It Is a wonderful thing, a mother. Other folks can love you, but only your mother understands you; she works for you, looks after you, loves you, forgives you. Baroness von Hutten. Swat the fly, but also swab their breeding places. President Wilson has let it bo un derstood that he knows just how the tariff problem should bo solved, and It will be solved that way, by gum, or someone will stay in after school. It seems that The Citizen was in error in announcing that the Memor ial Day address at the cemetery would be delivered by Homer Greene. Mr. Greene wishes us to announce that Chas. P. Searle, Esq., will be the orator of the day. REWARD FOR FIRE BUGS. It appears from the number of mysterious fires that have occurred in Honesdale during the past few years somo action ought to be tak en by the borough council along lines of property protection. A re ward of some kind, in the opinion of The Citizen, should bo offered to capture if possible parties who, it would seem evident, are setting Are to Honosdale's leading business houses. war resulting over the difficulties, "As regards the agitation and ex citements in Japan which followed the situation in California," says The Outlook, "those who are inclined to exaggerate the facts may with bene fit read these words from a newspa per Interview with Captain Uyeno, a military attache of the Japanese Embassy in London: "Such a thing as war between America and Japan," said Captain Uyeno, "is impossible. Such a thing will never happen. There Is a war element, If you care to call It that, In all countries, but the best element in Japan, as in all other countries, is for peace, and Japan to-day entertains nothing but the friendliest feelings for the United States." HARRISBURG LETTER The growth of 'New York City is now calculated at about 140,000 a year, which Is easily the greatest rate of expansion ever known in -any ur ban centre in any part of the world. The increase in New York's popula tion is equal to the gains of Chicago,. Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Pitts burg, Baltimore and Buffalo all tak en together. It beats Greater Lon don, taking into account the whole British metropolis, by at least forty or fifty per cent. al boroughs and townships of the state in proportion to the number of miles of public Btreets ana roaus in each borough and township, for per manent street and road Improvement. If the bill becomes a law, It will go into effect December 1, this year, and the distribution of the road fund will bo made on the first of April each year, beginning in 1915. Bv a vote of 121 to 42 the house passed finally the Thomas bill pro viding for an additional law judgo for Luzerne county. Tho bill now goes to tho Senate. Governor Toner announced Friday his approval of a bill to regulate cold storage business in Pennsylva nia, a measure which was the result of a compromise of numerous cold storage bills presented in the legis lature. Under its terms the state dairy and food division will have au thority to mako inspection of cold storage plants, which must take out state license; establishes periods in which foods may be kept in stor age, and provides mat an packages must contain dates or entry ana withdrawal and be marked "whole some cold storage food." Jail sen tences are provided for violators of tho act in addition to fines. The act is to take effect In ninety days. The governor signed soven other bills and vetoed four. Other bills signed: 'Requiring third class cities to ap point boiler Inspectors. Permitting beneficiaries of frater nal relief societies t6 bequeath bene fits to charitable institutions. The governor vetoed the Ambler bill authorizing first class township commissioners to establish lights on state highways. The governor thinks this would interfere with con trol of state roads. He also vetoed tho bill creating a forestry department in second class cities, saying the cities now have full power to acquire and govern parks and protect shade trees. The governor vetoed the bill creating a forestry department In second class cities and the bill au thorizing first class township com missioners to establish lights on stato highways. POPULAR PROF. TAFT. Prof. Taft will be compelled to hang a sign ''Standing Room Only" outside the door of his classroom tomorrow when ho delivers his first regular lecture to students of Yale. The course In Constitutional law has been chosen by 154 seniors, nearly double tho number of those who elected it a year ago. This is a fine tribute to the per sonal popularity of tho former Presi dent (divorced from politics), as well as to his legal learning, and it is paid by a set of young men quick to know on sight a hall fellow well met. Of all the courses at Now Haven given by individual professors only one is taken by more than 154 stu dents, and that Is William Lyon Phelps' course In Tennyson and Browning, which attracts 1G0. Bos ton Globe. WHAT WILL BE THE REPLY? A tentative draft of the reply of the United States