Early Morning Fire at Racket store.

Early Morning Fire at Racket Store.
Fire destroyed Cyrus NJ. Cooks store,
known as the racket store, on Kilburn
street early yesterday morning, causing a
loss of approximately $2500 The alarm
the first in town in several months, was
given about 100 o'clock, and the depart
ment was on hand quickly, but on account
of work on the water mains the flames
made much progress before a stream of
water was obtained The Fisk and o. c.
Robertson pumps were not available and
the pumps at the AmidOn and G. A. Rob
ertson mills had to do all the work The
building was a two-story wooden struc-
ture, 20 feet by 40 feet in ground dimen-
sions, and Mr. Cook carried a large
variety of articles for the retail trade.
Mr.. Cook was aroused by his dog and
saw a blaze among some excelsior and
packing cases on the second story piazza
in the rear. He ran to the street and
gave the alarm, and crowd congregated
in a short time. The cause of the fire Is
unknown. The property was insured fol
$500. Insurance adjusters will inspect
the premises this afternoon to adjust the
loss. Mr.. Cook has not decided whether
he will rebuild.

ONE OF WAYNE'S BEST EDUCA-
TORS DEAD.

Professor John Franklin Dooley,
principal of the Waymart High
school, suffered a stroke of apoplexy
on Friday which resulted in his
death on Sunday. He was born Apr.
4, 1862. at McCalls Ferry, York
county, Pa, and is the son of Hugh
and Adelia (Smith) Dooley, the
former of Irish and the latter of Ger
man extraction The father was for
years foreman on the Tidewater
Canal, but died in Maryland in 1872.
The mother died in 1871. During
his childhood days, Prof. Dooley liv-
ed with his parents in Hartford coun-
ty, Maryland, where he remained un-
til he was twenty years of age.
When fifteen years old he entered
Darlington Seminary, in that county,
taking the five-year course and grad
uating in 1870. On leaving that in
stitution he engaged in teaching for
three years in Maryland. During the
following three years he attended
the Millerville State Normal. and
also took a special course in peda-
gogy, graduating in 1876. He then
taught school for two years in Man
helm, Lancaster county, Pa. The
following year he taught at a Normal
Institute at South Sterling, this
county; then for a year at Upper Le-
high, Luzerne county. After a year
spent in Green, Pike county, Pa, he
came to Waymart where he has
been principal for twenty-nine years,
and the success of establishing the
High School is due to his untiring
efforts. He was married on April
|, 1879, to Miss Almira F. Wolf, of
South Sterling. He was one of the
leading members of the Methodist
Episcopal church, of Waymart, and
active in church and school work.
AS an educator and citizen he de-
served the unqualified regard and
esteem which has been so freely ac-
corded him by the entire commun-
ity. He is survived by his widow
and one son, Ralph e., of Montana,
and a brother, Hugh f. of Cardiff,
Maryland. Funeral will take place
on Thursday from his late residence
at II o'clock, Interment in Glen
Dyberry cemetery, Honesdale.

teresting article about j. X Turner
who is employed as mediator be-
tween Labor and Capital. His busi-
ness is to settle troubles that exist
between employer and employee, and
prevent strikes and lockouts. His
plan is to take up the grievances
that exist and by conciliatory meth
DDS make such adjustments as will
be satisfactory to both sides. He re-
ceives no pay unless successful in
bringing about a peaceful solution
of the trouble that exists. He has
done much to bring about industrial
peace.

