Entered at matter. the poet office at Scranton aa second claae mall SCRANTON, PAi, JANUARY 6, 1914, The Mayor's Message.

The mayor's message is just the kind of a message we should expect as the first pronouncement of a busi ness administration. It is restrained, balanced and eminently practical. We Tiave no doubt that many people, Vho remember vividly the heat and the excitement of Vhe primary and election campaigns, will think the docu 1 i i i i mi i 1 iV.i raenc exceedingly tame. Jiney nave Deen inmiung uw the show would open with fireworks; they looked for something more radical and more revolutionary. We are satisfied with the situation as it is, and believe that Mr.

jermyn has made a wise beginning, i In business a man should be cautious until he is jabsolutely certain of his ground, and then, when he has Jhis bearings, he should muster all his forces and push forward relentlessly. A municipal business administration means that the citizens are to get the largest permanent benefits from the expenditure of the city funds. We have contended right along that the mayoralty is not a political but an administrative office. The mayor is not so much a statesman, laying down principles and beating out, policies, oecause xne limits pi nis power are very largely set by the city charter, but he is rather a man ager, whose task it is to get dividends of civic happiness nd municipal prosperity out of the capital that the citizens subscribe in the form of taxes. Mr.

Jermyn's thirteen recommendations are very lane and businesslike. There may be slight differences of opinion as to the effectiveness of one or two of them, but no one will deny that in the main and as a whole they look toward efficiency and economy. They are what Mr. Brandies would call scientific management. There is nothing chimerical or visionary or impractical in them.

It would have been a great mistake had the new mayor atttempted to outline definitely every possible reform and retrenchment for which the people have a right to look when remembering his campaign pledges. The inaugural message must be accepted as simply the first step planned to accomplish just as much as he believes can be carried out at the beginning of his administration. The spirit of the campaign, however, will be found clearly set forth in the document, and it should be accepted not only as a prophecy of what is to follow, but as a pledge that Mr. Jermyn will not run a wild or sensational administration, but a safe and sound and scientific management of the city's affairs. Perhaps the two things that will be of greatest interest to the public are first, the nromise of an effort toifeect economy by the establishment of a common tax irnce in which the city, school, poor and county taxes may be paid in the same place, thus effecting a saving of many thousands of dollars a year.

We believe that this arrangement can be brought about only by an act of the legislature, but if our city administration is behind such a measure and has the co operation of the school and poor districts and the county officials, we have no doubt whatever that such a law can be passed. Mr. Jermyn's attitude toward the enforcement of the liquor law should be satisfactory to every one. So long as the sale of intoxicating liquors is legalized by the state, a fair and firm insistence that every one in this business "shall abide strictly both by the letter and the spirit of every existing law and every city ordinance," is all that the people can expect or demand. If our new mayor uses his department of public safety to fulfil this pledge, we shall have a much cleaner and more orderly city.

The Tribune Republican offers' its hearty congratulations both to the city of Scranton and to Mr. Jermyn Upon the beginning of the new administration. We have nothing but the heartiest and the best wishes for every one who bears in any way the burdens of municipal government. There are possibilities in this city that can be realized within the next few years if we can combine economy with courage if we make the very best of the money we have, and at the same time pursue a positive and constructive policy with respect to all of our local Interests, r. Dr.

S. Weir Mitchell. In the death of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, America has lost one of its foremost citizens, a man who represented the high water mark of American accomplishment.

As a physician particularly as an expert in nervous diseases he stood in the very front ranks of his profession. To the public at large he was better known as a novelist, with a rare charm of style, a constructive imagination and an instinct for historical settings that made him an educator as well as an entertainer. His most pretentious work, "Hugh Wynne," is almost a classic, and will long Vremain one of the best romances of the Revolutionary period. Courteous, scholarly and industrious, Weir was a man of whom any nation might well be proud." St. Louis is eating imitation lemon pies made of turnips and citric acid.

This at least demonstrates that something, more deadly than the lemon pie has been discovered, "The Red Badge of Courage." In the battles that have been fought in Mexico, and in Texas, after it had seceded from its original jurisdiction, the natives of the turbulent republic have been considered as fierce, but not very effective fighters. They would always give way before a smaller body of Americans', their marksmanship not being accurate and their tactics faulty. In the fighting of the past two weeks in Mexico, particularly in the northern states, the Federals have revealed no lack of courage, even when defeated. Behind their entrenchments at Ojinaga, fighting with greatest bravery, they have again and again, hurled back the desperate assaults of the Constitutionalists, imposing a check on the rebels that has proved as exasperating as disappointing. It is likely that one of the reasons why the rebels have won so many victories in the field, is that their armies have included a smattering of soldiers of fortune from the United States and from some of the countries of Europe, who have proved themselves better fighters, even if no more courageous, than the natives.

