A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
I think it is a magnificent thing for a young man to rlso to tho very
best that is within him; to make tho most or what ho Is. This hard work
docs him good. It brings out what he has In him. Edward William Bok.
Considering the great courtesy with which tho President has treated
Mr. Roosevelt, the Colonel will win no applause by personal attacks upon
Mr. Taft. Such exhibitions of bitterness as thoso in Louisvlllo cannot by
any possibility help tho candidacy of the iRough Rider, but they can and
will hurt It seriously.
Among the seven Governors whose letter Colonel Roosevelt construed
-to be the "voice of tho people," were Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, and
Governor Osborne, of Michigan. They do not seem to bo backed up very
much by the people of thoso States, for the Michigan primaries elected 352
Taft delegates, G3 for Roosevlt and 19 doubtful. In Kansns it is claimed
that Taft will got all the delegntcs and Governor Stubbs himself Is having
a desperate fight for renomlnatlon.
STATE TREASURER WRIGHT.
The finances of the state of Pennsylvania have nover been better
handled than by tho present state treasurer. It is due to his vigorous col
lections, nnd his thoroughgoing skill and efficiency that tho state treasury
is in such excellent condition. If Wayne county Republicans desire to
retain in omce so faithful and efficient a public servant they should not fall
to go to the primaries next 'Saturday and vote for delegates to the state
convention who will use every effort to secure the nomination of C. Fred
Wright to the ofllce of State Treasurer. These candidates for delegates
are Dr. Lowis P. Cooke and William F. Rlefler.
THE BOYCOTT DECLARED.
Messrs. Samspn and Crossley have made public, through tho columns
of the Independent, their real attitude as to candidates to be nominated at
the state convention. They say "We will vote for no one for office or na
tional delegates who does not represent the progressive policies and princi
ples advocated by Theodore "Roosevelt." This means that unless Homer
Greene declares himself in favor of Roosevelt's radical and destructive
theory of the recall, prior to the state convention, he will not receive the
support or votes of these young men 'for the nomination for congressman at
large, should they bo elected as delegates to the state convention. It
means also that C. Fred Wright, candidate for the nomination for state
treasurer, will bo opposed in the convention by Samson and Crossley, un
less in tho meantime he humbly enrolls himself under tho "Roosevelt ban
ner and marches down with the Colonel to his Waterloo. Ato the Repub
licans of Wayne county ready to send to the state convention delegates who
will try to accomplish the defeat of Homer Greene for the nomination to
Congress, and of C. Fred Wright for the nomination to the office of state
treasurer?.; It is well to know definitely so long in advance of the primaries,
where thes"o young men stand as to the candidacies of Messrs. Greene and
"Wright, and since their attitude is one of hostility, they are to be com
mended for letting the public know it. They have declared the boycott;
it is for the 'Republican voters to say whether they shall have the oppor
tunity to carry It Into effect.
GET TO THE PRIMARY.
Tho Spring primary election will
soon bo hero April 13 and ovory
cnndldato is doing his lovol best to, ,
by so mo means, got his namo on tho 1
official ballot. This, of courso, Is
porfectly natural, but tho tlmo for
tho people to mako tholr selection
of tho men whoso names are present
ed Is at tho ballot box, from tho
volco of which thoro Is no appeal.
As a rule, tho voters are too careless
concerning tho primary election.
They aro slow to tako ndvantago of
tho powers conferred upon them by
tho new law and very many pay but
slight attention to tho primaries.
Tills Is a great mistake
LET US BE FAIR,
Tho onomlcs of President Taft
hav'o been making much of nn utter
ance of Mr. Tnft's In a recent speech
which Is quoted as follows:
"Thoro aro thoso who db not be
llevo that all people are fitted for
popular government. Tho fact Is,
wo know they aro not. Some of us
do not dare say so, but I do."
Tho othor night at a meeting In
Now York city, 'Emma Goldman, the
woman who has been spoutng an
archistic doctrines for twenty-fivo
or thirty years, aroused tho gather
ing of crack-brained foreigners to
such an extent thnt ono of them
jumped on the stage, took an Amor
lean flag from his pockot, spat upon
it and tore the little emblem of lib
erty to bits.
Does nny sensible person believe
that men who give such exhibitions
of frenzy aro capable of what they
would term " popular government?"
Should any public official bo con
demned for frowning upon such
specimens of humanity as thoso who
throw fits whenever they listen to a
harangue by ono of thoso uneasy dis
turbers? Let us be fair. Scranton Trloune-Republlcan.
A WORD TO WILLIAM.
William Fllnn, of Pittsburg, millionaire, one tlmo State Senator,
