More Remonstrances Filed.

Attorney W. W. Lathrope yesterday
filed remonstrances against two liquor
license applications. that Of William
Kruger, who wants to conduct a
wholesale liquor store in the Third
ward Of Dickson City, and that Of JOS
eph Sommers, who would establish a
hotel on Maple street, Old Forge.
Special reasons assigned against the
Kruger application are that there are
two other licensed wholesale houses
within two blocks of Krugers place
and on the same street, and that the
building in which Kruger proposes to
open a third wholesale house is a dou-
BILE dwelling and not at all suited to
such business.
The remonstrance Is signed by Frank
Daubner, Thomas Proudlock, Barbara
Proudlock, Matthew Dobner. Garret
Howey, William Green and John STAN
ton. An objection, under separate COW
er, Is made by Constable Richard Bar
ron. He sets for that the Kruger
house is a double dwelling, occupied
at present by Kruger and another par
ty as residences; that it is not adapted
for business purposes, and is not in
the business portion of the town.
The remonstrance against Somners
sets forth simply that the hotel is not
necessary and would not be conducive
to the welfare Of the locality.

TWISTED BOOK TITLES.

1t is not hard to account for the en-
joyment which the average reader gets
from mistakes in the titles Of books
librarians and book sellers to record and
report.
Some philosophers declare that the es-
sence of THE funny" Hes in the dis
comfiture of some one, preferably SD
perior. Such fun hatters the self-ioye of
the reader or observer who escaped the
discontinue. They point to the hilarity
which a man excites when he sits down
in a place from which a chair has been
removed without his knowledge, or
when he tries to mount one step more
than flight Of stairs contains. This,
they say. makes a chlld's composition SO
amusing and puts the laugh into Hiber-
picisms and mixed metaphors.
This analysis applies fully TO the mis-
takes In the titles OF books. The man
who knows that Homer wrote the Had
feels the inferiority and enjoys the dis
confiture Of the man who asks for the
book as "Homer's Eyeiid."
The student of mnemonics. the art Of
memory, can find food for study in these
mistakes In most cases the title has
been clear In the memory ut one time,
but has become obfuscated through some
cause or other. In instances like when
The House Boat on the Styx" was

Have and TO Hold" seem to be instances
Of misapplied mnemOnic systems.

THREE STRAIGHT.

Senator Hills straightforward enlist
ment for active Democratic service in
the campaign now opening, pledging his
best effort for the election OF the Demo-
cratic national ticket, adds greatly to
the promise of Democratic success and
should mean the carrying of New York
for NJ. Bryan
The nomination of Nj. Stevenson for
wee President on the ticket with Mr..
Bryan comes as near insuring Demo
cratic victory In Illinois as was possible
to any action that could have been taken
by the Kansas City convention. When
Mr. Stevenson ran on the ticket with
BIT. Cleveland in 1892 he carried his
State by 10000 majority. The existing
Republican split in Illinois. due to the
Tanner-Cullom feud intensified by adj
minlstration Interference IN behalf Of
Culion. creates a Democratic opportuni-
ty which Mr.. Stevenson and his party
VIII improve TO the utmost.
Indiana, where a Republican defec-
ton caused by condemnation of the adj
miuistraton pressure for the passage Of
the Infamous Porto Rican tariff bin is
headed by ex-President Harrison, Is also
fine fighting ground for the national
democracy. That State is splendidly
solid and compact in its Democratic Or
ganization, and an effective enthusiasm
prevails. Earnest ard aggressive work
from now until November will carry In
diana for the Democratic party, and this
earnest and aggressive work is promised
by Indiana Democrats.
The outlook for Democracy in New
York, In Illinois and in Indiana is bright
Indeed. Imperialism, the paramount
issue Of the campaign, has aroused the
American spirit in these three great
States to the point of effective protest
against the imperial plotters. 1t will be
difficult for the Hanna machine of En-
pire to make Roadway against this
American sentiment. The Republican
party's denial of the truth of the Decla-
ration OF Independence, its violation Of

DEMOCRACY,S MISSION

AS tie oldest and most truly represent
alive American party, i. is appropriate
that the national Democracy should en-
list in its support in the present CAM
paisn all Americans who condemn the
Republican party's unamerican policy Of
Imperialism, and who recognize the fact
that the very existence of the Republic
is imperiled.
The Democratic party is splendidly ac-
credited 10 the American people for lead
ersnip in the great mission of saving the
Republic from being betrayed to Empire
in behalf of Il oney-aristocracy, whose
AmericaIism has died out from souls
surrendered to the lust OF wealth.
Democracy's commission was written
and signed when the Declaration of In
dependence was written and signed. Its
founder was the author of that immortal
utlerance. The spirit Of Thomas Jeffer-
son animated the American Democracy
Of 1916. 1t has never departed from the
organization since that epochal year.
Simplicity, honesty, closeness TO the
American people, an ingrained kinship
TO the only true Americanism, a blood
fealty 10 the true American policies, this
is Democracy as Democracy still lives in
the worlds greatest Republic. It's creed
is found in the Declaration of Independ-
ence, in the American Constitution, in
the Monroe Doctrine, the three great
American announcements which the Re-
publican party has within the past year
definitely and distinctly violated, repudi-
ated and abandoned. 1t Is now deputed
to the Democratic party. as the party of
Americanism, to restore those utterances
to their original place of authority. and
in doing SO TO save from destruction the
Republic, whose very life depends upon
our faithfulness to the principles de-
clared In those three supremacy Ameri-
can productions.
The Democratic party proudly calls
upon every American for the full per-
formance Of his duty as an American In
the present crisis. 1t issues this cali by
virtue of its authority as the party Of
the Declaration Of Independence, and
with the right born of answering
loyalty TO that creed for 124 years past.
Ii does not for one moment doubt the
nature of the American response to this
call. The Republic is In danger. The
duty Of Americans is too plain to be
ignored.
