-"Everything comes to him

When Bismarck and the

now be called Old Bis.

Pop Gun Tactics.

Sensationalism is one form Of journal
istic evil that has pretty generally
fallen into dispute among intelligent
readers. But there is q kindred offence
that is yet too prevalent. 1t consists Of
publishing broadcast articles in which
the facts themselves may be accurate
enough, but which are OF such u nature
as to give the casual distant reader
false impressions. It is fact, for in

Gently brought harmful insinuations
to bear upon the deputy prothonotary.
1t is also fact that the latter official
promptly entered disclaimer. And it
is a further fact that the president
judge OF this county, knowing the cir
cumstances and the two men, promptly
rebuked the attorney. threw his charges
out of court and thereby viudicatsd the
attorneys victim.
But it was not a fact, although
special dispatches in certain mstropoli-
tan journals might lead distant readers
to infer, that these insinuations had
any particular significance. R,si-
dents of Lackawanna county, knowing
the prediction which the attorney in
point evinces for unearthing mythical
mares nests, would understand just
how to interpret this incident and
how to give it the requisite discount

Railroad Shrinkare.

The president of the Wabash rail
way system. Mr.. o. D. Ashley, has
compiled certain statistics with refor-
0nce to the recent shrinkage Of railway
property that are momsutouS in their
significance. In 1887 1877 new miles
Of railway were constructed. In 1893
the number Of new miles was below
2, 900 and the decline has been grad =
ual one. From 1887 to 1880. inclusive,
20, 315 nav miles were laid. an average
of S,172 miles per year, From 1890 to
1893, : inclusive, Notwithstanding
marked advances in other industrial
directions, the new miles aggregated
1926, an average of only 4,357 miles
ora yearly average decline of 1915
miles. Counting this annual loss for
four years, Mr. Ashley contends that 1t

The Elks' New Home.

No secret fraternity today possesses
grander principles or comes nearer to
the observance Of these principles In
everyday life than the Benevolent and
Protective Order Of ElkS, Outside the
church it would be difficult to find
place where the enduring elements of
progressive civilization. those cardinal
virtues which draw ami hold mankind
together and lift society mp to more
liberal culture, are IN clearer and
stsadier evidence than within the por-
tails Of representative lodge OF Elks.
Truly democratic, truly fraternal, the
order is more than this; for it embo-
dies in its ritual aai in its pledge Of
loyalty the very essence Of charity,
justice, fidelity and truth. Were in
