Watt Shand. TheMid-SummerSale AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS. The State at a Glance as Viewed Through Our Exchanges. The Doylestown Intelligencer notes the gratifying fact that farm land is picking up in value in Bucks county Records at the Court House show that-farms are more in demand this year than they have been for a long time. Up to this time it was small lots along trolley roads which sold well, but now a great number of city folks are turning their steps countryward and paying good prices for the land they buy.

In support of Its contention the Intelligencer points to a farm that sold last year at $3,000 and which has just brought $5,000. Founded 1877, by John B. Warfel and J. M. W.

According to the despatches from the Wild West, "Mr. Dahlman will be ac compafiied by his quartet of singers. He also will take with him the famous rope with which he noosed Mr. Bryan when the Commoner landed In America from his trip abroad.

He will be dressed after the fashion of the range rider, and he will be prepared to brand all the political mavericks In the big States on the Atlantic coast. Mayor Dahlman's aggregation will no doubt present a very picturesque spectacle, but it may not be a successful one. We remember how another Westerner, Dennis Kearney, the sand lot orator, came among us to stir the people of the effete East to do great things. But he Boon found his ribald oratory w'as offensive to the Eastern people, and he went home a thorough- $3.50 Values; Sale Price, $1.75. A big lot of pretty Jumper Dresses fresn from the maker.

GREAT MID-SUMMER Rubberized CoatSr The Harrisburg Patriot says that the sum of $1,085,476.60 was collected In taxes in Harrisburg and Dauphin county between June 1, 1907, and June 1, 1908, according to a tabulated statement completed Thursday by John H.

Strock, chief clerk "to the County Commissioners. Of the total sum of taxes collected in the city and county Harrisburg contributed $641,820.50, or considerably over half. Unlontown has the unique distinction among the boroughs of the county of assessing no borough tax for the construction of its roads, repairs of its streets or bridges. The tax collected from the hotel licenses Is sufficient to keep the roads and bridges In repair. ly disgusted and defeated We also remember how, during one of his campaigns, Mr.

Bryan himself "Invaded the enemys territory with "his cross of gold and crown of thorns speech, and how the people who went to hear him refused to be converted, and returned to their homes more than ever determined to vote the Republican ticket, and they did so, much to the chagrin and disgust of Mr. Bryan. It is true, many of our people take a look at the cowboys and their exhilarating amusements about once a year, on circus day, but that tides them over the whole season, so that we consider it more than likely that they might not extend to the Cowboy Mayor the hearty greeting he expects.

quality at 89c. Frank H. Hitchcock, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, stopped in Chicago on Friday en route to Colorado Springs, Col-, where he will confer with the Republican managers in the States west of the Missouri. In discussing the political situation Mr. Hitchcock said that the hardest battles would have to be fought west of the Missouri River and that he planned to secure the benefits of political assets never before available for the reason that State Chairmen confined their efforts in the past to their own territory.

Mr. Hitchcock will try to bring them together in the matter of getting speakers and so far as possible wipe out the State lines in carrying on the campaign. "We want to show the people that we are at work and mean business, said Mr. Hitchcock. There is not a State that will be neglected; not a State that will be abandoned to the other party.

The opinion was expressed by Mr. Hitchcock that the East is pretty safe for Mr. Taft, and on that account he said that he may devote much of his time to the West, with headquarters at Chicago. This will not be determined, however, until after the conference with State leaders. One of the marked political events of the day is the development in the West of the anti-Bryan movement among employes of Western railroads.

Already 15,000 railroaders in Nebraska alone are members of the organization which has just ben formed, and the movement has now spread to other States. Democrats see In the new organization a militant force which will work great harm to the Bryan vote in the West at the coming election. Mr. Bryan is reported as being great ly chagrined when Col. James Guffey announced that as a Democrat he would support the ticket named by a Democratic National Convention.

"I thought, said Bryan to a National Committeeman at Lincoln on Tuesday, "that my assault would drive Guffey out of the party. Col. Guffey was first elected as Democratic Na tlonal Committeeman for Pennsylvania in 1900 at the personal request of Mr. Bryan, who wrote scores of personal letters to the effect that they must elect Guffey over William F. Harrity.

Guffey then as now wfas a corporation man. Guffey and others in the committee, it is now stated, intend to retain their interest in the Democratic State Committee, and furthermore they are to take a great hand in a reorganization of the party "after Bryans third defeat In November." Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, disgusted with the antics of the galleries at the Denver Convention, has expressed himself In favor of reducing the number of delegates one-half and holding national conventions in halls seating no more than 2,500 persons. He says; "Of all the Idiotic performances on the face of the earth in modern times national conventions are the worst. You can no more deliberate In one of them than you could In ft boiler factory. Nominating a President and Vice President and formulating a platform is one of the most serious and Important functions among men, and a national convention should he held for that purpose and not to entertain a miscellaneous multitude.

It is the galleries that furnish the senseless forty-nine-minute and eighty-elx-minute "demonstrations. At Denver the galleries at one time took full possession of th6 convention and voted down a motion to take a recess. At Chicago the galleries, being tired and uncomfortable, shouted down the Governor of Indiana, who was presenting the name of Mr. Fairbanks as a candidate for President. The national convention is practically mob-ruled.

if The end of the second week for the public play grounds in Scranton indicates, says the Republican of that city, that they are becoming more popular every day. There are five play groundsopen, and -the-attendance at all of them for the weeks was 15,389, or an average of 3,090 and over for each. Physical Director Jackson told a Republican reporter that the figures, compared with those of other cities, where recreation centers are In existence, are nothing short of remarkable. The report, he added, ought to convince the citizens of the vast amount of good that the playgrounds are doing in keeping such a large number of children off the streets. OUR MUNICIPAL SHOWING.

