A New York man who died recently left ?GO,000

ness. Thus we see that sometimes "little deeds of
kindness" are more than their own reward.

"OOMiKGK MEN AGAIN" AND, LET US HOPE,
FOREVER!
It is seldom that a young man is not happy. If
he is unhappy there is something the matter with him
and he should see a doctor. College men generally
retain their youth longer than those who did not have
the advantage of a college education. To our mind,
that is the greatest benefit a college course can be
stow, far, far greater than the mere book learning he
receives.
A happy man smiles. A college man who is hap
py, tries to make others smile, without giving offense.
In this weary world, there is enough unhapplness,
Heaven knows, without anyone deliberately setting out
to create more. If a slang word, or a silly, nonsensi
cal phrase can brighten up one second of the day, it
has not been spoken or written In vain.
We like to laugh. We like to see others laugh.
Some day, perhaps, the deadly seriousness of life may
freeze the smile upon our lips. Our youth and life and
laughter may be "knocked out of us."
We sincerely hope it will not. Dut if it does, we
shall be sad indeed, for then we shall know that we
are getting old and silly In another sense and we shall
go out of our way to thank the silly young college
man who tries to make us laugh and thus bring hack
our lost and happy youth.
Vive la jeunesso!!!
THE "POPULAR" MAGAZINES, THE POST.MASTEIt
AND THE PUIUilC.
Now that the heart-rending cries for help from the
magazines have softened to a more natural tone, and
tho excitement of the controversy has somewhat sub
sided, It is possible to review tho situation with tho
calm impartiality of the seeker after the plain unvar
nished truth.
Without going into a detailed account of statis
tics, one fnct stands out above the whole mass and
maze of figures quoted on each side of the question,
and that is the bald uncompromising fact of the postal
deficit.
This deficit is estimated at $0,000,000. There are
no arguments against this fact and the accuracy of the
statement cannot be gainsaid. So, then, the only, and,
judging from the amount of vociferous protest raised,
the difficult question to be answered is, "What causes
this deficit?"
Let us see. During tho fiscal year 1910, the third
class of postal matter was practically self-sustaining;
tho first and fourth class matter produced a large reve
nue; and on the carriage of the second class matter
there was a loss of $02,000,000.
No one will attempt to say that these figures, are
not accurate. They are the figures given by the re
port which shows the cost of running the Postal De
partment of the country. Deducting tho earnings of
the three other classes of mall matter from the $02,
000,000 loss Incurred by the second class matter there
Is left that deficit mentioned above.
Ib it to bo marvelled at, that finding an annual defi
cit in his department, the Postmaster General should
recommend a means of wiping it out? Is It not the
practice of practical business men all over the country
whenever and wherever they find a leak in their busi
ness to stop It up as quickly as possible?
Mr. Hitchcock has found a leak in his department
and a leak of considerable size. He has traced it to
its source and found that the leak Is made by the
carriage of second-class mall matter regardless of
what constitutes that class of matter. What does he
do? Simply what every good business man would do
In his place recommend a means of stopping the
leak.
Now It happens that the second class matter is
largely composed of magazines. It also happens that
It costs the government 9 cents a pound to carry these
magazines and deliver them at the door of (he public
at large. And further it happens that a law thirty
years old and still 'effective makes the rate charged
for carrying second-class matter or better, the maga
zines ONE cent a pound.
The simple rule of two and two shows that the
loss to the government Is EIGHT cents a pound. Ob
viously there is only one thing to do and that Is to
repeal that old defective law and pass a now law
which will regulate this enormous annual loss and
this Mr. Hitchcock, with tho added support of Presi
dent Taft, has done.
The Postmaster General has ascertained that tho
deficit may be greatly, if not wholly, cut down by charg
ing the magazines a rate of one cent a pound for the
first 4,000 pounds; that the reading matter and the ad
vertising matter be weighed separately and the weight
of tho reading mattor abovo 4,000 pounds CONTINUE
at the rate of one cent a pound but the advertising,
from which the magazines derive their enormous profits
at tho expense of tho public and tho government, shall
bo charged a rate of 4 cents a pound.
In our opinion this seems to bo an eminently fair
proposition. Why should tho Government be forced
to shoulder tho load and from its profits on the revenue
derived from the carrying of first and fourth class
postnl matter pay tho money into the pockets of tho
magazine publishers? We use the word "Government"
but as a matter of fact it is tho people who pay the
profits in the end.
There is no doubt but that letters can be carried
for one cent Instead of two, and still allow of a fair
margin of profit to tho Government. As has been
pointed out, the $62,000,000 loss in the carriage of
second-class matter or magazines tho terms are near
ly synonymous is decreased to a large extent by the
profits on the carriage of first-class matter or letters.
Taking these facts into consideration, it can be easily
seen that every time you put a two cent stamp on a
letter that could be carried for one cent, you pay the
second penny to the magazine publishers. This Is not
fair, it is not right, it ought to be changed. Mr.

