When we left our hotel to go down to business, Tuesday morning, tlio thermometer registered sixteen de grees nbovo zero. "Old Sol" how over was out In nil Ills glory, and did Ids level best to maUo It an ideal Winter morning. "He's a good fellow. Ho gives a cheerful 'Good Morning' to you. That's tlio kind of a man that makes friends." Wo quite agreed with the gentleman who remarked tills to us, In tho course of conversation on a 1). & II. train last Sunday. Then there's nnothcr kind of a nan. "llo's no good to tlio town. He's all for himself." Dear Header, to which class do yon belong? GOOD MOUSING! (On Tho Form). "Oil, Ma!" cried Mary breathless ly, running in to kiss her mother af ter a shonninir trin to Honesdalo with her Father, checks all aglow with pleasure and excitement. "Oil, alar I got the dearest set of real mink furs. Do look at them. Aren't they too nice for anything?" "Yes. Mary," answered her Moth er. My, they must have cost a lot of money! I never had such things when I was a girl," sighed her mother. "Your Pa must have been in awfully good humor to get you such a lovely set." "Yes. Ma. and ho is just tho dear est and best I'n on earth. Furs arc rheaner too after Christmas. wouldn't daro tell you how much they cost." "Now you need a fur hat for every day, Mary. Your big hat will do for' Sundays. Hun along, dear and give your Pa a good old-fashion cd hug." "I will, Mother dear!" MIXED METAPHOHS. When our esteemed down-tbe-nve- nuo contemporary accuses us of "es pouslng tho cause of a new fake re ligion," wo think that ho errs in sev mrnl imnoi'tant narticuliirs. First. Wo espoused tho causo of no religion, but merely endeavored to correct certain misstatements made by our esteemed contemporary. Secondly. Wo question very much whether it can properly be called a "new" religion, slnco its principles arc taken from a volume thousands of years old. Thirdly. If wo judge a treo by its fruits, and estimate a causo by the number of adherents it secures, and tho power and influence of its followers, wo do not see how the teim "fake" can properly bo applied to it. VOTE TRAFFICKING. IJy the indictment and punish ment of hundreds of voters in Adams County, Ohio, tlio question of wheth er it is right or wiong to truffle in votes has been revived. According to tho newspaper reports, this busi ness has been carried on openly and without rebuke in that section, for many years. The niiying and selling of votes has not always been contrary to law in this country. Statutory prohibi tion and penalties aro indeed of modern origin. It used to depend upon tho individual conscience, or upon tho sentiment and opinion of tho community, whether it should bo condemned or tolerated. Tho ballot has been looked upon in enlightened communities, for many years, as a sacred trust, as something to ho held aloof from tho slightest taint of commercialism. And so tho public press of tlio coun try has treated tho Adams county revelations with amused surprise, mingled with contempt and disgust. And yet those people, who were found out in their questionable prac tices, were no worse than their for bears. It would appear that tho pcoplo in that region had tho habit of trallickiiig In votes. Itoth parties Indulged in it. There oven seems to navo been a religious sanction thrown about it as it is said church ciders and oven tho clergy sold their votes. Tills lanientablo stato of uffalrs could only have been posslblo in a backward and isolated community. These good pcoplo had proper views upon most matters', hut it would seem an though in this particular matter, their consciences were not awakened. Tho Court, in, administering salu tary and condign punishment, has made it impossible for thoso pcoplo ever again to plead lguornuco of tho civil or the moral laws involved. As it was, the penalty of live years' dis franchisement was quite severe enougii. The people of Adams county have learned n sad lesson. They learned it well. And it may safely bo taken for granted that never again will such flagrant and wholesale bartering of voles occur in Adams county, Ohio. " Tho votcman dance and tho votc- mnn sing, Tho votenian ho do everything; And when the votemun conies on shore lie spends his money and he votes lor more." Let us sincerely hope that no one of tho thousands of "votcmcu" in Wayne county may o forced to con fess that the best use of a vote is to sell it to the highest bidder. The temptation will bo very great in tlio forthcoming enmpnign, hut it is to bo hoped that the prospect of be ing boarded at tho county's expense as a consequence of yielding to the wiles of tlio tempter, mny havo a deterrent effect.

