THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS

The price of Mr. Munsey's Boston
journal has been increased from one
cent to three. Mr.. Munsey frankly
admits that he has been losing mon
ey at the lower rate. The New York
Evening Post regards this decision
as but one of the signs in the Jour-
nalistic heavens that the one-cent
newspaper has been overdone. All
the Bridgeport papers recently in
creased their price from one to two
cents. An influential western paper,
the Kansas City Star, increased it's
price so per cent on January 1st.
Not long ago the confident talk was
that all newspapers would find them
selves forced to go at one cent. But
it is the one-cent newspapers that are
bing forced to go back to two or
three. The hard business facts, the
rising cost of production, and the
need of living on something besides
sensation, have been too much for
rash journalistic theorists. 1t is
probable that newspapers abandon
ing the one-cent price will hereafter
be more numerous than those adopt
ing it.
good many newspapers which
fixed their subscription price original
ly at $500 year have never reduc-
ed it-and probably are now con-
graduating themselves on their
nerve and wisdom.

HARRISBURG LETTER

The new Ehrhardt county asses
sors bill, badly mangled and hardly
recognized, as compared with the
original, passed second reading in
the house. 1t was amended so that
in its present form, if enacted, it
would apply only to Lackawanna
county. 1t was also amended so that
the commissioners can appoint only
seven assessors, except in triennial
years, when five others are to be ap-
pointed. Originally, the bill called
for the appointment of twelve. 1t
also made it apply to Schuylkill and
Westmoreland counties, for it pro-
vided that it should affect counties
having population of not less than
100000 nor more than 325,000.
Schuylkill has 100000 and West
moreland, $4,000.
Lackawanna has 1000, so the
bill was amended to read mot less
than 250,000 nor more than $685.

and Westmoreland counties was re-

JUSTICE DONE TO HAWTHORNE
AND MORTON.

Any other result than the conyic-
tion of the defendants Freeman,
Morton and Hawthorne in the notori-
Gus Canadian mining case would
have been a perversion of Justice.
There can be no doubt that the son
of Americas beloved author and the
son of the discoverer of the anesthe-
tic properties of ether passed through
a painful ordeal in the long drawn
out trial, but suspension of sentence
in their cases would have been an
affront to the law. Public opinion
would have been outraged.
The penal part of a statute is for
wrongdoing men who bear honored
and historic names as well as for the
obscure man who transgresses.
If Julian Hawthorne and DR.. Will
liam ], Morton have suffered ignom-
my, the investors in their disreput-
able enterprise were swindled and
despoiled, and they too have suffer-
ed. No sentiment and very little
pity would go out to the defendants
if the hereditary appeal could not be
made for them. 1t does not mitigate,
1T aggravates their offence. There
is difference between sentiment and
sentimentality.
The court knows the facts in the
case" said District Attorney Wise
when he declined to join in the ap-
plication of the defendants lawyers
for suspension of sentence. The evil
dence in the case was presented with
such fulness and so fairly that the
public also knows the facts. 1t be-
lieves that the verdict rendered re-
luctantly by the jury was just.-New
York Sun.

THE FACTORY BEAUTIFUL.