studied the matter of postal rates
before ho recommended thnt the ad

storm of protest against this recommendation by the
publishers shows how close to the core of the question
General has come. Every means at
the publishers, and It Is well known
they can pull are strong Indeed, has
used to prevent tho act now pending
Mr. Hitchcock and the President of the United States
have been accused of everything that the magazine
think of to accuse them. It has been
said that tho new law is to have the effect of driving
those magazines known as the "muckrakers" out of
business entirely and It is because of the fact that the
new act are afraid of just such maga
zines that tills new law has been drafted. These state
ments of the publishers have done more to hurt their
side of the argument than any other one thing, because
no one in their proper senses imagines for one moment
that either the President or the Postmaster General is
actuated by improper motives or is prompted by politi
cal considerations.
The analogy of the business man holds good, any-
and the recommendation that the
law is clearly a proof that the two
responsible for the attempt to stop
this enormous leak each year are good business men
and are merely trying to do their duty as they see it.
To them and to the people who hold them responsible,
that duty moans to check abuse wherever It Is found.
Surely it is an abuse of the postaf service that maga
zines are now carried for one cent a pound when in
reality they cost the government nine. This abuse
ought to be remedied and to our mind the recommenda
tion of tho Postmaster General is the most effective
means of so doing. Let us hope that Congress will
not be bulldozed into discarding tho proposed amend
ment and that the magazines shall hereafter pay their
way.

