All along the line they “will make plenty of concessions and grant any number of ~ gervices gratis. Not so with the public utilities. Despite the fact that they can cut off power, lights or telephones if their customers are in arrears in payment of bills, they still _ have another comeback in the form of a five percent penalty “which they can add to the arrears and compound monthly : as long as hey wish to continue service With an unpaid hal- Besides bony given a monopoly i in their own field of en- Favor, public utilities are granted the additional favor of "penalties in order to collect their bills. Most businessmen would be overjoyed with the priviledge of having a mon- opoly without seeking and getting additional favors from ~ the State. UNFAIR - PENALTY If there is one bright spot in the whole political ma- % schinery of Luzerne county, it is the position Judge Alfred Valentine holds on the Common Pleas ~ BRINGS bench. ’ "HONOR TO While there are a number of excellent THE BEN CH men serving on the bench and while there have been any number of outstanding men who have served in the past, there have been almost as many mediocre and inferior men who have been elevated to the position of Judge in Luzerne county. There have been times when the respect in which the bench has been held as fallen pretty low in the estrnation of many citizens of the county. Of recent years there has been a marked growth of the respect in which the bench is held. Judge Valentine has "not been alone in bringing this about but his contribution - has played a great part. One might even say that the bench brings no honor to “a man of the calibre of Judge Valentine but that he brings honor and dignity to it. In accepting the office he left one of the most lucrative private law practices in the county ; which from a monetary standpoint held far greater attrac- tions than the judgeship. A brilliant lawyer before the bar, modern in thought, progressive in action, armed with courage and insight ~ judge Valentine is still of that old school of Americans who ~ place public duty above all else. He is not interested in ~ gaining the power which the political opportunities of such a high office afford. To him the distinction of being judge and the realization of the responsibilities of that office hold all that is necessary of power and honor. The bench is an end in itself for him not a stepping stone for political power. Many of his judicial decisions have been among the most brilliant handed down in the county. A student of the law, a capable attorney, he wins the respect of those who appear before him because of his vast fund of informa- tion on legal procedure. His recent decision in the Hanover township school case won for him hundreds of friends throughout the county as well as some enemies, but he had _ the courage to face the issue and hand down his decision without thought of friends or fear of enemies. However cynical we may become at times, and however doubtful we may be of the Democratic system of electing judges, men of the stamp of Judge Alfred Valentine and many of his colleagues renew our faith that intellegent this county. ¢ ("SPORT SLANTS By “Red” et Roger Hornsby's release as manager of the Chicago Cubs came suddenly. Yet is was not entirely expected. Always a great hitter and once one of the finest all around players in { baseball, his shifts from team to team have been comparatively frequent. The causes has been shrouded in mystery. that Hornsby has halfway It is no secret enemies. ~ There about it. He is said to be cordially hated by one group and beloved by another. He has bitter enemies, for every one he has a loyal admir- is nothing q-er, Here in Dallas several hundred mil- es from Hornsby’s main scene of op- eration, we know nothing of his case Not only are we in no position to judge, but we are in ignorance of the traits which make him hated or ad- mired. Perhaps the cause will be told some day. : It is said the breaking point be- tween Hornsby and the club owner- ship came when the former gave out an interview in which he described the Cub outfield. as terrible. If he said that, he told the truth. The Cub out- field has failed to measure up to it capabilities. The Rural League Race ‘When Rural League moguls decid- ed to make fourth place as valuable as first by means of a final series foi the ‘championship between the winne: and the runner up, they certainly suc- ceedd in manipulating a close situa- tion. As matters now tomorrow’s ‘games, even the last place club isn’t out of the race mathema- tically. It still can reach fourth place and possibly second. Although the odds are heavily against it. The next to the last place club i stand exclusive of ut four games out of first place, as lor the fourth place entry, it is onl) .wo and a half games out of and the irst three fteams are first lace, “unning neck and neck. Therefore, since a short series’ can ;0 either it must be said that ive clubs are still contnders for the way, championship, a sixth not altogether ost. : Herb Williams, manager of the Kingston township hase ball tesa has seen given orders by his doctor to zive up baseball for the rest of the season and go on a vacation to re- cuperate following an operation last fall, although Herb seems to be in the sink of condition, he still feels the ef- eived some time ago, following which ame an operation for appendicitis, Tc Mr. Wilgams goes the credit for or- zanizing the first baseball team tc gain admission to the Rural League, one of the fastest organizations in the Valley. Through his knowledge of the game and the ability to get players, he gave the fans of Shavertown a win- ning team last year, only to be de- prived of the champonship when an opposing team refused to meet his team for the title. who ever he may be we wish him success, anu to the fans of Kingston township, all that is necessary is to get behind the team and its backers and success will be assured. mnt Fernbrook, Beaumont and Kingston township were victorious in the games played in the Rural circuit last week, to 0. Abe Winters pitched and hélped bat in a victory over Idetown 16 to 7, and Fernbrook had an easy time de- feating a much improved imported Dallas team by the score of 10 to 2. In the Fernbrook-Dallas game, Eddie: Combs planted a hall into deep center- field for one of the longest hits seen on the Dallas field. Lefty leads the circuit with homeruns, with five.
