The secret of success Is constancy of purpose. Disraeli. COL. ROOSEVELT DISSENTS. The leaders of the Progressive par ty In Pennsylvania recently formu lated a plan by which they proposed to have the same list of presidential electors In both the Taft and Roose velt columns on the November bal lot, and whichever candidate received a majority In the state was to have the entire 3S electoral votes in the college. The scheme looked good to the Progressive leaders, they hoped It might look good to the Taft regu lars. The Progressive Scranton Tribune-Republican in a two column editorial, explained the plan at length and strongly advocated It as being fair to both parties and an easy solution of the ballot problem. But when the proposition was called to the attention of Col. Roosevelt lie would have none of It. And Col. Roosevelt is right. The plan is im possible because, in the first place, tho election laws of Pennsylvania for bid It. Those laws assume that the list of electors under any party em blem will vote for the candidate whose name appears on the ballot as the candidate of that party. And the ballot law specifically provides that the name of no candidate shall ap pear more than once on the ballot. This includes candidates for the of fice of presidential elector as well as other candidates. Col. 'Roosevelt is right, because an agreement such has proposed cannot be made by party leaders, and can didates for the office of presiden tial eelctor, so as to bind the votes of the several parties. The voters themselves must bo the high con tracting parties to any agreement of this nature. Neither the party lead ers nor electors, nor all of them to gether, have any power, authority or right to barter the vote! of the people of Pennsylvalna In that way. The humblest voter in the state has a right to have his vote for president go to the person for whom he cast it, and no one can Juggle with it in the way proposed, against his will. It Is true that Col. Roosevelt does not give these as his reasons for dis approving of the Pennsylvania Pro gressive programme. His reason is simply that the presidential electors In the Taft column are bound in honor, if elected, to vote for Roose velt, because he carried tho primaries In the state, and because the Chi cago nomination was stolen away from him by Taft. This argument has been so thoroughly exploded that It would be mere surplusage to attack it again. In the mean time there Is a rift in tho Progressive lute. Col. Roosevelt Is at odds with his Penn sylvania followers. The Tribune-Republican Insists that the plan is right and should be followed, notwith standing tho Colonel's dissent. Mr. Flynn is of the samo opinion. Will either side to tho controversy back down? Will tho Pennsylvania Pro- mandate of tho Colonel, or will tne colonel yield, for the time ue lng, his much proclaimed "princi ple," alienate his supposed Demo cratic followers in this state, and go along with tho Progressive proposi tion? Wo shall see. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. It Is alleged by tho Progressive leadors that one of tho principal rea sons for tho adoption of tho ballot plan on -which Col. Roosevelt has set tho seal of his condemnation, is that in this way tho Republican candi by the Citizen Publishing Company. tho postofflce, Honcsdale, Pa. PRESIDENT LAWAY .MANAGING EDITORS E. b. IIAHDENBF.noH W. W. WOOD .JULY II), 11)12. dates for congress In the state, as well as the Republican state and leg islative candidates, will bo saved. If the Progressive leaders are really anxious that these Republican can didates should be elected, it is not necessary for them to enter into any such bargain as proposed. They have but to endorse the candidates and give them the benefit of the Progressive vote. That, In most cases, will insure their election. This they will doubtless do so far as the candidates for state officers and for congressmen at large are concerned, because these are men of their own choosing. This they will also doubt less do' so far as those district can didates for congress, and candidates for the legislature are concerned who subscribe publicly to their prin ciples. As to those who do not, It appears to be still the purpose of the Progressive leaders to prevent their election if possible. That the candi dates are Republicans, duly nomi nated by their party before tlie time of the Harrisburg convention and adoption of a Progressive platform, appears to make not the slightest difference. The concern of the Pro gressive leaders for Republican can didates appears to be confirmed wholly to Euch candidates as align themselves with the Progressive par ty. If that concern is really extend ed to all Republican candidates, the process of insuring their election is very simple, and requires no bar gain or barter. The Regular Republicans will sup port all of these candidates im partially. If the Progressives will do the same no one need worry about their defeat. It is an interesting commentary on the wide discrepancy between the professions and practices of the Pro gressive leaders in Pennsylvania that they should have adopted a plan to control the electoral vote in Pennsyl vania, regardless of the rights of either the Taft or Roosevelt voters and without consulting them in the matter. It, has been one of tho foun dation principles of the iRoosevelt propaganda that " the people " must manage their own political affairs. In the face of this doctrine the lead ers f?ek to make a bargain between a few men by which the votes of the minority, either Republican or Progressive, by pure barter, shall go to swell the vote of the candidate whom the minority opposed at tho polls; and all this without so much as saying to the