A six-round boxing exhibition took place Monday evening at Plymouth be tween Thomas Quigley, of Wilkosbarre. and Hugh Ward, of Plymouth. It was a match that taxed Quigley's staying I powers and it was the consensus of ■ opinion that if the go had gone two . more rounds the Plymouth man would i have knocked his opponent out.

Mrs. Laura Gregory, of West Pittston. tried to kill herself by taking a dose of strychnine, when she and hor husband quarreled.

The coroner's jury has decided that Robert Packer Short/, the novelist, who was found dead in a Wilkosbarre hotel, died from accidontal inhaling of illumin ating gas. Save Your Tax Receipts. Yesterday's Wilkosbarre Record calls attention to the fact that under the act of assembly approved June 4. noi. all taxes assessed after the above dato against real estate become liens against such real estate. The law is now in force and it is necessary, therefore, that owners should see that taxes are paid and that tho receipts are carefully pre served. It might be a protection to have tho specific piece of real estate described in a brief way in the receipts. It does not matter in whose name the assessment is made, the lien attaches to tho land. Tho neglect of a tenant to pay tho taxes which ho undertakes to pay by his lease might prove disastrous to tho owner of the land. Watch the date on your paper. ! ISMS AND PROGRESS. THE AMU9ING SIDE OF SO CALLED HUMAN WISDOM. An Ideal From a llad Source —lt Means Wealth For the Few and HIIK For the Million—Problem. AVe Haven't Solved. [Special Correspondence.! It has often been stated by first class authorities on the subject .that the ma jority of books having a permanent value In healthy human growth are only read by a few professional people or students lu each generation, While the bulk of the trashy literature Is rend by millions upon millions. That Is the experience of every librarian or observ ant person along that line. The fact Is accepted as self evident. Besides, our whole blind march through history proves that. And not only that, but the fact Is that even in the trashy litera ture so greedily devoured by the mil lions, wise or otherwise—even In that literature we can find enough to teach minds how to think If wo only try to read that trash not simply to pass time, , but to derive some instruction from It. Mental Inertia has no doubt been one Df the great enemies of humanity thus far. Puck has recently expressed that j Inertia as follows: j "It Is a pity that our ancestors loft us ' so many problems which they should l have solved; also that we are willing to pass the problems along.' There we have a splendid condensation of histor ical development. • Each generation i claims as a matter of course to have solved certain problems, but can we prove that it has Dot evolved one or more problems for each one It may have solved or has any problem been solved at all? ! In the order of science, sound philos ophy or even but plain sense we have to grasp the fundamental elements of a given subject before we attempt to solve any problem in connection with It. Take the subject of human growth und therefore that of soelal growth, and what is the general idea of most of our wise people In relation to social growth? Suggest to them any ism, as they call it—that Is, any simple, well defined process with which to eom i mence any social reconstruction—and they don't want to even study that Ism, I that process. They simply assert Its ln ellicacy without proving it. And they Implicitly tell you that social growth is a group of Incidentals without any fundamental element about It. Just as well say that the cosmos Itself Is a group of Incidental forces without the fundamental one of gravitation or i that religion is a mass of sentimentali ties and abstract dogmas without any concrete fundamental moral law at the root of all sentiment And now look at the folly of It. We have thus far abode by a certain Ism In what we have called progress. We have always stood by the ism of "legalized handitlsin" In our social adjustments, or, rather, maladjustments, while pre ! tending that nature or God had left us without any good ism through which ! to reverse the bad Ism on the founda- I tlons of which we have raised the fab | rlc of our civilization. The logic of hu man wisdom has always been some ! thing sublimely amusing—one fuuda- j mental process on which to erect a building that shall be shaking forever, ! giving us piles of trouble through countless centuries and no fundamen tal process on which to build up a solid social fabric. And yet by the law of j opposltcs one ism Implies another Ism, ; ; as the north Implies the south and the I east implies the west, as white carries the concept of black, right that of wrong, beauty that of ugliness, order j that of disorder, etc. Take now the word primary, first in the order of time or development. Ap ply It t<> progress, which, If it Is nny ; thing tangible, must take cognizance ; of those two elements, development | and time. And yet who can tell you anything precise about any primary law of progress? We don't want the bother of any such law. Perhaps It would interfere with our precious Ism, egotism. Perhaps It would force us to I adopt the opposite ism and apply It to | the social order and so permeate all ' our laws with the spirit of altruism, ! just the ism we hate and on account | of which we refuse to agree on any | specific process through which to at ! least partially suppress some of our great social wrongs. We don't object to sticking to the Ism that allows us to get on top of each other. We decid edly object to any Ism that would es tablish equity among us. And there we are, floating in the ocean of progress without any com pass, without any primary law of prog ress, yet foolishly asserting that we are constantly solving problems when we don't even wish to grasp the basic ele ment of any kind of progress, good or bad, right or wrong. With that child ish Infatuation peculiar thus far to hu ; nianity we assume that the word prog ! ress cannot be subject to any classlllca i tion and must necessarily be right no ; matter bow much wrong It may con ! tain. "Seek and you shall find; ask and It shall be given unto you." We act as if we had centuries ago found all that j we wanted without even asking for it. Yes, we have certainly found that the ism of egotism pays a certain price to some of us, the price of greater wealth than the other fellows may get. But, Indies and gentlemen, have you ever I stopped to notice that such an ideal 1 comes to us from the vilest heathens and Pharisees that ever lived? And do you propose to keep on along that 1 line of march even if it takes us not i the whole summer, as a certain general , said when attacking a certain position, , but hundreds of summers? Have you ever counted the cost of such a misera ; blc, idiotic policy? How long shall we prefer wealth for the few, rags for the 1 inauy, to joy aud abundance for all? ' i Jose Übos.
