y
fered for Republican support
Of the entire Republican tic
ket in this state and county
this fall is the fact that the Demo-
cratic papers and spell-binders are en-
couraging the Democratic voters with
the hope that if they can elect some
of their candidates this year it will
help them to make larger gains next
time.
The Scranton Times uses this incen-
tive in discussing the county commits
sioners' office. 1t points out that Re-
publican control of this office has been
powerful factor in building up Re-
publican victory in Lackawanna coun-
ty, and it has. That. however, is a
good reason why Republicans should
desire Republican control of the office
to continue. There is evidently moth
ing in the argument of the Times that
the books should be opened. If the
books were not as they should be the
present Democratic county commission
er Mr.. Durkn, would not have been
honored by his party associates with
du ullOpDOSeu TeHOlllIdllOn. fDr II
there were anything the matter with
the books or records it would have been
Mr.. Durkin's place and duty long ago
to have made the fact public. His
silence is proof presumptive that
everything is all right in the commits
sioners' office and his endorsement by
the Scranton Times for another term
on a platform of 'open the books is
either Il slap at him because he hasn't
done his duty or Il confession that Edi-
tor Lynett is merely talking for effect.
What is true as to the Importance
from a Republican standpoint of sup
porting the Republican candidates for
commissioner is equally true as to
very other nominee on the Republican
ticket. Each is a part of the party
battle line and every Democrat elected
over the head of a good Republican is
just so much additional opposition to
be overcome afterWarG. Everybody of
Intelligence knows that the election
this fall is simply preliminary to the
big presidential struggle two years
hence. Each party is getting its lines
into column formation for that decisive
fight. The Democrats will seize every
gain now as an encouragement to in
creased eXertion then. Give them an
inch and they will try to take an ell. 1t
doesn't pay to give the inch. The thing
to do is kindly but firmly to put every
mothers son of them out of political
business. at least until their party be-
comes worthy of public confidence and
trust.

Newspaper mathematicians are busy
figuring the money loss of the coal
strike. That was big, but in compari-
son with the loss in respect for law
and order and in healthy, old fashioned
Americanism. it was small. The money
loss can be recovered in few months
of prosperity: but the recovery of the
other loss within the life-time of the
present generation is less certain.

The lesson of the Harrisburg deci-
sions is that the Democracy Of Lacka-
wanna. If it is to deserve place on
the official ballot must organize under
responsible leadership, proceed in its
party deliberations in accordance with
law and not permit itself to be made
the plaything of Il few ambitious men
who think that brute force can take the
place of brains. If there is any merit
in the party it will be all the better
for Il little discipline.

A SONG FOR THE EDITOR OF THE
SCRANTON TIMES.

How dear to my heart is the infamous
ripper
When fond recollection presents it to
view.
Ts then that I hasten to take a big nip
And oil my throat we'll for frantic
ado.
For the ripper to me is the DEVILS own
offspring
The total and sum of political sin.
Whereby l am able to make a loud bluff
ring
In aid of my hope to get Democrats in.
The ripper, tis true, gives our city fash.
ion
OF government better than ever before,
With taxes reduced and economy's pas
sion
Enforced on all sides every day more
and more.
improvements galore daily show how it
works to
Promote every interest except these
cry,
But Democrats clearly would only be
Turks to
Refrain from denouncing the other
sides Try.
I'll admit that for order our city has
never
Been better administered than it is now
But that Is no reason why l should be
clever
Enough to be fair and not kick up IL
row.
o, the ripper, the ripper the Infamous
ripper
I'm after your scalp cause I've no
other plan
Which seems half so cunning and surely
none nipper
To humbug the voters and get in my
man.

1t will probably take years to decide
which side won most in the coal strike
settlement, therefore there is not much
use in worrying about 1t now. The
present duty is to get back to work and
get the strike bitterness out of the COM
munity as quickly and as effectually as
possible. To accomplish this, all hands
must give a lift.

WAYsIDE NOTES.


The Century Magazine for October has
rather interesting account of the Gar

excitement some Twenty-Five years ago.
The article is written by Hon. Andrew

man from the west. but he was really a
resident of Binghamton, N. Y, where he
carried on cigar manufacturing bust
ness. He had the "giant" made in the
west and shipped to the farm of his
Drother-in-law, Newell. at Cardiff N. V,
where Mr.. Newell discovered" 1t while

some business dealings with him HUI
was something of giant himself-over

very sober and digniiied, as much 80 as.

hardly be suspected as the originator of
such a stupendous fake. lie had previous

Probably the territory within n radius OF
iifteen miles of Scranton has more ANA

hereabouts during the past season that

Pioneer Broom Corn Association.

The dear experience NoIubee farmers
have had in the last two OF three years
in devoting so much attention to the
raising of cotton, has set them to think
ing how to manage hereafter on more
successful plan, and be sure Of obtain.
ing a sufficient supply Of food products.
This is very commendable and consider
ing the present bad farming conditions,
it is absolutely necessary, that some
thing should be done with this purpose
in view. Still all these good intentions
and plans may be frustrated by unpro
pitieus seasons, and the country be left
to struggle with a hard fate. This has
really been the case the last two years.
There are undoubtedly, exceptions, but
as a rule no fault could be fCHnl with
the farming labor during the last two
years The field hands kept the plows
going even when they had little or no
hope of making a crop, and the great
storm In August, which destroyed the
corn crop, was a calamity which we
may baye to experience again. Man
proposes but God disposes. 1t is man s
duty, however, to strive to better his
condition, and we must take hold with
the courage and the hope that a full re
ward will bless our efforts,
But this is a depression. We started
out to tell our readers about the organi'
cation Of the Broom Corn Association,
Encouraged by the high price of the
straw in the markets a number Of prom.
inent farmers met last Monday in the
store of the Stokes Evans Hardware Co,
organized an association and determined
to put a part of their lands in broom
corn. All Of them haye strong land,
which will make the best quality of
straw. The president, Mr., Binlon, has
been thinking some time of making
crop He has all his plans matured and
we think If his suggestions are followed
they will all be successful in its cultiva-
ton. He says not only the straw is
valuable but every part of the crop can
be utilized on the farm. We hope to
be able to report progress in this new
divsrsifcation. and if the Beacon can
assist in any manner to make il sue
cess it will take great pleasure in doing
so, The following compose the associ.
alton: A, D. Binion, president W. E.
Stokes, manager, Chas. Hardin, secre.
tary, A. +. McCasBill, Jas. Bryson, S.
M, Thomas, Walter Price, R Evans,
