UNDERGROUND SCRANTON.

That the condition of underground Scranton pre-
sents problem worthy of immediate solution is ad-
mitted by all 1t is condition that must be remedied
and the sooner BETTER before accident costing
human life and destruction of property throws the
city into panic of fear.
The report of Messrs. and Griffith, the
engineers who have just finished their investigation
of the mine caves under the city of Scranton shows
that with the outlay of comparatively small amount
of money, be done to render the city safer
in every
The report shows that in certain parts of the city
there is distinct and immediate danger to life and
property" that 1870 of the entire surface area
of the city is Immediately threatened"
The solution of the problem is flushing The en-
gineers have arrived this conclusion only after
thorough exhaustive study of the condition Their
report has been approved by the Board of Advisory
Engineers. The condition of underground Scranton
necessarily grows each month. AS the en-
gineers point paragraph of their report 1t
seem, therefore, be only the part of wis
dom, but absolutely obligatory to at once commence
give support the points menaced, and thereupon
proceed upon general policy of giving support to the
entire area city; for it must be borne in mind
ing on other additional points of danger not
only liable to- probability will with
each passing year; it might almost be said with each
passing month.
If the sum named by the engineers will remedy
this condition there ought to be delay in raising
it, Compared with the beneficent results to be OBJ
tanned, $500 900 sinks into insignfcance We trust
that at all events the flushing" plan be adopted
by city tried without further delay. The city
municipal parsimony prevents the experimentation
of the plan perhaps there enough public spirited
philanthropsts in Scranton to the of
the venture.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The annual message of Mayor Jon Won Bergen
of Scranton seems to to be of the most busi-
ness-like, sensible and thoughtful documents
that has under notice in number of years.
1t is, in opinion, the duty of a Mayor, to rem
der the municipal government of which he is the Of
fetal head, efficient and capable the organized
machinery of modern business institutions.
Whenever a business finds defect in his
business he Immediately remedies it; whenever busi-
ness man finds incompetent employe he discharges
him and hires another who is better equipped to take
his place. In that does his business prosper and
it is the natural, inevitable business process.
Municipal government should be conducted along
the lines Mayor Won Bergen seems to be trying
accomplish this He has noted the defects in the
municipal government and has submitted plans by
which they may be remedied. The system of street
cleaning; the sewerage system the park and play
ground system, establishment of building line, the
police department and all the other problems
civic economy and civic waste have been thoroughly
investigated and methods of relief suggested.
The message of Mayor Won Bergen proves that he
is a good business and in this case it naturally
follows that he is good Mayor of Scranton

Mrs. Margaret Weichel died Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock, from
an attack of pleuro-pneumonia, at
the home of her son, Rudolph Wei
chel, aged siXty-seven years. She
was born in Germany, April l, 1914,
her parents being Abraham Stems
horn and Margaret Moor. Her hus-
band preceded her in death four
years ago. Funeral services were
held at her sons residence, River
street, Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30
o'clock, the Rev. w. H. Swift, d. D.,
officiating, with interment in the
German Lutheran cemetery.
Five sons were born to bless their
union of whom only one, Rudolph,
survives. Two sisters of the deceas-
ed, Mrs. Charlotte Allenbacher, and
Mrs. Catharina Bender, reside in
Honesdale. The funeral services
were largely attended by friends and
relatives who came to pay their final
tribute of respect and show their es-
TEEN for one whom in life they had
loved so we'll. The floral tributes
were numerous and profuse.

THE NEW YORK SENATOR.

At last New York is relieved if not satisfied. There
is great difference between relief and satisfaction
The long struggle to elect successor to Mr. Depew
is and the honor has fallen to Justice OGorman.
The Senator to be happy in the fact that he
Is without political history His opportunity lies be-
fore him and his historical page is to be written in
the next six years.
OF course Tammany has even if it's particu-
lar choice the "Blue-Eyed William" went down to de-
feat OGorman is a Tammany man, its grand sachem
in fact and the hall mark of Tammany Democracy is
upon him. 1t seems that he has not carried politics
into the courtroom. The New York papers have been
unable thus far to find any flaws and almost without
exception they pointed to the Senator that
his future fame depends entirely upon himself 1t
is be hoped that he carries out his progressive ideas
for instance the parcel post and the forfyng of
the Panama Canal.
Mr.. Murphy has not been vanquished except in so
far Mr. Sheehan lost the election The fact remains
Mr.. Murphy dictated the Senatorial choice That that
choice is palatable and acceptable is not his
fault but his good fortune
1t is said that the final choice lay between Her
Ridder, Bowling and O'Gorman which has given
rise to the question which the Irish in New York find
very amusing: What chance did a with name
like Ridder have with Bowling OGorman."
Be that it may, New York breathes sigh of
opportunity to add lustre to his name

ROBBER CATARRH

Its Victims.
Catarrh robs it's victim of energy
some physicians say of will power.
That may be the reason thousands
of catarrh sufferers haven't ambition
enough to accept this fair and square
offer by G. w. Peil which makes
without any why's and wherefores
or red tape of any kind.
G. w. Peil says: Il guarantee
HYOMEI to cure catarrh, acute or
chronic, or money back" and that
offer is open to every reader of the

me) is the purest Australian Eu-
calyptus combined with Thymol and
other germ killing antiseptics.
Pour few drops into the small
vest pocket HYOMEI inhaler and
breathe it into the lungs over the
infiamed membrane infested with
catarrh germs.
1t is pleasant to use-it kills the
germs, soothes the sore membrane,
and cures catarrh; if it doesn't your
money back.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs so
cents at druggists everywhere, and
at G. w. Peils. A complete outfit,
which includes bottle of HYOMEI,
a hard rubber inhaler and simple in
structions for use costs $1.0O.

THE RIOTS IN DELAWARE.

1t is a regrettable fact that riots, socalled
seem to be becoming more common all the coun-

ways racial prejudice the supposedly existing hatred
between negroes and whites.
Five cent whiskey is a remarkably good sub
sttute. For some weeks Laurel, Delaware has been
the scene of between the two which fin
ally eliminated in attack by the negroes on the
whites this is contrary to customary race riots
by the fact that in most the negroes are
always on the and the whites the aggressive
But the situation of band of armed negroes firing on
a number of unarmed defenceess persons on a public
street needs the thorough and careful investiga
tion and the authorities Delaware should to it

of such a curious anarchy.

To Suspend Publication.

The Macungie Progress is to
suspend publication next month, af-
ter an existence covering nearly a
quarter of century. The reason
given is that metropolitan papers,
delivered even to country subscribers
within a few hours of publication,
have been too severe a competition.
1t remains true, however, that the
smaller local paper still has field
to draw upon in the life of it's own
community, too important to neglect
and yet impossible for the metro
politan paper to treat adequately.
