Honesdale. Pa., Oct. 2, 1912.
Hon. C. A. McCarty, Burgess,
Honesdale, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of Sept. 25th received
in which you stated that many peo
ple of Honesdale and vicinity wero
becoming alarmed about the unsafe
condition of tho Lako Lodoro dam.
In accordance with your request, I
appointed a committee ot three prac
tical men to Investigate the situation,
which they havo done. They looked
tho ground over carefully and 1
herewith hand you tho report of their
investigation which I am sure will
allay any fears tho people may have
concerning the dam.
Yours respectfully,
.MARTIN CAUFIELD,
President Borough Council.
To tho President of the Town Coun
cil of the Borough ol Honesdale:
Sir:
We, the undersigned, having been
appointed by tho President of the
Town Council of Honesdale, as a
committee to inspect the concrete
dam at Lake Lodoro, to ascertain, if
possible, tho danger of any outbreak,
and having mado the Inspection to
the best of our ability, beg leave to
make tho following statements in re
gard to the condition of the dam.
At several points in tho structure
there are leaks, the majority of
which are not largo. Two or three,
however, are of considerable size.
The ends of tho dam are In good con
dition and there Is no danger of any
outbreak around them.
At a point near the center of the
structure a crock runs entirely
through the dam from Uio Imso to
tlio top.. This, In our opinion, Is the
weakest point of tho dam. We
found two excavations below the
dam, and upon Inquiry, learned that
tiro LaKo Louore company were
building two concrete buttresses In
support of the weak points of tho
dam, ono of theso being directly be
hind tlio fracture. Theso are found
ed upon solid rock and toed Into the
structure. Tho blue prints of this
work wero shown, and according to
them, the buttresses will bo of ample
size and strength to support the
dam. Wo understand that this work
was recommended by iho State En
glneer and is being done according
to his plans and under his super
vision. If this work is completed
according to specifications, there
seems to be little danger of the dam
giving way. Tho old dam, lying
about fifty feet above the new con
crete dam, still remains. The bulk
head of tho dam being in place.
This bulkhead, we are told, is filled
up to a point within five feet of the
high water mark of the lake. If a
break should occur In tho new dam,
It Is claimed only five feet of water
could flow from tho lako, "which
passing through a width of only six
or eight feet would cause little, if
any, trouble to Honesdalo. This,
so far as It was possible to ascertain,
Is the present condition of tho above
mentioned dam.

i . ii. . . i . .
cuuul iuu oilier aay.
I voted for Taft in 1908." sa d
John, "but never again. We've got
to have a change!"
"That so?" rtesnonded the mer
chant, who was a thinking man.
'Hum? What s your balance In the
bank, John?"
"Oh' About J1.800 or I1.90&-U
near as I remember," John replied.
xant remember exactly, eh?
How much do you owe, John?"
he smiled.
"Got a nice place out there,
haven't you, John?"
iou ro right I have." asserted
John, emphatically. "Got a hun
dred and thirty acres of land, clear;
a good house and barns; nice bunch
of stock; horses and machinery. And
the finest crop the sun shines on."
"What did you havo when Mr.
Taft became President, John?"
"Didn't have a blamed thing,"
John admitted. "Made all I own in
the last three years."
The merchant said nothing. Mere
ly looked at tho man and smiled.
And kept on smiling.
Presently it dawned on John
Smltii what his friend the merchant
was driving at. He got red in the
face and fidgeted In his chair.
"Say!" he finally broko out, "I
hadn't thought of it that way. I've
never done so well In my life as I
have In tho three years since Taft
has been President. I wonder how
a change could help me any?"
Bill Jones (this Isn't his real name
either) lives In a big manufactur
ing city. And this, too, Is a true
story
Bill was out of work three years
ago His wife was doing washing.
one of his girls was clerking In a
department tsore, and his biggest
noy was selling papers, and doing
uuuiiiiK uu cuuiu to maKo a lew
pennies.
Bill the man of the house-
tramped tho streets day and night
looKing lor work, and finding none.
uauroaus wero lavlne off men.
mills wero closed, factories Idle.
The family lived In a small, low
rent, dark basement.
To-day Bill Uones has a steady
Job, at good wages. Ho has had It
for nearly threo years.
He and his family live In tho out
skirts of the city, in a neat, com
fortable cottage, with a flower-garden
in tho front and vegetables in
the back. There aro some chickens,
too.
Bill Is buying tho place.
The girl is going to school; and
tho boy Is learning a trade In an
electrical machine shop.
Bill has a lovol head. Ho knows
WHY business is good, why mills
and railroads aro all busy, why HE
has a steady Job, and Is happy and
prosperous.
Says Bill: "I've got all this slnco
Taft became President. I can't
arguo with you smart politicians
but I know which side MY bread is
buttered on. And I VOTE to keep
In power tho man who gave mo back
my job."
What have tho past threo years
dono for YOU?
'Havo you not a better salary, a
bottqr wage, a better Job; better
clothes, a happier home, and more
pleasures than you had before Mr,
Taft becamo President?
You havo It -because Mr. Taft and
his co-workers have been building
up not tearing down. Because cap
ital Is being freely Invested; trade
Is good; wages are gradually being
adjusted to new world conditions;
farmers are getting good prices for
their crops and are spending the
money freely.
Only four years ago, Just before
Pfbildent Taft was elected, there
was panic and misery. Capital
was tied up in safe-deposit boxes;
mills and factories wero closed be
cause manufacturers could not sell
tho goods they made; empty freight
cars filled the railroad sidings; farms
were mortgaged; labor was hungry
anu desperate.
In four short years Mr. Taft and
his associates havo worked wonders.
There Is much yet to be done.
'ihere are evils that are uncorrect
ed; wrongs and Injustices to be
righted.
But tho same wise and sane meth
ods that havo brought order out of
chaos, peace out of war, and plenty
out of poverty, can bo relied on to
continue the good work.
To tear off tho bandages, reopen
tho old sores, and destroy tho heal
ing that has taken place, -will only
Bet us uacK to wnere we were before
.Mr. Taft becamo President.
Wo want quiet, not blow and blus
ter; peace, not war; sane common
sense, not revolutionary or untried
tneories.
Continue tho careful, genuinely
progressive methods of Mr. Taft and
you Insuro during the next four
years, as during tho threo Just
passed, a steady advancement of tho
country's general prosperity.
You are asked to nut a charge of
dynamite under all existing condi
tions, witn the chance of improving
them; but tho sano man doesn't
take this kind of a chance.
Ho prefers tho slower, surer meth
od with which he Is familiar, and
the results of which ho KNOWS by
experience.
WHY, then, throw overboard prov
en cnart anu tested compass and ad
venture on an unknown sea?
You know what Mr. Taft has ac
complished during tho past threo
years. You know what tho policy
or tno next four will bo with him
at the helm.
You know nothing of what might
happen under tho Impetuous and dis
turbing Influences that hl3 defeat
would bring to a prosperous and
contented people.
To vote for Mr. Taft Is to Insure
a continuanco of pcaco and prosper
ity. To vote against him is to bring
on a period of experiment and the
ory tho end of which no man can
foresee.

Is a complete failure this year. A

who shipped 3,000 baskets ot peaches

his orchard this year. He describes
them as of exquisite flavor.
A peach buyer offered a fruit
farmer at Milton $50 for his entire
crop at the beginning of tho season,
taking his own risk as to what tho
harvest should bo. He got two
peaches. A farmer near New Ham
