To Wage EarnerS
and Others of
Moderate Income

Do not spend your money foolishly
| because you have SO little of 1t. but
| save what you can from month to
month and invest 1t in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
| lionaires of this section we're laboring
men a generation ago and they pur-
| sued this course while most of their
| comrades blew IL all in. The pru-
| dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing. that the world had to have
| II, and they bought coal land, a little
| at time as they could spare It. and
| IL has made them rich. and their fami-
| lies live and will live in the greatest
| comfort, while the descendants of
their imprudent comrades are labor
| ing as their fathers did-for day
| wages.
Keep this object lesson in mind.
| The opportunities of that earlier time
were in coal, today greater opportuni-
ties exist in oil, which Is fuel in
| more concrete form and Is rapidly
| supplanting coal because II Ia easier
and cheaper TO mine and handle. and
| Is. besides being more economic
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel. for the lack OF
which her progress has been woefully
| retarded. The entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as a fuel. so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
| fornia is unlimited. California oil
refiners will hold the markets OF the
| far East and OF the west coast Of
| South America. It is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
| be the source of incalculable wealth,
| far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been in the past.
All thoughtful men can see that the
thing to do now to make money is
to buy the shares of conservative, re-
putably managed oil companies hav-
| ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured at low prices, and only
requiring development to become the
source Of enormous revenues for
| shareholders.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
OIL COMPANY has in the most i'm
| portant oil fields managers OF ability
and integrity and Of the highest prac-
tical qualifications for their business,
and the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 4oc. but are selling for
|
procure money to bore the first wells.
The price is sure to advance RAPIDLY
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad-
Joining lands. The market value Of
the lands is constantly advancing. Do
| not delay making an investment in
| this stock. AS to the value of this
| oil property and the character and
ability of it's managers this company
refers, by permission. to the presi-
dent of the Broadway Bank and
Trust company. Of Los Angeles, Cal.

Colonel S. II. Dixon, of Detroit. on
the staff of Commodore Commander
Frederick Il. Haskins, of the National
Association of Naval Veterans, was in
Cleveland Thursday last to arrange
for headquarters for the Ladies' Aux

Ill of late. but is recovering and will
attend the encampment. Another

Burns, of Jacksonville. Fla, in be-
half of the Grand Army departments
of Florida, Georgia and South Caro-

THE RIGHTS OF WITNESSES.
From the Rochester Post Express.

From the Rochester Post Express.
The unscmpuous lawyer, and even the lawyer
not wholly lost to decency, acts constantly upon
the unfounded assumption that witnesses have no
rights that he is bound to respect. Not only
does he browbeat his victims, but he tries in
every possible way to discredit them in the eyes
Of the jury. Not untrequently he succeeds in
clciting unfayorsble information that has no
bearing whatever upon the case, and, in conse-
quencc, secures a verdict for his client. Every
case OF this kind is miscarriage Of justice and
tends to the impairment Of the respect in which
the courts should he held. For the administrs.
tion of justice has to do with the proper deci.
sion Of the question in controversy Only such
facts as are relevant should ever he admitted.

make still better showing in behalf of
the Lackawanna delegation. Before the
governor applied his carving knife,
Lackawanna had succeeded in securing
legislative approval of requests for
| state aid to the smount OF s2l3225 as
against so7, 900 for Luzerne.
The fall of the executive knife upon
the allowance for Taylor hospital is
sincerely regretted and was in pursu-
ance of the rule, which was applied i'm
partially, that no funds should go to
institutions not yet in operation. But
the fact that the legislature approved
this allowance and the governor vetoed
1t reluctantly makes II necessary that
the representative of the Taylor dis
trict should have another chance to put
this worthy charity on it's feet. one
reverse should not mean failure. but
rather a stimulus to redouhed effort.
Although the appropriation for Lack
awanna hospital suffered a shrinkage
of 900 on final consideration, the i'm
portance of its converting that hospital
into state institution should not be
lost sight of. The amount granted.
$70,000 IL not affiuent, is, with careful
economy, sufficient; and since hereafter
the state will pay the expenses of this
hospitals maintenance, the 100000 or
thereabouts formerly contributed an
nually by our benevolent citizens to
keep 1t going will henceforth be liber-
ated for other worthy purposes.
Altogether, the people of our county
have good reason to be satisfied with
the work of their representatives and
senator during the legislative session
of 1901.