TWO DILLS OK REPRESENTATIVE JACKSON.
Until about two years ago, tho State of Penn
sylvania paid for the whole care of the criminal insane
excepting the amount of $1.75 per week, which sum
was chargeable to the township where such insane
person had a residence.
By a decision of the Attorney General, however,
since that time the townships have been obliged to
pay the sum of $4,25 a week for the maintenance of
such insane persons and this expense has borne heavily
upon some of the townships of Wayne county and it
seems fair that thero should be no distinction made
between the keeping of the criminal insane and any
other insane.
A bill to make the State pay for the care of tho
criminal Insane just the same as it pays for all the
other Indigent Insane has been Introduced by Mr.
Jackson in the Legislature, as follows, and we trust it
will pass.
"An Act relating to the maintenance of certain
classes of patients in State hospitals for tho Insane.
Be it enacted, etc., That when any lunatic has
been or shall hereafter bo committed to a State hospi
tal for tho insane, upon an acquittal of any crime on
the ground of insanity, or upon arraignment being
found Insane, or upon it being adjudged a suitable
case for confinement, and such lunatic is a menace
upon any county or poor district, the cost of his or her
maintenance in such hospital shall be paid by the State
and by such cqunty or poor district, In the same pro
portions as now are or hereafter may be fixed by law
for paying the cost of the maintenance of the Indigent
insane.
An Act to authorize tho payment by boroughs and
townships of compensation to firemen for Injuries sus
tained In protecting property from fire.
Be It enacted, etc., That whenever there shall be
an organized association of volunteer firemen In any
borough or township within this Commonwealth, tho
chief burgess and town council of such borough, the
commissioners of such township of the first class, and
the supervisors of such township of the second class,
shall have full authority to contract with such associa
tion for the payment, by such borough or township, of
compensation for all Injuries, whether fatal or other
wise, that may be sustained by any member of such
association while engaged in the work of extinguish
ing, or endeavoring to extinguish, fire In or about any
building in such borough or township, or In protect
ing or endeavoring to protect any property In such bor
ough or township from Injury by fire; and such bor
ough or township shall be liable by law, to the per
son so Injured, for the compensation thus contracted
for, and shall bo paid from the borough or township
treasury, as other liabilities of such borough or town
ship are paid."
The above is an Act referred to In an editorial In
The Citizen dated March 15, concerning compensation
of firemen and was Introduced Into the Legislature by
Representative Jackson. It will apply especially to
Honesdale Borough and Texas Township where volun
teer Are companies are maintained, and again, we as
sert that we are strongly in favor of tho bill and we
hope It will pass.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS.
Editor of Tho Citizen:
There Is but one method of at
taining excellence and that is hard
labor. The mottoes of great men
often give us glimpses of the secret
of their characters and success.
"Work! Work! Work!" was the mot
to of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Daniel
Wilkle, and scores of other men who
have left their marks upon the
world. Voltaire's motto was "Tou-
jouis au travail" (always at work).
Scott's maxim was "Never be doing
nothing." Michael Angelo was a
wonderful worker. He even slept in
his clothes, ready to spring to his
work as soon as he awoke. He kept
a block of marble In his bedroom
that he might get up- in the night
and work when he could not sleep
His favorite device was an old man
In a go-cart with an hour-glass upon
it bearing this inscription: "Ancora
imparo" (still I'm learning). Even
after he was blind ho would ask to
be wheeled Into the Belvedere, to
examine the statues with his hands.
Daniel Webster said: "I have work
ed for more than 12 hours a day for
fifty years." Charles James Fox
became a great orator, yet few peo
ple outside of his personal friends
had any Idea of how he struggled to
perfect himself in the "art of all
arts." He never let an opportunity
lor speaking or self-culture pass un
improved. Henry Clay could have
been found almost dally for years in
some old Virginia barn, declaiming
to the cattle for an audience. He
said: "Never let a day go by with
out exercising your power of speech."
Caesar controlled men by exciting
their fear; Cicero by captivating
their affections and swaying their
passions. The Inlluence of one per
ished with its author; that of the
other continues to this day. Beech
er used to practice speaking for
years In the woods and pastures.
"Work or starve," Is nature's mot
to, and it is written on tho stars
and the sod alike, starve mental
ly, starve morally, starve physically.
It is an inexorable law of nature
that whatever is not used, dies.
"Nothing for nothing," is her max
im. If wo are idle and shiftless by
chance, wo shall be nerveless and
powerless by necessity. Wo are tho
sum of our endeavors. Our reward
is In the race we run, not In the
prize. A Southern student at An
dover bought some wood, and went
to Professor Stuart to learn whom
he could get to saw it. "I am out
of a job of that kind," said Mr. Stu
art; "I will saw it myself." Do not
choose your life-work solely for the
money that you can make by It;
rathor choose your life-work for the
good that you can put into it with
tho realization that you aro endow
ing yourself with the higher intelli
gence which fits all men for the
everlasting existence beyond the
grave. The Creator might have giv
en us our bread ready-made. He
might have kept us In luxurious
Eden forever; but he had a grander
and nobler end in view when he
created man, than the mere satisfac
tion of his animal appetite and pas
sions. There was a Divinity within
man which the luxuries of Eden
could never develop. There was an
inestimable blessing in that curse
which drove him from the garden,
and compelled him forever to earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
It was not without significance that
the Creator concealed our highest
happiness and greatest good beneath
the sternest difficulties, and made
their attainment conditional upon a
struggle for, existence. Our motive
power is always found in what wo
lack. Never feel above your busi
ness. All legitimate occupations are
respectable. The ploughman may be
a Clnclnnatus, or a Washington, or
he may bo a brother to the clod he
turns.
"Laboremus" (we must work) was
the last word of tho dying Emperor
Severus, as his soldiers gathered
around him.
"Labor," "achievement," was tho
great Roman motto, and the secret
of her conquest of the world, Tho
greatest generals returned from
their triumphs to the plough. Agri
culture was held in great esteem, and
it was considered tho highest com
pliment to call a Roman a great agriculturist.-
Many of their family
names were derived from agricultur
al terms, as Cicero from "Clcer," a
chick pea, and Fabeus from "Jaba,"
a bean, etc. The rural tribes held
the foremost ranks In the early days
of the Empire. City people were
regarded as the Indolent, nerveless
race. Rome was a mighty nation
while Industry led her people, but
when her great conquest of wealth
and slaves placed her citizens above
the necessity of labor, that moment!