HARRISBURG LETTER. Capitol Statuary llecomingly Drnp ed Uneasiness About Governor Toner's Appointments Stuart A Popular Governor Always Kept His Promises Capital Clint. January 7, 1911. For several days past a gang of marble setters, under the direction of Plcarelll Brothers, of New York City, have been engaged in placing on the pe destals in front of the State Capitol, tho sculptured masterpieces execut ed by George Gray Barnard, under a commission from tho Capitol Build ing Commission. You can always And a curious crowd watching the performance, making criticisms, giv ing advice and exchanging, opinions. So far only one or two pieces are in place and tho hope that all would be ready by the time Governor Tener is to be inaugurated will probably not he realized, for the work progresses very slowly. The pieces must be handled with tho greatest care so as to avoid all danger of breaking or chipping, and must bo set exactly right. Tho expression, curious crowd, was used advisedly. While only a few persons have been given a glimpse at the statuary, which still reposes in the rough boxes, made of two-Inch plank, somehow there has crept into tho minds of many thoughful persons an Idea that these masterpieces, viewed as they will he by everybody who comes to the Cap itol, for business or for pleasure, ought to be becomingly draped. It was generally supposed they would be, but they are not. And now pro tests are being made to the Commis sion, urging a' covering if tho figures are erected according to the present plan, while art lovers are Insisting that the statuary be put in place just as it is, as the artist meant it should be. Some of the local papers havo opened their columns for an Interchange of opinions, but the question is agitating the State and art students all over the country aro watching tho outcome. Concerning tho statuary itself. there Is no difference of opinion. Competent judges aver that no fin er examples of heroic work have been done since the days of Miche langelo, and the fame of Barnard as a sculptor has been established for all time. It is recalled, with pride and pleasure, that he Is a na tive of Pennsylvania, having been born in Centre county. Ho is In this country at present and will remain until tho groups are in place. It is likely that tho Legislature will make an appropriation to reimburse tho gentlemen who financed Barnard, for, like all great artists, he has not the business faculty well developed. As indicated in a previous letter. tho Senate chose Hon. W. E. Crow as Its President pro tem, and tho House or Representatives elected Hon. John F. Cox to again preside as Speaker. These are good officers and the business of the session will move along smoothly and promptly under their guidance. U. S. Senator Oliver was also re-nominated and will bo chosen for the full term of six years next weok. These prelimi naries out or tno way and Governor Toner Inaugurated on the nth. things In tho law-making branch will settle down to business. There exists more or less uneasi ness about tho Hill with respect to tno attituue or tno new Governor with respect to appointments. He has named Walter Galther as his Private Secretary and Samuel Todd as his Executive Comptroller, but has not Indicated his wishes on any other offlces. Ho desires that Dr. Dixon retain the office of Commissioner of Health, though the Dr. has not giv en a decisive answer. Gossin has been buBy concerning tho Attorney! General's office, and several gentle-1 men have been suggested. Sheriff Joseph Glinilan, Geo. S. Graham, Alox Simpson and F. S. Brown, all of Philadelphia, are mentioned. Also Senator John S. Fisher of Indiana county, Judge Taylor of Washington county and District Attorney Blake ly of Allegheny county. It Is said that the Stato Highway Department will be given a new head, though Mr. Hunter will be re tained In tho office, by reason of his knowledge and experience. Exten sive Work in the direction of good roads will be undertaken in tho near future. Governor Stunrt goes out of office a more popular official than most of his predecessors. Ho has given the people of the state an excellent business administration, has cor rected a number of nbuses, put some splendid laws on the statute books and has religiously kept every prom ise ho made while a candidate and at the beginning of his term. He will be glad to turn over tho reins of government to his successor on tho 17th. N. E. HAUSE. NECROLOGY. Dentil of William Ellison.

HONESDALE DINE BANK is yet young but it has helped many ambitious persons on tho road to independence and auc- cess. I oooooooooooooooooooooooooo If you nro at tho bottom of tho list get busy and win ono of these ballots and go to the top. If you aro among the leaders capturo one of these ballots and "Cinch" the Com panionship Tour. Tho winners of these ballots will not be announced until the last week of tho contest, but will be mailed direct to the lucky candidate. You must realize by this time that the vote is growing smaller as each weok passes. Last week more votes wero given for a single subscription than over before. As each period closes you must work that much harder to secure as many votes as you did at lirst. While at first glance this offer may seem large, yet it is not near as easy as the opportunity offer of a couple of weeks ago. On the other hand there are forty large ballots to be awarded this week. Will you got the first or the last? It's up to you. The Tour manager will write which over one you show you want. Theso ballots will be awarded regardless of district. "Does money turned in on new subscriptions toward tho 50,000 bonus votes also apply on l'e 400, 000 ballot competition?" Such were tho substance of ques tions put to the tour manager yester day. Tho answer Is yes, and every candidate should secure every possi ble now subscription this week and also collect up on every available old subscription. The winning of ono of the big competition ballots and the securing of a number of the new business bal lots for 50,000 votes each, means much toward victory on January 30. Just think of a 400,000 ballot, and you get it all for one week's work. This is the opportunity for the "weaker" candidates to make a big killing Just this one week. Some say that they aro working hard and they are proving what they say by the number they aro turning In. They aro taking advantage of the six days' new business and com petitive offers. Now, what these cheerful candi dates can do can be done just as well by those who are crying that their work is over for lack of field to work in. If others can got subscriptions why can't you? Don't let other can didates get the advantage of you by the simple method of "try, try again" especially during this week. The Bermuda Tours and Prizes in this contest are meant for you. Win it. A contest is an enterprise for thoso In it to work not part of the time but from tho start until the close.

A question for all candidates to ask themselves at the close of each day is: "Did I do all that was possl blo to gain votes to-day?' If you cannot honestly answer in the affirmative then you aro not do ing well enough and you should de cide firmly to Improve to-morrow. Some newspaper contests which havo been conducted in this part o the country have boon arranged so that contestants with money had tho advantage over thoso who depended upon hard work to win the prize. For instance, in one contest vote3 have counted double during the last week of the contest. This easily made it possible for a candidate who had money to spend it during the last day and smother the candidate who had been working hard throughout the contest. In order that nothing of this sort may happen in THE CITIZEN'S con test It is hereby announced that no bonus votes or special inducements of any kind will be allowed during the last few days of tho contest. There will positively bo no deviation from this announcement. The Citizen Publishing Company wants the candidates who have work ed to win the tours and prizes, and this announcement is made with tho idea of taking the affair out of tho hands of tho candidates who may wish to spend their own money. Candidates should look over their "yellow slips" before sending them la to make sure that every name and address is complete. When writing about a subscriber or ordering a change of address, bo sure to glva the complete name and address aa well as the number. A little care given to theso details saves much time and trouble and permits us to give them our immdiate attention. Voting Rules. No more than 5,000 subscription votes can be voted per week, abovo the leader in tho district until Jan. 23, after which date there will be no limit or restrictions on the number of votes candidates may vote' each day.
