that of the reporters writing rapidly at their

New Hope for the Convicted.

The new probation act approved by
Governor Stuart marks distinct inno-
vation in the methods of dealing with
convicted criminals in Pennsylvania.
First offenders need not be sent to
prison, but may be released on proba-
ton, subject to such regulations as the
court may deem advisable, and if fines
have been imposed the money may be
paid in installments from the proceeds
of useful employment in which the con-
victed person is engaged while on pro-
baton.
Thus not only is opportunity afforded
for reform on the part of those who have
not become confirmed criminals, but
the way is left open for the convicted
person to continue to support those de-
pendent on him, while yet under re-
straint and subject to instant arrest for
violating the terms of his probation.
Provision is made also, under the in
determinate sentence plan, for the re-
lease of Penitentiary prisoners on parole,
after they have served the minimum
sentence, and for their absolute pardon
as result of good behavior on parole.
In both features of the new law the
incentive to genuine reform is provided
for all who are willing to take advan-
tage of it, while the fullest discretion is
given to the proper courts and the
prison authorities for denying the pro-
baton or parole privileges to confirmed
and desperate criminals.
The Tustin act looks like decided
step in advance, calculated to deplete
the population of jails and penitentiaries
and to save many young person from
a life of crime.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY"

We clip the following from the
Scranton Tribune of a recent date,
under the heading of MIR. Ross and
the Herald:
The Herald, the Democratic organ
of Wayne county, is not satisfied with
bossing its own party, but is and has
been trying to dictate how the Re-
publican board of county commission
ers shall conduct their business in
the interests of the Herald So far
as runneth the memory of man, the
manager and editor of the Herald
have never had word of commenda-
tion for Republican official or of
a Republican who has anything to
do with politics. They use rose wa
ter for ink when writing of Demo-
Gratis, but Republican doings are re-
corded in vitriol. For three years
they have repeatedly published mis-
leading articles and absolute false
hoods concerning the present board
of county commissioners and their
offices, and then as one political
leader aptly referred to it, getting
rid of the weeds" The Republican
leaders have already picked their
weeds" There will be weed
picking bee among the Democratic
leaders as soon as registrations close.

OBITUARY..

Miss Eliza C. Dimmick, who with
some years residents of Honesdale,
died at her home in Green Ridge,
North Scranton, on Sunday evening
last, May 16. Miss Dimmick who
was a sister of the Hon. Samuel E.
Dimmick, of this place, Attorney Gen
eral under Governor John F. Hart
ranft, was born in Bloomingburg, N.
Y, where her father, Alpheus Dim
mick, a graduate of Yale College, and
distinguished lawyer, located in
1915, and continued to reside until
his death in 1865. After coming to
Honesdale Miss Dimmick and her
sister made their home for the most
part with their cousin, Miss Lavinia
Dimmick, in the old homestead of the
latter's brother, Hon. w. H. Dimmick,
the elder, a former Senator and Con-
gresham from this district, who died
in 1861. After Miss Lavinia's death
they removed to Green Ridge where
they have ever since resided. AL
though it is nearly twenty-five years
since the Misses Dimmick left Homes
dale, recollections of their sojourn
among us are still warmly cherished
by many of our older citizens, who
were wont to regard the gifted sisters
as the personification of grace and
culture and perfect exemplars OF
womanly courtesy and dignity. Fun
eral services were held at the resi-
dence in Green Ridge yesterday
afternoon, and the remains were
brought to Honesdale, reaching here
on the 9:45 train this morning
for interment in Glen Dyberry ceme-
terry.
Martin Luther Rogers died at tn
Rogers House, White Lake, N. Y, or
Tuesday, April 27, 1909, aged Al years
4 months and IS days, of heart failure
caused by general debility. Deceased
who was son of John and Sophia T
Rogers, was born in this county, and
the family moved to Sullivan county
N. Y, in 1879, and located one mile eas
of White Lake, where he built the
Rogers House in which he died. His
father died twelve years ago. His mother
survives him, also one brother, John T
Rogers, and three sisters.
