WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ii, lt)IH
The year book and almanac of tho Harrlsburg Telegraph Is just off tho
press. It is one of tho neatest and most useful of theso mints of Informa
tion, that lias como to our notice. It is replete with facts that make It
unusually valuable for reference and Is easily tho best that has over been
produced by this progressive newspaper. If you desire a copy send fifteen
cents In stamps to this office and it will bo promptly mailed you.
TELL THE PEOPLE THROUGH THE CITIZEN.
Now that tho Christmas season is past, it is no good reason why mer
chants should not advertise. Advertising to an up-to-date store is just as
necessary the year around as is lights, clerks, and good to sell, for what
in the name of common sense Is the uso of engaging In business, and 'how
can you expect to sell all the goods you ought to without telling tho people
about it. There is no better way to tell tho people of this section that
you have something to sell than through Tho Citizen.
ItUSlNESS IMPROVING.
That general business conditions about the country have been good for
some time past there can be no doubt. Not since the year 1907 have there
been such armies of persons in steady employment as during tho closing
months of 1911, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The change fom tho de
pression of last summer has been remarkable. The European situation has
bettered very much, and tho financial ease that exists there now, If peace
continues to govern tho action of the great nations, will change by Feb. 1,
1912, to a great surplus of uninvested cash and be seeking tho world, over
for investments.
It must not be forgotten that since last March, when Europe commenc
ed to mark time awaiting diplomatic developments, and our industries and
great investing interests put down tho brakes upon expansion of trade,
1350,000,000 In new gold has been added to tho cash resources of the
world. Kings may sulk or quarrel, statesmen may negotiate or cease to
do so, legislators may differ and bankers may grow cautious, 'but the fact
remains clear and Indisputable that tho world has $350,000,000 in gold
more to do business with than it had April 1, 1911.
Every day adds to tho stock of gold, and tho new gold must be put
to work. It can make no money while idle, and here is one of tho great
factors of continued good business the country over, even while pessimism
prevailed in the money centers. Whilo capitalists doubted and talked and
looked blue Ihe stocks of cash, gdld and silver and paper all increased and
now they suddenly find it advisable to put their own Idle funds to doing
duty in tre world's work.
Five hundred 'million dollars of new gold every year Is a tremendous
accelerator of tho business of tho globe, and Its continuance for years can
not be doubted. ",
RETROSPECTION.
The experience of the past is the safest If not indeed the only safe
guide by which our lives should be governed and our conduct towards our
fellowmen regulated.
Such experience may be garnered from our observations of tho lives
of others as well as from our own, and both should prove undoubtedly tho
most valuable lessons and the most impressive that could be taught. Tho
errors, mistakes and short comings by which our lives in the past may have
been marred, should be used by us as lessons of precaution and as danger
signals for our conduct In the future, In this way only can we derive profit
from our own past experience, or that gained from our observation of oth
ers. "To most men experience is like the stern lights of a ship, which Il
lumine only tho track It has passed," and again, "All Is lip wisdom which
wants experience." Let us then make uso of the past In our efforts to per
fect our lives In the future. Experience is said to bo a costly school. This
may be true as it undoubtedly is, but if used to tho best advantage it is
worth all its cost; furthermore tho experience is ours, tho cost great or
small has been exacttd yea and paid. So It Is for us tosay whether or
not we shall profit from what has been purchased, at so high a price.
Shakespeare says "Our own precedent passions do Instruct us." Of course
the great dramatist must be understood to mean If wo are willing to bo
instructed. Byron with his characteristic sarcasm, has given us Ills version
of the subject, when ho fays: "He who hath proved war, storm or woman's
rage, hath won the experience which Is deemed so weighty, whether his
winters be eighteen or eighty," but he must have proved war, storms or
woman's rage, in order to win tho experience looked upon as of so much
value. No man was ever endowed with a judgment so correct and judicious
in regulating his life but that time and experience would teach lilm some
thing now, and show him that of thoso things which ho thought himself
the best acquainted he knew nothing and with apologies for again quoting
Shakespeare, "Experieine is by industry achieved, and perfected by the
swift rourse of time." If experience is so valuable why not utlllzo it more
frequently In our every day lives.
In order to learn tho most usoful lessons, and derive the greatest
benefits from the past It is necessary for us to stop at regular or irregular
periods as we journey through life and take a retrospective glance over the
past that we may see where our errors are, where our mistakes and short
comings havo been, how they may be avoided In tho futuro or at least les
sened or mitigated.
Such a process in tho trades and commerce Is deemed escential to suc
cess In any business. All good business men In tho ordinary occupations
of lifo deem it necessary to suspend operations at least long enough and
often onough to learn whether tholr business is in a healthy condition, in
other words Whether they aro making progress or loosing ground.
