Republicans do not forget the
primaries; turn out and vote. It is
true no great principle is at stake,
but do not let that keep you from the
polls. The Citizen is Interested in a
thorough organization of the party
and a unification of every interest
that we may poll our full vote at fut
ure elections.
Everything that tends to cut down
the trade of the merchant depresses
rents, injuries investments and general
ly holds back your town, say? the De
posit Courier. It may not come to you
right off. but such an alien policy will be
felt bv everybody in the end. The busi
ness man pays his taxes, buys his goods,
employs his salesmen and pays his rent.
He deserves to be patronized. Ho is
doing more than his share of keeping
the town going and helping it along. If
he does not keep in stock the article you
want he can get it more cheaply than
you can, because lie knows where to
buy, how to order and he gets the dis
count given the trade. If you are ttie
owner of houses, if you have a vacant
Jot waiting to be built upon, if you own
land around the town which you hope
one day to see valuable, if you own busi
ness houses which vou want to see filled
with enterprising and successful merch
ants, then you will discourage this nar
row policy of shopping away from home.
It ignores the men you want to prosper,
whom it is to your interest to help.
TEA SHOULD NOT HE TAX Kit.
Renewed efforts to levy a duty on
tea should fail. It would not be a
duty demanded for protection, but
a direct tax. Furthermore, it
would be a burden which the poor
man and his family would have to
shoulder. It would not be felt by
the rich. On the other hand, it
would be seriously felt by the la
borer. In England where there
are no protective duties, but where
taxes are levied for the express pur
pose of raising revenue, tea pays
heavily, it has not been the policy
of the Republican party in this
country to levy duties upon im
ported products that are classed
among the essentials of life where
that duty has no excuse other than
that of a revenue producer, and it
is altogether too late in the day to
change that policy.
It is true that experiments at tea
raising have been made in the
United States. For a quarter of a
century some lias been grown, with
government assistance, in the Caro
linas but the average has been only
about 10,000 pounds, whereas the
consumption of tea annually in this
country amounts to 100,000,000
pounds. If the time comes when
it is found that tea can be grown
here on a large scale, then, indeed,
we might talk about protection.
But that time is not yet, nor is it
in sight. A tax on tea, therefore,
would now become a direct tax,
with no countervailing advantage.
It is a tax that the man of means
could stand well enough, but ten
cents added to a pound would cut
into the wages of the laborer In a
decidedly serious manner. Tea has
become a necessity to a very great
proportion of the population. The
woman who bends over a sewing
machine, turning out clothing for
manufacturers, keeps the machinery
of life going on tea. Through the
congested districts of every city,
where work is done by the piece in
the home, the teapot is always pres
ent. The tea that countless thous
ands of the poor drink is sold at re
tail from 25 to 35 cents per pound.
All that any member of Congress
has to do to ascertain that fact for
himself is to ask any grocer who
deals considerably in teas. If five
cents or ten cents were levied as a
duty upon that tea, the cost to the
consumer would be that much more.
By the time the retailer- distributes
these low priced teas the margin of
profit is not great, and the retailer
is not going to stand for the loss of
whatever profit he now reaps. The
consumer would be forced to pay
the tax.
There is no tea trust for Congress
to consider. Four hundred thous
and retailers handle the business.
Congress will do well to let tea
strictly alone.
Every legislature leaves in its wake
the impression that certain measures
have become laws, and every now and
then a man writes to the Capitol at
Harnsburg, to know how soonBuch and
such a law is to be enforced. He gen
erally strikes ttie governor's office and
letters of that kind are referred to the
secretary of the commonwealth. For
the laet two weeks Chief Clerk George
D. Thorn, of that department, has been
doing little except answering questions
about laws. Some of the bills inquired
about never saw the light of day and
often the inquirer a!cp about some bill
which was presented in the legielatuie
of another state.
"Buffalo Bill" Cody has come in
to his own again. In Philadelphia on
Wednesday of last week, he and "Paw
nee Bill," otherwise known as Major
Gordon W. Lillie, purchased the inter
est in the estate of James A. Bailey in
what is now known as "Buffalo Bill's
Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Far East."
The price was not made public, but the
transaction marked, in a sense, a pros
perous advance in the fortune of Buffa
lo Bill, while at the same time signa
lizing the withdrawal of theonce famous
name of Bailey from the show business.
Once upon a time Colonel Cody sold a
share in his Wild West show to the
Bailey estate, which retained that inter
est until last week. In the meantime
lie and Major Lillie got together and
deeided that it would be mutually profi
table, if they became allies instead ot
rivals, although there were marked dif
