Join heartily In tho wish tlmt the
sovoro bloWlt litis received in tho
destruction of its books, papers and
abcxlo will only stir tho pooplo to
groator activity in putting it on a
solid basis of prosperity ngain.
Whilo not intending to ' rako ovor
nny nsbos " wo think such an in
stitution should bo run on a business
basis and governed by just as rigid
laws ns any corporation for profit.
To effectually accomplish this ond
tho Association should bo incorpo
rated undor our laws, and its con
stitution and by-laws provide for
the oloction to office only of thoso
who nro " bona fldo " members, and
mnlo so by holding paid-up shares
of stock.
Wo intond no refloction on tho
prosont board of direction, but ex
perience has taught that tho Ly
ceum was subjected to considerable
annoyance, criticism and possible
groat loss by reason of the fact that
an irresponsible, designing and as
we viow it dishonest party was
urgod for chiof officer, und tacitly
allowed undor the guise of obtain
ing funds for its aid to materially
swell his own private account. '
Whilo this may not have brought
tho Lyceum nny ill repute yet it
probably did deter thoso who wore
sincere in its wolfare from taking
active Intorost in its affairs, whon
thoy saw those urgod as its man
agers who neither had or deservod
the confldonoe or respect of the
community. An incorporation would
romody any such opportunity in the
future, and pooplo could with con
fidence enter into the spirit of build
ing up a worthy object.
REPORT OF DR. ROTHROCK.
The Commissioner of Forestry
presents an able review. In March
last the report of the Commissioner
was presented to the Legislature,
and it has just boon printed in a
separate volume comprising Part
II of the report of the State Do
portmont of Agriculture for 1895.
The volume is mainly comprised of
tho report of Dr. Rothrock the
Ion mod botanist of tho commission
and the active Commissioner. For
years it has been apparent that the
massive forests which onoe oovored
tho hills and valleys of our State
wore rapidly disappearing, and year
by year we have seen tho ' amount
of lumber floated down the Delaware
diminish until now it is so inconsi
derable as to hardly be worth
mention. The small streams have
gradually run dry, and those which
at one time furnished a home for
the lusty trout, now barely trickle
over the stones and moss covering
their beds. This wasting away has
been almost imperceptible, but it
has been constant and sure and peo
ple are awakening to day to the
solemn fact. Our ridgos on which
the oak, pine and chestnut formerly
grew are now covered with the
blackened and charred twigs ot scrub
oaka, and are nearly barrens One
can ride for miles along the roads
traversing the interior of the oouuty
and not see a stick which will make
any kind of timber. Nothing but a
waste, destruction, and devastation
of the sprouting shoots on all sides,
with occasionally a glimpse of a
pine standing in blackened loneli
noss. Many causes have combined
to produce this result, and whilo nt
one time there may have been a
feigned motive, ovil no doubt, such
as firing tho .woods to conceal de
predations, or protect bark pooled,
or soino othor doubtful reason, yet
at this time none can possibly exist
Thoro is nothing to burn, nml no
earthly excuse for burning it, yet
tho samo annual fires occur wherever
thore is sufllclont accumulation of
leaves or woods to food thorn. Had
thore boon moderate enro exorcised,
or could the fires Iki kept out for a
few years our county would prosont
a vastly different apponraneo, both
to tho eyo and to tho desire of the
settler and tho lumliortnnn. Tho
humus is actually burned off, and
even with tho boHt efforts man and
nature in conjunction could put
forth, many years would olapso bo
fore tho forests or a tithe of tho
original fortuity could bo regained
Tho pooplo of tho State are
awakening under tho persistent
teachings of men who fully realise
tlio state of tho matter, and are bo
coming arousod to the necessity of
soino action to restore and presorve
tho wealth of timbor of which tho
hills hnvo boon denuded. To do
this will roquiro vigorous moasures
and our Legislature at its coming
session should provide thorn. In
1893 a temporary commission was
authorized to investigate tho subject
but tho fluccooding session refused
to carry out tho rocoommondations
as to forostry legislation, but did
provide for a continuation of tho
work by creating a Forostry com
missioner, and Uovornor Hastings
appointed Dr. Rothrock to the posi
tion. His report eloquontly de
picts the waste cnusod by want of
State protection of our forests ond
shows how tho forests have boon
destroyed by lumbermon ond that
too without the slightest regard or
apparent care for the sucoooding
growth, ond how this ruthless des
truction has boon roinf orood by tho
firos oarelossly or wantonly started
and wilfully allowed to burn. Tho
hillsides robbod of protection have
boon tern, washod and gullied. The
streams have disappeared or bocomo
insignlfloont threads of water at tho
dry season and torronts of soil in the
rainy. Our own county f urnishos
the most practical and startling ovi-
donoeof those facte, and mon yot
young can recall magnificent forests
of plno, hemlock and hard wood
which have now disappeared with
nothing but tangled briors, black
onod stumps, ond a bod of stones in
thoir places. Acros of land now
undor so callod cultivation would be
far more profitable to thoir ownors
if covored with a good growth of
oak and chestnut. It would pay to
plant thorn out with troos. This
generation might not reap tho re
ward, but the noxt would in ten fold
measure. It is hoped that the com
ing legislature has learned the les
son and will provide some means by
which the deforestation may be
checked, and that great adjunct to,
the wealth of any state, timbor.may
be protected and its lnoroaso propor-
ly stimulated. The roport deals
largoly with the question of what
forest trees can be profitably raised
in the Btato and the best moans to
make them grow. Thore are forty-
seven photographs which tell a
truthful talo and they are used to
illustrate the text. The report is
written in a clear and easily com
prehended style, an treats the sub
ject in an interesting and exhaustive
mannor. It should be widely cir
culated among and read by the poo-
ple.
