In Australia, the adult suffrag, g
bill has passed the senate without
one dissenting vote. This means
that at the next national elections
all the women in Australia will be
able to vote for members of both
houses Of the federal parliment.
While Belgium has been having
riots and bloodshed over the effort
to establish the principle of ''one
man, one vote, and finally failed
to secure It, Australia quie tly goes
ahead and gives a vote in national
elections not only to every qualified
man, but to every qualified woman
as we'll.
Women have had school and mu-
nicipal suffrage for many years
throughout all the six Australian
colonies. In 1898 South Australia
gave them parliamentary suffrage
d. 9. the right to vote for members
of the local parliament Of that
colony, and in 1900 West Australia
did the same. Now that women are
to have national suffrage through
out Australia, it is expected that
they will soon be given the right to
vote tor the locl parliaments in the
four colonies where they are still
excluded from this privilege. In
these four-Victoria, Queensland,
Tasmania and New South Wales
the position of women is now as
anomalous cs it would be in this
country if women could vote for
members of congress but not for
members of the state Legislature.

Geo. Lea Dead

George Lea, an old citizen of Port
Jervis and also we'll known to people
IN this section, died at his home in
that village Wednesday afternoon.
He was born in Paris, France, May
9, 1918, and soon after removed with
his parents to England where he
remained until about 1s43 when he
came to New York and engaged in
the drug business in which he was
successful. In 1856 he engaged in
theatrical enterprises in which he
also succeeded and became wealthy.
Engaging in stock speculations he
lost his money and in 1859 came to
Port Jervis and purchased a drug
store. He remained there in that
business, also becoming manager of
the opera house, and proprietor of
hotel until 1898 when he went TO
Middletown, where he pursued the
business of hotel keeper and con-
Quoted theatre. He bought the
Monticello railroad when it was
sold at foreclosure sale but soon
transferred it away. He is said to
have been the originator of the
cheap excursions on tile railroad.
His was a long, busy and enterpris-
ing life. He made and lost several
fortunes and died comparatively a
poor man,

The Ideal Newspaper

Rev. James Moore of New Bruins
wick, N. j., has been looking into
the possibility of an ideal news
paper. He says; "Ihe ideal news
paper will not be secured until we
have an ideal ci5y, and an ideal city
will never be secured until we have
ideal citizens, and the ideal citizen
will be uaheard of until we have
ideal voters, and the ideal voters
are not to be had without ideal poll
tics The ideal newspaper will only
be found in heaven where it will be
read by the angels, and then and
not until then, will be seen the ideal
newspaper. Atlantic Review.

The Philadelphia daily Press an
nounces its change in price from q
two cent to one cent paper.
With nothing changed except the
price, the Press, at one cent, will
continue TO be the great home news
paper, but with a new field of activ-
ity Its news pages, its depart
ments will represent trained eff
cheney, and its supremacy will be,
as before, along the lines that have
given it weight and authority, place
and prominence at home and at

The Press gives more news than
any paper published in Pennsylva-

making it invaluable to tue shipper,
the best woman's page, which
makes It a particularly helpful
home newspaper and treats fully
and fairly all political issues. In

of contributors, it is without a rival
in Pennsylvania and stands in the
front rank of the leading papers Of
the country.

was greatly run down. She had no
strength or vigor and suffered great
distress from her stomach, but she
tried Electric Bitters which helped
her at once and after using four bot
ties she is entirely well, can eat any
thing. It's a grand tonic, and its
gentle laxative qualities are splendid

Widen che Roads

The increasing number Of automo-
biles emphasizes the absolute necessi-
ty of widening the roads and espec-
tally Of having them trimmed out.
In many places below here on the
river road and particularly below
Dingman's it is almost impossible
for teams to pass and much more
difficult when meeting an auto. The
brush and overhanging branches pre-
vent seeing any distance a head and
at short turns in the highway one
could have no knowledge of the APP
proach of machine unless by hear
ing it. The automobiles have come
to stay and their number will increase
here because of the fine roads and
delightful Scenery. They have all
the rights of a vehicle and do not
frighten as do horses and it is there
fore incumbent on supervisors for the
protection of those driving horses to
see that the roads meet, so far as
possible, the legal requirement. 1t
would not be practical perhaps to
materially widen the roads in one
season but it is entirely so to see that
the brush are cleared out and this in
many places would obviate consider
able of the difficulty.

