FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1013.
THOUGIIT FOR TO-DAY.
People smile at the enthusiasm of
youth, that enthusiasm which they
themselves secretly look back at with
a sigh, perhaps unconscious that It Is
partly their own fault that they have
ever lost It. Charles Klngsley.
ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST LOCO
MOTIVE. To-day, August 8, Is the 84th
anniversary of the running of the
first locomotive on tho American
continent, the "Stourbridge Lion."
The historical event occurred in
Honesdale on the Delaware and Hud
son railroad. The public at large Is
not aware of this fact. When visit
ors come to Honesdale they are sur
prised to learn that the first locomo
tive that ever ran by steam In
America made its initial trip here.
This is a distinction that Honesdale
cannot be deprived of and It is one
of the national historical events
which ought to be in the text books
of our schools.
WAYNE COUNTY NEEDS HOSPI
TAL.
Every week Wayne county fur
nishes evidence that a surgical hos
pital should be located at Hones
dale without delay. Last Sunday
morning Chris. Kittner, of White
Mills, was taken to a Scranton hos
pital. On Wednesday night's Erie
train Richard Walsh, of North
Cherry Ridge, was also removed to a
hospital in that city; and so it goes
every week.
No expensive building is needed,
and a start might be made on a basis
that would not incur the outlay of
much money.
On Wednesday night as the writ
er gazed into tho suffering face of
poor Dick Walsh, the farmer from
Cherry Ridge or Canaan, tho man
who expected to be home in time
to do his chores, but who found
that instead of going home he must
first endure the torture of an en
forced railroad ride to Scranton, and
then to realize that he was to bo
confined for days and perhaps weeks
among strangers, Honesdale and
Wayne County's duty became very
manifest.
With a hospital in Honesdale, not
only would Dick Walsh have re
ceived immediate assistance, but the
at-home-and-among-frlends feeling
would have tended to relieve his
mind of tho stress and strain that
his removal to Scranton quite natur
ally produced, augmented as It was
by the several hours' wait.
Let's get down to sensible and
practical lines. Let's get a modest
building, or a suite of suitable
rooms. Let's notify Dr. Gibbons
that we are ready to receive his do
nation of instruments and operating
chair, and let's get that hospital
started. There's some money In
bank to tho hospital credit that can
be called on, and more can be raised.
Now, then, let's do It!
GA5IE WARDENS AND THE COM
MISSION. There will perhaps always bo more
or less unlawful fishing and hunting
In the State but unless tho State
Game Commission comes out and
stands behind their wardens it will
undoubtedly bo more Instead of less.
Tho game wardens are selected for
a purpose and nro duty bound to up
hold the law and punish all offend
ers. They havo the right to con
fiscate fish that aro caught under
legal size or game killed out of sea
son. Also to arrest tho offenders
and bring them before a Justico of
the Peace. A recent occurrence In
Carbondalo township brings this
forcibly to mind and to the Immedi
ate conclusion that tho recently
formed body of United Sportsmen
of Pennsylvania should act at once
through tho organization, for tho
protection of the sport in tho state.
Deputy Gamo Warden Carl Gotzel
of No. 5, Carbondale township, re
cently confiscated several strings of
Illegally caught fish and placed them
In a cellar. The next morning when
ho went for the fish they were gone.
The evidence was thus taken away
but the men fearing arrest hauled
tho warden up before a justico of
tho peace on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Tho warden
was fined $6.15. Not satisfied with
that the fish stealing law breakers,
went after the warden on another
w. w. wood
charge and a justice of tho peace
at Simpson fined him $75 on a false
charge. He was obliged to go to
jail, being without the money and
was taken in charge by a constable
to be locked up in the jail at Car
bondale. The warden was later found bad
ly beaten up, with three ribs broken
and cut and bruised as if an iron
club had been used.
The friends of the game warden
are going to push the matter and it
is likely that Doctor Penrose, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania State Game
Commission at Harrlsburg will take
official action. The question all
true lovers of the sport want decided
is "Will tho State Game Commis
sion stand behind its wardens and
protect them in their duty?"
DEAD CAT IN HER WELL!
A correspondent of The Citizen
gave particulars in a budget of news
this week of an act in a certain neigh
borhood that should subject the
knowing" ones to severe punish
ment at the hands of the law.
The body of a dead cat was fished
out of a well where It had been ly
ing for four weeks. Tho correspond
ent says that the fact that the cat
was in the well was known to some of
the neighbors who were cautioned
not to drink of the water.
The owner of tho well, a woman,
was not warned of the condition of
her well until the action of nature
could conceal its presence no longer,
She is now sick, and most naturally
believes that her sickness is caused
by drinking and using tho water.
The Citizen does not know any of
the parties of the neighborhood, but
unhesitatingly says that anybody so
heartless and cruel as to perpetrate
or cover up such a piece of malicious
ness should havo meted out to them
a punishment in every way commen
surate to the act. Wo do not know
the woman who owns the well: she
may be an unpleasant neighbor; she
