FRIDAY, Whenever tho temperature gets be low 90 we shall be In a better frame of mind to appreciate the Ohio Stato 'Journal man's nevldlous com parisons between gowns of that dim distant past and of the present day when the corollary propositions are two numerous to mention. Some how or other, whenever Mul hall's name occurs to us we just .can't help associating it with Bill Nyo's remark in his "improved" ver sion of Marc Anthony's oration when he referred to Brutus as "not only the biggest liar in the United States but a horse thief of the deepest dye." In the summary of the game laws as published in our goo&Vnatured and never-imitates contemporary, the Independent, Wayne county farmers noted with surprise that "No -woodchuck can be killed before Sep tember, 1918." On tho face of it that bespeaks hard lines for tho farmer who considers the woodchuck one of the meanest and most con temptible of pests. Unless the Inde pendent has authority for its asser tion we shall believe that the words "wood duck" are meant, and until we run up against a game warden with authority to call a halt we shall continue to kill woodekucks "till the cows come home." f A VEItV PROPER ACT. When the sale of the materials and so forth of the late Wayne County Herald was held on Wednesday last it was decided to locate the flies of the old newspaper in the County buildings. Two years ago the writer hereof suggested that E. A. Pennlman's complete flies of The Citizen be se cured and placed In a proper place in tho County building, and that sug gestion is renewed at this time. Tho early history of Wayne Coun ty Is contained in the tiles of the Herald and the Citizen, and it seems ja crime to be bo lax in making pro vision for protecting these priceless records, which, if destroyed by fire, (which might happen in a few mln oites' time), could never be replaced. The Citizen suggests to the D. A. It. of Honesdalo that they take hold of this matter and rest not until the flies of the County newspapers, as far as possible, are located in some fire-proof receptacle such as the County buildings are supposed to be. And when these records aro located there- they should be kept under the jsare of some person, properly au thorized, whose duty it would be to see that the old. papers aro not mutilated or otherwise destroyed. THE PASSING OF THE WAYNE COUNTY HERALD. It la with regret that we chronicle tho death of the Wayne County Her ald, Wayne's oldest newspaper. Af ter nearly a hundred years of con tinuous publication it has reached an untimely death. Had tho paper Hve it would have been one hundred years old in 1918. It seems too bad that the first paper published in Wayno county should not live to reach the contury mark, which is only Uto years away. Aocordlng to Goodrich's history the Wayno County Mirror was the first newspaper published in Wayno county, and tho initial number ap peared In March, 1818. Tho Mirror, whUh was the foundation stono of tho Wayno County Herald, was fol lowad by tho Republican Advocate In 1822 and this paper was succeed ed by tho Bethany Inquirer in 1830. In 1832 the first number of tho Wayne County Herald was issued in Hoiosdale by Peter C. Ward and the papor has since been known by that name. In 1805 it passed into the hands of T. J, Ham, who continued as editor and proprietor until the Herald Press Association was formed in 1901 and N. J. Spencer becamo managing editor, Mr. Spencer con tinued in that capacity until 1910 when ho resigned to enter In the printing business with his brother, G. E. Spencer. During 1910 and 1911 tho papor was under the man agement of E. B. Callaway, now one of the managing editors' of the Honesdalo Citizen. Cv E. , Sander cock, of New York City, succeeded Mr. Callaway and It was under his management when It went into bank ruptcy last Mag, , w x the Citizen Publishing Company. DIRECTORS t ' M. B. ALLEN. B. B. nAKDEKBKRQIt W. W. WOOD AUGUST 1, 101.1. The Wayne County Herald was the only Democratic newspaper In tho county and in its day was a strong organ of Deniocraey. The paper went into several hundred homes in Wayne county and was a newsy sheet. The passing of the Wayne County Herald is like the going out of a candle which has shed light abroad and then is sniffed out and is no more. May its ashes rest in peace. While speaking of old newspa pers, we reproduce tho following taken from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle which concerns the Trenton, N. J., "True American," a paper 112 years old: "Thomas Jefferson was just en tering upon his first term as Presi dent of the United States when the Trenton, N. J., True American came into existence in 1801. Now, after 112 years of life, the old newspaper is to suspend publication, Its proper ty having been bought for a sum of $15,000 In excess of its debts, and