Rosenthal, the gambler of New York City, who on the eve of going before tho grand Jury of that state to confess that he, as a gambler, paid heavy toll to the police for years, was shot to death on the street by a gang of hired assassins. (Rosenthal knew he was a marked man ever since he decided to give evidence before the grand Jury but ho hardly expected fate to act under such circumstances. The question now arises: Who killed Rosenthal? Tho JJitrict Attorney says that the blame can bo laid at the door of the police department. The police say It was by his rivals in the business who feared the disclosures he was about to make. Some of tho as sassins have already been caught and other arrests may clear up the mystery. It is a fact that gambling has been going on in Now York city for some time under tho protection of tho police and the direct cause of (Rosenthal's death will probably le found to lie at tho door of tho police department, who feared their little graft would bo endangered by the disclosures and perhaps a prison term would be their lot. If there has been graft it will come out In the Investigation this week. A great city is not likely to exist without crime but It is hardly to be expected that the police force are in league with the criminals. TARIFF TO HE THE ISSUE. Mr. Oscar W. Underwood, chair man of the Committee on Ways and Means, recently expressed the opin ion that tho leading Issue of the campaign will be the tariff. No one disputes the fact for it is very evi dent that the tariff question will be foremost in the November elec tion. It is also a gravo question, one that every American should let sink deep into his consciousness, and realize that when he votes next No vember, he votes not for tho man who represents the party but for the principals that man advocates. He must also realizo that he must voto for or against tho fiscal system un der which our country has pros pered for tho last four years. The personalities of tho men must be considered, but those things appear less strongly in the foreground than does the isi-ue that confronts every one. Under tho present adminis tration tho country has prospered. Tariff taxation is intimately connect ed with the business of tho country. It protects tho homo Industries. Everyone bears evidence of tho many incidents of tho flight in prices when articles were put on tho free list. Woodrow Wilson Is a man of ad mirable qualities and wo have no doubt ho would niako an excellent administrator if It was not for tho fact that he Is a free trader. Ho Is tho choice of tho party which Is at war with tho protectlvo tariff prin cipal, and which Is tho persistent enemy of our manufacturing inter ests. He has oven proclaimed his conviction that, "tho Federal Gov ernment under tho Constitution has no right or powor to Impose or col lect tariff duties except for tho pur poso of rovenuo," and therefore, If the Democratic party should como into power as a Teault of tho No vember election, tho tariff schedule the Citizen Publishing Company. the poatoftlce, Honesdalo, Pa. PRESIDENT LAWAY .MANAGING EDITORS E. R. HAKPK.Vr.EKOU W. W. WOOD .1ULY HI, 1012. would be revised in accordance with that doctrine and whatever protec tive elements they p-ow have would bo totally eliminated. If tho Demo crats believe as they say they do that the government has no power to levy a protective tariff, how can they conscientiously refrain from adjust ing all customs duties to a purely revenue basis Just as soon as tho opportunity comes? It is evident that the tariff will be tho Issue alright and before tho campaign is over here in Pennsylvania there will bo many of the hero worshipers who are now suffering from hysteria will have regained possession of their senses.. DEMOCRATIC 1JOSS RULE. The Democratic state committee of Pennsylvania, following in the foot steps of the Republican Progres sives, has adopted a resolution which provides for the quizzing of their candidates. Each candidate for the state sen ate and legislature is to bo called "to file with the chairman of the state central committee, for publication, a written declaration of his approval of the various measures advocated by the Democratic party; and his pledge that, if elected, he will sup port the legislation necessary to carry the same into effect. And should the candidate fail or refuse to file within thirty days thereafter such written declaration or pledge, tho chairman of the stato central committee is authorized and is here by directed to publish the fact for the information of the electors." And are there also suspected trait ors among the candidates of tho Democracy? If not what is the pur poso of this particular big stick? Of what are the new Democratic leaders afraid that they use this method of whipping the candidates into line? The rank and file of the Democracy nominated their candidates for the stato senate and the legislature bo fore the state convention was held or the progressive principles formu lated, or the stato committee named. Nor had the candidates themselves any notice tliat they were to bo com pelled to subscribe to doctrines thereafter to bo promulgated. Now the new leaders propose, under cer tain conditions, to nullify the action of the voters of their party. What have the voters themselves to say about it? And suppose a candidate, nominated by .the people, should re fuso to comply with this demand made by he leaders? "What would happen to him? Presumably the leaders would set about to encom pass his defeat. This would result In tho election of a Republican for which we should, of course, bo duly grateful. But one cannot help won dering what the purpose and proper functions of a Democratic stato com mitteo are? It had been presumed that it was the duty of that commit tee to do all In its power to pro euro tho election of tho candidates duly nominated by tho Democratic party. But it appears now that this was a mistaken presumption. It ap pears now that It is one of tho func tions of tho stato