may have shortcomings and even
vices; we care not what her charac
ter may be, but we Insist that nothing
she may have done or may be doing
or saying will justify her neighbors
in allowing her well to be poisoned,
or to remain in a poisonous condition
wlthut warning her of it.
There is a legal maxim that "it is
a crime to conceal a crime," and in
tho light of that maxim, how about
tho guilt of those who were warned
not to drink the water and who con
cealed the matter from the unfor
unate owner of tho well?
Surely, there is a judgment day
coming, and who " shall stand in the
judgment?"
BOND ISSUE FOR ROADS.
Following the lead of tho Philadol-
pnia North American and other
Flinn sympathizers, which havo
numerous axes to grind, our bearer
of the Flinn banner frequently gives
as its reason for this anomalous
friendship for good roads, the fact
or rather the allegation that tho
bond issue instead of being intended
for tho improvement of the high
ways Is in reality destined to build
up a machine through tho agency of
tho State Highway Department un
der Governor Tenor and Commis
sioner BIgelow.
This assertion comes with bad
grace from newspapers which havo
been so cordial in their indorsement
of tho use of tho Highway Depart
ment for tho purposes of building up
a Washington Party or as tho case
may bo a Democratic machine. And
in addition to its being in poor tasto,
tho charge is untruthful.
Tho Toner administration would
not havo the spending of a dollar of
tho proposed $50,000,000 loan. If
tho voters of the state wore to au
thorize this method of financing the
extensive plan for highway improve
ment, tho fund would not become
available until June 1, 1915 after
the next session of tho Legislature
had taken tho necessary action.
Tho bond Issuo is the only fair
and practical method of financing
such an enterprise, which will cost
an enormous sum and which is as
vast an undertaking for the state as
the building of tho biggest railroad
In America. No ono ever heard of a
great railway being built on current
revenues and the work of road con
struction now facing tho. Common
E. Bt HABDEKBEROU
wealth of Pennsylvania is a vaBt
undertaking.
There is only one feasible way to
carry out the ambitions and admir
able scheme outlined in ' the Sproul
bill nnd that is to distribute its
necessarily largo cost in such a way
that it will not be a burden upon
the taxpayers.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.
Harrlsburg, Aug. 5. Washington,
D. C. will bo tho scene of a confer
ence of voting women August 13-15
which will mark an epoch in United
States history, as it will bo the first
of its kind ever held. In ten states,
mostly western ones, women now
have tho franchise. At least one
delegate from each of these states
will attend the conference, which
will be under the auspices of the Na
tional Council of Women Voters.
They are to forward tho campaign for
woman suffrage in all states ana in
the nation. A feature of the confer
ence will be a hearing on August 14
at which the women will urge an
early report of the pending resolu
tion to amend the federal constitu
tion so as to grant tho franchise to
women. Chairman Henry, of the
House Rules Committee, has arrang
ed the hearing. The bill has been
pigeonholed for some time. Mrs.
iJmma Smith DeVoe, of Tacoma,
Wash., is president of the National
Council of Women Voters and will
probably preside at tho conference.
The women present will represent
some 4,000,000 women who actually
have to vote now and this is expect
ed to Increase tho interest which
would centre about a council of wom
en who did not have the right of
franchise.
New Jersey is rapidly approaching
the position where no man will dare
run for a national or state legislative
office if known to be opposed to
equal suffrage. The New Jersey
Men's League has pledged Itself to
support such candidates only if fav
orable to suffrage, regardless of par
ty affiliations, and professional poli
ticians are beginning to complain.
A few days before the Men's League
decided this a special election was
held in the Sixth New Jersey Con
gressional district and Archibald C.
Hart, a pronounced suffragist, won,
and he will support tho pending fed
eral amendment at Washington.
School directors will be elected in
virtually every school district in
Pennsylvania this fall, the number
elected depending upon tho size of
the district. This office is one of
the very few open to women .in
Pennsylvania and reports are heard
from various parts of the state that
female candidates aro about to pe
tition for places on tho primary
ballot for September 16.
Mrs. Joseph Wood, wife of a prom
inent lawyer in Mt. Vernon, N. Y.,
has been appointed to the West
chester county police force and has
accepted. Except that this occurred
in New York it is not especially sur
prising until one looks "behind the
scenes." Then it is found that Mrs.
Wood is a leader of anti-suffragists
at her home and has gono into public
life despite the antls slogan, "Wom
an's Place Is the Home."
It is difficult for an American to
understand tho suffrage situation In
England, and It Is also difficult to un
derstand that the militant tactics do
not represent the majority of suffra
gists of that country. It Is likewise
difficult to realize the ultra-conservatism
which prevails in England.
The courts there havo just decided
in a test case that women cannot
practice law. To say that the decis
ion is not good law, without know
ing all the facts, would be to impeach
the ability of tho English Courts,
but it seems an expedient declsldn
In faco of the strong agitation In
Great Britain for women's rights.

