THE ATTITUDE OF THE CITIZEN.
The Citizen Is u Republican news
paper. It believes In tho principles
of tho Republican party. It will
Bupport nil of its party candidates.
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.
I have been driven many times
to my knees by the overwhelming
conviction that I had nowhere else
to go. Abraham Lincoln.
BOARD OF TRADE.
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. Wo all want to seo Honesdalo on
tho map and If each and overy one
of us do our part Honesdale will
bo known from tho Atlantic to tho
Pacific and from tho Gulf to Can
ada. Are you going to holp boost
your homo town?.
What Honesdalo wants Is a num
ber of energetic and Intelligent citi
zens wno will work along progres
sive lines and mako It a bigger,
busier and better placo to live and
-work In. 'Ard you with" us?

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.
