Too often the men In n few lines of trade are about the only ones that reach out after custom. Other merchants wait until these men induce the people to come to town and content themselves with the trade that naturally drifts to their places. A public spirited man should ask himself if he is doing his part to attract people to come to town to trade, in helping the busi ness community, and no town is a success unless all lines are working to extend the trade as far as possi ble, and trying to bring a larger ter ritory In the circles In which the town is the business center. Roosevelt has proved himself to be a "bully" politician, some people say it the other way, that he is a "political bully," the word bully be ing one of his pet words'.' Anyway you use It will not displease him as ho is dee-lighted with any expression that emphasize his personality. He deserves great credit for his victory at Saratoga from the very fact that ho won regardless of the fruits which will no doubt blossom and mature at the coming election. He smash ed the Old Guard and is now the New Guardian of the Republican party of New York state. With Woodruff, Sherman, Barnes and oth ers as trophies of his Saratoga hunt shackled to the rear end of his au tomobile, he can now make his tri umphal return to Oyster Bay. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Theo dore Roosevelt may have a chance to whistle while the Republican par ty In the Empire state Is smashed to smithereens. OUR SPECIAL FItOM SARATOGA. .Air. Editor: Just as I promised you I am giv ing you my impressions of our con vention. 1 was a sub, and it was a hummer. The hnll was packed. The crowd was pretty well divided in yelling. Roosevelt Is a corker. He Just rode rough shod over the old gang and booted them out of control. He is the Boss and don't you forget It, and lie will name his man for governor and his name, I am told,1 is STI.MSON. He Is a kid glove sport, so they tell me. When Teddy stood on the platform and opened his mouth to show his teeth, his face looked like that big bear trap that used to be on exhibition in the win dow of the Simpson pawn shop. There wero 17 delegates In my row and every blessed one of us is hold ing down a good government job, and you can bet wo made some noise. Big mouth Leary sat on ono side of me, and every time he roared I had to duck or have my ear drum cracked. On the other 6ido was an old gent with whiskers. He looked like a broken down sport but he had his little part to say, all written out by some typewriter. This old guy lost his goggles and I had to read his program to him and toll him when to get up and nominate some fellow on some committee. He had a cracked voice and you couldn't hear what ho said If you laid In bed with him; but Teddy had It all down alrlght'and didn't have to hear. You can talk about tlio machino being well greased. Say, that was the slick est and best running artlclo that over camo down the pike. Every mothpr son of them had his little part all typewritten and our buuch of 17 had a big yap from up the stato who would tell us when to yell and you can bet wo shouted. You could hear us way out on the race tracks. Somebody waB very generous with tho dough. All railroad, hotel and car expenses wero paid and every man had a Tener or a sawbuck with orders to push it over tho bar. The rnco track gang were very happy. They claimed that Teddy promises give tho live sports a show but Is going to jump on those pious sports down In Wall street who gamble all the week and go to church on Sun days. I saved my tenor and lot tho other fellows do the bar act. I nm going to use my money for gasollno. I have tho uso of n nice llttlo .gov ernment car on Sindays'but, tlioold gang got so moan as to drain (ill the gasollno out of tho tanks so tho boys couldn't uso them on Sundays, but Parsons will fix that up now, as ho will want overy man to bo out nights and Sundays whooping It up for Roosevelt's man. Our hend man tells us that Roosey Is going to have fatty Taft put all of us fellows on tho civil service list so wo enn't be re moved In case the Demy's get back on tho throne. Say that fellow In Pennsylvania you hnvo rnnning for Governor is a dandy big follow. If he only had the nervo Teddy has ho would own tho whole stntc. He's got a bully name too, Tener. Is ho giving many ten spots away. Tele graph me. MURPHY. KOOSHVHIrS OPINION OF SMALL FARM EltS. From a paper by Theodore Roose velt in The Century Magazine for February, 18SS. "Hut everywhere among theso plnlnsmen and mountnln-men, nnd moro Important than any, are the cowboys, the men who