Johnaon Rises to Remark

To the Editor of PIKE COUNTY PRESS :
Apropos of my sign,-on elevation
rear of Old Half Way House, which
now reads "Bust Johnson's Face, "
L would say that I most heartily
decline as party of the Second Part,
to have my face subject to any such
strenuous treatment for two good
and sufficient reasons. First, / have
only one face, and then again, it
would hurt,
However, if the young gentlemen
will come to the conclusion the joke
has been in operation long enough
and is getting whiskers upon it, and
will replace my sign as it originally
stood, all will be forgiven.
1t is no small task to drag heavy
rocks to their proper place TO form
these letters and would ask in fair
ness to myself that may not be
obliged to do it unaided and alone.
If the young gentlemen, who are
authors of this practical joke, and
who are all friends of mine, will
designate some convenient time,
will meet them and together we will
wend our way to the spot where
"The Filter of Feet" has beeh trans.
formed into the subject of "facia
massage" and there, together, right
the wrong and proclaim to the worlt
once moro that am the only ant
original Filter of Feet. "
Yours very truly,

Two Men Injured

AS Joe Carhuff, president of the

who lives ON the former Kilsby

returning home from the. primary

near the residence Of A. s. Dingman
on the river road a man on a bicycle,
and becoming, for some unexplained

team, a pair of colts, and started in
pursuit At the little rise just
beyond Adams brook and nearly
opposite the house Of Laf Quick he
overlook the wheelman, and, it is

Saturday morning, August 1. Mr..
Wood was born in Orange county,
New York, February 2, 1916, and
was a son of Charles and Phebe
Wood. While young his parents
brought him to this county and
settled in what subsequently became
Shohola township. His father pur-
chased the land in 1880 on part of
which Mr.. Wood lived and on which
he died. When a young man he
made trip to New Orleans and for
a time was employed as overseer on
southern plantation. Returning
by way of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers he came to this county and
engaged in farming, which pursuit
he successfully followed until declin-
ing years compelled him to retire.
He was a man Of sound Judgment,
strict integrity and unbending will,
known and respected far and wide
for his upright character and indus
trious and prudent habits. He
married Elizabeth Middaugh, a
daughter of one of the oldest settlers
in that vicinity, who survives him.
He is alsosurvived by two daughters,

These Things in Beer

A man who was formerly q brewer
recently said that beer brewed in
this country nowadays contains:
Citric acid, as a "flavor."
Glucose, as a "sweetner. "
Tannic acid, as a "bleacher. "
Sulplites of lime, as a cleanser. ''
Tartaric acid, as representative. "
Benzoic acid, as an "antiseptio. -
Salioylio acid, as "preservative. -
Kalrum MEDIA sulphite, as a
''preservative."
Juniper berries, as an antidote for
the salicylic acid.
The brewer declared that there
had been little or no pure lager beer
made in this country for ten years.
The above ought to be a fairly
good temperance sermon.

Pixies COUNTY SEAT
Effort Being Made to Change Place
From Milford to Matamoras

From Milford to Matamoras
"There is a prospect Of removing
Pixies county seat from Milford to
Matamoras.
"Milfordites are fighting the
scheme bitterly and say there is no
chance for the Matamoras people to
succeed.
Milford has always been the
county seat and always will be, say
leading residents of that VILLAGE.
1.-THE movement began among the
citizens Of Matamoras and other
towns in the northern and western
portions of Pike county.
1T is claimed by those who favor
the change that public convenience
would be promoted by such a change
and the public expenses reduced. It
is said that a careful canvass of the
towns lying west of Matamoras on
the Erie and along the Lackawaxen
branch reveals a strong sentiment
in favor of such a change.
ut is said that a large land owner
in Matamoras has offered to give
the county buildings in case the
change is made. "
The above, clipped from the
Northampton Democrat, we don I
know from where it clipped it, is
just the kind of stuff dreams are
made of. Do people up there sup.
pose that a county seat can be
changed as easily as a Matamoras
lady tints her complexion? If this
emenates from Matamoras people
it would look as though their sue
cess in defeating a Port Jervis water
crowd and substituting for it hot
air concern of their own had turned
their heads There is just about as
much probability of a change of the
county seat to Matamoras as there
is that Matamoras will become a
strictly prohibition village within
the next five years.

Prof. Jordan on Woman Suffrage

Prof. Jordan on Woman Suffrage
President David Starr Jordan of
Stanford University writes;
"The purpose of manhood suffrage
is not primarily to give good govern
ment but to make men strong.
Without responsibility for national
affairs, men will lose interest in them.
Without interest, they will fail in
intelligent comprehension of them.
The tendency Of manhood suffrage is,
to give broader views, wiser methods
of action, and higher patriotism.
While democratic forms often yield
bad government, it is through their
operation that we have the best
guarantee Of good government in the
future.
"If voting has this effect on man,
we have a right to expect similar
results from the extension Of the
suffrage to woman. 1t has been
made a reproach to women that they
are short-sighted, devoted to the
near and the immediate, careless Of
ultimate results. This tendency
exists IN the nature of things for
woman's sphere is the home, rather
than the nation. But, if it be a
reproach, the extension Of response
bility would correct it.
cit is moreover true that the
average man is prone to feel a
greater Interest in far-away affairs,
which he cannot control, than in near
matters which effect him vitally.
He neglects the home and its needs,
in his interest in the nation. The
sanitation Of our own streets, the
extinction of the slums in our own
city, the publication Of centres o.
corrosion which destroy our owr
children, is far more vital to US, as
individuals, than the problems o.
Imperialism, Of commercialism, ol
even Of national finance. In greaI
affairs our republic is the most stabl,
of nations. Her failure is in loca
and municipal administration. 1t il
the reflex Of the weakness Of tn
average man. This the shorter bs
clearer sight Of the average womal
would tend to counteract.
equal suffrage would tend t.
broaden the minds Of women, and &
increase their sense Of personal re
sponsibility. 1t may help to solv
the problem Of honest and clean loca
government. 1t may tend TO max
our cities centres Of sweetness am
light, as well as Of activity an
strength.
