SCRANTON, JANUARY 6, 1008. NEED OF A BETTER PEOPLE. In a talk before the teachers' institute at Carbondale, Dr. Silas S. Neff, president of Neff college, emphasized the thought that the great need of bur present day world is a better quality of people.

It was his idea, and there are few who will care to dispute it, that the world Is what people make it. Society, business and politics simply show the fruits of the minds of the people. In other words, a high grade, lofty minded, moral people of splendid ideals will produce a much better world than that in what we are moving. This is a beautiful thought, which it is well to Impress on the minds of school teachers. Today it is recognized that the teacher in our schools is performing a higher duty than merely instructing pupils in reading, writing and arithmetic.

The plant will grow in the way in which it is trained. The same remark generally holds good when applied to the. developing character of the young. It is important therefore that the teachers always work along the thought that they must do their best to make of their pupils great men and great women. "We live in a new age, as Dr.

Neff says, many of our ideas are new, all of them are of necessity modern. We live in an honest, a Democratic age, when the great things of earth are venerated, when probity, piety and morality, as well as great learning and high courage are universally esteemed. It will therefore be seen that the teachers play a most important part in the making of our world, and Dr. Neff made no mistake in calling their attention to this in such manner as they will not soon forget. SENATOR FORAKER AROVSED.

Senator Foraker is exceedingly wroth as a result of the first presidential skirmish in Ohio, and like the big boy who did not like the manner in which things turned out, he threatens that he will not play unless certain concessions are granted him. In other words, he is not able to bear stinging defeat with dignity and patience and suggests that he may carry the matter into the legislature of the state. If he does, he might meet with another check. It is believed that a majority of the members of the Ohio legislature are exceedingly friendly to Senators Foraker and Dick, but it is doubtful if they will follow these men to the lengths desired, particularly when the issue concerns so distinguished an Ohioan as the secretary of war. There are probably a great many legislators in the state who have by this time read the handwriting on the wall and reached the conclusion that Foraker is playing the role of the dog in the manger.

He cannot get the presidential nomination himself, so he is seeking to keep it away from another resident of the state who is strong with the people If such a conclusion once forces itself upon the minds of the people of Ohio it will be useless for Foraker to attempt to stem the tide that will set in for the secretary of war. At this writing it looks very much as if Senator Foraker has seen the days of his greatest usefulness in Ohio. In the language of the race track, he is "in wrong," and will probably "queer himself before he is able to dig his way out." The Powers jury disagreed but it looks as if that fact is proof that there is some hope for the regeneration of Kentucky. The unanimity of the Powers Juries in the past is what caused so much trouble. None of the financiers In Congress has a more comprehensive monetary measure than that of the old Kansas greenbacker who introduced a bill la the Legislature providing for a currency that should be "more numerous and limberer." Perry, the colored thug, has expressed a wish to take advantage of the new law and plead guilty of his crimes without going before the grand jury.

If there is found to be no hope of convicting him of more serious crimes he will probably be permitted to have his own way. It will possibly not lessen the measure of his punishment but it will save great expense to the county. A GIFT WORTH WHILE. If the man who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before, is a benefactor to his race, surely the one who makes a city park grow where none grew before, deserves even a more expressive title. Such a benefactor to the town of his birth is Mr.

Martin Maloney. The spot which he has selected as a gift to the, city could not be more admirably located. Within three blocks of nearly a thousand persons who are connected with charitable or educational institutions, such a park will be a boon to those as well as to the large number of residents of that vicinity. Hitherto, when the children ad the Oral School, the Home for the Friendless, or St. Joseph's were to be taken on a picnic, it meant a more or less tiresome trip involving a great deal of effort and responsibility on the part of the management and attendants.

The pupils at Mount St. Mary's had no place for little excursions and outings and the same was true of others who belong in that part of the suburbs. To have a pretty park tastefully fitted up, near the Old Folks' Home, and to have it free for public use, will mean a great deal to that section. This 'proposed gift of Mr. Maloney's is along the line of a pet subject, that of a city beautiful.

