He Is not receiving from them that loyal support that a chief executive of a municipality has a right to expect from the press. Unless some such support Is forthcoming a mayor must naturally And his hands tied alone a great many lines. Some of his cherished schemes have to be abandoned. Matters that are planned for the public benefit result In flat and disastrous failure. It Is the misfortune of Mayor Knif fen that he was elected to office by the common people and 'the "boys" of Wilkes Barre over the head of a man who was favored by the former "doml jiant" element of the town.

For this be has not been forflven. For this efforts have been made to ridicule his official acts, even where they are for the best of all concerned and where they represent the best and most careful thought of the chief executive and his cabinet. Wilkes Barre's mayor may have done a few things that appear eccentric. On the other hand he has sought to do much good and to give everyone a square deal. He is entitled to fair treatment and it Is to be hoped will be accorded the same' in the future.

MUZZLING THE CAT. While the Cincinnati councilman who introduced an ordinance ordering muzzling for cats, will undoubtedly be much reviled and ridiculed, he about right in his suggestions. The time is coming when more attention will be given to the cat nuisance. A great deal of agitation is made about dogs, but there is almost equal danger from cat bites, with the additional fact that pussy by reason of her closer contact with the family has more opportunity. It is not the pet cat, however, that so much demands serious attention in municipal legislation, but the stray cat, the' Wretched, homeless animal whose night prowllngs are an exasperation and whose presence in the vicinity of the home Is a nuisance.

There should be an extermination of stray cats, if for no other reason than the protection of birds. We need trees and vines more than stray cats. Insect life flourishes best where the back yard Is Infested with cats and where song birds are seldom heard. Dear as the petted pussie becomes in the fom ily, the cat that is allowed to roam out of doors at will has no place in the crowded city. It Is a nuisance to the neighbors who, while they may have a fondness for pets, refrain from keeping them because of their consideration for the residents next door.

It is a frequent conveyor of contagion, and the time has come when, certain restrictions should be placed on this animal as well as on the dog. New responsibilities lare crowding themselves upon the German kaiser. It is said that hereafter he is to protect the Turks living in China. TWO PLATFORMS. There aref vast differences between the platform adopted by the Republicans at Chicago and the Democrats, at Denver.

One is the well thought out utterance ot a conservative body of men appreciating their responsibilities; the other is that of a lot of discontented agitators, who are feverishly anxious to fill offices now given' to Republicans and who cautiously trimmed their sails to catch the votes of the greatest number of people, even sacrificing high principles to the itching need of making the election. "In the Chicago platform," says an exchange, "is the cautious work of a body of bureaucrats and representatives of the trusts and monopolies anxious to conciliate the people and at the same time preserve all the privileges that they have wrested from the Are not our Democratic brethern," who will print items like this about the work of the Chicago convention. Just a little bit inconsistent? Not so many days ago were they not charging that President Roosevelt's personality dominated the convention at Chicago. Is it not wellknown that the president Is not in any Way the representative of trusts and monopolies, but on the contrary their persistent and powerful foe. No, the convention at Chicago was not made up of representatives of trusts and monopolies.

The men who framed the Republican platform were not anxious to cater to the capitalized) interests. But they were men who believed in a square deal for all, who were anxious to put themselves in the right before the people, and who wanted to favor issues that benefited the rich man as well as the poor man, and the poor man as well as the rich man. In fact, the platform makers at Chicago were deslrlous of doing right. In comparison with their work, the platform of the Democrats reads like the blatant deliverance of a demagogue only anxious to get as many v6tes as he can. Much is being heard these days about the Injunction plank In the Democratic platform.

A careful reading of the same, will show that wnne more ingeniously put together, it means no more than a similar plan. appearing in the platform adopted at Chicago. There is this difference. There is a conservative tone to the Injunction plank" adopted at Chicago that is lacking In that of Denver. The difference will drive many good men from the Democratic to the Republi can party.

