Rev. II :. niek. 1908 Almanac l,,l,lI,

To say that this splendid work. of
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all previ-
GUS years. To say that such results,
reaching through thirty years, are
not based upon sound sense and USE
fulness, is an insult to the intelligence
of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through
this great Almanac, and his famous
family aud scientific journal, Word
and Works, is doing work for the
whole people not approached by any
other man or publication A fair
test will prove this to any reasonable
person. Added to the most luminous
course in astronomy for 1908, fore
casts of storms and weather are given,
as never before, for every day in the
year, all charmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engrav-

Election Law May Be Revised.

The statute revision commits sion will
submit to the next Legislature a re-
vised election law, to supercede both
the primary and the general election
laws. The commissioners have been
unable to agree whether a declaration
of the voters party utilization should
be required at the primary election,
and will submit two propositions on
the subject, leaving the legislature to
take it's choice.
The present primary law requires
the voter to call for the ballot of the
party with which he affiliated at the
last general election. There has been
considerable objection to this on the
ground that great many voters re-
NAMED away from the primaries, when
it was necessary for them to declare
their party affiliations. It has also
been argued that the provision of the
law fails to accomplish it's purpose,
and that the members of one party
now participate in the nomination Of
candidates of an opposing party, just
as much as if both the republican and
democratic lists of candidates for
nominations were printed on one
ballot.
The statute revision commission will
submit a provision along the line of
the present law, in which the party
lures will be drawn so strictly that it
is believed that this will be obviated.
But the commission will also submit
an alternative section following the
plan of the original primary law, and
having the candidates of the various
parties for nomination on one ballot
Under this system, the voter is not re-
quired to make public his political
affiliations, and must simply confine
himself to making nominations for
one political party. It is also prob
able that a provision will be included
prohibiting a voter participating in
the primary election OF any party from
signing petition for the nomination
of an independent candidate.
The plan of having the candidate
of all parties on the ballot was tried
in the original law, which applied to
Minneapolis alone, but was discarded
because it was found that the members
of one party dictated the nominations

What Makes for Poaoe7

Whlcn Is likely to be the better pro-
moter OF peace - the 'sstrong man
armed" who goes about with pistols |
In his pockets and q big knife in his
belt procla1ming that he wants peace
so much that he will kill anybody who
interferes with him, or the man who
diligently minds his own business and
trusts to law and justice to protect
him and his rights?
President Roosevelt, in bis speech
at the Chamber of Commerce banquet,
expressed his belief that ''the trend of
the modern spirit is ever stronger
toward peace, not war; toward friend
ship, not hostility, as the normal in
ternational attitude But he added,
quite in the vein of his strenuous
brother William of Germany, that
'"The voice of the weakling or the
craven counts for nothing when he
clamors for peace, but the voice of
the just armed man is potent. We
need to keep in condition Of prepar-
edness, especially as regards our
navy, not because we want war, but
because we desire to stand with those
whose plea for peace Is listened to
with respectful attention"
. It is precisely this theory put in
practice which keeps Europe an
armed camp, eating out the substance
of the people to build great navies
and to maintain large standing ar
mics.
The Presidents doctrine is refuted
by history. At the time of the Vene-
zuela incident our navy would not
have stood before that of England for
an hour and we had no standing army
worth considering.
Yet was not our plea for arbitra-
ton, though it took most unjustid ably
the form of threat to England, els
tened to with respectful attention.?
Was it our preparedness for war"
which led us to ask and England to
accept arbitration of the Alabama

