GENEROUS AND WISE.

n L. GREEN told the members of the State Hospital
~. association which held its annual meeting this city
Monday, that it cost the Consolidation Coal COM
pany about 5000 to establish and maintain the emer
gency hospital at Traction Park Not great sum to a
rich coal corporation but at the time very convincing
bit of evidence that the Consolidation heart is in the right
place. All stricken babies looked alike to people placed in
charge Of the hospital and the children of people who were
not in the employ of the company were given the same treat
ment and attention that called company cases got.
Much more important than the money outlay. although
that important enough when is remembered that it wa.
just that much money saved to the taxpayers was the ceer-
ty with which the company acted But for the pronpnes.
with which action obtained it is very probable that the
outbreak would have been far worse than proved to be-
AS said at the time the announcement was made tina,
the hospital TO be opened the Consolidation is entitled
to the heartfelt gratitude of the whole county.

SUNDAY KNITTING.

yYZHETHER the people of Scranton, the premier town
w of the Pennsylvania hard coal REGION are taking the
war too seriously not seriously enough, might
prove attractive topic for debating societies during the
coming winter. The facts are these:
Some meiculous individual conceived the idea that the
women of the city VIII knitted for the soldiers on Sundays
as well as upon the other days of the week were mper
ing their immortal souls That is natural enough People
of that type But it seems that when the
doubts communicated to others controversy arose
which became general that it finally was referred to the
pastor, of the churches.
That merely made the matter worse. At least one of
the gentlemen of the cloth decided that there is no vital
necessity for such work Others stood pat and denounced
all Sunday work. while yet another set decided that there
is nothing wrong with Sunday knitting provided does not
interfere with church work.
And there you are. If the matter is to be permitted to
hinge the question of necessity Scranton knitting needles
will cnk just rapidly Sunday on any other day.
Winter is coming apace and if making provision against
its rso is not vital necessity right there is no such
thing in the philosophy of the American people. Knit
while you can and let your conscience rest easy.