ferences in the nature of their produc
tions. But it was always Colonel Cody's
ambition to re-acquire the Bailey inter
est. This was not so easy to do while
James A. Bailey, one of the shrewdest
and most experienced of circus men,
was nlive, but since his death his widow,
who was his sole lezatee, displayed a
willingness to take the name out of the
arena, and so Major Lillie has become
with Col. Cody the owners of the prop
erty. "Pawnee Bill" has made several
visits to Honesdaie with liis Wild West
show, and both he and his wife, the
noted expert with the rifle, have many
personal friends here who will be pleas
ed to hear of this evidence of their pros
perity. There is now in force a new cocaine
act which should help in the effort of
authorities to stamp out the cocaine
evil. This bill which went through the
legislature without opposition provides
that sales of cocaine can only be made
by prescription and that physicians,
dentists or veterinarians shall not give
prescriptions to habitual users. Ke-
strictious are placed upon wholesalers
who must furnish reports of sales while
retailers are required to keep a record
of sales. The penalty is a line of not
more than $500 or imprisonment of not
, more than two years or both. Where
the law strikes at the illegal traliic is by
1 a provision that any person not auth-
orized to handle the drug being found
, in possession of it except on a prescrip
j tion shall be liable to a tine of not more
than $100 or six months imprisonment or
I both. This is aimed at the walking dis
! pensersof thedrugin cities, the men who
buy from druggists and sell indiscrimin
ately to the unfortunates in the clutches
of the drug. The act. does not apply to
laudanum and other poisons, which
are under a general act.
The Williamspoit lumber boom, on
the West Branch ol the Susquehanna,
which will be dismantled when the ",
000, 0X) feet of logs it now contains are
rafted out, has had a wonderful business
hibtorv. Since 180:2, the first year for
which the boom records are available,
there have been rafted out of the boom
a total of :W,!)0t),511 logs, totaling 7,12S,
001,104 feet board measure. This does
not include the ."i.OOO.OOO feet approxi
mately, now in the boom, which makes
a grand total of 7,l.'i3,fi01,l(H feet. Es
timating the value of the lumber at
$.'0 per thousand feet, which is said to
be a fair average, it shows that as a
direct result of the West Branch boom
more than $140,000,000 went to Williams-
port, or ten times the present total as
sessed value of the citv. The banner
year in the history of the boom was 107:!,
when it held n total of 818,:i42,712 feet.
In only one other year 18S2 did it ex
ceed oOO.OOO.OOO feet, the total that year
being :M,8(K),838.
A distinct earthquake shock was felt
throughout the northern part of Illinois
on Tuesday of last week. The motion
was from north to south and lasted one-
half minute. The quake was reported
especially noticeable in and about Elgin,
Illinois, and as far west as Davenport,
Iowa. The shock was distinctly felt in
the office of the local weather bureau in
the dome of the federal building and at
the following cities near Chicago : La-
mont, Joliet, Lockport, Riverdale, Or
land, Downer's Grove, Napierville, Pe
oria, Evanston, Kewanee, and at Beloit
and Janesville, Wisconsin. No one wat
killed or injured, nor did the early re
ports show any save minor damage,
such as the breaking of dishes and china
or porcelain ornaments thrown from
mantels. The delicate instruments of
the weatherbureau were notdisarranged.
It is said the shock was not felt at the
street level, but was noted at the second
and higher floors of buildings.
It is said that the gypsy taxation bill,
which the Governor of this State signed
a few days ago, is intended to rid the
State of this pestiferous class of nomads,
rather than as a revenue measure. It
provides a tax o( $30 in every county in
which a band of gypsies may temporarily
locate, besides a fee of fifty cents to the
County Treasurer for issuing the license.
The licenses hold good for one year only,
and if a band is found without a license
every member of the party may be fined
from $50 to $100, or sent to jail for tljirty
days.
With Ex-President Roosevelt hunting
big game in Africa; President Taft pitch
ing ball in a professional game ; and
Speaker Cannon taking a bout with the
gloves wifi Philadelphia Jack O'Biieii,
It must be admitted that our leading
statesmen are "going some."
A court decision of wide interest was
handed down by Judge Woods, at Bed
ford, a few days ago, in which it is held
that where a township has adopted the
casli roads system, it cannot return
again to the work-tax system. The
voters of Bedford township at an elec
tion held a year or two ago declared in
favor of the cash tax system, and after
trial it was again submitted to a vote of
the qualified electors, when the majority
of them favored a return to the old sys
tern. Tnis, Judge Wood holds, they
had no right to do, and he has set aside
the election.
GLAMOUR OF PATERNALISM.
In his heart of hearts the average
American believes in his country
nnd its institutions and has faith
that It will successfully work out
its great political, Industrial and
social problems in ways that are In
harmony with individual liberty
and a democratic form of govern
ment. But that does not prevent Room a little before 10 o'clock a. m.,