Government to the Japaneso protest against the Cali fornia land legislation, which has been prepared by Mr. Moore, coun sellor of the Stato Department, is being considered by President Wil son and his cabinet. Tho nature of the reply is being held secret and Secrotary Bryan refuses to discuss eithor the proposed reply or Japan's protest. It Is believed that tho State De partment is awaiting tho action of Governor Johnson upon tho Allen Land bill, either In tho hope that ho might at tho last moment chango his mind and veto tho measure, or, more probably, with the purpose of having the approved act as a basis for further discussion. Tho Japanese Government like wise is awaiting final action with tho keenest interest, indicating anothor move forward In the negotiations as soon as the bill has been signed. While protesting against tho Cali fornia legislation, tho Japanese Gov ernment so far has suggested no remedy. That is left entirely to the United States. While the yellow Journals of both countries are trying to make trouble between tho two countries, there is very little likelihood of a Harrisburg. Governor Tenor on Thursday last vetoed the Neely bill authorlzinn municipalities to pur chase the entire capital stock and bonds of bridKe companies owning bridges situated wholly or partly within the limits of such municipal! ties and exempting from taxation such stocks and bonds owned by any municipalities. This is one of the measures sent to the legislature by Mayor Magee, of Pittsburg, and is tho third of that executive's measures to receive the governor s disapproval The governor approved the Scott bill enlarging the powers of mutual savings, fund or building and loan associations. The measure author izes such associations to do the fol lowing things: To set aside from the net profits a sum not to exceed five per cent, thereof each year, as a reserve fund for payment of contingent losses, un til the total amount of tho fund shall equal five per cent, of tho assets, The dividend or Interest payable on voluntary withdrawal cannot be re duced. To permit members, when loans aro granted to secure the repayment by giving to the association straight bond and mortgage on real estate for a fixed period not to ex ceed one-half of tho loan. To provide in the by-laws that loans shall be made first to members of the association or to persons in tending to become members who bid the highest premiums and it is made lawful for tho borrower to agree in writing to pay a premium not to ex ceed 2 per cent, a year upon the amount of tho loan in addition to the interest, without bidding for prefer ence. Such associations may loan money to other similar associations on In terest bearing note or bond. The amount to bo loaned any ono asso ciation is limited to 10 per cent, of the assets and the aggregate to 25 per cent, of assets. The governor also approved the Kaiser bill authorizing counties to appropriate moneys for monuments or memorials in memory of the sold lors, sailors and marines of the Span ish-American war, who sorved on for eign soil prior to July 4, 1003. Tho North bill authorizing tho sec retary of agriculture to appoint ten citizens qualilicd by actual experi ence, as special instructors in tho science of agriculture and demon strators of approved agricultural methods. The act appropriates $40,- uuu to carry it into eirect. The governor also signed the Gib son bill, authorizing county commis sioners to appropriate $1,500 a year for agricultural extension work in co-operation with Stato college, In encouraglpg improved methods of farm management and home econo mics. Tho money is to bo expended according to regulations provided by the county commissioners. It is estimated that between $C, 000,000 and $8,000,000 annually would bo raised by the stato If the Grabe bill, passed finally Thursday afternoon by the house, should bo- come a law. The vote was 105 to 73. But it is almost a foregone con clusion that those in tho senate who ropresent vested interests will not al-r low tho bill to pass tho upper body. Tho bill provides that the state authorities levying and collecting taxes shall, as provided under exist ing laws, levy and collect an addi tional special tax of ono mill for street and road purposes on personal property, capital stock and bonds of corporations, joint stock associations, campanies, limited partnerships. gross earnings of corporations, bank ers, brokers and foreign insurance companies which are now taxed for state purposes, Including the capital stock and bonds of companies, lim ited co-partnerships and corporations engaged in manufacturing and brew ing. There is a provision which ex empts mortgages, and judgments. Such taxes are to be distributed under the direction of tho state high way commissioner among the sever- TO LET SENATE HAVE LATITUD It May Anient Tariff Bill With out Opposition.

