WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1011.
John D. Rockefeller has resigned the presidency of the Standard Oil
Company, of New Jersey, but simultaneously ho Is nominated by a Kan
sas magazine for President of the United States.
EVERYBODY WAS PLEASED WITH OUR CHRISTMAS EDITION.
' I wunt tree papers for'de jail burds," remarked a little newsboy who
camo to The Citizen office Friday afternoon. " The're fur de jail burds.
I'll give 'em to 'em. Tanks," the little fellow said. Smiling, ho wheeled
around on his heel and left the office.
The Citizen was sought after by many persons who desired to send ex
tra copies to friends and loved ones. Several thousand papers beside the
regular Issue were distributed throughout Wayno county and from the
many flattering remarks that we have heard we feel justly Topald for our
efforts in presenting to the people of IWayne county the largest Christmas
edition ever to have been issued from a country newspaper office in this
neck o the woods. Elsewhere are published clippings taken from our ex
changes. They speak for themselves.
O. A. McOARTY FOR MAYOR.
The Town Council is worthy of high commendation In its eholce of
Charles A. McCarty for 'Mayor, to succeed the late Hon. John Kuhbach, who
passed away November 10.
Mr. McCarty is a man in whom the peoplo can place all confidence.
Ho stands high in his profession and in the estimation of the citizens of
the town 'as well. He is a man who has the welfare of Honesdale at heart
and will not be afraid to stand out for what is right at all times. Mr. M&
Carty has long been a resident of Honesdale and he is well qualified for
the position to which the Borough Council, 'by an unanimous vote, recom
mended him.
The offlce of mayor or burgess is an important one. It Is an office to
which the citizens of the town look for the enforcement of law and order.
It Is an office that can prohibit the illegal selling of liquor on Sundays. It
is an office that is respected by the public, and one that demands obedl
once. The Citizen most heartily seconds the Borough Council's recom
mendation. According to law the Court approved the Council's action
Monday morning.
PliACE GUARDS AT END OF STREETS.
Owing to Inadequate light at the corner of Court and Eighth streets
Charles 'McVey, a farmer living at Rlleyvllle, drove across Court street
Saturday night and man, buggy and horse went over the retaining wall
Into the Lackawaxen river. The lack of sufficient light at this point was
not the only reason for this accident. Had there been an iron fence of
piping or guard rail of some kind at the end of. the street the outfit would
not have gone over the retaining wall. A safeguard should 'be placed at
the foot of every street Whose terminal Is the river. An iron railing ought
to be erected at once to avert further accidents. The guards need not de
tract from the beauty of the town, as a pattern of some convenlonal design
can be secured that, instead, will add to the attractiveness of the sur
roundings. In no way should a guard rail interfere with the steamers re
ceiving water from the river in case of fire.
Within a year two other parties, one an automobile, came near drlV'
ing off this same retaining wall. We think it less expensive to place
guard rails at the foot of the different streets ending on the banks of the
Dyberry and Lackawaxen rivers, than to pay damage suits brought against
the town for injuries to man and '.beast caused by the careless protection
of the borough's highways.
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF HONESDALE.
"'Bo optimistic."
"I do the very best I know how, the very best I can
and I mean to keep doing till the end. If the end brings
mo out all right, what is said against me won't amount to
anything." Lincoln.
"There is so much bad in the best of us, and so much
good in the worst of us, it hardly behooves any of us to
talk about the rest of us."
Tho writer has the above quoted words where he can see and read
them every day. They carry with them a good lesson and are quotations
that ought to bo memorized by everybody. If they were there would not
be so much unnecessary talk, detrimental both to our industries and indi
viduals. "Talk is cheap," lias well been stated, but don't talk about mat
ters unless It is something in favor of Honesdale or any other place for that
(matter. You are not boosting your town when you talk against It. Be
optimistic and you will see things in a different light. Do not bo a chronic
fault-finder, continually registering objections to this, that and the other
thing. If you have a legitimato kick, file it; but don't go round looking for
any trouble.
