F. Hobbs. KNOX AT GETTYSBURG. At Gettysburg on Memorial day, the speaker of the day was United States Senator Knox. He delivered an ad dress suitable to the occasion in which he referred in glowing terms, not only to the great battle which decided the fate of the Confederacy, but also to the causes that led up to it.

Then he passed to a few paragraphs concerning the cause of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, at least two of which will arrest the attention of all thinking meri who have given heed to the lessons of history. Senator Knox said: "Speaking of Napoleon and Waterloo, Victor Hugo says: 'Was it possible that Napoleon should win this battle? We answer no! Why? Because of Wellington? Because of Blu cher? Xo! Because of God. For Bonaparte to be conqueror of Waterloo was not in the law of the nineteenth century. Another series of facts were preparing in which Napoleon had no place. The ill will of events had long been announced.

Napoleon had been impeached before the Infinite and hts fall was decreed. He vexed God. Waterloo is not a battle; it is the change of front to the "And so at the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon cn the one side in opposition to the incorruptible and supreme equity must go down before the great ethical law, which destroyed him because by his ambition and his power he was disturbing the equilibrium of the moral world." Unquestionably, Knox, wiih an eye keen to the real causes that produce events, has solved the riddle of Wafer loo. The infinite raised up this splendid soldier, Napoleon; this supreme military genius, to serve the purposes of the age.

It gave him an heroic soldiery, of which the world has had few parallels that he might restore to influence and usefulness a great nation torn to1 shreds by a most sanguinary and horrible revolution; that he might the better serve mankind. Given power that was sweeping everything before it. Napoleon became an offender against divine and natural tews. Divine aiW natural laws destroyed him. 'Incorruptible and supreme equity" decreed that he must go.

So, he fell, and much of the grandeur and glory of France went with him. Napoleon, once the colossal genius of the world, is now but a memory and even that so despised by some that he has been called the world's greatest butcher. Many causes contributed to Napoleon's overthrow, even a sunken road that he did not know existed. Something held to "Wellington regiments that had been tampered with. Some thing prevented this careful man of battle from learning of Victor Hugo' road.

Senator Knox most be right could not have been erring man alone, It must have been God. Iu view of the fact that some of the dangerous swimming places are being thronged daily by children without po lice interference, the usual number of drownings may be expected to occur. PERHAPS PERMANENT RELIEF. One of the best monuments to a city administration here will be the pro tectlon of the river flats from further encroachment of water at the flood seasbru Such a step has been contem plated anil planned for many years but there is always the difficulty in the way of a lack of funds, apd, in the meantime, the process of filling up the river bed continues and conditions grow worse instead of better as they should in a progressive city like Scran ton. The day will come when the matter can be no longer postponed when the expenses of damages will be too over whelming and the cost must be met whether or not the councils can see the way to provide the funds.

That day is very near at hand, and there is reason to believe that the proper step are being taken to meet the emer gency. Many industries located In this city have done their worst to deface the landscape and to render desolate many spots that would be beautiful if left to nature's hand. The city aryj its sub urqs are disfigured by these hideous blots that are all to frequently found, When these industries also by reason of their peculiar conditions, destroy homes and menace health whenever a heavy flood descends, there should be a reckoning, to say the least. It Is a satisfaction to know that efforts are being made to have the matter taken up scientifically and deliberately, yet with the purpose of finding out just how much violation there Is of the law and where individual responsltjllty ends and municipal precautions begin It Is time such action was taken and that some permanent relief could be expected. JUDICIARY CONTESTS.

Contests in the different judicial dis tricts of the state are now attracting attention. In seven of these districts vacancies on the bench are to be filled In four, there is practically no partisan contention. The three districts in which a different situation exists are Lackawanna, where Judge Carpenter, the appointee of the governor, is op posed by James J. O'Neill, the Demo cratic nominee; in Schuylkill, where the Republicans have nominated Con, gressman Charles N. Brumm to oppose Adolph W.

Schlack, Democrat; and: in Susquehanna, where the Republican candidate is Ralph B. Little, who is opposed by John M. Kelley, Democrat. In these last two districts the situation is complicated by the fact that there are third party nominees, Schuylkill having a Socialist candidate in Wil liam J. Gardner, and Susquehanna a Prohibition nominee in Edson W.

Saf ford. Judge Little's chances of election by a good sized majority appear to be bright. State newspapers appear to recognize that in Lackawanna and Schuylkill the judicial battles will be most active and possibly close. In both instances chances favoring the Repub licans. It is pointed out that both of these counties have fallen into the habit of giving strong Republican ma joritles in presidential years and there seems to be no reason why 1908 should prove ait exception to the general rule.

