The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-05-28

King Baldwin, the patriarch, and the
prelates of Jerusalem. and the barons
of the Latin kingdom, assigned them
various gifts and revenues for their
| maintenance and support, and the
! order being now settled in a regular
place of abode, the knights soon be-
gan to entertain more extended views
and to seek a larger theater for the
exercise of their holy profession. The
first aim and objects of the knights
Templars had been, as before men,
toned, to protect poor pilgrims on
from the coast of Jerusalem. But as
the hostile tribes of the Mosem, which
everywhere surrounded the Latin
Kingdom, were gradually recovering
from the terror into which they had
been plunged by the successful and
eXterminating warfare of the first
Crusaders. and were assuming an ag-
gressive and threatening attitude, it
was determined that the Holy War.
riors of the Temple should, in addition
to the protection of the pilgrims, make
the defense of Jerusalem, of the East

two valiant soldiers of the cross, who
had fought with great credit and re-
nown at the siege of Jerusalem in 1899.
Hugh de Payens was chosen in 11l3 by
the Knights to be the superior of the
new religio- military society, with the
title of master of the temple, afterward
grand master, and he has consequent

1t was not long before the fame
Of these new allies of the cross and the
Church of Christ had spread over Eu-

houses in all parts of Christendom soon
sought incorporation into so distin-
sulshed an order, which from it's start
received none but those whose social
standing entitled them to considera-
tion.
That which In its origin was some-

An lNCENDlARY DOCUMENT.

order had been Issued by q Philippine
commission prohibiting the reading OF
the Declaration of Independence in the
Philippine islands. The senator fur

has certainly brought us~into strange
situation, and one is forcibly reminded

1t seems little peculiar to
the acreage mind that repub.
licans are SO enthusiastic over
their pet hobby-protection
and yet every time one of
their number supports a free
trade measure they laud him
to the skies. Recently Con.
gresham Long made a speech
advocating a 40 per cent
reduction on Cuban tariffs
and the Eagle and several
other 6. o. p. sheets gave us
a page of big head lines and
portrayed the impression
that Chester is the greatest
being this side of the Deity.
The people of this country
are pretty nearly a unit in
the belief that a reduction
of tariffs is a necessity, but
the republican fixers won't
admit it and yet they are
constantly hedging. Of
course, a forty per cent reduc-
ton is far too mild, but it
looks odd to see such a
staunch republican as Long
meeting the opposition half
way, and his supporters rely
ing on that act to prove his
greatness. The republicans
would like to get into the
free trade band wagon but
they don't know how to do
1T gracefully.

To Be Argued March 18th.

The Sheriff case will be argued In
the supreme court March 18th, but a
decision will probably not be announc-
ed before April. This may settle the
controversy as to the other officers
and it may not. If the court should
hold that the sheriffs hold over another
year the same rule will apply in other
cases, but If it should hold that the
sheriffs must step out. the other officers
will still refuse to vacate. Then it will
be in order for the new officers to eth
er bring an action or else to lie down
and appeal to the people for justice and
right.

HELEN KELLER's FIRST EARNINGS
She Wanted Money to Buy an Island
for Summer Home and She
Earned 1t.

There is pretty story In connection
with the series of articles which Helen
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has
written for The Ladies' Home Journal,
telling about her own life from infancy
to the present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which fol-
lows successful literary work. and it
was with great difficulty that she was
persuaded to take up the task of pre-
pairing her autobiography. She had,
however, set her heart on owning an is
land in Halifax hartor for a summer
home, and in spirit of fun the editor
of the Journal offered to buy it for her,
or to provide the means to buy it.
When the work of writing appeared es-
pecially irksome Miss Keller was re-
minded of her desire to become a land
holder, and it spurred her On. Just be-
fore Christmas she completed the first
chapter of her marvellous story; and on
Christmas morning she received from
her publishers check for good round
sum. Her delight may be imagined.
for this was the first money of any &C
count which she had ever earned. ut
is a fairy tale come true" she said.
Whether she will really carry out her
plan to buy the island remains to be
seen.

Republican newspapers are

Tending the DISTINGUISHING
act, otherwise known as the

Some of the most prominent
republican papers, after last

demned the law and said it
had the effect at that time
of DISTINGUISHING at least one
fourth of the voters. If it
has that effect in a small To-

If any democrat, IN order
to make political capital
against the republicans Or. to
secure the honor for some flu
ture democratic senate, has
been tempted to urge the
postponement of the passage
of the resolution favoring the
popular election of senators,
let him remember that it is
more important to secure a
reform than to secure the
glory of it for any particular
party. The democrats can
afford to join the republi-
cans. in passing any good
measure. The election of
senators by the people is too
important a reform to be de-
layed for partisan purposes.
Let the vote on the resolu-
ton be unanimous if pos
sible. It is the stepping.
stone to other reforms.-Bry-
ans Commoner.