its once very profitable job printing plant having been absorbed by a New York firm. "The Boston Evening post was 66 years old when the Trenton True American was born. The Connecti cut Courant of Hartford was 37 years old. The New Hampshire Ga zette of Portsmouth .was 45 years old. The Massachusetts Spy, first published In Boston in 1770, remov ed to Worchester and perpetuated as the Worcester Spy; the Pittsburg Gazette, founded In 1786, and the Portland, Maine, Advertiser, founded in 1785, were samples of tlie journal Ism of 1891. Tho first newspaper' in New Jersey was the New Jersey Ga zette, established in Burlington in 1777, and later removed to Trenton, which went out of existence in 1786, but had its name partially continued by the State Gazette, nine years old er than tho True American. The New Brunswick Times also antedates tho True American by nine years. "Journalism In America has seen many, changes since Jefferson was first 'Inaugurated. ' Bettor communi cations have given a tremendous ad vantage to the city newspaper of larger capital and with better plant than ono in a small town or smaller city can afford. Enterprise and heavy investment have become essen tials to staying in business. Tho True American has been conducted on pretty high lines throughout most of its career. It will bo regretted by many an exchange editor." McADOO'S CHARGES CAUSE STIR. Secretary McAdoo's charge on Monday that the bankers of New York were conspiring to depress the market for United States 2 per cent, bonds as a means to help defeat the proposed currency reform bill, caused a great stir In Wall street and Washington In Washington it was clearly indi cated that the Secretary's statement has not only supplied the socalled "Money Trust" hunters with the- op portunity they have been wishing for but which has embarrassed the pres ent administration. Representative Henry said that he would immediately demand another money investigation, with Secretary McAdtfo and the bankers of New York city as the chief witnesses. Leaders among tho conservative Democrats admit that all this fuss will -seriously hinder President Wil son's efforts to got banking legisla tion passed while at the same time stilling tho cries of tho radicals for another "Money Trust" hunt. Mr. McAdoo seems to havo linked tho socalled money trust question to tho banking and currency program and by ono stroko to havo set at naught all the efforts of tho Presi dent to avoid such a situation. The Secretary has over-reached himself and has played directly In the hands of those who prefer anoth er Inquiry such as that conducted by Samuel Untermyer of New York, rather than to buckle down to the serious business of revising the exist ing banking and currency laws. VIOLATION OF BOROUGH ORDIN ANCES! The Cltiten, from time to time, has called attention to tho violation of borough ordinances. In the first place, what is tho uso of passing borough ordinances if they aro not to bo regarded? The town councils of tho past havo passed certain or dinances which aro supposed to gov ern tho town. Money has been spent In advertising same and a booklet printed containing them. Giving all duo respect to our borpugh au thorities, wo ask, why are tney not enforced,? One does noj hare to go very far in any direction and on any day before ho can see (unless ho Is blind) almost any ordinance violated. Wo mention a few hoping that those In authority may havo something to work upon the next few days and thus bring a few more dollars Into tho town treasury. Tho riding of bicycles on sidewalks and in parks has gotten to be a nuisance, and also a danger. Even Mayor McCarty was run down a few weeks ago, but no arrests followed. Then the running of automobiles in tho borough. How many chauffeurs operate within the 15 mile an hour limit in the town? How many blow their horns at each and every cross walk? Havo tho po lice lost their stop-watches? or have they neglected to wind them this year? Will it be necessary to kill somebody before the borough ordin ance on automobiles will be enforc ed? This would be a serious state of affairs, but it will come to this unless speed is checked in tho bor ough limits. How about posting notices on trees and poles outside of borough or dinances and other matters per taining to the town's welfare? Is this ordinance violated? Writing on side walks advertising picnics, dances and the like. Is this done In Honesdale? Tho burning of paper any time of day, when the ordinances call for special hours. Did the authorities ever notice bon fires in the street other than the specified time for burning? These and other violations are just a little food for thought. OFFICERS RECEDE PAY. Auditor General Powell has an nounced that as a result of a con ference between himself, State Treas urer Young