SCRANTON, JUNE 8, 1914.. Civic Pride Looks to Better Things in Municipal Control. STREET SPRINKLING The council is right The electric railway companies making use of the thoroughfares of Scranton ought to winkle the streets over which their cars pass. They can do this easily, at a minimum of expense. They owe that much to.

the people of the city from which they have secured franchises practically free from cent. There i not the slightest Jbf the power of council to enforce jthls provision of the city ordinances so far as the Northern Electric con pany is concerned. It acceptstf its franchise in 1904 subject to the provisions of all city ordinances t.icri in force. Tha Scranton i pany vouid popularize itself ly tng along even if there is a i'ustion of the right of the city to enforce the fequirements, which council believes is not the case. The sprinkling of streets would be incentive to more pleasure seekers to patronize the trolley care.

It would render them free from dust and make riding on the warm, rainless daye of Summer a delight, if cars, in their passage 'along well traveled thorough fares stir up great clouds of dust to get Into the eyes, and cover the faces and clothing of patrons, trolley riding becomes 'a trial instead of, a pleasure vi.i tin ve attempted by many Who can fini other forms of diventoe Hient. jj. This is a matter in which the wishes of the people should be permitted to prevail, regardless of any technical questions that might be raised. They want the streets sprinkled and city officials and public service 'corporation? should bow to their mandate. WrBy all accounts thro' jn Tennessee.

Rye is comin' WILKES BARRE PARKS I It pleasea The Tribune Republican to note that the people of our sister city of Wilkes Barre are active in park and playground work but they are not finding their task easy. Campaigns of education are necessary before the people will be aroused With regard to this matter and will realize in full the benefits that will tome to them from recreation centers, Wt ideas are broadening and much better things can be expected in the hear future, Park" Supervisor Seybold has Just made his report to Superintendent Morgan, in charge of this branch of city activities, it shows that much is being done in the way of providing handsomer parka and playgrounds With better facilities for the children. 1 Trees have been planted, also jshrubs and flower beds. Two stone plllam and a memorial stone to George gi Bennett have been placed at the Frances Slocum playground. The ptiyground building has been repaired and provided with shrubs ami flow era.

Thai useful has been combined with the beautiful. Yes, Wilkes Barre is progressing in both playground and park work. Scranton will have to look to her laurels In this respect or its sister city will pazs it in advanced movements looking to the health of ita people, and particularly its children. Hero medal candidate: The policeman who held Emmelihe Pank hurst in his FOOLISH Resolutions have been adopted by the Illinois Bar association condemning lawyers "who try their 'cases in the There is a hint of disbarment for the worst offenders. Cn its face, this action seems foolish.

In most cases of the kind referred to at the Illinois meeting, the newspaper are at fault, IF THERE IS ANY FAUW, which is doubtful. The reporters are determined to get the news and they keep after the lawyers until it is forthcoming. Publicity is a cure for many evils, and it la well that the newspapers give Proper prominence to cases In which there to public interest. Many abuses are prevented in this way. Not only do the Illinois resolutions seem foolish, but they are somewhat ambiguous.

They fall to set forth with sufficient clearness the practices they are intended to condemn. If lawyers make misleading statements to" newspaper, if they misrepresent facts, and lead self respecting Jour, nals into error, of course they should be condemned like all other wrong Vtra But we have no avmoatny with, the archaic proportion of the Illinois Bar association that publicity often de feats the ends of Justice. History tells what kind of Justice we shouM have were not the limelight of newspaper attention thrown upon all matters of public importance. The wisest men of the country, time and again, have told us that publicity Is the. most effective remedy for some of the country's grossest pvite.

In the conservation of publio and private morals there is no greater force In the land thaiv a well conducted newspaper. FIRE PROTECTION Every person irt the country should be informed of the gist of the bulletin Just issued by the National Fire Protection association giving good advice with regard to a "safe and sane Fourth." It calls attention to greai lnc. flro tmards resulting the "use of explosives near wooden buildings and to the advisability of clearing away all rub bish from the vicinity of buildings before the day of slaughter and burning arrives. This movement should be in connection with the one to offer greater protection to life and limb. It is well to give heed to both the humane and business sides of this question.

