LA FOLLETTEE MAKES A
URREAK

When the Senate in it's great act
of making Juggling performance
look like surgical operation, came
10 the lead schedule in the tariff
bill, a most perplexing thing hap
pened. Senator La Toilette refused
10 vote on the ground that he own
ed stock in lead mines in Wisconsin.
He didn't think it was right, he
said, to vote on question in which
he was financially interested. He
thinks one should not let ones vot-
ing hand know what ones coupon
hand doeth.
If you have ever made a bad
"bveak" in large room full of peo-
pie you can imagine the embarass-
ing silence which followed the speech
of the Wisconsin Senator. Senators
Steel, Lumber and Railroads shifted
uneasily in their seats and Senator
Oil was visibly embarrassed. By
common consent everybody stared
hard at the vacant seat of lead-Sen-
ator Guggenheim and thus the situ-
alton was saved.
Senator La Follette's speeches
are not distinguished for their tact
fulness hut there are those who say
that they love him most for the
breaks" he has made.

SUIT AGAINST ERIE R.R.

The equity suit of A. G. Hollister
of Hollisterville, against the Erie R.
R. Co., is being heard in the Superior
Court room, Scranton, before Judge
Edwards.
Mr.. Hollister is seeking to restrain
the company from taking water from
the Wallen-Paupack stream for the
tanks at Saco and WINNERS, and
leaving him without any good part
of the time to run his grist mill
lower down the stream.
AS a lower riparian owner he is
practically put out of business, he
claims, as the pumps are always
busy, and the rest of the stream gen.
orally dry unless there should be
freshet or slathers OF rain.

Mr.. Roosevelt is still shooting
few dozen before breakfast. Wait
until he comes home. He must take
the skins of the animals he has kill
ed and make tent and hold re-
ception. A million people will visit
him and drop a dollar in the box.
The proceeds can go to charity and
then look out for the people in wild
acclaim at the next National Con-
vention. But Taft will succeed
himself, no matter how many ad-
mirers Teddy the Hunter may have.

HAS NO MONOPOLY ON VIRTUE.

When Senator McCumber not long
ago gave Tillman a deserved verbal
slap, he uttered a great truth and
one that needs discussing at some
length. Among other things Nc
Cumber said
The Senator from South Caro-
lima should get over the idea that
he is the only Simon Pure, unadul-
terated, honest man in the world, y
and Furthermore there are
others. The Lord didn't put all the
honesty in the world in the hide of
the Senator from South Carolina"
There is much meat around the
bone herewith. Senator Tillman
and Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Hearst and
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Gompers-each
one belonging to a different school,
on earth. These fellows somehow
seem to feel that they alone are
honest; that they alone have dis
covered what ails the people; that
they alone are of the Lords chosen,
and they go about insulting and
slandering their betters because
their betters believe in equal rights
to all.
Tillman is honest in what he
does. His vision is limited. A corn
field lawyer, in fact, he is not
man who has broad views. What
he knows he gathered after man
hood; he read books and the books
he read poisoned his mind. We
have never doubted Tillman's sin
cerity, but we doubt his ability. We
do doubt Bryan's sincerity. His
conscience and his pocket book are
too close together. Hearst is SEN
sational and wants to sell newspa-
pers. Watson is an egotist and
wants to be heard, that being shown
when he stated he was willing to
work for Colonel Mann of doubtful
character, for seventy-five dollars a
week, or some such sum and not
draw any salary. Gompers is the
limit of egotism and small-bore
craftsmanship.
These fellows yell in the wilder
ness; they inflame thoughtless peo-
pie and go about the country pro-
claiming their honesty and indicting
every man who fails to agree with
them.
What McCumber said certainly
contained much food for thought; is
was what might be called a sky
rocket right.
When these cheap statesmen are
called down; when men of learning;
education and ability make up their
mind to call them hard, we will see
something different. The United
States Senate is not filed with
rogpes as Tillman would have us
believe. Money is not running the
country as Bryan proclaims. The
world is better than it used to be,
and is hourly growing better. But
these blatherskites of national re-
nown would poison all men; they
would fill the minds of people with
bitterness and when analyzed and
the motive sought it is alone for
their own glorifcation and what
money may be indirectly coming from
it. None of them is a patriot. Each
one is hogging the game and eek
ing, by the most disreputable and
tactics to boost him
self further in the limelight. Nc
did we'll when he called
Tillman.

Plans Made by Which HOnesdale
District May be Merged Into
New Scranton District,

new SCFdntOn DlSUIlCC.
Representatives from the various
districts of the Wyoming Methodist
Episcopal Conference, in session at
Binghamton practically decided last
week to divide the Wyoming district,
making Scranton the center of the
other. To do this it will be neces-
sary to add two of the other districts
to the new districts, thus reducing
the number of districts to four.
Bishop David H. Moore, who pre-
sided at the recent Wyoming confer
ence, filled the chair. The recon-
mendations of the representatives
will be submitted to the Wyoming
Conference to be held at Binghamton
next year.
There is a probability that the
delegates will decide upon advising
that tho Binghamton district be di-
vided. This has been talked of for
some time. Other recommendation
will also be discussed-one looking
to entirely doing away with the
Owego district.

we are opposed to Socialism in any

never built an empire, never did any

1t is up to Billy Bryan to now go
into some dense jungle and go to
killing animals never seen by Roose-
welt. If he doesn't do it he is lost.
If he thinks that one little orphan

on getting its power under the old contract at a half cent per kilowatt. The government then could have sold its power to as many Phoenix light and power companies as chose to buy, but if it had charged them the price agreed upon in the present con tract, they still could not compete with the Pacific Gas and Electric company. If the government had re- duced it's price to all of its custom CTS to one-half cent per kilowatt to put them on a level with the old company the water users of the val ley would have been the losers.
 The contract, moreover, is no re- striction upon manufacture in Phoe- nix Any one who may at any time want to use as much as 100 kilO- watts may buy it from the govern ment for the same price the Pacific Gas and Electric company pays and may use it for any purpose except retailing.
 Thus it will be seen that the con- tract provides for the distribution of the power which belongs ito all the water users of the valley in a man ner most advantageous to all and in a manner that is fair to all. Any other disposition of it could not have established competition in the light ing business in Phoenix without cost or loss to the farmers, to every water user outside of the city. In this matter the reclamation service has exercised the same good judgment that has marked its solution of every problem directly or remotely related to the irrigation project.

to nullify the two provisions of the

The Mayors attorneys have claimed
all along that the county board had ne

the Municipal Act had conferred on
him. Judge Robinson sustained this
position by his ruling. He held that
the powers of appointment or otherwise
which the Municipal Act gave the

such action as the county board in its
