TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1013.
At Utlca, N. Y., a joy rider was
convicted of manslaughter. He kill
ed a pedestrian in April last. The
convicted man was sentenced to
serve throe years and eight months
in the Auburn prison at hard labor.
This may have. the effect of causing
other joy riders to cut out that line
of sport; it may also serve as a dan
ger signal to reckless drivers of auto
wagons.
When the young man over in Lu
zerne county was released from cus
tody last week, after undergoing the
ordeal of being strongly suspected
of causing the death of his young
sweetheart at Harvey's Lake, he
declared that he was through with
booze and gay times, and intended
joining the church. If he will only
do his level best to really be good
that is all the public require. "Join
ing a church" may help some; but
Teal righteousness consists in being
and acting righteously. Anything
short of that is only exemplification
of the well known saying
"When the devil was sick,
The devil a monk would be;
When the devil got well,
The devil a monk was he."
"WILL, THE STKIKE BE AVEKTED?
President Garretson of the rail
road conductors and President J,
W. Lee of the trainmen said recently
that a strike would be called on
the Eastern lines if the railroad man
agers insist upon forcing the pro
posed eight new questions before the
board of arbitration when the pres
ent wage dispute is arbitrated.
When President Lee was asked
whether the new tangle might pre
cipitate the strike he replied "Yes."
He added that he did not dispute the
right of the railroads to prevent
questions for arbitration after giv
ing thirty days' notice. The situa
tion is not much better than it was
last week and a successful settle
ment of the differences between the
trainmen and the railroads seems
to be a difficult problem.
OPEN UP EAST STItEET.
Along the line of continued im
provement Honesdale could do no
better than take advantage of the
proposition recently submitted to the
borough council that of purchasing
what is known as the Wilson house
at the head of East street. The
owners are desirous of selling and
the property holders on East Street
Extension are heartily in favor of
the improvement. Now that the
property has been closed to the pub
lic as a short-cut to East Street Ex
tension, the need is all the more ap
parent. Merchants and others who
have delivery wagons would appre
ciate it if tho borough fathers would
purchase the property and open the
street between East and East Street
Extension.
The town council has appointed
a committee to inspect the property
and report at the next regular meet
ing. It is hoped that the council
will tako definite action on tho prop
osition, as it will not only make a
beautiful street when opened, but
will reflect considerable credit on
Honesdale's town council.
IIOXESDALE'S TOWN COUXCIL.
Honesdale Is to bo congratulated
upon Its town council. There Is not
a man upon tho board who would lis
ten or stoop to a proposition whereby
any member might benefit personal
ly in tho transaction. Graft Is a
word not known to the fathers of
this borough, although this has been
inferred different times by some
people. All of the councilman are
honest, upright, straight-forward
business men who have a character
back of them which has been gained
by years of honest dealing. They
think too much of this to sell their
birthright for a few paltry dollars.
All business dealings of the coun
cil are open and above board and
every penny received or expended
is accounted for. Where has there
been chance for graft? Tho differ
ent propositions transacted and ne
gotiated for have been done at the
least possible cost. The council
runs the borough affairs as economi
cally as any board ever did and with
much diplomacy.
Next fall the offices of four coun
cllmen expire. What bettor could bo
done than .to re-elect the preseut
board? They understand the paving
contract with the State and In our
opinion, should be retained.
WILSOX'S MEXICAN POLICY.
Ambassador Wilson is on his way
home from Mexico to talk things
over with the President. Perhaps
the President will learn something.
Perhaps not. Anyhow, the order
given to the Ambassador to come
home serves to delay anything In tho
way of positive action on the part of
the administration.
It may be that the President has a
Mexican policy. If so, he has not
taken the public into his confidence.
Apparently, however, he has been
waiting for some positive change In
Mexico. We can well understand
that to recognize an assassin and
murderer as the so-called President
of Mexico is anything but a cheerful
outlook, but what else is there to
do? If President Wilson has been
exacting that there shall first be held
a national election before he accords
recognition to a Mexican Govern
ment, what is there to be gained?
Certainly an election of the mani
pulated sort that they hold in Mex
ico, and which is under the abso'ute
control of the executive, who Is also
the dictator, means nothing. Can
President Wilson expect that peace
and good order would follow such an
election?
Things have been going from bad
to worse for so long a time In Mexico
that a positive nuisance has been al
lowed to grow up at our very door.
Not one open step has been taken by
the present administration at Wash
ington to put an end to violence. It
may not be necessary to regard as
serious the suggestion of some for
eign power that this government
should do something. What should
be regarded as serious is the protest
that is constantly arising from our
own people who have invested
countless millions in Mexico and
whose property is destroyed, endan
gered or rendered unproductive be
cause there is not sufficient author
ity in tho Mexican Government to
set its house in order. That sort of
thing cannot go on forever.
