Conductor I. Il McCleary were going
north on Lincoln avenue at 1918. They
noticed several children playing on the
right side Of the track near tho curb.
As the track runs very close 10 the curb
atthat place, the motorman was keep.

the child until within about twenty
feet OF 1t, and. the grade being steep, it
was impossible TO stop.

was Of such character that It disgusted
the best clement OF the Democrats who

In speaking OF Captain Dovener, he

TO MY FATHER.

Peace and her huge invasion to these
shores
Puts daily home; innumerable sails
Dawn on the far horizon and draw near;
Innumerable loves. uncounted hopes
TO our wild coasts, not darkling now, ap-
proach;
Not now obscure, since thou and thine are
there,
And bright on the lone isle, the foundered
reef,
The loud, resoundlng foreland Pharoah
stands.
These are thy works, father. these thy
crown;
Whether on high the air be pure, they
shine
Along the yellowlng sunset, and all night
Among the numbered stars Of God they
shine;
or wether fogs arise and far and wide
The low sea-level drown--each finds a
tongue,
And all night long the tolling bell re-
sounds:
So shine, so toll, till night be overpast.
Till the stars vanish, till the sun return,
And in the heaven rides the fleet secure.
In the first hour, the seaman in his skiff
Moves through the unmoving bay, to
where the town
Its earliest smoke into the air upbreathcs
And the rough hazels climb upon the
beach
To the tugg'd oar the distant echo speaks,
The ship lies resting, where by reef and
roost
Thou and thy lights have led her like q
child.
This hast thou done, and Lean be basef

Some lost complaining seaman pilot

burden on the party's shoulders. Past
debts have been abundantly dis
charged. The party is in a position
now to say authoritatively that as a
leader, he leads only to defeat; as a
boss he insults rather than placates
the people; as a politician, his strength
vanished with Tammany's downfall;
and as dictator he is succeeding only
in making himself ridiculous. 1t is time
for New York Republicans to see things
in their true light and to proceed to di-
vest themselves of the Platt incubus.
If they do this, it will mark a new era
of Republican reascendancy.

pnid Service Is Best.

From the Wilkes-Barre Times.
Scranton Is debating whether or no to
abandon their volunteers for q paid fire
department. We have tried both kinds,
neighbor, and find the paid department
much more efficient and fully warranting
the slightly increased cost. Our fire de-
partment is today one of the best equipped
and most competent in the state. Fires
in Wilkes-Barre are infrequent and rarely
are allowed to do much damage. Indeed
there are sometimes complaint on this
score when old and unsightly buildings
are afire. We would not think of return
ing to the village method of a volunteer
service and are surprised that progress
sive city like Scranton has clung to it SO
long.

Some Crises of Peace.

An excellent point was recently
made by Judge Rice, of the Luzerne
courts, when he refused to excuse from
jury service a Wilkes-Barre merchant
who pleaded the urgency of his per-
sonal business duties. Judge Rice re-
minded the gentleman that the states
eXaction Of jury service from each citi-
zen, on an average, amounts to but lit
tie; but that this little was of vast i'm
portance. The citizen who should shirk
his duty on the battlefield would at
once be branded a coward. Why
should a different term be applied to
the citizen who, in time Of peace, en-
deavors to shift infinitely less danger
Gus burdens upon the shoulders of in
different substitutes? The Wilkes
Barre Record, in this connection, COM
pliments Eckley B. Coke for his pune
tuality in always serving on juries
when summoned and in eXacting sim
liar punctuality from his employees.
Mr. Coke to be sure, does only his hon
est duty; but in these days even this Is
scarce enough, it seems, to occasion
agreeable surprise.
There is another similar direction in
which many well-intentioned business
men are often quite as remlss. When
a man is drawn on a jury, he Is fire.
quently compelled to serve, whether he
wishes to or not. This element of COM
pulsiOn to some extent, therefore, de-
tracts from the heroism of the service.
But no man is compelled to serve in
councils. When, therefore, clean and
representative citizen Is solicited by
friends to take a nomination so that
the duty of legislating for his ward and
his city may not fall into unworthy
hands, it is twice over as essential that
he should accept, thus lending to the
cause of good local government the
voluntary Endorsement of his active
personal interest, as it is that he should
do his occasional duty in the jury box
Yet it is an absolute fact in this city
that good men by the scores refuse tC
become candidates for common coun
ell although they fully recognize The
need Of radical cleansing of this de.
| Perforated branch OF the municipa
legislature. The excuse in this instance

Is it not time that the Importance Of

For sixteen years or so, the Republl-

to large extent under the thumb of
Thomas c. Platt While Tammany
was in a position ito make deals with
him, he was in a position to crack the
whip over the Republican party or

ously. During these years, Mr.. Platt
had the misfortune to place nothing but
defeats to his credit as a leader. Now

Of his inefficienoy as general-in-chief,