follow the calling tliat has brought such towns into being. Singly, or in twos or threes, they galop their wiry little horses down tho street, their lithe, supple figures erect or swaying slight ly as they sit loosely in tho saddle: while their stirrups are so long thnt their knees are hardly bent, tho bridles not taut enough to keep the chains from clanking. They nro smaller and less muscular than the wielders of axe and plok; but they are as hardy and self-reliant as any men who ever breathed with bronz ed, set faces, nnd keen eyes that look all the world straight in the face without flinching as they flash out from under the broad rimmed hats. Peril and hardship, and years of long toil broken by weeks of brutal ais- slpatlon, draw haggard lines across their eager laces, but never dim their reckless eyes nor break their bearing of defiant self-conlldence. They do not walk well, partly be cause they so rarely do any work out of the saddle, partly because their chaperajos or leather overalls hamper them when on the ground; but their appearance is striking for all that and picturesque, too, with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the villainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left, from boisterous lightheadedness rather than from any viclousness, and in dulging too often in deadly shooting nffrays, brought on either by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some long-standing grudge, or perhaps because of bad blood between two ranches or locali ties; but except while on such sprees they are quiet, rather self-contained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treat a stran ger with the most whole-souled hos pitality, doing all In their power for him and scorning to take any re ward in return. Although prompt to resent an Injury, they are notjit all apt to bo rude to outsiders, treating them with what can almost be called a grave courtesy. They arc much belter fellows nnd pleasnn Icr companions than small fanners or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a grout city to be mentioned in the same breath." The above is a verbatim extract from a paper in The Century Mnga zino for February, 1888, entitled "Ranch Life In the Far West," and signed "Theodore Roosevelt." The extract will be found on page 502 of the magazine. From beginning to end we give It exactly as It was originally printed. GRAY LINE GROWS THINE IN CONGRESS, TOO. How time is passing and the old order of things is changing is sug gested anew by tho very recent death of two United States senators, Mc Enery of Louisiana and Daniel of Virginia, both of whom wero in the Confederate army. For many years tho greater part of the representa tion from the south in both houses of Congress was made up of men who hnd been in tho military service on that side during tho Civil war tho Confederate brigadiers as they came to be called. With the pass ing away of Senators McEnery and Daniel there remain in that branch of Congress but six men who fought for the Confederacy Senators Bank head and Johnston of Alabama, Tal iaferro of Florida, Bacon of Geor gia, Money of Mississippi and Mar tin of Virginia. And by an odd co incidence there aro tho same num ber of ex-Confederates In the house Messrs. Taylor and Richardson of Alabama, Rucker of Colorado, Liv ingston of Georgia, -Talbott of Mary land, and Gordon of Tennessee. Tho day is at hand when veterans who wore either the blue or tho gray In tho great ' struggle from 18C1 to 18C5 will bo exceedingly Bcarce In public life. Figures of tlio Milk Situation. In June a daily averago of 47,293 cans of milk and 3,512 cans of cream reached tho Now York market, says the Milk Reporter. This Is equal to 64,856 cans of plain milk, an lucreaso of 1,746 cans as compared with re ceipts for the corresponding month of 1909. Tho Increase Is represent ed by 1,030 cans of milk and 143 of cream and unsweetened condens ed. Mnrket prico from May 1 to July 15 Inclusive 3 cents a quart. Commencing July 1C and until oth erwise announced 3' cents per quart to 1.40 per can of 40 quarts. Borden's price for Juno $0.93, July ?1.10V& per can of 40 quarts. Tho usual Juno surplus was very much In evldencountll about tho 20th of that month. Early in July It disappeared entirely 'and a short age; devolopod to such an extent that In many Instances dealors worofcord polled to do Bomo lively hustling In order to secure tho necessity sup ply. At present supply and demand are about evenly balancod. RIGHT OFF THE BAT. By George, this Is bully. Thco-I doro Roosevelt, This is political murder, but It's necessary.