The man who is always and forever casting about in hope of discov
ering something that is not exactly the right thing will probably find more
or less at which he can grumble, but in doing so he falls to bring about a
remedy. This applies to every walk of life, and particularly In the con
duct of a borough. If you are not satisfied with the manner In which
the Board of Trade, Business Men's Association or other town organiza
tions' are doing business the remedy lies with you, especially if you are a
member and do not attend the meetings. Those organizations hold month
ly sessions at which time -suggestions are offered and action taken on dif
ferent propositions for the purpose of bettering the town.
If a friend, relative or perchance a stranger crimes to Honesdale, tell
him what a fine place it Is. Do not lay stress on what a place this would
'have been if so and so hadn't happened, or if so and so could be done
with the industries and various lines of business conducted within the
town.
Show every stranger you aro 'happy and contented as indeed you
Should rightly be, and if you possess It, you will soon find that " sour
grapes" feeling wearing off and you will be In a position to meet and greet
your fellowman and be welcomed by him, instead of avoided more or less
as is the case at the present time.
Cheerfully point out to your fellowman that you at least have confi
dence In the future of our town, no matter what the dlsgruntal talk, and
the first thing you know you will find others preaching the same doctrine,
and the result will be astonishing.
Of course it's easier, to kick for some people, .because they're used to
It. But they can bo lifted out of the rut, and it will be a task worth while.
Some peoplo never smile, having been told In their early youth of the
great danger of lockjaw.
The future of Honesdale depends entirely upon Us own people, but
not the ones who live in other places, and Honesdale ten years hence will
be exactly what its people make It. You can do your share and should
do it. Let all turn over a new leaf January 1st and work unceasingly for
a -bigger, better and busier Honesdale.
Concerning the McNanmrns,
The Citizen reproduces from
Town Topics" the following timely
paragraphs under tho caption of
"Saunterings" !
"Labor leaders and lionest work
ingmen aro stunned by tho McNam
ara confessions. If the scoundrels
had been tried, convicted and exe
cuted the leaders would have pro
claimed them as imartyrs, denounced
the prosecution for forging and
planting falso evidence against them,
and called for more money to defeat
the tyrant capitalists. But the con
fessions strip the leaders of all sub
terfuges and reveal them as tho
promoters and accomplices of mur
derers and dynamiters. The honest
workmen now see unmasked tho vil
lains who havo been misleading and
misrepresenting them. They had
been assured that tho McNamaras
were innocent; they had .been told
that capitalists liad corruptly manu
factured all the evidence against
them; they had been mulcted of
over ?190,000 of their hard-earned
savings for a defence fund and then
came tho confessions, disclosing that
all tho talk about Innocence and a
conspiracy of capitalists was a lie, a
cheat, a fraud, deliberately concoct
ed by the leaders to obtain more
money from the Labor Unions. Of
course the frightened leaders cry,
"Wo were deceived!" Deceived by
whom? For ten years they have lm.
posed upon the worklngmen a reign
of terror, similar to that of the Black
Hand, with a systematic succession
of murders, arsons and dynamiting,
and, now that two of their worst em
ployees confess they claim that they
knew nothing about the criminalities
and were "deceived" by tho wretches
whom they 'had supplied with Instru
ments of destruction! Does anyone
believe that tho labor leaders were
Ignorant of the so-called labor out
rages? If so, what an ignorant, stu
pid class of men they anust be, and
how utterly destitute of the quail,
flcations of leadership! No, the per
sons deceived are the masses of la.
boring men. They trusted their
leaders; they cheerfully paid a per
centage of their wages to establish
and maintain Labor Unions, but they
did not Tealize that they were supr
porting a gang of assassins. The
McNamara confessions will open their
eyes to the fact that their best
friends are their employers, not the
smooth-tongued Black Handers who
'have tried constantly to array them
against their employers. The Intel
ligence of American workmen is con
ceded; it 'has been dimmed for a long
time by sophistries, but It will reas.
sert itself now that the true charac
ter of the professional labor leaders
is fully exposed. Nothing can ex
plain away the McNamara confes:
slons. and the duty of the Depart
ment of Justice is to follow them jip
until all the leaders who employed
such criminals as the McNamaras
join them In deserved imprisonment.
