EDITORIAL COLUMN Devoted to the Current Topics of the Day 3 SENTIMENT VERSUS SENSE There is no sentiment in the election of a congressman. There are - many issues connected with such an election. Facts must be founded by logic and logic in it biggest, broadest application is just [plain common sense. - The friends of Mrs. Sarah C. Casey, Democratic and Labor nominee for Congress, are endeavoring to wrap about her'a sentiment which has no place in politics, and which, if it did in this instance, is nothing more than subterfuge cut from the cloth to deceive the voter. Whether or not Mrs. Sarah C. Casey goes to congress as the repre- sentative of this district, she will draw a salary of $10,000 from the same congress. Win or lose the $10,000 salary of the office for one year, is her’s without quibbling. It is the rule of Congress that when a member dies, his widow or his ‘nearest of kin shall bel voted the full salary for the year. It is a precedent long estabished in the House of Representatives and it has been followed in the matter of the death of John J. Casey just as it has in the deathfof other congressman. When the late congressman was ill in the Panama Canal Zone, Congress passed a resolution making it possible for the oath of office to be administered to him on his sick bed. That cath was administered and immediately Congressman Ccsey was subject to all the rules and precedents of Congress. That very act made his widow eligible to his salary for the year, and the $10,000 goes to her without any dispute or argument. Sentiment, then, is removed from the special election of June 4th ~ when a representative is to be elected from this district. There are facts and issues connected with that election, and the rule of common sense applies to them. In the first place Congress is overwhelmingly Republi- can. Pennsylvania, with the lone exception of Luzerne, has elected a solid Republican delegation. The nation at large swept Al Smith from the national picture and Herbert Hoover into the presidency with an unprecedented Republican vote. In both the Senate and the House, the administration is backed by substantial Republican majorities. Mrs. Casey, were she elected to represent the district in the special session of Congress, could do just two things—draw another $10,000 as salary, and sit on the sidelines hoplessly in the Democratic minority re Heard Around the Corner (re Who's the Squire One day last week we understand that a justice of the peace from one of our neighboring municipalities at- tempted to preside in Justice Ander- son’s place in the borogh. The party on trial immediately took advantage of the situation and when the squire and Chief woke up ‘they hurriedly conslted their book on “Hoyle” and discharged the defendant. Qite a laugh was had. on the squire more particularly than on the officer. However, we must all learn and no harm was done. School Teachers Appointed Various comment was heard around the corner about the action of our local school board in its selection” of teachers. This colmn feels that the board made some good appointments. We are most gratified to see that they are favoring local girls and that Miss Patterson received a school. Miss Patterson was an exceptionally bright pupil in both high school and normal, and she will make a good teacher. We sincerely regret that Mrs. Rood would not consent to apply for another term. Justice of the Peace We ‘do not see what attracts so many to the office of the Justice of the Peace. We hear that our vener- able Squire Cook, who is contemplat- ing running for reelection will have at least one if not two opponents. Auditor We are glad to note that inferest is arising in the selection of some competent men for the office of audi- tor. In the past it has ben a hard proposition to get thea three duly elected auditors together long endligh to audit or borough and school books bt it seems that the people of the town want these audits made as they should be, yearly, and to that end will place some names of local persons on the ballot in the Fall. The Week’s Doings —0:— Following a custom established a number cf years ago, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars launched a flower laden miniature war boat on the Susquehanna River ‘at Wilkes- Barre on Memorial Day. Soon after its launching the small craft was blown up by a prearranged blast, a selute of guns boomed out from the 109th iFeld Artillery across the river and the flowers carpeted the stream. The exercises were in memory of de- parted American veterans of land and sea. —O— William M. Lewis, president of Lafayette College, has announced two donations of $50,000 each.

She could have no voice in patronage as a Democrat. ~ She would not support the admistration. She would have ng voice in the council of Republicans. : Dr. Murray Turpin, could do big things for Luzerne. As a Republican, working with the admistration and the majority, his accomplishments can be great for labor, for the farmer, for his general constituescy. He would “Back Hoover”. ~The facts in the case speak for themselves. : The course for the intellegent voter should be plain—VOTE — One-Legged Farming System Won’t Stand Up as BIGGEST NOT ALWAYS BEST Thousands of farmers who are now depending upon cash crops could double their income by combining the, production of cash crops and feed crops with well-managed live stock states the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. succeed at The saying that “Fine goods come in small packages,” applies to many farm products, the Sears-Roebuck Ag- ricultural Foundation states.

Diversification permits more effective use of man and horse labor and machinery. Farmers who rely on live stock are “more likely to have a proper propor- tion of their acreage in legumes than hose who depend solely on crops for their income, the Foundation adds. Live stock helps to preserve the fer- tility of the soil, saves labor by har- esting some crops without cost, uti- lizes waste land and waste crop prod- nets, provides more of the family liv- ing and gives the farmer profitable oc- pation during the winter, turning months old, driven to market on foot in former years, have been displaced by those only half a year old and weighing around 200 pounds. Lambs of 80 to 85 pounds bring a big prem- ium over heavy weights, although it is very easy to grow them much larger.

Stark, representative in the State Legislature from Wyoming County, died this week at the home of his sister, Mrs. eGorge N. Doyle, of Tunkhannock. Active in Grange work, interested in good roads and a former school teacher, Mr. Stark was a leader in the Pennsylvania legislature. Ener- getic, he had for many years been secretary of the Wyoming County Fair Association. Largely due to his ef- forts many modern improvements have been made to the fair grounds. Tall, well built, an interesting conversa- tionalist, wearing a black sombrero and leng black coat, the capable legis- lator made a striking appearance wherever he went. —_—— The bow and arrow is now a legal device for taking game in Pennsyl- vania. oGvernor Fisher recent ap- proved this and many other changes in the State game laws. The great grey owl have been stricken from the unprotected list. These birds almost never appear in Pennsylvania. The $2 bounty has been taken off red fox. The | great fur value on these creatures is deemed sufficient to keep them well nder control. The season on raccoons has been changed from opening October 1 to November 1. Racoons can be hunted only during the hours, one hour after-sunset to one hour be- fore sunrise. A bounty of $5 has been placed in Goshawks. oO —-Loyalville- ——) v The Laketon Juniors will present “Mammy’s Lil’ Wild Rose” Saturday Church. The Ladies’ Aid Society will serve a supper in the M. E.

A YEAST FOR THE JUNIOR - SENIORS Js HEN the Juniors and Seniors pi get together for their yearly banquet it is proverbial that appetite is keen. Accordingly the wise committee sees to it that the menu is a substantial one. Yet, to please the more fastidious among the group it must contain something that is a little unusual. : Tn the following menu the canapés which are served as the first course and are eaten with a fork are not common. Neither is the combina- tion of pineapple and sweet potatoes —but how good it is. The Roque- fort cheese dressing is simple to make and not unduly expensive, con- sidering how comparatively little of the cheese it takes to flavor the mayonnaise. Simple But Novel All the recipes are so simple that they can be made in a minimum of time and yet they are novel and appetizing.
