GOOD EVENING!
(In Tlio City).
When wo left our hotel to ro
down to business, Tuesday morning,
the thermometer registered thirty
eight degrees nbovo zero. For the
first time la four or five days wo felt
sure of our footing, the rain of Now
Year's Day having cut the ice, and
washed tho pavements clean.
By the way wo like Father Malta's
definition of "New Year's Day," as
being "only a term put down by hu
man invention to give man another
chanco of life," very much. After
all, you and I must grapplo tho
problems of lifo, and try to solvo
them, eacli in his own way.
Anyway, hero's hoping we'll all
make a gallant fight to overcome our
besetting sins!
WHO GETS THE MONEY?
"Tho Anti-Saloon League won't
spend tho $(10,000 they gathered up
last season in Pennsylvania," snid a
man who is prominently Identified
with tho movement, to us, several
days ago. "They'll shove it in their
pockets, and have a few fat-salarieil
men walking around doing nothing."
TREASURY SURPLUS.
Tho Treasury surplus for Decem
ber will be between $3,000,000 and
$1,000,000. Custom receipts are
showing a healthy increase, and in
ternal revenue receipts are $13,
000,000 over similar receipts at this
time last year.
"A good New Year to you! I am
no cultivator of disappointment; 'tis
an herb that grows not in my garden,
but I get some good crops of grati
tude. , Tho last I can recommend to
all gardeners for tho New Year; it
grows best, in shiny weather, hut
onco grown is very hardy. Robert

There are indications that at this
lato day the peoplo are beginning to
appreciate President Taft, says Fi
nancial Review. Tho North Caro
lina legislature has endorsed him
ns a national and not a sentimental
president." In tho North tlio peo

is a safe and conservative man who
has at heart tho real interests of
tho people.
THE LEGISLATURE AT WORK.
Tho session of tho Pennsylvania
General Assembly, which opened
Tuesday, will bo u very busy ono in
deed. An unusual amount of legis
lation of tho highest Importance to
tho State will come up for considera
tion. Tlio Senate, according to the
official directory, will consist of ;$8
Republicans and VI Democrats, and
tho House 101 Republicans, -15 Dem
ocrats and ono Socialist. Senator
Gcorgo T. Oliver Is sure to bo re
elected. Tlio reports of tho Tax Law
Commission, tlio Election Law Com
mission, and tho State Insurance De
partment will call for considerable
discussion. Tlio old locnl option

