POLLEY RETNION.

On Saturday, June II, siXty-three
members of the Policy family gath
cred at the beautiful home of Mr.
and Mrs. George France, two miles
east of Lake Ariel. The older peo-
pie occupied the time by hand-shak-
ing and visiting, while the young
people amused themselves with
baseball and other games. About
O'Clock all sat down to one of the
best dinners ever spread, to which
every one present did ample justice.
At 3 p. m. the president, F. Chap
man, called a business meeting on
the lawn in front of the house. The
minutes of the last meeting were
read, collection taken and all bills
paid. Nay Aug Park was decided on
for the place of meeting in 1912.
Election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, F. Chapman; vice
president, w. Merring; treasurer, R.
c. Chivers, and secretary, H. E. Pol

GRADY'S RIDICULOUS BILL.

Senators who voted for the Grady
bill must have been ignorant of the
way in which great deal OF edi-
torial matter is actually prepared
1t does not always come intact from
a single pen. 1t is the result of col
laboration, often of extensive changes
and rewriting. AS one contributor
said to one editor. 'Well, all that
you left of my article was the title
and the first and last sentence. -
Who would be expected to sign such
an editorial? The truth is that
there is more than some people think
in the editorial we" The opinions
expressed are the result of the con-
sent of different minds, and the
form itself is frequently the result of
much emendation and recasting.
There can hardly be a week in
which a newspaper does not publish
an editorial, long or short, of which
no one man was the writer and which
no one man could conscientiously
sign as his. Yet Senator Grady
would make it a misdemeanor not to
sign? 1t is evident that he and his
supporters know very little about the
workings of a newspaper Office from
lAt llSluC
But the chief argument against the
signed editorial is that it would de-
strOy the greatest power which the
press can legitimately exercise. We
mean the power of an established in
stitutiOn, with a long and honorable
tradition behind it, with a known
clientele Of readers, and with the in
herited and Cumulating influence of
the men who in the past have made
it what it is 1t is comparatively of
little Importance who the particular
men are who happen to be editors at
the moment; the main thing is the
weight which the newspaper for
which they work carries in the COM
munity.
The question is not of individual
opinion but of collective policy of
standards and judgments which have
been long in the making and which
come to stand by themselves imper-
sonally. This is the chief power of a
newspaper 1t is greater than any
editor. 1t is Independent of person.
ality. The voice with which it
speaks is not that of an individual
but of past history, of present re-
pute as an institution and not merely
as a collection of persons.
This is the kind of journalism
which AnglO-SaXons have cherished
for good reason, and it ought not to
be Overthrown in a day by a Grady

WOES OF AN EDITOR.

A man who owns eighty acres of
land and has brains enough to till it
makes the lot of country newspaper
men look like the last sad remnants
of a Dutch lunch. The farmer has
the best of it all around. He is as
Independent as an express company.
He doesn't have to write a soulful
obituary over some peak headed fell
low who kept on display an exhibit
of cut plug profanity that would
make the efforts of steamboat
mate sound like a meeting of the Ep-
worth league. He doesn't have to go
into rartures over the beauty of an
open face bride with a cast of coun-
tenance that would blow out the gas.
The farmer isn't required to lie un-
til his back teeth fan ont about the
sterling manhood of a groom with
ears like a caulifloWer plant and
the brain power of "a shOte. He
doesn't have to run contest for the
most beautiful young lady in the
community, make everybody sore
about the winner and then print a
seventy-fve cent half tone of the
beauty that looks like tintype Of

SoCIOL0GIST SUGGESTS
PAY FOR MOTHERS.
Rearing Of Children a Social Service,
Says Professor Howard

A college of domestic relations in
which the family and its related in
stitutions should be as freely, openly
and unsparingly subjected to scientific
investigation as are the problems of
modern political and industrial life is
advocated by George f. Howard, pro-
feSsor of sociology at the University
of Nebraska He gives his views in
an article published in the American
Journal OF Sociology.
''The sociologist, the economist, the
household scientist and other special
lists should join forces in such an in
stitution to give sound training in the
problems Of sex, parentage and the
household" he says.
mo more harmful blunder was ever
committed by theological subtlety than
the setting aside of marriage as a di-
vine institution"
There should be a revision of the
matrimonial laws Of the country, Pro-
fessor Howard declares, and he sug-
gests these improvements:
Endowment of motherhood by the
state.
Abolishment of the common law
marriage.
Twenty da-s' public notice before
the issuing of license.
Limiting marriage to those who are
Of age.
OF the endowment of motherhood
Professor Howard says:
Recognizing parentage as a social
service, social duty which should
be paid for at the public expense,
looks very much like social justice.
"In its administrative division our
matrimonial laws require drastic re-
vision at almost every point. We
need a better and a uniform license
system. 50 as to secure full publicity
and faithful compliance with the
spirit of the law.
mo standard of legal, mental OF
moral fitness is established. Often the
important function Of social control is
exercised with incredible ignorance
and levity. The frivolous or merce
nary magistrate and the feet parsor
flourish Oh American soil.

GREAT CRICKETER DEAD.
Or. E. M. Grace Had Played For More
Than Sixty Years.

DR.. Edward Mills Grace, the oldest
brother of the famous family of crick-
eters, passed away a couple of weeks
ago at his home in Gloucestershire
England, at the age of seventy. He
played cricket for more than sixty
years, and to be in sport for that
length of time and to be great in ones
day is n distinction earned by very
few men. He began to play the game
when he was ten years of age, and it
has been computed that during his ca
reer he scored 76,7O5 runs and took
1850 wickets in match play.
He was born in 1S41 and played his
first match of note in the month of Au-
gust, 1855, when he made one of the
team from West Worcestershire that
met and defeated the All England
eleven. In the early sixties he was at
his best, and notably in 1863 he took
part in fifty matches and obtained an
aggregate of 3,074 runs. In those days
his bowling was as effective as his hit
ting. With George PARIS team he Wis
tied Australia in 1868 and 1864 and
was the whole feature or the trip. NO
man of his style had up to that time
been seen in Australia.
1t was singular that while he was
away in the land Of the Southern Cross
his younger brother, DR.. w. G. Grace,
had begun to earn fame. Another
Grace, the sporting world said, and the
greatest Of the trio, the other broth
er, Fred, died some years ago, but DR..
w. G. is still in the land of the living.
Although feeble and very weak on
his legs, DR.. Z. NJ. played a little last
summer, but he scored only nine runs.
1t is recorded that he fell down ex-
hausted more than once in trying to
score He loved the game and played
it just as long as he could. Along with
his ability as a cricketer DR.. Grace was
a good shot and all round sportsman.

Guards Recipes For
Her Vegetable Candy
Unique ConfectiOn Maker Delayed
With Orders From all Parts of
United States.

Deluged with orders from al
parts of the country for her vege-
table candy, Mrs. Ellen Gillen has
outgrown her cozy kitchen in Homes
dale, where she first concocted her
unique CONNECTIONS, and movement
is on foot among Wayne county cap
italists to establish factory for her.
Since the story of Mrs. Gillen's
witchery as candymaker was made
public it has been widely circulated.
Letters from San Francisco Chi
cago, Birmingham, Buffalo, and Mon
treal, as well as from smaller cities
and towns, have poured into the
modest cottage, and the majority of
them have contained checks and
money orders for samples of the
wonderful confeCtion.
Doting parents who have put the
ban on adulterated candy, society
women in search of novelties for
dinner parties and far-sighted man
ufacturers and jobbers who are anx-
ious to secure a monopoly on a pro-
duct that threatens to put a dent in
candyland have stormed Mrs. Gil
len with requests for samples.