If the Peoples party had
never been successful in a
single election Or if it should
never elect as much as one
public official in the future,
the results it has accomplish
ed and those it is destined to
accomplish in the future,
should endear it to every
American heart. It teaches
the ethics of good government
and from those teachings
spring material results. But
for the ideas advanced by
the new party, municipal
ownership would not have
been thought of, there would
be no prospect for anything
approaching direct legisla-
ton or election of senators
and presidents by a direct
vote of the people, the gov
eminent canal plan would
have been declared visionary
and impractical and scores of
other internal improvements
now being undertaken for
the public good would be
spurned by congress. It has
been said that a constant
stream of water wears away
the hardest stone, and so in
our cause, constant agitation
brings our principles into
public favor. It is for this
noble cause that Populism
exists rather than for the
spoils of Office, and if any
other party takes them up
Populists will help to bring
them to a successful issue.
Every material advancement
the nation enjoys today is
the result of reform thought,
though the true authors will
probably never receive the
credit.

CONTESTS ARE LOOKED FOR.
Competition for OFFICES in State D

Competition for Offices in State De-
partment of Agriculture Looked For.
The election of officers of the state
department of agriculture, which will
be held by the state agricultural con-
vention Wednesday afternoon of this
week, promises to develop two con-
tests of interest, according to the Reg
lister and Leader of Des Moines One
of these will be over the yice-presi-
dency of the department and the other
over the treasurershlp. Indications
now are there will be two active can
didates for the office of vice-president.
They VIII be G. e. Cameron of Abba
and J. A. Manatrey of Fairfield, both
members of the directory board of the
department. The other contest will
be between G. D. Ellyson of this city,
who is seeking a reelection to the
treasurership, and Harry T. Blackburn
of TIL Iowa National bank of Des
Moines.
President J. e. Frasier of Bloomfield
will not be candidate for another
term and w W. Morrow of Alton. who
is now vice-president, will probably be
made president by reclamation. j. w.
fWadsworth has been mentioned as a
candidate for vlce-president, but it is
understood Mr. Wadsworth will CON
tent himself with seeking another
term as director and that he will prob
ably secure another term without OPP
position. The members of the direc-
tory board to be elected this year are
those from the even numbered dis
tricts. They are c. w. Phillips Of Ma
.quoketa,e r. T.. st. John of Riceville.
T. c. Legoe of What Cheer, John Led
gerwood of Leon and Mr.. Wadsworth
So far as known none of these
gentlemen will have serious opposi-
ton for election, though candidates
are likely to develop after, the dele
gats begin to gather. If6Mr. Cameron
is elected vice-presidentt a new direc-
tor willfhaye to be. elected in the

AN INDIANS PREDICTION.
Red Man Professor Says Snow Will
Equal Summers Rain.


Equal Summers Rain.
If the prediction of a weatherwise
Tama Indian, can be relied on, the
residents of Iowa will be buried under
many feet of snow this winter, accord
ing to the Waterloo Courier That
newspaper further, says on the sub
ject: '5' s.iaa
T The red man, who has been success.
full in his predictions in the past, states
with all confidence that we shall re.
ceive as many snowstorms this winter
as we received thunder storms last
summer. He says that the rule has
never failed in the past, and he sees
no reason, why 1t should in the future
But this is not the only reason, why
this prognosticatorJ promises several
feet of snow during the coming winter
months. All Of the usual tokens of a
hard snowy winter, as displayed by
the muskrat squirrel, cornhusks, 4etc.,
he claims, go to strengthen the natur-
al sequence of a deep snowfall follow
ing a heavy rainfall. aef,.,3
If this Indian speaks with authority,
we shall all need snowshoes this win
ter, the street and steam cars will re-
quire an enlarged quota of snow plows
and stock will be able to do little brow.
sing in the meadows and along the
streams. Nearly forty-eight inches of
rain fell during the summer months,
and if the moisture in the, form of
snow is to equal this record this will
be our pitiable condition.; One inch
of rain in the form of snow equals be-
tween six and seven inches, Forty
eight inches of rain therefore, in the
form of snow will equal 312 inches. or
twenty-six feet. That is to say. the
snow will be twenty-six feet deep on
the level. OF course it will be much
deeper in the drifts, probably from sew.
enty-five to $50 feet in places, The
average height of houses is about thir.
ty feet. 1t can thus be seen that with
a little shoveling one will be enabled
to get into the upstairs window. If
the snow all stays that falls, which the
red man professor says, very few
strawberry plants will be killed by the
alternate thawing and freezing usual
in this latitude.
