Remarkable Popular isnoranss.

Some one has remarked that AZ
the height Of Napolson's fame there
were men In the back alleys OF Paris
who had never heard his name. This
Illustration Of popular ignorance was
recalled by a Judge who was examin-
ing candidates for citizenship in New
York city recently. He asked one OF
these prospective citizens, who is
the head OF your native country"
The king" Who becomes the head
when he dies?" His SON. And
who Is the head Of this country -
The president" And who would
become the lad If he diedr" His
SON." And yet, as the Judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their daily bread--ths rest Is

have possessed, and have no
thought beyond that which will
suffice for their immediate
needs. Even with the incentive
of good wages they will not stick
at work. Mr.. Carpenter refers
TO this characteristic in his last
letter. but does not appear to at
tach any significance to it. He
saws that among the skilled la
borers-the more ambitious OF
the working class-as a rule the
higher wages the less the num-
Der of days Of work done. The
man who gets 81 per day will
work only two or three days a
week. and if he gets 81 day he
NAV work for awhile and then
lay off Z month. The letter
cites an instance that recently
came under its authors obser-
walton. An American contrac-
tor who has been putting up
houses all over Mexico found
hat six Of his men were doing
50 we'll that ne could raise their
wages. They were receiving 81
day and he gave $50 The
result was that he got only three
days work the next week, and he
finally had to discharge the
whole gang and bring in men at
the old rate of wages.
Another thing that accentu-
ates the distressful conditions
of the unhappy republic and in
tensifes the difficulties of intel
ligent Mexicans who are endea-
voring to bring about a reform
in the industrial situation is
the mental apathy resulting
from the ignorance Of the mass
es. Statistics show that in Mex
leo there are about 100000
people. Of these, 100000 are
pure-blooded Indians. There are
several millions of mixed breed,
and several hundred thousands
of whites, or people Of pure
Spanish stock. Of the Indians
there are nearly 100000 who
can neither read nor write, or
whose education has been Of the
most limited character. A sys-
tenn of compulsory education ex-
lists. but it is practically ignored
by the very classes for whose
benefit it was intended.
In view of these conditions is
there cause for wonder that Mex
leo presents an almost constant
scene of disorder and bloodshed?
What will remove the horrl-
BILE condition under which Mex
leo labors? The answer will be,
only the moral uplift of the pop
ulation. But can this moral up
lift be accomplished by Mexico S
people alone? We do not believe
it can. The plan suggested by
Mr.. Carpenter-increase of the
wages Of the working classes
would in itself avail but little in
in the work of regeneration, ow-
ing to the innate lethargy and
indifference of the masses. Ed
ucation might do much, but the
masses refuse to be educated.
A solution of the question might
be found in the absorption of
the country by the United States
or some other vigorous-blooded
nation. but that presents posi-
bilities too serious for considera-
tion.-Fort Smith Times-Re-

The HOpelessness Of The MeXi-
can Mess.

Frank G.. Carpenter, the not
ed newspaper writer, in one Of
his recent letters, attributes to
insutficiency of remuneration Of
the working classes of Mexico
> the wretched condition of that
country and declares that Mexico
will never have peace until the
poems are paid living wages.
Statistics submitted by Mr.
Carpenter, obtained from the
secretary of agriculture, show
that, as a rule, the daily wages
Of farm laborers in that country
is from 20 to 25 cents per day.
This, however, is not an aver
age for in localities remote
from the cities wages are not
half that amount. And the
wages of skilled laborers do not
seem to be much greater. Thou
sands of these laborers in the
factories are being paid less
than $1.00 per day, in some
of the mills the minimum wage
being as low as 10 cents per

WALSH--BEURKET.

On Tuesday morning at 1880
O'Clock Miss Margaret Walsh be-

The bride was attired in white
charmeuse with cream over lace and
wore a white hat. The bridesmaid
wore a pink dress with hat to match.
The young couple left on the
1925 Delaware & Hudson train for
a several days trip after which they
will return to Honesdale to reside on
the Fred Saunders farm at East

BASE BALL NEWS.

Next Saturday the big game of the
year will be pulled off at Hawley,
when the deciding game for the
championship of Wayne county will
be played between Hawley and
Honesdale.
The locals have very big job on
their hands to trim the Hawley team
under the probable circumstances,
as they will no doubt go up against
the strongest team that ever repre-
sented our neighboring town, in ad-
dition to playing on an unknown and
unfriendly field. While we are of
course expecting to win, we realize
under the conditions that if the boys
give the Hawley people a good game
exhibition, it is all that we can ask,
and then if they SHOULD win!
Labor Day will be another big day
for the local fans, when we shall
again be privileged to see the fast
Crescent team of Scranton play in
two engagements. Each team has
won one game this year and both are
looking for a double victory on Mon
day, as such a victory means the
winning of $50 pot.