He has spent much time and thought on the possibilities lying before American cities in the way of improvement aesthetically and deplores the apathy and procrastination which are noted among the citizens of most towns. Particularly does he feel that Scranton should be making more advancement in securing small parks, in planting trees, and in removing disfiguring objects from the vicinity of public streets. That his belief is not merely hypercritical in! its tendency is proven by the fact that he is willing to expend much money in giving an impetus to the project of beautifying the city. His interest should be appreciated. THROUGH EUROPE'S GLASSES.

Slight differences between the United States and Japan have assumed a magnitude when seen through Europe's glasses, that has occasioned considerable derision in America, and no wonder. The extent to which our relations with the Mikado's government have been misrepresented, was revealed by the Paris cablegram printed in The Sunday Republican, which shows that the hysterical and fanciful French not only expect that there will be war between Uncle Sam and the Japs but manifest a disposition to sympathize with the mikado. America has learned to place a just estimate on the many war scares conjured by the European writers on international topics, but it is different in Japan, where there has not been such a systematic study of the methods of newspapers in England and on the continent. The more enlightened subjects of the island kingdom must view with amazement translations of these French comments, which have found indications of sanguinary naval warfare between two powers, now dwelling together in greatest friendliness, each finding much to esteem and admire in' the other. "It must be admitted that Japan has done all in her power to correct the errors of the imaginative Europeans.

Officially and otherwise she has neglected no opportunity to proclaim her friendliness for this country and her disposition to adjust, by diplomatic measures, all the immigration questions that have arisen. Even so late as Saturday, in an interview at San Francisco, Viscount Aoki declared in positive terms that there could be no such thing at present as war between this country and Japan. This fs now so well understood here that the European dispatches cause no uneasiness, but do call forth laughter. No doubt France would benefit financially from a war carried on by this country and Japan. No doubt, also, the possible imperilling of this country's control of the Panama canal would be hailed with unsuppressed joy on the part of France, which has always been jealous of being superseded In that enterprise so unsuccessfully begun under its own auspices.

None of these reasons, however, would seem to be of sufficient magnitude for a friendly nation to be found so persistently voicing sentiments pointing to a war. Merely because the United States has been suffering financial stringency, making it, in European eyes, a more easy opponent, and because the Japanese have ielt. aggrieved on account of certain sentiments expressed with regard to control of the Pacific, as well as immigration problems, will not' be considered as causus belli on the part of the majority of sober thinking people. Neither can the cruise of the American fleet be construed into a defiant taunt to the Island kingdom. Europe must discover other more serious indications before Americans in gen THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN.

MONDAY. JANUARY 6, 1908. eral will begin to consider the prospect of whether or not the mikado's protestations of friendship ate taken as sincere. All Scranton is interested in Captain De Lacy's candidacy for department commander of the G. A.

R. It is gratifying to learn that he is receiving cordial endorcements from all sections of the state. Even if the local brewery workers go on strike in Scranton no man will be forced to go thirsty. Enough of the foreign product is coming to us to meet for a time the winter demands for the frothy beverage. Confessing is becoming a habit with the negro, Perry.

He has already confessed himself into the penitentiary and many are confident that he will keep it up until he finds himself in the shadow of the gallows. TOO MANY TRAMP DOGS. Dog catching is a noisome business at best, yet the dog catcher has accomplished a great deal of benefit to the residents of this city in freeing them from the ubiquitous cur, tagless and ownerless, which in many times past has infested the streets and the premises of householders. There has been some relaxation recently on the part of the official deg catcher, and already the effects are noticed. In the upper residence portion of the city especially there are msny tramp dogs which would be better off dead than shivering about the backdoors and gaining a precarious livelihood from kitchen scraps, and making themselves a nuisance both day and night with their barking and howling.

If the dog catcher would take a stroll at almost any hour he would find many of these unfortunate creatures, manifestly ownerless, prowling about the backyards. These stray dog3 are always a menace to a community. By reason of their homeless condition, exposed to more attacks from other animals than the one who is owned and cared for in a home, they are the victim of many wounds from their companions and therefore run a greater risk of being infected with disease of various sorts if not with rabies. They should be removed from contact with children and pedestrians and they cannot be disposed of with any too great alacrity. HOPEFUL SIGNS EVER WHERE.

