the bridge on the New York side, now
the property of M. L. Skinner.

Base Ball and Sporting Notes.

Fielder Jones, last years manager of
the Chicago White Sox, refused to sign
a contract unless he was taken in as one
of the partners. Chicago will lose the
services of one of the hardest ball play
ers in the business.
Pittsburg's one million dollar grand
stand is said to be the largest of its kind
in the world. 1t has capacity of over
$4,000. Three shifts of men are work.
ing day and night to have it ready for
the opening day on July 4th.
The chances of seeing Mike Donlin
playing with the Giants this year is very
slim-not on account of his theatrical
contruct, but his physician has forbid
den him taking any violent exercise.
The outlook for base ball here this
coming season is not very bright.
Murphy, our star catcher of last year,
is thinking seriously OF playing out of
town. Kupfer, last years third sacker,
will probably leave for New York city
some time this week, and Milt Salmon,
captain and second baseman of last year,
will be too busy with his law. We will
certainly have to hustle to find three men
to hold down their positions.
The first game of base ball in this Sec
ton of the country took place in Car
bondale on Dufy's field on Saturday
morning between Public School No.
and Carbondale township High School.
Fifteen innings were played. The former
club won by the score of to 4.
A smoker and boxing contest which
was to be held at White Mills last Sat
urday by the White Mills Athletic Club,
was postponed indefinitely.
Dick Nollin and Tony Crane. of Scran-
ton, and former members of the local
team, have signed contracts for the
coming season. Nollin will play first
base for York, and Crane will play with
Williamsport.
William Cranston, of Avoca, well
known in Honesdale, having for several
seaeons played with Carbondale. has
signed with the Memphis team for the
Southern league.

Adeouate Punishment Needed.

Everyone must rejoice with MT.
and Mrs. Whitla in the safe recovery
of their boy who was kidnapped. The
crime of stealing and holding chill
dren for ransom is one of the most
dastardly anyone can commit. The
anguish of mind, the terrible
suspense and the fears of the parents
may we'll be imagined even though
not realized by the public. The case
of Charlie Ross comes vividly to
mind and the fate of that poor, un-
guish of any father and mother
whose child is stolen from them.
So heinous is the crime that it de-
serves the severest punishment,
and in one or two states death or
other very severe penalty is imposed,
The kidnapping of the Whitla child
has already led to other states pas
sing laws to adequately punish the
offence.
1t is a misfortune that it seemed
necessary to pay heavy ransom to
attain the recovery of the boy and
some are disposed to think that too
much haste was shown, that the
authorities should have been allowed
more time to hunt for the criminals
before any ransom was paid. Doubt
less the paying of large sums in such
cases is a premium on crime, but
allowance has to be made always for
the feelings of the parents. When
the fate of their child is concerned
it is not to be expected they will give
much thought to other things. For
tunately in the Whitla case the spec
dy arrest of the criminals following
the payment of the ransom, especi-
ally if it is followed with speedy and
heavy punishment, will go a long
way to discourage any prospective
kidnaper.

DON'T GET RATIFIED.

What with auto-suggestion, hetero-
suggestion, psychotherapy, and other
modern mental operations. with
their divisions and subdivisions.
warranted to cure disease and pre-
vent sickness, the average man Is
liable to get confused and to wonder
what it all means. But II he en-
cages in healthful work, eats good
food, Is cleanly in habits and lead a
clean life, he need not trouble him
self about hyphened scientific words

COAL STRIKE.

The decision of the anthracite NIL
ners not to strike gives a feeling OF
relief to the whole country which
vividly remembers the great stlKe Oh
seven years ago and of the loss
which resulted to the public. With
out commenting upon the the merits
of the case, concerning wich there
is naturally q sharp difference OF
opinion, it occurs to nearly everyone
who does not belong to the conten-
ding parties that someway should be
found to amicably and honorably
settle trade disputes as they arise.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-04-09

War, whether between nations, or
between capital and labor, may some
times be justified, but not until
every other plan of settlement is
tried.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-04-09

Let each one do his duty day by
day. No man can do everything,
but he can do something. He can
not be whole skyfull of sunshine,
but he can shed a ray of light.

