THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
There is a place In the world and
a mission for humor. At times in
one's experience a bit of fun is bet
ter, more a means of grace, than a
serious sermon would be. Making
a friend laugh Is often the best
help we can give him. The New
Guide.
The Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell,
one of the foremost men in the Bap
tist Church, who is now 70 years
old and broken in health, got up out
of a sick bed and at the risk of his
life went to Keneseth Israel Temple,
in Philadelphia, to speak at the ex
ercises in celebration of the twenty
fifth anniversary of Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf's ministry there. It was
a great tribute to Dr. Krauskopf, and
It was significant of the breaking
down of barriers between sects and
denominations.
HARD TO FIND VETERANS.
When Speaker Alter came to look
over the House list for the selection
of the three members of the Sold
iers' Orphan School Commission,
which he is authorized to appoint,
he found the names of only three
Civil War veterans on the roll, Two
are Democrats and one a Republi
can, and he promptly appointed them
all.
John H. Rlebel, of Philadelphia, is
the Republican veteran, and he has
served on the commission for many
years. The Democratic veterans are
P. C. Newbaker, of Montour, and I.
B. Musser, of Juniata.
It comes as a shock to learn that
they are the only survivors of the
Civil War numbered among the Rep
resentatives Of Pennsylvania, The
halls of the Senate and House used
to be full of old soldiers, who did
not seem so very old, and now out of
all that throng 207 ineh only
three veterans are to be found.
Why, It seems as though it was
no longer ago than yesterday the vet
erans were so numerous and so im
portant that in a gathering of that
size, it would have been hard to find
three men who had not served in
the war.
rather than a Republican organ, for,
as we said before, such a gross mis
statement of fact could not proceed
from a Republican newspaper, we
are glad to note, however, that the
editor of the Press has subjected his
former opinion to the process of the
"recall," and now admits that: "Not
all judges, federal and otherwise, are
corrupt. We believe the great ma-
jority of them to be honest and up
right." So do we. That is why we
deprecate these savage and whole
sale attacks upon the courts that
have been made in recent times by
Bull Moose speakers and organs. If
a speaker or writer not learned In
the law, feels that he is competent
to criticise a certain decision of the
courts toased on an interpretation of
the law, and does so in temperate
language, there can he no possible
objection to it, though the worthless
ness of his opinion as compared with
that of the learned judges may be
plainly apparent. It Is the vicious
attacks that are being made on the
courts as a body that do harm. By
weakening the power and influence
of the courts and respect for the
judges, they weaken the protection
which the law gives to every citi
zen.
Finally, let us say, for the enlight
enment of our Pike county content
porary, that The Citizen, as a Re
publican newspaper, is entirely satis
fled with the selection of George E.
Alter as Speaker of the House. We
believe him to be honest and able,
the manifest choice of the majority
and that no proper Interests will suf
fer at his hands.
Ucan leaders are receiving from the
States indicates there is a disposition
among prominent Republicans to get
back Into the party organizatldn.
The third party movement -lias 'mado
little progress since the election.
Reports Indicate that & large per
centage of those 'who voted -for
'Roosevelt did so as a matter of pro
test and In many 'cases the protest
was against local conditions.
HOW JACKSON ATOTED.
During the strifefor chief clerk
ship of the House of Representatives
at Harrlsburg, Hon. H. C. Jackson
voted for Mr. Boyd, the committee
candidate, and on the third ballot
changed his vote to Mr. Garvin, who
was a candidate to succeed himself,
for which action Mr. Jackson is he
Ing pretty generally assailed by the
Democratic press, because as they
allege he voted for a "Penrose
henchman," yet the fact remains
that the member from the home dis
trict of Senator Penrose, Mr. Shern,
voted for Mr. Boyd on all three of
the ballots. Mr. Jackson has hosts
of friends In Wayne county, who
have every confidence In his integ
rity and honesty of purpose, and
who will not allow themselves to be
swerved in their' fidelity toward him
through an appeal to passion and
prejudice by the opposition press.
We clip the following from the
Tribune-Republican :
The campaign against Mr. Garvin
actually won him friends. Posted
prominently in the corridors of the
hotels and of the capitol were pla
cards, "Vote for the Penrose candi
date, Garvin." This placard was a
boomerang evidently, for Mr. Gar
vin took the lead on the first ballot
and retained it until he was declar
ed elected. All of the Lackawanna
Washington - Republican members
voted for Mr. Garvin and many oth
er progressives did likewise.
The activity of Governor Tener
today in the interest of Mr. Garvin
was no small factor In the success
of the chief clerk's campaign. It
was the Tote of H. Clark Jackson,
of Wayne county, who had voted
consistently for Boyd that finally
swung the election to Garvin on the
third ballot.
to Michels' mental condi't'loh ying
that ho did and said foolish things
and always looked back continually
when walking in the dark. Ho al
ways Imagined peoplo were talking
about him. She said she thought
he was of unsound mind.
F. X. Soete and J. W. Kelsch testi
fied as to Michels' unsound mental
condition.