Julea Verne,a Prophecv

Jules Verne, that greatest Of mod
ern prophets, whose fiction has de-
lighted millions Of readers, now
comes out with a prophecy that the
power OF the newspaper will cause
the entire disappearance Of the novel;
From another source, we might pass
this up, but when Monsieur Verne
makes a prediction, we must pay
some heed to it. 1t is a fact that the
daily newspaper is replacing the
novel; and one may truthfully say
the magazine.

A Rare View

The Press next week will contain
a view of Broad street taken from
Centre Square showing the old Bu-
chanan and Emerson houses, the
old building which stood on the site
of the present Hotel Fauchere, some
other old buildings along the street,
and the spire of the Presbyterian
church, also the Knob in the dis
tance. The houses shown have all
now disappeared. The view was
published in a book entitled His
torical Collections of Pennsylvania
by Sherman Day printed in 1s43 and
contains the picture from which the
view has been engraved. This work
is extremely rare and the view
shown is a curiosity as giving an
accurate picture of the appearance
of Broad street at least 60years ago.
The work was kindly loaned to us
by Ex- County Commissioner Jas. H.
Heller, in whose family it has been
for many years.
Any desiring copies Of the PRESS
of the issue containing the cut please
leave orders not lat T than Wednes-
day, Aug. 27th.

President Roosevelt has just issued
an order which will endear him to
many wives and mothers in the
country. He has ordered that the
nam IS of killed or wounded privates
in the Philippines be cabled to this
country, as is now done in the case
Of officers. When Mr.. Roosevelt in
quired why this was not done, he
was told that the custom had not
been followed because Of the expense,
but he said that regardless of expense
it must be done in the future. The
president expressed himself as feeling
that it was htartless to keep the
wives and mothers Of our soldiers in
suspense until reports could be re-
ceived by mail. They learn that the
companies in which their sons or hus-
bands are enlisted have been under
fire from the reports Of officers injured
and then would be obliged to wait a
month TO learn if those dear to them
had been hurt or killed and he could
not countenance economy under such
circumstances.

The recent troubles in San Domingo
and Haiti have caused renewal of
the discussion OF the advisability Of
purchasing the islands for naval
stations for the United States. Haiti
especially is Of great strategic value
and is made doubly so by the determ-
ination to construct the isthmian
canal by the Panama route. Haiti
is nearer to that canal than Cuba or
Porto Rico and the island has one
remarkably good harbor and another
which would prove available. with
well stocked coaling stations in the
Danish West Indies and Haiti, the
United States would, in the opinion
Of naval experts, hold the key to the
Caribbean sea and would be in
position to protect her interests
against all comers. Ever since Grant
was president, there has been more
or less talk of purchasing these
islands and during the administra-
tion of President Mckinley the sub
ject received considerable considera-
tion but was crowded off the tapis by
more important and pressing events.
1t is, however, likely to be brought
to the attention Of congress during
the administration Of President
Roosevelt.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1902-08-22

There is current a report to the
effect that Mr.. Roosevelt win reverse
the policy Of President Mckinley
and will lend the assistance of the
administration to Mr.. Addieks Of
Delaware in his efforts to become a
senator fron that state. So far it has
been impossible to secure any posi-
tive confirmation Of the story but it is
evident that the republican organiza-
tion is in serious straits in that state.
Unless Mr. Addicks and Col. Dupont
arrive at a settlement Of their differ
ences in the near furture it is feared
that the democrats may secure the
control Of the legislature and possibly
send two democrats to the senate.
In view of so serious a situation, Il Is
possible that the president may de-
eide that the good Of the party as a
whole demands that he render such
assistance to the friends Of Mr.. adj
dicks as will secure his election.
The report was sent out, one day last
week, that Senator Scott OF West
Virginia had been deputed TO sup
port the contest Of Mr.. Addicks, but
the senator denies that, nevertheless,
the officials in Washington regard it
as extremely likely that the fear Of
losing two senators TO the democrats
has inpelled the president to throw
his assistance to the man whom he
regards es the stronger in the fght