Custom and convenience havo long since united In designating ns tho
most appropriate time for such suspension the first day of each year known
as Now Year's Day, and tho reason must bo apparent to the most super
ficial thinker. A year is tho most convenient as well aB tho most natural
division of time by which such matters may bo regulated, and so on each
recurring Now Year's day there comes instinctively to most people a dis
position to renew their efforts to achieve greater success either in their
temporal affairs or In the moral and spiritual lifo, to mako resolutions to
profit by tho experience of tho past, or to recall or remake thoso of ono
short year ago which wore Intended to raise our lives to a higher piano of
existence.
It seems on Now Year's morning as If wo have reached anothor mile
stone in our onward Journey towards our final goal, and anothor pago has
been added to our life's history which must remain forever, unchanged
with all its orrors, and Its Imperfections, but another opportunity 1b of
fered, another chance Is given In the now year yet unmarred by tlmo or
error, Now hope springs In the hearts of thoso who really wish to improvo
upon tho past, and mako tholr futuro free from former orrors.
"Look not mournfully Into the past, it comes not back again, wisely
Improvo the present. It is tlmo; go forth to meet tho shadowy ifuturo
without fear and with a manly heart."
Mako resolutions did I say? Yes, mako resolutions and then put
forth nn honest, earnest effort to keep them. Good resolutions always
help, they nover hinder; mako an effort to keep thorn 'but whether you
keen them or break them, bp stiro you make thorn, then with your experi
ence of tho past as your lnfalablo guide, turn toward tho futuro with pro
gress as your watchword, knowing as you do that progress Is tho law or
creation.
Mako resolutions did you say? Yos, resolvo that tho pago of your
llfo's history written by tho noiseless and invlslblo hand oftimo during
nineteen hundred and twelve shall t ord of you hotter and nobler things
than that of nineteon hundred and eleven can show. Yes, resolvo that
your record for tho year now commencing shall contain fowor and smaller
errors than that of the year Just closed; that it will contain loss selfish
ness and more generosity, more charity, more humility, more sympathy,
more forgiveness than that of any previous year. Yos, make these resolu
tions with a firm purpose to keep them, the very making of thorn with tho
proper disposition will go far towards securing for you a cleaner record,
unmarred by errors at the close of nineteen hundred and twolvo.

Circuit Courts Aro No More.
Tho Circuit courts of tho United
States went out of existence on Sat
urday. This Is In accordance with
the Federal codo that was enacted
on March 3 last. Tho effect of this
to the general public will hardly bo
noticeable. Nevertheless, a court
that nas a great history will como
to an end, one that has prominently
shared In tho administration of tho
national law and in tho upholding of
tho authority of tho government.
Tho new law gives one Federal court
of original jurisdiction In each dis
trict, ono Intermediate court of ap
peals and ono final court of Supremo
jurisdiction.
CHIIiDltEN ON THE STREETS.
It has been proven beyond all pos
sibility of contradiction that tho
greatest percentage of boys and girls
who aro brought boforo tho courts
for dellqueucy owe their wayward
ness to tho education they have re
ceived on tho streets at night. Tho
school of tho streets Is a bad ono
In which to receive an education. It
is ono of tho factors that must bo
carefully guarded. Tho remedy
must bo keeping tho children off tho
streets at night or to mako tho
streets fit places for children. It is
almost impossible to do tho latter.
It is possible to do the former. Tho
city streets aro public property. Any
ono is entitled to walk tho Btreets,
provided they do not violato any
statutory ordinance In doing so. Tho
city authorities havo no power to In
tervene. The moral character of tho
pedestal counts for nothing. The
parent of the child has authority to
keep the youngsters at home and the
wlso parent will exercise this au
thority. Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Merger of "Golden Seal."
At a meeting In Binghamton of 75
delegates from councils all over tho
country a merger was perfected in
which tho Order of tho Golden Seal
consolidates with tho Fraternal Lifo
and Accident Association of Rich
mond, Va., and tho combination will
hereafter conduct business under the
namo of the Golden Seal.
By combination of tho two forces
several advantages are to be deriv
ed, according to officers of the socie
ties. Tho membership of the Golden
Seal is increased from 20,000 to 25,
000; tho power of the order will bo
strengthened and financial advant
ages will developo in tho courso of
time.
Few changes will be necessary In
tho by-laws and regulations, as by
tho merger all present rulings-' of
tho Golden Seal Order aro to pre
vail. Officers in charge of tho Rich
mond association -will continue to
conduct tho executive duties until
tho next regular national meeting,
at which time the additional mem
bers will have a voice in election of
tho supreme officers.

CONG HESSMA X-AT- LARGE.
Tlio stato of Pennsylvania will
havo four Congressmen at Largo, and
the Republican candidates for this
place will receive their nomination
from tho Republican Stato Conven
tion which will meet In May next.
