(The Youngest Soldier in the U. 8. Army)
while very small infant was a great
strategist. He was sapper and miner,
and built breastworks of mud and forts
of stray bits of brick and stone. He had
always great regard for "Uncle SAM"
whom he regarded as real person and
one of his blood relatives.
About a year ago Johnny determined
to joint army, and prevailed upon his
father to enlist him. Being then under
IA, Johnny was enlisted by special order
as a drummer boy, and he is now one Of
the four field musicians at the post.
The other three are full grown men.
He receives $13 month, the same pay
that is given to all private soldiers, and
draws the same rations, clothing allow
ances, and everything else to which the
largest men in the service are entitled.
Like the other buglers Johnny is a
mounted orderly every three days. He
sounds the reveille at daybreak, the
breakfast call, sick call, the fatigue call,
guard mount, drill call, recall, dinner
call, fatigue call, retreat, supper, atten-
ton and taps.
If Johnny lives and continues in the
service he will retire before he is A
years old. There was but one other boy
like him in the army. That was john
ny Murphy, also a drummer at the
Long Island post, who enlisted when he
was 10 and served IL years as drum
mer boy. He took out his discharge
about IS years ago. Murphy's father
was likewise a soldier.

IlpOn a Victory Basis.

The week before election finds the
Republican campaign upon a victory
basis. once threatening dissensions
have in the main been healed; the ulity
of Republicans to their party Is receiV-
ing general attention; and the defec-
tion of the few former Republicans
who for personal reasons are now try
ing to wreck the party is being more
than counterbalanced by accessions
from the Democracy of men who re-
sent the uses to which the present
Democratic campaign is being put.
The organs of the opposition are of
course striving frantically to stem the
the leaders of the so-cllled Republi-
can revolt are, in desperation, redoub-
ling their energies; but all to no avail.
The common sense of the masses is
fast neutraliZing their work. Preju-
dice and jealousy are losing their hold.
1t has ceased to be a question of fac
tionalsm, and has become a question
of municipal safety.
The voters Of Scranton are rapidly
coming to realize that in the hands of
Ripple, Williams and Widmayer their
interests will be safe. They know these
men, know what they have done for the
city and what they can again do for
it. They do not propose to take any
risks Republican administration In
the past has been clean, honest and
progressive The city has proSOereu
under it. Great improvements have
been wrought and large expenditures
of money made without mistake or
scandal The significance of such
achievements is not lost sight of. The
lesson of them is not being ignored.
All that remains to clinch the bright
prospect of victory Is for active and
loyal Republicans to stand to their
guns. .----- -. ...-

Is IT Just?

Hyde Park Courier Progress.
Why there should be antagonlsms
against Mr.. Connell In this contest and
why they should be used to prejudice
Colonel Ripple's candidacy for mayor Is
rather surprising. We know this feeling
does exist and are aware Of the unpleas-
ant allegations made. But are they just?
Is Mr.. Connell being fairly and honestly
treated?
For a great many years Mr.. Connell
has been a leading spirit In our city. He
began as poor man. but by energy, per-
severance and the highest business quail,
ties has attained wonderful success. lie
as always been and Is an enthusiastic
Scrantonian. His great energy and ample
wealth have been used to build up the
city. He Is largely interested In dozens
OF industries In addition to his coal mines
that have contributed materially to our
progress and welfare. No doubt he has
millions invested In this city and Its i'm
mediate vicinity and many thousand souls
thereby earn q livelihood for themselves
and families. Ii Is true that Mr.. Connell
does not invest his money and boom the
town without hope of return. But vari-
Gus Scranton men have died and some
are now living as wealthy as Mr.. Connell
who were or are Of little practical bene-
iit to this city. because they do nothing
for home industries. AS Il Hyde Parker
said the other day in talking about Com
nel!ism," we wish We had Il William Con-
nell on this SIDE. We would have had
some of those industries here that We
have been wanting so long
In charitable work Mr.. Connelrs purse
seems to have no limit His generosity
Is almost unbounded and he gives thou
sands every year TO the poor and to in
stitutions that are for the poor. Think Of
that princely gift of $i5,O0O for the Elm
Park church and many other splendid do
nations to worthy causes. We think that
Mr.. Connell deserves our good will and
commendation. He Is doing grand SER
vice for mankind. and Is worthy of more
consideration and less abuse than he re-
ceives. The trouble is that there are
too few men Of Mr.. Connell's useful
stamp.

The Dunlop Theory Of Journ aIism.

The sentencing OF Joseph X. Dunlop,
two years in the penitentiary and to the
payment of $4,000 fine for sending in
decent literature through the mails is
an act which calls for grateful recogni-
tion. DunlOp's paper has long been no.
torious for its corrupt personal adyer-
tisements, which were given over al
most wholly to inmates of disorderly
houses and other disreputable women.
1t has also been stenchful in it's general
news columns, the theory of the pro-
prietor being that five readers cori6 be
got for q recklessly sensational sHeet
where only one would support a clean
paper tit to enter the circle of home.
That this theory, as matter of
mathematics, is substantially true cam
not be doubted. We all know that we
are more interested in evil reports than
in good ones. Where zen men will read
the report Of a sermon, at least one
hundred will read the report of prize
fight. AS between the proceedings of a
worlds parliament of religions and the
details of a scandalous divorce suit

readers choice would fall. The dullest
papers are the cleanest: to make a
"spicy" paper means to make one that
can be depended upon 70 magnify crime.
exaggerate the unexpected and deal
lavishly with the frothiness of current
affairs.
At the same time. publishers who care
anything for their self-respect will be
slow to put Dunlop's theory into full
practice. We do not say that 1t would
be possible to print an ideal paper and
find enough readers Tor 1t to sustain it.
There has to be concession to the
vulgar, the ignorant and the morbidly
curious. The day has not vet come
when newspaper dependent upon its
advertisers and subscribers for liv-
ing could afford not to print reports of
prize fights, scandals and crimes. But
1t can moderate these offenses
against good taste and be discreet and
circumspect. 1t need not make filth
