JAPAN'S SILENT HERO. Admiral Togo, who has just left our territory with the good will and affection of the entire country save perhaps, Mr. Hobson has never In all his life spoken as many words as Senators La Follette or Bailey will produce In the course of an average day. But this doesn't mean that the Japanese hero, whose fame ranks with that of the gallant Nelson, Is less progressive than the esteemd Senators. Not at all. The difference be tween the admiral and the Senators is that he Is a dealer in actions whilo they deal In a Senatorial commodity known as " words." All of which goes to prove that the man who does is never a talker. He is a doer. Still, Togo can be more eloquent than the Senators, when he wishes. Witness his speech to the spirits of the dead of his own command at the Aoyama cemetery. But on that occasion, there came to pass an Incident much more eloquent than even his memorable speech. The Admiral took a child by the hand, a child whose father had died In battle; "Come," said he, "for I am going to talk to your father." And his eyes filled as those of a woman. The Admiral Indeed Is more famous for his love for chil dren than for his victories among those who know him well. :0: " m y WHAT BECOMES OF THE GOLD? The average citizen sees little gold. Probably most of us are so un familiar with It that we would have to look closely at a gold coin to make sure whether it was of five, ten, or twenty dollar value. Possibly the average citizen has a gold watch and his wife may own a ring or two. And yet 500,000,000 dollars' worth of new gold comes into the world every year. At least half of this is colnod, and the other half is used Industrial ly, watches, rings, brooches, bracelets, etc., etc. What becomes of this huge amount? Why doesn't the average cltt zeii see more of it? It is said that most of the raw gold goes to five or six London re finers, no matter to what use It Is put after It leaves their refineries. Thus about a third to ahalf passes into Industry. Of the rest, which Is coined Into money, a very large proportion finally reaches the great government banks. Thus, In the ten years from 1900 to 1910, of a total production of $3,800000,000, more than $1,800,000,000 went to swell these reserves, Increasing them from $2,400,000,000 to nearly $4,400, 000,000. And If to the government banks or treasuries wo add the great credit establishments of the whole world, we find that a very .small propor tion of the gold mined finds its way Into the purses of Individuals. 'Pi.-' :0: THE POSTAL BANK AS A MEANS TO SAVE MONEY. To our mind, the best advantage of the new postal saving s system, which Is to bo established here September loth, is the' opportunity it gives to the depositor of very small sums to save money. For Instance one of the regulations reads as follows: " Amounts less than $1 may be saved for deposit by the purchase of 10-cent postal-savings cards and adhesive 10-cent postal-savings stamps. Each postal-savings card contains blank spaces to which savings stamps may be affixed from tlmo to time as purchased, and a postal-savings cardw ith nine 10-cent savings stamps thus affixed will be accepted as a deposit of $1 either in opening an account or in adding to an existing account." ... , tv,,, tho hov or eirl or the man or woman on a small salary who wants to start a savings account but the first dollar saved, can purchase a and stick the ten cent postal-savings .iioc nf.m,,intf. until he eets his open his account. Of course the small depositor can put his dimes in a cup or a toy bank, Just as well, but there is always the possibility that something will turn up that he may want to buy, and away goes the little savings But with the cards and stamps the temptation Is not as strong and If he adheres conscientiously to the plan outlined he win De surprise how fast his account will grow. in n aomnu.hat. similar way. the same principal applies to this meth od of saving as applies to the trading stamps, which have had and are hn..tn ,,pV, n nnwnrful influence on With the postal system, tho small depositor can watch his dimes in the forms of stamps grow on the postal card and there is a great deal of satisfaction In this, as everyone knows who has ever saved money by this method. ... . , n,, na nno nnHiiislastic feminine believer in the postal VllU J I M W system of saving said to us tho other PEOPLE'S FORUM Mr. Editor: Out of fairness to tho traveling public, the writer wants to ask a few questions, which has long been un answered and has always appealed to patrons of tho Erie railroad as oelng unfair to them and unfair to the Honesdale branch of the Erie railroad and the people living in Honesdale. I purchased tickets from Chicago to Honesdalo with stop-over privileges. I asked the agent if tho train would stop at Lackawaxen and he turned to his tariffs and read from them to me. I felt assured that all would be well and purchased my Pullman tickets expecting to ride through to Lack awaxen without an interruption. Much to mv surprise tho conductor told me when near BInghamton that tho train upon which' I was riding did not eton at Lackawaxen, but that it did ston at Hancock, where I could change cars and secure trans portation over tho Ontario and Western railroad to Carbondale and from thence over the Delaware and Hudson to 'Honesdale; or that I could wait for a local train which would follow in about ten minutes. I was muloish and klckod, stating that I purchased my ticket in Chi cago with the privilege of stopping at Lackawaxen and -wanted to know tho reason why. The conductor claimed ho didn't know why, but that was the order. I got off at by the Citizen Publishing Company. at the postofflco. Honesdale, Pa. PRESIDENT MANAGING EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR E. D.

Tho question which seems unfair to the people of Honesdale and tho Rrln railroad itself. Is. why does the management of the Erie transport or suggest that its passengers buuh travel over another road to reach their destination when the Erie has n mad of its own coming directly Into Honesdale? Passengers will probably go to Scranton or Carbon dale and remain all night and come to Honesdale the folowlng morning, whereas tho Honesdale hotel-keepers would .be benefited If tho commer cial travelers could reach Honesdale that night. 'By doing so they could save considerable time, it would also be appreciated by people visit ing here who come from the West. Leaving Chicago six hours later on another road I can arrive In Honesdale' the samo time by board' inc Erie No.-2 at Buffalo as if left Chicago at 11 o'clock. For my part I cannot see how tho people of Honesdalo tolerate such treatment. It Is something for your Board of Trado to take up. CHIC AGO ITE, GOOD EXCUSES ONLY ACCEPTED FOR ABSENT PUPILS.

Scout Masters, who are register ed for the Boy Scouts of America, write many letters to headquarters telling of the development of boys through the scout activities. They report that rough boys have been made gentle, that mischievous boys have been taught consideration for others; weak boys encouraged to take part in athletic exercises, have grown strong, and that boys general ly have become more thoughtful at home and more patriotic. Because of the good Influence of the Boy Scout movement, business men are taking a still greater Inter est in it. School teachers, profes sional men and others aro contribut ing to the work and are urging the upbuilding of the Scout troops in their respective towns. Edward G. Jenkins, Scout Master of Troop No. 11, Honesdale, Boy Scouts of America, is highly pleased witn tne work his twenty boy scouts have done in the last four or five months. He is leading the boys through the various scout activities, and reports that the boys are follow ing out the scout program zealously and eagerly. Though all his boys are required to work during the sum mer, they make arrangements to get away in camp for a week, having earned the .money for tho expedition. Jenkins had local doctors teaching tho boys first aid and was helped by one who had spent years in the woods in the northwest. " If," writes Jenkins, " I say that tho boys in a short time have developed far beyond my expectations and that I am as proud of them as any mother could be, am I not telling you enough of what my boys are doing constantly and the great Interest among the people; of the Inveterate cigarette smokors who have quit the habit and aro fighting it every day in their hearts, I could write much. One of my boys, fourteen years old, printed the letter head on which I am writing this letter." YOUR SAVINGS IN THE- FARMERS AND MECHANICS BANK $1 Will Open an Account. SPECIAL ELECTION.