A DESPERATE
. BANDIT
By MARGARET BARRY
Lieutenant Giuseppe Grlolano of the
Italian untienul police being summon
ed to headquarters at Naples, his chlof
said to him:
"This brigand Lanettl who has been
terrorizing tho mountains must bp cap
tured. I have sent out a spy. who
says that In a ravine back of Sorrento
he rame upon the band. Ue was
halted und told to turn about He
could see no one, but remarked the
position nnd says that if tln-y remnin

force to attack them they must all tie

and bring Lanettl here dead or nllve
If you can bring tho others do so. but
do not fail to capture their leader."
'Havo you a description of dim?"
asked the lieutenant
'No. Nor havo I found any ono who
has seen him. He bos but recently
begun his depredations and thus far
wo have not been able to get any in
formation about him. Persons who
havo been captured by bis band nnd
held for ransom havo not been brought
before him."
Lieutenant Grlolano with his men
went by train as near to tho point tbey
intended to attack as possible, then at
nightfall followed a road leading up
into tho mountains.
As soon as it grew lighter the police.

looking up at tho barrier. All was si

seen.
'The bird has flown," bo remarked
in a disappointed tone.
No sooner had tho words been ut
tered than a bullet sang close to his
ear.
Tbo bravest man will duck at being
thus surprised, for tho nerves do not

danger has already passed. Grlolano
Involuntarily ducked, then ordered bis

taking In tho defense before him. He
was a bandsomo man, twenty-five
years old and brave. While ho was
looking for an opening by which to
make a flank attack upon the position
another bullet sang a fow inches above
his bend. This timo ho was prepared
and did not flinch.
On both sides of tho ravino where
tho barrier had been erected there was
a wall of rock, which the lieutenant
saw no way of passing. Indeed, the
position the bandits bad taken could
only bo captured from tho front and
this conld not bo dono without consid
erable loss of life. Tho young officer
was at a losa how to proceed. While
deliberating another riflo cracked, and
another bullet whizzed past him. this
timo knocking off tho uniform Napo
leonic hat worn by tho national police.
"For heaven's sake, lieutenant!"
cried a sergeant "Oca so to expose
yourself in that way. The next shot
will surely bring you down."
"Thoao shots havo como from dif
ferent parts of tho barrier," replied
the lieutenant without heeding the
warning. "There must bo half our
number behind It and if wo attempt
to carry It by storm wo shall lose the
greater part of our men. I must find
a way to get at them from"
Ping! Another bullet grazed the offi
cer's shoulder.
"I beg of you, lieutenant," reiterated
tho sergeant, "to get behind a rock.
Why tho villains havo missed yon four
times I cannot understand."
"Nor L" replied Grlolano. "Howev
er, there Is. nothing for It but to carry
the placo by assault"
Given tho order to advance tho men
moved np tho ravino, each man getting
over tho rocks in bis own way. Every
moment all expected to receive a vol
ley that would thin their ranks, but
they made half tho distance and not a
shot had como from tho barrier. Every
nock was stretched, every eyo bent on
tho improvised fort, looking for n burst
of flamo and smoke and a hailstorm ot
bullets. Half the remaining distance
was covered and yet no sign of de
fense. "They nro waiting," said tho ser
geant, "till wo get right before thorn.
then each bandit will aim at ono of us,
and they will flro all at onco."
But in a fow momenta moro they
woro at tho baso of tho barricade,
then on and over it all unhurt
In tho farthest corner crouched the
garrison, a girl somo seventeen years
old. No other living Doing was there.
Grlolano stood In amazement
"Whero Is LanoU!?" ho askod.
"I am Lanettl."
"You Lanettir
"Yes, signor."
"Whero aro your men?"
"They aro cowards. They havo de
serted mo."
After a brief silence, during which
the officer waa lost in wondor, bo sold:
"Why did yon miss mo bo many
times. Are you so poor a marksman?'
"No, signor. I can bit a bird on th

"Welir
"Yon looked so handsome in your
beautiful uniform I conld not kill

The polloe went back to Naples and
reported that tho brigands had disap

Little did the people who were

to bejng disappointed in seeing tho
performance of "Within tho Law" on

heads the cast, was a week-end guest

those stores purchasers will know they are Chautauqua
and Honesdale boosters.