DISCONTINUANCE OF TUBERCULOSIS LETTERS Tho Citizen is in receipt of a let ter from Karl do Schweinitz, execu tive secretary of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuber culosis, of Philadelphia, thanking this paper for Its co-operation In the matter of fighting against this awful plaguo and giving space to the pub lication of Mr. Schweinltz's interest ing letters. The letter appearing in this issue of The Citizen is tho last communi cation that Mr. Schweinitz will write as secretary of the above organiza tion, having accepted a position as secretary of one of New York City's Charity societies. Quoting from Mr. Schweinltz's letter, he says: " I appreciate very deeply the cor dial way in which you have support ed the campaign against tuberculos is. The schools and the newspapers aro the best allies, not only of tho public health movement, but of all things which for their success depend upon the attention of tho people, Mr. Keeley, of the Chicago, Tribune, expressed this idea so well that I could not help Including it in my last article." NEWSPAPER IDEALS. There is no greater force for good to-day than the newspaper. James Keeley, Managing Editor of the Chi cago Tribune, has well defined mod ern newspaper Ideals in the follow ing paragraphs: ' Tho big development of tho modern newspaper will be along lines of personal service. The newspaper that not only informs and instructs Its readers, but is of service, is the ono that commands attention, gets circulation, and also holds its read ers after it gets them. Tho newspa per must bo of service to-day, not only in politics and morals not only as it has been in tho past in fighting the battles of the people against ty rants and in holding them in check when they have been tempted to re venge outrages, but it must be of so cial service. It must not only plead with the people to swat the crook but must also urge them to swat tho fly. "It must not only help In the fighting for a clean city but must aid the clergy and others In the light for a clean home. It must not only reach patriotism but must show the folly of tho annual massacre on July 4 th a slaughter doubly horrible be cause it is done in the name of patri otism. It must enter into the every day life of its readers and like the parish priest, be guide, counselor, and friend. I have often thought that a newspaper can most closely realize its real mission tho nearer it comes to attaining tho ideals of tho parish priest and the clergyman in his ministrations to his flock. And the newspaper's flock Is often num bered in the hundreds or thousands." All social work, and especially the campaign against tuberculosis, owes much to the co-operation of the newspapers and this co-operation is heartily appreciated. Karl do Sch weinitz, Executive Secrotary, Penn sylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. SPRAY TO KILL CATERPILLAR People traveling over the country tho past week were amazed at tho number of worm's nests in tho fruit trees. Ono observer, an old rest dent, declared that ho saw trees that contained from 15 to 20 nests, and the sight of the orchards is deplor able, especially as nothing seems to be doing towards destroying the crawling, disgusting, destructive things. A vigorous fight, put up at this season may save tho fruit and foliage. ERIE ELEVATOR BURNS. 'Buffalo, N. Y. The Erie elevator, one of the largest grain elevators at this port, was destroyed by lire on Friday. Tho firemen had a hard time fighting to keep the flames from spreading to the shipping In the harbor. The flames reached tho freight houses and railroad yards, where a string of freight cars was burning. The elevator contained 700.000 bushels of grain. The loss will exceed. $1,000,000. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, May 10. Special. Tho senate will be permitted considera ble latitudo In amending tho tariff bill without provoking much opposition by those who drafted tho measure. "Tho scnato has a right to Its say as well as ourselves,' said Chairman Underwood. "But if they undertako to mako tho bill un-Democratlc we will go to the coun try beforo wo will submit Thoro may be changes which tho senato "will find necessary and which wo will agreo to when they are pointed out. There are somo classifications that Day need changing, but there will bo no radical changes accepted by the house." Sugar and Wool. Whether Underwood means that no duty shall bo placed upon sugar and wool is not stated, but ho, no doubt, will regard n tariff on thoso articles as "radical" changes from tho bill aa It passed tho house. At least President Wilson will so consider them, and there is no doubt that tho majority of tho Democrats in the house will ngreo with him. "Those sugar and wool fellows may mako us somo trouble," remarked one of tho shrewd Democratic members, "but there is an indication that they will go Into a 'Democratic caucus and do a lot of talking, put up a very strong fight and finally consont to being tied up to a caucus decision in favor of freo wool and free sugar as provided In the Underwood bill. Somo of them are willing to be