tl 510 and 512 Lackawanna Ave. GARB0NDALE. C0ALBR00K SOON TO RESUME WORK Two Thousand Men and Bays, Idle for Summer, Will Shortly Be Busy. The work of repairing Coalhrook breaker is rapidly forging ahead. When completed, it will be the most modern equipped breaker in ihl section.

A large force of workm have been engaged in remodeling the structure ever since it was closod dnvn, and the work is nearing an early completion. It was stated yesterday that the repairs will be so far completed by September 15. that the hundreds of nien thrown idle by the stopping of mining operations, may resume their duties. The repair work that is now being done, has long been wanted, and means a great improvement to the breaker, which is ono of the essentials in the preparation of coal. The most noticeable and important improvement ta the structure is the placing of conveyors where wooden ones had been in uso previously.

The wooden conveyors, although in service for a number of years, were inadequate for present requirements and the placing of a more substantial and modern equipment was necessitateo in order to compete with the advancement in the coal industry. Aside from this improvement, there is being made a number of minor changes throughout the massive building, which will place it in a satisfactory condition to meet the usual fall demand. The several suspensions, which threw about 2,000 men and boys idle, have been felt financially since the cessation, and it will be glad news to learn that the repair work Is being rushed rapidly, so that the employers can resume work about the middle of next month.

One of many facts that distinguishes Lyman H. Howe's life drama, to be seen at the Grand next Tuesday ceiling, above all others is the artistic mimicry of appropriate osunds by a staff of clever imitators. Another equally distinguishing feature is too arrangement of the subjects zo that each cmopliments the other by contrast. The Dandy Dixie minstrels will appear at the Grand next Wednesday evening. The New York Herald, for instance, declares that it is unquestionably the best negro minstrel ever seen in this country; the New Orleans Picayne declares that it is the very best colored minstrel organization that lias ever appeared in the Crescent City.

THOMAS J. GALLAGHER. An Esteemed Resident Passed Away Last Evening. Thomas J. Gallagher, a highly esteemed resident of the city, died suddenly, at 6 o'clock last night at his home, 16 Salem avenue.

He expired while sitting in a chair, waiting for supper. He had suffered from asthma for some time but while in poor health, was able to be about and his death was not expected at this time. The deceased was a native of Carbondale, and about 50 years of age. For many years' he resided in Wilkes Barre, where he conducted the Electric hotel. About nine years ago he removed to a farm near Crystal lake, owned by him, and five years ago returned to Carbondale, where he resided since.

The deceased was a man of excellent characteristics. Aman of highest integrity, affable and genial in disposition, he readily won the steadfast friendship, confidence and esteem of a very wide circle of acquaintances, who sincerely deplore his demise. Mr. Gallagher is survived by his wife, three sons, Thomas, James and Lawrence Gallagher, of this city; one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Boles, of Scranton; one brother, Michael Gallagher, and three sisters, Mrs.

Frederick Packer, Mrs. Winifred Langan and Mrs. Anna Hayes, all of Wilkes Barre. The funeral arrangements have not been completed. (Wilkes Barre papers please copy).

TAFT ANSWERS" BRYAN'S QUESTIONS (Continued from Page One.) it involves a knowledge of the difficulties of criminal prosecution under our present system; it requires a consid eration of the line between national and state jurisdiction and also of the extent of the federal power under the in terstae commerce clause of the consti tution, and it will doubtless require before the reform is sufficiently broad and effective a series of amendments sug gested by actual experience of earnest men engaged in a sincere effort to reach the real guilty without involving the punishment of the innocent, of striking down the abuses of the law defying wealthy and at the same' time preserving to thrift and industrial enterprise the rewards essential to continued material progress. A RAP AT BRYANISM. The fact that the Democratic party had but little recent experience in the responsibilities of power and but little training in actual legislation makes th party and its distinguished leader oblivious of the necessity for care and caution in the enactment of statutes which are to accomplih changes in our social and business relations. We have seen within the short four years of the present administration such measures as government ownership of railways, election or rederai judges and national initiative and referendum proposed as remedies for our existing evils, and now withdrawn under assurances that they will not be again suggested.

May we therefore not regard the inaction of one session of congress in delibera tion in a matter requiring it rather than as a basis for the claim that the legislature wishes to defeat the will of the people? The truth is we are deal ing with an incident of human proe ress and with some unfavorable conditions produced by the operation of individualism and the institution of private property which it will reouire all the practical common, sense of the American people, exercised in the passage of statute after statute, prop erly to meet without placing obstacles in the way of true progress. THE DEMOCRACY AS A REFORM AGENT. If these abuses were always well known, as now claimed, and the necessity for their radical and drastic reform was clear to all, and especially to the Democratic party under its present leadership, it would seem that of all the possible agencies for reform the Democratic party is the one least entitled to any credit. For while the resolutions of its plaforrps in 1896, 1900 and 1904 denounced the abuses of corporate wealth, they never proposed feasible plans or made the prominent and chief issue of any campaign the carrying out of what have now become known, and properly known, as the Roosevelt policies. On the contrary, in 1896 the party marie the chief issue a disastrous financial experiment, MrsElizabethEfflartin 1 1 HAD FRONTAL HEADACHES EYES BOTHERED ME DROPPING IN MY THROAT MRS.

ELIZABETH H. MARTIN, 332 Bowen Avenue, Chicago, 111., Chaplain Garfield Circle, writes: "Peruna has been a blessing to our family for a good many years, as wo have all used it off and on for colds and catarrh, and I have given it to all of my children with the best of results. 'I found that a cold left me with catarrh of the head in a very bad form. My head was stopped up, I had frontal headaches, my eyes bothered me, and there was a nasty dropping in my throat which nauseated me and made it impossible many times for me to ea' my breakfast. "As soon as I began to uso Pernna found it relieved me, my head soou cleared up and in a remarkably short time I was rid of catarrh.