Tlio only malefactor of great wealth who frankly acknowledges the corn and confesses that he lias malcfacted is the subject of nn out-of-the-ordinary story by Bruce Bar ton In Human Life for October. Tills confession wasn't made on the mourner's bench, by the way, or after the doctor had told the man of millions that he had but a few hours more to live. The timo and place wero even more unusual. Here Is a part of his confession nnd his arraignment of other gilded malefactors: "You are robbers, too. The only difference between us is that I know 1 steal and you don't. I am going to lend a better life and you are not. I don't mean that 1 am going to quit stealing. I'm only half honest yet but I'm going to use my swag I might as well bo plain about it, and 'swag' is what it is I'm going to use it to break up the system which has made It possible for mo to get it. John D. Rocke feller Is a member of my gang, a good, quiet little member, who doesn't have any idea how big a ribber he is. Pierpont Morgan is another. The only trouble with them Is that their consciences need sand papering, or they need a few more jolts In the stock market, or some thing of that kind to bring them to a sense of their iniquity. This is no fairy tale, but a per fectly true happening, and the life story of how this man made his mil lions, what has pricked, his con science, and his plan for destroying the system that makes such robbery of the public possible is ono of the most unique features of this issue. DISPUTING SCIENCE. , Those practical persons who have rushed Into tho lists with Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson, and have declared that the gentleman from Tama, la., did not know what he was talking about when he said In a recent report that chickens ought to bo kept without food for twenty-four .hours before they were killed, should pause before obtrud ing their opinions upon the public. Secretary Wilson had as a basis of his declaration, the report of a very clever young lady who is known in the department as Dr. Pennington. Dr. Pennington is an expert and a scientist, and in the words of the Secretary himself, "is a mighty nice girl." She has been Investigating this chicken question for a year or two, and last spring she went before tho cold storage warehousemen and told them a lot they never knew be fore about their own business. They took it nobly, too, and voted their thanks to boot. What Dr. Penning ton knows about preparing poultry for market and the effects of cold storage on it, tho relatives merits of dry picked poultry and poultry which has been scalded and other things pertaining to the subject, would fill a book. Accordingly, it is recommended again, thnt non professional persons should go slow in contradicting the deductions and findings of Dr. Pennington, who "lias the dope" as the sporting edi tor says, to back up all that sho says.

"I will dismiss overy man In the uniformed police force of New York If thnt bo necessary to restrain po llco lawlessness, nnd I will be as vigorous In opposing and punishing official rufllanlsm or corruption on the last day of my administration and on overy dny between then nnd now." "Tlicro arc grave shortcomings In Judicial administration. Don't bo deluded Into tho belief that every thing is perfect there. Perfection does not belong to nny of tho sons of men nnd your Judges arc only humnn." "I nm not one of those who be lieve thnt the courts should not bo criticised. Thnt Is a strange nnd evil notion. They should bo wntch cd and criticised the same as other brandies of government, nnd can bo kept up to a proper standard In no other way." "Tlioso judges so delicate about criticism nnd yet Indelicate enough to claim they should be free from it, nro probably sadly In need of public attention." "It Is not judges, but Justice, that is sacred." "Pause and ask whether a high tariff on nrtlcles that we do not pro duce at all, or do not. produce enough for our use, Is consistent with the principles of a protective tariff. "We should shed statues which grow obsolete and obnoxious tho same as a snake sheds his skin. "It Is not the business of the po lice to revive dead letter laws. "The laws against-healthy physi cal amusements on Sunday are ob solete and obnoxious. I don't in tend to enforce them." "I would rather know that a child of mine was at a baseball or foot ball game on a Sunday afternoon than not to know where he was." "Many of our boys and young men scarcely see the sun at all during the short days of the year except on Sunday, and have no other day for outdoor exercises from one end of the year to the other." "The old Spanish proverb says: "We are all Just as good as God made us, and some of us a good deal worse. "The American policeman Is a Russian czar." To the New York police force: "You arrest too many. Three out of overy four whom you bring to tho police station ought never to be there. You are making criminals. His notion of humor was, to say the least, peculiar. In addressing a letter to A. B. Kerr, a political antagonist, whom ho bitterly dis liked, Gaynor would erase the "Kerr" and write over