A NEW HOLIDAY. Many new holidays have been es tablished in various portions of the United States, and in connection with class reasons. Labor Day, on Septem ber 1, is one of the most popular, while May Day in some places has become a holiday not especially marked by its orderly character. Among1 the mining populations in different locations, certain days have been established for reasons more or less local, such as Mitchell Day and those of similar na ture. It is probable however, that nowhere in the world, and at no period in the history of labor agitation, has a day been more popularly heralded with more acclaim than this June first, when In several cities resumption of work on full time, and re employment of many men who had been in idleness for months, were celebrated in "Re Employment Day." Under the auspices of the National Prosperity Association this event was established and successfully carried out as a beginning.

It is estimated that nearly one hundred thousand more persons are working lrl mills and shops today than were employed last week. This Is the real test of returned prosperity if it can be made to continue and will do more to start the Wheels everywhere than can be accomplished just now In any other way. It is to be hoped that the Association that had made such determined1 efforts in this direction, will be equally fortunate In accomplishing other "good times" plans that are In view. In the language of the baseball ex pert the senate filibusterers were lacking in team work. A statement has been made by the Chicago! Herald that it will be useless to open Cannon headquarters In the Windy City.

He has no chance of a nomination how and his advanced age THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY. JUNE 2. 190S. makes it extremely probable that he will not come before mother convention as a nominee, although the speaker' is a splendid type of a well preserved man. An anti spitting ordinance has Just been approved in Allentown and the newspapers of the city are extolling it to the best of their ability.

It is a matter that most cities of the state took care of some time ago, but it is a city law that is very generally ignor ed. Its importance is admitted, but so much trouble Is experienced In enforcing It that it must naturally re main somewhat of a dead letter, On street cars, however, expectorating on floors has almost been done away with. In that respect much good has been accomplished. WATCHING PETTY THIEVES. It is 'to the credit of the police force that close watch is being kept on that most exasperating type of petty thiev ing, the robbery of refrigerators and milk bottles In the early morning, and that at least one offender has been caught.

Residents of this city have suffered a great deal in the past from the class of sneak thieves who go about in gumshoes, robbing porches of furniture and the kitchen veranda and refrigerator of provisions. Few arrests have ever been made for these thefts and the victims have felt that the chances of redress were exceed ingly remote. A few arrests at this time will do much to prevent these depredations that have been so annoying. It is a pretty mean thief that will steal the contents of either unless he is absolutely starving and he deserves severe treatment. LONG HOURS OF LABOR.

In this day of great industrial activ ity and trades unionism it seems strange to read an article In the Square Deal for May advocating longer hours for labor, asserting that an eight hour day means an unfair bearing of burdens, intimating that in time it must give way before the ma jority thought of the country. The article referred to is from the pen of Dr. J. G. Enstad, of Grand Forks, North Dakota.

He follows a line of argument that may seem sufficient unto himself, but which is clearly so illogical that even a child will appreciate the fact. In the opinion of Dr. Endstad a con flict is rapidly approaching between the representatives of limited hours of labor and the representatives "of the enormous hosts of producers, who work, toil and suffer every hour of their lives, health permitting, in tickling the soil to produce an abundance." He goes on to remark that "I may safely state the fact that not a loaf of bread, a pound of meat, an egg, an ounce of butter, a quart of milk, a pint of cream, peck of patotoes, vegetables innumerable, but what are raised or produced at an energy of at least six teen hours of labor every day." Dr. Endstad argues that no one in cities knows the everlasting drudgery, the incessant foil and the exposure to inclement weather of the dairy farmer. His thought is that it is an unfair in dustrial basis that compels this man who labors sixteen hours each day to barter the result of his toil on an even basis for that of the man who follows the union idea of working but eight hours a day.

Where Dr. Endstad errs is In be lieving that the sixteen hour a day man will bring the eight hour a day man to his way of viewing things. On the contrary, everywhere the tendency is in the direction of the shorter work day. It has' not done much for the farmer today, but it will in the future. It is true that men and women on farms work longer hours than they.

should, but it cannot always be thus. There will come a time when Im proved methods on farms will shorten the hours of labor materially. In fact on many farms now the long hours of labor are giving way to the shorter ones. In the course of a few years the stock raisers and the dairy farmers will so adjust their conditions to the remainder of the busy world that there will be no need for them to labor 'from sun to sun," straining their physical being in the hope of being able to bear their full share of the burcSens of life. Nature never intended man or woman to labor in this way.

It is common sense that has been the instructor of labor in this matter A ten hour day is long enough for anyone and in many vocations an eight hour day Is preferable. Mr. Bryan has made It pretty clear that If nominated he will write the platform on which he will come before the voters. Bryan as a candidate on a Judge Parker platform does not appeal to him. In that respect he Is certainly right.

It may be truthfully said that some American heiresses are making any amount of trouble for trustful innocents. In five years Count Bonl spent three million dollars of his wife's fortune and went five million dollars In debt. Staticlan8 in the employ of the state at Harrlsburg have ascertained that the uniform primaries are not costing as much as was expected. Democrats now realize that the time has come for them to abuse the congress that has Just adjourned, and1 they are trying to do their best. Slreakfatt The Rev.

