DEAD CAT IN HER WELL!

A correspondent of The Citizen
gave particulars in a budget of news
this week of an act in certain neigh
borhood that should subject the
knowing" ones to severe punish
ment at the hands Of the law.
The body of dead cat was fished
out of a we'll where it had been ly-
ing for four weeks. The correspond
ent says that the fact that the cat
was in the we'll was known to some of
the neighbors who were cautioned
not to drink of the water.
The owner of the we'll, a woman,
was not warned of the condition of
her we'll until the action of nature
could conceal its presence no longer.
She is now sick, and most naturally
believes that her sickness is caused
by drinking and using the water.
The Citizen does not know any of
the parties of the neighborhood, but
unhesitatingly says that anybody so
heartless and cruel as to perpetrate
or cover up such a piece of malicious
ness should have meted out to them
a punishment in every way commen-
surate to the act. We do not know
the woman who owns the we'll: she
may be an unpleasant neighbor; she
may have shortcomings and even
vices; we care not what her charac-
ter may be, but we insist that nothing
she may have done or may be doing
or saying will justify her neighbors
in allowing her we'll to be poisoned,
or to remain in poisonous condition
withut warning her of it.
There is legal maxim that "it is
a crime to conceal a crime" and in
the light of that maxim, how about
the guilt of those who were warned
not to drink the water and who con-
cealed the matter from the unfor-
unate owner of the we'll?
Surely, there is a Judgment day
coming, and who shall stand in the
judgment?"

charge and a justice of the peace
at Simpson fined him SIS on false
charge. He was obliged to go to
Jail, being without the money and
was taken in charge by a constable
to be locked up in the Jail at Car
bondale.
The warden was later found bad
ly beaten up, with three ribs broken
and cut and bruised as if an iron
club had been used.
The friends of the game warden
are going to push the matter and it
is likely that Doctor Penrose, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania State Game
Commission at Harrisburg will take
official action. The question all
true lovers of the sport want decided
is will the State Game Commis-
sion stand behind its wardens and
protect them in their duty?"

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST LOCO
MOTIVE.

To-day, August 8, is the S4th
anniversary of the running of the
first locomotive on the American
continent, the "Stourbridge Lion"
The historical event occurred in
Honesdale on the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad. The public at large is
not aware of this fact. When visit
ors come to Honesdale they are sur
prised to learn that the first locomo-
tive that ever ran by steam in
America made its initial trip here,
This is a distinction that Honesdale
cannot be deprived of and it is one
of the national historical events
which ought to be in the text books
of our schools.

GAME WARDENS AND THE COM.
MISSION,

There will perhaps always be more
or less unlawful fishing and hunting
in the State but unless the State
Game Commission comes out and
stands behind their wardens it will
undoubtedly be more instead of less.
The game wardens are selected for
a purpose and are duty bound to up
hold the law and punish all Offend
ers. They have the right to con-
fiscate fish that are caught under
legal size or game killed out of sea-
son. Also to arrest the offenders
and bring them before a Justice of
the Peace. A recent occurrence in
Carbondale township brings this
foreibly to mind and to the immedi-
ate conclusion that the recently
formed body of United Sportsmen
of Pennsylvania should act at once
through the organization, for the
protection of the sport in the state.
Deputy Game Warden Carl Gotzel
of No. 8, Carbondale township, re-
Gently confiscated several strings of
Illegally caught fish and placed them
in cellar. The next morning when
he went for the fish they were gone.
The evidence was thus taken away
but the men fearing arrest hauled
the warden up before a justice of
the peace on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons. The warden
was fined $6.15. Not satisfied with
that the fish stealing law breakers
went after the warden on another

WAYNE COUNTY NEEDS HOSPI-
TAI.

Every week Wayne county fur
nishes evidence that a surgical hos
pital should be located at Homes
dale without delay. Last Sunday
morning Chris. Kittner, of White
Mills, was taken to Scranton hos
pital. On Wednesday nights Erie
train Richard Walsh, of North
Cherry Ridge, was also removed to a
hospital in that city; and so it goes
every week.
No expensive building is needed,
and a start might be made on basis
that would not incur the outlay of
much money.
On Wednesday night as the writ
er gazed into the suffering face of
poor Dick Walsh, the farmer from
Cherry Ridge or Canaan, the man
who expected to be home in time
to do his chores, but who found
that instead of going home he must
first endure the torture of an en-
IOiSSu Adiil Odu lluO " oSi dhIoh, anu
then to realize that he was to be
confined for days and perhaps weeks
among strangers, Honesdale and
Wayne County's duty became very
manifest.
With a hospital in Honesdale, not
only would Dick Walsh have re-
ceived immediate assistance, but the
at-home-and-among- friends feeling
would have tended to relieve his
mind of the stress and strain that
his removal to Scranton quite natur-
ally produced, augmented as it was
by the several hours wait.
Let's get down to sensible and
practical lines. Let's get a modest
building, or suite of suitable
rooms. Let's notify DR.. Gibbons
that we are ready to receive his do
nation of instruments and operating
chair, and let's get that hospital
started. There's some money in
bank to the hospital credit that can
be called on, and more can be raised.
Now, then, let's do it!

BOND ISSUE FOR ROADS.

Following the lead of the Philadel-
phia North American and other
Finn sympathizers, which have
numerous axes to grind, our bearer
of the Finn banner frequently gives
as its reason for this anomalous
friendship for good roads, the fact
or rather the allegation-that the
bond issue instead of being intended
for the improvement of the high
ways is in reality destined to build
up machine through the agency of
the State Highway Department un-
der Governor Tener and Commits
sioner Bigelow.
This assertion comes with bad
grace from newspapers which have
been so cordial in their Endorsement
of the use of the Highway Depart
ment for the purposes of building up
a Washington Party or as the case
may be Democratic machine, And
in addition to its being in poor taste,
the charge is untruthful.
The Tener administration would
not have the spending of a dollar of
the proposed $5O,OOO,OO0 loan. If
the voters of the state were to au-
thorize this method of financing the
extensive plan for highway improve
ment, the fund would not become
available until June 1, 1915-after
the next session of the Legislature
had taken the necessary action.
The bond issue is the only fair
and practical method of financing
such an enterprise, which will cost
an enormous sum and which is as
vast an undertaking for the state as
the building of the biggest railroad
in America. No one ever heard of a
great railway being built on current
revenues and the work of road con-
struction now facing the Common