Because of tho Increased population
of Philadelphia and Allegheny coun
ties wo see it assumed that each of
these counties will name a candidate,
and that tho othor two will he taken
from "tho remaining counties." Wo
don't know how this will suit "tho
remaining counties," but if Philadel
phia and Pittsburg have inado up
their .minds to do it this way we
suppose this is tho way It will bo
done, whether "the remaining coun
ties" llko It or not. Tho selection of
theso candidates for Congressman-at-Largo
Is going to bo nn embarrassing
matter for tho Stato convention, "as
there will bo thirty or forty candi
dates in tho field. .Tho olllco of Con-gressman-at-Largo
will only last for
two years as the stato will bo redls
tricted by tho Legislature In 1913.
Tho Reporter-Journal has alroady
voiced its proforonco for a candidate
for Congressiuan-at-Largo from this
section of tho stato. Wo strongly
favor tho selection of Mr. Homer
Greono of Wayno county, and In do
ing so wo are confident that no bettor
mnn for tho placo can be named.
Eastern Pennsylvania Is entitled to at
least ono of thoso four candidates,
and whoro Is there a man who meas
ures up to tho requirements of the
position hotter than Homor Greene?

CLASS OF I DOG HOLD BANQUET.
It is seldom that a graduating
class of tho Houcsdalo High school
has been ablo to got together, for tho
purposo of renowlng tho acquaint
ances of high school days, with us
much succu&s ns tho Class of 1900
recently uUiieved. Early In the
mouth of December 'Edward D. Katz,
who was President of tho clnss, Is
sued invitations to tho members to
meet nt his homo on the evening of
December 28.
1 he class numbered twenty-four at
graduation time, nnd Mr. Katz re
ceived acceptances from twenty of the
class. Two members aro at present
nt distant parts and two others wero
unablo to attend.
On Thursday evening tno homo of
Mr. Kntz was thrown open to tho
class and n fow Invited friends and
tho way in which that crod ct "boys
and girls" recounted stories of high
school days would havo delighted tho
members of tho inculty that worked
so hard to instil' knowledge Into the
best of all classes. After tho hap
penings of tho past five years had
been told, "500" was the next -diversion.
Miss Allco Simons and Joseph
Katz, making tho 'highest scores.
After tho games Mr. Katz an
nounced that tlio dining room was
inviting tho attention of tho guests.
Inviting, Is an Inadequate word to
describe tho dining room as it was
presented to tlio viow. Tho tables
wero lighted with candleabra, with
shades of tho class colors, gold and
black. Tho place cards were mlna
turo hand-painted turkeys, tho work
of Miss Allco Simons, a member of
tho class. At each place was a pon
nnnt of gold cloth, with tho words of
tho class song printed in black. Each
member of tho class received as fa
vors, a passe-partouted card with the
following inscription: " Reunion
Class of 190C, Honesdalo High
School December 2S, 1911." Un
der tills was a small photograph of
the old high school building and at
tho bottom of the card part of tho
class song.
Alter tno guests wero seated a
dainty luncheon was served. Presi
dent Katz presided as toastmastcr.
In a few words he Informed thoso
present that ho was more than pleas
ed with tho response to tho invita
tions and that ho sl.icerely hoped
that the members of tho class would
continue to respond whenever a re
union was called. To assist In the
merriment ho called upon almost
every member of the class and each
responded with talks that were very
much like the talks of high school
days. At the class night exercises In
190G Mr. Katz presented each mem
ber of tho class with an appropriate
gift. To recall the old days more
clearly ho presented to each member
at tho reunion a small replica of the
gifts of class night. This feature
caused much merriment as the
changes that time brings gave added
meaning to moro than one gift.
Tho members of the class and oth
er guests who were present speak In
the highest terms of the hospitality
of the former President of the class
and the occasion will long be remem
bered by all.
The members of the class who
were present: Misses Florence

Farmers' Week nt Stato College.
State College. The 2,000 students
of this college town are absent but
500 enthusiastic farmers from vari
ous parts of tho stato are attending
the lectures or Farmers Week.
Professor W. H. Maclntiro spoke
on soil analysis. Professor II. Van
Norman on daily cattlo judging and
gave exhibitions in that lino. Dr.
J. D. Stewart lectured on lime sul
phur as a summer spray.
Perhaps tho greatest enthusiasm
was shown In tho lecture on the
commercial fattening of poultry,
given by Harry M. Lamon, of the
United States Department of Agri
culture. Ho said that tlio great
I packers controlled 80 per cent, of
( tho poultry produce of the country.
uno piant no 'mentioned fattens 20,
000 hlckons. It buys up in the Mid
i dlo States poultry from t'ho farms or
i rancho3 and fattens it mainly on
milk. These great fattening plants
supply tno dining car sorvlco and
great cities.