WILSON WARNS AMERICANS
TO LEAVE MEXICO

Washington, Aug. 27.-Another
turn in the Mexican situation late
tonight when Secretary Of State
Bryan announced he had received
from John Lind, the Presidents S
special envoy, a summary of Huerta' s
last note to this government. AS a
result of this communication Mr.
Bryan characterized the situation as
encouraging"
This statement by Mr.. Bryan was
regarded as significant. Up to this
time he had refused to commit him
self on the Mexican situation beyond
saying that it was unchanged. The
fact that he was willing to announce
that it was encouraging" led to the
belief that Huerta has given some
substantial ground for hope.
Mr.. Bryan declined to indicate in
any way whether Huerta had made
concessions or what was the basis OF
his encouragement.
The note, a summary of which was
communicated to Mr.. Bryan, was
sent by special courier to Mr.. Lind al
Vera Cruz by President Huerta last
night. President Wilson had waited
anxiously for some word in regard
to this note but when it failed tc
reach here by l o'clock in the after
noon he felt he could no longer post
pone his address to Congress.
At the same time the American
Empassy and all consular represen-
tatives throughout the Southern Re
public were instructed "to notify al
officials, civil and military, in Mex
ico'' that they would be held strictly
responsible for harm or injury done
to Americans or their property.

1t had been generally supposed
that the Democrats would endorse

MISSING GLEN EYRE
MAN A SUICIDE ?
SUICIDE TALK FLYING OVER
WIRES CONCERNING DISAP-
PEARANCE OF NJ. BLAUVILLE.

Ran Into Woods With His Child
Following Family Trouble. Had
Not Been Living With Wife For
Some Time.
Driven to desperation over family
troubles, Milton Blauville, a young
man of Glen Eyre, Pike county, ran
off into the woods on Tuesday night
with his young child and has not
been heard from since. 1t was at
first thought that he had committed
suicide but as young Blauville bears
good reputation in that neighbor-
hood the suicide theory is disproved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blauville, who live
near Glen Eyre, have not been living
together for some time. Mrs. Blau-
Vile has been making her home with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacoby,
who live a short distance from the
B'auville home. The cause of the
breach in their domestic relations, is
said to have been caused by the
woman's parents.
On Tuesday night Blauville heard
that his wife was to leave for New
York on the next day with the child.
He went to the Jacoby home to see
her and the babe. He was given the
child to hold and as soon as he Sc
cured the child he ran into the
woods. Mrs. Blauville said that she
had heard shots Immediately after
and a search was made. No trace
of the man or the child could be
found. Friends of the young man
think that he left for New York
with his own child rather than have
it in the care of his wife's parents,

CHILDREN TURN OUT
TO HEAR JUDGE LINDSEY
SPOKE TO JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUA
FROM COURT HOUSE STEPS
TUESDAY MORNING.

He Tells of the Work Done in Dem
yer For the Good of the Children
How the Juvenile Court Move
ment Has Grown.
A large crowd greeted Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, of Denver, Colorado, on
his arrival in Honesdale Tuesday
morning via automobile. The party
arrived here about ten-fifteen o'clock
and Judge Lindsey registered at the
Allen House. He was then escorted
to the Court House where the large
crowd awaited him. The Junior
Chautauqua under the direction of
Miss Foster gathered at the foot of
the steps leading into the building.
The crowd scattered over the lawn in
front of the court house expectantly
as Juvenile Court Judge of Denver
arose to speak. On the steps back
of the speaker were DR.. Turner of
the Chautauqua Association, and sew
eral members of the local committee
Judge Lindsey spoke mainly to the
children whom he told of the many
things the city of Denver had done
for the children. He told how he
had upheld boys that were brought
before him for swimming in the pub
lie fountains. He said that as long
as the city did not furnish public
bathing places for the boys he
would not punish any of them. The
result was that public bathing places
were built for the children of that
city.
For many years Judge Lindsey has
fought the gang and political crooks
of Colorado single handed. Last
spring when he was candidate fol
reelection he was elected by ma
jority of $4,000. This fall he was
elected by a majority of $4,000.
Judge Lindsey told of the neces
sity of having public baths, play
grounds, Boy Scout clubs and vari
GUS other forms of amusement fol
! the children, so as to afford then
the proper kind of amusement. This
he said, would be an added step il
the right direction, as it would tent
to the development of more healthfu
and bright young citizens.
We give the children justice ou

we know that they are not wholly Il