"I can, therefore, give my personal experience with your valuable medicine, and am pleased to do so."

Man a lin the Ideal Laxative. which would have retarded the prog ess of this eountry a quurter of a cen tury and sullied its financial honor. In 1900 the partv reiterated its adherence to this suicidal policy of repudiation of national and private debts and obliga tions and then advanced as the para mount issue of the campaign, not the trusts, not corporate wealth and abuses, the repudiation of all our in ternational responsibili es growing out of the Spanish way and the do truction of what thev filled the growing cancer of imperialism. HOW THE PEOPLE HAVE RULED.

Again in 1904, instead of selecting the abuses and evils for which they now seek to make the Republican party responsible, as the main' issue of the campaign, the burden of their contention was the usurpation of the powers of the executive office by President Rnnscvelf, Including his settlement of the anthracite coal strike, and the violation of tho Federal constitutional limitations by the Republican party, while the extent of the trust evil was minimized by the statement of tho then party candidate, that the common law furnished sufficient remedy to suppress it, and by the general party declaration that nothing but safe and sane policies were to be adopted under the administration which should follow its success In the election. The people in 1896. by a substantial majority, rejected the plan of repudiation set forth by the Democratic party. In 1900, the people again by even a greater majority, rejected the plan of the Democratic party to repudiate the national responsibilities; and in 1904, they again rejected the same party, which had temporarily assumed its ancient character as a preserver of the constitution. It is said that the people do not rule in this country.

My impression has always been that the election of Mr. McKinley and a Republican congress, in 1S96. was one of the most intelligent and effective expressions of popular will ever manifested to the world, and that the maintenance otihe gold stand ard and a protective tariff by his ad ministration was a correct interpretation of the people's will. This was conclusively shown to be so by even a greater majority for Mr. McKinley, in 1900.

When Theodore Roosevelt was chosen In 1904, a still greater majority was returned, and the inference that he and the Republican congress under him, had again carried out the people's will as was indisputable. It Is suggested that the will is to be suppressed because tjie speaker of the house of representatives will be given certain powers in the procedure of the house if Republican. It suffices to meet this criticism of our Democratic friends to say that the rules complained of which were originally adopted under Speaker Reed for the purpose of doing business in the house, were subsequently adopted by a Democratic house for the same purpose. WHY SOUTH LACKS POLITICAL INFLUENCE. I wish to speak for 'a little while upon the Republican and Democratic parties in the South.

It is not much to affirm that a great number of Democrats are opposed to the Democratic party under its present leadership. None ot them will be disappointed if the Democratic' ticket is defeated. Everyone having the interest of the country at heart as an abstract proposition would rejoice to have the solid South as a Democratic asset in every national campaign broken up. The Republican party is not the sectional party which the fact that the South always supports tho Democratic party would, indicate. Leading Democrats from the.

South have complained, and with much ground, that the leading men of the South have but little influence in the executive branch of the government at Washington, and as the executive branch is always in action, Is always on guard and has much to do with framing the foreign and domestic policies of the country this makes tho South feel that it is not exercising its share of national governmental control. The reason is that the South has always been considered by the Democ and especially the Northern Democracy, as a part of the country certain to support the Democratic ticket, and therefore when the Republican party is in power it is noi either natural or to "be expected that It should summon to its executive the leading men from the opposing party in the South. The only way by which the South can cure this matter is by independence of action and the support of the Republican ticket. Many independent Democrats In the South agree with the Republican party In all its main economic doctrines. Since 1X90 the Connolly Wallace Connolly Wallace Scf anion's Stopping Center.

Connolly Wallace Connolly Wallace manufacturing interests of the South have exceeded her agricultural interests; the industrial expansion of the South exceeds that of any other part of this country and is really the marvel of the world. The South Is today in its cotton factories, in its Iron factories and the sugar culture of Louisiana more dependent for its business prosperity on the maintenance of a reasonable protective tariff than any other community in the country. Many of the Southern Democrats hae taken an active interest in promoting our present Philippine policy and more are in sympathy with it.

So too they have not the slightest sympathy with that spirit of the Democratic platform favoring a destruction of certain industrial interests for the purpose of stamping out the evil in their conduct rather, than their regulation with a view to bringing them within the law. They know and understand the threat against the prosperity of the country involved in placing in power tho Democratic party under its present leadership. THE SOMAN DEMOCRACY. We hear much of Jeffersnninn Democracy and the adherence by the present regime of the Democratic party to the principles of Thomas Jefferson. I venture to say that if Jefferson were to return to life he would not recognize his reputed political descendants.

While there is a good deal of declaration in the Denver platform against centralization of power the propositions contained in the Democratic platform are even more federalistlc in their tendency than those in the Republican platform. The Republican party has always been in favor of a liberal construction of the constitution to maintain the national power, and its attitude in this regard might "in times past have justified a Southern Democrat in assuming that there was at least one principle left of the old Democracy to which he might adhere by voting the Democratic ticket; but that resource in the present Denver platform has been completely eliminated and propositions are there made which the most federalistlc statesman might find it very difficult to work out Under our federal constitution. OPPORTUNITY FOR SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS. The Republicans of the South should nut forward for office good men. men of high character, and by their energy in the election contest avoid the criticism that the Republican party in the South Is organized merely for the purpose of receivingifederal patronage.

This fight should be made without regard to whether we can gain the electoral vote of any Southern state. If the nonnhiipans of the South by active or ganization and with the sympathy of manv indenendent Democrats can in crease their votes substantially it means a great step toward tne suosequem relief of the Southern states from the po litical thralldom of the past GRAMBS OOD ROCERIES PHONE IN YOUR ORDER TODAY.