The visit to Lancaster of the leading officials and prominent citizens of Harrisburg, as gue6ts of our Board of Trade, Is, aside from Its Boclal aspect, calculated to work mutual good by the Interchange of ideas and suggestions in the line of city develop-1 ment and city government. The State Capital has been taking the lead in certain directions worthy of emulation, but we are not of those who think It is necessary to depreciate our own city in order to show a proper appreciation of the good work being done by our neighbors, an unfortunate weakness which has been developed in certain quarters. We believe we are well within the bounds of truth in the statement that taken as a whole Lancaster can make as good showing in all that makes for comfortable, healthful living as any city in our State, and in this statement we do not except the Capital City. Certainly it would be a serious reflection on the judgment of any person who, if not compelled by circumstances, would prefer Harrisburg to Lancaster as a place of residence. Harrisburg has In recent years developed an unusually fine park system, for which she Is entitled to a great degree of credit, but, as one of the leading members of the visiting party one of the three gentlemen of Harrisburg who had personal charge of the expenditure of the million dollars voted by the people of that city for water and park purposes remarked after being taken around our city, Lancaster does not stand in the same need of park aa did Harrisburg.

Here almost every property has a lot a miniature park of Its own, kept in tidy, attractive style; In Harrisburg the houses of the working classes the great majority of the people are erected on hundred-foot lots, backing against each other, without a pretense of a grass plot, a flower garden, or breathing space. While we fully appreciate the desirability of public parks the more the better un der all circumstances Lancasters need In this direction, when her surroundings are considered, is probably not as great as that of some of her Sister cities. The only other respect in which the Capital City can claim any superiority over Lancaster is in the extent to which she has carried her permanent atreet improvements. Her citizens, in addition to paying a higher tax on a much higher valuation than Lancaster, have been willing to hear the extra expense of permanent street im- It A paragraph going the rounds of the local press tells how Mr. Jacob F.

Hershey, residing near the borough of Mt. Joy, has so far during the present year taken 4,100 pounds of honey from the 120 colonies of bees he has on his premises. That there is money in the business seems very clear, as Mr. Hershey has been at It for flfty-two years. Formerly much more honey was made in Lancaster county than now.

There was a flourishing Bee Keepers Association, whose meetings were well attended, twenty-five years ago. Yet our people are too busy with tobacco, politics and what not to cultivate bees, which, if given a fair show, will work for nothing, find themselves, and turn over their surplus earnings to their owners.

A representative of the New York concern which purchased the bonds told the city authorities that he considered that the people of Franklin had gotten a big bargain in the water plant at $260,000. He had been over the books of the company and knew whereof he spoke.

He said he considered the plant very cheap at that price and declared that the city had acquired the plant in the manner prescribed by law It would have been compelled to pay a much larger sum. When Mr. Bryan ran for Congress the first time his vote was 32,376, as against 25,663 for his Republican opponent a majority of 6,713. When he ran the aecond time, two years later, bis majority dwindled to 140. That settled It.

When election time came along two year later Mr. Bryan announced that he would not be a candidate. He was wise in time, and got out of tbe storm before the rain began to fall. Then he tried to make his way into the Senate of the United States, but the Legislature of Nebraska would not have him, and was not until then that he turned Divorced From Second, Goes Back To First Hubby.

The reople of that country have never forgotten nor forgiven the partition of their country In 1772, 1793 and 1795, and we hope they never will. Under the circumstances, what Is to be looked for but undying hatred for the oppressors, who have for a hundred years tried to make the arm of their sovereignty as oppressive and offensive as possible? Assassination Is not to be condoned, but If there ever was an Instance where it was defensible the case of the Poles seems to be that one.

Jl 2ind to to to provements. The entire cost, except for the diamonds and the spaces between the tracks on those streets where the car lines operate, is borne by the abutting property owners, not paid for, as Is done in Lancaster, out of the general fund, reducing by that much the amount available for other purposes. It la only fair to atate that the policy of taxing abutting property owners for the permanent street Improvements la the one that is being adopted generally by cities, anj it would seem as if Lancaster must come to it if any general and extensive system of paring Is to be carried out It should be added that the prop, erty orners of Harrisburg and other cities are more than satisfied with their investment in this respect, and the returns received from the enhancement of values. It la the experience of Harrisburg in the line of atreet paving that the city fund to defray the expense of laying t.ie diamonds la invariably inadequate to meet the demands made by the property owner anxious to bear their larger share of the expense. Lancaster's experience would doubtless be the same.

We have b-rd a great deal from time to time about a Greater Lancaster. The question of extending the bounds of our municipality la one that should enlist the interest of all our citizens. As has been stated heretofore, however, the matter 1 one that must, have its Initiative among the people desiring to become a part of the city corporation. When they have taken the proper steps, the city wlI doubtless do Its share In cementing the compart. Within her legal boun darlea Lancaster will then have a population exceeding 50.000, and already supplied, as we are, with the lest homes, the bt water, the best surroundings tomri by any city in the State, can move on to still better thing.