The pocketbook eivd of the matter is a very serious proposition In Scranton where we are seeking hy every means in our power to build up instead of destroy. Of course, even where precautions re taken against them, some fires will appear. The greatest of care will not prevent all accidents'. But, if people look after their 'premises ou July 4 and seek to restrain the reckless, at least fifty per cent, of the acci. dents and fifty per cent, of the fires will be eliminated.

Hundreds of lives and millions of dollars worth of property will be safeguarded. The timely appeal of the fire protectionists, issued thus early, will leave little excuse for those who fail to give heed to the warnings. Certain it is that it is going to prove helpful to those most intimately concerned. Some wise man once remarked that each year brings a new crop of fools. Unkind as this may appear to some it is true.

They are never more conspicuous than on the Fourth. It is most unfortunate that their pranks are calculated to do mor harm to others than to themselves, although they do not always escape the consequences of their folly. But, they make it incumbent upon the authorities to safeguard the' mass against their violations of reasonable regulations. This cannot be made really effective unless there is. cordial cooperation on the' part of the public, which should eet its face against the more, dangerous customs that many erroneously regard as the cor 1 rect waiy to observe the dawn of Ame.

rect way to observe the dawn of American independence. THIS IS BETTER This is better. More optimism is prevailing in both business and financial circles. The improvement is not as great as we might wish, but it is noticeable. It is bringing cheer, to many who feared that a change for the better would not come for a long while.

The natural prosperity of the country, added to the prospects bounteous crops have discounted all adverse influences, and are making for better times. The review of Dun Co. says that advices from all of the leading com merlal centers are more favorable. The improved sentiment is reflected in the increase in the volume of trade! Of course, warmer weather has helped. 1 The New England dispatches are particularly favorable, showing the mills and factories more actively employed.

There has been less idle machinery and a marked increase in the number of orders placed with manufactories. There has been a larger distribution of footwear and a healthier tone to the dry goods business. Better inquiry is noted in the case of wool. There is a favorable feature to the Iron and steel business, too, in the recent buying of pig iron by the leading castiron pipe Interests. Bank exchanges are larger than for the corresponding period of last year, but gross railway earnings show a curtailment.

Henry Clews, in his financial letter, attributes some of the recent adverse conditions to absence of business initiative. Lack of confidence in the men in charge of the affairs of the government and In the policies of the government are to blamo for that. However, Mr. Clews finds that during the week there has been a dlspo tion to take a hopeful view of the future. Economy, In various directions has been pushed to the starving point, particularly In the case of the railways, which socner or later must pome Into the market for rails and equipment.

Tha easy conditions of money exert a good inffuiice. There Is plenty of money, Mr Clews says, awaiting profitable investment. The Bach Itevit corroborates the other with regard to a more op. timistlc sentiment and hupts for bet tre things in the nenr future. Travelers who have written of Mexico's interesting ruins should go back and see what they Minted.

Education For 1 he People Counting the Cost of Farming. Ev Geo. H. Fisher. In the schools Massachusetts, in the agricultural courses the boys are taught agriculture in a very practical way.

They study the theory of agriculture in the schools and practice It at home. Whether in city or on the farm the study of agriculture has a good effect. On the farm it makes scientific farmers who know; what they are doing and make money out of their farms where others would lose. An essential feature of the home project or pan time plan of training is the consideration of cost at all points. The boy by this method learns first all through his own experience that there can be no product without cost and no profit without excess of receipts over all expenditures.

After mch an experience he will not be likely to undertake a new enterprise without a serious Fttempt to estimate accurately his probable profit. The boy is subjected to the prevailing economic onnrfitinna under which the home farm must yield a worK. Hie methoas by which the boy iU.