" One striking and Important point
in tho McNamara sensation 'has been
overlooked. Had the labor leaders
employed shyster lawyers for the de
fense the trial might have lingered
along for months and the defendants
have been acquitted upon some legal
technicalities. But they secured the
best and highest lawyer available
Clarence Darrow, of California. He
belongs to the great school of which
William M. Evarts was the exem
plar. Hence they were hoist with
their own petard, for, when Mr. Dar
row was convinced that his clients
were guilty, he discharged his duty
to tne court and tne country by ad.
vising them to confess, instead of at
tempting to acquit them by trick arid,
aevice. rne moral is: uo not retain
a great lawyer unless you are inno
cent."
NICE THINGS SAID BY OUR
EXCHANGES.
FOR CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE.
We see It announced that Homer
Greene of Honesdale is talked of as
one of the candidates for congress-man-at-large
at the election to be
held next fall, when this state will
choose six of them. Tho -Tteporter-Journal
seconds the motion. Mr.
Greene is a writer and poet of note
and a successful practicing lawyer
in our neighboring county of Wayne.
Ho is a man of marked ability and
sterling character and we can think
of no one who Is better qualified to
serve his state in the national legis
lature. He Is a staunch (Republican
and was mentioned as a possible
candidate on the Republican ticket in
the campaign recently closed, but
gracefully gave way for the naming
of Mr. Ainey and throughout the'
campaign loyally supported the tick
et. There were many Republicans
In Wayne county who at that time
thought Wayno should have the con
gressional nomination, and some
were disposed to find fault when It
went to Susquehanna county. But
Mr. Greene was not a "kicker," and
from first to last gave "his best ef
forts to the support,of the Republi
can ticket. He measures bountifully
up to the requirements of the con
gressional position and we consider
him an Ideal candidate for this nom
ination. Reporter-Journal, Towan-da.
Tho Honesdale Citizen's issue for
to-day is tho most pretentious news
paper venture ever attempted in
Wayno county. It is a Christmas
number and consists of three eight-
page sections. It is well edited,
brimming full of holiday stories and
advertising, and contains a lot of In
dustrial matter' of peculiar interest
to Honesdale. It reflects credit on
tho ofllco 'from which 'it is Issued and
"the boys who got it out. Scranton

necessary and proper expenses ex
pressly authorized by law; that I
have not knowingly violated any
election law of this Commonwealth,
or procured It to bo done by others
In my behalf; that I will not know
ingly receive, either directly or in

The Honesdale Citizen comes to us
this week enlarged to twenty-four
pages, bulging with advertising and
illustrated Christmas miscellany, the
cover page Is given over to "A
ChrlBtinas Eve Reconciliation," by
Homer Greene, one of Northeastern
Pennsylvania's most talented au
thors. Scranton Times.
Dnmngo From Blight.
Philadelphia, Dec. 11. .Ton mil
lion dollars' damage has been dono
In Pennsylvania by tho chestnut
blight, according to tho commission
appointed by Governor Tener to era
dicate tho disease.
There has been damage In other
states of $15,000,000. This will bo
a small part of the loss, according to
the commission, if the blight Is not
checked, as chestnut timber In Penn
sylvania alone is valued at from
?60,000,000 to $70,000,000.
If the disease Is not wiped out It
will sweep the chestnut forests of tho
south.
The Honesdale Citizen featured
its Christmas edition, printed last
Friday, with an absorbingly Interest
ing story from tho able pen of Hom
er Greene, entitled "A Christmas
Evo Reconciliation." It Is written
In Mr. Greene's best stylo and was a
most appropriate feature for an Is
sue that was one of the most credit
able ever printed in the Citizen of
fice. Other features were industrial,
historical and "borough beautiful"
reviews of iHonesdale. "Prospective
Industries," says the Citizen, "loca
ting outside of the crowded metro
politan districts, would do well, to
investigate Honesdale and the ad
vantages obtained here before going
elsewhere. Your factory would havo
more light. It would bo better ven
tilated and the air pure. Your em
ployes can produce twofold the
amount of work than If they were
located in the stifling air of the
crowded districts of the city." A.
statement of the Pennsylvania game
commissioners that Wayne county
possesses more lakes than any other
in the state was also made promi
nent. Scranton Truth.