PLEASE GIVE US A REST.
Mr. Bryan apparently not satisfied
with the viow the peoplo took of
him his parti colored parties, and
free silver notions, throatens to
keep his mouth working for the
next four years. We hope he will
reflect, think better of it, as it were,
and give the counrtry a rest. Most
newspaper editors have now con
signed to the waste basket all the
odds and ends of the 18 to 1 busi
ness, and it only lives as a sort of
nightmare in their minds. The peo
ple thoroughly understood it and
thoy hove condemned it.. Won't
Mr. Bryan, please let them nloni
whilo they go on nnd make tlio
country prosperonsnnd happy? Ho
was an Issue but died ns ttmcli Nov.
8. Why can't ho bo decent about it
and stay dead, and not squeak and
gibber about tho country anymore
If ho does insist on' another funeral
thoro won't bo any remains nejet
time to even hold nn inquest over
Even our "erower" hero in l'ilu
would not get a piece largo enoiif;li
to smoll of much less to sit upon.
GOOD ROADS.
At tho coming Farmers' Institute,
good roads will be a prominent sub
ject for discussion. There is no siih
tiou of country where they can bo
so easily nnd cheaply mmlo m this
valley, nnd with tho' reputation we
now have for them among tho
wheelmen, it behoove our pooplo to
add as much ns possible to their at
tractiveness. This valley is a grout
thoroughfaro, its renown bus spread
far and wide and overy year will
moro widely diffuse tho good im
pression, if tho people will keep
pvoo with tho requirements. The
roads should bo widened in many
places, ovorhnnglng branches cut
away, tho swells on tho hills taken
out and drain tilo substituted, and
tho roads kept well rounded so as
to prevent washing. Loose stones
aro easily removed and with a little
c iro could bo kept out tho roads.
We could havo urt ideal thorough
fare for bicyclists and it would pay
in moro ways than one. Wo will
give a year's subscription to tho
Press to that supervisor next year
who will evince the most care, and
exorciso tho greatest diligence in
kooplng his section of tho ron ls in
tho best repair.
A scant majority in Old Pike for
tho Domopopanarchlstio candidate
for Congress I I I Well, if some of
tho spooks of tho old departed Well
bos, Dimmicks, Brodheads, Van
Aukons, Van Gordons and other old
time Domocrats of thot rocky county
can look down on this terrestrial
ball, thoy must think things in Pike
are all topsy-turvy indeed 1 In tlio
old days thore wore not 245 Republi
can votes in all Piko, but things are
changed. Tho forests havo 'gone,
tho rattlers aro fewer, tho copper
heads havo rotroatod to tlio forest
fastnossos, tho wildcats and. bears
live mostly in tho yarns in certain
New York and Philadelphia dailies,
tho pooplo are drinking less apple-
Jack and moro of tlio puro water
that gushes from tho mountain
springs, school houses havo increased
in number, industrial progress has
boon mado, and thoro has been a
gonoral montal, moral, social, in
dustrial and political uplifting in
that rocky cornor of tho Keystono
State, all of which is reflected in the
incroasod Republican vote nnd in the
correspondingly decreased Democra
tic vote ! Coal Gazotte.
, He Was Cured.
The advisability of again establish
ing the old timo whipping post, as a
moans of punishment, has of late
years been much discussed. A
group of men rooeutly wore relating
some boyhood experiences long bo
fore the war. Ono gray haired vo
toran recalled tho timo, when his
father as sheriff of the Country was
callod upon to administer punish
ment to a negro, charged with soino
potty theft. Tho punishment being
forty whip lashes. Tho nogro was
brought before him, tied to tho post,
his back bared, and eight short
switches socurod. Near by stood a
magistrate who after each stroke
slowly repeated thoso words "God
save tho State."
According to Bible customs forty
lashes save one were given. At the
end of this impressive ceremony.tho
nogro returned homo a wiser and
sadder man, and it was related,
never appeared again for another
dose.
An Uuseuiuly Wrangle.
That was an nnseomly, not to say
ghoulish, wrauglo between county
officials about the burial of an un
known daad man found in Williams
township on Friday last. Tho Bur
gess of South Easton saved the re
putation of the borough officials by
ordering tho remains removed and
interred, making himself responsi
ble. But it will now ttiko strong ac
tion in the direction of decency and
propriety to remove the Uisraoo
which certain county otliciuls
brought upon themselves in not
promptly performing their duties
in this grave matter.

You agree that baking pow
der Ii best for raising. Then
why not try to get its best re
sults? Just as easy to get all
its good none of its bad, by
having it made with digestion
aiding ingredients as in
KEYSTAR: greatest raising
strength, no bad effects. No
use to clog the stomach with
what never helps make flesh
and blood.
KEYSTAR is the one all
digestible baking powder. Just
right for best baking results ;
harmless to a delicate diges
tion, fiooo forfeit if made
with alum or other bad. Fresh,
s-veetand pure, all foods raised
with it digest so easily that
you nro quickly surprised with
better appetite and health.
