1t hardly seems credible that a
town the size of Honesdale, with
its beauty and a place of recognized
healthfulness, would allow an open
sewer to run into the basement of
one of its churches. We ask the
question, Is the Board of Health or
ganized? Will they longer permit
this cesspool slime to ooze out and
endanger the lives of hundreds of
people who daily attend this church?
The Board of Health have it in their
power to close this cesspool, which
would be the proper step to take.
The affair is disgusting and
should be given immediate atten-
ton.

Let's get down to the bottom OF

ton of the electric wiring in our

and see if possible defective wiring
is the reason for mysterious fires. II
not, no harm will have been done

our properties will be free from

The difference between the coal
operators and the miners having been
successfully adjusted attention is
now being directed to the differen-
ces between the operators and the
consumers. 1t will be remembered
that with the first sign of trouble,
coal advanced in price in some sec
tions instead of coming down, and
the ordinary reduction during April
and May of so and 40 cents a ton
was not only wiped out but a high
er price was demanded. There was
no apparent justification for this
action, because it has been proved
that there was plenty of coal and
that there is still plenty of it al
ready mined. Notwithstanding
however, there is now talk of with
holding the usual discount of &c
cents ton that is allowed for the
month of June. 1t begins to ap,
pear that they welcome signs of q
strike in order to have an excuse
for boosting the price of their pro
duct. The miners get an increase
of five and one-half per cent. The
average value of coal at the mines
is $1.90 a ton. The miners in
crease will add three cents to eacf
ton. 1t may be a trifle more OF
less. The companies during the
month of June propose to make the
consumer pay ten times the cos
of the increase that has been wor
by the miners.

Albany. N. Y, May 22.-According
to the annual report of the state in
surance department, the fire losses
in this country and Canada for 1910
and 1911 were excessive when com
pared with the year 1903. The
losses for 1911 are said to have been
more than 1884, 100000. This
roughly speaking, based on popula-
ton, would make a per capita loss OF
between 81 and SO, as against an es-
timated per capita loss in Europe OF

It is the Far West to which Mr. Roose-

land Of the chinook and the bronco buster
he knows that he is popular. but he Will
experience some difficulty in convincing the
astute politician that he IS. For instance,
Oregon gave him more votes than II dld
Mr. Taft II was "a wonderful victory in

trouble with Mr. Roosevelt Is that there
are not enough of them. His supporters go
10 the primaries and vote for him, but IN
no instance have they numbered half the
Hepuhllcans of the state. This was true In
PENNSYLVANIA and in Illinois, just as 1t was
true in Massachusetts, where less than
5000 Of the $4,000 voters went TO the pri-
r1aries and expressed a preference for Mr.
Roosevelt, and just as it was true in Ne"

total Republican vote of Maryland in 1873
was 1853. And, in the estimation or those
conpeten to Judge, when Mr. Roosevelt
had secured these 50, co0 votes, he had shot
his bolt" The other 5000 Republican voters
refused TO become enthusiastic over the
coloners oratorv. They did rot vote for
him this month, and they would not vote
for him in November. OF course, II IS
argued by the Roosevelt supporters thSI
thev Gid not vote for Mr.. Taft. AZ least
that only small percentage OF them do

Mrs Brown, president Of the City Fedora
ton OF women's Clubs, as were many other
officers.
Mrs. Hooke explained that the league was
a young organization, but It was lighting
shoulder to shoulder with all the other or
ganizations that have "A pure milk supply
as an aim and ambition.
Mrs. Ralph Troutman, president of the
Womens Health Protective Association,
had something TO say about the city's milk
supply when her organization was as young
in its work as the league Is. She said that
cows We're stabbed In the city then and
that cleanliness was conspicuous By its alb
sence In most places where cows were kept.
1t requires vigilance to keep up the
standard OF the milk supply" said Mrs.
Troutman. The dairyman and the dealer
get lax every time they have an oppor-
tun!ty, not because they want to do SO but
because they slump back into old ways"
There were stereopticcn views OF the
handling Of milk and an explanatory talk
by Mr., Kirk The menace Of flies was con-
sidsred at length There was music he
tween the addresses,
