Religion is my invisible shield
against moral evil, against the cor
ruption of the mind, against the de
filement of the soul. As there are
specifics for tho preserving of the
cleanliness of the body, so Is religion
for tho preservation of the mind; and
it protects the intelligence from be
ing lncrusted with layer upon layer
of sin. Religion is an invaluable
curb on that Inner nature of man
which longest remains barbarious
and uncivilized. Henry Morton
Stanley.
I am going to tako the Postoffice
Department out of politics if I can
find a way to do It. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson. Can he take the poll-
tics out of the Postofflce Depart
ment? What else than politics is that
Department for? The postal service
has long been incidental.
JUSTICE DONE TO HAWTHORNE
AND MORTON.
Any other result than the convic
, tion of the defendants Freeman,
Morton and Hawthorne In the notori
ous Canadian mining case would
havo been a perversion of justice.
There can be no doubt that the son
of America's beloved author and the
son of the discoverer of the anaesthe
tic properties of other passed through
a painful ordeal in the long drawn
out trial, but sUspehsioh of sentence
in their cases would havo been an
affront to the law. Public opinion
would have been outraged.
The penal part of a statute is for
wrongdoing men who bear honored
and 'historic names as well as for the
obscure man who transgresses.
If Julian Hawthorne and Dr. Wil
11am J, Morton have suffered ignom
iny, the Investors In their disreput
able enterprise were swindled and
despoiled, and they too have suffer
ed. No sentiment and very little
pity would go out to the defendants
if tho hereditary appeal could not be
made for them. It does not mitigate,
it aggravates their offence. There
is a difference between sentiment and
sentimontallty,
" The court knows tho facts in the
case," said District Attorney Wise
when he declined to join in the ap
plication of tho defendants' lawyers
for suspension of sentence. The evi
dence in the case was presented with
such fulness and so fairly that the
public also knows the facts. It be
lieves that tho verdict rendered re
luctantly by the jury was just.' New
York Sun.
THE FACTORY BEAUTIFUL.
How John Ruskin would rejoice at
the news from Chicago that tho
United States Steel Corporation was
going to try to turn its plants into
Spotless Towns! His was a voice
crying In the wilderness over tho way
modern Industry had befouled the
streams of England, obscured tho sky
and converted green fields into moun
tains of rubbish.
(Now comes the steel company
proposing to abolish tho grimy work
shop, even for one of tho most grimy
of industries; to clear up all the dirt
and refuse about tho plants, to re
duce tho smoke as far as may be,
and defy dirt, not by concealment,
but by white paint, which puts neat
ness on its mettle. And It does this,
not in tho name of art and beauty,
but in practical efficiency and safety.
Therein Is the hopo of making the
manufacturing town less often than
It is a defilement of the earth. The
ash-strewn mill yard, tho dirt-stained
factory yjalls, the sewage-laden
stream, tho refuse-piled vacant lots
among tumbledown laborers' cot
tages aro an economic crime. They
mean waste, unintolligenco, slovenly
work, depression and consequent bad
habits among tho workmen, which
in tho ond the industry pays for,
Quick dividends may come out of
dirt and disorder, but at tho cost of
human character, and no Industry is
on a sound moral or even business
basis which does not make for tho
happiness and advancing civilization
of thoso whoso lives It puts Into its
products.
iTho grime of industry is nlne
tenths merely a tradition of slovenli
ness, tolerated through ignorance.

BOOSTING ISN'T A ONE-MAN JOB
It appears to be considerably tho
duty of newspapers to boost and
keep on boosting for tho town and
its business men, its institutions,
schools, churches, theatres and so
forth.
But how often do the residents of
a town or community let themselves
be heard boosting for tho local pa
per? A local paper should boost for
its town and its business men. It is
its editor's duty, becauso tho paper
derives at least seventy-five per cent,
of Its support from home people of
which it Is a part. It is tho duty of
every man, woman and child within
the city limits to stand stalwart, for
their town and say a good word and
do a good act whenever an oppor
tunity presents itself and in this a
newspaper should ever bo found in
the front ranks with such a band of
town boosters. As has been said a
newspaper gets much of its support
from the town and tho community
and thus in return owes Its support
to the town, but what can be said of
tho printer may be said of tho grocer,
uiu uuiciier, mo ciotmor, tho res
taurateur, tho dry goods man, the
tailor, the miller and any other who
may como to mind. You owe a debt
of gratitude to your fellow merchant
for being here, for what would the
place amount to with only ono busi
ness house? What would there bo
hero to attract people and Induce
them to build comfortable homes, to
pay taxes for town improvements,
etc.? On the other hand, people from
tho country realize that tho town is
a great boon to them and adds
greatly to the price of their products
and to the land on which the product
has grown, whether their stock is
consumed hero or shipped to other
places.
