THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
The realities of to-day exceed the
dreams of yesterday. Frothingham.
The Tribune-Republican likens
Roosevelt's candidacy unto a vaude
ville show in which he is the top-liner.
For once It guessed right, as few
thinking men aro taking Teddy's can
didacy seriously.
Six months ago Roosevelt was op
posed to woman suffrage. Three
months ago he was uncertain about
it. To-day he is for it, because he is
hungry for votes and imagines that
a good many thousand women will
force their husbands to promise to
vote for him, who would otherwise
cast their vote In a different direc
tion.
in an adjoining town, while a
ladles' card party was playing for a
two dollar book as a prize, the sons
of these samo ladies, (small boys),
were arrested in a haymow while
playing for a fifty cent prize. They
had originated a club like their
mothers'. Tho mothers cried and
said: "What a terrible place this
town is to raise boys in anyway."
Served them right. They might have
known the difference between a hay
mow and a parlor, and a two-dollar
and a fifty-cent prize.
Dr. Albert Robin, one of the fore
most bacteriologists of the country,
referring to tho spread of typhoid
fever at Newark, Del., declares it is
duo to the spread of typhoid fever
germs by flies. The doctor knows
the conditions at Newark thorough
ly. He says the water supply is ab
solutely pure but that the town has
no system of sewers, and that the
filth Is not carried away, but re
mains on the surface or in cesspools.
A large majority of tho victims are
thoso who live in houses where
there are no screens to the doors and
windows. When one caso develops
others are sure to follow because the
flies carry the germs from fllth to
the homes of the prospective victims
and deposit them on food over which
they crawl.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.
Tho reported announcement of tho
Republican leaders that tho courts
are to be asked to rid tho Pennsylva
nia electoral ticket of Its Bull Moose
encumbrances will bo refreshing
news to tho genuino Republicans of
tho State.
The chief Bull Mooser, when back
ed into a corner on tho subject of
tho inherent dishonesty of his at
tempting to run a lot of his electors
on tho Taft ticket, repudiated tho
Fllnn program entirely and declared
ho wanted a straight, square, honest
fight in Pennsylvania. But ho has
done nothing to compel Fllnn to
carry out his alleged desire, and as
matters stand to-day tho citizens who
want to voto for Taft and Sherman
aro denied tho opportunity to do so,
notwithstanding the clear intent of
tho law.
Let us have an end to this politi
cal grand larceny. If tho Roosevelt
electors haven't tho decency to got
off tho Republican ticket, tho strong
arm of tho law should assert Itself.
Harrlsburg Telegraph.
ROOSEVELT'S SLANDERS.
Theodoro Roosevelt, If ho Is cap
ablo of tho sensation, should feel
thoroughly ashamed of himself.
Yesterday at St. 'Paul ho declared
that tho nomination of Gov. Wilson
"was arranged by the Democratic
bosses," naming three alleged bosses
who did tho arranging.
the Citizen Publishing Compnny.
In view of the facts, known to tho
entire country, this statement is al
most tho limit of effrontery. One
would imagine that Mr. Roosevelt
was talking in Egypt instead of to an
Intelligent audience of Minnesota
farmers who read the newspapers.
It need scarcely bo said again, as
the drama was acted out before all
men, that Gov. Wilson won as a re
sult of the pressure of public opin
ion In his favor. No more grotesque
perversion of the facts could be made
than to say he was "arranged" for by
a combination of bosses, big or lit
tle. 'What is the country to think of
this valiant and knightly "fighter"
who does not know how to Dght fair?
Who keeps on repeating slanders,
hoping some of his mud will stick?
Incidentally, this cheap and false
talk, when tho country has really
serious problems to solve, is a meas
ure of the size of this champion of
"social Justice." Theodore Roosevelt
never knew tho day when he would
do common, individual justice, when
Justice would not work a benefit to
himself. New York Evening Sun.
THE NEW PARTY.
A number of honest, sincere folk
have a leaning toward the new party
because it is new. They are weary of
tho machinery of the old parties and
they are hopeful of a new era in
which there shall somehow be a par
ty voicing directly the better hopes of
tho people.
The course of events at Syracuse
Is a rude shattering of these Ideals.
Ambition, jealousy and machine tac
tics have flung out their banners in
the new party. And worst of all, the
hand of the boss has appeared on the
scene to direct the entire proceed
ings. This turn of events will doubtless
give a sad shock to the idealists in
the Progressive convention. But, in
truth, they havo been ostriches with
their heads In the sand in expecting
anything else. Tho political millen
nium is not here nnd cannot be hur
ried up over the horizon by singing
"Onward, Christian Soldiers" as a
campaign song. Until human nature
Is changed there will bo selfishness
and manipulation and dictatorial
leaders in political gatherings as in
every other sort of meeting.
What Is the bitterest pill, however,
for the sincere Progressive is tho fact
that their party not only Is develop
ing the human frailties of other par
ties but continues as it began, the
most completely bossed party that
our country has known. Its princi
ples were sifted, selected and chosen
by Theodore Roosevelt. It speaks
only as ho approves. So far from
being a direct expression of popular
will It Is little more than tho mani
kin of ono ambitious man. New
York Sun.
