In the replacement of Lieutenant
Governor Watres by Hon. Walter Lyon
there is consolation by reason of the
fact that it will restore to this city and
community one who has for twelve
years served 1t and the state with con-
spicuous credit at Harrisburg. Should
the same law OF promotion obtain in
the future as that which four years
ago took him from the floor Of the sen.
ate and made him the Republican leu
tenant to a Democratic governor, few
Scrantonians would be surprised and
no decent one would feel sorry.

The bill of the state board of health
authorizing the establishment of town
ship health boards is now before the
legislature. It's principles cannot be
assailed. There is a growing belief that
precautions in protection of the public

tinuous, covering federal, state, munich

Senator Penrose has introduced bill
at Harrisburg authorizing any city or
borough to raise money by taxation,
the levy not to exceed two mills on the
dollar, for the establishment and main
tenance of free libraries. \ law SINH
lar To this has long been in operation
in Massachusetts, and as a conse-
quence, where Pennsylvania has only ten
municipal free libraries-aud these the
result of private dOnation-Massachu
sctts has more than 900. all of them
flourishing. The remarkable success Of
the Albright memorial library in this
city is a strong argument in favor of
permitting the establishment by taxa
ton, of similar institutions in boroughs
or cities in which private generosity has
not paralleled the magnificent work of
the Albright heirs.

City Solicitor Warwick, of Philadel-
phia, is no doubt personally an able,
courageous and clean-handed man. The
Republican party could hardly select a
better man for mayor. The fact is,
hawever, that the manner of his nomi-
nation over Penrose has beclouded the
prospect of his election; and the Republi-
can party in Philadelphia would be fool

The Altoona Tribune is convinced of
two things; first that Senator Quay has
somehow tried to rob the people of
Philadelphia Of their right to home
rule; and secondly, that Senator Quay,
on general principles, is bold and bad

errors, for neither of its suppositions

alton should rest justly and equitably
upon both, having due regard to every
privilege, advantage and related interest.
Neither should be a target for the dema-
gogue or the tool of the avaricious. Wise
laws rigidly enforced are Indispensable TO
both as well as to the state. Every man
has the right to sell his labor at his own
price, and is entitled to protection in ITS
performance. Labor has the right to Or
ganize for mutual protection and advan-
tage the same as capital; but neither la
Dor nor capital has the right to combine
to prevent men from working at any
price they please, no more than capital
has the right to control or pervert the
natural channels of industry so as to de-
press the price of labor or raise the cost
of living. l have been constrained to
dwell somewhat upon this subject, be-
cause in the further development of our

peace and dignity of the state, and for the
preservation of the lives and property
of her citizens, that there shall be no re-
currence of law-breaking methods to en-
force a settlement of private disputes.
The state is concerned that there shall be
industrial peace; that mining, manufac-
turing, trade and commerce shall con-
tinue without Interruption and to the ad-
vantage of all concerned; and | shall re-

fore the public for its judgment, where

Disposing thus of two topics of ma
tional import, the governor next adj
dresses himself to two other themes of
primarily state concern-the public
schools and the public roads. These
portions of his address may be briefly
summarized as favorable to an ampli-
fication of the public school system

aid to struggling communities where

THE exposure made by the
JOURNAL in the matter of the treas
ury deficit left by the late county
court was a fine piece of strategic
work, and it proves conclusively
that the Republicans Of the county
must sustain their party paper if
they want the interests of the party
guarded. Had we not brought
the matter to light as VIC did, ii
would have been kept quiet until
Just previous to the next election.
and then our Democratic friends
would suddenly have discovered
that there was deficit in the treas

the credit to ourselves. We will