would-be political boss of Pittsburg, who has for many years been trying
to break Into national politics, is now engaged in the pleasing and harmless
task of sending out picture post-cards to the Republican voters of Penn
sylvania. Wayno county has recently been flooded with them. They con
tain a portrait of Roosevelt as he looked some twenty years ago, a de
cidedly Impressionistic view of the White 'House, and tho names of tho
Roosevelt candidates for delegates to tho national and state conventions.
They also contain the selected Slogans of the progressive hosts, such as:
"Aro you fit to rule yourselves?" Wo don't know how it is In other parts
of the state, William, but here In Wayno county we are quite fit, thank
you! AVe have no more need of a versatile politician from Pittsburg to
hoss the Job than wo had of a distinguished gentleman from Scranton who
undertook the task and gave It up. We are obliged to you for your picture
post-cards, William, hut wo do not need to tako them to tho polls with us
as you suggest. Tho names of the gentlemen for whom we Wayno coun
teans deslro to voto are household words with us. We do not have to
carry them In our pockets lest we should forget thorn. And, by tho way,
William, you might say to your progressive friend, Frank A. Munsey, the
millionaire publisher of Now York, that tho booklets ho Is sending to
Wayno county Republicans containing a spot-light history of tho achieve
ments of Roosevelt, are ammunition wasted. Wo know about Roosevelt,
and wo have our minds made up. And If your other millionaire friend,
George W. Perkins, of Harvester Trust famo, contemplates sendlni; any lit
erature Into Wayno county, kindly dissuade him. Tako It from us, Wil
liam, you are all wasting your hard-earned money and you .tnow " a
penny saved is a penny earned."
THE DECLINE OF ROOSEVELT.
By tho above heading we do not mean tho decline In Col. Roosevelt's
chances to receive a presidential nomination, though that decline is rapid,
and the end Is certain. Wo mean rather his decline In the estimation of
tho thinking men of the country, tho flowering of his own standards in or
der to catch tho popular ear, and the lowering of his attitude toward those
who differ with him In tho matter of political prlnciplo and governmental
policy. To call names is never an argument, and Roosevelt has descended
to calling names. In his Loulsvfllo speech last week ho characterized
President Taft and thoso who support him as persons acting "from evil
motives," '''puzzlo-headod," "dull of mental vision," "lacking in social
sympathy," "men whoso hearts havo witnessed and whoso eyes aro blind
ed," "men who aro endeavoring to quiet unrest by Ingenious trickery,'1 and
so on down the lino of unsavory epithets.
These tactics will not avail Col. Roosevelt anything in the public es
teem. It Is a pity ho should descend to them. Tho peoplo havo not tak
en kindly to his advanced theories of government. Thoy still bellovo with
tho iframors of our Constitutions that It Is bettor to leavo to the
courts tho Interpretation of tho laws which havo been mado for tho protec
tion of tho rlghs of all ho peoplo, than to leavo such Interpretation to tho
changing sentiment of a passing majority. It Is a pity that a man with tho
"wldo Influence, and with" the talent and forco of ex-President "Roosevelt,
should not bend his great energies toward arousing tho peoplo to a deeper
Interest In their government, to a larger participation In Its affaire, to a
wider knowledge of their rights and privileges and duties as citizens, with
out endeavoring, with all tho power at his command, to undermine their
confidence In tho, courts, to destroy their Tespect for law, and to load them
to'substltuto for orderly government tho uncertain and constantly changing
'deslro and dictation of the multitude It Is not truo that tho peoplo aro
doprivod of their rights. It Is not truo that tho people do not rule In this
country whonover and wherever they deslro It. Every Pennsylvania
"voter who doposlts his ballot In tho box next Saturday knows while doing
It that ho is a freo political agent, and that this government is what ho
and his feUlow-voters choose to mako it. In his desperation, and chagrin
Col. Roosevelt has descended from his high pedestal to a level with the
flshwlfo and tho domagoguo. Moro'a tho pity!
LETTER TO HOMER GREENE AND
HIS REPLY.
Before going to press a represen
tative of Tho Citizen called upon
.Homer Greeno and asked him If he
had In any respect changed the views
ho expressed In a letter to a Wayne
county voter which wo published sev
eral weeks ago. IHe replied that he
had not. We therefore republish the
letter and tho Inquiry which drew it
forth, for the benefit of those who de
sire to know or to recall definitely
Mr. Greeno's position:
As the best answer to Inquiries
concerning the attitude of Homer
Greene, candidate for delegate to the
Republican 'National Convention, we
print the following correspondence:
'Hamlin, Pa., March G, 1912,
Mr. Homer Greene,
'Honesdale, Pa.
Dear Sir:

