Some of the Progressive party
people profess to believe that the
third term candidate has a chance
to win Let's figure on it a minute.
In 1908 the Republican candidate for
president received 7,679,006 votes;
tho Democratic candidate received
6,409,106. To win Mr. Roosevelt
would have to receive a majority of
this vote. It is a trait of human na
ture that men cling tenaciously to
long established habits, and therein.
Taft and Wilson will Denent. nooso
volt running stump, or at the head
of a new party, is qulto different
from Roosevelt running within his
party as he did last spring at the pri
maries. Even presuming that two
thirds of the Republicans would
leave their party, which is Incon
ceivable, tho third term candidate
would have to got nearly one-third of
the normal Democratic voto to win.
As straws show which way tho wind
blows we suggest to our Bull Mooso

aider Just how many Democratic re
crults they have had at their two

"Nothing strikes a deadlier blow
at liberty than the insidious appeals
made in her name in times of public
excitement." There is much hys
teria, hyperbole and hypocrisy in the
present political campaign. Voters
should Judge of Industrial conditions
themselves and weigh well the argu
ments and motives, as well, of thoso
advocating a change. After election,
who ever may fill the offices, the
problem of getting a living and sav
ing something for the rainy day, will
be yours, still, to solve. How will
a change affect you and your house
hold? There are many preachers of
discontent. They decry present con
ditions but propose vague remedies,
and a great many arguments are sug
gestive of "sour grapes" and the
fable of the man with an ax to grind.

how tho settlers, among whom wero
her grandparents, who settled at Ml
lanvllle, were warned of the approach
of tho Indians and left tho fort
there, which was too small and
could be easily taken by a large
band of Indians, to go to a larger
fort farther down the Delaware.
They avoided tho river and tramped
across tho mountains, ono of the
family carrying a heavy sack of Hour
the entire journey. The Indians came
and found tho town empty and killed
cattle, sheep and hogs, and burned
every building but one, which was
left standing, and In that house, with
doors for protection against
Indians, Mrs. Millard was born.

THE PEOPLE'S MITE.
An Opimrtimlty for Everyone
to
Help tho Library.
There Is loyalty and loyalty. Ono
variety Inspires people to throw con-
retti or sit In tho front row and
shout themselves hoarse. It makes
t'hem believe that ours is the pro
gressive town and convinces them
tliat they are devoted townsmen.
Tho other kind of loyalty may mako
less nolso but when, for example, we
are requested to help establish a li
brary fund, this kind of loyalty noise
lessly drops its mite In tho hat.
At last we have an opportunity to
give real live expression to the in
terest wo feel In the progress of our
town and to prove which kind of loy
alty we have. When tho subscription
list comes your way and you have
any money for the library fund, or
know any way In which you can earn
some, place your pledge your mite
will be appreciated. If there Is not
a way open to you and you cannot
take an active part in adding to the
mite, your good will counts for some
thing. The general library committee, of
which W. B. Holmes Is chairman, met
with W. J. Ward and J. A. Brown,
as representatives of the school
board, last Thursday evening. A
permanent organization was formed
with the following officers: W. B.
Holmes, president; C. R. Callaway,
secretary; W. J. Ward, treasurer;
Marie Freund, publicity agent.
The committee decided to ask the
npnnlp. nf TTnnpsrialo nnd vlnlnltv for
S500 with which to nurchase books
for the Free Library, located In the
High school building.
The Library will be open to the
public two afternoons and two even
ings per week, the exact days will be
announced later. The subscription
paper will be started in a few days
and it is desired every one may give
something so that each will feel that
he owns a part of the Library.
AIUIOR DAY EXERCISES.
The Arbor Day exercises at the
Honesdale High school were attend
ed by a surprisingly large audience.
Following the suggestion of State
Supt. of Instruction, Dr. Schaeffer,
th,e program was given over to a dis

eral selections and the piano duet by

joyed as was the vocal solo by Miss
Blanche Pierce. Ten boys from the
Sophomore class recited selections
on the history, nature and extent of
the blight, and the aim and work of
tho Pennsylvania Chestnut Tree
Blight Commission.
Edward G. Jenkins, who Is a local