Nothing seems clearer than that the northern part ef Mexico is lost to Huerta. It is the rebels who have tls larger number ef men, the better fighting equipment, J.aM,S i.v THE TRIBUNE REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1914 and the most ammunition. They have been handicapped somewhat, by being forced to assume the offensive against an enemy generally fighting behind some kind of an entrenchment. That is why they have suffered temporary reverses at Tampico and later at Ojinaga. At the latter place the Constitutionalists are being reinforced, and unquestionably they will' soon be in command of the situation.

Once the north is free of Federal troops, Carranza, 'Villa and the others will be able to begin their operations in the vicinity of the capital, where the provisional president is expected to make his last stand. If the rebel forces keep growing in numbers as they have been during the past month, Huerta is likely to be annihilated by the numerical strength of his enemies. The President, the Departments and the Trusts. President Wilson's difficulty with trust legislation will not come so much from the trusts themselves as from the undigested recommendations of his departments and subordinates. We gather this from the reports already made to the president by Secretary Red field of the department of commerce, and James A.

Da vies, the commissioner of corporations. Secretary Redfield thinks that the fundamental question to be determined is whether the big combination in business is socially and economically effective, and even if it is, whether the evils resulting therefrom are not greater than the economic gain. In reading that proposition, we have a feeling that we are trying to put the whole industrial world into a test tube. The result would be interesting if it were possible to arrive at any result. If the department of commerce could be allowed to carry on this highly scientific investigation for a thousand years or so without a break, we might hope to get an answer to the question.

Fortunately for Mr. Redfield's peace of mind and tenure of office he has not tried to tell us how he is going to ascertain the conclusions desired, neither has he informed us as to what acids and alkalies he will use in the test. The commissioner of corporations, Mr. Daniels, suggests that congress should provide the following remedies: "A law" providing that there shall be a presumption that all restraints of trade are unreasonable and placing the burden of establishing the reasonableness of such restraint upon the party alleging it; legislation looking to fundamental charter provisions for every corporation doing inter state business; that stocks and bonds shall not be issued except for money or property at its true money value, preventing the watering of stocks; that corporations shall not hold stock in other competing companies, and that neither a person nor a corporation shall at the same time own a controlling interest in two or more competing corporations; and that the officers of corporations shall not be affiliated directly or indirectly by holding office in other corporations." It will be difficult even for a man of President Wilson's powers of resistance to stand against such a bombardment as the above. The thing to be noted is this, that all of these recom mendations expand, rather than contract, the debatable zone that fringes the Sherman anti trust law.

Opinions concerning them that are diametrically opposed may be held by conscientious and patriotic men who are anxious to find a practical solution to the trust problem. It seems to us that what we need first is a definition of principles and a statement of the functions of government in dealing with such matters. When a principle is once accepted its complete application must be only a matter of time. The first requirement today is an interpretation by congress of the ambiguous word "reasonable" that was imported into the trust question by the Supreme court. There is no doubt from President Wilson's utterances that he realizes this and will endeavor to obtain it.

'The resolve of the suffragetes to fight the income tax should not cause much apprehension The income tax does not seem to have many friends. As to Readers and Advertisers. Editor Barrett, of the Elmira Telegram, in an article explaining how daily newspapers in Scranton should be successfully conducted, makes the following statement: "The morning field is open to a real live paper that will cater more to readers and less to advertisers. The way to get such a paper paying is to charge a fair price for it fifty cents a month." In view of the experience of the writer of the above, the assertion is more than surprising. Those who have any knowledge of the advertising business know that the American advertiser looks at but one feature of the news paper.

And that is circulation. The solicitor who has no circulation behind his offering might as well talk to the moon expecting patronage as to the average mer chant in Scranton or any other city. It is useless to say that your readers are high class; that it costs a lot of money to get out the paper; that your journal is just the thing for his brand of goods. "What is your circulation?" is the first question asked. The advertiser does not care whether the paper sells for five cents, for two cents or for one cent.

He wants to know the number of readers who will see his advertisement each day. And he wants results. It is no longer possible to humbug the newspaper advertiser with fake circulation figures. He gets wise, sooner or later, to the publisher who takes chances of imprisonment by issuing false statements, and avoids the establishment that refuses to open its circulation books to all. The Tribune Republican, as the leading morning daily in Northeastern Pennsylvania, has given the adver tiser results.

