of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bailey is sup
piled with an apparatus that greatly
facilitated the work, and the hundreds
OF subjects were expeditiously disposed
of. The employees were arranged In
rows, and half dozen of them be-
came nervous and apprehensive and
they gave way to the strain.
The vaccination was done in ac-
cordanCe with the wishes of DR.. John
S. Niles president of the CarhOndale
board of health, who notified General
Manager Frieder on Tuesday of the ad-
visibility of such a measure, because
of the fact that a majority OF the mill
hands are residents of Simpson. where
the Tooln and Doud cases of small
poX are located. Mr.. Frieder immed-
ately issued an order to the employees
to he vacCinated and made provision
for the work to he done by Or. Bailey
at the expense of the Klots company.
Mr.. Frieder made the order compul-
sorry, under penalty Of discharge If any
employe in the mill, whether recently
vaccinated or not would not comply.
Those employees who We're not vac
Cinated will receive the vaccine today.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Frieder to
issue an order that will include the
employees of the Scranton mill of the
Klots company. This is taken as a
precautionary measure.

PRESENTATION TO
CITY CLERK MOON
Select Councilmen and Mayor Kill
patrick Present Him with a
Handsome Meerschaum Pine.

when Mayor j. w. Fitzpatrick. Select
COuncilmen Thomas Barrett, Thomas
Battle, John d, Davis, John f. Man

Thompson, presented City Clerk w. l..
Moon with a handsome meerschaum
pipe.
Mr.. Moon and his wife leave on Fri
day next for six weeks or two
months stay in England, Mr.. Moons
native home.
Mr.. Manniun called upon Chairman
Fletcher TO announce the purpose of
the meeting. The doctor admitted that
he had not given the clerk notice of
the meeting. but insomuch as he, the
doCtor), was going away shortly and
would probably not return before Mr.,
Moons departure for England, he
deemed it wise To hold meeting. The
meeting, he said, was called in order
10 allow the councilmen to express
their regret at the clerks departure,
and To express their appreciation of
his services i'm the past. Too often in
political life the people are prone to
show up only the bad traits in public
officials. The doctor also scored the
newspaper utterances, what he termed
unjust criticisms, and mentioned Spe
citically the story that several mem
hers had received 50 000 to vote against
a certain measure. When every mem
her voted yea, he said, he looked in
vain for the paper 70 use some words
of commentator for the councilmen
who had the principle to reject such
an entiCing amount.
Mr.. Fletcher then presented the clerk
with the pipe and said that he hoped
when Mr.. Moon reaches England II
| may remind him that he has friends
here at home. and that it may serve
as an inducement to bring him home.
Mr.. Moon then expressed his thanks
| In few words, lie assured the donors
that when he reaches the other side OF
the water his thoughts will many times
revert to his friends here in Carbon
dale.

A New Argument About Longevity

..wbat,s in name?" One democratic writer
thinks the destiny of a political party is wrapped
nm in if. he cites in argument the fact that po-
Iitical party from the organization OF the nation
down to the present time has had but one name'
that of democratic He concludes, therefore,
that the name gives the party vitality
which should command the respect OF all thinking
men," But why? Again, he argues that the
Federal party went to pieces and then the wing
party. To be consistent we presume ne ascrloeS
their dissolution to the fact that they ala noI oe"i

sons that the republican party must sooner

case of etymology. The idea is so brilliant Iua'
we must get some smoked glass before we eau
see through it. He goes on to assert that the lasS
three parties named held certain principles which
are part of our government to day, thus ackno"l-
edging that republican principles have been IN our
government from the beginning, and II THIS be
true, why have they not been enduring as demo-
cratic principles and wherein is their vitality less
than that vitality the name democratic gives!
Why lay so much stress on a name and so little on
principles? Still further, the writer in question
fails to explain why the vitality OF the democratic
party has been at such low ebb SO often and why
it has so little now The name still fingers with It,
or is affected at least The ''vitality.of-a name"
argument certainly fails TO win the verdict in this
instance Then pray tell us why it should com
mand the respect of all thinking men, However.
there may be something in a name, but the vitality
idea is so novel that it needs longer and more
careful study than have at present to thoroughly
comprehend it.