ment which will not tolerate delibera-
ton. which has no regard for pub
licity, which accepts at sight anything
that is offered and which is wholly
satisfied with haste and silence. These
are the sorry characteristics of the
House of Representatives. If it were
not for the Senate. where debate is
free, the people would have little voice
in the legislative branch of their own
government.
The task upon which the Senate is
now engaged is the enactment of a law
intended to produce annually a revenue
of $500, 100000 or more. 1t is pro-
digious measure of taxation. The bur-
den actually to be placed upon the peo-
pie is much greater than the sum here
named. for the entire proceeds of in
direct taxation do not find their way
into the treasury.
Levying a tax of $500, 900, 600 year.
however, is an important matter
Justly imposed, such an impost would
be cheerfully borne unjustly, it would
lead to hardship and disaster. Fairly
distributed. the levy would promote
good will and a feeling of security I'M
fairly it would engender class preju-
dice and discomfort. If this law shall
have a life of ten years it will take
from the peoples earnings and estates
more than three thousand millions. to
say nothing of the other millions by
its terms transferred to the hands of
favored interests.
What business is more important
than this? 10 what subject can we
address ourselves more proftably than
to this? Where shall prosperity and
peace and justice be found if not in
the terms of such legislation as this?

Divorce Decree Made Public.

1t was made public Tuesday by the
entering Of the decree that divorce
was granted to Mrs. Belle Wisdom
Bronston, in the Circuit Court at Lex
ington on April II, two days before the
sudden death nf Mr.. Bronston. The
decree simply grants the divorce and
restores Mrs. Bonston' s maiden name
of Miss Belle Wisdom. Miss Belle
Wisdom, as she will be hereafter
known, will in all probability make ner
home in Lexington, where she has
many devoted friends and large prop
erty interests.

Judges.

Mr.. Taft IN his speech at Charlotte
called the Federal judiciary "th4
strongest bulwark that we have in this
country to protect ultimately our insti-
tutions Of civil liberty" and proclaim
ed as the rule governing his own policy
in relation to appointments that there
is no more sacred duty that the Execu-
tive has than in the selection of men
whose appointment and service on the
bench will strengthen it (the Constitu-
tion) with all the people at large"
Nothing that Mr.. TAFT is likely to do
as President can be of more Importance
to the country than his selection of
Federal Judges. says the New York
World. He has already expressed the
opinion that "the greatest question now
before the American public is the i'm
proyement of the administration of
justice, civil and criminal ;" but there
can be no, such improvement unless
men who are IN sympathy with reform
ed procedure are named for the bench.
Our courts have inherent powers that
are beyond the authority of any Con
gress or Legislature to change. They
have constitutional powers such as
have been vested by 10 other country
in such tribunals. No Congress, no
Legislature, can enact law abridging
the constitutional rights of any Ameri-
can citizen unless the court acquiesce.
No statute can deny justice or work in
justice unless the courts cooperate to
give it validity. Indeed, the only law
that has a practical existence in this
country is such law as the courts will
construe and enforce.
Whatever Congress or Legislatures
may try to do to diminish the laws
delay. the final reform must lie in the
judiciary itself, which has the power
to interpret what the legislative de-
partment has done. Without waiting
for legislative action the courts can
hasten and cheaper the process Of JUS
tice by quickening tie procedure and
by denying appeals that are based on
mere technicalities.
The Supreme Court Justices of the
State of New York are preparing to
form an association which among other
things is to consider this matter of ex-
pediating procedure. Such an associa-
ton can remedy most of the serious
abuses that have arisen in the admins
tration of justice in this State. and its
potentially for good Is unreasonable.
The World trusts that the Judges who
are promoting the organization will
carry il on to completion. New York
needs cooperation among the men that
construe and apply the law
While the Federal judiciary, as Mr..
Taft says. is the strongest bulwark ito
protect ultimately our institutions of
civil liberty, it is to the State courts
that the average citizen must look for
the administration of justice in mat
ters that most Immediately concern his
welfare. 1t is not the Federal courts
but the State courts that interpret the
constitution and laws of the State in
relation to its citizens, and the State
laws are those that are closest to the
daily lie of the people.
In a republic three is no more ex-
atled service that any man can per-
form than to be "a just and upright
Judge. whether he be a Federal Judge

that would be manifested by the colored
people, but. after having been in operation
about five months. the school is said to
have outgrown the experimental stage and
to be proving a success. An addition