The merchant has much of his
stock shipped in, yet a largo portion
of his trade is in that which ho has
purchased at home from tho farmer
or the villager, thus deriving tho pa
tronage of everyone. The farmer
gives his patronage to tho merchant
and the merchant to the farmer.
Each is enabled to make a profit and
all is serene.
Yet there are merchants who will
not patronize each other, who will
send away for their printing, hard
ware, groceries, furniture, harness,
drugs, etc. Some oven uso safety
razors rather than patronizo tho bar
ber, will walk or go by train rather
than give the local Everyman his fee
and will ship in potatoes, cabbages,
onions, apples, etc., rather than buy
from tho local gardens and farmers.
This is not all, though, for tho mer
chant complains that tho farmer
buys goods in some largo city and
will not spend the cash he has earn
ed here with local people. It's a
sad condition of affairs with a cure
hard to find. One merchant states
that tho trouble is an easy ono to
overcome if all will unite in a deter
mined effort to make the country
ideal; co-operate in good roads and
ever boost and work for one another.
Let us ono and all make it a resolve
to help our neighbor, advertise our
country, boost our town, build new
roads, and In fact co-operato in overy
manner possible. Wellsboro Advo

HARRISBURG LETTER
The new Ehrhardt county asses
sors bill, badly mangled and hardly
recognizeu, as compared with tho
original, passed second reading in
the house. It was amended so that
in its present form, if enacted, it
wouiu apply oniy to Lackawanna
county, It was also amended so that
tho commissioners can appoint only
seven assessors, except in triennial
years, when five others are to bo ap
pointed. Originally, the bill called
for tho appointment of twelve. It
also mado it apply to Schuylkill and
Westmoreland counties, for it pro
vided that it should affect counties
having a population of not less than
200,000 nor more than 325.000.
Schuylkill has 207,000 and West
moreland, 231,000.
Lackawanna has 259,000, so the
bill was amended to read "not less
than 250,000 nor more than 325,
000." Opposition from Schuylkill
and Westmoroland counties was re
sponsible for tho change.
AVhito Slavery to Meet.
Tho Illinois senate committeo
probing white slavery and low wages
paid women will be hero and confer
with Governor Tener, Speaker Alter
and others in a few days, assisting in
outlining a bin to provide for a Ponn
sylvania investigating commission
From here the committee will go to
Washington to confer with President
Wilson.
The Illinois commission will prob
ably noici Hearings m Pittsburg and
Philadelphia.
M. Blair Coan, investigator for tho
probe committee, is here now and
has made arrangements for the con-
ference. Ho reports that the com-
mission has received letters from
hundreds of Pennsylvania working
gins asKing tnem to como here and
hear their stories of wages, working
conditions, and the temptations of
steel mill and other Industrial work
ers in this state.
WO.MAN SUFFRAGE.
Harrlsburg, March 20. Suffrage
matters again held the center of the
stage in the Legislature this week,
dividing attention only with the sev
eral bills before the 'Legislature pro
posing to create a public utilities
commission.
'Senator Francis S. Mcllhenny,
chairman of the Senate committeo on
Judiciary General, said in an inter
view at Harrlsburg last week that
he believes the Rockwell resolution
will be passed by the Senate. Such
an attitude on the part of Senator
Mcllhenny is a complete change
from his attitude of as recently as
one month ago when ho was suspect
ed by suffragists, apparently with
justification, of being so opposed to
equal suffrage that he was danger
ously near tho line of unfairness in
treating tho Rockwell resolution.
Senator Mcllhenny says that tho
demonstration at Washington, D. C,
on March 3rd has had a great in
fluence. Tho rowdy tactics of
spectators during tho suffrage par
ade In Washington," said Senator
Mcllhenny, " directed the attention
of many people to the equal suffrage
movement who had not regarded it
seriously before. Tho demonstra
tion seems to havo had the effect of
convincing many opponents of suf
frage for women of the justice of the
demand." Senator Mcllhenny was
asked if the Senate Judiciary Gen
eral Committee would report the
Rockwell resolution favorably. "I
cannot answer that question," ho re
plied. " Tho Senators voto for them
selves." The Pennsylvania Suffrage News,
the monthly official organ of tho
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage As
sociation, completed its first volume
of twelve numbers with the March
issue, which has been mailed to sub
scribers. At the same time it has
been discontinued. Owing to tho
altered condition of the Suffrago
movement, the State Executive Com
mittee at its monthly meeting in
Harrlsburg on March 0th decided
that the expenditure of time and
money upon the Pennsylvania Suf
rage News could bo used to better ad
vantage In other directions in its
campaign, and It has, therefore, dis
continued publication with thanks to
all the friends who have helped It.
