SOMEWHAT INCONSISTENT.
Governor Tener's statement on the
proposed issue of $50)000,000 road
bonds draws attention to the fact
that this important bill now beforo
the Legislature provides for nothing
more serious than a referendum of
the whole subject to the people.
It is singular that the only oppon
ents of the bill are also champions
of the referendum plan. Theoreti
cally, they believe in referring every
thing to the voters at large and inso
far as their own pet legislation is
concerned they are always ready to
denounce Independent action on the
part of the General Assembly as a
crime.
How, then, can they justify their
opposition to a referendum on one
of the most Important questions that
has come before the State lawmak
ers in years? It is agreed that the
people want good roads and it was
agreed until recently that the long
term bond issue was the proper way
to finance the big project outlined
In the Sproul bill. Why should' tho
Legislature be asked to prevent an
expression of the popular wishes at
the polls in this instance and not in
other instances? Extreme radical
ism is rarely well balanced and nev
er fair.
MAKE HONESDALE CLEAN.
To begin with, Honesdale is not so
dirty as most towns where improve
ment associations and civic clubs do
not exist. We are, practically speak
ing, clean at all times, but after win
ter there is more or less dirt that
necessarily collects and should be re
moved In tho spring, and "dirt,"
please bear in mind, is nothing more
nor less that "matter out of place."
Clean-up week in Honesdale has
ceased to be a novelty, but as its pur
pose becomes better understood each
succeeding year, Its results are more
marked.
May 5 has been designated as the
dato for beginning our annual mu
nicipal housecleanlng and this
spring, while the festivities are in
progress and the tin cans and waste
paper and ashes and broken bottles
are being carted out of our Spotless
Town, and back yards are being
primped to court the attentions of re
viving Nature, the streets of the city
are to be bathed by way of innova
tion.
Tho plan is to give them a real,
old Saturday-night scrubbing, so that
when clean-up week Is over and the
last tardy householder has set his
premises In good order, Sunday, the
11th, will dawn upon a community
refurbished and immaculate.
As an aid to sanitation, clean-up
week, probably directed and enthu
siastically supported by all classes
of citizens, will do more to promote
public health than half a dozen
boards of health could do.
Now is the time to eliminate the
breeding places of the fly and the
mosquito.
If you got on the job bright and
early May 5, you can destroy a mil
lion filth and germ-carrying Insects
with one stroke of tho broom.

STUDENT
MISSING
Relatives Believe Hughes
Is Held Gaptive.
MOTHER CONDUCTING SEARCH.
Parent In Philadelphia In Renewed
Effort to Find Him Police Attrib
ute Absence to Fraternity Prank.
Sweetheart Gets Letter Saying
"He's Unwilling Captive."
Phlladelpldu, April 17. Alarmed by
the continued absence of her son, Ca
leb C. Hughes, Jr., a sophomore at the
Jcffersou Medical college, who disap
peared Saturday, the mother of the
young man came here from New York
and renewed her efforts to find him.
Hughes, who is twenty-three years
old, left the home of his sweetheart,
Miss Lotty Glbbs, 2229 South Sixty
eighth street Saturday night with a
check for $100 in his possession. He
announced his Intention of having the
check cashed and started ostensibly
for his boarding bouse in Darby.
Hughes has not been seen since.
Tho police have been inclined to at
tribute the young man's prolonged ab
sence to n fraternity prnnk, but friends
nnd relatives of Hughes believe he was
attacked and is now possibly held cap
tive by some one who learned that he
had money.
George F. noracc, Hughes' room
mate, immediately reported his absence
to tho police, but no word was received
from tho missing man until Monday
afternoon. Then Miss Glbbs got an
envelope with a postmark from the
central station, Camden. It contained
Hughes' visiting card, upon the bock
of which was penned in his handwrit
ing: "I nm nn unwilling captive. I don't
know where I nm." On the other side
was written:
Dear Lett Fortunately I have an ad
dressed letter. I am an unwilling captive.
Write pa and ma. I send love. Remain
true. I will be back. Tenderly and lov
ingly, Caleb.
Tho police admitted there wns some
thing serious In the case when shown
the card. Tho young man's roommate
declares emphatically that ho believes
Hughes to be in serious trouble. He
described tho sophomore ns a quiet,
unassuming youth who spent most of
his time in his cpoin or at the homo of
Miss Glbbs. Wmle the two are not en
gaged, tho family of the young woman
admitted that there was some under
standing between them.

man, widow of the former owner of

rior court, but so far no steps have

tion reviewed tho testimony given by
citizens of Coatesvllle, all of whom de
clared the license would bo hurtful.
They testified that one liquor license
In a town of 12,000 persons would
cause as much barm as though one had
been granted to each of the former five
hotels. To this the court acquI6sced.

Back After Fine Time.
Tho treasure hunting expedition led
by Miss Genevieve Davis, an English
woman, which had been looking for
buried gold on Cocos Island for many

all. No treasure was recovered.
Benito Bonito was a regular pirate,
who in the early part of tho nineteenth
century settled down to "singeing the
beard of the king of Spain" along the
coast of Mexico. When ho got any
money together he buried it on Cocos
island after the manner of pirates and
made a map with the skull and cross
bones marking the spot where the
treasure was hid. His heirs have
made a substantial living selling these
maps to thoso whom romance uud the
works of R. L. Stevenson have touched.
Miss Davis' expedition stnrted out
from Plymouth with one of tho maps
and n vessel armed with a six pounder
to fight tho natives of Cocos island,
which lies 550 miles southwest of Pan
ama,' on Sept: 10 last. The only wom
an besides Miss Dnvls aboard the ship
was her friend Mrs. Barry Till.

centage In metallic iron.
Assays range from 54 per cent to

forty feet. One area tested out con
