Tho Republican State Convention has selected n .state ticket. Tho Cit izen will sivo that ticket its loyal and ngRresslvo support. Wo put that ticket nt the head of our columns to tlny. Tho Republican party nt tho Chicago convention in Juno will nnmo candidates for president and vice-president of tho United States. Thoso cnndldntes will receive our hearty support. If Roosevelt Is the convention's candidate ho will ho our candidate. If Taft is tho conven tion's candidate ho will ho our candi date. If a dark horso Is nominated wo will support him. Wo recognize the right of political majorities to same candidates. Not to do so is to invito party anarchy. Tho Citizen is n Republican newspnper. THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

The Important business now being transacted by the Greater Honesdale Board of Trade should be an Incen tive for every member to attend the Tegular monthly meeting on Friday evening of this week In tho City Hall. Dr. Surface's advice about "cut ting back" hedges which havo Tieen ruined by tho cold weather Is being taken by people in every section of the state, and especially In this Usrtript the owners of hedges are paying close attention to the Instruo tlons. When the grand and petit jurors were called for tho joint sessions of United States criminal and argument court ifor the Middle district Mon day, it was noted by court attaches and newspapermen that Dauphin county was not represented In tho lists. Nearly every county In the Middle district was represented by one or more jurors. Tioga got three. PLAY BALL. Baseball provides the best and safest exercise. Each school In Wayne county should have a baseball club, and tho clubs should visit each other's ground In the fashion of the pro fessional leagues. Baseball should bo an Important part of tho educa tion of children, and every school boy and perhaps every school girl should Tilay the game. Increasing attention must bo paid to strength ening the bodies of children if their mentality Is to be Improved. Speaking of playing ball Tho Citizen wants to congratulate tho boys who are willing to give tholr tirao and attention to tho game In Honesdalo for another season. Honesdale has long held tho repu tation of being a good baseball town. Let us hold It. If you are asked to help the boys do so will ingly. EVERYBODY BOOST HONESDALE. Thero Is not a man, woman or child but what Is Interested In the welfare and futuro of his homo town, the placo of his birth, and -where his business Interests aro lo cated.

The town knockers aro requested, for the good and futuro welfare of the community, to throw away their hammers and divert their tlmo and attention toward building up rather than tearing down all good prospects of a bustling and hustling town. A REMARKABLE PLATFORM. It Is extremely unfortunate that tho recent Republican state conven tion should havo adopted a platform that can so readily bo used as a weapon against us by tho enemies of the Republican party. Hands that were more skilled politically could have framed a platform that should have been entirely satisfac tory to both wings of the party and would not havo served as ammuni tion to the opposing hosts. There are good planks In the platform; nrlnclnles with which not only an good Republicans, but all good citi zens will heartily agree. Tho trouble with tho platform Is that it can find no virtue In tho Re r.,,iiinnn nnrtv from the days of Abraham Lincoln to tho present It Is made up largely of a confes sion of Republican sins both of omis sion and commission. The last half century, during tho greater part of irhih tho 'RanuTjlican -party nas been in power, is characterized as a period, "when tho people's power, misused, was sold by tho political boss to the corporate money power" and "special privilege dominated the nation's business and social and political life." There Is much more to the same effect. It all sounds like a Democratic arraignment of the Republican party. Though the plat form covers the political history of the country from the time of tho Civil war to the present, it not only has no word of commendation for tho Bplendld achievements of tho Republican administrations of Grant, Garfield, Hayes, 'McKinley, Roose velt, and Taft, but covers them all In a sweeping denunciation of the (political sins and social injustice which it Is alleged were prevalent In their times. (Indeed, only two Republican leaders this side of Lin coln aro thought worthy of men tion, and they are Theodore Roose velt and Gifford Plncliot. President Taft and tho Republican adminis tration at Washington are studious ly ignored except through condem nation by Inuendo, as aro also Gov ernor Tener and tho State adminis tration at Harrlsburg. Tho plat form is as objoctionable in what It leaves unsaid as in what It says. Our Democratic opponents aro al ready claiming that wo aro con demned out of our own mouths. In deed, If all that Is said of us In this platform is true, and If all that Is left unsaid Is to bo legitimately In ferred, then as a party wo Oiad bet ter close our doors and drop out of existence as quickly and quietly as possible. It Is not pleasant for us to criticize a (Republican state plat form In this way, but wo regard it as a duty wo owe to tho party to do so. Its fatal weakness has already been discovered 'by our Democratic opponents and thoy aro using it to our disadvantage and discomfiture. In tho platform adopted by tho Dem ocratic state convention on Tuesday of this week It Is declared