WHY NOT HONESDALE?
Other towns are priding . thenv
selves as being great summer re-
sorts why not Honesdale? if the
people would awaken to the situation
Honesdale and vicinity could show
many, many advantages over Inland
towns that they would sink Into ob
livion.
With the advantages of the most
beautiful river and mountain scenery
in the State, practically on the
main line of two railroads and good
hotel -accommodations, with a num
ber of excellent sites available for
the erection of larco summer board
Ing houses, Honesdale and vicinity
could entertain thousands or visi
tors. It ought not be very hard
work to get them here either.
There are very few towns where
the general health of the community
Is better and the climatic conditions
nre usually satisfactory. While in
tho summer months wo have many
hot days tho evenings as a rulo are
cool thus giving the people some
rellof from the heat; in fact the cli
mate is about the same as you
would find in tho Poconos, ono of tho
most popular resorts for tho Now
York and Philadelphia people who
do not care lor the seashore, usual'
ly there is excellent fishing and there
is no place along tho Dyberry river

where there Is such a long stretch of
smooth water for boating as that
stretch between Fiddler's Elbow and
Beth Israel Synagogue.
If a little effort was 'put forth to
advertise the town It Is almost cer
tain that the publicity boosters of
the D. & H. and the Erie roads would
lend a hand as it would mean in
creased business for them. This
might be a matter for the board of
trade to take up as its success would
mean more business for the town
for a few months of the year at
least.
Where in thd State of Pennsylva
nia is there a more magnificent view
than from the State bridge, Main
street, looking toward Irving Cliff?
It is admired by the stranger and
lume folk alike. An Ideal place for
a summer boarding hotel. It is
hoped .that before twelve more moons
shine that a building of this kind
will have been erected by capitalists.
It will be a good thing for the mer
chants, grocers, farmers, and in fact
everybody will be benefited.
JUDGE STAPLES ON THE JOB.
Tho miscellaneous session of
court opened this morning with
Judge Charles B. Staples on the
bench. There was a fair attendance
of attorneys and others interested
In cases to be heard.
The judge was a little late in ar
riving and there was wonder why
as he Is usually the personification
of promptness, but after court had
opened, that mystery was cleared
away. The Judge said that while
ho was driving in his automobile
down the road in Nockamixon town
ship, he saw several men, employes
of the Philadelphia and Easton Elec
tric Railway Company, digging the
grass from the road and throwing It
into the public highway. He stop
ped his car and asked why they
were throwing the debris into the
road, and they replied that no one
objected. The Judge said, that
while the township had purchased
a road roller and a stone crusher and
was tlxing up the road, the trolley
company appeared to be undoing
the good work the supervisors had
done. He directed the district at
torney to notify tho trolley company
tnat it must at once remove the de
bris Its employes had placed upon
the pupllc highway. Doylestown

WHAT AVAYNE WILL DO.
Since tho nomination of Mr. AIney
tne Democrats have seemed to take
more or less pleasure in telling of
tho woes of Wayne county, how she
was scornfully passed by In the mat
ter of making the Congressional
ticket, and how Wayne county Re
publicans are going to got their re
venge for the way in which Mr.
Homer Greene ot Honesdale was
slighted, by voting the Democratic
ticket, and doing other uncalled for
and foolish things. Some Republi
cans may have believed them we
think not many. We can calm the
fears of any timid Republicans there
may be, and dash the hopes of the
over-anxious Democrats, by the im
partatlon of 'positive and most re
liable information. Mr. Homer
Greeno Is outspoken in Mr. AIney's
behalf, and is supporting his candi
dacy most loyally. He will speak
from the same platform with can
didate AIney at a large meeting
soon to be called. There Is no dis
affection among Wayne county Re
publicans, and we have the judg
ment of those Wayne counteans who
are best informed relative to the po
litical situation that the Republican
Congressional vote will bo as large
as the vote for the rest of the ticket,
and this Is saying a good deal, for
the Wayne Republicans have a
strong ticket this year, and aro go
ing to poll a heavy vote. All this
will be gratifying news to Repub.
Ucans throughout the district
Wayne will do her part. Let all the
other counties do theirs. Mr. Ainey'B
majority in the district will be large.
but that Is no excuse for even one
Republican falling to cast his vote on
election day. Reporter-Journal, To
wanda, Pa.
ONION SYRUP REMEDY
FOR
COLD.
When all's said, tho most reliable
remedy for a cold Is onion syrup.
October colds aro not easy to cure,
but tho good old plantation com
'pound will do tho trick. Sllco a red
onion, tile redder and coarser the
better, and sandwich tho slices with
coarse brown sugar. Put tho sugar-and-onlon
sandwich In a saucer,
turn ancther saucer upside down
over it, t'.nd lot It stand a few hours.
The result will be a thick syrup, to
bo taken' as often as possible. Its
sweetness Is so cloying you can't
drink much of It at a time, but the
more you drink tho sooner you'll get
rid of tho cold, 73vory southern

