Rivermen between Claymont and
Port Penn say that the shad season
will be early this year provided
there comes two weeks of warm
weather. The season in the south
ern waters has been late and as
consequence the snow and ice will
be cleared away before the arrival
of the fish. 1t is estimated that in
this section there will be over 100
boats in the trade this year. and
that means over Sl00, OOO for fisher
men. Two men invest $3.50 in the
net and outfit for each boat and if
they do not own the boat they have
to rent one. Some men own their
boats and hire their helpers, while
others divide their profits, each man
has from s4OO to $3.50. The result
is decided by the price of the shad.
Shad sold high last year and some
boats caught as many as $500 fish
each. Evening Journal.

The Philadelphia and Atlantic
City transportation Company's 8
steamer Goldsborough, bound from
Atlantic City to Philadelphia struck
on the treacherous shoals of the
Brandywine, Wednesday, and in a
short time filled with water. The
tug Hughes passed the disabled
steamer and reported her condition
and the Lewes life saving station
crew Immediately started to assist
the seamen, but before they arrived
the crew had landed at Cape May
without injury to anyone. The
steamer is about thirty years old,

is THIS PROGRESSIVE JOURNAL
ISM?

We print elsewhere a few extracts
culled from the editorial columns of
" the Wayne Independent of Wednes-
day, November 18th. Each extract
is from a separate editorial, and all
are simply sample OF the abuse
with which the columns of one post
election copy of the Independent
were filled.
The American people are inclined
to forgive and forget strong express
sions used by a partisan journal in
the heat and excitement OF a politi-
cal campaign. But to continue a
programme of abuse and villification
after the people have settled the is
sues of presidential contest by
their ballots, is something hereto
fore unheard of in reputable journal
ism. There were 659 voters of
Wayne county who believed in the
Republican party and it's policies,
and in the administration of Presi-
dent Taft, and who by their ballots
at the late election, expressed a de-
sire for the continuance of that ad-
ministration. How do these Wayne
county voters relish being told by
the Independent that along with
other Republican voters they cast
their ballots through the lowest
and meanest of all human passions, :"
that so far as being truthful, that
never was and is not expected of
them" that they are members of
gnant dynasties that ever cursed a
people" that by voting as they did
they confess to a baseness of char
acter that places them upon a level
with the political bosses and graft
ers," that they are particeps criminis
with thieves, robbers, grafters,
bosses, Williams, tyrants, liars and
other undesirable citizens too num-
erous to mention?
Doubtless the Independent feels
as did the ass in the fable, that it
is quite safe to kick a dead lion. But
our kicking contemporary should
have care. This lion may not be
as dead as he seems to the Inde-
pendent to be. Six hundred and
fifty-nine intelligent and determin-
ed citizens of Wayne county, resent
ing such malignant and purposeless
abuse as has been heaped upon them
by the Independent, may turn out,
much to the dismay of that aggres-
siye journal, to be very live prop
osition.

HIS VICTORY

The New York Sun has the fol-
lowing:
The victory" said Colonel Roose-
welt, just before election, lis already
won" He must have meant victory
over Taft and the non-seceding Re-
publcans. He must have meant the
triumph that brought defeat and
perhaps issolution to the party
which has honored him ever since he
first sought its favors. This is vic
tory, no doubt, in Col. Roosevelt's g
habitually personal way OF looking
at things. No other victory has he
won this year.
But the man whom Colonel Roose-
welt has thus punished for declining
to invite young Mr.. Garfield to the
Cabinet mahogany and for rightly
dismissing the insubordinate Gift
ford Pinchot from a minor office has
also won a victory of his own. He
has blocked the third term. He has
saved the life of the wise custom
which must ever be the main safe
guard against the success of the rev.
olutionary enterprises of popular ad-
venturers. He has maintained the
cause of constitutional government
and has held steadily and courage
ously, in the face of almost hopeless
conditions, to the great principles
which must prevail while the Gov
ernment we have endures.
We venture the opinion this morn
ing that President Taft's victory is
much the greater of the two. Honor
to him in his honorable defeat!
Gratitude to him for this service to
the country he has in all other re-
speCts served so we'll!

JOURNALISTIC CONSISTENCY

Inc Washington party candidate
for congress in this congressional
district was Hon. w. d. B. Ainey of
Montrose. Inasmuch as the Inde-
pendent was an official organ of the
Washington party in the late cam
paign, and its editor was the high
chieftan of that party in W ayne
county, it might have been reason
ably supposed that the Independent
would advocate the election of its
party's candidate for congress, or at
least refrain from urging editorially,
the candidacy of his opponent. AS a
matter of fact the Independents edi-
torial columns were used to further
the candidacy of Hon, Joel G. Hill,
the Democratic candidate. And
while the Independents advocacy of
his cause does not seem to have re-
suited in any great rush of voters
to Mr.. Hills standard, it must have
occasioned some inquiry among the
simon pure Washingtonians as to
the why and wherefore OF the lnde-
pendent's attitude. Mr.. Hill was a
worthy Democratic candidate. Moth
ing that could be said by the Inde-
pendent in his favor as Democrat,
as a man of high character, as a
worthy representative of this dis
trict, would be an exaggeration. But
what the curious are wondering
about is why SO rabid a Washington
ian as the Independent should have
abandoned it's own party's candidate,
a man of no less integrity and ability
than Mr.. Hill, in order to advocate
the election of the candidate of a
party SO bitterly denounced by Col.
Roosevelt during the late campaign.

