a more spectacular
game and will consequently be much
more interesting to tho public and
be less dangerous for tho players
than the rules governing the game
in former years. Coach Warner
last year did quite a bit of experi
menting along the very lines that
are covered by the football rules
committee. He said that ho thought
the forward pass would bo used
much more than ever before and be
lieves that open and freak forma
tions will be greatly in vogue dur
ing tho coming season.
Tho famous Indian coach thinks
there will bo a tendency to do away
with tho former efficient lines of
work of the quarter back, because
of tho Institution of the direct pass,
but does not think that the rule
against the making of flying tackles
will materially Interfere with effec
tive tackling of a runner, because
flying tackles have never been so
much used as is popularly supposed.
Tho new rule will practically only
affect tackles made from the rear,
In which case it will now generally
be necessary to pull a runner down
by seizing his shoulders. Warner
thinks that if the rule changes It
will remove tho necessity of having
to play abnormally big men on the
line, and figures that the athlete of
ordinary build will be best adapted
to football, consequently giving a
better chance to develop strong
teams than formerly to the smaller
elevens, who have had their troubles
in procuring big men. He thinks
that football coaches will this year
have great opportunity to uso their
brains and ingenuity, possibly a
greater chance than ever before in
the history of the game, because
practically all plays they had been
taught or been used are practically
ruled out this year and every foot
ball strategist will have to depend
upon his own originality in working
up an offensive system.
Tho Carlisle Indians will start to
work much later this year than
usual, although a few of the stu
dents who have returned from their
summer outings expect to gambol
on the gridiron at Carlisle, during
the latter part of the week. Tho In
dians this year expect tho Indlan
Bucknell game at Wllkes-Barro on
Oct. 8, to bo a great event. The
enormous growth of Interest In
football promises a record-breaking
crowd at Wilkes-Barre.
COJLMEXDS W. S. RENNET.
An "Admirer of Consistency" litis
u Few Words in tho Tribune.
May I say a few words In refer
ence to a political favorite who has
been mentioned as a possible can
didate for governor on the Repub
lican ticket, tho Hon. W. S. Bennet?
says "an Admirer of Consistency" In
tho Now York Tribune.
I firmly believe that tho present
administration, which has just inado
tho greatest record In enacting laws
which will havo a tendency toward
remedying a number of tho abuses
which havo heretofore existed, has
never had a greater advocato than
ho; though ho may bo criticised for
his stand in regard to tho tariff, 1
am firmly convinced that In this re
spect he can properly clear himself
and provo conclusive that tho tariff
as enacted was mado to suit univer
sal conditions, and not local ones.
That he has proved to bo a con
sistent advocato of tho plonks which
tho Republican national platform ad
vocated and which tho majority of
tho peoplo approved can not bo de
nied. As chairman of tho Immigration
committee his Indofatlgablo nud en
ergetic work deserves tho considera
tion of every voter in tho largo
cities.

"Does thnt settle it?" nsked the cus
tomer. "Sure."
"An' yo'll nlvcr be nukln' for It

"Certainly not."
"Fnlth, thin." said the other coolie,