Tho National House of Represen
tatives has recently appointed Rich
ard Plerson Habson, Samuel J. Trlb
blo and Stephen J. Porter members
of a committee to investigate and re
port on the question of tho advisa
bility of action by Congress to ex
tend tho suffrage to women. This is
the first time such a committee has
been appointed by Congress.
The Congressional Committee of
the National Woman Suffrago Asso
ciation, has announced that it con
siders the Washington suffrage par
ado as merely tho beginning of its
campaign for an amondment to the
Constitution of the United States en
franchising the women of all states.
The Committeo will maintain per
manent headquarters in Washington.
It is already lining up members of
both Houses in favor of the amend
ment. That tho lack of police pro
tection afforded during tno suffrage
parade has greatly helped the cause
of votes for woman is generally ad
mitted. RULES TO KEEP YOU STRAIGHT.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO
REV. J. B. SUMNER, of
Blnglininton.
To-day, Tuesday, March 25th.
is
the birthday of Rev. John B. Sumner,
who for five years while presiding eld
er of tho Honesdalo district of the
Wyoming conference, was a resident
of Honesdale. He still has a number
of lovable friends who with the Citl
zen extend heartiest congratulations
to tne reverend gentlemen.
"Stroller," In Monday's Scranton
irioune-uepubllcan, paid Rev. J. B.
Sumner the following complimen
tary notice:
"Thousands of readers of tho
Methodist faith in Scranton and vi
clnlty, I am sure, will be interested
in tne birthday celebration of Rev.
J. B. Sumner of BInghamton, who
will be seventy-five years old on
March 25. While an earnest and elo
quent pulpit orator, Rev. John B.
Sumner has probably been best
known in the Wyoming conference
through his efforts as a writer of re
iiyiuua songs ana nis talents as a
vocalist. Mr. Sumner's musical ca
reer began during his bovhood duvs
And it has been kept up through his
years of service as a minister of the
gospel. Probably the most popular
of his many contributions to sacred
song is tho hymn: "I'm tho Child of
a King." This song was written in
the days of tho early triumphs of tho
celebrated Wyoming Conference trio.
The trio composed of Mr. Sumner,
me late uev. w. is. westlake, and
Rev. J. C. Leacock. now of Scran
ton, led the music at every confor-
ence for many years. Their services
were often In demand elsewhere.
and they were frequently heard In
church concerts whenever these en
tertainments could be arranced In si
way tnat would not Interfere with
tnelr regular work. Tho death of
Rev. W. B. Westlake, tho tenor of the
trio, appears to havo broken ud tho
organization that In the nast furnish
ed so much inspiration for lovers of
song at tho conference meetings and
other gatherings of importance to
the Methodists. No one seems to
have been able to take the place of
tho member whoso sweet voice
blended so harmoniously with thoso
of his brothors In tho days when tho
Wyoming conference trio was one of
tne most celebrated organizations of
this region. It Is likely that thous
ands In Northern Pennsylvania and
Southern New York will loin in the
wish that this devout man, who has
spent nearly a half century in the
work of disseminating the gospel,
may celebrate many more birthdays
and that the sunset of his life may bo
fraught with peace and happiness."

THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS.
Tho price of Mr. Munsey's Boston
Journal has been increased from ono
cent to three. Mr. Munsey frankly
admits that ho has been losing mon
ey at the lower rate. Tho Now York
Evening Post regards this decision
as but one of the signs in tho jour
nalistic heavens that tho one-cent
newspaper has been overdone. All
the Bridgeport papers recently in
creased their price from one to two
cents. An influential western paper,
the Kansas City Star, increased its
price 50 per cent on January 1st.
Not long ago the confident talk was
that all newspapers would find them
selves forced to go at ono cent. But
It is the one-cent newspapors that aro
bing forced to go back to two or
three. The hard business facts, tho
rising cost of production, and the
need of living on something besides
sensation, havo been too much for
rash journalistic theorists. It Is
probable that newspapers abandon
ing the one-cent price will hereafter
be more numerous than those adopt
ing It.
