Great Disappointment on Account of Unfavorable Change of Plans Parade Greatly Curtailed. The apprehensions felt in Honesdale yesterday morning, when the heavy snow storm set in, that the blizzard might ex tend to Washington and seriously inter fere with the elaborate arrangements made for the inauguration of President Taft, were more than realized. Ateleven o'clock, through the courtesy and kind ness of A. J. Coleman & Co., stock brokers, with office at the Allen House, The Citizen received the following dis patch from the National Capital received by wireless at Philadelphia : "The blizznrd is racine here this morn ing. Washington and Baltimore wires are down. The inauguration parade will be largely curtailed, and the inaug uration ceremonies will take place In the Senate Chamber, and not at the east front of the Capitol, as is customary, and for which elaborate preparation was made." The weather conditions at Washington this year were unfavorable beyond prece dent on any similar occasion. On Wed nesday the streets were filled with a surging, jostling crowd, the visitors at that time being estimated at 00,000, with the hotels jammed to their capacity, and the streets thronged, while bands were playing and thousands marching in a drenching downpour of rain. It was almost impossible to make much head way along Pennsylvania Avenue in the evening, owing to the tremendous throngs, and automobiles were renting at $12 an hour. Notwithstanding the fact that everybody, so to speak, wrs soaking wet, everybody wbb happy in anticipation of more pleasant weather on the morrow, and an opportunity to witness a pageant surpassing anything ever heretofore seen in this country on a similar occasion. The 'thousands who found themselves so grievously disappointed yesterday morning, and especially the Honesdale contingent in the military display, have the sincere sympathy and commisera tion of The Pitizen. There is one great comfort, after all, with which wo may console ourselves: no matter .what the weather, another Republican president was inaugurated, and his first message, which will be found elsewhere in this paper, affords the best of evidence that for four years to come, at least, there will be no diminution in the sunshine of prosperity. State protection may be withdrawn from the Turkey buzzard. Under the new game laws, drafted by State Game Commissioner Knlbfus and approved by the legislative committee of the Stnte Sportmen's Association, the protection given for years to the eagle, the osprey or fish hawk and the great blue heron has been taken away, it being consider ed that such birds are not beneficial and entitled to the protection of the law The removal of the bar to killing of the slow-sailing scavengers of the fields and woods is urged and the committee oh game will be asked to put it on the pro scribed list. The reason for this move ment is said to be the statement of the State veterinary authorities, who have been fighting foot and mouth disease among cattle, that the buzzard is a con sumer of carrion and that by eating re mains of a cow which may have been infected with the cattle plague may spread it. Some of .the country mem' bers who consider the buzzard a bene factor will oppose this action and the buzzard may be the cause of a row among members of the lawmaking body. A BILL has been presented in the House by Mr. Dunsmore, of Tioga, re quiring State inspectors' approval of premises used for moving picture shows and precautions against fire in third class cities, boroughs and townships and vesting jurisdiction over fire escapes in the department. The bill covers buildings used for public purposes in all parts of the State except flrstand second class cities, and requires fire escapes doors opening outward and landings four feet in longth. Regulations are made prohibiting use of oil as an illu rainant, requiring non-combustible enr tains and standpipes. This bill is de signed to prevent a repetition of the Boyertown horror. Members of the State police who have been out on detailed duty during the winter have been recalled to barracks This action is not being taken because of fear of strikes or anything of the kind but because of the expiration of the ap propriation year. Early in April the men will be sent' out on. summer details which will include assisting to enforce tne nan laws. DR. C. R. BRADY.Dentist Honesdale. Pa, uffice nouns o a. m. to 0 p. m, Any evening by appointment. CltliensrpUone, 33, Residence. No. 86 X. From Farview. Work on Hospital Protfrcsslatf- Propoacd New Road Over the Mountain. The work on the proposed hospital for criminal insane at Farview is progres- singmost satisfactorily and, if the present mild weather continues for two weeks onger, everything will be in readiness to begin the laying of the concrete. On Tuesday evening, the 2d inat., a meeting of the tax payers and citizens of Canaan township, was held in the Canaan Comers Hotel, for the purpose of discussing the Bubjcct of building a new macadamized or tilford road from a point near the line dividing the bor ough of Waymart from the township of Canaan west, on the Honesdale road, and extend straight across the mountain duo west, to a point north of old No. 7 on the D. A H. Gravity and to join with a similar road on the line d!,,iding Wayne and Lackawanna counties, and which shall extend to Fell township, Lacka wanna county, to the D. A H. H. R., crossing at white's nag station. J. lie advisability and desirability of construct ing such a road is so apparent that nothing can bo said against it. As is known, the State furnishes six-eighths of the money when such roads are con structed under the auspices of the state law governing public highways. A pe tition, numerously signed by the tax payers of Fell township, through which the road will extend in Lackawanna county, has been prepared and is ready for presentation to the courts of that county, asking for a board of viewers to be appointed, whose duty it will be to lay out a definite and exact route for the construction of that road. This can not be done, however, until similar pro ceedings are instituted in Wayne coun ty, hence at an early date a petition will be presented to the court of Wayne coun ty, asking, for a board of viewers to de fine proper lines for the building of the road in this county.

