JUSTICE FOR WAYNE COUNTY.
Wayne county conies Into the congressional Held demanding justice.
For more than one hundred years she has been deprived of her rightful
representation in Congress. For more than n quarter of a century the dis
crimination against her lias been notoriously unfair. A situation has now
arisen in which no other county in tho district can lay any peculiar claim
to the nomination. The only possible argument that can be used in favor
of a candidate from any other county is that it makes no difference which
county the congressman comes from so long as ho is competent to fill tho
position; that he represents the district ami not nny particular county in
it, and that therefore county lines are of minor consideration. Tills rea
soning is plausible but fallacious. It
and tho history of representative government. It is conceded by tho great
national parties that to select two successive candidates for tho presidency
from the same section of tho country would bo a fatal error.. .If a Roose
velt comes from the East, a Taft must como from tho West. If tho Presi
dential candidate comes from the West tho vice-presidential candidate
must come from tho East. And this is tho theory and practice down
through all of the representative offices for which our nationnl and state.
constitutions and laws provide. It must necessarily and of right bo so.
Human nature is so constituted. The system of rotation is tho only system
by which the people of nny political section can bo assured of tho preserva
tion of their rights. It is only now and then that a congressman from any
district becomes such a national figure and occupies a position of such
general importanco to ills party and tho country that the welfare of his
party and the country demnnds his continuous service in Congress. Ga-
Iusha A. Grow was such a national figure and county lincs might well have
been obliterated in his case. But at tills time no such question presents'
itself. Tho Republicans of tho district will, under any circumstances, nom
inate a man who is new and as yet
candidates nro'cqunlly competent, the question must of necessity resolve
itself into a matter of county representation.
AVayno county, like Jacob of old, lias served her seven years for this
Hachael, and her seven more, and still seven more, nnd now she will no
longer bo put off. Tho people of Wayno county, regardless of political
preference, feel strongly that the time
have in Washington, ns tho other counties in tho district have had for many
years, n representative who is no stranger to them, one whom they know
personally, who knows them personally, one to whom they can nt any time
go nnd be assured of an intelligent nnd sympathetic hearing, nnd one who at
tho same time will creditably represent at Washington tho best nnd highest
interests of his party and his country. They are entitled to this, they are
Insisting on it, nnd the day lins come when, in this congressional district,
tho voice of Wayne county must bo heard nnd heeded.
:0:
THIS YEAR'S AMENDMENTS.
Two constitutional amendments will be submitted to tho people at the
coming November election. Neither concerns vthe State at large. One Is the
proposed change to enlarge the borrowing capacity of Philadelphia by pro
viding that debt Incurred on account of revenue earning public improve
ments shall not be accounted In the present debt limitation.
It Is under this amendment, If adopted, that projectors expect to raise
money for subway building and harbor improvement, both of which works
are urgently needed, and both of which would be reasonably certain to re
turn a sufficient revenue to the city to pay the Interest on the debt and
provide a sinking fund for Its extinguishment within the thirty year period.
Tho other amendment provides for a consolidation of the Courts of
Allegheny county, the purpose being to secure a more equitable distribu
tion of business between Judges, which Is not possible under existing con
stitutional restrictions. As these amendments can affect only Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties, and they have been passed by two succsslve Legis
latures in deference to local sentiment, it Is reasonable to expect there will
be no considerable opposition to them in the interior counties.

"COUNTED OUT AGAIN'.'"
The Towanda Reporter-Journal under the editorial caption:
"Counted Out Again," has this to say:
" The HoneBdale Citizen, writing of the congressional vacancy In this
district, makes a strong argument In favor of the claims of Wayne
county. The Citizen offers the name of Homer Greene. None better
could be offered, for he is a man of ability and has distinguished him
self in more ways than one. But the hard fact remains that again a man
from another county will be named this time from Susquehanna and
Wayne will again be forced to take a back seat. We can offer no apo
logy, nor will we attempt to assuage the presumably wounded feeling of
the bowled out county or the retired candidate. It 'Is, we suppose, the
exigencies of politics, and our slighted neighboring county is simply
paying tne penalty of not being large enough to have enough conferees
to secure the nomination."
Our esteemed contemporary has stated the case candidly and cor
rectly. It has been made a question not of fairness, but of figures; not
of right, but of might; not of justice but of mere physical strength; a
penalty which, as our contemporary well says, Wayne county pays for be
ing smaller than her two neighbors. She presents a candidate whose fit
ness for the position is beyond criticism, she presents a claim tho Justice
of which Is beyond dispute, and is met, not with argument, nor logic,
nor reasons of any sort, but with the cold "hard fact," that by political
strategy, a majority of the conferees has already been secured for tho
Susquehanna-Bradford candidate, that the conference will be such in
name only, and that, In tho language of our contemporary, "Wayne will
again be forced to take a back seat."
We are not ready to concede this result. We believe that the as
tute politicians of our neighboring counties will, on second thought, hes
itate to force upon the district a situation which must of necessity bo
repugnant to Republican voters who love 'to see the political game played
fairly.
Undoubtedly they have the cards In their hands to beat us, but
can they afford to do it? ,