On every hand may be seen hopeful signs for the business man. Most alluring promises are held out for the new year. The financial flurry having spent its force, there is no reason why industrial affairs should not follow the bent of the commercial world and resume their old time strenuous form. The United States, during the past few years, has been enjoying wonderful prosperity. It has astonished the world.

One little panic is not going to be permitted to take this country by the throat and choke out its ambition, its desire to surpass the marvelous achievements of the past. There is every reason why the business men of Scranton should look forward to a prosperous year, although we are on the. brink of a presidential contest. The telegraph tells us, as do the trade papers, that in every line, textiles, footwear, iron and steel mills and factories are all reopening and reengaging their help. An authority that has been giving the business slump much study declares that what Is about to take place, in fact, what Is taking place, Is a prompt revival of the normal, regular demand of a nation of eighty three million people.

This is certain to cause the wheels of industry to hum, to start merchants replenishing stocks and planning big things for the immediate future. In a country such as ours where there is such enormous natural resource to keep things moving, there is no excuse for a long continuance of business stagnation. This is particularly true of the coal regions where the demand for our principal commodity is always active now, it matters not how other parts of the country are oppressed with conditions that are beyond their control. Luzerne county has met with a real loss in the destruction by fire on Saturday of Hotel Rhoades at Harvey's Lake, which is said to be the oldest hostelry in that section of the state. It was a widely known summer resort stopping place that wltHin its history had sheltered many of the most distinguished men in Pennsylvania.

Uncle Sam's trouble over the school mlx up with the Japanese in San Francisco is as nothing compared with Great Britain's perplexity over the riots in Vancouver. After all an alliance with a race that is not Caucasian has its disadvantages. We had warm weather and people growled about an ice famine. Then came the cold spell and the clamorous ones were angry because they could see Ice everywhere. Senator Foraker is represented as dissatisfied with the recent political actions of his party in Ohio.

It was scarcely to be hoped that he would be elated. Grover Cleveland, who ought to know, has recently been quoted as saying that "the American ex president Is a melancholy product ot our government system." Dlptheria is prevalent in and about Willlamsport. Physicians ascribe it to the unfavorable weather conditions. It is Just possible that with judicious inquisition Perry the Thug, may be induced to admit that he is the long sought man who struck Billy Patterson. It is to the credit of the colored population of this city that they have expressed no sympathy with Perry nor have they, as far as known, made any offers of assistance.

As a rule the Afro Americans in Scranton are law abiding and self respecting and they are as much shocked and revolted by such deeds as are any of the white people. The fact that Perry is a negro has likewise caused no prejudice in this community against the race, such as might exist in many other places. The percentage of trouble given the police by the colored residents here is very small in comparison with what is suffered from other nationalities. Two men on 'a street car going to one of the suburbs of the city were chatting the other night and one asked his friend if he had a nice time. "Yes, a lovely time I had," said the other in tonen of the deepest irony.

"I never had such a lovely time in my life. Wait till you hear about it. "In the first place," he continued, "my1 wife wanted us to have her whole darned farnjly to dinner. My mother in law gave us a live turkey and I had to pay seventy five cents' freight on it. We kept it three or four weeks and I paid out a dollar and a half for feed, and I'll be darned if the day before Christmas it didn't up and die.

Then I had to go and pay out some more good moneys for another turkey and they soaked me a high price. "Then that night my wife wanted to take somebody else's kid down town to see the Elm Park Christmas tree, and I went under protest. A girl in front of me with a big hat kept bobbing up and down and. I tried to see both sides of her and dropped my glasses. Before I could pick them up a man sitting next to me put his foot on them and there Went $10.

I leaned forward and told that girl I wished she'd quit bobbing up and down so as 1 could soe and my wife gave me a dig in the ribs that made me mad, and we quarreled most of the way home. We haven't got the matter fixed up Oh, yes! I had a lovely Christmas!" ytmmemmte. "A Nigh On House Boat." Carrying a carload ot scenery and electric effects, "A Night On a House Boat," Jesse L. Lasky's latest and probably greatest production, will appear at the Pol! this week. This is one of the prettiest pictures ever presented in vaudeville.