Judging by their many nuiuiries
tlio ladies present wero most Inter
ested in poultry breeding, in answer
, to a question as to utilizing the
1 blood in killing, Lamon stated that
I at a great duck slauglitor plant on
Long Island they fed tho blood to
tho ducks and saved the cost of meat
scraps. Tho best breeds 'for meat,
the best food for brollors and othor
valuable data wore given in tho lec
ture. Aftor theso department lectures
tho whole instituto heard Dean Al
fred Vivian, of tho Ohio School of
Agriculture, on "Organic Matter, tho
Koystono of Soil Fertility," In tho
old chapel. Tho burning of straw
and hny stubble Is a farmer's dam
nation, ho said. Plowing It undor
is his salvation. Besides stablo ma
nure, hay, straw and fodder crops,
green manuring, such as clover crop,
Is -most valuablo in keeping up tho
soil or restoring It, "To tho farmer
that grows clover all things shall bo
addod," was ono of his promises. Tho
uses and tho valuo or organic mat
ter to tho soil In sorvlng as plant
food, Is making it frlablo In aiding
bacteria to store up nitrogen and
mainly In holding moisture wero oin
phaslzod. Dean Vivian most vividly
portrayed tho valuo of a proper crop
rotation to tho farmer In kooplng up
his land.

FAVOR CONTINUANCE OF EFFI
CIENT STATE OFFICIAL
WRIGHT WILL ALLOW NAME
TO HE PRESENTED THAT HE
.MAY BE ELECTED NEXT NO
VEMBER. (Special to Tho Citizen.)
Philadelphia, Dec. 28. While sov-
oral well-known men havo been men
tioned for tho nomination for Stato
Treasurer by tho Republican con
vention, which will meet In Harrls
burg about tho mlddlo of May, In
fluential leaders in the State organi
zation yesterday predicted the nomi
nation of Stato Treasurer C. Fred
Wright to succeed himself.
Interest in this issue was accentu
ated by a report that friends of Ma
jor Milton A. Ghorst, of Reading, aro
considering tho advisability of press
ing ror ins nominaton to succeed Mr.
Wright. Major Gherst is a former
Department Commander of tho Grand
Army of tho Republic and was identi
fied with tho National Guard for
many years. Ho was a Stato Bank
Examiner before ho was elected
president of a trust company In
Reading. His fitness and eligibility
aro generally conceded, but In the
opinion of men who take an active
part in State politics there is little
doubt or the nomination of Mr.
Wrght, If he shall bo a candidate.
Up to date Mr. Wright has made no
public declaration upon tho subject.
A close friend of Mr. Wright said
last night that ho believed ho will
allow his namo to be presented to
the convention, so that ho may be
elected by a popular vote next No
vember.
Mr. Wright succeeded John O.
Sheatz In the Stato Treasurer's office
by appointment by Governor Edwin
S. Stuart, following the death of
Jeremiah A. Stober, of Lancaster, af
ter he had been elected on tho Re
publican ticket, along with A. E.
SIsson, the present Auditor General
and Justice Robert von Moschzisker,
of the Supreme Court. Mr. Stober
died before ho could qualify as State
Treasurer and the incumbent, Mr.
Sheatz, claimed the right to continue
in office until his successor should be
elected by the public. The courts,
however, decided In favor of the
Governor's appointee and Mr. Wright
was sworn in as State Treasurer.
His administration has been emin
ently satisfactory and his admirers
say that on this account and in view
or the fact that this is first elective
State office held by a Republican or
Susquehanna county, ho should be
accorded a nomination by tho Re
publican State convention to succeed
himself.
Mi-. Wright's supporters declare
that in the case of a contest he will
have tho backing of the entire east
ern and north-eastern sections of the
State, where he has been prominent
in Republican politics for years. He
is well equipped Tor the position or
Treasurer through his experience as
a financier. He was ma.lo teller of
the First National Bank of Montrose
in 1S75, and six years later became
identified with tho First National
Bank of Susquehanna, of which he
was cashier for a long period. He Is
interested in a number of manufac
turing and other business enterprises.
Ho served in the Firty-sixth, Fifty
seventh and Fifty-eighth Congresses.
His brother, tho lato Myron B.
Wright, preceded him In Congress.
Stato Treasurer Wright has been a
delegato to a number of Republican
National Conventions and is tho rec
ognized Republican leader in his
county.
Owing to the recent enactment of
constitutional amendments, a ques
tion has been raised as to whether a
successor to Auditor General A. E.
SIsson is to be chosen at the Novem
ber election. This issue may be
takefi before the courts shortly to
havo the matter finally determined.
Tho State Convention will bo called
upon the nominate four candidates
for Congressmeu-at-I.argo and the
full Presidential electoral ticket and
to elect twelve delegates and twelve
alternates-at-large to the Republican
National Convention.