The case went to the jury without
argument. The Commonwealth of
fered no objection to the pleas of
Insanity. Judge Searle told the jury
the circumstances of the lease and
he pointed out to them that Michels
had 'been to the penitentiary once
and It had done him no good.
The jury took a verdict without
leaving the room. It was, "We find
the defendant not guilty on account
of Insanity." Court adjourned.
TO CLOSE MONDAY NIGHTS.
Mr. Editor:
Permit me to use a few lines of
your paper to ask the merchants of
Honesdale that are open Monday
evenings to keep track of their ex
penses and see If it pays. The stores
are open all day and Saturday night.
Isn't that enough? Here's wishing
you prosperity with your paper and
trusting that you will take the mat
ter up editorially, I remain, yours
truly,
BUSINESS MAN.
THREE GASES DISPOSED OF
MONDAY
POPULAR CHOICE OF SENATORS.
The Legislatures of New York and
Ohio have joined the procession for
the popular election of United States
Senators, and it is probable that
Pennsylvania's General Assembly
will follow suit.
The subject was submitted by Gov.
Tener in his recent message, with
out a recommendation, favorable or
otherwise, but although there are
still many able men who believe that
the present method of choice Is the
better one, there are few, If any, who
are actively opposing the change.
It Is probable that the amend
ment to tho Constitution will be au
thorized by the necessary number of
States and that the Legislatures will
soon cease to exercise control over
the upper branch of Congress.
We have no doubt that tho new
method will result in the choice of
good men for tho Senate, hut wo
have yet to ho convinced that it will
result in the choice of better men
than have served there. The per
sonnel of tho Senato has not 'been
beyond criticism at all times, of
course, but neither has tho personnel
of the House, whose members have
always been elected by popular vote.
More depends upon tho good sense
of tho American people than upon
the means they select for expressing
that good sense in government.
VICIOUS ATTACKS DO HARM.
In a good-natured editorial our
esteemed contemporary, tho Pike
County Press, replies to our recent
statement that the Press is not a
Republican newspaper, else it would
not have 'mado such a sweeping con
demnation of tho courts of tho coun
try. Tho Press declared a few weeks
ago that "the many corrupt judges
constituting our federal judiciary
enables tho malefactors of great
wealth to prey upon tho public at
their will." If that declaration means
anything It means that all federal
judges are corrupt. For it is the
judges as a body, whether they be
many or 'few, that constitute the fed
eral Judiciary. It was tho extrava
gance of this declaration that led us
to class the Press as a Bull Moose
ROOSEVELT'S INFLUENCE AVAN
ING.
In tho discussion that has been
going- on quietly In Washington in
regard to the reorganization of the
Republican party Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho has been mentioned
frequently as the man about whom
the scattered Republican forces can
be rallied. Many Republicans pre
dict that Senator Borah will be one
of the most prominent candidates
for the Republican nomination in
1910,
'Senator Borah is soon to deliver a
dozen speeches In the South of a po
litical character. Ho will deliver a
speech on Lincoln's Birthday before
the Union League Clu'b of Baltimore
and will express some views on "the
reorganization of the Republican
party" that undoubtedly will attract
the attention of tho entire country.
Mr. Borah will follow up his address
with his speaking tour in the South.
He Is a Republican of pronounced
progressive tendencies, but refused
to follow Roosevelt in the last cam
paign.
Although little has been said re
cently of the movement to reform the
Republican party along progressive
lines, it has been making a rapid ad
vance under tho surface and In the
opinion of party leaders soon will
assume such proportions as to make
it certain that tho third party move
ment engineered by Col. Roosevelt
Is doomed to fall.
Tho new movement contemplates
the temporary elimination of the old
regular leaders and the putting for
ward of men of well known progres
sive views. In the Senate Borah of
Idaho, La Folletto of Wisconsin,
Brlstow of Kansas and Cummins of
Iowa will figure prominently in the
next session in connection with the
tariff and trust legislation. Little
will bo heard from men who here
tofore have been identified with tho
regular Republican organization in
the Senate.
The Roosevelt movement in the
Western, States has practically died
out. Tho Information that has been
received from Pennsylvania Is very
encouraging to tho 'Republicans.
Senator Works has been hearing
good reports from California, while
Senators 'Cummings and Kenyon of
Iowa report that tho third party
movement Is practically eliminated
In their State.
Senator La Follette Of Wisconsin,
is In the new movement. Ho avows
himself a Republican and undoubted
ly will play an Important part in the
Republican leadership In tho Sen
ate.

"BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS."
The advance sale of seats will
open at the Lyric Tuesday, Jan. 28,
for "Bunty Pulls the Strings." The
assertion that Lyric theatregoers are
vitally interested In "Bunty" is em-
phasized toy the fact that mall order
'applications have ibeen extremely
heavy during the past few days, and
it goes without saying that Bunty
will play to one of tho 'biggest en
gagements the Lyric has seen dur
ing the present season.

Sevcrson Case Continued,
The case of the Commonwealth
vs. A. F. Severson, who was indict
ed by the grand jury on two counts,
one for larceny and the other being
larcency by bailee, was continued by
agreement on account of an import
ant witness for tho defense ibeing
unable to 'he present on account of
Illness.
