REGULATING MONOPOLIES

"All monopolies must come un-
der regulation" is getting to be a
more aud more popular phrase.
And the right thought is in it..
But wouldn't it be better to de-
mand that all monopolies be abol-
ished? There is no oppressive
monopoly which does not depend
for its power on some government
tai grant of special privilege, and
why attempt to regulate the use of
special privileges? Why not abol-
ish them? AS matter of tactics,
it may indeed be desirable to be-
gin with regulations; but why de-
ceive ourselves with the notion
that regulation will work that
anything short of abolition of priv
ilege will remedy the ills of mo-
nopoly?-The Public.

Scouts To Fight Blight
knights of King Arthur Will Locate
Extent of Chestnut Blight In
County.

The cooperation of the Boy
Scouts of Honesdale in the fight be-
ing waged against the Chestnut Tree
Blight in Pennsylvania by a commits
sion appointed by Governor John K
Tener, has been secured, and the
youthful Knights of King Arthur are
being instructed in the work by
Scout Master E. G. Jenkins.
When seen by a Citizen man
Monday morning, Mr.. Jenkins said:
:" The Scout Master recently re-
ceived a communication from Prof
Detweiler, executive officer of the
Chestnut Tree Blight Commission,
asking that the Boy Scouts cooper
ate with the commission in their
efforts to determine the extent of the
blight in this country. For the past
two weeks, the Commission has had
three field men in the county, and
they have gone into the matter in
detail with the Scout Master, have
furnished him specimens and the
Scouts will be instructed in the To-
eating of infected trees, and will be
impressed with the necessity of total
destruction of all bark and limbs of
every tree infected. 1t is expected
that the boys will locate trees that
are freshly infected and will watch
closely the development of fungus
growth.
The Boy Scouts do not make it a
practice to beg for money. They
are supposed to earn in some manner
the money which they need to carry
on their work. In Summer, Mr.. Dit
trich very kindly gave them a benefit
through the moving picture show
which met with most hearty sup
port throughout this vicinity and
the boys have shown their apprecia-
tion by their increased and constant
enthusiasm in the Scout movement.
Mr. Dittrich has again offered the
boys the chance and they have Sc
cured the Dunbars, the most famous
Bell Ringers in the country, for Fri
day evening, November "a. The
boys are now selling tickets and are
meeting with the success and inter
est which they anticipated"

HOW TO KILL A TOWN.

A rafting good way to kill a COM
munity, commercially and indus
trially, is for the people to insist on
every possible restriction against
corporations; demand increased
valuation of their property for pur-
poses of taxation; side against the
management without investigation in
every little wage controversy that
may arise; abuse the owner of fac
tory because he does not do this or
has not done that; discriminate
against an employer of labor in the
courts, if one happens to be on a
jury; tell the stranger within your
gates the town is not what it used
to be; always say the banks are to
blame for the failure of the town to
prosper, and refuse to allow your
neighbor the benefit of the doubt if
he happens to be charged with some
irregularity. Just knock. Begin
early and keep it up throughout your
daily walk. Don't miss an oppor-
tunity to strike at the interests of
the community, and if you are per-
sistent and careful you will drive all
the people and business away from
it. 1t has been done, and with very
good success.-Exchange.

ern part of the State and through
North and South Carolina.
The blight follows the Delaware
and Susquehanna Rivers. Along the
foot of the mountains you'll find a
great deal of chestnut timber. No,
l haven't run across a rattlesnake in
Wayne county. The season is about
over. You'll find rattlesnakes wher-
ever there's rough mountain coun-
try. This fungus has never yet
been found on any living thing save
chestnut and chinquapin. 1t has no
effect on the fruit. It'll kill almost
any tree in two years. We cover
about 15 or 20 miles day.
The Commission positively has
the right to go on your premises and
cut your timber down and if you
refuse to do it, to charge you with
the expense, and it can be collected
the same as any other debt.
"One man in Wayne county has
told me he was going to cut his tim
Der. Any person that's disposed to
cut their timber and wants to sell
it, can write to the Commission and
we'll do all we can to help him sell
it. We keep in touch with the mar
ket. 1t probably will be to their
advantage to do SO. We expect to be
in a position to help him to sell it to
an advantage. The blight does not
destroy the timber for commercial
purposes. 1t isn't an insect.
1t won't enter tree unless
there's break in the bark. Get into
campmeeting ground where there's
horses being tied, and naturally
they'll gnaw tree, and carry it to
the next tree.
" 1t washes on down the tree, as
soon as it gets damp. Or a bird
comes along, gets the spores in its
feet, and carried them to another
tree, injecting it. These spores are
less than 1900 of an inch long
and 10000 of an inch in width"

persede those of the State militia.
The regulations are those approved
by the Secretary of War on August
19 and differ from those in use in
this State for years in many particu-
lars. The drill regulations are now
being issued and are accompanied by
a memorandum prepared by Major
Charles S. Farnsworth, U. S. A., in

The examination will be made in IT,

the parents or guardian may be pres
ent. The pupils vision will be test
ed by the use of Snellens chart and
the degree of impairment if any not
ed. This will be followed by hearing
tests, breathing tests and an exami-

diseases, nervous disorders, quar-
antinable diseases, deformities, and
the general nutrition of the child all
are to be considered.
In addition to the examination of
the pupils the medical inspector will
make thorough report of the sani-
tary conditions of the school and it's
surroundings. This will be most
complete as to details. The condi-
tion of the rooms and halls will be
noted and the method of cleaning

be computed, as we'll as the number
of cubic feet of air space per pupil.

location of the apparatus. The wa

Wherever medical inspection OF
schools has been instituted within

it's value has been so thoroughly de-

proved of such aid to thousands OF

be done otherwise, but we hope there

All the preliminary arrangements
for the work of medical inspection
have been completed by DR.. Samuel
G. Dixon, Commissioner of Health,
and during the coming week the act
ual work will begin throughout the
321 boroughs and 100 townships
which are to receive the benefit of
the act of assembly authorizing this
protective measure.
1t will take the 500 physicians
who will be appointed the task, about
two weeks to complete the work in
the field. When this is done all the
reports will be sent to the depart
ment of health where they will be
studied carefully, and whenever a
record is found of child who is de-
ficient in sight, hearing or otherwise
in need of attention, the parents will
be notified by the commissioner. In
no instance will the doctor making
the inspection communicate direct
with the parents. This will be done
by DR.. Dixon through the teachers,
who will receive a duplicate report
which they are required to keep un-
til the end of the school year.