Christ did not say: "Come unto me, '

noble manhood or womanhood will
lift any legitimate man In this un
stable equilibrium lest the satisfac
tion from tho possession of that
which he struggled so hard to get
rob him of his ambitions for new
conquests. Tho struggle to obtain is
the great gymnasium of the race.
Labor Is the school-master of the
race. It Is the grand drill In life's
army, without which we aro only
confused and powerless when called
Into action. What a teacher indus
try is! It calls us away from con
ventional Instructions, books, and
theories and brings us into the
world's great school into actual
contact with men and with things. I
The perpetual attrition of mind up
on mind rasps off the rough edges of
unpractical life and gives polish to
character. It teaches patience, per
severance, forbearance, and applica
tion. It teaches method and sys
tem, by compelling us to crowd the
most possible Into every day and
hour. Industry Is a perpetual call
upon the judgment, the power of
quick decision; it makes ready men,
practical men. "Why my Lord,
said an English clergyman to tho
Bishop of Litchfield, "it Is tho easi
est thing In the world to preach.
Why, I choose my text after I go
into the pulpit, and then go on and
preach a sermon, and think nothing
of it." "Ah, yes," said tho Bishop,
"that agrees exactly with what I
hear your people say, for they hear
the sermon and they, too, think noth
ing of It." They all long for success
but they want It at a discount. The
"one price" for all is too high. They
covet the golden round in the lad
der, but they do not like to climb
the difficult steps by which alone It
can be reached. They long for vic
tory, but shrink from the fight.
They are forever looking for soft
places and smooth surfaces where
there will be the least resistance,
forgetting that the very friction
which retards tho train upon tho
tracks, and counteracts a fourth of
all the engine's power is essential
to its locomotion. Grease the track
and though the engine puffs and the
wheels revolve, the train will not
move an inch.
Work is difficult in proportion as
tho end to be attained Is high nnd
noble. God has put the highest
price on the greatest worth. If a
man would reach the highest suc
cess ho muspay the price himself.
No titled pedigree, no money inherit
ed from ancestors with long bank
accounts, can be given in exchange

Hints To Gasoline Engine Users-
Money Saving In Fuel.
Editor The Citizen:
There aro many of the farmers us-
ing gasoline engines for a great
many uses and some of them no
doubt would like to run them as sav
ing as possible. We have a -horse
power engine and 'after running
awhile on gasoline, using five gallons
a day, wo tried kerosene and did
more work on three gallons, running
a thresher at the rate of 40 bushels
per hour. Fuel Is cheaper and as
there Is plenty of lubricant In kero
sene the oil cup at top of cylinder
can be shut olf, saving considerable
lubricant. In starting, vvo prime
the carburetor with gasoline and on
very cold mornings when starting we
remove spark plug, put three or four
teaspoonsful of gasoline In cylinder
and light with match. This warms
the cylinder and makes the oil fire
very easy when ready to start.
Be sure all lost motion on piston,
is taken up and bearings kept well
oiled. In case of a hollow sound
ing explosion cut off some of tho air
or increase the oil. We find in using
kerosene that needle valve can be
shut for further and more air used
giving greater power with less fuel.
Tho gasoline engine is a great boon
to farmers for grinding feed, saw
ing wood, threshing and such pur
poses and a small one for pumping
water, churning, washing and sep
arating, makes a farmer's wife feel
happy. Some may ask why don't the
automobiles use kerosene? The rea
son is that there are more fumes
and the fumes are very dense, but
the farmer can nearly always sot up
out-aoors or run his exhaust out
doors while so many autos running
in me city streets would choke tho
already impure air of the city.

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced It a local disease
and prsiurlbed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
