THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Silence is Golden.
To speak wisely may not always be
easy, but not to speak ill requires
only silence.
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The platform adopted by the
Chicago Convention is one upon
which every American citizen who
professes and supports the principles
of the Republican party can consist
ently and contentedly stand. It is
conservation In those respects where
conservation Is essential to the
safety and welfare of the Nation and
to the preservation of the fundamen
tal bases upon which our govern
mental institutions were originally
established and upon which they
have ever since been unswervingly
maintained. At the same time It
responds at every point to the exi
gencies of the new conditions which
have been created 'by the social and
industrial development of the age in
which we live. It recognizes tho
just and reasonable demand that the
affairs of the country should be ad
ministered in such a manner as to
promote the greatest happiness of
the greatest number and to insure
to the humblest citizen that equality
of opportunity to which before the
law he Is entitled.
ADVERTISING AND THE MER
CHANT. From the tone of a recent editor
ial In tho Fulton (Ind.) Leader, tho
editor has had the experience of
many others of the craft in trying
to convince some of tho merchants
of his town of the value of newspa
per advertising, and his views will
no doubt be generally seconded. Ho
writes:
"If a man is 111 he consults a phy
sician sooner or later, takes the
medlcino left for him and follows
tho advice given. If a man has an
animal ailing he sends for a veter
inary and follows directions implic
itly. It tho eye, ear, throat or lungs
give warning that all Is not working
mechanically a specialist Is at onco
consulted and every effort used to
have the delicate mechanism read
justed. "So on all through tho list tho
man that has made tho study of
what each individual wants is con
sulted, what ho says goes, tho price
paid and that is tho end of it with
one exception, and that Is the busi
ness man, when his business flags,
Is tottering or showing signs of be
ing unhealthy, docs he consult tho
editor, tell his troubles and ask ad'
vice, pay the prlco and follow Instruo
tlons? No! 'He rushes to tho news
paper with yard-long advertisements,
dry statistics, without ono bright,
catchy Idea In It anywhere to hold
the reader, Jews the editor to tho
lowest cent possible to have It pub
Hshed, has another one just like It
put Into the next paper, then talks
llko a 'pirate' because tho country
people and town folks did not break
the windows and doors of his estab
lishment to get tho Identical goods at
tho very samo prices that they know
by heart an,d havo seen for a year or
more on his counters.
''In tho first, last and all times
and places tho public wants to bo
amused, to bo entertained, wants to
bo 'shown.' Tho newspaper people
havo mado this a study and It you
glvo them tho ideas, tell them tho
truth (which they know by Intuition
anyway) glvo them license to uso
this Information their way and paid
them, making It 'worth their while
to uso their brains, merchants would
soon sco what advertising really
means.

churches or for charitable purpose!
"Tho average business man steps
Into the newspaper offlco and with
a curt goou morning nanus nn au-
and says 'What is tho least you will
insert this twice or three times
for?' So much! Why tho other papor
will let It go four times for that. It
Is always haggle about the price.
Never I You go ahead. Here aro tho
facts and don't mind tho price. My
business is sick and It needs a spec
ialist and you aro my choice. If
suggestions aro offered the first thing
is how much will it cost. Oh, that's
more than I care to pay. You hear
men 'supposed' to bo good business
men say, oh, I don't believe in adver
tising. They know where I am.
But sooner or later they rush to the
newspaper people with tho beginning
of their obituary and later with the
notice of the sale of their store.
"Advertise every week bright,
snappy items at -the right price. Give
tho people a bargain each Saturday.
Don't enter the newspaper office with
constant cries if you are too high In
your prices. I didn't get any results
from those two-week ads. Keep
your goods with right prices written
in a spicy, enthusiastic way before
the public and they'll bring results.
When you advertise six times a year
tho people are not expecting you and
are so surprised they Just forget and
go to the ones tnat advertise con
stantly.
"Blame yourselves, Mr. Small
Town Business Man, for the parcels
post and mall order houses. You
aro tho one to blame. Give your
editor a chance to show you results
from right advertising. Why Is It
you hate to give him his price,
which Is standard, when It benefits
yourself and your town, and yet you
are willing to pay any other firm
what they ask?"
THE CONVENTION'S WORK.
The renominatlon of President
Taft was tho great achievement of
the Chicago convention. Tho rest -is
little more than routine. If a can
didate for Vice-President could have
been found whoso nomination would
have conciliated any disappointed
faction and added strength to the
ticket, it would havo been good poll
tics to have nominated him, but
none such appearing there was no (
sound reason why the ticket of four
years ago should not bo renominat
ed In Its entirety.
James S. Sherman Is as strong 'De-
fore the country now as ho was then.
In the expeditious disposition of
business In the Senate and in decid
ing promptly and authoritatively the
parliamentary questions that come
before it, tho Senate has never had
a better presiding olllcer than tno
present Vice-President. It Is unusu
al to renominate a Vice-President,
and therefore, it is much in air.
Sherman's favor that he has gained
esteem and appreciation In a posi
tion where public men In tho four
years uneventful service usually
lose both.
Tho platform adopted at Chicago
Is a thoroughly Republican declara
tion of principles, but It shows in
nearly every paragraph some in
fluenco of tho agitation, recrimina
tions and professions that charac
terized tho stormy prelude and the
early sessions of this year's Conven
tion. Abraham Lincoln, who has
been so frequently cited In tho last
two months, Is held up to admira
tion and Imitation In tho declaration
for his "broad statesmanship and
tolerant spirit towards men."