CONSUIT THE REPORTER.
Nearly all the private secretaries
of senators and congressmen, at
Washington were formerly newspa
permen, becauso these officials real
lze that a good reporter from the
very nature of his work is better
adapted than any other class for
this profession. The good reporter
is generally a master of a concise
style, a diplomatic method of state
ment, ability to grasp the salient
points of a situation, and a great
knowledge of human nature learned
from his mingling 'with all kinds of
people, classes, religions and busi
ness. This Isn't to'provo that the
reporter Is more intelligent than
professional men but his training
has been along lines that develop
such qualities. For instance the
world at large Is blissfully Ignorant
of tho extent to which many promi
nent citizens are indebted to the
reporters who interview them on
live issues. The prominent citizen
will indulge In a flight of words
that, If printed as he uttered them,
would make him the laughingstock
of all who read them and awaken a
desire in the breast of the Interview
ed one to shed the scribe's gore in
large quantities.
When a reporter secures an Inter
view he does not, save in very rare
Instances, write out -what was told
him In the exact words used. He
polishes up and trims off the ragged
edges, as It were, and presents to
readers a finished product. The in
terviewed one, if he has the saving
grace of common sense, is always
grateful for the changes made and
considers himself the reporter's
debtor.
The Baltimore Evening Sun pre
sents this matter so lucidly and ap
positely that we quote it. The Sun
uses the actual remarks of a man
besought for a pronunclamento up
on the school question to point its
moral and adorn its tale thus:
Don't talk to me about Van Sickle.
The scholars in the schools to-day
don't learn half what they used to
learn. When I went to school things
were different. To-day they waste
ineir ume on xnuun , mua pies an
such damn monkey business. I heerd
the other day that they don't learn
tho children spellln' at all no more.
I'm in favor of cuttln' out that fancy
stuff an' glvlu' 'em somethln' that'll
stick to the ribs. Have a cigar7
Say somethln' good an strong. Tell
'em Pm against It.
Tho interview appears In the pa
per next day, done into English by
the reporter, as follows:
No one can deny that the present
Imbrolgllo Is disorganizing the
schools and diminishing the effi
ciency of the teachers. Reports I
have received from parents convince
me that tho experiments attempted
by Mr. Van Sickle have failed to
Improve the system or to benefit the
pupils. Whatever the demerits of
the old curriculum, it at least laid a
firm foundation and gave the pupil
a working knowledge of the funda
mental branches. The new curri
culum does not accomplish this. I
believe a change in the office of su
perintendent would be to the advan
tage of the schools.

INSURING WORKMEN AGAINST
SICKNESS.
England three years ago estab
lished a system of old age pensions
provided entirely by tho government
at a cost of $G5,000,000 per year.
Now the government proposes to
add to this line of work by the fur
nishing of an insurance of workmen
against sickness and unemployment.
This Is not to provide against acci
dents, as the woTker in England en
Joys the right to compensation at tho
expense of his employer if he meets
with an accident in the course of his
work. It does not provide either for
insurance against death for most of
the workmen in the British Isles
havo policies with Insurance com
panies or fraternal organizations.
An outline of the provisions of
the National Insurance Bill is given
In the June number of the Bulletin
of Social and Economic Intelligence
published by the International In
stitute of Agriculture. The Insur
ance against sickness, it appears,
will be compulsory for certain clas
ses of workers and voluntary for
others. It Is calculated that the
number of workers who will be com
pulsorlly insured, if the Bill be
comes law in its present form, will
be 13,900,000 while 800,000 will be
voluntarily Insured, making a total
of 14,700,000.
The Insurance will be based up-
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the

deafness, and that is by constitu

ed by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will
bo destroyed forover; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
Is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces,