We realize that the task of Presi
dent Wilson is a difficult one. It is
easy to say that our remedy lies in
adopting tho same policy that we did
in Cuba and intervene with force.
That is easier said than done. We
should need a great many more men
than we have. Every State in the
Union would have to be called upon
to furnish its national guardsmen.
The moment that bur troops should
cross the border, it would be to fight
a united Mexico. Every Mexican,
federalist, revolutionist or just plain
bandit, would battle shoulder to
shoulder to repel the invader. Af
ter that they would resume fighting
each other. Probably 300,000 men
would be required to subdue Mexico,
and it could not be done in a few
months' campaigning either. Hence
tho invasion of Mexico is a con
tingency to be thought of, of course,
even prepared for, but not to be in
dulged In unless all other efforts
fall.
We may or may not like Huerta.
We may actually detest him, but the
fact is tha. ho represents the only
government in Mexico with which
our own government can deal.-There-fore,
let us deal with him. If by
recognizing him as Mexico's head tho
Mexican authorities can sooner put
down tho uprisings that have inflict
ed such serious losses upon Ameri
can interests, that would seem to be
the proper thing to do. Recognize
him and thus help him to strengthen
his position and then hold him re
sponsible. If he cannot protect
American and foreign interests with
that recognition, it will be time to
consider the next move. We aro not
going to cut any ico by lotting things
drift. Philadelphia Inquirer.
BARNES NOT OXLY ONE TO FILE
NOTICE.
AYnsliington Party County Clialriunn
Was In Fact Last Ono to Con
form With Law.
Through a statement made In the
Independent of July 18, it would
seem that County Chairman W, J.
Dames, of tho Washington Party,
was the only county chairman to file
notice of the offices to be filled at
tho coming fall election. The fact
of the matter was that Mr, Barnes
was the last one to file his notice.
The following Is taken from the In
dependent; "W. J. Barnes, chairman of
the Washington party, filed his
notice In the commissioners'
ofllco that a jury commissioner,
the only county office to be
filled the coming fall, would bo
nominated by this party. There
is also one state committeeman
for the county and ono commit
teeman for each election dis
trict of the county, to bo chos
en. He filed notice In commis
sioners' ofilce accordingly. Ho
was the only county chairman
to fllo notice."
It is true that Leopold Fuerth
county chairman of the Democratic
party, was away from home last
week but nevertheless he was the
first one to file his notice. It was re
ceived by T. Y. Boyd, commission
ers' clerk, on the evening of Mon
day, July 14, the day before the. no
tice was to be filed according to the
new primary law. M. E. Simons,
county chairman of the Republican
party, nlso filed his notice ahead of
Mr. Barnes.
DAILY SPEAKS TO MILLIONS.
None of the wonders of this won
der age is greater than the way in
which one man may, all within one
day, speak his message to millions of
people. Modern journalism has
made it possible for a few men liter
ally to do this regularly, week In and
week out, thus touching the entire
country with their influence, for help
or for hurt.
The syndicate newspaper writers
aro the ones whose audiences mount
up into millions. Among these Wil
liam T. Ellis has for many years
held his own distinctive place. His
signed writings appear in more than
sixty daily newspapers, covering all
the States and Canada. The aggre
gate circulation of his papers is 2,
102,705 copies, and if each paper is
allowed three readers (the usual
newspaper estimate is five), this
gives a multitude of persons reach
ing the enormous total of 6,308,295
to whom Mr. Ellis' message goes.
What a man says determines the
significance of the number to whom
he says it. The profound themes of
religion, personal character, patriot
ic, and human service, are treated by
Mr. Ellis. He is a popularizer of re
ligious truths in its practical appli
cations. There is probably no or
dained clergyman in the land who
addresses regularly so large a con
gregation as this layman, who is lec
turing at the Pennsylvania Chau
tauqua. He is expected in Honesdale
next month.
BULL MOOSERS LOSING GROUND.
The enrollment for the Bull Moose
Party, both In New York city and
the State, shows a remarkable fall
ing off from the vote cast by the
party at the Presidential election last
November, according to figures made
public tho other day. Less than 10
per cent, of the Bull Moose voters
who supported the candidates of the
party last November enrolled In the
State this year, and less than 7 per
cent, in the city.
Enrollment returns have been re
ceived from the fifty of the sixty-two
counties in the State. The extra
county is the Bronx, which was ad
ded since last year, but special en
rollment was taken there, just as in
tho other countries. Returns from
theso fifty counties show a Bull
Mooso enrollment of 32,000. It Is
probable that the entire enrollment
will be less than 35,000. Last year
tho Bull Moose vote for President
in the State was 300,021.