Enrico Taggart Receives Fortune
Joseph Sheard to RevoIutionize
Plumbers TorCh--Hunter Shoots
Ten Rabbits in One Day.

The Galilee cremery is open for
business only every other day
Alfred Gregg has gone to the Wyo-
ming Valley to seek employment.
Clifford Keesler recently bagged
ten rabbits in one day, all that the
law allows one hunter to shoot in
one day.
Someone recently entered Israel
Keeslers cellar, while the household
slumbered, and carried away as
many cabbages as they thought they
needed.
1t is reported that Joseph Sheard
is working at and perfecting a
plumbers torch that will surpass
anything yet in use in that line. He
intends to apply for a patent.
c. NJ. Pethick has been doing con-
siderable concrete work around his
store, and has put in a concrete floor
in the shed used to accommodate the
patrons of his store. c. NJ. rarely
does anything by halves.
1t is a heavy penalty to hold raf-
tles, yet they are not a rare occur
renee here. When some one is made
an example of by the law, others will
heed the admonition. But till such
thing takes place, they will con-
tinue.
V. A. Keesler, formerly of this
township, but more recently of Can
astota, n. Y, where he had employ
ment with the Watson Construction
Wagon Co., has just purchased the
estate of the late Anthony Wall and
will again turn his attention to
farming.
Enrico Taggart recently come into
possession of a considerable sum of
money by the death of his father,
which occurred in California some
time ago. The senior Taggart was
supposed to have died many years
ago, and the announcement of his
demise at this time was a surprise to
his relatives here 1t is said he left
quite fortune which goes to his two
sons. The other son, Porter, has a
position on the Brooklyn Eagle
Mr.. Taggart was for many years a
resident of this place and his wife
was a sister of the late John S.
Garfield.
The Wayne county teachers are
again on duty fresh from institute
week. No doubt many, perhaps all,
brought back bags we'll filled with
DuIlSIuulS. w III Il6y give lutlT pu-
pills of this bag of nuts? VIII they
throw these nuts promiscuously, or
will they deal them out moderately
and furnish bags to hold them?
Many of the boys and girls looking
up to them for instruction have no
bags to hold the nuts and these
must be supplied with such recep-
tacles. Will some of these teachers
tie the mouth of that nut bag with a
hard knot and set it aside never to
be united? Teaching is one thing,
"cramming" is another thing. There
are teachers and there are salary
drawers; perhaps many more of the
latter than of the former. The pres
ent law fixing the salary of teachers
is wrong. Some teachers are worth
double, perhaps fourfold more than
others. The present law does not
discriminate.

81 900 GAVE TO WILSON FUND.
Charles II. Crane Contributed $4O,-
900, Another Man a Penny.

The figures which Role Wells,
treasurer of the Democratic National
Committee, has compiled to show
the number of contributors to the
Wilson campaign totals $1,000
names, the longest list by all odds
that any national committee treasQr-
er has ever put on paper. The aver
age contribution was a shade over
$12, making total of about ST.
100000.
The largest contribution was that
of Charles r. Crane, who gave S40,-
600, with Cleveland H. Dodge's $685.

Stops Scalp Itch
Dandruff and Every Form of Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by Zemo.

1t is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub a little
of 1t in with tips of the fingers. 1t
gets right down into the glands, stim-
ulates them, stops the itch, and
makes the head feel fine. No, 1t
isn't sticky! Zemo is a fine, clear,
vanishing liquid. You don't have to
even wash your hands after using
Zemo. And what a wonder 1t is for
eczema, rash, pimples and all skin
affections. A 25-cent bottle at A. NJ.
Leine's drug store, Honesdale, is
guaranteed to stop any skin irrita-
ton.
Zemo is prepared by E, w. Rose
Medicine Co., st. Louis, Mo-, and is
regularly sold by druggists at 81 a
bottle. But to prove what 1t will do
at trifling expense, Zemo is now put
up in 25-cent trial bottles.

A FEW CHOICE EXTRACTS FROM
THE WAYNE INDEPENDENT OF
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1912.

The old boss-ridden Republican
dynasty is dead.
One of the most corrupt and
malignant political dynasties that
ever cursed people of any state or
nation.
The political bosses of the domi-
nant administration deliberately
stole the Republican nomination in
Chicago from Mr.. Roosevelt.
All of the old Pennsylvania
bosses and political grafters gave a
grunt of satisfaction over the result
of election, through the lowest and
meanest of all human passions-re-
venge.
Many of the standpat tory leaders
cast their ballots for revenge; they
confess to a baseness of character
that places them upon a level with
the political bosses and grafters.
When a man was named a candi-
date by this dynasty there was not
another man in the locality where
he lived who dared to say he wanted
the place or that his life or his
position were his own.
Revenue office was meanly remov-
ed from Scranton as a spite action
on the part of the Taft administra-
ton. What rank political Villany!
The Republican party committed
hari-kari, or self annihilation. Only
the tail of the sordid old serpent
remains in action. Even that will
soon cease to wiggle because the Re-
publican boss has been dethroned.
Having become a tyrant he deserved
death
The result of the election should
have toned down the enthusiasm of
the Taft-Penrose countrywide dis
credited followers to common de-
cency, but so far as being truthful
that never was and is not expected
of them.