and representatives of the Attorney General's Department, an agreement had been reached whereby payments to departments of the state government under the general appropriation bill would be made immediately. Tho right to re serve any item for a court test was reserved. This conference held in the office of the Governor ends the controversy which has stirred thb state capitol for a week. The Gov ernor took part In the discussion and the legal department will aid in any legal test that may be required. The health and other departments will be paid at once. This will bo glad news to those in Honesdalo and Wayne county who havo been held up from receiving any funds for ser vices from tho State for many months. ,,, THAT DELAWARE DAM. Tho Calllcoon (Sullivan County) Democrat contained the following article in its Tuesday's issue concern ing tho Narrowsburg Water Supply company: On the 24 th day of this month, ap plication was made to the Governor of Pennsylvania and to tho Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania for a charter for an intended corpor ation to bo known as the Narrows burg Water Supply Company. In the application the statement was made that the object of Intended corpora tion was "to supply water and water power tor commercial ana manufac turing purposes in the Township of Damascus, Wayne county, Pa." The application is made in the name of George H. Stein, Bruce A. Metzgar and Alex R. Chcston. Thus the second step in tbo huge dam project at Narrowsburg has been taken, and, although it will probably be twocor three years af ter the Incorporation of the com pany beforo any actual work is done, yet the time Is getting nearer when this dam will be built and the enor mous amount of water now going to waste will bo utilized for power for manufacturing plants along the Del aware river and elsewhere within a radius of 200 miles. With the incorporation of tho com pany in Pennsylvania completed, wo understand that a similar applica tion will be made in New York State, and following that an appli cation will also be made to the Public Service Commission for the privilege of erecting a dam at Nar rowsburg. In 190S when surveyors of the Conservation Commission of this Stato made an extensivo survey of tho proposed dam, tho specifications wore made to call for a 60 foot dam which would back tho water up to a mile above Cochecton, compel part of that village, Damascus and Milan vlllo to move to higher ground and also compel tho Erlo to remove cloven miles of their track to a higher level. Should any company attempt to build a dam we do not believe that they would erect a sixty foot dam, as it would entail tho expenditure of many millions of dollars for the purchase of property, erection of dam, etc. A lower dam would in all likelihood be built which would not bo so expensive and yet would re turn a good per centago on the in vestment. But even with the incorporation and talk of building wo do not be lieve any thing will bo done on tho project for at least four or five years. SIMONS FAMILY REUNION.

Pension Bill Vetoed. Two bills to pension soldiers who served in the Civil War and those who answered the call as emergency men were vetoed on the ground of in sufficient State revenue. The Matt bill carrying $1,547,000, provided for pensions to men who served one year or less, and the Gray bill for the emergency "men carried $810,000. The veto of the Matt bill covers both, and the governor says, in part: "The recent magnificent celebra tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg has inspired my deeper reverence for, and obliga tion to those battle-scarred heroes, but inasmuch as the legislature has appropriated many millions of dol lars in excess of the revenues of the State, I have been obliged to cut down the appropriations to many worthy causes to whose support tho State is already committed, I am un able to approve this bill without re ducing even more than I have al ready been required to the appropria tions to public schools, to hospitals for the care of the sick and injured, consumptive and tho insane." Governor Tener has signed tho public utilities bill establishing a new system of control over public service corporations in Pennsylvania. It was expected that tho seven commissioners authorized by the act would bo named as soon as tho bill was signed, but in the press of dis posing of the numerous bills which must bo signed or vetoed beforo mid night on Monday, Gov. Toner defer red the appointments. As the law takes effect at onco, thero will be no lengthy delay in naming tho seven men. It is gener ally accepted here that tho members of the State Railroad Commission, Messrs. Ewing, Brecht and Penny packer will bo appointed to the new commission. .. ,.,,..,., SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