in all, it promises to bo a lengthy
and important session.
LACK OF MANNERS.
When our esteemed down-thc-nvenuo
contemporary In its editorial
columns, under tho cnptlon of "Mor
monism, Dowleism, Eddylsni,"
speaks of "peoplo will run
after such impostors ns Joo Smith,
Alexander Dowio nnd Mary G. Raker
Eddy," it but displays the bad man
ners for which it seems to hnvo a
mania. It is proveibal that "con
cerning tho dead speak nothing but
good," and particularly is this ap
pucniiio wiien mo deceased is a
woman whoso wholo llfo was spent
in alleviating other people's ills.
Wo submit that thcro are two
things of which tho Editor of tho
nforcsnld journal stands most sadly
in need and they nro these: "A
HOOK OF GOOD MANNERS," and
"AN ENGLISH GRAMMAR."
JOHN K. TKNKH'B RISK.
The Story of His Life Rends Like a
Pago of Fiction.
Tho Governor-elect of Pennsylva
nia, John K. Tener, is an Elk of na
tional reputation,, a member of
Charleroi Lodge and Past Grand
Exalted Ruler of tlio order. It is the
first tlmo that a man onco holding
such a position has been chosen as
Governor of any state, and naturally
tho officers of tho order from all
quarters have sent congratulations.
Port Jervls Lodge was among tho
first to perform this duty, Secretary
Porclval sending a suitably-worded
message, conveying tho congratula
tions of tho Lodge, on the day after
election, and on the 25th he receiv
ed a reply from Bro. Tener in per-
Bon in which he says: "I thank you
for your words of congratulation and
hope I may continue to merit your
good will."
From a baseball pitcher to Gov
ernor of tho second greatest and
most populous state in the country
Is the story of John K. Tener's life.
To some this may read like a pago
from the Arabian Nights, but It is
true, and illustrates to what emi
nence a poor man, possessing ability,
can rise In this country. He started
in Hfo on the ball field and was a
favorite with tho "fans" who fol
lowed the game In the 80's, and In
the following years Brother Geo. W.
Moen, the fourth Exalted Ruler of
Port Jervls Lodge, and now a resi
dent of Lake Grove, L. I., played
with him and against him on many
occasions In Brooklyn. Later, he
became a professional, playing with
many of the League teams, and fin
ally reached the pinnacle of base
ball fame when Capt. Anson selected
him as one of tho "Cubs" he took
around the world in 1889-90, when
he astonished many assemblages in
other lands by his ability as a base
ball player. This remarkable tour
was the only one of Its kind ever
attempted and resulted in introduc
ing the American national game in
every quarter of the globe. If It
was not successful in a financial
way, it certainly was from an edu
cational standpoint and resulted in
broadening the views of the mem
bers and John K. Tener profited by
the .lesson it taught. Wherever they
appeared they wore met by great
multitudes. The throngs that
greeted them in Rome were as
large as those that welcomed tho
Caesars, while the peoplo of the land
of the lotus followed them about as
their forefathers did Pharoah's char
iot when they played in the shadow
of the Pyramids where Napoleon
onco marshalled his legions. In tho
flowery kingdom they were feted and
entertained at every place and the
geisha girls converted their bats In
to chop-sticks. In the land of the
kangaroo they were lionized, and the
same story was repeated in every
other country. When they returned
home they came as conquering he
roes and the wave swept Tener into
public office. He was raised from
one position to another and finally
reached Congress, where he display.
ed remarkable ability. In 1887 he
was chosen Grand Exalted Ruler of
the Elks and his term was character
ized by the same wisdom and cau
tion that marked his course as a
public servant.
And this is the story of the life
of the Governor-elect of Pennsylva
nla, who started in life as a base
ball pitcher 30 years ago without
a dollar. In what other country In
the world Is such a thing possible?

Wayne County Man Raises Prize

Honesdale, Pa., Jan. 2. If there's
a championship belt that goes with
hog raising, Georgo Drake, of Tyler
Hill, is going to sprout his claim

body has the handing of It around
When Dr. Tyler died, he left among
other things, a record for hog rais
ing In Wayno county.
"It can't bo beat," they used to
say around the stove of tho village
storo In Tyler Hill.
There were some In the around-
the-stove crowd who reckoned that
Johnson had a chance with Jeffries
and that Jeffries had a chance with
Johnson; they figured out that this
could happen and that could not
happen. But whenever anyone
brought the subject around to hog-
ralslng they all admitted that Dr.
Tyler's record couldn't be trimmed.
Georgo Drake never salu mucn ono
Way or the other on this hog raising
subject. His ambitions and plans
and progress in his attempt to shat

to himself and family. Several
days ago George got the word
around to his neighbors that they
might not be disappointed if they
meandered over to ais farm at a cer