it "Cur." When first questioned as to whether he would be a candidate for mayor, he said: "I have nothing to say about It. Ask Mrs. Gaynor about It. Sho is my political boss. She will tell you. To professional reformers: "You are hypocrites. You are not sur prised you are simply disappoint ed. GOING, GOING, GONE. Uncle Sam, as a land auctioneer, is attracting considerable attention in Oklahoma by an unique method of selling the red man's heritage, In tho form of good tillable land. Thnt tho farmer and investor appre ciate the plan and have confidence 1.. it is demonstrated by tho fact that within the past twelvo months ap proximately one million dollars have been paid for Indian land to the United States government through tho United States Indian Superin tendent at Muskogee, Oklahoma. For several years tho question of land titles in that part of Oklahoma, formerly Indian Territory, has not been looked upon favorably by those desiring Investments. Land that will raise ono bale of cotton to the acre, sixty bushels of corn season after season, better than ono hun dred bushels of oats, two crops of potatoes in ono season, averaging one- hundred bushels to tho acre, and adaptable to raising a corres ponding crop of any of tho staples, has gone begging and remained Idle on account of tlio title bugaboo. The same grade of land In Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and tho other agricultural states, was bringing from ?C5.00 to 1150.00 per aero, whilo the Indian lauds In Oklahoma wero taken by tho weeds for tho lack of purchasers at ten and fif teen dollars. Within the past year, things hnvo greatly changed. The Government decided to soli tlio restricted lands for tho Indian and supervlso the proceeds from tho snlo of such lands. Tho Indian Is, ns a rule, In experienced and in nny business per taining to his land, such -as renting or leasing, only succeeded in getting the title clouded, hence- tho scare of poor titles. Tho plan of tho government offi cials is to clear tho land of such clouds, appraise tho land and im provements, and offer tho same to tlio highest bidder, thereby Insur ing porfect title, tho deed being pre pared In tho ofilco of the United States Indian Superintendent. From the beginning tho plan proved nn excellent ono and before the third monthly salo tho lists bt land wero sought by people In nil tho states. Tho United States In dian Superintendent has today on his mailing list of monthly land sale notices some five thousand names of Interested persons In other states, who nro desirous of purchasing tho Indian land. Tho averago ncrenco offered monthly by the United Stntes Indian. Superintendent Is 20,000, nnd som.0 months tho list moro than doublda that amount. Tho October Balds' now being ndvortlsed show fifty thousand ncres, n majority of which is susceptlblo to the highest stato of cultivation nnd will raise In nbundnncc all the crops of tho tem perate zone. Theso trncts aro appraised by two competent land men, ono n regular land npprnlser and tho other the district ngent In tho locality whore tho lnnd Is situated, and who is familiar with tho conditions in this locality. Tho land is advertised for thirty days In tho newspapers of the state and by printed posters distributed by the mnlllng list system. Tho bids aro opened on tho day specified In tho advertisement nnd tho high est bid, If It exceeds the amount stated Irf tho appraisement, gets the lnnd. At tho time of sale ton per cent, of the amount offered miiBt nccom pany tho bid and the balance to bo paid on receipt of notico from tho Indian Superintendent to the effect that tho deed has been executed and Is ready for delivery. There Is no doubt as to a plear title to land purchased In this man ner as the records aro carefully ex amined by tho representatives of the Indian Superintendent and if no clouds nffecting title are found, the land Is ndvertlsed. When nn Indian makes application for the removal of restrictions upon tho sale of his land the same Is submitted to nn nppraiser for an investigation as to its quality, improvements nnd value consideration being taken as to the distance from market, kind of market and the roads. At the same time the" District Agent is given a description of the lnnd and he checks the county records wherein the land is located to ascertain whether there are any Illegal Instruments of records. If such instruments nppear of record the superintendent will riot advertise the land until tho title can be cleared. The land advertised through the office of the United States Indian Superintendent Is of every qunlity, found in any state, there being open prairie, timber, first class agricul tural land, and large tracts of rough land suitable only for grazing pur poses. The better grades during the past year have sold at prices ranging from $10 to ?20 per acre, while grazing land has brought from $1 to $5 per acre. In the southern part of the state and along streams the land is cov ered to some extent with merchant- Our , Store when corning- 7 to Honesdale to the WAYNE COUNTY FAIR W e offer a treat to visitors during the week of the County Fair.