self before tho peoplo of the 14th
Congressional District for tho nomi
nation of a delegate to represent this
district at the next National Conven
tion. You will find in tho enclosed
a stamped envelope. Please let mo
know what kind of a platform you
aro In favor of supporting, and who
you are in favor of nominating for

Yours respectfully, i '
HOMER SPAfNGENBERG.
Mrch 7, 1912.
Mr. Homer Spangenberg,
Hamlin, Pa.
Dear Sir:
I am very glad to reply to your in
quiry of March G.
If elected a delegate to the 'Repub
lican National Convention I shall ap
prove of a platform which embodies
the principles of the Republican par
ty, as those principles were set forth
in tho platform adopted by the 'Re
publican National Conventions of
eight years and four years ago, and
carried into effect with signal ability
and success toy Theodore 'Roosevelt
and William H. Taft In their adminis
tration of the affairs of the country.
I shall not at this time pledge my
self to tho candidacy of any person
for tho Presidential nomination, for
tho following reasons:
1st. I deslro to tako Into very care
ful consideration the wish of tho ma
jority of tho Republican voters In this
congressional district, which wish I
have not yet ascertained.
2nd. I deslro to be free to support
tho candidacy of any person who ap
pears by tho combined judgment of
tho convention, best fitted to carry
out the will and purpose of tho Re
publican voters of tho country,
whether tho name of such person has
or has not been up to this tlmo men
tioned In connection with tho presi
dential nomination.
3rd. I do not wish to fetter my
judgment and conscience by pledg
ing myself at this time to tho candi
dacy of any seeker for the nomina
tion, and thus tying my hands so
that I shall not too freo to act in ac
cordance with what I may consider
at tho proper time to be for tho best
Interests of my party and tho peoplo.
I am very glad to explain my posi
tion to you, because, If you aro a
Republican voter, as I assumo that
you aro, you are entiteld to tho ex
planation. Very truly yours,
iHOMBR GREENE.
LETTER FROM MR. MARVIN.

To tho Votors of Wayne County,

Coming from adjoining counties,

DANDRUFF AND ITCHING SCALP
YIELD TO ZEMO TREATMENT.
Why should you contlnuo to ex
periment with salves, greasy lotions
and fancy hair dressings trying to
rid your scalp of gorm llfo. Thoy
can't do It because thoy cannot peno
trato to tho seat of tho troublo and
draw tho gorm life to tho surface of
tho scalp and destroy It.
Why not try a PROVEN REM
EDY? One that will do this. Wo
avo a remedy that will rid tho scalp
of gorm llfo and in this vay will
euro DANDRUFF and ITCHING
SC.A LP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
goes right to tho seat of tho trouble
and drives tho germ llfo to tho sur
iaro and destroys It.
A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTI
SEPTIC) SOAP and ono application
of ZEMO will entirely rid tho scalp
of dandruff and scurf. Do not hesi
tate, but get a bottlo of ZEMO to-
dav. it acts on a now principio and
will do exactly what wc claim for It.

THEODORE KLEIN.
Pennsylvania needs the people's
power, if ever any state needed it,
or if ever that power were needed
anywhere under the sun, for In no
other" civilized community has boss
Ism ever reached a fuller flower than
here, and Just as long as the people
will vote for the machine rule, we
will have bosses and grafters, under
the initiative, referendum and re
call. Tho boss and the grafter and
the big business alliance become Im
possible, and If the people have bad
government It Is because the people
themselves aro bad, or too Ignorant
to enlarge their own Interest
Therefore, I favor tho Initiative, ref
erendum and recall and tho election
of United Stntes Senator by a direct
voto or the people. I favor state ap
propriatlons for township roads and
schools. I favor state roads, and am
In favor of corporations paying ono
mill tax for road purposes, and In
ifavor of tho Allman minimum sal
ary bill, which will compel the state
to pay all school districts annually
a sum equal to the salaries of all
teachers empioyed in tho district
for the minimum school term.
As a farmer, I am In favor of all
legislation in their behalf and that
of all wage earners. I am In favor
of freo bridges on the Delaware the
same as on other streams.
I have been an officer of the 'State
Grange for eight years, and ask
your support at the Primary Elec
tion, Saturday, April 13, 1912.
As my namo will not appear on tho
ballot, I will havo stickers at each
election poll so you can get them,
or you can write my name on the
ballot under tho heading for Repre
sentative on tho 'Republican ticket.
I thank you in advance for all fa
vors. THEODORE KLEIN.
