DOINGS ON CAPITOL IHIilj. Kill DAY, JANUARY 2(1, 1IMU. THOUGHT FOR A DAY. "A sound body is good; a sound mind Is better, but a strong and clean character Is better than either." Theodore Roosevelt. Democratic national conventions were hold in 'Baltimore In 18C0 and In 1S72, and the candidates chosen by both were defeated by tho Republi cans. Watch for a repetition of political history. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. It Is no wonder then that tho laboring classes aro waking up to the situation and opposing most vigorously the Democratic plan. Democratic ascendency and control mean the death blow to our progress and prosper ity, to our high standard of living, to full employment and good wages, to all tho necessities and comforts and conveniences now enjoyed by our poople. Reports from all over tho country bring Increasing confidence In tho President and his work,. He Is doing nothing to advance his nomination for a second term. 'He Is doing his best to make a success of his first term. He is quite content to let the people and the office seek him while all the others aro seeking tho office. There is no doubt of his renomination and re election while the conditions on the Democratic side are dally growing more chaotic and even ludicrous. A TARIFF OBJECT LESSON. Tho price of coffee has Increased more than 100 per cent, since 1908. Jn December, 190S, No. 7 Rio coffee sold at C i cents per pound in New York. On January 1, 1911, tho same grade of coffee sold for 13 cents per pound In New York. There is no coffee raised in the United States 775 per cent, of the total world's supply coming from Brazil and coffee is admitted free of duty Into the United States. There being no tralff on coffeo this raise of over 100 per cent, in coffee, thus Increasing the cost of living for each family, cannot bo charged to the "infamous" Payne-Al-drlch tariff bill. Therefore, will our free trade friends who propose a reduction of the tariff as a cure for all Increased cost of living Ills please explain to us the whys and wherefores of this enormous increase in the prico of coffee. Enid (Oklahoma) Events. WHAT EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW. First, that fresh air is as necessary to health as pure and nourishing food. Second, that people should not sleep In over-crowded rooms, or with the windows closed. Third, that hmes and work-shops must bo clean and thoroughly ventilated. Fourth, that persons with colds or coughs of long standing, or persons who are losing in weight or physical strength, should consult a physician or go to a dispensary. Don't wait until It is too late. Fifth, that the habit of careless spitting promotes tho spread of the disease. Sixth, that a consumptive person spits out millions of these germs In a single day, and when the sputum dries, these germs aro blown about, to affect others. Sick persons should burn their spit. Seventh, though no one should ever sleep with a consumptive, the careful consumptive is not dangerous to those with whom ho lives and works. Eighth, that tho large majority of people have latent tuberculosis, but they resist falling prey to It by preserving their general health and strength. Ninth, that some per sons are more immune than others, as also some nationalities and some races aro more immune than others. We desire to call attention to the fact that recently in Massachusetts a four-weeks-old calf was sold for ?G,000. This valuable creature Is to bo chipped west to the state of LaFollette In a special car and the owner Is de lighted on securing such a bargain. There is nothing humorous in this incident. It is simply a prosy statement of commercial conditions of the stock market, but it gives rise to various considerations. Ono may buy in Honesdalc or in any county seat In the United States a four-weoks-old calf for a few dollars. If some calves aro better than others, why don't the farmers put their efforts to raising the better kind? In these days milk production is get ting to bo a better source of income than extenslvo farming, but only when milch cows of a good quality aro used. It is true that every farmer has not tho means to buy blooded stock, but nevertheless all can do some thing in the way of Improvement. Several years ago the Texas horned cattle were shipped to many of tho Western markets. Now thoy aro gone. Someone discovered that a cer tain 'brand of European catlle went all to meat and nothing to milk; hence the west Is covered with this strain of cattle. Some cattle aro good milk producers, some are famous for tho cream, and these facts aro well known but somehow, one never finds in cattle, sheep, hogs, nor fowls the qualities of good breeding that logic would suggest. It seems wrong to say that it Is a question of money. It Is Intelligence and a willing mind that Is lack ing rather than money. Secretary Wilson bemoans these facts overy day. But It Ib certain that a month old calf that is worth $0,000 ought to set tho farmers in this and overy locality to thinking that tho cost of living could be materially reduced if there were more blooded stock on our farms and less of the half-way methodsus3d in tho raising of stock. PEOPLE'S FORUM. The Citizen Publishing Com pany assumes no measuro of re sponsibility for any articles which may appoar In this column. Wants Ashes Kept Off .Streets. Mr. Editor: Tho kicker Is hero again and wants to kick hard enough to kick all of the ashes from the streets. Wo havo a borough ordinance that prohibits tho proniclous dumping of ashes on tho streets of Honcsdalo. While tho habit Is quite general, I will only re fer to sections of West and Upper East streets. Tho Ladles' Improve ment Association havo dono much to beautify tho streets of Houesdalo and It Is up to tho citizens to keop tho streets clean and neat. If not, tho town council should enforco tho or dinance and not allow Houesdalo to tako a single stop backward. So eay wo all. Yours for clean streets, A. KICKER. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEN TION IS TO BE HELD WEDNES DAY, .MAY 1. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22. Henry F. Walton, chairman of tho Republi can State committee, announced yes terday that tho commlttco had unani mously voted for tho selection of Wednesday, May 1, as tho day for holding tho Republican Stato conven tion, at tho Majestic theatre, Harris burg. There will bo nominated at this convention a candidate for Auditor General, Stato Treasurer and four Congressmon-at-Largo. Tho conven tion will also elect twolvo delegates and twelve altornates-at-largo to tho National Republican convention, which will bo hold in Chicago, Tues day, Juno 18, 1912. Thero aro about 30 candidates for Congressmen-at-Large, although tho stato Is entitled to only four. Mny 1 was selected for tho con vention In order to glvo a liberal margin to tho rulo that makes it necessary to hold a stato convention at least thirty days before tho open ing of tho national nominating body. Interestingly Told By Our Own Cor respondent. (Special to Tho Citizen.) Harrlsburg, Jan. 25. Tho llrst twulvo months of Oovornor Toner's administration form a chapter unsur passed In the annnls of Pennsylvania both for the enactment of progressive and constructive legislation and for the Inauguration of policies that will eventually mnko tho Kcystono stato pre-omlncnt In every branch of stato government. Simplification and codification have been the keynote of tho present Executive's ovory movo In launching now policies and In carrying to com pletion his Inheritances. Harmoni ous co-operation between all depart ments and branches of tho stato gov ernment has distinguished the activi ties of tho past twelve months, and havo mndo possible tho early com pletion of what seemed Herculean undertakings. Standing out conspicuously ns mile stones In tho llrst lap of tho present administration aro such im portant pieces of legislation as the Highway bill, the School Code, the MIno Code, tho new Insurance laws, tho Consolidation of tho Courts of Allegheny county, tho creation of an Intermediate Court In tho same county and tho Inauguration of a modified form of commission govern ment In the shapo of a small coun cil for 'Scranton and Pittsburgh. Tho carrying to completion of long hoped for Improvement In Peniten tiary management Is manifested by the recent purchase of a large tract In Center county to provide for tho erection and conduction of a new Western Penitentiary, as authorized by recent legislation. The almost forlorn hope of tho Medical world a single Medical Board became a reality at tho hands of tho legislative branch of the government under the present administration. The Bureau of Standard Weights and Mcasuios, an Initial step toward enforcing hon est business methods, has also re cently been created. Occupying a most Important place In tho public affairs of to-day aro tho several commissions now working under tho direction of the Chief Ex ecutive; some endeavoring to codify and simplify present laws, others to devise the best way to provide leg islation that will satisfactorily meet existing needs. The schools of this state havo long been a source of pride to Pennsylva nlans but the new school codo en acted by the last legislature and placed upon the statute books by Governor Tenor has given to educa tors the dream of a modern Utopia. The study of years, the experlenco of generations, tho good qualities of many systems and the avenues best adapted to produce good results aro Inculcated In the Code that but re cently became operative. To-day all schools from the palatial University to tho most unpretentious little country school houso are scrutinized and advised by a state board com posed of recognized educational ex perts. And all this has been dono to the end that Pennsylvania's school system might be placed upon the pin nacle of perfection. Tho reorganized Highway Depart ment and the road possibilities rapid ly becoming realities under Its man agement are an opon book, known alike to outpost and rendezvous. Like tho countless thread like ten tacles of a gigantic octopus spread ing in all directions tho comprehen sive system of roadways advocated by Governor Tener has cob-webbed sixty-seven counties of tho Com monwealth. It Is a system In which the counties Individually and col lectively can well take prldo and an accomplishment that benefits rural and municipal dweller alike. Pennsylvania has thus with ono stride outdistanced all hor neighbors In solving the ever troublesome question of good roads on a compre hensive plan. Tho present adminis tration advocates tho raising of suf- nelent funds to Insure the continued advancement of this state-wldo Im provement and to hasten Its comple tion that tho present generation might enjoy tho best posslblo roads without tho. Imposition of one addi tional penny of tax upon real estate. Tho Mine Codo adopted by the last legislaturo has in tho opinion of experts dono more toward clarify ing tho situation In tho bituminous district than any single piece of leg islation ever beforo placed upon tho statuto hooks. In tho codification and simplification of old laws the Codo Inculcates legislation that ade quately copes with existing condi tions. To this end a commission has been created whoso duty it is to codify tho laws relating to the an thracite coal region aud to proparo a Codo that will embody tho good points and eliminate tho defective qualities of legislation along those lines. It is tho aim of the adminis tration to havo regulation without extermination. Of vital concern to tho entlro stato Is tho success that has so far attend ed tho consolidation of tho Common Pleas Courts of Allegheny county, tho inauguration thero of an Inter mediate court and tho creation of a small council. By consolidation the courts and creating tho Intermediate court tho western county has dispos ed of tho congestion that heretofore clogged its legal machlnory; has dis solved tho accumulation of years and Is now approaching a condition that will enable tho Judiciary to deal with legal entanglements as thoy arise. This has not only accelerated tho work of tho court but has taken to final decision Intricate questions that havo long labored In vain for a Judicial determination because of tho time required to Interprot thorn.