STROLLER'S NOTEBOOK Everybody knows Bill Steinke, the big hearted, sunny tempered sketch artist and cartoonist of The Tribune Republican Truth. The other night he attended the banquet of the Men's Hibie class of the Second Presbvter ian church.

He drew a particularly striking picture, repealing good likenesses of some of the men prominent at the dinner, But, somehow, he fell into error. Now the people know ihat Steinke attends more banquets than any other man in the city. Of course he always has an eye to business when he is there. But he enjoys them alH part'icularly the "eats His robust physique needs a lot of nour fshment. The intense energy in his make up requires something to feed on.

So he invariably plays havoc with the good things set before him. He can always eat his share and the share of anyone else who, for some reason or other, fails to attend. The other evening Steinke, through some unexplainable inadvertence, in his picture, placed in front of Art Wid dowfield a vast variety of dishes which were really clustered about Stelnkes plate. Widdowfleld says he would not have cared if he had been furnished all of the good things, but he had no chsnce to get them with the popular Steinke around. 4 Although rejoicing fn the fact that promotion has come to him.

the many Scranton friends of George E. Bates will regret his departure from this city to take up his new position with the Delaware and Hudson company. As industrial agent of the company his headquarters will be at Albany. N. Y.

As division passenger agent of the Delaware and Hudson company in Scranton, Mr. Bates earned his promotion. He has been very faithful and efficient in the performance of his duties, and. In addition', a wideawake, loyal citizen of Scranton, who identified himself actively with all of this city's greater movements. He did all he could in the way of advancing our sister city of Wilkes Barre, too.

He holds a membership ln the Scran, ton of Trade, the W'ilkes Barre Chamber of Commerce, the Scranton club, Westmoreland club, the Hones dale Board of Trade, the Green Ridge club and the. Masonic fraternities. A graduate of the Drexei Institute of Philadelphia, Mr. Bates had a long railway experience before accepting his position in Scranton. H.

B. Weath erwax, whom Mr. Bates succeeds, becomes vice president of (he Bluff Point Land Improvement company and Fort William Henry company, subsidiaries of the Delaware and Hudson: also general superintendent of the Chateguay Ore and Iron company and vice president in charge of operations of the Chatnplaln Transportation company and he Lake George Steamship company. Of course, Councilman Daniel Campbell will never pay a fine for being ill. He made this very plain at the last meeting of council and the other members of council agreed with him.

There is a provision of a city ordinance to ths effect that when members absent themselves from council meetings they shall be "docked" the amount of pay due them for attending a session. Of course, this was put in the city ordinance to penalise absenteeism. Its purpose Is to discourage willful neglect of city business by the publia servants elected for the purpose of looking after it as closely as they would their own personal affaire. But, during his long absence from the sessions, MW Campbell, as he'says, was flat on his hack, worse than that, at death's doon Under the circumstances, if would' be wrong to penalize him. Man cannot he blamed for nearly dying.

Mr. Campbell Is goiiyt jto get his salary and ithe people are content that it la ao. a Tn' the' window of Kauffman gent's furnishing store, on Spruce street, appears a picture showing Col i onel Roosevelt in four Doses, the cap tion of the series of illustrations be ing "Same Old Smile." 8ince the picture wae displayed there has been much comment on the fact that In one of his noses, in whieh hie smile is most genial, the likeness of Colonel Roosevelt hears a marked resem blance to Dr. J.

For several days I missed the pleas ant face of James O.

Reardon. of the American company from the streets of Scranton. Meeting him yesterday I asked where he had been ad was Informed that he was just back from Erie, where he had gone to attend the state convention of the Postei Advertising association. There was a large assemblage of men from all parts nf the state, the sessions being held at theReld house. On Friday the visiting delegates were entertain' ed at luncheon by the Erie Advertls ine club, with which a number ot "live wires" are connected.

