MRS. VAN DYKE INJURED.
Walked in Front of a D., L. Il w.
Passenger Train.

Mrs. Sarah Jane VanDyke, age 81
years, at 1928 o'clock yesterday after
noon, walked i'm front of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western passenger
train on the Bloomsbury division, due
in Scranton at $50 o'clock y. m. She
was taken to the Lackawanna hospital
where she now lies in a dangerous
condition. The left shoulder blade is
broken and the physicians fear serious
results from internal injuries.
The point where the accident occur
red is directly opposite Carlucci's stone
works about 200 feet north of the cross
ing. Mrs. Van Dyke was walking down
the tracks. An engine was switching
cars on the down track and in avoiding
this danger the woman walked blindly
in front of the fast approaching pas
senger train. There is a curve at the
place, but Engineer William Roberts
saw the woman many feet ahead.
The bell was ringing and the whistle
screamed a warning but the woman
seemed totally obliviOus of her position
and before the brakes could be fairly
applied the engine had knocked her to
the side of the track.
She was picked up and carried to the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
station by the same train. An exam
nation at the hospital discovered the
injuries mentioned. Mrs. Van Dyke is
"a housekeeper for George Blaine, of 4l4
South Eighth street.

Been Upin the Lamp Room

You ought to go up. We are
showing the incest line of medium
priced lamps in the city. Just the
kind of lamp you want to buy,
not merely look at, at from, say
two to ten dollars for lamp and
shade. Between those two prices
is found what most people want.
We have them here in great pro-
fusion. Higher priced ones, too,
and some cheaper. Better look
them Over--they're educators in
lamp buying.

THE DIGNITY OF ADVERTISING.

the tin whistle and bilious pill typt
to one of dignity and solid commercial
! enterprise. No branch of business has
| made greater strides; no branch has
risen more rapidly from obscurity TO a
| commanding position. Its progress
has been on right lines. The adver.
| uSer-the representative advertiser
is no longer the patent mudicine ven

facturer, the merchant, the publisher.
the tinancier, the educaor. And all
this has come about within a generation

brought the consumer and the manu-

NEW STATEHOOD BARRIER

There must surely develop in the
next year a great prejudice against the
west in the Republican party. The
only bolt or threat of bolt in the las
national Republican convention was
| from the west, and one of the boiling
states was one which had just beeI
admitted by the grace of the eastern
politicians-Utah.
An eastern dislike for the western
states means an end of the making OF
western states until the silver issue is
done for.
Oklahoma is ready for statehood. 1t
has the people, the resource and lOca-
ton, but being for free silver it is
bound to be met with an obstinate OPP
position from the eastern wing of both
parties. Two more silver senators
from the west is an idea that will not
be tolerated so long as the silver ques-
ton is an active agent in the shaping of
campaign issues.
SO Oklahoma viii have TO wait, IN
less the Republicans of the east are
that nothing whatever is to be gained
by antagOniSm of the western terri
tories. and a great deal is to be lost.
Part of oklahoma IS as far south as
Alabama Geographically it is a
southern state Its leaningS are to-
ward the Republican party. If let
alone it will become easily a Republi-
can commonwealth. But if the Re
publicanS adopt a proscriptive policy
towards the entire west oklahoma
must eventually be lost to the Republi-
can party and through that party'S own
policy.
The duty of congress at its next SeS-
sion is 10 pass an enabling act for Ok
lahoma without any question or quib-
bic. Oklahoma Will come into the
Union as 4 Republican state. It's
United States senator viii be for the
Republican party and its policies, but
they viii, as thousands of other Re
publicanS, reserve the right NJ protest
against the gold standard Of money as
a party tenet Two such senator's
might hold their silver views above
their tariff convictions and block pro-
pective measure along with other Re
publicans, and temporarily cost the Re
publican party much. But eventually
oklahoma As Republican state viii
be Of great political value and it is the
duty Of the Republicans TO take it re-
gardleSS OF its differences with the
eastern branch Of the party. To delay
in the matter is 10 persuade the people
of oklahoma 70 look TO another party
for fair treatment and the RepubI-
cans first break into the south through

