There is much to commend this
growing sentiment in favor of a pen
sion for the old miners. The soldier
who engages in hazardous war is
remunerated, though poorly, for his
services from the public treasury,
but the fellow who tolls a lifetime
in the bowels of the earth for a
pitance too often becomes an object
of charity or a burden on his family
when disease or old age ends his
usefulness. The number of miners
incapacitated for work at an age
when they should be in their prime
shows the unhealful conditions that
surround them at work. Scores are
broken down, afflicted with miners
asthma and chronic rheumatism, be-
fore arriving at 40. The more char
liable among the mine bosses per-
nit them to work at slate-picking in
the breakers, but others do not want
them in any capacity. The broken
down miner ought to get at least
his house rent as partial payment
for the permanent impairment of
bodily condition he has received in
an occupation not all able-bodied
men are willing TO undertake.

Jack Eldredge. a 26-year-old youth

In New York you have to cough
up a dollar cash for your marriage
license, and when you get license
for your dog the state soaks you 81
but you have the dog a year, is a
posed-to-be-funny paragraph now
strolling leisurely along the shady
lanes of the hot weather newspaper
columns. New York must be radi-
cally different from some other
states under that handsome flag,
then. Dogs that howl and yawp un-
der the neighbors windows at
night-d'ye-call-it do not
always live to give their owner the
value of the 50 license charge in
some of the states where we have

In regarding childhood we too
frequently gaze in the wrong direc-
tion. We should look up and not
down.-Titusville Herald
Now look here. Who ever said a
word about the American parent
looking down on his children? He
did that back in the old Puritanical
days, but he does not do it now. Too
often he stands meekly and abiectly
by while the kid with more book
learning" systematically proceeds to
look down on the old woman and
the old man. The only other looking
down we have collided with in a
somewhat extensive excursion among
our confiding fellow countrymen is
the determined disposition Of the
typical man of this period to look
down on the men that profit by his
payroll. or on the fellow whose ready
made suit of clothes cost $11.98 at
the July bargain sale, or whose fam
lily tree got planted Is minutes later
than his own-and there, whether
you ever thought about it or not, is
the cause for more jealousy, fric-
tion, spite, uneasiness and other
cheerful social trihes than ever fg-
ured in any labor row or political
contest from 1892 up to this morn
ing.

Abuse is not argument. A man
who reads the riot act whenever he
tries to discuss things has a poor
conception of his subject and ought
not to be entrusted with a consid-
Grafton of anything nearer than the
Japanese war. The fellow who can
not understand that there are two
sides of the fence usually eXhausts
his remaining brains butting the
wall. Volume of sound is in some
quarters regarded as mental ability;
but it is rather the vacuous roaring
of shell. Liberality of view is the
supreme test of brains.-Titusville

Frequently you pick up a local
paper and after glancing at it, wear
lily throw it aside, remarking:
Nothing in the paper this week" ="
Did you ever stop to think what
that phrase means? 1t means that
in the week passed no misfortune has
befallen anyone in our community;
that no fire has wiped out a neigh
boris worldly goods; that the grim
angel of death has crossed no thres-
hold of a friend; that no man driven
by liquor, hatred or fear has taken
the life of a fellow human; that
no poor devil, haunted by the past
misdeeds of some other, has crossed
the great divide by his own hands.
So next time you pick up a paper
that doesn't announce a tragedy give
a little thanks instead of grumbling
because there is no news. Or, If you
would rather, shall we dish up a
choice morsel of scandal? Would
your eyes grow round, and would
you smack your lips with relish if
we were to write up a sensation?
Well, we can do it.-Carbondale

1t is gratifying to know that the
Salvation Army officers have received
sufficient money from generous AL
toonans to insure the success of
their annual outing to poor children
at Lakemont park. Stevenson said
that so long as we love we serve.
He might have gone a step farther
and declared that so long as we love
children we contribute money and
time to promote their pleasures.
Those of us who supplemented with
money the time so cheerfully given
by the Salvation Army officers to
provide a picnic for the poor chill
dren of Altoona will reap tremend-
Gus interest in juvenile joys if we
can only be there to collect it.-Al-

The Republican party has drawn
young men to it because it has stood
for principles that were right, and
that has given America its place
among the leading nations of the
world, says the Nicholson Examiner.
1t is fifty years ago that the party
came into control of the nation.
With the exception of four years the
government has. been controlled by
it, and our country has prospered.
The policies of the party have stood
the test and been found safe, and for
this reason the people are loath to
place the power in other hands. 1t
will be because the masses feel that
the Republican party has drifted
away from the old principles that
will cast it away.-Montrose lnde-

An number of residents in the upper
wards of Bristol have recently been
the recipients of obscene postcards,
some of which have contained in
sulting comments written upon them.
The cards, of course, were unsigned.
The cards were enclosed in envel-
opes. The receipt of these cards
have been so frequent that complaint
has been made to the postal authori-
ties at Washington. There was no
reason for the sending of the cards,
except the gratifying of the deprav-
ed and idiotic nature of the sender.
The penalty for sending cards of this
character through the mails is a
fine of $500 and Imprisonment for
one year, or both. 1t is hoped the
identity Of the rascal sending the
cards will be discovered and he be
given the full penalty.-Bristol

A new Christianity has been eyoly-

creed, for it is said to be creedless,
but it is declared to be up-to-date

their new religion gets into con-
troversy between Genesis and geol-
ogy these professors will staRd by
geology. They confidently assure
those interested that their new re-
ligion is scientific, ethical, practical
and altruistic." There have been
a number of new ideas that emanat-