Tho enrollment for the five city
boroughs was 12,373, divided as fol
lows: New York, 5,407; Bronx, 1,
800; Kings, 4,314; Queens, 550, and
Richmond, 302. The vote last year
was: .New York, 98,985; Kings, 71,
23C; Queens, 14,880, and Richmond
3.7G8.
In several of the up-state counties
where the Bull Mooso polled an un
expectedly large vote last year the
enrollment this year was very small.
The Democratic enrollment In the
city was approximately 50 per cent,
of tho total Democratic votes, while
the Republican enrollment Is less in
proportion, but far better than the
Bull Moose. In up-State counties the
Republicans did even better, enroll
ing approximately two-thirds of the
total party vote usually cast. Tho
Republicans aro greatly encouraged
over the result, especially up State,
and it was said that when the time
comes for making party designations
the Republican machine may obtain
full control of the Progressive Par
ty machinery, at least for designat
ing or- nominating purposes.
RED CROSS SEALS.
100,0)OtOO Will bo rrintcd for 1013
Holiday Season.
Orders for printing 100,000,000
Red Cross Christmas seals for use
during tho holiday season this year
have already been placed and pre
parations for tho sale are well under
way according to an announcement
made from the New York campaign
headquarters
Over 40,000,000 or $400,000 worth
of seals were sold in 1912, a gain of
nearly 25 per cent, over tho previous
year. Because of tho deep Interest
In tho antituberculosis movement for
which the seals are sold, tho Ameri
can Red Cross and The National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis who conduct the
sale, hope to reach tho 50,000,000
mark this year, netting $500,000 for
the prevention of consumption.
A radical reparturo from previous
seals in the shape and character of
the design will be instituted this
year. The seal will be rectangular
In shape, 1 Inches wide and 1 inch
deep. The center of the design will
depict Santa Claus with his eight
reindeer dashing across a field of
snow and the border will be brilliant
red and green decoration of polnset
tias and holly, the Red Cross em
blem appearing on either side.
Distribution of tho seals will bo
started about September 1st and by
December 1st it is expected that the
entire 100,000,000 will be distribut
ed. If more are needed, aa addition
al supply will bo printed. In addi
tion to the seals themselves, advertis
ing material to the amount of sev
eral 'million pieces Is also being pre
pared. The campaign this year will
be organized In almost every city
and town In the United States, and
no less than 100,000 ngents will give
their services to the work.
GOVERNOR VETOES
DAISY AS STATE FLOWER.
Harrlsburg, July 21. In vetoing
the bill the governor says that he
docs not think the sentiment of the
people of the commonwealth has so
crystalized In the daisy's favor as to
justify its designation as the state
flower or floral emblem of the com
monwealth. When Miss Elsa B. Brown, teacher
of tho public school at Atco, Wayne
county, made up her mind last Win
ter that tho great state of Pennsyl
vania ought to have an official state
flower and that the flower should be
the daisy, she little thought that her
desire would cause legislators the
loss of sleep and that in the end an
unpoetic governor would lop the pro
posed law off the books as he would
switch off the heads of daisies with
his cane as he passed through a
field. But uch was the case, for
Governor Tener on Saturday vetoed
the bill which had run tho gauntlet
of both houses and the common
wealth of Pennsylvania is still with
out a state flower.
Back in February when Miss
Brown's Idea was first mentioned
Representative Jackson, of Wayne
county, very gallantly came to the
rescue of the proposition and vowed
that if he never did another thing
in the legislature that he would have
the daisy adopted as the state flow
er. And he meant every word of it,
too, for after his bill struck the
rocks of the senate and was retired
first in favor of the violet and later
the lilac, he stuck to his guns, so to
speak, and his fellow members of
the house stuck to him, so that in
the closing days of the session when
the house bill for the daisy and the
senate amendment for the lilac came
to a conference committee of both
houses it was decided to restore the
bill to the flower as first proposed
the daisy and both house and sen
ate adopted it and the bill went to
the governor.
WHO AVILL ENTERTAIN
A "FRESH AIR KID?"
Every year the New York Trib
une's fresh air fund, fostered by a
great newspaper and supported by
voluntary subscriptions from all
kinds of people, arranges to give
as many of Now York's poor an out
ing, away from the grime, the filth,
the heat, the poverty, the disease
and environment that dwarfs minds
and stunts bodies. This year, so far,
It has gotten enough places so that
it can. send the children Julv 22.
