Do Something.

Y Is 4 CURIOUS but interesting
fact that for several years past
IL citizens and associations in Lu-
Hcrnc county desiring legislati ton
at Harrisburg have been unable 10 Sc
cure it through the Luzerne represen-
tativcs and have in many instances
sought help from Lackawanna. In
worthy instances this help has been
willingly bestowed and this Willingness
should and will continue. But it is
time the Republican leaders of the
mother county realized that Luzerne
is big enough to paddle her own canoe.
If instead of nagging at everybody
who gets head up in politics. the Re-
puhlcans of old Luzerne would choose
leader. give him loyal support ana
pull together for county and section,
it would not be necessary to go beg
ging for favors at the state capital
they could make and enforce their own
terms. Their county is an empire in
wealth, resources and population and
its proper place is not at tho tail end
but at the head of the procession. In
stead of being poWerlesS both 10 ef-
feet reforms within the party and by
kicking over the traces, LuZerne might
be furnishing governors again. and
Supreme court Judges and men in the
other nigh places of government.
Eut this can only be accomplished by
constructive effort. Sitting on the
fence and making faces at those who
raSs by never did and Iu.vcr will ac-
compliSh more than momentary an
royancc 1t is not a sign of either
goodness or greatness. The mon peo-
rle respect are men who take hold and
10 things. There are men of this kind
plenty of them--in LuZernc county
but hitherto they have neglected poll
tics. 1t is time for them to get in the
game and put their county politically
where it belongs.

Vacation Schools and Play.

r T WOULD no a very unwsc thing
| to give up the calling of public
II attention To the lack of vacation
schools and summer Fairgrounds
in Scranton for the classes of children
who cannot leave the city in summer
and who llave no play place but the
streets. It is we'll to bring often the
concrete picture of what these do for
children elsewhere. OF one opened last
Saturday for tho summer Wo read:
The casual passerhy. looking into the
dusty. uninviting plot. unchecrcd by a
single blade of grass. would probably
wonder why permission to enter
should be SO joyous an event as the
eager. beaming faces proved it to be,
but the fact that even so llnattraCtive
a place is so valued is the strongest
proof of its necessity. Without it the
children would have no playground but
the street. with its dangers and few
amuselncnts.
I'm less than minute after tho gate
swung open every swing and Sccsaw
was occupied. boys were swarminS
over the parallel bars. and sand beds
were being converted into forts ard
mountains.
:" One of the great advantages of the
Playground said the chairman. lis its
constant inculcation of justice and un-
seltiShncss. Last summer the improve
ment was most marked. Boys who at
the beginning were a constant trouble
because of their selfish wish to keen
possession Of things they enjoyed, at
its close We're self-ConSttuted gllardl-
ans of the rights of others. The girls
give less trouble at any time, and tho
larger girls are real little matrons in
their helpfulncss.'
That is one of many similar scenes
in New York; Philadelphia, Chicago
and some smaller cities duplicate them.
This year Philadelphia adds to the op-
pOrtuntos a school out of doors" in
the park on certain days in hot
weather. The suggestion came from
Or. Edward Brooks, that city's wise
and liberal superintendent of schools.
and the season Of public school in
Fairmount park opened last week, the
first district in the city to act upon
the permission being Little Italy, the
children bringing their own ten cents
for car fare. In anloS, every instance
they have earned their dimes, and have
been saving them up for this delight

That is worth ncditating on.

A Celebrated Case,

John Barker fer the at.

"HE TRIAL at Jersey city of
John Barker fer the at
l. tempted assassination of
Rev. DR.. Keller combines
all the elements of dramatic interest
which can enter into a court case and
will undoubtedly be followed by news
paper readers with notable cagerness.
So far as made public, the facts are
these: Barker, man previously of
good reputation, claims he was told by
his wife, a nervous woman who had
not been in good health, that eighteen
months prior, Rev. DIR. Keller, a re-
spected and popular clergyman of Ar
linGton, \. j., had committed crimi-
nal assault upon her. She had, it ia
alleged, feared to make an earlier
avowal of the fact and her confession
finally came in consequence of words
spoken in delirium. Thereupon Barker,
without further inquiry. took a pistol
approached Rev, DR.. Keller, and shot
him in the face, binding one eye and
nearly causing the clcrgyman's death
As can readily he understood, public
opnioEin Arlington is sharply divided
on thc.subject of the clergyman's in
nocenca ar guilt. All kinds Of conIoc-
lures have found their way into print
the most common one being that Mrs.
Barker made her accusation in good
faith hnt under the spell of halluci-
nation arising from i'll health. Whether

DANISH THE SLOT MACHINE.

The city Council did well when ut
It's last meeting 1t passed an order III
recting the Corporation Counsel to pre-
pare an ordinance requiring n license
fee, probably of S. per annum, for each
cigar slot machine operated within the
city limits.
1t would have done better, however,
had it passed an order prohibiting the
Use or operation of slot machines alto
gether and ordering the police depart
ment to coniscate these Instruments
whenever found ana prosecute the
owners
Every such device is an instrument
of gambling, the only question involved
being one of degree.
The worst feature about the cigar
slot machine Is that it is most largely
patronized by the youth of our city,
who drop in their pennies In the hope
that turn of the cards will win for
them cigars to the amount of five, ten
or twenty times the value of the coins
they have deposited. This is most
insidious method of teaching young
boys how to gamble. 1t shows them
the use Of cards and their value In
games of chance, and 1t excites gradu'