How John Ruskin would rejoice at
the news from Chicago that the
United States Steel Corporation was
going to try to turn it's plants into
Spotless Towns! His was a voice
crying in the wilderness over the way
modern industry had befouled the
streams of England, obscured the sky
and converted green fields into noun
tains of rubbish.
Now comes the steel company
proposing to abolish the grimy work
shop, even for one of the most grimy
OF industries; to clear up all the dirt
and refuse about the plants, to re-
duce the smoke as far as may be,
and defy dirt, not by concealment,
but by white paint, which puts neat
ness on its mettle. And it does this,
not in the name of art and beauty,
but in practical efficiency and safety.
Therein is the hope of making the
manufacturing town less often than
1T is a detilement of the earth. The
ash-strewn mill yard, the dirt-stained
factory walls, the sewage-laden
stream, the refuse-piled vacant lots
among tumbledown laborers' cot
tages are an economic crime. They
mean waste, unintelligence, slovenly
work, depression and consequent bad
habits among the workmen, which
in the end the industry pays for.
Quick dividends may come out of
dirt and disorder, but at the cost of
human character, and no industry is
on a sound moral or even business
basis which does not make for the
happiness and advancing civilization
of those whose lives it puts into its
products.
The CRIME of industry is nine
tenths merely tradition of slovenli-
ness, tolerated through ignorance.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Harrisburg, March 20.-Suffrage
matters again held the center of the
stage in the Legislature this week,
dividing attention only with the sew
eral bills before the Legislature pro-
posing to create a public utilities
commission.
Senator Francis S. McIlhenny,
chairman Of the Senate committee on
Judiciary General, said in an inter-
view at Harrisburg last week that
he believes the Rockwell resolution
will be passed by the Senate. Such
an attitude on the part of Senator
McIlhenny is a complete change
from his attitude of as recently as
one month ago when he was suspect
ed by suffragists, apparently with
justification, of being so opposed to
equal suffrage that he was danger
ously near the line of unfairness in
treating the Rockwell resolution.
Senator McIlhenny says that the
demonstration at Washington, D. c.,
on March 3rd has had a great in
1uence. The rowdy tactics of
spectators during the suffrage par
ade in Washington" said Senator
McIlhenny, " directed the attention
of many people to the equal suffrage
movement who had not regarded it
seriously before. The demonstra-
ton seems to have had the effect of
convincing many opponents of suf-
frage for women of the justice of the
demand" Senator McIlhenny was
asked if the Senate Judiciary Cen
eral Committee would report the
Rockwell resolution favorably. 81

The Pennsylvania Suffrage News,
the monthly official organ of the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage AS
sociation, completed it's first volume
of twelve numbers with the March
issue, which has been mailed to sub
scribers. At the same time it has
been discontinued. Owing to the
altered condition of the Suffrage
movement, the State Executive Com
mittee at it's monthly meeting in
Harrisburg on March 9Th decided
that the expenditure of time and
money upon the Pennsylvania Suf-
rage News could be used to better ad-
vantage in other directions in it's
campaign, and it has, therefore, dis
Will W
all the friends who have helped it.
The National House of Represen-
tatives has recently appointed Rich
ard Pierson Habson, Samuel j. Trib-
BILE and Stephen j. Porter members
of committee to investigate and re-
port on the question of the advisa-
bility of action by Congress to eX-
tend the suffrage to women. This is
the first time such a committee has
been appointed by Congress.
The Congressional Committee of
the National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation has announced that it con-
siders the Washington suffrage par
ade as merely the beginning of it's
campaign for an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States en-
franchising the women of all states.
The Committee will maintain per-
manent headquarters in Washington.
1t is already lining up members of
both Houses in favor of the amend
ment. That the lack of police pro-
lection afforded during the suffrage
parade has greatly helped the cause