SUFFERING OF THE INNOCENTS. When people are seized with relig ious delusions almost Invariably they seem to seek a victim and as invariab ly that victim is some poor defense' less child. Faith curists allow their little children to die with malignant diseases rather than use remedies that should be applied or call the aid of ex perlenced physicians. Douhkobors not content with exposing their own per sons to the blasts of the bitterest win ter weather, disrobe their half nour ished1 little children and force them to long marches unprotected from the cold. All of this is done in the name of religion by fanatics who should be placed in lunatic asylums.

Recently two horrible examples of such lunacy have been reported. In Nazareth, one man, Bachman, who decided that he had all the religion there was, brutally killed a beautiful little girl, a mere baby of five years, in order to drive out the devil from the house, while her parents stood by and witnessed the crime. This week, in New York, a' woman branded with red hot irons her little son in the delusion that he was the Messiah and should be recognized as such at the Resur rection. Such crimes as these are a revela tion of what little children of fanatics are made to suffer. It is easy to see the blight that is thrown over a young life reared amid such morbid sur roundings, even if no physical Injury is inflicted.

The litle pallid lad must have undergone experiences with his fanatic mother grandmother that would cause a mature brain to reel and yet there was no hand to save. He had to accept the crazy ideas of these women as authority and suffer in silence When people begin to be "queer" and they have little children in their power is time for outside Interference. Many a young life would be saved from misery If there were more neighborly supervision where the haplness of children was at stake. The trouble is that neighborly supervision is very likely to busy Itself with matters that do not need regulating, while the abuses of helpless women and children are permitted to go on uninterrupted ly. Tom Lawson has made a great dis covery.

It Is that the Republican campaign fund has already reached the sum of two million, five hundred thousand dollars. It is said that Treasurer Sheldon is greatly concerned because THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN. TUESDAY. JULY 14, 1908. he has been unable to find the money.

That is not surprising as it doubtless exists in Mr. Lawson's fertile imagination o.nly. fc Some one recently suggested the horrible thought that as a rule Americans are too hopeful. Here an English authority who suggests that "the sanguine temperament of the American is justified by the wonderful progress of his own country." At times a great deal of sound sense appears to develop In England. NOW FOR THE BLACK HAND.

That the murdered man at 'Nay Aug has been positively identified is to the credit of the county and the authorities. If it is true, as it 4ems to be, that he lived by terrorizing his compatriots, and on the rewards of their industry and thrift, but little sympathy will be felt for him. The fact remains however, that the person or persons who killed their tormentor committed a great crime for which the penalty is death, and every effort will be made for their capture. The attitude of the law is that the persons who were constantly called upon to pay tribute to a bad man, should have con tided in the authorities for protection rather than take matters in their own hands when goaded beyond endurance. It must be admitted, however, that io many localities where law abiding and industrious citizens have relied upon the police for protection, and have turned Informant against their persecutors, the results were somewhat discouraging as regarded with frank ness.

In the events that followed it was the law abiding citizen who received the doom threatened while the Black Hand agent and his evil band escaped justice. In Newark one of the bravest and best citizens of any nationality, an Italian who had suf fered for years under the tyranny of the Black Hand, set the police on the track of the band and as a result was himself killed by the inexorable foe In New York where several citizens asked for protection it was found that the malevolent fury of the band con tinued to follow them and that the police could not, or at least, did not. protect them from the secret stiletto, from the dynamite bomb and the bul let. If the county and city authorities from this time forth display as much energy and cleverness In rooting out the tribute levying, bomb throwing and terrorizing malefactors who infest these Italian colonies, as are being shown in the effort to locate the slay ers of this murdered man perhaps the Black Hand order will find it advisable tn iva this valley a wide berth. GOOD BYE OLD HORSE.