and New York city. Tliev will reside
for a time at the home of the

4'ltlCK OF .MEATS ADYANCED.
The papers contain sad news for
the housekeepers. The price of
meats has been advanced materially
in nearly all retail markets, and the
promise is that It will be further
increased in the near future. This
movement has been steadily upward ,
tor two years and by the last of i siain; the Battle of Mobile Bay; con
June it is expected the prices will i nicts with the blockade runners, and
be double what they were two years
aS.
The reason given is that at the
time of the financial panic, two 1
years ago, the Western farmers re- tlclpated. Let us glance for an In
duced their stocks in order to get stant at the Battle of Hampton
cash to carry them through the win-1 Roads, where was first planted the
ter, and have since followed the i
practice. This, with the effect of
the high price of grain, which ln -
duced them to hasten their cattle I
to market rather than fatten them !
for higher prices, has produced a :
scarcity of meat.
There never was a time more ad-! 'ard- a peremptory order for au
vantngeous for the vegetables and!tnority t0 buiUl a battleship
fruit propaganda. Advocates of
the prohibition of meat are likely
to finds more attentive ears than
ever before. The housekeepers of erale oauiesnip, appeareu at iiamp
the land have been outraged and ton Roads- and commenced the sea
incensed for months. They are flght which destryed the Cumber
wearied of explaining to the carp-' ,and and Congress, with the prospect
ing head of the house why they have ! of the enemy enterlnS the narbor the
exceeded their allowances. They
may answer superior and criticising
questions by abolishing meat from
the table if the anti-meat philosoph- i
ers will stana up and teach them I
how.

holders of the proposed new Farmers'
National Bank, nt Deposit, it was re

Memorial Day, last Monday, was
fittingly observed In our borough.
The day was ushered in with a can
non salute by the G. A. R. gun squad,
and the customary order of exercises,
as previously announced, was follow
ed. Capt. James Ham Post, No. 198,
, G. A. R., formed in front of the Post

.o'clock, W. W. Wood, Marshal of the
day, had everything in marching or
der, and put the column in motion
The usual route was followed until
j the bridge over Park Lake was
i reached; the teachers and pupils of
(the various Sunday schools and the
(graded schools, joining the column,
! between Company E and the drum
I corps, at the High school building.
At the bridge Hon. William H.
Dimmick delivered a stirring and elo
quent address in memory of the sail
ors and marines who served during
the war for the Union, and the
school children strewed the river
with flowers. Mr. Dimmick said in
part
My Friends The nation, ninety
millions of people, meet to-day to
pay their homage to the men who
fought on sea and land to maintain,
preserve, and perpetuate the Union.
The part assigned to us at this
cime is to pay a tribute to those
whose bodies were laid in the bosom
. """-
I OPean' tllcy sJ''"olize the realization
ot our
iaiin 'tnai in tne unity ana
continuity of human life those who
served their God, their country and
humanity can never die.
The bridge upon which we stand
brings to our mind most vividly the
erection of the grand and noble
structure by which a million faithful
soldiers crossed the dark and dismal
chasm of disunion, secession and hu
man slavery, and upon its lasting
! foundations constructed the Temple
I of Liberty, whore rest enthroned the
I immortals Lincoln, Chase, Stanton,
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, Far
I ragut and Porter and lesser orbs,
j from whom issue life, liberty and
I happiness, freedom, progress and
j plenty.
The six days battle at New Orleans,
the surrender of the city and the
opening of the .Mississippi while the
waters ran red with the blood of the
other notable engagements, all are
lustrous naces in the history of the
civil conflict in which our naval he-
roes so bravely and effectively par-
tree of American civilization. Ab-
raham Lincoln and John Ericsson met
at a telegraph office in Washington,
and the latter was given by the
President, written on the back of a
telegraph blank, addressed to the
superintendent of the Brooklyn navy
according 10 pians uesigneu uy mm.
One hundred days from the date of
the order, the Merrimnc, the Confed-
next morning. The Monitor left the
navy yard March 9th, looking like
"a cheese-box on a raft," and on the
following morning, Sunday, com
menced an attack on the Merrlmac,
and drove the formidable battleship
' from the sea. On the result of this
sea flght depended the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy as an Inde
pendent nation. The Monitor saved
the day, and possibly the Union.
Theodore Roosevelt, listening to
the voice of the great English poet
"Let the feet of the men who wrought
for you,
Let the feet of the men who fought
for you,
Echo round the world,"
Assembled the great battleships of
the American navy, and sent them
around the globe on a journey of
45,000 miles, an object lesson of the
work the soldiers nnd sailors did in
preserving the American Union.
We will now follow our surviving
veterans and the flag they loved so
well to the place where their com
rades are laid, and place upon their
graves the flowers of spring.
After the lake had been fairly
curtained with flowers, the march
to Glen Dyberry was resumed, and

