FRIDAY, JUNE
THE SAFE AND SANE FOURTH AGAIN.
It is announced that sixty-seven stations throughout the State of
Pennsylvania will have tetanus anti-toxin for distribution in cases of emer
gency on the coming Fourth of July. We are glad to see that such wide
spread precautions are being taken against the serious accidents from ex
plosives which makes Independence Day synonymous with injuries and
deaths, but we are sorry that conditions are such that these precautions
are necessary.
Every" year the list of victims has grown larger It seems a pity that
this foolish loss of life and property, due solely to the barbarous celebration
of the Fourth should continue. We hope that the crusade begun ten years
ago will have some effect this year in lessening the number of fatalities
which make our "Glorious Fourth" a day of sorrow and despair in many
homes rather than a day of patriotic rejoicing.

WHV TAFT IS IJKEI).
Somebody in writing to the Now York Sun says that he likes President
7aft both for what he Is and is not. For instance:
He is not a politician.
He Is not a Pharisee.
He Is not a demagogue. ,
He does no stunts, poses never, has no hobbles. Level headed, of the
judicial temperament, seldom mistaken In men or measures, not all stuck
on himself, ready to listen patiently to both sides, and in splendid good
humor.
He calls no man rascal or liar because he cannot use him. There he
differs from the demagogue. He is no Puritan or Pharisee, but lives the
higher life better than either; knowing he Is right, goes ahead, tolerant
of all faults In factions, and never loses his temper.
He uses no short, ugly words because you differ from him as to men
or measures, He cuts no antics.
First pf all, he was a Judge. He needs no Instruction from the politi
cians In his duties and privileges under Constitution or laws, for no man
since John Marshall over so clearly understood their scope and limitations.
This level headed, clean, broad, honest man, a Simon pure democrat, is
President now, and next year is sure of re-election, because he has the con
fidence of all our people-

lilCSS STEAMSHIP THAN A TOWN AFLOAT.
Viewed from the distance of the Times Building's towner, the depart
ure of the Olympic from her pier Wednesday afternoon seemed a simple
and easy episode In navigation. The fleet of attendant and assisting tugs
was invisible, and the big ship came out, turned, and started down the
river with as little apparent difficulty as If she had been an ordinary coast
er. Even from afar, however, her colossal size was Impressive so im
pressive that one's Inclination was less to wonder that she was carrying
away so many people than that her population was not still larger.
After all, it is not so much the Olympic's bigness that makes her a
notable specimen of marine architecture as It Is the way in which the peo
ple aboard of her can live. It is no new thing, of course, for first cabin
passengers to find on steamships facilities and conveniences approaching
those of the best hotels, hut it is new. to put the greater part of these at
the command of people in the second and third cabins, and to give even
those in the fourth quarters as much better than the typical steerage as
the Olympic's first cabin Is better than what anybody's money could buy
In the days of sailing ships. Traveling by sea was then one long torture,
hardly endurable by any except the most sturdy, and even they complained
bitterly of the dreadful crowding, the
tilation below decks, the complete absence of the amenities and decencies
of civilized life. .And this, in a transatlantic voyage, was for weeks, not
days. It should be remembered,' too,
sailing ship cost about as much as
Olympic, while now one can cross in
for a half or a quarter of what was
pers.
The modern shipbuilders are even getting the better of seasickness, a
malady for which the medicos can do little or nothing more now than- in
the era of sails. People are ill, indeed, even on the big vessels, but they
are not so 111, and more and more escape with each addition to the length
and breadth of hulls. N. Y. Times.

STATISTICS AND
The graduating class of Amherst College this year has presented some
very remarkable and interesting statistics for the perusal ot a business
world.
Ninety-three young men were
tics the highest annual expenditure of
the lowest $250. The average expenditure yearly was $093, This speaks
well for the small college.
Twenty-nine men expect to enter
law, eight will teach, six will take up
journalism, three Into the advertising
decided what they are best fitted for.
This last fact does not speak badly for the college but It does for those
young men themselves. It is supposed that a young man goes to college
to prepare himself for some work in the years after his graduation, and
that his studies are directed towards that end. Four years would seem
to be a long enough period in which a youth could make up his. mind as to
the business for which he is best fitted. If the boy does not learn at least
that one fact while he is in school it seems to us that the four years must
have been wasted to a large degree. Sixty-five smoke, twenty-three
don't; forty-seven take a drink now and then, while forty-one won't touch
alcohol In any form.
We are sorry to note the disproportion ot the smokers to the non
smokers and the now-and-tben drinkers to the total abstainers. Alcohol
In any form, moderately or to excess is not for the young man who wants
to succeed arid college 13 not the place at which to pick up a habit which
may ruin an otherwise promising career. It would be Interesting to note,
and the Citizen believes that It would be ascertained that the twenty
three who do not smoke also do not drink, because the former Is general
ly the forerunner of the latter.
The politics of the class is one sided. There are sixty-six Republicans,
nine Democrats and nine uncommitted. Tho only comment which we will
make on this most interesting fact of all Is that the nine who do not know
their own minds have lost tho full value of a college, education which Is
valuable first and foremost simply because.lt teaches a young man how to
think.

tho $2.50 prizes offered by the East

dltion to this will buy your good

One Honesdale mother recently sent
the picture of her baby son to a food

asking for Infants' pictures. It was
accepted and a neat little sum was'
received which started baby's bank

be picked up at once.

In their work.
It is our purpose to give advice to
our boys about saving. Wo know
that greflt Dnancier wlll be read
with considerable interest. In an
address to young men on "The Road
to Business Success," Sir. Carncgio
exhorts the young man to begin
early to save money, almost as soon
as he begins to earn. "No matter
how little It may bo possible to save,
save that little," he says. "Tho
little you have saved will prove the
basis for an amount of credit utterly
surprising to you. Capitalist? trust
the saving young man. It Is not
capital that your future partner
might require, but it is the man
who has proved that he has the
business habits which create capi
tal, and to create it in the best of
all possible ways, as far as Btlt dis
cipline is concerned, is, by adjusting
his habits to his means. Boys, It is
the first hundred dollars saved
which tell. Begin at once .to lay
up something. The bee predomin
ates n the future millionaire. When
you begin to earn, always save some
part of It, like a civilized mat in
stead of spending all, like the poor
savage."