word. This is not quite as good as
tho one last week.
CANDIDATES SHOULD WORK
AS THEY HAVE NEVER WORKED
BEFORE.
From this schedule It id hardly
necessary for us to point out the
advantages of securing every possi
ble subscription this week.
Just think of tho offer which
makes it possible for you to get
5,000 votes on a yearly subscription
where formerly 2,500 votes were
given. A two-year subscription will
count 14,000 votes instead of 7,000,
while a six months' subscription
will count for 2,500 votes Instead
of 1,250.
In the olden times charms were
used to bring about things greatly
desired. Here Is the old saying ad
dressed to the stars:
"Star, star, star, bright:
First star I've seen to-night."
and a hundred others for the same
purpose of bringing good luck.
Then picking up pins is warrant
ed to bring any number of wished-
for happenings. Perhaps each one
of the candidates In THE C1TI
ZEN'S contest has her own partlcu
lar fetish which Is going to bring
her a Tour of Bermuda or a ueautl
ful diamond ring, but in these mod
ern days a little effort will do more
than any number of incantations.
Instead of picking up pins, candi
dates In this contest should pick up
their pencil and receipt book during
the "Double Vote" offer, which ends
Saturday night, January 7, at 9 p
m., and secure every possible 'sub
scription. They count more real
votes toward the prizes than nil the
fetish incantations you may possess.
Redd full details of this offer and
keep hustling until the end.
Name Your Companion.
Each candidate Is required to send
in the name of the young lady whom
they will select as their companion
of the Bermuda Tour In tho event
that they receive the highest num
ber of votes.
To-day tho names of the candi
dates' companions are printed, so
If you have not yet made a selec.
tlon, do so at once.
It should be remembered that tho
person receiving the highest number
of votes will be entitled to take a
friend along with her on tho Tour
of Bermuda at the expense of The
Citizen Publishing Co. So Miss
Candidate get some one of your
hustling friends to help you win.
At present tho chpnees are equ.1i to
all as Is indicated by the nunlbsr
of special ballots issued during the
period ending last Monday.
Tho response to "Opportunity
Days" of THE CITIZEN'S Tour of
Bermuda contest on tho part of the
candidates was double what had
been expected by the Tour depart
ment. All day long Monday the success
ful subscription gatherers flocked to
THE CITIZEN office and turned in
tho business t,hey had completed,
then, hurrying out again, they set
off in search of just one more, or
two ( more, or perhaps three more
persons who might be persuaded to
give a subscription to complete an
other club of ten yearly subscriptions
before tho office closed that night.
Very Successful.
To judge by the number who re
turned, they were most successful
In their quest. By dusk, things be
gan to thicken around us, and by
S you would have thought a recep
tion was going on in the Tour de
partment. Much fun and laughter
and more good solid business went
on.
The result was a bunch of sub
scriptions so large that the manage
ment Is just now beginning to catch
up with It, and the spare moments
have been so few that we really
don't know If there have been any
at all.
The trouble Is you can't know
where anyone else stands. The fact
that you were on the scene Monday
night with a bunch of subscriptions
would bo more reassuring if you did
not know that nearly everyone else
was there, too. It was convulsively
proved that there was to be no walk
over in the winning of the prizes,
and that tho ambitious candidates
must keep right at it if they hope
to keep ahead of their rivals.
Don't Go To Sleep.
Now that tho "Opportunity Days"
are over don't go to sleop. This Is
a real danger to many. They aro
conscious they did well during the
time their efforts counted for most.
They should not lose sight of tho
fact that all of these efforts may be
wasted if they relax their energies
now.
A now orfer has started. Make up
your mind that you will do as much
with the opportunities ofered you
as you havo in the past;
If you have failed up to this time
in the utmost diligence make up
your mind to do still better than at
any previous time,
Tho race Is far from run; indeed,
less than half of the time has elaps
ed, and there is not one of you who
could not even if you were at the
foot of the list overcome your pres
ent handicap in the remaining four
weeks.
Friends Willing.
Other ladles of Honesdale and vi
cinity will find that their friends are
more willing to help them get bun