The scene, a double decked house boat, gayly decorated, Is in Itself a novelty. The cast is a strong one, including O'Mal ley Jennings, the wellknown English comedian, and the Misses Shaw, the twin daughters of Alice Shaw, the famous whistler. The part of the lisping girl, played by Eleanor Kershaw, has been one of the vaudeville hits of the year, while Boyd Marshall as a college athlete, and Cal Dix as a college youth, are extremely clever. The whole cast in fact is an unusual one. One of tho prottioot duced is the Search Light song, in which a search light is operated from the upper deck of the t.oat, and thrown upon the young couples spooning on the lower deck.

Popular song hits are introduced and in fact all the elements of a spectaculai musical comedy, of the most modern type, are contained in "A Night On a House Boat." Another strong feature is the appearance of Grade Emmett and company in their new sketch, "Mrs. Murphy's Second Husband." This is a strong favorite In New York and Philadelphia, as it is the most truthful delineation of a wellknown Irish typo before the public. The other acts are: The Big City quarette; Semon, real old time singing and talking comedian; J. W. Wlnton, Australian ventriloquist; Elsie Faye, Elssett and Miller, premier dancers; Keeley brothers, physical culturlsts and a fresh series of pictures on the electrograph.

"Tama" to Ploy netnrn Date. Very few of the smaller cities, or what is known in theatrical parlance as one night stands, will be visited by Alfred E. Aaron's mw musical production, "Yama," as the entire original cast, chorus and orchestra of sixty people are retained, aiid the expenses of this organization are consequently too heavy for anything except long engagements in the principal cities to prove profitable. The Lyceum, however, has arranged for a special matinee performance Wednesday at popular prices. "The Great Divide." "The Great Divide" one of the biggest artistic and commercial successes New York has ever known, will be the attraction at the Lyceum Thursday.

This play of deep and vital passions and unique naturalism will be presented by Henry Miller with a cast selected and rehearsed by himself and a production that is an exact duplicate of the one used in New York the past two seasons. "The Card King the Coast." The wise theaterlcal producer Is the one who studies the likes and dislikes of the patrons of the theaters In which his attractions' play; then has his dramatist write a play combining all the points that please. This method was resorted to when Messrs. Vance and Sullivan engaged Mr. Lem B.

Parker to write for them "The Card King of the Coast," which opens at the Academy this afternoon for the first three days of this week. The Klondike offers excellent opportunities for picturesque scenic display, which has been taken full advantage of. Unique and interesting characters present themselves in endless numbers. "Huninn Hearts." At the Academy, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the domestic melodrama, "Human Hearts," will be presented by a. good company and with elaborate scenic environment.

Its pathos is said to be effective; its mirth irresistible, and Its dramatic situations strong and sterling. It will be presented faithfully both in its setting and in the action which will reveal with marked clearness and force, its very remarkable plot. Columbia Theater. For three days commencing with a matinee today, Jeann Brooks, with the "Parisian Widows Co." is billed at the Columbia theater as "The Girl with the Smile." "The Girl with the Cyclone Laugh" would be better. It is a treat to hear the Joyous, unrestrained laughter of this young If can get her to laugh in public he can paok the house.

There is nothing like it. It starts like the gurgle of many waters, rises into a crescendo like the coming of a typhoon and bursts like the explosive merriment from a thousand throats. At its height the volume is sufficient to make the noise from a boiler factory sound like the drone of a bee, though it is as full of music as a symphony orchestra at fortissimo, with loud pedals all on. Then it begins to diminish. There is a wail like the sizzling of a gale, ripping the shingles off a new barn, commingled with the whir and chirp of a thousand denizens of the air, and the ripple of many brooks.

As it seems about to die away into nothingness there is one more spasmodic cadence of sound, and the laugh ends in a great throb of melody that may be likened to the high note of all the great sopranos rolled into one.

ltlO An important and largely attended session of branch No. 45, Knights of St. George, was held yesterday afternoon in St. Mary's hall with nearly 200 members in attendance. It was the first meeting of the year and was marked by the installation of officers for the coming twelve months, as follows: Spiritual adviser, Rev.