Morton Hincs Pleads Nolle Couten
dere.
The case of the Commonwealth
vs. Morton Hines was called and
disposed of. Attorney Ed. A. Do-
laney of Scranton, and C. P. Searle
of Honesdale, appeared for tho de
fendant. A plea of nolle contendere
was entered by the attorneys 'for the
defense.
Tho case of Commonwealth vs.
Ben Michels was next taken up for
trial. C. P. Searle appeared for the
defense and District Attorney M, E.
Simons was assisted 'by Peter II.
Iloff in tho prosecution.
The jury was composed of the fol
lowing men: D. W. Bidwell, Salem;
Oscar H. Day, Lebanon; J. B. Dy
mond, Waymart; B. S. Gillow, Man
chester; Oliver Hoover, Lake; Nor
man Lester, Manchester; Henry
Ludwig, Texas; Walter Malson,
Sterling; James Spratt, Buckingham;
P. II. Skelly, Texas; Michael Weber,
Texas; Alonzo B. Wood, Prompton.
T. D. O'Connell, the first witness
called, testified to knowing the de
fendant and identified tho check
which was offered in evidence. On
being asked In cross-examination
what was his opinion of Michel's
mental condition ho answered that
he thought Michels was not of sound
mind.
Edward Pearce testified to having
employed Michels and of his having
forged a check on him. Ho said that
In his opinion Michels was of un
sound mind.
Ben Michels sworn: He stated that
he was the defendant and lived in
Honesdale. I am thirty-six years
old. This is not my first offense
Didn't know I would bo sent to jail
for this. Was sent to the Peniten
tiary before. Didn't know I would
have to be sent back. I was out on
parole and was to report to tho war
den every month. Didn't report to
him. Know Wallinger there. He
was there for same offense. Wo
were chummy, I never owed him
anything nor never passed orders 'for
him. N. B. Spencer and Herbert
Bassett also testified to knowing
Michels and of his mental condi
tion. Michels was again called to the
stand and asked about his fear of be
lns arrested. He said that ho did
not Intend to stay at Carbondalo long
and would, have come back soon. He
said he was not afraid In the dark.

Four Jacksons Featured
at Scranton Motor Show
January 27 to Feb. 1st
Particular Interest Attaches to Six
Cylinder Model on Exhibit for
First Time.
Four cars constitute the Jackson
exhibit at the Scranton automobile
show and portray the entire Jack
son line for 1913.
The three models now being pro
duced are designated as the "Olynv
pic," the "Majestic," and the "Sul
tanlc, the first two being four
cylinder types and the last a six.
The fourth car in the exhibit la tho
Olympic roadster.
This is the first year of the Jack
son in the field of sixes, and for that
reason particular interest attaches
to the "Sultanlc."
This model is built in both five
and seven-Dassencer tvnps. It rn-
tains all the characteristics of form
er models that have helped put the
Jackson in tho front rank of easy-
riding cars full elliptic springs,
long wheel base, richly-thick uphol
stery, Turkish cushions, etc.
The cylinders are cast in pairs,
with enclosed valves. The power
plant is a unit, the clutch and trans
mission being enclosed in the same
housing with tho motor fls has been
the Jackson practice for many
years. The motor is 4x4 inches
and rated at 55 horse-power. The
wheelbase is 138 inches, with 3G
inch wheels and 3Gx4V. inch tlresi.
The wheels are demountable, and a
spare wheel Is supplied.
The "Sultanlc" and "Majestic"
both aro fitted with electric starting
and lighting Bystems, generating
current that is accumulated in a
storage battery, with independent
dual ignition sources. The "Olym
pic" carries a Disco starter and au
tomatic lighters in Its gas head
lights.
A characteristic of all three is the
scuttle dash, concealing the gravity
fuse gasoline tank. A gasoline
storage tank is carried at the rear,
tho fuel being fed hy pressure pump
into the dash tank, whence it flows
to the carburetor by gravity. Thus
the objections to a force feed into
the carburetor are overcome, and a
total gasoline capacity of twenty
gallons is given to each car.
The "Majestic" witli a four-cylin
der motor of 4x5 Inch bore and
stroke Is rated at 45 horso power,
with 124 Inch wheelbase and 3Gx4
inch tires. The "Olympic" motor is
4x4 inch bore and stroke and
Is rated as 35 horse power. Its
wheelbase Is 115 inches and tire size
34x4 inches. Both are fitted with
10 inch upholstery and Turkish
cushions.
A feature of all tho models Is the
generous room in the front com
partment and in tho tonneau. All
carry a one-piece ventilating wind
shield, set directly above the dash
and at the rear end of the scuttlo,
so that it is really an integral part
of tho car. All the models are com
pletely equipped, the two fours hav
ing demountable rims and spare rim
and the "Sultanlc" and "Majestic"
having electric horns In addition to
tho usual bulb horn. On all models
tho horns aro mounted under the
hood.
Our profits must come from playing the game in