It is a good work that the Animal Rescue league has undertaken in this city, and if ever there was a place where such efforts can be carried on to advantage it is right here in Scran ton. The steep grades, the heavy lad lng and the slippery pavements on many of the hills afford heart break ing scenes to all who do not turn their face the other way. It Is a very much easier task to turn the face the other way than to at tempt to remedy matters. One can quite successfully Imagine that evils do not exist if one is persistent enough in turning the face away from the spot, where they might be seen. There is a great deal of this face turning in the world, for it produces less uncomfortable sensations and reflections.

That there' are some people in Scran ton who are resolutely gazing toward the abuses with a mind to cure them is in line with city improvement and other good movements. It must be admtted that within the last few years an abnormal number of wretched old horses have appeared on our streets. It is a source of wonder where they are recruited from since the era of the horsecar Is too far in the past for the preservation of the victims for ash cart purposes. It Is to be suspected that a great many persons In this community haunt the vicinity of the fertilizing works and forestall the natural purpose of the poor horses by purchasing them for a trifle In order to make them continue in service under hard taskmasters. The Rescue league will have plenty of opportunities to exercise its philanthropic efforts.

There can be very little sympathy felt with the Phllidelphlan who shot his wife in mistake for a burglar the other night. Such an accident as that is always inexcusable and is nearly certain to cause very close investiga tion by the authorities. The average number of burglars shot in private houses will scarcely equal the mem bers of the family who thus are victims at the hands of some one who should investigate before firing at any figure in the vicinity. Mr. Bryan Is willing to forego a second term.

Such a statement made by Roosevelt meant something four years ago. It means very little now as uttered by the same rival that was defeated at that time. DIED. JOYCE In Scranton, July 14, 1905. Margaret Joyce, the Infant daugh ter of Mr.

Has anybody noticed how very closely the weather has followed the predictions from the local bureau this summer in fact, almost too closely? We don't get the satisfaction, when we read that It is going to be hotter tomorrow, of saying comfortably, "Oh, I guess not. You can't believe the weather predictions." They have been painfully accurate ever since the hot weather began. When it comes to hustling to get something worth while Wilkes Barre seems to be able to look ahead and get it. In planning for the convention of the State League of Republican clubs Wilkes Barre evidently didn't lose sight of the fact that it was a presi dential year and that the Republican candidates might be on hand. Scran ton isn't sure that it even has a Re publican club to send down there on the happy day.

We can get many dinky little conventions, but we don't see mto corral anything half as big seem to corral anything half as big SOUTH SIDE. vThe South Side bank will allow terest from July first on all savings deposits made on or before July 11th. 4t8 Peter Clarence, the 17 month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rosar, of 618 Birch street, whose death occurred on Friday evening, was laid to rest yes terday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Laughs In clusters, bunches and packages are being distributed at the Poll this week In the Poll Stock com pany's presentation of the great Broad hurst comedy "Why Smith Left Home." As a hot weather offering, the piece is the most attractive of the stock season. The story centers around the domes tic complications which befall the new ly wed Mr.

and Mrs. John Smith. No. sooner have they been married and" settle for a quiet honeymoon at home, therl domicile Is invaded by a horde of Interfering relatives. Mrs.

Smith's aunt, who has taken unto herself a French general as husband, is the most offensive of the visitors and in describing, her the long suffering Smith says she is a mother in law by instinct, if not in reality. Determined to rid the house of the Invaders, Smith conspires with La vlnla Daly, the Irish to perpetrate her most unpalatable dishes upon them. Lavlnla Is secretary of the Cooks' union and queen of the House maids' society of Holland Dames and the part, as Interpreted by Mr. Allen is one of the' best in the production. The best description of "Why Smith Left Home," would be to say It is a conglomeration of funny situations and domestic misadventures hung to gether by a story of mistaken identity.

In the leadlnjr parts of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Gertrude Shlpman and Director McGill are exceptionally good and the same may be said for Miss Lamb as Julia, the servant, who complains that she has. been in the house two weeks WANTED. PARTY with some capital to help develop a tract of copper in Texas.