throttled in caucus." That furnishes a way out Let the caucus decide and the Democrats -who represent wool and sugar states can stand with their party. Naming the Committees. Democratic members of tho house havo been keeping In close touch with Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, particularly thoso who have no assurance of good com mltteo assignments. They also Inter view Champ Clark, for tho speaker is not without Influence, nlthough ho does not namo tho committees. All tho big chairmanships havo been provided for, as well as tho best places on tho most important committees, These go by rank and promotion. Tho pressure for positions comes from tho now members, who Want something better than a nonworklng committee. "They won't bo satisfied with toothpick," said Congressman Shackle- ford of Missouri. "They don't want to be handed a toothpick and told to go into tho cloakrooms and pick their teeth and come out and vote when the roll is called." . A Tariff Uncertainty. Those Democratic senators who aro against free wool and free .sugar have an uncertainty to meet In the attitudo of several Republican and Progressive senators. There are several of these who think that tho products in their states havo been so hard hit In tho Underwood bill that they will not help the sugar nnd wool men unless they get something In return. And so tho Democrats who are standing out may find that after they havo counted noses on their sldo and can chango the schedules with all tho Republican nnd Progressive votes they will bo unablo to secure all those votes in favor of a duty on wool and sugar. Would Improve the House. Quito a number of women were look ing over tho house ono day after ad journment. After looking at them a moment Congressman Fitzgerald of New York remarked: "I don't know but what It would improve tho looks of tiio houso if twenty-flvo or thirty good looking women would como hero as members. It might create somo rivalry if there was n selection of seats." Chandler Rings the Bell. Congressman Chandler, Progressive, of New York city mado a hit tho first day of tho session by tho sense of hu mor ho displayed. When ho mado his tariff speech ho scored again for tho very same reason. "I know llttlo about tho tariff," he began; "but, strange to say, though a modest and retiring man, I havo suf fered no embarrassment whatever from any prlvato conversation on tho subject I havo had with other mem bers. My excuse for speaking at all upon tho tariff is tho justification of Colonel Ingersoll for discussing lm- mortajlty of tho soul. Ho said that where nobody know everybody had a right to guess. "Now, after listening to tariff dis cussions for weeks, I havo somo very posltivo convictions, with few reserva tions. I know perfectly well tho, Dem ocrats aro wrong. I also know perfect ly well that tho Republicans aro wrong, and at times I havo serious doubts about tho Progressives." With such a start as that Chandler bad tho attention of tho house, and with bits of humor and earnest Voice he made a good impression. Wonder if There Aro Any Boys Like Tills in Honosdnlo? Tho Citizen is In receipt of the following communication which was produced in a western city. Wo aro reproducing It as it was published with the Idea that perhaps tho samo condition might exist here. If, per chance it does, we can say to tho young men of Honesdale and vicin ity if the coat fits, why Just put it on. A number of iHonesdale girls will back up ove.ry word in this article and undoubtedly say, "Good!" "Some timo ago the American re ceived an epistle from a peninsula damsel who desired to know why there were so many bacholors in Monterey and further intimated that there were three girls in her neigh borhood who were anxious to know. Wo put tho question to George Sal terbach and George Gould and Geo. Schultzburg, but for once all tho Georges "passed the buck" and wo woro not enlightened. As we did not wish to bring our boys into ill-repute wo said no more about it and would havo forgotten the Incident had It not been for the terriblo indlctraeat of the Watsonvillo swains, written by a fair maiden of tho Apple City and published by Brother PIratsky in the Fajaronian. Coming from two different places, this same com plaint, we as good Native Sons aro becoming extremely alarmed. The Watsonvllle girl voices her pent-up feelings thusly: "Ed Pajaronian: "The girls dared me to write this and I dare you to print it. I've heard that newspapers do not print anonymous letters, but when you read this you'll seo why I Bimpiy could not sign my own name to it without losing my goat. But for tho sake of every marriageablo girl in Watsonvillo I think you should print my letter. I sure have a kick com ing, and so have a lot of other girls who would make A-l, 1913, model wives. "Now, I hate to be blunt, but a lot of these Watsonvllle boys need a good jolt. There are a hundred or more marriagable girls In this live burg, and down in their hearts every one of them will admit