dles of. votes by subscribing to THE
CITIZEN if they only asked.
Heartily Endorsed.
The contest is heartily endorsed
on all sides. Thj prizes are so val
uable and desirable that they meet
the warm approval of the public.
Married ladles have congratulated
themselves that thoy are not, as is
frequently the tBSe excluded in fav
or of tho youn Biria. Here they
have an equal thanco with all the
pretty and popu)ar maidens, and may
show the "youiger Bet" that they
will have to woifc for their laurels.
No Apolfgy Necessary.
No apology ij necessary when you
ask for a Bubscfptton to THE CITI
ZEN. You knew that full value will
bo received. ou wm not havQ to
explain this to tho old subscribers;
thoy know well what the papers are !
worth, but you aro also interested
in getting new subscribers, for their J
now subscriptions. Point out to them'
tho excellent news service or tneso
papers, their methods of handling
matters of importance all over tno
world, their thoroughness In pre
senting tho local situation. If they
onco get the habit of reading tho
CITIZEN they will not give It up.
Notico To Subscribers.
Be sure to ask for votes when you
pay your subscriptions. Your favor
ito candidate will appreciate tho
votes, you can got when you pay
your subscription. If you do not
ask for votes at tho time you pay
you cannot get them. Several sub
scribers who have paid for tneir
paper a week or ten days ago have
asked for votes within the past day
or two. Votes cannot be issued in
these cases as they were not asked
for at the time tho money was sent
or brought to this office. Bo sure
to ask for votes at the office when
you make the payment unless you
are a contestant.
How Votes Aro Secured.
A coupon will bo printed in THE
CITIZEN which will be good for the
number of votes indicated on tho
faco of the ballot. These ballots
must be clipped out and sent to the
ballot box in THE CITIZEN office
before the expiration of the dato
printed thereon.
The best way to secure votes how
ever, is by securing subscriptions to
THE CITIZEN. Votes are allowed
on subscriptions as outlined In the
voting schedule printed below. With
each cash subscription of $1.50 or
more to THE CITIZEN wo will issue
a certain number of votes according
to the length of the subscription.
Tho certificate votes issued on each
subscription can be voted at' any
time during the contest (subject to
tho voting rules.)
Voting Rules.
No more than 3,000 subscription
votes or coupons per week can be
voted during the first five weeks of
tho contest. After that date no
candidate will be permitted to cast
more than 5,000 more voto3 per
week than tho leader in the contest
had in their published list of votes
on tho previous issue, until January
23, after which time there will be no
restrictions as to the nuiaber of
votes that the candidates may cas't
each day. The above applies to
newspaper ballots. These can be
voted In any quantities desired, be
fore they expire, but not more than
3,000 will appear in the paper each
week. THE CITIZEN, however, re
serves the right to discontinue print
ing the coupons at any time during
tho contest.
Increase in Olco Consumption.
The production of oleomargarine
increased from 92,282,815 pounds in
1900 to 139.755.42G pounds in 1910.
Of this latter amount 3,491,978

pounds were taxed at ten cents per
pound. It Will tliils be noted that
over 97 nor cent, of all tho oleomar
garine manufactured during tho last
fiscal year was taxed at only one
fourth cent per pound. Theso fig
ures aro issued by tho federal inter
nal revenue commissioner and are au
thentic. They clearly demonstrate
tho fact that tho oleomargarine busi
ness Is not working under such a
burden as many people think. Peo
ple have heard so much about tho
ten cent, tax on artlfically colored
oleomargarine that they havo natur
ally associated this tax with all oleo
margarine. As a mutter of fact, less than three
per cent, of the total product Is tax
ed at ten cents per pound, tho re
mainder being taxed only a quarter
of a cent per pound.
An effort will probably be made by
the oleomargarine manufacturers to
secure the repeal of'tho ten cent tax

"Opposition to kisBlng," she said,
"Is ridiculous. When I was a girl,
two women never mot on the street
that they did not kiss. Now women
rarely over kiss each other. Even
the young, because of the declara
tion that kissing breeds disease, do
not indulge' in it. I recently learn
ed that a relative of mine did not
kiss his brldo aftor the wedding
ceremony because ho did not bellevo
in kissing. Somo one should havo
given him a good whipping. As a

the place of a kiss. There Is no
