A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear
dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his tlmo. 'Ilor
nco Maun.
"Downward" revision Is likely to mean nioro or less sorrow for Am
erican prosperity, unless achieved by tho aid of tho best judgment of good
Protectionists. Clarinda (la.) Journal.
Ono of tho very worst ways to bring about harmony is to turn down
a President who not only edsires the vindication of a renomination, but
also has made a record creditable enough to entitle him to It at tho
hands of his party. Springfield Republican,
Speaker Clark says that he has "always considered tho tariff and tho
trusts in this country as ono question." As England has moro trusts
and bigger ones than the United States, to bo consistent, he should havo
added that in that country "Free-Trade and the trusts aro ono question."
Marion (la.) Register,
Tho Citizen Publishing Company has Just added another largo and up-to-date
press to its job department and is now prepared to execute a fine
grade of work. This office has also been recently equipped with several
new faces of job typo. We make a speciality of catalogue, half-tone and
high-class commercial printing and can turn out as good work as any
where in this section of Pennsylvania. Parties keeping summer boarders
would save money by having their pamphlets, cards and other house sta
tionery printed by tho Citizen Publishing Company.
A real live, genuine, up-to-the-minuto town boom newspaper never
pays any attention to rumors afloat concerning industries in its home town
that may be contemplating making changes by removal or otherwise. It
never mentions them. The best way to kill a town Is to publish items
every now and then about families moving from tho homo town to other
places; or reproduce what cities or towns offer as a bonus in order to get
tho town's leading Industry to locate In that place. After a notice of this
kind has been published in a paper what. is the attitude of the public?
It certainly does not do any good and at onco has a tendency to create dis
satisfaction among tho townspeople. It gives the morchant tho blues and
makes canvassing for advertising a hard proposition. It makes tho new
comer feel discontented with the town and leaves a doubt In tho visiting
capitalist's mind whother or not the town so advertised by an apparent
careless editor is the proper placo to erect his factory and build his home.
There are innumerable things that occur every week that if .mentioned
would be detrimental to any town. They must bo overlooked and the
bright and prosperous future told Instead. No town is so largo that It has
ceased to grow and none so small but that It will develop bye and byo. But
how can the small towns grow -while there aro a certain few who carry
hammers in their pockets and knock and hit and pound at every enter
prise or prospective industry that Is In an embryonic state? How can a
town prosper with this kind of a millstone fastened to Its neck? Will
tho merchants come to the front and say "This kind of work must bo
stopped" or will they remain dormant and settle down with tho ground
hog and take another snooze? Now is the time to act. If tho home town
Is to prosper the people and papers of that town must work in harmony
and try hard to mako It prosper. It, however, can nover be accomplished
by knocking or publishing unsatisfactory news about the placo.

CHARLES DICKENS.
Tho ono hundred anniversary of tho birth- of Charles Dickons will be
observed with moro or less impressivoness throughout the entlro English
speaking world, tomorrow, Feb. 7, 1912. It is right and proper that the
world at largo pay tribute to this truly noble man whose genius gave to all
who read English or its translations new worlds, peopled with tho children
of the author's vivid imagination. Into these beings though only children
of fancy Dickens infused a soul, and Individuality which made them liv
ing, breathing speaking men, women, and children marvelous representa
tions of beings of flesh and blood.
It is impossible to estimate how much we owe to our men and women
of gonius. Take from tho world what thoy havo given and our lives
would lose all in the world worth living for. All tho walls of tho mem
ory would be bare, all the niches would be ompty; poetry and fiction would
lose their meaning and connection. Music would go back to common air,
and all tho soul-Inspiring works of all tho masters, becomo meaningless.
You may say this Is pure sentiment. I admit it is, but take sentiment from
tho world and what Is left? Dickens gavo us a host of friends whoso
friendship we cultivate and appreciate moro and moro as we become better
acquainted with them; characters whoso friendship and acquaintance,
whether consciously or unconsciously moid our lives In better and higher
channels. "Blessings on your heart," wrote Jeffrey to Dickens. "You
should bo happy yourself at Christmas, for by your books you havo done
moro good, fostered moro kindly feelings and prompted moro benevolence
than (an ever bo estimated." Who can read tho various Christmas stories
of Dhkens, "Tho Chimes." "Tho Carol." "Tho Cricket on tho Hearth,"
stories which havo made Christmas dear to old and young throughout the
world, without a thrill of gratitude. How many of us feol liko saying
with tho warm-hehrted citizen of Dublin, "God bless you, sir, not only for
tho light of your faco but for the light you've put in my house for many
a year." And then tho places immortalized by Dickons havo long been
historic and now there aro several books dovoted solely to tho identifi
cation and preservation of tho places mentioned In his novel. Dickons
though nominally an Englishman, was a citizen of tho world, his genius
was too great to bo circumscribed by tho limitations of any country or of
any race, and every country In tho world having any pretentions to refine
ment of literary tasto, is influenced largely by Dickens' writings.
On this centennial of Dickens' birth now Interest will bo infused Into
thc.o sublime works, nnd a new cinpotus given to tho study of this great
aithor, master of humor and of pathos. Tho attention of tho children
Bl'o id bo called to tho beauty of Dickens' writings. Tako tho last sentence
vi uen by him on tho day of his death "Changes of glorlouB light, from
molng trees, tho songs of birds, the scent of gardens, woods nnd flolds
permeato the Cathedral, subduo Its earthly odor, and preach tho reser
rection and the life." Yes, tho hundred annlverslty of tho birth of Dick
ens Bhould bo celebrated In every city, In every vlllago and in every
country in tho world. Greater than tho reverence paid to dead kings or
military heroes; greater than that paid to statesmen or civic leaders, Is tho
reverence duo to Dickens for by thlno own gonius thou didst croato an
emplro whoso subjects aro continually increasing and can nover die.
