Registers Will Be Placed in the
North Scranton Buildings.

The Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany notified Secretary Fellows, of the
school board, yesterday that on and

ton. The company stated that this

stance in which they have been placed
In other buildings. 1t is believed that
before school opens in the fall they
will have been installed in all the

loo iaIch Apathy in This State.

When MT. Robinett of Blount County asked the State Campaign Committee to consider the critical condition of the Demo- cratic canvass in the Seventh Congressional District he simply spoke what all close ob- servers of the district fear. The reelection of MT. Burnett Is in doubt. He amply de- serves reelection, for he has been a zealous and efficient member, and if the district keeps him in Congress he will become an in- fuential member. New members are rarely, if ever, very influential or prominent, and MT Burnett has done all that new mem- Der could do. He should be returned
 But the district is very perverse. It has not of late been Democratic, and a big ef- fort will be made by the Populists and Re- publicans to displace MT. Burnett The dan ger of such action should be recognized In the district, and active steps taken to meet it and overcome it. MT. Burnett can be re- elected if every Democrat in the district will wake up and go to work.
 The entire State for that matter should wake up. The people are very apathetic. This should not be. We need d Democratic President, and we need Dmocratic House of Representatives above all else. Unless Alabama Democrats wake up two of the States nine Representatives will be anti Democratic. A full vote is needed, too, in order to break the force of the attempt that will be made by the Republicans to cut down southern representation Every Denl- ocrat should make up his mind to go to the polls in November, and he should take his neiehbors along.

Air. Bryan Indorses an Income Tax

Mr Bryan is not dodger or skulker, He stands firmly and consistently up to his convictions, and his convictions are not Of the Mckinley interchangeable sort. Dis like him much as one may on account of his convictions, yet all must respect his courage and manliness in standing up at all times and in all places for his copvic- tions. In brief, he is an honest outspoken man--one of million in public life, and this is perhaps one of the reasons why he Las larger personal following than any other American statesman that all our history has been able to present.
 This trait of frankness and devotion to principle is made manifest in many pass ages in his letter of acceptance, but in none more than in his support of an income tax. The Kansas City platform advocates an income tax without mentioning it, and MT. Bryan takes occasion to say in his recent letter:
 By inadvertance the income tax plank agreed upon by the resolutions committee was omitted from the platform as read and adopted. The subject however, is covered by the reaffirmation of the Chi cago platform, and take this occasion to reassert my belief in the principle which underlies the income tax. Congress should have authority to levy and collect in- come tax whenever necessary, and an amendment to the Federal Constitution especially conferring such authority ought to be supported by even those who may think the tax unnecessary at this time. In the hour of danger the government can draft the citizen; it ought to be able to draft the pocketbook as we'll Unless money is more precious than blood, we cannot af- ford to give greater protection to the in- comes of the rich than 10 the lives of the poor"
 MT Bryan makes clear whatever he touches, and he has studied public ques- tions so thoroughly he can present in few lines a comprehensive view. This is the case in the paragraph quoted. It covers the ground and it will meet the approval of every Democrat. It commits the party to the passage of an income tax amend ment that a subservient court cannot mis- construe. It is an appeal for taxation that is lightest felt It calls for just taxation and if calls for more taxation power in the general government in an emergency. IL is patriotism and in the long run, after a hard and bitter fight with the entrenched olgarchs, it will be adopted, and Justice shtras will no longer be able to boast that he changed his views and the governmental taxa ton system in a single night.

CORRESPONDENTS
Called Down for Sending Out Alleged
 False Reports

New Orleans, September 19.-Graham Rice, the New York newspaper correspond ent in Galveston, during the recent hurri- cane disaster and who was reported by the press dispatches yesterday morning to have been arrested Monday night on the indefinite charge of having sent out false reports as regards Galveston's condition, arrived in New Orleans this morning on his way to New York In an interview he said that he was not arrested at all.
 T received a telephone message Monday night to come to Capt. Hunt McCaleb's of- flee, and as he Is the officer in charge of everything, I did so," said MT. Rice. "He upbraided me for having sent out a mes- sage stating that Galveston would never be able to fully regain it's former prestige as a port. That was the principal fault he found with my dispatches I pointed out that Captain Baxter of the United States Army had sent similar telegram to the acknowledgement at Washington. Me Caleb took up my pass, and told me that I could not get any more news from his office. It was reported that he was trying to locate Mrs. Winnifred Black, represent ing a New York paper, for the purpose Of taking up her pass also. The truth is, the Galveston authorities are very sensitive about any remarks that go to show that Galveston has lost any of her advantages from the storm'

srRAw HAT SACRIFICE oN CHANGE

New York Letter in the Pttsburg Dispatch.
 Every man on Change today who object ed to the massacre of his straw hat had 1t presented to him in three pieces-the rib. bon, the rim and the crown If he still protested his merry companions stripped off his necktie and reduced that likewise to ribbons. Usually this was sufficient, but one or two brokers attempted to grow serious, and were promptly relieved of cuffs, handkerchiefs and collars. There were forty Wreeks in the way of headgear scattered over the Stock Exchange floor. Several were costly Panamas, which the owners vainly tried to retain. The chair man of the Exchange repeatedly called his boisterous comrades to order, but he might as well have talked to a cyclone. The war was one of extermination. Every time the rim of a hat was separated from the crown a cheer greeted the achievement. Some of the younger members organized a rough walkers squad and made miserable the life of every newcomer
