WHAT WAYNE WILL DO.

Since the nomination of Mr.. Ainey
the Democrats have seemed to take
more or less pleasure in telling of
the woes of Wayne county, how she
was scornfully passed by in the mat
ter of making the Congressional
ticket, and how Wayne county Re-
publicans are going to get their re-
venge for the way in which Mr..
Homer Greene of Honesdale was
sighted, by voting the Democratic
ticket, and doing other uncalled for
and foolish things. Some Republi-
cans may have Believed them-we
think not many. We can calm the
fears of any timid Republicans there
may be, and dash the hopes of the
over-anXious Democrats, by the i'm
partation of positive and most re-
liable information. Mr.. Homer
Greene is outspoken in Mr.. Ainey's
behalf, and is supporting his candi-
dacy most Loyalty. He will speak
from the same platform with can
didate Ainey at large meeting
soon to be called. There is no dis
affection among Wayne county Re-
publicans, and we have the judg-
ment of those Wayne counteans who
are best informed relative to the po-
litical situation that the Republican
Congressional vote will be as large
as the vote for the rest of the ticket,
and this is saying a good deal, for
the Wayne Republicans have a
strong ticket this year, and are go
ing to poll a heavy vote. All this
will be gratifying news to Repub-
licans throughout the district
Wayne will do her part. Let all the
other counties do theirs. Mr.. Ainey's S
majority in the district will be large.
but that is no excuse for even one
Republican failing to cast his vote on
election observation-disclosures, To-
wanda, Pa.

TO SECURE MORE LAND.

The Chicago park commission sug-
gests to the city council that 100
acres a year of public park land
could be secured out of Lake Michi-
gan without cost to the city. The
way would be to allow contractors
who cart away ashes, cinders, ex-
cavated earth and other material the
privilege of dumping the waste in
the lake, provided they build retain
ing walls at their own expense. This
would save the contractors the great
cost OF carrying this material far out
in the lake. Properly governed, this
scheme would appear to be entirely
workable, and Chicago has need of
more park spaces. Her park area is
1900 acres, against more than 12,-
900 for Boston, and 5000 in New
York.

William Brock Lesher, Republican
candidate for Register and Recorder,
is son of Austin and Margaret
Lesher of Sterling in which town
ship he was born, Oct. IS, 1876. He
was educated in the public schools,
Newfoundland High school and
Scranton Business College. When
seventeen years of age he began
teaching and for the five years fol-
lowing he taught through the win
ter terms, attending Scranton Busi-
ness College during his summer va
cations, and graduated from the col
lege in 1898. His attainments as an
accountant and skill in penmanship
at once secured him employment as
bookkeeper which position he re-
linquished a year later to assist his
father on the farm, whose health
which had been poor for many years,
became worse and who, by the way,
has been unable to do a days work
since. Being without any resource
the principal care of the family fell
upon Brock, who has taken care of
their needs nobly ever since.
More than ten years ago he Sc
cured employment with j. E. Cross
of Sterling, involving, besides the du-
ties of general clerk, those of assist
ant postmaster, position which he
still holds.
When Mr.. Lesher was a candidate
for County Auditor, one of his
neighbors, a prominent citizen of
Sterling, vouched for him as a self
made young man, honorable and up
right in his business transactions and
accurate and quick in his work. AS
County Auditor he has amply JUS
titled this estimation of his character
and attainments. He has made a
first-class officer, giving careful and
searching attention to the accounts
of our county officials, and the state
ments prepared for publication by
him and his colleagues have been
models of accuracy and comprehen-
siveness. His efficiency having been
amply proved by his record, his pro-
motion to Register and Recorder
should be assured.

WHY NOT HONESDALE?

Other towns are priding them
selves as being great summer re-
sorts-why not Honesdale? II the
people would awaken to the situation
Honesdale and vicinity could show
many, many advantages over inland
towns that they would sink into OBJ
livion.
With the advantages of the most
beautiful river and mountain scenery
in the State, practically on the
main line of two railroads and good
hotel accommodations, with a num-
Der of excellent sites available for
the erection of large summer board
ing houses, Honesdale and vicinity
could entertain thousands of visi-
tors. 1t ought not be very hard
work to get them here either
There are very few towns where
the general health of the community
is better and the climatic conditions
are usually satisfactory. While in
the summer months we have many
hot days the evenings as a rule are
cool thus giving the people some
relief from the heat; in fact the eli
mate is about the same as you
would find in the Poconos, one of the
most popular resorts for the New
York and Philadelphia people who
do not care for the seashore. Usual.
ly there is excellent fishing and there
is no place along the Dyberry river

LADIES GO TO THEATRE
ONLY HALF DRESSED

Women who come to the theatre
only half dressed" and others who
insist on copying cloaks and hats
hanging in the ladies' parlors were
roundly scored by Mrs. S. B. briggs,
who has charge of the ladies' rooms
alta prominent theatre in Cleveland.
Some folks come to the theatre
just half dressed" she said. "They
come with their shoes half buttoned
and their dresses only half hooked
up the back. The powder they apply
after reaching here and then take a
few dabs at their fingernails.
Then they try to bribe me to let
them try on coats and hats hanging
in the check rooms" Mrs. briggs
continued. Several times women
have brought pads and pencils with
them and sketched hats hanging
just out of their reach.''
Mrs. briggs husband, also en-
ployed at the theatre, declared men
were also becoming careless in their
dress. Forty years ago a gentle
man would never have come to q
play not properly dressed" he said

CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.

We Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.
We are so positive that we can re-
heve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost If
we fail.
We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause q re-
action, irritate and weaken the bowels,
and make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor Of
skilful research chemists. This rene
dy produces results such as are ex-
pected from the best of the best
known intestinal tonics, and it is par
ticularly prompt in it's results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels, having, it would seem,
neutral action on other organs or
glands. They do not purge or cause
Inconvenience. If they do not posi-
lively cure chronic or habitual consti-
patton and thus relieve the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic all
ments, your money will be refunded.

DEATH OF Il. Q. r.. NAssrRoM.

Although known by few in the
neighborhood, there was sad funer-
al at Moses Hollow, Wednesday, Oct
A, when the body of Theodore Carl
Robert Nasstrom, son-in-law of John
Sosenheimer, was brought from New
York city. Burial services were con-
Quoted by Rev. f. A. Van Solver OIL
Lake Ariel and the remains were laid
beside his wife, Nelly Sosenheimer, :,
in Salem cemetery, just nine months
from the day she died. Robert was|
stricken with typhoid fever in JULY
and was taken to Roosevelt hospital
where he died Oct. 1, 1911. His|
last request was that his funeral
might be as near like Nelly's as posi-
sible, but we cannot help but think
that it was not, for while father, sis
ters, husband and friends, mourned|
at her funeral, Robert had not al
relative or friend in the United
States. He was born in Sweden
about thirty years ago and after
studying in his own country hid
travelled and studied the language of
German, Italy and France, and at the(
age of twenty-one, rather than BID
drafted in the Swedish army, came I'd
the United States eight or ten yearsi
ago. He worked as interpreter for d
time and then as bookkeeper, which
position he held when Ihe died. Bel

MORE AMBITION NEEDED.

The American people lack ambi-
tion, said James Bush to a Citizen
man Friday morning. The world
wants more ambitious people, the av-
erage person is too slack. Why, do
you know that in a number of differ
ent places where l sell shoes that the
merchant does not even take an in
ventory of his goods. He does not
know what he has in stock. Many
times / have gone into country stores,
built a fire in the stoves and then
inventory the merchants stock OF
shoes before selling him goods"
Mr.. Bush is one of Honesdale's
wideawake citizens who is always
up and doing, is never found shrink
ing his duties and practices what he
breaches.

ONION SYRUP REMEDY FOR
COLD.

When all's said, the most reliable
remedy for a cold is onion syrup.
October colds are not easy to cure,
but the good old plantation COM
pound will do the trick. Slice a red
onion, tile redder and coarser the
better, and sandwich the slices with
coarse brown sugar. Put the sugar
and-onion sandwich in a saucer,
turn anC ther saucer upside down
over it, and let it stand a few hours.
The result will be a thick syrup, to
be taken as often as possible. Its
sweetness is so cloying you can't
drink much of it at a time, but the
more yoll drink the sooner you'll get
rid of the cold. Every southern
woman viii has had the care of a
number of children or servants pins
her faith to onion syrup.

Mr.. Wood came to Honesdale in
1884. He was superintendent of the
Honesdale Iron Works for ten years.
He then organized the National Ele-
vator Works, raising $4,000 capital
most of which was obtained in
Scranton. The Elevator Company
absorbed the Iron Works and he
was made General Manager. Dur
ing 20 years of his management of
these concerns, the records show
that over TWO MILLIONS DOL
LARS was spent for WAGES,
TAXES, BUYING PROPERTY,
ERECTING BUILDINGS, LUMBER,
and for GENERAL SUPPLIES.
This money went into the channels
of trade of Honesdale and some of
it went into every corner of Wayne
county.

cy. In loans there has already been a
considerable expansion. amounting to
about $l00,O00,000 during the last ten
years.
Business is still going through the
process OF REIMBURSEMENT which ended
some time ago in securities. Trade
generally is quiet, particularly in the
Northwest. Prices of commodities
continue to decline and breadstuffs
now show a drop of % per cent in
values compared with the highest
prices last year. while provisions are
i'll many cases 40 per cent lower than
year ago. There is no lack OF
wheat and corn and the scarcity of
meat is less apparent than a year ago.
This is largely the result of public
economy. the agitation against the
high cost of living having a decided
effect in this direction. The spirit of
economy is spreading. The textile
interests are feeling the same in
fluence. Cosnmers are wearing old
cloths longer and buying less of the
new. AS a result the cotton and wool
en- markets httatsafortunahalhS 1890
en- goods situation is extremely unsat

ficult to artificial sustain the price of
cotton. Tariff agitation is an added
source of complaint. In the North

been checked and liquidation has al
ready begun The end of this move

and it need cause no surprise II some
of the weaker financial institutions in

trade is the falling off in gross earn
ings which many roads now exhibit
In the iron trade there are welcome
signs Of improvement; lower prices
and the resumption OF building activi-

crop situation is also satisfactory; the
country as whole having been favor