The RumsolieS's Joke,

The pralseworthy temperance edi-
torials in the Hearst papers continue
in week day and Sunday issues alike
The Chicago American recently printed
one entitled "The Whisky Joke on the
Barroom Mirror" 1t notes a barroom
on the mirror of which was inscribed,
IF whisky interferes with your busi-
ness, give up your business" The
American describes two sad whisky
tragedies in the current news and then
says:
mo names are printed here; no
names are needed. You read such
pieces Of news, quickly told in COM
monplace language, every day. If you
read attentively the grawsome tale of
ife's tragedies and failures. the sui
cides and murders, you will usually
find the partly empty whisky bottle
sticking out somewhere in the nara
tive. In almost every case you find
that the unfortunate one has taken the
witty saloon owners advice, If whis-
KY interferes with your business, give
up your business
1--WE do not wish to preach or NOR
alize unduly.
"Men and women have drunk
through all ages. They drink less now
than ever, fortunately. Some of them
will doubtless continue to drink as
long as hard work, keen competition,
unwise living, disappointed hopes and
constant temptation to escape life's
realities shall continue to make whis-
ky apparently friend.
"The young man who killed himself
near the half empty bottle, the sad,
abandoned woman who died of hunger
in her loneliness and with whisky near
her, had probably strong excuses for
their weakness and failure.
"But let their sad ending be none the
less lesson to you, young men.
"Bear in mind that motto on the bar
room mirror and say to yourself:
shall have no whisky jokes in my ca
reer. I'll give up whisky and never
give it a chance to make me give up
my business.
Remember that safety as we'll as

good example demands that you let
the stuff alone.

In your life work it will not be because
you exchanged all your prospects for a
fuddled feeling in the head, an abnor-
NAL quickening of the pulse, some

Chickens will sooner or later come

power of Gov. Lind. Well, Lind was

governor always peters out before get

to form q combination strong enough

also shot at Montrose, before going to

showing his team has been making
in practice, and is confident the Thir-

time arrives for the distribution of
prizes. Every man on the team this
year is an able, experienced shot, and
at least two of the men ought to make
the state team.

Fred s. Godfrey yesterday completed
negotiations with the executors Of the
John Jermyn estate for five year ex-
tension to his lease on Hotel Jermyn.
There was some talk a few months
ago that there had been a Disagree
ment as to the rental terms and that
at the end of his present lease, next
April, Mr.. Godfrey would give up the
hotel business in this city and go to
New York. This, however, was simply
talk. Mr.. Godfrey and Joseph j. and
George b. Jermyn met, yesterday. by
appointment and after a ten minutes
conversation, consummated the deal by
which Mr.. Godfrey continues as pro-
prietor of the hotel and reached an
agreement by which the owner Is to
spend $25,0O0 in improving the property
and the lessee Is to put in goodly sum
in refurnishing it,
The hotel has been conducted under
Mr.. Godfrey's management since it was
opened six years ago. In that time 1t
has come to be known as one of the
very best hostelries in the country. In
deed many of the drummers declare 1t
to be the very best hotel in the United
States. in the way of giving a guest
his moneys worth. There is scarcely
any question but that it Is the best
for the money anywhere.
The reputation the hotel has attained
Is indicated by an instance related by
George b. Jermyn. He was travelling
in Switzerland a year ago and one
night put up at a small and uninviting
Alpine inn. At the far end of the
table at which he was one Of a large
number of diners, sat man and his
wife. During the course of the meal
the man was seen to look disparaging-
ly at the food and heard to say: "Wish
we had Hotel Jermyn here" Mr..
Jermyn, of course was much interested
and at the conclusion of the meal
sought out the man and asked him
what Hotel Jermyn he had made re-
ference to at the dinner. The reply was
"Oh hotel over in America, at place
called Scranton, where my wife and
stopped for a few days on our way
here from ST. Paul. Its the greatest
hotel we ever encountered"
MIR. Jermyn introduced himself by
saying my father owns that place."
The man from st. Paul excused him
self to his wife and accompanied Mr.
Jermyn to the dairy or some other
place to toast Hotel Jermyn.
1t Is not saying too much to make
the assertion that the Hotel Jermyn.
under Mr.. Godfrey's capable manage
ment, has done as much as any other
of Scranton's institutions in making the
town celebrated. Before it's existence,
it was no uncommon thing for travel
ing men who had to stay in these parts
for a considerable length of time to go
to the wyoming Valley hotel in Wilkes
Barre to make their headquarters.
Just what improvements are to be
made on the hotel property have not
been divulged further than that the
machinery in the basement and the
floor of the lobby are to be replaced.