IN HE COLLAPSE of the fire
mems strike and the deci-
II sion of the striking machn-
lists of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western and Lackawanna
Iron ana Steel company to return to
work tend to clear the local Industrial
atmosphere. These strikes were hope
less from the beginning and a resump-
tion of former terms is distinctly pre-
ferable, from the standpoint of both
the strikers themselves and the well
fare Of the community, to a continual
ton Of the costly losses to no prac-
tical purpose.
the men, it is feared, entered upon
this contest trusting too much to the
empty promises and oversangune rep
resentatlons Of their leaders. Striking
had recently become fashionable.
Prosperity was abroad and the notion
became Widespread that the best way
for labor to get its share of it was to
make civil war upon its employers.
Experience does not teach that this
is true. in some cases strikes end in
''N'''' = i'' 'li' ''l lhtlS' bul very rare
ly are the gains sufficient to overbal-
ance the losses. Steadness and efic-
ienCy of work, combined with personal
thrift, arc much better methods of
gaining an advanced position than
strife and idleneSs, no matter how
irksome the grievances, real and al
le~ed.
That most of these men should be
hetter raid is a WIDESPREAD belief.
Certainly 1t is to the advantage of
the community and in the long run to
the advantage of their employers tha,
they should be well paid and con-
tented. In time, if good times con.
tnue this problem will work itself
out along peaceful lines. The attempt
to heat out solution with the strike
clun was unwise. The real friends OF
the workingman are not those who
playable dems sogue to please his pass.
Ing fancies, but those who have the
courage 10 point out his mistakes and
counsel him against being deceived
and = misled.
Lst us hope this is the beginning OF

Patrolman Thompson's fate is a
warning that it sometimes pays not to
he over-solicitous. The recorder at
first did not know anything about the
patrolman. But after fifteen of the
latters friends, by day and by night,
at the recorders Office, on the street
and at his home, had sounded Thomp-
sons praises in the superlative key
without occasion, the suspicion was
engendered that they protested too
much. This appears to have since de-
veloped into d conviction.

number than those OF Luzerne, have
made II a rule to go for what their

"Fcmnlen nncheIors MultirlvIng.

To read day by day of the number of
female bachelors that are BEING turned
out by the colleges is something quite
startling.
We shall see some astonishing figures
when the next census is published in tull.
Already one doctor in every twenty-five
is a woman, and one twenty-cighth OF all
the preachers are women. One-eghth Of
the college professors chairs are now
filled by women, while one journalist OFT
of ever twenty is a woman. In tclegrl.
ply and clerking women show signs OF
yet taking the whole field.

The problem of industrial independ-
ence is gradually being solved through
the new order of society which puts wo-
man so largely at the helm of the world S
affairs. This, however, is not the only
problem to be solved. When the world
becomes full of women doctors and law
yers and professors, somebody mIst pro

ultimately find themselves loaded with

The world does not demand that you
become a great lawyer, a great physi-
clan, or a great merchant; but it does
require that you shall so carry yourself
through life as to uplift and not blight
your felow-men; so as to help and not
hinder, so as to elevate and not degrade
them. 1t does ask that you shall not
gain riches by impoverishing those who
help you to become wealthy, that your
dollars shall be clean and not smirched
with the guilt of trying to get ahead Of
your competitor by sharp practice; it
demands that your wealth shall not be
stained with the blood OF widows and
orphans, that you shall not lift yourself
up by tearing others down.

feet as YOU" the dray horse said to the
racing horse, "is this long hair on my
ietlocks. 1t impedes my motions. II I
could have it cut off would run against
you best three in FIVE"
"All right" replied the racer, 81 will
remove that long hair for you, and we
will have 60"
SO he gnawed the dray horses fet-
locks free from the long hair and the
two ran a race, with the result that the
dray horse was ignominiously beaten.
But the racer jeered and laughed at
him so scornfuly that the dray horse
kicked him to death.