TEACHERS TO
GETS3 A OA!
To Attend Institute In
stead of$10 a Week
HUT IF ABSENT ARE FINED $li
WHICH MEANS LOSS OF $0
DAILY.
"This year the teachers are to re
ceive ?3 per day for attending In
stitute instead of $10 a week as
formerly. But If they are absent
the law requires that they should be
fined ?3 for every day's absence,
which means a loss of ?G per day
to them. At ?3 a day it would be
unreasonable for a teacher to ask to
be excused before the end of the last
session."
So said County Superintendent J.
J. Koehler, to a Citizen man, by way
of Impressing upon the teachers the
Importance 'of attending all the ses
sions of the Forty-fourth annual
Wayne 'County Teachers' Institute
which will bo held in the auditorium
of the Honesdale High school, Nov.
13-17.
The first session will be held Mon
day morning, November 13, at
10:30 o'clock, when the 244 teach
ers will be enrolled. Dally sessions
will be held thereafter, from 9-12 a.
m. and from 1:45 to 4 p. m. The
evening entertainments will com
mence at 8:15 p. m.
The Sixteenth Annual Wayne
County 'School Directors convention
will be held November 16 and 17.
The directors of the various
school districts in the county will
meet with the teachers In the High
school auditorium on the afternoon
of November 1G and use the same
Instructors as the Institute does.
The directors will also have a separ
ate meeting In the Court Room on
the morning of November 17, at
which time Dr. G. M. Phillips, prin
cipal of tho 'West Chester State
Normal school, will deliver a lecture
on " Important Phases and Sections
of the New School Code, and the
Duties and Powers of the New State
Board of Education."
Dr. Phillips Is secretary ot the
State Board of Education of Penn
sylvania, having been appointed to
that important offlce by Governor
Tener several months ago. A' talk
from a member of this new educa
tional board should be of special In
terest to everyone.
No doubt a number of West Ches
ter graduates teaching In Wayne
county will be delighted to hear of
his coming to Honesdale. He is one
of the most popular educators ,in the
state at the present time.
The school directors are Invited
to bring all their differences to this
meeting and no doubt Dr. Phillips
will be glad to give them the proper
Instruction. A general discussion
will follow the speaker's remarks,
" There are many more females
than males among tho 244 teachers
In Wayne county," said Prof. Koeh
ler. " There are seventy Normal
school graduates teaching in the
county, nearly all of whom are' from
Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, West
Chester, Manslleld State Normal
Schools. There aro thirteen college
graduates teaching in Wayne coun
ty.
" .Miss Vera Murray, who teaches
In Texas township, Is the only holder
of a State certificate. The rest are
divided among the provisionals, per-
manonts and professionals. The
number of provisionals is decidedly
lower this year than ever before
miss urn ma woouieater is one
of the oldest teachers in point of
service in Wayne county. She
teaches In Manchester township.
" It is hoped that the newly-elect
ed members as well as the present
incumbents on the school board will
bo present at this annual gathering
or tne sc'nool directors. H. J. At
kinson, Hawley, is President of the
Director s Association and A. iM.
Leine, Honesdale, is the secretary."
Important sections of the School
I Code will be contained In the Manual
tins year.
Speaking of the Instructors who
have been engaged this year, Mr.
Koehler said:
"The first Instructor, Dr. O. T.
Corson, editor and proprietor of tho
Ohio Educational Monthly, Colum
bus, Ohio, was here about fourteen
or fifteen years ago, and he is con
sidered one of the strongest insti
tute lecturers in the United States.
His line of work will be Methods and
General School Management.
"Prof. F. A. Barbour, head of the
Department of English, State Normal
College, Ypsllanti, Mich., comes
highly recommended from the school
authorities In Michigan. His line of
work Is Language and Literature and
English Composition. Dr. Barbour
is widely known throughout the
West and in the New England
States as an Institute lecturer.
" Prof. Thomas I. Mairs, lecturer
on agricultural education In tho
Pennsylvania State College, State
Colege, 'Pa., Is a new name. His
line of work is Agriculture In the
Public Schools.
" Prof. John T. Watklns, Scran
ton, who will have charge of the mu
sical department of tho Institute,
has Just as much of a smiling face
as he ever .had before, brimful of
music and sunshine. Dorln's Juven
ile Orchestra will appear ono after
noon. Miss Maude Rehbein will be
the Institute pianist.
"John Temple Graves, the great
Boutnorn orator, will deliver his fam
ous lecture "The Reign of tho Dem
agogue" before an audience of
teachers, directors and the irenoral
public ono evening during the Insti
tute. Henry Watterson says of him,
' Ho's tho most eloquent Southerner
of' to-day.' It's a rare treat for any
one to hear so noted a man as John
Temple Graves."