Peter Christ; directors, Frank J. Egli and Henry Weissler; president, Gus Reh ner; vice president, Michael Retter beck; secretary and treasurer, John Lonsdorf; sergeant at arms, Michael Wetter. The Knights of St. George, which was orgagnized over ten years aso, is one of the strongest and most influential in the parish of St. Marys.

It is not only fraternal but beneficial, having a strong Insuranve fund graded according to the age of members. It is a big factor In the parish and has a membership of 259. After the meeting a social and smoker was enjoyed with a tasty lunch served by courtesy of the officers elect. MAENNERCHO MATTERS. Yesterday's meeting and rehearsal of the Junger Maennerchor was featured by the presence of Prof.

Eager, who left Scranton for St. Louis twenty years ao, and who is credited with being the father of Turners, or German athletics, in this city. The professor was a leading athlete in his day and was the first Instructor in old Turner hall on Seventh street, opposite the E. Robinson brewery, which is now used as a store room. He Is at present the guest of his son in law in Wilkes Barre.

Following the resiuar rehearsal it was decided to conduct the annual mask ball as usual, the date agreed upon being Feb. 7. GRAMBO REELECTED. Oscar Grambo, who was the unanimous choice of the Scranton oor board on Friday last for reelection as treasurer, Is admirably fitted for the position and his reappointment reflects honor on this section of the city. Mr.

Grambo was born in Hostenbach, Kries Saarlouis, In the Rhine province, forty six years ago, where his father was a teacher over 30 years. He came to Scranton with his parents when a mero child, locating In Hyde Park 34 vears ago Having reached man estate Mr. Gramuu iu mm side in 1884 and in 1SSS was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Oswald, daughter of the venerable Joseph Oswald. For a business career he adopted the profession of photographer and has a big paying studio in the central city. As a citizen and neighbor Mr.

Grambo is greatly esteemed. He is prominently identified with Electric City council of the Royal Arcanum, being considered its most efficient collector. He is also affiliated with St. Peter's society and St. Mary's bund of St.

Mary's parish. His reappointment has proved most pleasing to his numerous friends, many of whom called personally to tender their congratulations. ELECTED TO OFFICE. William Janssen, one of the biggest men in the city, councilman from the Nineteenth ward, has been unanimously chosen president of the South Side Republican association, which is appropriately enough, the biggest organization of its kind in this part of the state. Mr.

Janssen is a giant in stature and as genial as he is big. He is a member of Typographical union No. 112 and a most capable mechanic. He is also affiliated with the Roaring Brook conclave of Heptasophs and the Knights of St. George.

His majority in a llv Renublican ward a year ago was a gratifying testimonial to his popularity and worth in that section. He will name the working committees for 1908 at the next meeting of the club. CANDIDATES FILED, PAPERS. Politics are beginning to warm up and now that the date for filing petitions for nomination has expired the situation Is cleared somewhat, as it can now be ascertained Just who the candidate for the various ward offices are. As related In this column previously, Albert Heier for select council and George Hiltz for constable ore the only nominees on the Republican ticket in the Nineteenth ward, and as there is a lack of harmony among the Democrats, especially for councils and constable, the formers chances for election in February are excellent.

A surprise was sprung in the Eleventh ward yesterday, when George Rorick filed papers for select council in opposition to C. G. Lewert on tho Democratic ticket. Another surprise was that Alderman Lentes will seek to succeed himself and has filed papers to fight Constable Joseph Woelkers for the nomination. The candidates for constable and assessor are Joseph Borlety and Frank Grambo, Democrats.

On the Republican side, in the Eleventh ward, there is but one contest to be settled at the primary election, this being between Charles J. Mirtz and Frank Egli. Both are strong men, but the contest, which promises to be spirited, will at the same time be entirely friendly. The remainder of the ticket is made up of what Is conceded to be the strongest and most available citizens in the ward. They are: For select council, Peter W.

Haas; constable, Ed R. Conley; assessor, Charles D. Scheuch. They have already set about making an aggressive fight and many of the most influential residents of the word, irrespective of party, are rallying to their support. NUBS OF NEWS.
