Makes His stand Plain.
That Roosevelt intends as a dele
gate to the state convention to urge a
progressive platform and candidate for
governor is clearly indicated, the poll
ticians say this morning, in that por-
tion of the colonel's statement issued
last night which says that a speech by
him would be of such a character 1t
might help If the convention nomina-
ted the right kind of a man on a clean
cut progressive platform, but that it
would hurt if neither the right kind of

Guest of President rnft.

President Pedro Montt came direct
from the Chilean capital to the United
States and was extensively feted i.s
New York But few days ago him
self, wife and immediate family were
conveyed on President Taft's private
yacht, the MayflOwer, to Boston, where
they took the train for Beverly, Mass,
and were the guests of President and
Mrs. Taft at uncheon. Upon his re-
turn to New York he booked passage
on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse for
Europe.
President Montt was on the deck of
the liner conversing with Mayor Will
liam ]. Gaynor when the New York
city executive, himself sailing for a
vacation abroad, was shot down by
James J. Gallagher, { discharged dock
employe, about a week ago. He was
one of the foremost Latin-American
statesmen. His father was president
of Chile 10 years, from 1851 to 1851,
and he himself was elected for six
years June "a, 1907. He was proceed
ing to Europe by special permission of
the congress of Chile to recoup his
health.

steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
was stricken by heart disease and died
at II: so last night. The heart stroke
followed an attack of angina pectoris,
of which he long had been a sufferer.
President Montt had expected to tour
the principal capitals of Europe and
pursue a course of treatment at a fam
ed resort.
Although a victim of recurrent CON-
plant for years, his orldition was not
thought to be alarming by his physi-
clan and immediate party. In fact, nu-
merous receptions and official audi
ences had been arranged for him, and
from all outward appearances his
health seemed to permit fulfillment of
his engagements.

HOPE EoR HoNEsnALE.

Honesdale, the beautiful county
seat of Wayne, which has had some
very severe jolts in a business way
during the past year or so, may in
the near future enjoy prosperity un-
dreamt Of. In the eudeavor to keep
up with the pace set bv the Lacka-
wanna in shortening the train time
between New York and Buffalo, the
Erie railroad, according to rumors, is
already at work surveying new
routes west. Erie engineers are at
present engaged in exploring North
ern Wayne for the most desirable
route for a cutoff line. The propos-
ed road will leave the main line of
the Erie at Lackawaxen and go
through Honesdale and strike the old
road again at Susquehanna or Great
Bend. This route, which would cut
out several important stations, would
probably cut off at least twenty or
thirty miles, and it is possible that
much better grades could be secured.
The benefits that Honesdale would
receive from being on the main line
of the Erie instead of having to de-
pend upon branch line train service
can scarcely be estimated Better
shipping facilities and more direct
communication with the outer world
will invite new industries and stimu-
late those already on the ground.
And there is little doubt that the at
fractions of Honesdale as a summer
resort would be more widely recog-
nlzed II the people of the city would
make an effort to secure guests dur
ing the heated term.
There is little doubt that the con-
templated Erie cutoff will be built
in the near future. The Erie rail-
road, IL it retains the western mail
contracts, must reduce it's time be-
tween New York and Buffalo to COM
pete with the LackaWanna, which has
become its most formidable rival.
With Honesdale on the main line of
the Erie; the Irving Clitf hotel built;
many new industries established and
the capacity of the old ones increas-
ed, Honesdale would forget the
troubles of the past few months,
caused principally, 1t is alleged, by
the scheming of boomers of other
towns for the purpose of stealing the
glass industries that have made that
section of Wayne county famous

A Dissertation on Lies.

Heretofore reluctant to touch upon
the gentle art of mendacity, recent
events emboldened us to offer some
observations. Now that 1t is no lon
ger a game of solitaire, but one at
which two can play, few reflections
while academic in their nature may
not be altogether uninteresting. Amy
intention, however, of competing with
the universities in this field of inves-
tigatiOn is entirely disclaimed.
1t was the Psalmist who said in his
haste that all men were liars. This
statement lends a comfortable air of
abstraction to the subject that robs
it of it's sting, but it fails to particu-
lariZe. The further assertion of the
Good Book to the effect that the devil
is the father of lies is likewise made
quate to the present purpose. For
it only proclaims him as being re-
sponsible for an innumerable progeny
that ranges in shade from those as
black as himself to the etiolated yari-
ETY. that rivals the lily in its white
ness.
The healthiest lie is the lie direct,
Paradoxlcal. as it may appear, the