MORE AMBITION NEEDED.
" The America people lack ambi
tion, said James Bush to a Citizen
man Friday morning. " The world
wants more ambitious people, tho av
erage person Is too slack. Why, do
you know that in a number of differ
ent places where I sell shoes that the
merchant does not oven take an In
ventory of his goods. He does not
know what he has in stock. Many
times I have gone into country stores,
built a fire in the stoVes and then
inventory the merchant's stock of
shoes before selling him goods."
Mr. Bush is one of Honesdale's
wideawako citizens who is always
up and doing, is never found shrink
ing his duties and practices what he
preaches".
TO SECURE MORE LAND.
The Chicago park commission sug
gests to the city council that 100
acres a year of public park land
could be socured out of Lake Michi
gan wltnout cost 'to the city. The
way would be to allow contractors
who cart away ashes, cinders, ex
cavated earth and other material the
privilege of dumping the waste In
the lake, provided they build retain
ing walls at their own expense. This
would save the contractors the great
cost of carrying this material far out
In the lake. Properly governed, this
scheme would appear to be entirely
workable, and Chicago has need of
more park spaces. Her park area Is
3000 acres, against more than 12,
000 for Boston, and 8000 in New
York.
Treasurer
Mr. Wood enmo to Honesdale in
1881. Ho was superintendent of the
Honesdale Iron Works for ten years,
lie then organized tho National Ele
vator Works, raisins iSSO.OOO capital
most of which mis obtained in
Scranton. Tho Elevator Company
absorbed the Iron Works and lie
was made General Manager. Dur
ing "O years of his niaiiagomciit of
these concerns, tho records show
that over TWO MILLIONS DOL
LARS was spent for WAGES,
TAXES, BUYING PROPERTY,
ERECTING BUILDINGS, LUMBER,
and for GENERAL SUPPLIES.
This money went into the channels
of trade ol Honesdale and some of
it wont into every corner of Wayno
county.
Republican Candidate for
REGISTER & RECORDER
W. B. LESIIEH.
William Brock Lesher, Republican
candidate for Register and Recorder,
is a son of Austin and Margaret
Lesher of Sterling In which town
ship he was born, Oct. 18, 187G. He
was educated in the public schools
Newfoundland High school and
Scranton Business College. When
seventeen years of age he began
teaching and for tho Ave years fol
lowing he taught through the win
ter terms, attending Scranton Bus!
ness College during his summer va
cations, and graduated from the col
lege in 1898. His attainments as an
accountant and skill In penmanship
at once secured him employment as
a bookkeeper which position he re
linqulshed a year later to assist his
father on the farm, whose health
which had been poor for many years,
became worse and who, by tho way,
has been unable to do a day's work
since. Being without any resource
the principal care of the family fell
upon Brock, who has taken care of
their needs nobly ever since.
More than ten years ago he se
cured employment with J. E. Cross
of Sterling, Involving, besides the du
ties of general clerk, those of assist
ant postmaster, a position which he
still holds.
When Mr. Lesher was a candidate
for County Auditor, one of his
neighbors, a prominent citizen of
Sterling, vouched for him as a self-
made young man, honorable and up
right in his business transactions and
accurate and quick In his work. As
a County Auditor he has amply Jus-
tinea tnis estimation of his character
and attainments. Ho has made a
first-class officer, giving careful and
searching attention to the accounts
of our county officials, and tho state
ments prepared forNnubllcatlon by
him and his colleagues have been
models of accuracy and comprehen
siveness. His efficiency having been
amply proved by his record: hls pro
motion to Register and Recorder
I should be assured.

LADIES GO TO THEATRE
ONLY HALF DRESSED.
Women who come to the theatre
only "half dressed" and others who
insist on copying cioaks and hats
hanging In the ladles' parlors were
roundly scored by Mrs. S. B. Driggs,
who has charge of the ladles' rooms
ata prominent theatre in Cleveland.
"Some folks como to tho thnntrn
just half dressed;" she said. "They
come with their shoes half buttoned
and their dresses only half hooked
up tne Daclt. The powder they apply
after reaching hero and then take a
few dabs at their fingernails.
"Then they try to bribe me to let
them try on coats and hats hanging
in the check rooms," Mrs. Driggs
continued. "Several times women
have brought pads and pencils with
them and sketched hats hanging
just out of their reach."
Mrs. Driggs' husband, also em
ployed at the theatre, declared men
were also becoming careless In their
dress. "Forty years ago a gentle
man would never have come to a
play not properly dressed," he said.
"Now, they don't even get shaved."

CONFIDENCE.
Wo Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.
We are so positive that -we can re
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that wo offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost if
we fail.
We think that It is wortse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause a re
action. Irritate and weaken the bowels,
and make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may bo caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
Tho discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved tho labor of
skilful research chemists. This reme
dy produces results such as nre ex
pected from the best of the best
known Intestinal tonics, and it Is par
ticularly prompt In Its results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex
ceedingly pleasant to take and aro
Ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels, having, it would seem,
n neutral action on other organs or
glands. They do not purge or cause
inconvenience. If they do not posi
tively cure chronic or habitual consti
pation and thus relieve the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic ail
ments, your money will be refunded.
Try Rexall Orderlies at our risk.
