GOOD EVENING!
(In Tho City).
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.

may appear very small, but in

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 Candidates.
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

limit or restrictions on the number
of votes candidates may vote' each