! To-day, Tuesday, March 25th, is
the birthday of Rev. John B. Sumner
who for five years while presiding eld
er of the Honesdale district of the
Wyoming conference, was a resident
of Honesdale. He still has a number
of lovable friends who with the Citi-
zen extend heartiest congratulations
to the reverend gentlemen.
Stroller" in Mondays Scranton
Tribune-Republican, paid Rev. j. B.
Sumner the following compliment
tary notice:
Thousands of readers of the
Methodist faith in Scranton and vi
cinity, l am sure, will be interested
in the birthday celebration of Rev.
j. B. Sumner of Binghamton, who
will be seventy-five years old on
March 25. While an earnest and elo-
quent pulpit orator, Rev. John B.
Sumner has probably been best
known in the Wyoming conference
through his efforts as a writer of re-
l1gious songs and his talents as a
vocalist Mr.. Summers musical ca
reer began during his boyhood days.
And it has been kept up through his
years of service as a minister of the
gospel. Probably the most popular
of his many contributions to sacred
song is the hymn: I'm the Child of
a King" This song was written in
the days of the early triumphs of the
celebrated Wyoming Conference trio
The trio composed of Mr.. Sumner,
the late Rev. w. B. Westlake, and
Rev. j. G. Leacock, now of Scran-
ton, led the music at every confer
ence for many years. Their services
were often in demand elsewhere,
and they were frequently heard in
church concerts whenever these en-
tertainments could be arranged in a
way that would not interfere with
their regular work. The death of
Rev. w. B. Westlake, the tenor of the
trio, appears to have broken I'D the
organization that in the past furnish
ed so much inspiration for lovers of
song at the conference meetings and
other gatherings of Importance to
the Methodists. No one seems to
have been able to take the place of
the member whose sweet voice
blended so harmoniously with those
of his brothers in the days when the
Wyoming conference trio was one of
the most celebrated organizations of
this region. 1t is likely that thous-
ands in Northern Pennsylvania and
Southern New York will join in the
wish that this devout man, who has
spent nearly half century in the
work of disseminating the gospel,
may celebrate many more birthdays
and that the sunset of his life may be
traught with peace and happiness"

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Religion is my Invisible shield
against moral evil, against the cor
ruption of the mind, against the de-
Element of the soul. AS there are
specifics for the preserving of the
cleanliness of the body, so is religion
for the preservation of the mind; and
it protects the intelligence from be-
ing incrusted with layer upon layer
of sin. Religion is an invaluable
curb on that inner nature of man
which longest remains barbarious
and uncivilized.-Henry Morton
Stanley.

BOOSTING ISN'T A ONE.MAN JOB

1t appears to be considerably the
duty of newspapers to boost and
keep on boosting for the town and
its business men, it's institutions
schools, churches, theatres and Sc
| forth.
| But how often do the residents of
a town or community let themselves
be heard boosting for the local pa
per? A local paper should boost for
its town and it's business men. 1t is
its editors duty, because the paper
derives at least seventy-five per cent.
of its support from home people of
which it is part. 1t is the duty of
every man, woman and child within
the city limits to stand stalwart, for
their town and say good word and
do a good act whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself and in this a
newspaper should ever be found in
the front ranks with such a band of
town boosters, AS has been said a
newspaper gets much Of it's support
from the town and the community
and thus in return owes it's support
to the town, but what can be said of
the printer may be said of the grocer,
the butcher, the clothier, the res
taurateur, the dry goods man, the
tailor, the miller and any other who
n ND - L
OF gratitude to your fellow merchant
for being here, for what would the
place amount to with only one busi-
ness house? What would there be
here to attract people and induce
them to build comfortable homes, to
pay taxes for town improvements,
ETC.? On the other hand, people from
the country realize that the town is
a great boon to them and adds
greatly to the price of their products
and to the land on which the product
has grown, whether their stock is
consumed here or shipped to other
places.
The merchant has much of his
stock shipped in, yet large portion
of his trade is in that which he has
purchased at home from the farmer
or the villager, thus deriving the pa
tronage of everyone. The farmer
gives his patronage to the merchant
and the merchant to the farmer.
Each is enabled to make profit and
all is serene.
Yet there are merchants who will
not patronize each other, who will
send away for their printing, hard
ware, groceries, furniture, harness,
drugs, etc. Some even use safety
razors rather than patronize the bar
Der, will walk or go by train rather
than give the local liveryman his fee
and will ship in potatoes, cabbages,
onions, apples, ETC., rather than buy
from the local gardens and farmers
This is not all, though, for the mer-
chant complains that the farmer
buys goods in some large city and
will not spend the cash he has earn
ed here with local people. It's a
sad condition of affairs with a cure
hard to find. One merchant states
that the trouble is an easy one to
overcome if all will unite in deter
mined effort to make the country
ideal; cooperate in good roads and
ever boost and work for one another.
Let us one and all make it a resolve
to help our neighbor, advertise our
country, boost our town, build new
roads, and in fact cooperate in every
manner possible.-Wellsboro Advo-
cate.
