Utica engineer that the
Erie canal be abandoned
as a waterway and converted into an
electric freight railroad. In speech
before the Utica board of trade, deliv-
cred last Monday night, Hon. Herbert
p. Rissell of Buffalo presented the
other side of this question in manner
of more than passing interest.
In the first place, he showed that

the terminals of the canal, and the
resulting benefits to every part of the
state, including the payment of $780,
900, ,00o Of freights TO those engaged in
the canal traffic. But il is in the an
ticipatory phases of Mr. Bissell's re-
marks that the people of Scranton and
of Pennsylvania are chiefly interested.

HN NO DIRECTION has factional
mendacity gone further than in
Il charging the administration OF
Governor Stone with completely
in oleomargarine frauds and with in
difference to the protection of the dairy
interests against dishonest competition.
The purpose of these trumped up accu-
sations, which have been spread broad
cast through subsidized news channels
in rural communities, was to infiame
the country districts into electing anti
Quay members Of the Legislature; but
the course of legislation at Harrisburg
this session will be likely to take a
good deal of the wind out of this pal
pable conspiracy of defamation.
There has been introduced by Sena-
tor Snyder bill which Is calculated to
strengthen every weak point In the
present state laws on the subject OF
oleomargarine and it is to be support
ed by every legitimate influence Of the
administration. 1t imposes a fine of
$500 and sixty days imprisonment
and permits a permanent injunction
against the defendant in any case
while an appeal is pending to the high
er courts, thus preventing delay and
making 1t undesirable for oleo violators
to resort to obstructive litigation. 1t
requires wholesalers and retailers to
keep open books, accessible by the de-
partment of agriculture at all times,
showing all purchases and sales of
oeo. 1t also provides that certificates
of the department of agriculture shall
be sufficient to prove that the Defend
ant has or has not a license, and for
the transfer of license from one indi-
vidual to another but restricts the IL
| cense to a single place of business.
Provision is made for the punishment
of clerks. agents and employees who in
| any way aid and assist in the viola
ton Of this law, thus preventing vio-
| lators from concealing themselves be-
hind figureheads, whom the law here
| tofore has not been able to reach.
In short, the endeavor is to be made
to construct a machinery of law which
will be ample to punish every vender
of bogus butter against whom there is
| sufficient information to justify the
setting of it in motion. If instead of
wasting time and money in the vain
effort to defame and discredit the law

ly concerned over oleo frauds would
devote their resources toward helping
to procure honest evidence, the gain tc

TALKS BY THE PUBLISHER
Advertising.

Two THINGS sustain newspapcr-cireula-
tion and advertising. In communities like
our own the receipts from the former are in
sufficient to pay running expenses. We know OF
no daily paper in the United States which sus-
tains itself from circulation alone. without ad-
vcrtising, papers at penny or two cents copy,
within reach of the poorest citizen, would be
impossible.
Advertising is Of two kinds, paid and free.
Much OF the news is advertising, but it is in.
serted at the cost OF the publisher because its
value or interest to the community is greater
than It's advertising value. Advertising which is
charged for should have public interest, other
wise it would he out of place in general news
paper; but working rule in vogue in most
newspaper offices, and fair TO all concerned, is
that the subject matter should be liable to a
charge when the benefit to the man who offers
it for publication exceeds the benefit to be con.
ferred upon the public at large.
Under this rule cards Of thanks, resolutions of
coincidence, obituary poetry or memorial tributes,
notices Of fairs, suppers or entertainments at
which an admission fee is collected and mass
Of similar literature primarily OF benefit or in.
tcrcst to the contributor and only secondarily
interesting to the public are fit subjects for an
advertising charge and except in relation to
entertainments wholly for a religious or charit'
able purpose The Tribune charges for them.
Nearly every day it receives long resolutions Of
coincidence having no primary public interest
often matters of fonnalty, like many floral Of
ferings on similar occasions--and these it can

>" HE BEST friends OF the en-
ployes of the Scranton Rail-
Il way company are those who
are counseling them not to
try to enforce by strike the demand
that that company shall hereafter re-
fuse to employ any man not member
in good standing of the local union.
This demand, as will presently be
shown, goes further than the best in
terests of the employees require and
further than public sympathy would be
likely to extend its powerful support
in the event of a second tying up of
street car travel of this city and val
Icy. So long as the men carry the
substantial points in their campaign
for better wages and more favorable
conditions of employment, the attempt
to say that none but the members OF
the local union shall receive employ
ment from the company is unneces-
sary. No man of intelligence working
or hereafter to work for the company
who is not a member of the union will
be likely to resist the strong argument
to identify himself with the instrument
which has brought about the improved
conditions of his employment. 1t is
enough that the wages are raised, that
the hours of work are adjusted fairly
and that the company pledges itself
not to discriminate against any EN-
ploye for being member of the union
and not to attempt the unions disrup-
tion.
A contract engaging the company
not to employ anybody not member
of the union would not stand in a
court of law. because the highest courts
have repeatedly affirmed that any man
may work for whom he pleases and
that any man or company may en-
ploy whom he or it pleases, so long
as the terms are mutually satisfac-
tory. The community has had strikes
enough. What it now wants is peace