Scranton and I.ako Ariel Road Pro
moters Willing to Pay for

Tho promoters of the Scranton
nnd Lake Ariel iRallway company,
through their attorney, A. G. Ruther
ford, havo offered to tho Scranton
council an amendment to tho frnn
chlne they seek for tho right to lay
their tracks In Scranton, by which
they agree to pay a graded yearly
tax on their gross receipts In return
for tho franchise. Tho offer of pay
for a franchlso Is ono of tho first
that has been mado to tho council.
Tho amendment tacked on tho
franchlso ordlnanco which is now In
tho hands of tho public works com
mltteo of council follows:

under this franchise, tho Scranton &
Lako Ariel Railway company shall
pay into tho city treasury of tho
city of Scranton, a tax upon Its gross
receipts, carried upon that portion of
Us road as specified in this ordin
ance, for the preceding year In the
manner following
During tho first

per centum of Its gross receipts and
at tho end of each and every suc
ceeding year the company shall pay
Into tho city treasury an annual tax
of ono per centum of Its gross re

Complains About Acid in Water.
Mr. Editor:
I think It Is about tlmo something
wns done concerning the emptying of
or allowing tho acid from factories
upon tho Dyborry to get Into that
stream. My cows have refused to
drink tho water and when they did,
before It became so bad, It gave thorn
rheumatism and tainted the milk and
butter, making it Impossible for mo
to sell tho same.
'Aside from this the banks along
the Dyborry of late have been strewn
with dead fish, largo ones at that.
They He there and the stench arising
from them is anything but pleasant.
Is there no ono to whom tho peo
ple living along this river enn apply
for aid or protection?
Yours truly,
DYBERRY FARMER.
Dyberry, Pa., June 20, 1912.
Politically Dcd, London View
of
Third Term Man.
Tho London newspapers send
Roosevelt to tho political graveyard
with scant words of eulogy.
Tho Dally News says: "The ma
chine did no more than It always
does, or than Roosevelt taught It to
do when he forced Taft s nomination
four years ago."
The Standard says: "Ills hat has
been kicked Ignomlnlously out of tho
ring. His passionate urglngs to -his
followers to seize tho convention by
force frightened his calmer lieuten
ants, for a dim vision of 'the man on
horseback' began to be seen In his
mad plan."
The .Dally Express says: "If at his
last nomination Mr. Bryan had stood
on the Roosevelt platform, even he
would havo been howled down as a
wild man. Roosevelt seems to havo
achieved the ruin of the Republican
party."
The Morning Post says: "Failure
Is failure, and Roosevelt has failed.
Taft has done good work, and it is
absurd to protend he is tho tool of
moneyed Interests."
The Graphic says: "That Roose
velt can gain anything by his bolt
except the ruin of his party is ex
tremely doubtful. He cannot hope
to carry more than an Ineffective
minority with him."
The Daily Chronicle says: "Taft
Is an able statesman, but not a poli
tician. In a straight fight no Demo
crat is Roosevelt's match at captur
ing tho radical vote, but as the can
didate of a new party his chances
are impossible to forecast."
The Times says: 'Roosevelt's fail
ure In the convention has been
complete, not only with the stal
warts of the regular party, but with
tho moderate progressives, who,
accepting his principles, deprecate
his action in splitting the convention
and have refused to join him."
No Longer Doubts- Veracity of
Scribes.
I have been disposed to doubt
some of tho animal and reptile
stories that come from the Monroe
county correspondents. It has al
ways seemed to mo that the trappers
of the Stroudsburg newspapers were
laying It on rather thick at times
In tho efforts to outdistance Ed.
Mott and the other Sun bear story
writers. However, when Prof. So
gulne, one of the owners of tho Wil
low Dell Hotel at Water Gap, came
in and exhibited to his astonished
guests a live red squirrel which he
had caught with his bare hands and
was holding by tho ears to avoid en
countering Its teeth, I was obliged
to confess that tho Monroe county
young men must bo quicker than
greased lightning when after small
game. Any one who has ever seen
a red squirrel in motion can imagine
the agility that must have been dis
played In picking up tho little ani
mal. This is a true one, and I am
not going to question the hunting
stories that appear In the StroudS'
burg papers hereafter. Scranton