an expense above the amount OF his
fee, but he decided 10 go 10 Boston. let
the cost be what it might He gained
the case.
Years after this, Webster was pass
ing through New York City. An i'm
portant insurance case WAS 20 be tried
that day, and one Of the counsel had
suddenly been Frustrated by illness.
Money was no object, and Webster
was asked to name his terms and con-
duct the case. He looked at the papers
and consented. IL was his old twenty
dollar case over again, and. having q
remarkable memory, he had al the
authorities in his mind, and won the
suit The court knew he had no time
for preparation, and was astonished
at the skill with which he handled the
case. So he was handsomely paid,
both in fame and money, for the jour
ney TO Boston.
The moral is that good work is re-
waried the end; though, TO be sure,
ones own self-approyal should be
enough.

HoMELY WORDS AND SINCERITY

Except in one instance there is little
else in the utterances of William Nc
Kinley, in the last Two days which are
more than common Fluctuations TO his
neighbors and other callers and con-
gratulatorS.
The one exception is this. delivered
at Canton, Ohio, on Friday: ''Hearken
10 the voice of the people, have faith
in the people; and if we do that the
/ people will win for US a triumph for
that great masterful principle which
in all years of the past has given US
! plenty and prosperity"
The Eagle has contended throughout
that Major Mckinley being a man Of
few words, is a man who puts the fast
color CT sincerity into what little he
| does say. When he gives TO the people
this prestige in the government Of the
country, he IS speaking his true senti-
ments and his sentiments are that the
great common people do run the gov
eminent, that they are superior 10 the
political manipulators, that they do
and that they do rule as it was mend
ed by the constitution they should rule.
The great confidential remark among
the SOphistS Of this time is that the
great common people are mere tools;
that they decide nothing; that they
control nothing; that they rule nothing;
that the vote which is given them is
emptiness and vanity, which keeps
them contented but blind.
When Mckinley says ''Hearken TO
the voice Of the people" he means that
he Is willing TO be their agent, not
their leader; that he recognizes in vox
pOpuh the voice OF determination and
destiny and of OmnipOtence, which no
man can oppose or ganiSay and pros
per. 1t is difficult TO divorce the idea
of demagOgy from such utterances,
because such utterances have been so
common and SO fnsincere. But it is
not 50 with Mckinley. He really does
believe in the people. He really does
honor their power and their honest ap-
plication of that power.
AItdCuSu 10 IL pItuClplc WHICH HAS
taken his name, and imbued with the
conviction that he was right, he stood
by the principle when the whole nation
cried him down for a faker and 4 fan
attic, for he believed that the people
could not always err and that once dis
covering error, they would turn to
rectify and repent So he practically
stood waiting alone for a vindication
by the people, not asking, and expect |
ing no aid and receiving none from |
the politicians who are supposed to
manipulate public sentiment.
'Hearken to the voice Of the peo- |
ple' from Mckinley may seem plati- /
tudinous. 1t may have been said many |
times before. But when Mckinley |
spoke it. it had added to it the rare |
virtue of sincerity and with sincerity !
no homely thought Is old.

M'KINLEY VS.. THE BOSSES.

1t had Of late come TO be quite prover-
hal that a great man could not attain
the office Of president The truly
great and fearless man would have
enemies, would have selfish political
bosses 10 keep him out OF the highest
honor in the peoples gift. Since the
days OF jackson has this been noted.
commented upon and regretted. OF
the great triumvirate Clay, Webster
and Calhoun no one Of them reached
the presidency. Webster and Calhoun
We're never seriously thought ~ in
this connection. Clay. however. set his
heart o. the Office a. no man ever did.
Clay WAS the most popular man Of his
day. He was gifted, versatile, fluent
ia speech. warm hearted. the idol OF the
multitude. But ne was allowed 70
carry the Wing banner in a forlorn
hope and was set aside when victory
would have bsen his. The nomination
Of Harrison IN $50 was the policy Of
winning, a polite nomination. Harri-
son WAS elected as would Clay have