coinmltteo to ro vlso tho work of tho voters at tho primaries, to make Its own selection of the candidates nominated whom it will support at tho polls, to sep arato the sheep from tho goats as It were, tho sheep being thoso who sub scribe In every particular to Its views as to who is a slmon pure Democrat, and tho goats being thoso who differ with its views in any particular. Tho goats of course are to bo driven Into outer darkness. Of courso this 1b not our funeral, but possibly somo old-fashioned Demo crat, who Is inclined to chafo under boss rule, will rise up and denounce this action of tho stato committee- as "high-handed tyranny." It will be Interesting to watch developments. John Smith Hilled. John Smith, a resident of Union dale, was Instantly killed at a lato hour Thursday night last, whllo walking along tho tracks at that place, by being struck by a south bound D. & H. freight train. Ho was sixty years of age. His body was badly mangled and death was instantaneous. He Is survived by his wifo and two daughters. TYPHOID IitHtKS IN WELLS. United States Geological Survey Ksuca Reprint of Report on "Un denjround Waters for Farm Use." Tho rural sections, long consider ed Ideal so far ns concorns the health of their Inhabitants, have been dealt a blow by physician in vestigators who maintain that two thirds of tho cases of typhoid fever In tho city owe their origin to Insani tary condltibns in the country and to polluted wnter supplies. Farms, which aro generally re mote from towns, cities, or other areas of congested population, would seem to bo almost Ideally sit uated for obtaining pure and whole some water, but In reality polluted water is exceedingly common on them and typhold-fover rntes aro usually greater In country districts than in cities. Typhoid fever Is now almost universally believed to be transmitted solely through drink or food taken into the stomach, and is especially liable to bo communicat ed by polluted waters obtained from shallow wells near spots where tho discharges of typhoid patients have been thrown upon the ground and subsequently carried down through the soil and to tho wells, and it is doubtless principally this fact that accounts for the disease being so common In farming regions. On a great many farms tho well Is located at a point that may be convenient to the dwelling, without any regard for tho possibility of tho pollution of the well water through seepage from barn or cesspool or through the circulation of water un derground. Information relating to tho underground movement of wa ter is particularly valuable, and on this account the United States Geo logical Survey is distributing a re port on the subject Water-Supply Paper 255 "Underground Waters for Farm Use," by Myron L. Fuller. Tho demand for this publication has necessitated a third reprint. A copy of the report may be obtained by addressing tho Director of the Survey at Washington, D. C. MRS. AMELIA ALLEN DIES AT 71 YEAHS. Widow of Dr. W. E. Allen Passes Away nt Clifton Springs Sani tarium. Mrs. Amelia C. Allen, widow of Dr. W. E. Allen, of 512 North Washing ton avenuo, Scranton, died Thurs day morning at 1 o'clock at the Clifton Springs sanitarium, Clifton Springs, N. Y. Mrs. Allen was aged seventy-one years. With her at tho time of her death was her daughter and sole survlver, Miss Julia C. Allen. The funeral was held Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the residence. Rev. J. D. Skilton, of St. Luke's Episcopal church, read the service, which was private Burial was made in the family vault at tho Forest Hill cemetery. Mrs. Allen's death has been mo mentarily expected since two weeks ago last Sunday, when Miss Allen was called to her bedside. For the past year she has been confined to tho sanitarium with a combination of complaints, which, with her ad vanced age, served to end a useful and beautiful life. On July 5, her seventy-first birthday, her mind be gan to fall and from that day to the hour of her death she rested in a comatose condition. Mrs. lien was born in Athens, Pa., July 5, 1841, tho daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Clapp. Mr. Clapp was a contractor of fame, having built the Bloomsburg railroad. Mrs. Allen was married to Dr. W. E. Al len in 18G5, to which union was born one daughter, Miss Julia C. Allen. Through the days of unrest among the miners, and days of struggling In a new community, Mrs. Allen's char acter was a force for good. Her life was one of devotion to her husband, who was destined to become one of tho most colobrated physicians and surgeons of tho state. For forty flvo years Dr. Allen practised medi cine In Scranton, sixteen of which ho served In tho chair of health of ficer, and in all this time Mrs. Allen was tho influence that prompted many of the charitable acts that have long thrived in tho memory of tho earlier residents of that city. Left a widow nine years ago, Mrs. Allen's health began to fall. Her dy ing words were for her husband, be side whoso body she was laid to -rest. t BEACH LAICE.

It has been twelve years since Christy Mathewson left Honesdale to take his place In the major league, and after twelve years of faithful work with tho Now York Giants, ho still bears tho honor of being the most feared twlrler that tho Nation al Leaguo has ever had. It doesn't seem like twelve years have rolled by since Matty was filling tho box for tho Honesdale team and making himself the Ideal of the Honesdale fan for years to como.

To attain his high record, Matty has had to keep in perfect trim at all times. (He has carried the brunt of tho pitching burden of the New York Giants for several years and his work has earn ed that team the title of a one man team. Here in Honesdale, where Matty started his wonderful record, we al ways consider him a local favorite. Everybody is interested in his con tinued success and hope that many more years of fame will bo his lot in the main circuit. INDIAN ORCHARD. (Special to Tho Citizen.) Indian Orchard, July 23.