They will return August 5. All that
it will cost them will be the little
that the youngsters eat. Before they
are sent away they are subjected to
a physical examination, so they can
not carry disease. They are average
children, with hearts that beat like
other children's; they have a longing
for the freedom of the country, sun
shine and God's fresh air, perhaps
intensified because in New York
there are a hundred thousand rooms
that have no windows. As many as
four sleep In these rooms.
Childless couples who enjoy the
luxury of comfortable homes but
know not the joy of )HjLren, and .old
and lonely folks who have lost
theirs, and bachelors who can afford
It, can be of great service by turn
ing to and giving aid to tho fresh
air vacation fund, if they will ad
dress tho New York Tribune Fresh
Air Fund Box, Scranton, Pa.

MICKEY SAVES THE
DAY FOR LINDSEY.
New Story About Chautauqua Lectur
er Who Will Visit Honesdale in
Au rust.
"Mickey,- I'm In trouble, and
you've got to help me. I helped you.
I went down and I made a fight for
you fellows. Didn't I?"
That's tho way Ben B. Llndsey al
ways puts it up to a boy.
This time the answer was, "That's
what you did! Betcher life you
did."
"Well, now you've got to stay with
me." And Lindsey told Mickey what
he wanted all the kids ho could find
that had been in jail. "The officer
can't get them; says thera isn't time
enough. Can you?"
"Can I? Well, you watch me.
Don't you worry about the kids,
Judge. Gimme a wheel, and I'll
get kids, kids to burn!"
Mickey borrowed a wheel. It
didn't fit, but it went. Invited offi
cials began to arrive before Mickey
returned. Where were the witnes
ses? The judge knew he could, count
on Mickey, and the kids generally,
but suppose he couldn't find them?
Painful silence. Then a murmur out
side. Then a hubbub. Last an
alarm! It sounded like a mob, and
up the stairs it rattled, and down the
hall it crashed.
The Judge knew! He flung open
the door. Thirty or forty boys, with
Mickey radiant at their head, grinned
In triumph.
"Hero's the kids, Judge. Got
more'n I thought' I would."
"Bully for you, Mickey!" cried the
Judge. "You've saved the day!"
"I told ye I'd stay wit' ye, Judge."
Mickey stayed, and some big now
bills that cleaned house for Denver
were passed and signed and made a
part of the laws of Colorado within a
week.
HAWLEY.
Hawley, July 19. Mr. and Mrs.
Grant Kimble, of Scranton, are visit
ing at the home of the latter's moth
er, Mrs. L. Phillips, of Church
street.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Nessler, of New
York city, are spending a few days
In town visiting with relatives and

John Duffy, of Port Jervis, was a
business caller hero on Wednesday.
Miss Elizabeth Grossman, of
Honesdale, is visiting with friends
on Belmont avenue.
Mrs. William Kock, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., is visiting at tho homo of her
brother, George Polt, of this place.
The open air concert and lawn
festival held by "Myers' Junior
Band" on Wednesday evening was a
decided success. They were assisted
by the White Mills band. The lawn
of the Park View hotel, where tho
concert was held, was very prettily
decorated with electric lighted Japa
nese lanterns, which, being strung
through the trees, produced a very
beautiful scene. Tables and chairs
were arranged throughout the lawn.
Delicious refreshments of all kinds
were served, while "the band played
on." About four hundred persons
were present, and all enjoyed the
treat afforded by "our boys."
Mrs. Morgan and son, Plerson, of
Port Allegheny, returned to their
home on Thursday, after spending
some time with the former's mother,
Mrs. Ella Thompson of Belmont ave
nue. Charles Koesting and son, Clar
ence, of Brooklyn, N. Y., are visiting
at the home of the former's sister,
Mrs. Mary Warg, of Church street.
John Garrison of Binghamton, N.
Y., spent Tuesday and Wednesday
in town on business.
BUY SEASON TICKETS.
As tho date of the opening of tho
Honesdale Chautauqua draws near,
it has been suggested that the pub
lic be "put wise," so to speak, in the
purchase of season tickets. It has
been the belief of many patrons of
the Chautauqua that season tickets
can be purchased any time previous
or during the Chautauqua. This idea
is wrong. No season tickets can be
bought after the Chautauqua opens;
they must be purchased before tho
opening day, which is August 21.
There are just 700 tickets at ?2 each
to bo sold and when the 700 aro gone
no 'more can be sold.
There are 31 high class attractions
during Chautauqua week; tho sea
son tickets cost $2, or an average of
less than 15 cents for each entertain
ment. Single admission tickets for
the week amount to $5.10, and as.
the season tickets aro transferable
so any member of the family can use
them, it is far cheaper to get a sea
son ticket than to pay admission at
the tent each day.
Before you start on your va
cation see that you are supplied
with some Neura Powders for
Headache, io and 25 cents.
Sold everywhere.