While in Erie Mr. Reardon took occasion to visit the old flagship of Commodore Perry, the Niagara, which was raised for the Perry centennial celebration, after being immersed In Lake Erie for ninety eight years. It was also Mr. Reardon's pleasure to go over the replicas of the three Columbus vessels the Nina, the Pinto and the Santa Maria. All of these vessels are being repaired previous to being taken to the Panama Paeinc exposition at San Francisco.

In the opinion of Mr. Reardon, Erie Is one of the finest cities In Pennsylvania, THE STROLLER.

Sir: It seems very unfortunate that the public is so apathetic concerning the buildlna line conditions this city. Anyone who passes Adams avenue and Vine street cannot but te distressed with the way in a ren oatled building las been ercile I upon the sidewalk, apparently to the defiance of all regulations and precedents. Nothing quite as flagrant has been attempted in the residence districts i. nmazine that no injunctions ii.i. mewA in nrevent such dis figuration as well as inconvenience to Even strangers who note the situation express wonder that the city officials will permit such an outrage.

The latest act on the part of the builders of this structure, however, is the most disturbing. They have cut down several trees of large size that have required from fifteen to twenty Ave years to reach thei splendid heighV and have chopped them up for wood. The worst phase of his sort of hinr i itidt it naves the way for others vho have little puallc cp'rit and taste to destroy other streets and trees. What, is to prevent our fw handsome shade trees from being cut up into mine props? What Is to prevent any mercenary person who happens to get into control of real estate here to deface and depreciate property in this same fashion? It seems to me that the women should protest vigorously about this matter; If the men are not enough Interested to care. Certainly if there are no ordinances to cover the ease we should use our influence at once to secure legislation that will protect our city.

Tonrs truly, EFFIE H. WATRES. Shade Tree Protection. The City Improvement association started a movement to protect shads trees of the streets and also was instrumental ln having hundreds planted, as well as making provisions for the building line restraint in a city plan made by John Nolen, of Boston. At that time consultation with the city solicitor and other authorities shows that a decision given by a Lackawanna county Judge that permitted 'building on the ten foot reservation.

Building Inspector E. Walter whn interviewed yesterday told of the meetings between himself and the owner of the building complained of in ths above matter. "I told him," said Mr. Walter, "that nobody ought to build out like that In a residence district. I also told him that he must keep distinctly to the edge of the ten foot privilege and not an inch beyond.

He had drawn pKnf to have a cornice extending six Inches further, but I made him go back. I have fought against this encroachment evr since I have been in The building Is owned by E. 3. Pavldow, of Wilkes Barre. One authority of high repute said yesterday: "The only thing you womn can do Is to secure the passage of an act ot assembly that will define forever after the building line of the city of Scranton.

At present you can get no help from the courts. Tou will have to get legislation first. You ought to do It." Horses aa Hot Weather. Editor Tribune Republican. Sir: I want to record my protest along with the 'protest of The Tribune Republican against the elimination of the horse trough.

Ths few days or extreme heat we have had convinced ine that it would be an act of Inhuman cruelty to eliminate these thirst slaking facilities that ars of such direct benen. to the hard working animals. Let me give an Instance: Standing; on a prominent thoroughfare ths other, afternoon during the copious thunder shower that broke over the was a dejected looking white nag attached to a delivery wagon, from which the driver had evidently gone In search of shelter. As. the water poured In a stream down tha gutter the horse struggled ip vain reach it, but was prevented iby that Implement of torture the check rein.

It grieved me to see the beast strain to reach the water that was pouring beneath his feet. He would raise his head as ii to gather strength, and then make a mighty effort, his mouth 'being held back at least a foot from the refresh ins; draught for which he craved, Later the driver appeared, apparently unconscious or unmindful, ot the horse's nesda for he quickly drove away. It was a piteous seene, Indeed, to see this struggling for ths water he could not reach and In which he was standing. It is all well enough for the state authorities to endeavor to prevent the spread of disease, but If, In so doing, they are going to Inflict torture en the horses, then we had better have the glanders, which at the worst Is not a serious msnece.