Taft's Inaugural Address.1 (Continued from first pnee.l The Labor Question. There Is one other matter to which I hall refer. It was made tho subject, of great controversy during the elec tion and colls for at least a. passing reference now. My distinguished pred ecessor has given much attention to tho cause of labor, with whose strug gle for better things ho has shown tho slncerest sympathy. At his instance congress has passed tho bill fixing tho liability of interstate carriers to their employees for injury sustained In tho courso of employment, abolishing the rulo of fellow servant nnd the common law rule as to contributory negligence and substituting therefor tho so called rulo of comparative negligence. It has also passed a law fixing tho compen sation of government employees for Injuries sustained In tho employ of the government through the negligence of the superior. It also passed' n model child labor law for the District of Co lumbia. In previous administrations an arbitration law for Interstate com merce railroads nnd their employees und laws for the application of safety devices to snvo tho lives and limbs of omployecs of Interstate railroads had been passed. Additional legislation of this kind was passed by the outgoing congress. I wish to say that, In so far as I can. I hope to promote 'the enactment of further legislation of this character. I nnr strongly convinced 'that the gov ernment should make Itself ns respon slblo to employees Injured. In Its era, ploy as on Interstate railway corpora. Hon Is made responsible by federal law to its employees, and I shall be glad, whenever any additional reasona. bio safety device con be Invented to reduce the loss of life and limb among railway emnloyees, to urge coucross to require Its ndoptlon by Interstate railways. Use of Injunctions Necessary. Another labor question 1ms arisen which has awakened the most excited discussion. That Is In respect to the power of the federal courts to issue Injunctions In industrial disputes. As to that, my convictions are fixed. Take away from courts, if It could be taken nwny, tho power to Issue Injunctions In labor disputes, and It would create a privileged class among the laborers nnd save tho lawless among their num ber from u most needful remedy nvnll- nble to all men for the protection of their business against lawless Invasion The proposition that business Is not a property or pecuniary right which can be protected by equitable Injunction Is utterly without foundation In prece dent or reason. The proposition Is usually linked with one to make the secondary boycott lawful. Such a proposition Is at variance with the American instinct and will find no support, In my judgment, when submit ted to the American people.. The sec. ondary boycott Is an Instrument of tyranny and ought not to be made legitimate. The Issuing of a temporary restrain Ing order without notice has in several instances been abused by Its incon slderate exercise, and to remedy this tho platform upon which I wns elect ed recommends tho formulation In n statute of the conditions under which such n temporary estralnlng order ought to Issue. A statute can and ought to be framed to embody the best modern practice and can bring the sub ject so closely to tho attention of tho court as to make abuses of tho process unlikely In the future. American peo ple, If I understand thorn, Insist that the authority of the courts shall be sustained nnd are opposed to nny change In the procedure by which the powers of a court may he weakened and tho fearless and effective admin istration of Justice be Interfered with. Having thus reviewed the questions likely to recur during my administra tion and having expressed In a sum mary way tho position which I expect to take In recommendations to con gress and in my conduct ns an execu tive, I invoke the considerate sym pathy nnd support of my fellow citi zens and the aid of Almighty God In tho discharge of my responsible duties.

Everybody has the chicken fever and will attempt to increase the tempera ture a few degrees. "What is the best feed?" Well, let me say right here, that the standards of rations set up in many poultry journals and poultry books known . a the narrow ration, aro very expensive when you ndd to the cost of the great number of eggs one never gets by using these balanced rations, i lie most deadening winter feed I know of is one compounded largely of theproteln element. 1 have often wondered wheth er the men who condemn corn as n food for laying hens ever owned a, chicken. These people forget in their theorizing, mat energy is worm more in a laying hen than anything else, and energy comes from the carbonaceous foods. Did you ever stop to think whv hens lav better just as winter breaks up than at any other time of the year V It is the excess of carbon in the system that en ables thein to grow eggB nt that time. This heat also stimulates the sexual system. This idea that the lieu needs a big lot of protein to form eggs is all nonsense. Analyze the droppings, and vou will seo where the nroteincoes when you feed it strongly. There is no other aii-arouna loouas good as corn, wnen ever you reduce the amount of corn fed, and substitute something more album inous, tho hens reduce the number of eggs. I hnve known people wlio leu nothing but corn to go far aneau ot narrow ration fellows in eee production. The reason for this is that corn produces heat, and all bent producers arouse the sexual nature, and this is what we should aim to do. Do not bo afraid of corn, but do not use it exclusively ; no groin is n proper exclusive food. LETTER To A. M. Henshaw from Wana maker & Brown.