4 MAN OF MYSTERY.

Charles Edward Russell, in HUI
man Life for April, throws new light
on the strange story of a man whom
Fate seems to have marked from the
beginning to be memorable eX-
ample of misfortune.
This mysterious being, but yester-
day the center of the worlds inten-
sest interest, and to-day forgotten
and neglected, is Major Alfred Drey-
fus of the French army. Although
thick-crowding events have forced
him from the center of the stage,
as a world-force Dreyfus can never
be forgotten. Destiny has fixed his
place in human history for all time.
Now that the fever of hate and
prejudice has subsidized, and the lapse
of Time permits a truer perspective,
some of the real causes underlying
this unparalleled drama are begin
ming to come to lighthouses of
such far-reaching import that their
ramifications extended through
nearly every country in Europe, and
convulsed not France alone but the
whole continent. The case created
profound political revolution in
France, and wrought astonishing
changes in State, Church and Army.
Mr.. RusselPs clear and dramatic
story of this, the most extraordinary
rale assumed by any man in this
generation, and productive of the
most stupendous results, cannot but
prove of profound interest to
thoughtful men and women every
where, showing, as it does, myster-
les within so baffiing that the case,
as a whole, will doubtless take rank
in future ages with that of the
MAN in the Iron Mask" or the fate
of the Dauphin, son of Louis XVI.

THE TRAMP LUXURY.

Another luxury which the nation
enjoys, and which with our other en-
joyable luxuries has contributed its
share to the present high cost of liv-
ing, has come to light in the recent
report issued by the New York State
Board of Charities. This is the lux
ury of tramphood. More than 500,-
900 tramps now find a livelihood free
from expense and labor in the United
States, according to this report. For
the most part they are strong,
healthful men. Their energies, if
corralled and directed would be worth
almost a second Niagara of physical
force. What this army of derelict in
dividuals could do if set to work is
almost beyond the bounds of imagin-
alton. In the one item of road
building they would be force which
would accomplish in a few years what
it may require decades to do under
our present methods of getting pub
lie work done.
In addition to the fact that there
are many serious objections to hav-
ing this class of vagrants roam the
country, there is the direct cost of
their keeping. 1t is estimated that
they represent an expense of $1,000
900 annually to the public, which
has to maintain almshouses, jails and
hospitals for their accommodation.
There is hardly a city or town of
any size in this section of the country
which is not infested with this class
of beggars and vagrants. Many of
them are vicious, all are a nuisance.
AS the sun goes higher, the warmth
will bring them out of hibernation in
and about the large cities. They will
renew their old-time aimless pill
grimages.
This fact ought now TO strike us
forcefully that we have tolerated in
luxury at public expense as long as
we should tolerate the free and in
dependent guild of tramps. 1t ought
TO be evident that one of our social
problems demanding attention is the
consideration of vagrant labor. The
desirability of establishing a farm
colony in each state for the proper
care of this class is manifest. We
are letting a small Niagara run to
waste. and it is thing which has nc
beauties to recommend perpetuation
in its present state.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-04-06

Gentlemen who insist on "cussing"
the tariff for the high cost of living
should take a copy of the new tariff
law in one hand and a price list of
groceries and meats in the other and
inform themselves. Maybe they will
find what the philosophers call food
for thought. And it isn't very
high price for that sort of food,
either. 1t is just a little compari-
son.
For example, it will be noted that
the tariff rate has been increased on
figs. pineapples, dates, hops, split
peas, grapes in barrels, buckwheat
flour-and all of these things either
remain at the old prices or have been
reduced in cost to the customer.
And we only see one chance for
the "cussing" gentleman to reply.
He may say he doesn't care for hops
anyway.
On the other hand, the tariff has
been reduced on beef, bacon, mutton,
veal, pork, ham. barley, green peas,
dried peas, cream, starch, cabbages,
lard, cornmeal and sugar, among
other things-and on all these things,
or nearly all of them, the prices have
gone up.
There is no question of the high
price of living. But it isn't fair to
charge the Tariff with being the
cause of it. For the tariff doesn't
do it-as the facts and figures show.
Living costs more and more be-
cause more and more of the people
who produce have quit producing and
have gone into the consuming class.
And there is little hope of the cost
of living getting down to oldtime
prices until the tide of population
turns from the mills and the cities,
and the millions now dependent on
wages-or charity-turn to taking
care of themselves by raising what
they need for food, and a little for
the market
Then things will get down to the
normal-and not until then.

PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS.
He Outlines His Position on the
Labor Question.

81 believe in labor organizations,
and If | were skilled enough to be-
come a member, | should apply for
mem bership. The fact is, | believe
am an honorary member of the
Steam Shovelers' Union. But in
spite of that, and in spite of my
sympathy with organized labor,
put above them, above everything,
the right of every man to labor as he
will, to earn the wages that he will,
and if he chooses, to stay out of
labor organizations. That is the
standpoint that the President of the
United States must occupy in doing
justice to every citizen of the United
States.
Now. the reason why | am in
favor of organized labor, is that labor
must organize to be on an equality
with it's employers and the capital
that employers have. 1t can secure
an increase when the market is go
ing up and earnings are increasing,
and it can prevent the too hasty re-
duction when wages are falling off
and becoming light. They come to
Congress and we must consider them.
They are some of the most important
considerations that we have.

We doubt very much that the re-
spective parents would advertise
the true condition of facts with the
same vigor as the first grievance.
In regard to our feeling towards
the union or any other organization
of workingmen, we believe:
l. That every employee has the
right to join any organization he
cares to, but that he should not be
compelled to join by arbitrary or
other repulsive methods.
2. That the employer can only
consider ability on the part of the
applicant.
3. That goods which are sold by
the dozen, cannot be produced at a
day-wage, as day-wage would
make it impossible to determine the
true cost of an article. A day-wage
would also place the Industrious
and ambitious employee on the same
level with the drone.
4. That any demands for higher
wages should be made when the
new sample-lines are prepared and
that no disturbances should be
created at the very opening of the
season, and when the statesmen are
on the point of starting out on their
trips or have left already.
For the better guidance of the
readers we have divided the men
into four classes, as follows:
/. Comprise men, who are able
to do any class of work given them.
2. Comprise those men, who can
do the average kind of work of
medium grade.
3. Comprises the men who can
only do the cheap kind of work.
4. Comprises apprentices, boys
and men who have not been con-
nected very long with the glass
cutting trade.
Any appreciable difference in the
various payments to the men is
mostly caused by idleness or non
application.

THE HERBECK- K-DEMER CO.'S
DENIAL OF PAYING POOR WAGES
A SWORN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY THE ABOVE NAMED
GLASS CUTTING COMPANY
Honesdale, Pa, Apr. 2, 10,

Honesdale, Pa, Apr. 2, 1910.
To the Editor:
As we are advised, that the state
ment is frequently made nowadays.
that it is impossible for the men, en-
ployed in the cut glass factories in
this town, to make living wages, and
that for that reason the present
strike has been inaugurated, we
enclose herewith copy of our pay
roll from January 22d to March
18th of this year, with an affidavit,
as to its correctness, giving the ex-
act amounts, paid to the different
men, whose names are also given.
We feel satisfied, that there are
thousands or hundreds of thousands
of union men who cannot show such
an average and these figures ought
to show at once that the claims of
the men are not based on facts. At
the same time we want to state,
that so long as we are in the glass
cutting business, we have never re-
duced a price after it was once
established The claim of the rep
resentatives of the Glass Cutters
Union, that the cut glass manufac-
turers of New York and Brooklyn
could not compete with the Homes
dale product. is not a true statement
of facts. Honesdale has never
flooded the market with the cheap
class of goods, which is produced in
New York and Brooklyn and which
has done so much to discredit cut
glass in the eyes of the more exclu-
sive purchasers.
Returning to the wage question
it might not come amiss to state,
that some of our men have asked
our foremen for extra pay-envelopes,
to enable them to deceive their
parents or wives as to the amount
of money received. Mothers have
visited us and complained about the
meagre pay their children were
bringing home on pay day; in one
case the young man had reduced
his pay by more than so per cent.