Commander Hon. Henry Wilson,
who spoke at some leneth of thn
events preceding and during the
i war, me results or the connict, the
I origin and object of the Grand
lArmy, and the significance and
propriety of Memorial Day obser
'vances, the exercises at the soldiers'
'plot followed the oraer announced.
The opening prayer was offered bv
.Rev. Dr. Win. H. Swift. The flag
was raised by Mrs. William Clark,
.president of the Ladies' Circle,
'with the accompaniment of the
' "Star Spangled Banner" by the
band. The grave of Capt. James
Ham was draped by Mrs. C. E.
' Baker, Past President of the Circle,
.with the accompaniment of "Glory
Hallelujah" by the drum corps. The
band then rendered "La Rarselllaise"
,and Andrew Thompson delivered
, the oration of the day, which will

.issue. Then followed "Beyond the
j Gates of Paradise" by the Band;
and W. W. Wood delivered an im

unknown dead of the Union arm
ies, (which appears on the third

Then followed a dirge by the

of an excellent dinner at the Post
Room, prepared and served by the
Ladies' Circle.
During the day, which was sun
shiny and pleasant throughout, most
of the business places were closed,
and the general display of the na

GRAND ARMY DAY TN SCHOOL.
A delegation of Captain Hani Post
visited the High School on Friday, May
28th, and entertained the scholars with
some recitals of their experiences during
the Civil War. The delegation con
sisted of Commander Henry Wilson,
Comrades Graham Watts, Edward Cook,
Samuel Found and W. W. Wood. Com
mander Wilson gave a very instructive
talk on the flags used by the different
army corps, having upon a large sheet
the corps, division and brigade flags of
the 3d Army Corps of the Union Armv,
also the flags used by the Confederates.
Comrade Watts gave a very vivid descrip
tion ol the battle at Monocacy. at which
place the Second Division of (lie Sixth
Army Corps stepped the victorious raid
of the rebel army on their way to cap
ture Washington, the Capitol of the Na
tion, long enough to permit the arrival
of the balance of the Sixth Corps, when
the Confederates retreated. Comrade
Cook gave a very interesting account of
his adventures as a dispatch carrier for
General Sheridan and other command
ing officers. Comrade Wood spoke
briefly of some of the humorous episodes
that took place on the march and in
camp. The scholars sang some patriotic
songs in a manner that showed they
were enthusiastically patiiotic.

Quarter of n Million In Improve
ments in Two Years Five
Thousand Dollars Spent In
Honesdaie.
The Scrnnton Tribune of Saturday
last gives some Interesting particu
lars relating to the expansion or
business nnd improvements installed
by the Bell Telephone Company in
the Scranton district, in which
Honesdaie is Included.
E. G. Simons, the manager, states
that on top of the $150,000 already
expended, $100,000 or more is to
be added this year, the most of It
to be used In Increasing the facili
ties for the conduct of business at
the exchange building. Mr. Simons
adds: "Last year we spent a lot of
money for new cables and for put
ting wires underground, which, in
cidentally, is the voluntary policy
of the company, and the result of
these Improvements outside is that
our accommodations inside are not
nearly adequate to take care of the
business which the Improvements
have brought to us. We will build
two stories to the rear of our pres
ent building, and on the third floor
will be a new switchboard, to be
installed at a cost of $40,000, with
other improvements. On the sec
ond floor will be a retiring room
for employes, of whom there are
eighty-five operators alone, and we
expect to add five more in a short
time. The second floor also will be
used for ofTlces for the plant depart
ment. The first floor will be used
exclusively for the clerical force,
which will have to be at least twice
as large as It is at present. We
have ten salesmen on the road and
we expect this year to surpass even
the large record of 2,500 new sta
tions added last year. All through
the district the Increase in business
has been pronounced. In a tenta
tive canvass in Honesdaie made re
cently we secured 162 new subscrib
ers. In this town alone we are
spending $5,000 for improvements,
and In Carbondale we are putting
out $0,000. In short, all along the
line business has been booming and
we are going to keep right in pace
with It."
The Carbondale Leader furnishes
the following additional information
of local Interest: ".Many important
changes will be made in the Carbon
dale district of the Bell Telephone
company, which at present com
prises Honesdaie. White Mills, Haw
ley and this city. Owlnv; to the ex
tensive growth of the district it lias
been found newary to create a new
district. The new district will con
sist of Wayne county towns and will
bo in charge of E. M. Mct'rncken, of
Honesilale. The Carbondale dis
trict will consist of Vandling, Forest
City, Jermyn. Maylield, Archbald,
Crystal Lake, Dundaff and other
suburban points. The district will
still continue under the direction of
C. F. O'Donnell, who has been the
courteous and efficient local repre
sentative for the past year.
"Thomas A. Garvey, who recent
ly completed a canvass of the Hones
daie district, will soon be transferred
to the Scranton office, where he will
take charge of a force of eighteen
solicitors."