If she's honest tkat a mob of noble-bodied young men are sidestepping this marrying business: I can name, over nity strewn an tne way rrom uor ralitos to Aromas .who ought to marry. Every mother's son of them has one or more "Janes" on his staff. Sundays he works her old folks for a chicken dinner, wears out tho par lor sola on stormy nights and ped dles his little pet a line of slushy gush, but when a good show oozes into town Oh! you vanishing kid! He stags it, or 'has to .work to night.' Somo lumpty, nlcht Wahr? I am pretty well provided for myself and tho gink that can pry mo loose and coax me to tackle this "two-lives-as-ono" business has sure got to go some. Nix on tho Roose velt full-baby-buggy cry for mine unless well, you never can tell. J have got no gob of gloom to work oil, but looking at it from a patriot ic viewpoint, i really think there ought to be more mating among the young people or Watsonvllle and vi cinity. It's a fine country, but It needs more people. "Now, I havo had tho same strong arm around mo till my back aches, and I have heard the same worn out Sunday night hints about tho lonely life a single man leads until I know them by heart words and music. But you can always count on the quick getaway when the ice gets too turn. iNotning stirring in the propos al business. Oh, they are a cautious crowd. these Watsonvillo lads! A girl I know tried ono indiscreet biped in pants who fudged over the dead line and actually talked marriage. Next day ne was oack witn a tale of woe about the high cost of living, the drudgery tnat tnreatens a poor man's wife etc. Ono night that samo week we saw him out riding with some ladies ho probably wouldn't speak to in daylight. But there is a lot of raw material In Watsonvllle and vicinity mat would make good husbands, and It is time that a marrying epi demic struck this town good and hard. "I can hear tho Highbrows and the Prims gasp, already at this vul gar impertinence, but I am serious. I hate to sling slang along this way, but I want tho element I am talking to, to "get mo." Look at the wed ding records. Pretty slim, eh? And at that half the brides are imported from back east, parcel post paid by tho groom. . "On the job boys. The girls will meet you half way. Take us once in a while to a picture show, or dance. Don't be so tight. Don't sneak Into a dance after the terpschorean exer cises have started and after having danced your fill, beat It. because you're too stingy to treat us girls to ice cream or soda or perhaps you re afraid wo might ask you to see us nome: "Don't be pikers! "MISS D. Foster's Weather Bulletin Copyrighted 1S13 By W. T. FOSTER WASHINGTON, D. C, May 17. Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis turbance to cross continent May 20 to 24, warm wave 19 to 23, cool wavo 22 to 26. The week centering on the day this disturbance reaches your longitude will average cooler than usual and tne cool wave follow ing It will carry frosts farther south than usual, it win also inaugurate a ten days' period in which some dangerous storms are expected. Wo have not yet worked out a method of locating these dangerous storms but we aro making experiments bas ed on tho daily weather records cov ering 80 years and wo aro encourag ed with tho progress and will begin to suggest tho locations of sovero storms and heavy rains in a general way. But our readers must not hold us strictly responsible till we get a llttlo more experience. Wo have been locating the monthly rainfall results fairly well, perhaps making 75 to 80 per cent, good, but to lo cate a dangerous storm and the rain fall of overy storm wavo that crosses the continent are altogether moro difficult problems; but we believe it can be accomplished. Next disturbance will reach Pa cific coast about May 24, cross Paci fic slope by closo of 25 th, great cen tral valeys 26 to 28', eastern sec tions 20. Warm wavo will cross Pa cific slope about May 24, great cen tral vaneys to zs, eastern sec Cool wave will cross Pacific slopo about May 27, great central valleys z'j, eastern sections 31. The week of this disturbance cen tering on the day it passes your vi cinity will average cooler than usual and the cool wave preceding will probably cause frosts In northern sections farther south than usual. Less than usual rain is expected in a general way but near meridian 80, lino running north and south a little west of Toronto and Buffalo, the rainfall will probably be about or a little above normal. This disturbance, crossing conti nent 25 to 29 will cause severe storms but not so severe as in pre vious months. Indications seem to say that; this storm wave will be most severe on meridian 80 ox- plained above not far from May 28 and that the path of tho storm will Ho over or near the great lakes. But there are also indications that the greatest force of this great storm period May 21 to 31 will affect the sections of the Philllppines and meridian 25, that part of the Atlan tic west of Spain and Great Britain.
