There is no way of improving a
section so much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle among you, and
! this can not be done unless you
spend your money at home. This
applies to the merchant as we'll as to
all our citizens.

After years of stealing through
under weights, apparently by conni-
vance of custom house officials pro-
tected by city politicians, the sugar
trust now seems in a fair way to be
prosecuted. The government has
been defrauded of millions of dol
lars and the facts have long been
known but all efforts to expose those
directly concerned in the frauds
have been smothered. The New
York custom house must have been
paradise for sugar thieves for
years.
Judge c. B. Staples, of Strouds-
burg, who has presided at the Wayne
county court of common pleas quite
often, has been elected Vice Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Juvenile
Court association at the convention
held at Harrisburg last week. The
work of the judge in handling juven-
lie cases has been noted throughout
the State, and most favorable COM
ments have been made on his fair
ness and sympathy for the young
people who find themselves in the
hands of the law.
The New York World of Mon
day had lengthy article regarding
the arrest of a deserter from the U.
S. army named Spangenberg, by
Detective Spencer of Honesdale, and
his delivery to the United States
officials at New York City. The ar
ticle goes on to say that Spangen-
berg's right name was Spencer and
that he was a brother to the detec-
tive who arrested him. This part
of the story is untrue as Spencer has
no brother and Spangenberg is the
right name of the deserter.
Free antitoxin was distributed
by the State Department of Health in
the period from October, 1905, to
January, 1909, in 15,429 cases
mostly little children who had been
stricken with diphtheria. OF this
number, 14,080 recovered, giving
the remarkably low death rate of
STA per cent. The parents of these
thousands of children thus treated
were too poor to pay for antitoxin.
The saving of these bright young
lives, therefore, must be credited to
the States beneficent aid.