Dr. and Mrs. Rogers Israel sail on the steamship Friesland, of the American line from Miiladelphia on Saturday morning at 10 w'clock. iney go as delegates to the Pan Anglican congress which mee'ts In London, June 14, and will continue over June 24. On the same vessel there sail with them 25 other clerical and lay including two bishops, Bishop Talbot of this diocese and the bishop of West Virginia.

Af ter the congress closes, on June 25 Dr. and Mrs. Israel will go on a tour through Holland, Belgium and Ger many before returning home. They erpect to return early in August. Following out the plan and idea so strongly endorsed by President Roose Melt, that ry able bodied 'ijan in the country should learn to handle a gun, and that a sharpshooter makes a most desirable citizen, a form of Instruction has been begun at the Luna Park shooting gajlery.

The' gallery is in charge of Edward R. Cooler, one of tne Dest Known rincmen tn tne state, who has had over twenty years' experience. He has set aside the afternoon hours from 1 to 5 for Instruction In sighting, aiming, the care of guns, etc. Especial care and attention will be given to ladies and young people. One form of training adopted by Mr.

Conley is taken from the United States and English army regulations in both of which he served, and it will be his highest ambition to help develop a thousand sharpshooters in this city. Shooting is his hobby and his gallery in Luna Park is the finest in the state. Druggists are the confidants of more domestic secrets than are family doctors or even divorce lawyers. They prescribe for more ailments than do any of their physician patrons. Their wisdom and judgment cousulted more than the preacher's.

More responsibility rests with them than with any other profession, for, while the surgeon who happens to let the knife slip can always say that the operation was successful although the patient failed to rally. The druggist win makes a mistake immediately finds himself in difficulties. A downtown druggist fairly gasped yesterday when a very small boy, whose head came about the counter top, remarked ostentatiously, "My pa's been operated on for tombstones." 'W what!" demanded the astonish ed drugger. 'Anyway it is some kind of stones," qualified the small chap guardedly. Then he paid the penny, tightly held in his warm little fist, for some chocolates and went off contentedly, while the bystanders remarked that perhaps the youngster was not so far off in his statement after all, as that was what a great many persons seemed to be operated on for, as results showed.

Superintendent Howell's ascension into office yesterday afternoon, was almost singular, in its absolute absence of anything like formality or awk v.S'rdness, as far as the meeting with the teachers was concerned. It was the day for the regular assembling of the principals in the superintendent's office. They went as usual, at four o'clock or thereabouts. Instead of Superintendent Phillips, there was Superintendent Howell that was all. The teachers greeted Professor Howell, as if he had been there all the time, and so had they.

The new superin tendent greeted the teachers as if there had been no hiatus In his rule, and that was all there, was to it. There was no speechifying, no declarations of policy, no ceremony of any sort. Superintendent Howell waved his hand airily and remarked to a little group that stood near for there was no meeting "If you hear anybory wonder, what is going to be done, you can say that nothing will be changed, that everything is going on as usual and will do so it is all Just ahe same." So, that is the way it happened, af ter fuss and feather? on the part of the school board and the public. It is surprising how simple almost anything is when everybody is disposed to treat It as a matter of course. MARRIAGE LICENSES.

The death of William A. Pearson, chief archtect and superintendent of the General Electric company, of Schenectady, N. which, occurred last Tuesday morning at 12:30 o'clock, was very much unexpected, although deceased had been in ill health for some time, and few weeks ago In company with his niece, went to Virginia in hopes of regaining his health. Later he had contemplated a trip abroad. While away his condition continued to grow worse and he returned home a few days before he died.

William A. Pearson, son of William and Margaret Pearson, was born Athens, Bradford county, Pennsyl vania, July 2. 1835, where lie received his early education. He was graduat ed from the Sayre (Pa.) High school 1870. Early in life he showed a de cidedly mechanical, turn of mind and immediately after cotrfpleting his education served his apprenticeship In the machinist's trade in the L.

W. railroad shops at Scranton, where his exceptional ability soon made him foreman of these shops. From Scranton he went to Omaha, as civil engineer for the Union Pacific railroad, where he remained three years, from which he was promoted to master mechanic with headquarters at Carson City, Nev. He then went to irglnia City to become superintendent on the Comstock, where he remained three years, when he resigned, to engage In mining business with headquarters In New York. From this position ho resigned to become superintendent of the marine department of the Dfckson Manufacturing at Scranton, and later to a similar position with the Boies Wheel company of the same place.

In 1S92 he came to Schenectady to accept a position with the General Electric where' he remained until hts death as chief engineer In charge of buildings. Mr. Pearson was prominent' in Masonic circles. He became a' member LEGAL. AN ORDINANCE FILE OF SELECT COL'NCIL.