voter: "By your leave." The new party leaders, set ting themselves up as the especial champions and protctors of the rights of the people, have made a strange beginning. And what has happened to the sacred doctrines of the initiative and referendum? And what about the detested practice of "government by tho bosses?" WXS 1 1 1 NGTON LETTER. Washington, July 17. With the conventions over, nomi nations made and selection of cam paign chairmen, another fight for the Presidency Is on with tho re sult in greater doubt than at any election for twenty years. Mr. Taft would easily defeat 'Mr. Wilson if it were not for the insurgent move ment headed by Roosevelt and aided by a bunch of deposed olllco holders and disappointed office seekers whose whole aim seems to be rule or ruin. Mr. Roosevelt's claim of fraud is only a pretext and not founded on fact. Every one of tho disputed delegates who were seated and who voted for Taft wero honestly, regu larly and legally elected. This will bo proved 'beyond tho shadow of "a doubt to any fair-minded voter. At the very outset of the campaign the whoio question will bo thoroughly explained and In a manner that will convince anyone and overyono who will take tho trouble to Investigate tho truth. Senator Root, who was temporary and permanent chairman of the Republican convention, will explain tho matter In a speech In tho Senato while Ex-Senntor TJlck and others will Issue statements cov ering every phaso of tho matter. But what will appeal to somo as oven stronger evldenco Is tho state ment of Roosevelt delegates that everything was conducted fairly and honestly. For Instance, John G. Capers of South Carolina, who sup ported Roosevelt, says that that work of tho majority of tho national committee "was not ono whit moro sovero than tho steam-roller meth ods of four years ago." "At that tinio," he said, "In bohalf of candi date Taft and under tho direction of' ' President Rqosevelt, I wns ono of! tho engineers of tho machine and , helped flatten out tho minority of Hthe committee, who wero In the same condition when wo got through with them as wero the llfteen men at Chicago at this time." Again Mr. Roosevelt nnd his fol lowers do not appear In a very good light when It is known that he would have accepted the nomination If It could have been made by dele gates selected by methods that would not compare, as far as regu larity and honesty are concerned with those who nominated air. Taft. .Mr. Roosevelt started out to beat Mr. Taft by any method within his power, and failed, and then he simp ly refused to accept his defeat and proposes to unite his llttlo band, and as many others as can be brought in, in an effort to defeat Mr. Taft whether, as he says, he gets a single electoral vote or not. While Mr. Wilson seems for the time being to be the candidate of a harmonious democracy, he will not rally to his support tho people of the country who are Interested In its progress and prosperity. Mr. Wilson is an avowed free trader of the worst class, that Is, he Is an economic free trader who Is opposed to every vestige of protection to any American industry, who stands upon a platform which, liko the platform of 1S92, declares that a protective tariff is unconstitutional. This alone should result in his de feat without considering that in the past few months ho has changed his mind almost weekly If not daily up on the great questions of the day. To bolster up some of his present views he admits that ho has been wrong all his life and has taught wrong doctrines, but for the sake of expediency he is willing now to accept the socialistic and popullstic doctrines of the day in his hopes of gaining a presidency. CONSUMPTION NOT INHERITED. There are some people who still ask If consumption Is Inherited. It is not. Because a father or a moth er has tuberculosis does not mean that a child will bo born with the disease. The danger Is that the baby will contract consumption from its parents after birth. See that the child does not come into contact with the one of Its parents who has tuberculosis, and it will have a good chance for a long life. Consumption is not inherited. What is inherited is an unhealthy, unsanitary home. Clean up the house. Move if necessary Into a more wholesome neighborhood and you will give your child a better In heritance. Remember also that people usual ly contract tuberculosis because they are run down and delicate. Chil dren of delicate parents need special attention as to food, air and rest. Not everybody has money or in telligence enough to afford either good food or pleasant surroundings. That is why we have dispensaries and charity organizations. You may not have tuberculosis, but your neighbor in the next street may be suffering from It. Prove to him that his children will not inherit his dis ease by helping them to develop into healthy boys and girls. Karl de Schweinitz, Executive Secretary, Pennsylvania Society for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis. GOULDSBORO. (Special to Tbe Citizen.) E. F. Sebrlng, superintendent of the M. E. Sunday school, has arrang ed for some special doings ono Sun day in each month. Recently the mothers had a Sunday and last Sun day was men's Sunday. They intend ed to out-number the mothers and probably would have succeeded were it not that the Ice plants all worked that day and as a large number of men are employed in tho Lackawan na yard who nave to work on Sun day the majority were occupied, hence they fell behind the mothers, having 139 present, while the men had 133. However, their collection was larger than that on Mothers' day. A very interesting program was rendered. (Rev. J. H. Latelle, pastor of the Enbury M. E. church, Scran ton, and Jtev. P. S.