ithat tho Republicans of tho state .havo adopt ed a platform "every Item of which presents an Indictment against tho course of tho Republican party In stato and nation, coupled with ad missions of Its failure to keep Its promises." It is humiliating to bo unnblo to effectively answer this charge. And Inasmuch aB tho Re publican platform Is practically In defenslblo In the greater number of Its features, It Is doubtless hotter for us to concedo Its weakness, and to say plainly that It does not fair ly represent tho history and achieve ments and loadora of tho 'Republi can party In times past, nor tho be lief and aspirations of a great body of tho Itopubllcan voters of tho stato to-day. Tho mistake was this: that tho builders of this platform, flushed with o recent partisan victory, In stead of framing tho platform to opposing parties, framed It to meet tho issues between their victorious wing of tho party nd the wing of tho party which toa"d been defeated, rforgotting that thoso lssuos had boon settled at tho primaries, that thoy hadat best been tomporary and fleeting, (that there' was no longer any"; lntor-party contest, and that their pronouncement on behalf of tho party should havo been ono that would have formed a basis on which to 'mako tho light In itho far grcator national contest that Is Immediately beforo us. 'But whllo this platform as a whole will not bo acceptable to great numbors of Republicans, and whllo ithoro arc specific features of It that aro especially objectionable, and to which we shall refer at another time, nevertheless we bellcvo that Pennsylvania Republicans of what ever name will bo found shoulder to shoulder In tho coming national struggle fighting for the historic prestige and basic principles of our great party. CHARACTER. Hero is a warm coat for your chill ed courage, held out across tho years by Ralph Waldo Emerson: All that Is clearly duo today is not to lie. In other places, other mon hav'e) encountered sharp trials, and have behaved themselves well. Tho martyrs wore sawn asunder, or hung allvo on meat hooks. Cannot wo screw our courage to patience nnd truth, and without com plaint, or even with good humor, alt our turn of action In tho In Kulte Councils? Often wo aro nearly or qulto over come by tho thought that so much Is duo from us, and duo this very day; this hour. This, (because we mistake inconse quential for matters of consequenco; Dccauso wo mako mental mountains of material mole-hills. "All that is clearly duo today Is NOT TO LIE." This Is more than a warm coat. It Is a rousing, vitalizing trumpet-blast from a man who preferred criticism denunciation and ostracism to living a Ho. "But I am very truthful" you may say to yourself. Aro you truthful WITH YOUR SELF? Simply to keep from lying to or about others Is the outer sllell of the virtue. Not to Ho to yourself Is the meat, the kernel. And It Is a difficult matter to be true to yourself. That makes It all tho more worth while, for It adds discipline to duty, and discipline is a whopping big thing. To be patient and truthful, uncom plaining, here Is a complete test of tho higher toeing. It Is becoming a hablt with us to bo In a hurry. Not only do wo walk, drive and motor fast, but wo want to achieve at the same rate. The young man wants to cut out tho in-between rungs on tho ladder and land at tho top with a single leap. Tho young woman must havo tho latest Paris fad, whether or not there be need for it. With many persons thero Is n6t enough time to think about OHARt ACTER and NOBILITY though these are tho prime essentials; the basic considerations of any life that Is worth while. Yes, I know this is more or less trite. 'But each day adds to my con viction that such reminders aro need ed now as never beforo. Each day I meet men and women who have found the " leap " system a hollow mockery; who aro suffering unutterable anguish 'because they followed tho wlll-of-the-wlsp of "get thero at any cost." What they would pay to 'be hack again at the bottom of tho ladder! BUT YOU CANNOT BUY BACK YOURSELiF! This being the case, consider well before you seek happiness or con tentment through compromise with thoso sure aids, Truth, to self and other; Labor, of any sort that Is hon est; Patience, and Good Humor. These will carry you to tho heights and KEEP, YOU THERE! Leigh (Mitchell Hodgo In North American. If Yon Aro Not Satisfied Get Out. While In conversation with a prominent business man a few days since wo wero informed by him that an out-of-town party came to Hones dalo for the purposo of opening a store and doing a new kind of busi ness hero. He walked up and down 'Main street, admired our town and especially the many business stores. After sometime spent In observation ho stepped Into one of tho stores but It happened to bo tho wrong one. Addressing the proprietor the strang er said: "Fino town you havo hero. friend." Mr. Grouch, king of tho pessimists, answered him In a gloomy and chilly manner, claiming that tho town was going, woll, wo won't print where ho said. Our out-of-town visitor wheeled around on his heol after receiving that frost-blto and camo to the citizen who told us tho story. After a talk with him tho stranger went hack and said, "Friend, you must bo mistaken. I don't know when I havo seon a moro promising town for business than Honesdale. Aren't you mistaken?" If you aro not satisfied, get out. Don't influence tho othor fellow and Incidentally injure your homo town. If you can't boost don't knock. Death of Milton Lawrence.