It has given results because of its large circulation. In view of the fact that it has long been acknowledged to be the most complete morning newspaper published in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia, it is rather puzzling that the editor of the Telegram who knows the Scranton field so thoroughly, should say that the morning field is open to a "real, live paper that will cater more to readers and less to advertisers." It may be that the editor of the Telegram, who is quite well known as a humorist, is joking. None better than he knows what would become of a fifty cent a month newspaper enterprise in Scranton in competition with the penny papers now published. But the thousands of Tribune Republican readers who enjoy its columns each morning, and the hundreds of advertisers who are receiving results from its publicity columns each week, are pretty well satisfied with (he penny morning daily, thank you! A lot of ballet girls at Berlin have been discharged for refusing to dance barefooted and barelegged. The public ought to boycott the theatrical manager in that instance.

if No less an authority than Dr. James E. Russell, dean of the Teachers' college, of Columbia university, declares that we are conducting an anarchist breeding system of education. "What wonder," says Dr. Russell, "that our skilled craftsmen are foreigners, and that our best American boys become petty politicians or walking delegates or seekers after the soft places.

We do not teach them to do the day's work in such a way as td find pleasure and satisfaction in it. The result is grumbling and fault finding and discontent in private life, and in civil life the beginning of anarchism. How can you expect a nation long to endure that bends every effort to rouse ambitions and stir aspirations in the breasts of all its citizens up to the age of fourteen and then ruthlessly turns them out to shift for themselves? Is this the way to promote civil and social stability. No other civilized state follows a plan so manifestly suicidal as ours. No other people, so far as I know, gives so much heed to the mental training of its citizens and leaves to chance those matters which are really essential In life." This does not mean that every student leaving school is an embryo bomb thrower.

The students, however, are given tastes and ambitions in directions where few can be gratified. Dr. Russell continues: The greatest peril of our education today is that it promises an open door to every boy and girl up to the age of fourteen, and thei turna them ruthlessly into the world to find most doors not only closed but locked against them. Throughout this country we are telling thousands yes millions of boys and girls that anything they please may be had for the asking, and during the six or eight years of the school course they are instruct! that nothing is beyond attainment. "Then, too, our democratic notion of equality of opportunity is responsible for the attempt to hitch some very ordinary wagons to stars of the first magnitude.

The result can only be bitter disappointment. Instead of a happy, contented, able farmer, we make of the ambitious country boy a clerk or helper in some city industry or a cog in some factory wheel. Instead of helping the quick witted city boy, who leaves school at twelve or fourteen years of age wise beyond his years, to employ his mental strength in shortening the term of apprenticeship in the trades and in improving the quality of workman1" aUW bungle anead in nis effort8 to become a capable Most of the difficulties created by the present system would be avoided by adequate training in vocational lines. STROLLER'S NOTEBOOK As the result of a sudden realignment in the office of the county commissioners, John W. Howell awakened this morning county tax collector, a position that rumor, for several weeks past, had assigned to William G.

O'Malley, the retiring director of the department of public safety. Mr. Howell, a Democrat, had seldom been mentioned for the place, which he owes to the votes of Commissioners Morgan Thomas and Henry J. Butler. "Johnny" Howell, as he is best known is the son of Esdras Howell, deceased, who attained considerable prominence in politics as one of the few Welsh Democrats in the city.

The others were J. Alton Davis, attorney, dead these many years, and the late superintendent of schools, George Howell. Esdras Howell was clerking in a city store when he received the Democratic nomination for city comptroller. He ran like wild fire and made the election by a big majority. John Howell, as a boy, was employed in the office of the Scranton Republican, and when he had reached man's estate returned to the same newspaper in a more important capacity.

After the consolidation 'of the Tribune and the Republican Mr. Howell engaged in the real estate business. Two years ago he was an unsuccessful candidate for school comptroller. The collector ship of county taxes is the fattest plum within the gift of the county commissioners. Robert P.

Silverstein, private secretary to Mayor E. B. Jermyn, is a local product. Born on Penn avenue in 1888, he attended public school No. 36, where he graduated in 1904.

In 1912 he was graduated from Cornell universtiy. Since then he has been attending the Columbia law school where he finished his course last week. He will take the final examinations in June and the state board test in July. It Is expected that he will be admitted to practice in the local courts in October. All during his scholastic career, Mr.

Silverstein attained high honors in study and oratory. While in the Central High school he did notable work in winning the annual debates with the Wllkes Barre High school. At Cornell he received honorable mention among the entire student body. His ability was again recognized in Columbia, less than a week ago he being selected as toastmaster of his law class banquet. Mr.

Silverstein is the son of Mrs. B. Silverstein, and a brother of Dr. N. Silverstein, of Wyoming avenue.

He has always been a leader and prominent worker In local Jewish affairs, at present being an honorary member of the Literarians an contributing editor to the Argus, the local magazine of the Young Men's Hebrew association. The feature etory of the current issue of the Tech Monthly, the official organ of the students of the Technical High school of Scranton, is a review of "Some Christmas Rnoka." bv Henrietta Hoskins, of the1 class of 1914.

Among the works to which she devotee particular attention are Irvins's 'Sketch Book," "The Bird's Christmas Carol," by Kate Douglass Wiggin, and several books by Dickens, particularly the "Christmas Carol," in which Old Scrooge figures.