The care of babies In Summer is the subject of the weekly health bulletin Just Issued by the Depart ment of Public Health and Charities. Tho fulletln follows: Infant mortality Is always highest during the hot weather of the Sum mer months. It is during this per iod, therefore, that every safeguard should be placed around the life of tho baby to protect It from the dis eases which cause such a high mor tality, investigations show that of the large per cent, of deaths which occur In the first year of life, from CO per cent, to 70 per cent, are due to gastra-Intestlnal diseases, includ ing tho so-called "Summer com plaint," which are within the reach of preventive measures. The essentials to the health of the baby in hot weather are fresh air, proper clothing and cleanliness of food and body. The room in which the baby sleeps should be thorough ly ventilated. In suitable weather the baby should be placed out in the open air as much as possible, but not exposed to the direct rays of the sun. The impression that night air is bad for the baby is erroneous; as a matter of fact It Is better than day air and the baby should be given the full benefit of it whenever possible. How to Clothe Baby. In hot weather the only clothing required by the baby are a cotton slip and a clean diaper, unless a doctor has advised that the flannel bellyband be worn for protection to the abdomen. The baby should, of course, be properly protected against any sudden drop of temper ature by the addition of suitable clothing and bed coverings. Clean, pure food is an absolute necessity for the good health of the baby at all times, but the greatest care is required to supply It during hot weather. The mortality of breast-fed infants Is very small com pared to that of those artificially tea. for tnis reason the baby should not be weaned during the Summer months, and every effort should be made to provide tho wean ed child with a clean, wholesome substitute for mother's milk. Use only a good quality of cow's milk for the baby's food, and see that it ,is kept cool and clean until used. Wash the baby's mouth out after each feeding with a weak solution of boric acid; also thoroughly clean nursing bottles and nipples after each feeding. Do not use ninnies attached to the bottle by rubber tunes, as it is impossible to keep them clean. Guard Against Overfeeding. Guard against overfeeding both breasted and bottle-fed babies, es pecially in excessive hot weather. The baby Is not always hungry when it cries, but, like the adult, becomes thirsty and requires more water than usual during hot weather. Therefore, boiled, cool water should be given freely when desired by the baby between feedings. Never give the baby tea, coffeo or alcohol. The same degree of cleanliness should also be practiced with every thing that comes in contact with the baby, as with Its food and utensils for feeding. All of Its clothing and bed clothing, and, especially, its diapers, should bo kept scrupulous ly clean. It should also be protect ed from flies by screens or netting. Its body should be bathed onco a day with cool or tepid water; In very hot weather a cool bath twice a day is not too often. A sponge at intervals of three or four hours is of benefit, if the baby appears to be suffering from the heat. Keep a close watch on the baby's bowels. If it vomits and is fretful and has disturbed sleep, it needs medical attention and a doctor should bo called at once. WEST PRESTON. (Special to The Citizen.) West Preston, July IS. Mrs. Chas.

WERWOR.MS ON TREES AND SHRURS. " Webworms on trees and shrubs are very abundant and conspicuous during the middle and latter part of the summer," said State Zoologist H. A. Surface in his office at Harris burg, this week. He then proceeded to discuss this subject In a plain, practical way, giving tho results of his own experience during several years. Ho said "Webworms are commonly but wrongly called 'Tent caterpillars.' The latter live In lit tle tents at the forks of branches or only a few kinds of trees, and craw1 out from under the tents to feed on the leaves, returning to the tents for protection. Webworms spin loose silken webs over tho leaves and feed Deneath them. These are not firm tents and are not constructed In the forks of the trees. The Tent caterpillars feed In the early part of the summer, while the Webworms begin about midsummer. Tho lat ter feed on many kinds of trees and shrubs, and effect a great deal more destruction than do tho Webworins for the reason that they remove the follago at a time of year when it la especially needed to help form buds for next year's fruit or leaves. A second growth of leaves and twigs is liable to occur where It has bseu defoliated by Webworms, but this may be so late and tender as to bo killed by winter freezing easier than twigs that were formed ear'y and became hard before winter. It is certain that Webworms show gross carelessness on the parts of ownsrs of shrubbery and orchards. These should bo removed promptly as soon as seen. "The best treatment Consists In stripping them from the trees where they are found. This can be done by hand, either with or without a glove. Pruning off the Infested part Is allowable, only when It will not deform the tree." Menner & Co.'s Made-up Goods Departments aro offering special sales in summer goods In all lines. 55ei 8.