SHERMAN LAW HELD
COMPLETE FAILURE
Col. Roosevelt Says Trusts
Are Opposed to lmprov-
ing the Statute.
(National News Association

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 15.-The Sher-
man antitrust law was today branded
complete failure by Col. Roosevelt
He replied TO an attack made on his
policy in regards to trusts by eX-Sen-
ator Edmunds of Vermont, by assert
ing that the Progressive party plat
form offers specific method of hand
ling the trust question. The colonel
declared that Mr.. Edmunds' attitude
was the same as that of President
Taft and every great crooked corpor-
alton in Wall street and outside of
Wall street"
The colonel continued, Senator Ed
munds is in thorough accord with Mr.
Rockefeller and the American tobacco
trust people. He takes precisely their
views. They are even better content
ed with the method of enforcement of
the antitrust law, of which he ap-
proves, than he is himself | do not
| wonder that Senator Edmunds and Mr.
Rockefeller and the tobacco trust peo-
pie feel that all that is necessary is
to continue without change the pres
ent Sherman law.
Senator Edmunds has given good
expression to the view which is held
with heated zeal by every great crook
ed corporation in Wall street and out
side of it. To say that the result of
the enforcement of the antitrust law
against the Standard Oil and the To.
bacco trusts represents anything even
moderately satisfactory in the direc.
| ton of solving the trust question is
too preposterous to discuss
"One of the most significant feat.
ures of the present situation is the
way in which all the big trusts, all
the corporation lawyers representing
great trusts, and every public man
now representing or has represented
the cause of reaction and privilege in
public life rushes to the defense OF
the Administrations methods of in
forcing the antitrust law and admir-.
ingly approve the position held by Mr.
Taft, Mr.. Edmunds, Mr.. Rockefeller
and all other trust magnates and trust
! lawyers, that no further legislation is
needed"

a Hard Face.

Bobby's papa, who is a naval Off
Ger, took him to call upon the family
cf a brother officer who had just re-
turned from a cruise to the tropics.
Among the treasures exhibited was
a large red and blue parrot, whose ap-
pearance and conversational powers
proved most fascinating to the little
boy. While the grownups were en-
gagged in talking over old times Bob
by, left to his own devices, drew near
er to the parrots cage, bent on max
ing friends.
Presently there was a sQuawk from
the parrot and a little frightened cry
from Bobby, who ran to his father,
exhibiting a bleeding forefnger.
The little man was brave, though,
as befitted the son of a sailor. He
brushed away his tears and said:
Gee, papa, but that bird has hard
face!"-Hsrper's Magazine.

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO CHARLES LAOD
Resolutions Praising Late
Prosecutor Adopted by
Wayne County Bar.

At meeting of the Wayne County
Bar association this morning resolu-
tions were adopted in respect to the
memory Of the late Charles n. Ladd,
prosecuting attorney, who died Tues
day evening at his home after short
illness. Nearly every member of the
bar was present and various members
spoke in praise of Mr.. Ladd.
The funeral of Mr.. Ladd. was held
this afternoon from the home. The
remains were taken to Centerville for
burial The Circuit court and all the
county Offices were closed this after
noon out of respect to Mr.. Ladd.
After giving a short sketch of the
read as follows:
THE suddenness with which he was
stricken down has been a great shock
to his many friends. While he had
not been feeling we'll for several
weeks, yet he was confined to his
home only several days prior to his
death, which resulted from typhoid
pneumonia. He had been very
Jealous and active in attending to the
duties of his office and was unwilling
to lay down his duties for the sake Of
the man. He was a tireless worker
and during the time he was in office
as prosecuting attorney, disposed of
more than the average number of mat
ters pertaining to the Office Of prose
cutor in this county. He was unusual
1y efficient in handling details of his
Office and showed in all his duties a
remarkable fund Of common sense.
He was uniformly kind and respected
by all and his good humor and kind
ness attracted all with whom he came
in contact AS a result he had many
friends not only among the members
Of the bar, but in all walks of life.
In his makeup there was no malice,
jealousy, or envy. He rejoiced in the
success Of his friends and was ever
ready to help any who came to him.
He was sympathetic and generous to
a fault and for these virtues and many
others, will be long remembered by
the members of the Bar and his many
friends.
Be 1t Therefore Resolved, That we
extend to the bereaved wife and his
brothers and sisters the sympathy
which we this day feel for them,
trusting that time and a just Provi-
dence will bind up the wounds caused
by his death.
Respectfully submitted.