THE TREND TOWARD TAFT.
Governor John K. Tener has utter
ed a timely word of reminder that
there is a solid, conservative element
among the voters in Pennsylvania,
composed of men who "aro not talk
ing," but who undoubtedly will go
to the polls in November and vote for
tho re-election of President William
II. Taft.
It is tho opinion of tho Governor,
based on tho opportunity his position
affords for viewing tho situation
broadly throughout tho State, that
largo numbers of voters, who, until
recently, felt that tho only way to
defeat tho Hull Moose was to voto
for Wilson, tho free trade Democrat,
aro now coming around to tho con
clusion that tho senslblo thing will
bo to maintain their allegiance and
support the regularly nominated can
-dldato of tho regular Republican
party.
Tho Governor thinks tho situation
may work out much to tho advnnt
ago of tho Republican party boforo
November. In this viow tho Cover
nor stands with other careful obsorV'
era of events, who bollovo they seo
signs that tho hysteria of last April
Is rapidly dying out and that tho
trend of public sentiment In Penn
sylvanla, as -woll as throughout tho
country, is distinctly toward tho tick
et headed by our excellent President,
whose record of substantial achieve
mont entitles him to a second term
In tho Whlto House.
Only a portion of tho Republican
strength was polled at the April pri
maries, and It Is notorious that thou
sands of Democrats who In Novem
ber will voto their party ticket help
ed to swell the primary total for
Teddy. Tho solid, conservative peo
ple who did not take part In tho
primaries may bo depended on to do
their duty at tho polls In the presi
dential election In November. They
will vote for tho upholding of the
Constitution, for a government of
law, for the protection of the Indus
tries that give employment to mil
lions of Pennsylvania artisans and
laboring men. In other words, they
will voto for Taft. Harrlsburg Tele
graph. TIES HORSE TO FREIGHT
CAR; TRAIN PULLS OUT.
Cincinnati, O. Fred Vallmcr is a
farmer of Cheviot, O. On his farm
or any other place Vollmer was In the
habit of tying "old Dobbin" to any
thing handy, from gateposts to
pumps.
Vollmer drove Into Cleves, O., re
cently to look at the election bulle
tins on the constitutional amend
ments and Incidentally, to make
some purchases; but, llrst of all, he
must find a hitching post for his
horse.
So straightway ho went to the
most convenient hitching post, which
proved to bo a Big Four freight car.
After Vollmer had made his pur
chases and filled his system with
election dope he hiked back to where
ho had left his horse.
Several hundred feet down the
track ho saw a train gliding away,
and galloping alongside was Dobbin,
with tho buggy bounding behind.
Vollmer gave chase, caught up with
tho train and released his property
before damage had been done.
NEW ERIE TIME-TABLE SEPT H8.
A change In the Erlo time-table is
scheduled for Sept. 28. It Is stated
that tho Sunday morning Erie train
will be discontinued and that the
7:17 train will go back to tho win
ter schedule, that of leaving at 8:20
or thereabouts.
No mention has been made of the
discontinuance of the 8:08 Scranton
morning train, together with
tho Scranton afternoon train, arriv
ing here at 3:50 and leaving at G
o'clock. These trains, the former
only being run to Honesdale since the
summer schedule went into enect
last June, havo become very import
ant trains. They have gained a
large patronage and also give Hones
dale excellent mall service. The
business men of the town, banks, In
dustries, newspaper offices and In
dividuals of Honesdale, besides a
large number of peoplo residing In
southern Wayne county, make a
special appeal to the transportation
department of tho Erie company to
continue the Scranton trains. It is
the best service this company has
given Honesdale In several years and
it is indeed greatly appreciated.
We have been informed that the
Business Men's Association and
Honesdale Board of Trade have writ
ten letters to Erie headquarters in
New York telling tho company of
the Intrinsic value of their train ser
vice entering and leaving Hones
dale, and how much tho town prizes
their excellent passenger and freight
service. It is the earnest desire that
no change will be made in the opera
tion of these trains.

Money Back Catarrh
Remedy
Dosing the stomach won't kill Ca
tarrh germs. Neither will sprays,
douches, snuffs nor ointments.
The quickest way -to kill germs Is
to breathe deep Into tho lungs the
vaporized air of Booth's HYOMEI.
As this antiseptic air passes over
the sore spots infested with Catarrh
germs, It not only destroys them,
but heals the inflamed membrane and
stops tho discharge of mucus.
Then hawking, spitting, snuffling,
crusts In nose and foul breath will
disappear, and vile, disgusting ca
tarrh will bo conquered.
A complete HYOMEI outfit, which
Includes a hard rubber Inhaler, only
costs $1.00. Extra bottles. If after
wards needed, 50c; and Pell, the
druggist, Is authorized 'to refund
your money if dissatisfied.
