Flag day June 14.
The boy scouts of (Harrisburg are
fighting the flies.
'Everybody
tho fly.
is doing it swatting
Before the summer is out fly
swatting may vie with baseball as
the great American sport.
Prosperity is inevitable. It must
come. The mines have resumed
work and industries, generally speak
ing, are humming. Everything looks
bright to the investor and ns far as
local conditions well, everybody Is
wearing a smile nnd all are happy.
Come and live in Honesdale.
Whatever the boy scouts under
take, they go into with heart and
soul. Organize an anti-fly club boys
and free lllonesdale from this deadly
pest. Ten cents for every gillful of
dead Hies will be paid to the boy or
girl bringing that quantity at a time
to The Citizen office.
We acknowledge with thanks the
invitation extended by The Pennsyl
vania 'State College requesting us to
be in attendance at Its commence
ment exercises the week of June 7.
Two of Wayne county's young peo
ple will bo graduated from that In
stitution this spring, namely Flor
ence Dunning, of Honesdale, and
Clinton D. Gilpin, of Newfoundland.
On Thursday of this week wo shall
observe a Legal Holiday that has no
counterpart In any other country in
the world, by decorating with flowers
and flags tho graves of men who
fought In the War for the preserva
tion of the Union, that begun more
than fifty-one years ago. Tho sur
viving veterans of that great strug
gle have become few and too feeble
to decorate all tho graves of their
comrades who have gone before.
'But there will be no lnck of flowers
or flags. The beautiful custom will
not be permitted to fall Into disuse.
It will, no doubt, be kept up for
generations to come In honor of
those who gave all, or risked all,
for their country, and as an inspir
ing lesson to American youth.
STAND HV THE GUARD, BOYS.
INon-attondanco at church, lodge,
drill or any work, Is evidence of a
lack of interest. Outside of good
intentions must bo action coupled
with attendance. No organization,
society or church can Increase Its
membership without some enthusi
asm being manifested. Enthusiastic
members can accomplish wonders
when their heart nnd soul are in
their work. Despite all a pastor,
lodge olllcers, president of an or
ganization or captain of a company
of men may do, if he is not support
ed by tho rank and Me, Ms plans
certainly cannot bo carried out to
tho letter, which results In failure to
a certain extent.
Company E, 13th Regiment, N. G.
V., since its Inception, over thirty
years ago, has been the pride of tho
town. Tho company has struggled
along all these years, to within a
year ago, without a Stato armory.
SInco getting this new ?35,000
structuro interest has waned Instead
of Increased and tho boys aro appar
ently careless about thtolr attend
ance nt drill, which Is not only dis
heartening to their alert and faith
ful captain, C. J. Kelley, but It was
painful to tho Inspecting officers who
hold Inspection last 'Wednesday
evening.
It behooves tho young men of
tho Citizen Publishing Company.

Honesdalo to take advantage of their
opportunities, Join Company E nnd
endeavor to keep tho standard and
rating of their homo town high. Wo
understand that ten recruits have
responded to Captain Kelloy's call
and thnt a vigorous effort will ho
made to fill the ranks of tho com

quota of men. Stand by tho guard,

THE RIGHTS OF A PARTY CAN
DIDATE. The Independent, editorially and
through an alleged correspondent,
criticises a recent editorial printed
In these columns under the heading
"An Unwise Proposition." It was
the purpose of that editorial to show
the patent impropriety of carrying
Into effect a resolution adopted by
the recent Republican State Conven
tion which provides that all iRepubli
can candidates for the legislature
shall be interrogated ns to their ac
ceptance or rejection of the several
planks in tho platform adopted by
thnt rnnvention: their written an
swers to be published in the news
papers of their several districts. We
pointed out that this proposition was
extremely unfair to tho legislative
candidates. They have received
their party nomination and are en
titled to the support of their party
organization. This organization
now proposes, in derogation of Its
party duty, to piace these candidates
on public record on questions con
cerning which there Is a serious and
irreconcilable difference of opinion
In the party. It should be plain to
the dullest mind and conscience that
such a course Is bound to jeopardize
If not destroy the candidate's
chances of success at the polls,
whether he expresses his approval or
disapproval of the mooted planks in
the platform. We questioned and
still question the political as well as
the moral right of a party organiza
tion to strive in this manner to de
feat Its own party candidates. For
tills position the Independent takes
us to task, and argues, In effect, that
a party candidate for the legislature
ought to be defeated unless he pub
licly subscribes to every plank In a
party platform adopted after ho re
ceived his nomination, well knowing
that certain of those planks aro not
only objectionable but offensive to a
large percentage of tho voters of his
party. The Citizen cannot go along
on such a proposition as this. Wo
believe in the propriety of Interrogat
ing a candidate for a party nomina
tion, and If his answers are not sat
isfactory to a majority of tho party
voters, they should refuse to give
him tho nomination. 'But when
they have given it to him the candi
date should not bo heckled and toss
ed from pillar to post by his own
party, and especially by his own par
ty organization. Wo repeat that to
do this is not only unwise and un
fair, but 13 little short of treason.
As a 'Republican newspaper The Citi
zen will give its hearty support to
every candidate on tho Republican
state and county ticket. It will not
inquire whether ho subscribes to this
or that doctrine or theory, or wheth
er he approves or disapproves any
plank In any platform. It will as
sume that, since he Is tho choice of
his party for tho olllce to which ho
aspires, tho party voters can trust
to his intelligence nnd Integrity, to
properly represent them In tho event
of his election. 'After ho Is elected
It Is the privilege of any citizen, and
especially of tho voters who support
ed him, to urge upon him his sup
port of or opposition to any proposi
tion which Is likely to come before
him In his representative capacity.
Wo trust wo havo made this sufll
ciently plain. Wo aro not now dis
cussing questions of political econ
omy, but questions of party fealty
and party anarchy. And wo insist
that a party candidate, who Is the
choice of the majority of tho voters
of his party, should not havo a mill
stone hung about his neck by his
party organization, for the benefit of
the opposing candidates.

"Effect of Alcohol on the Laboring
'Mnn," Miss Ruth Freeman.
Song, Miss Jcnnlo Hngaman.
Address by Mrs. Geo. P. Ross,
President of tho W. C. T. U., which
follows:
" I presume the question tins come
to your minds many times, why does
the W. C. T. U. come every year to'
our schools, asking us to write es
says on some phase of tho effects of
alcohol on tho human sytsem? I will
tell you ono of the reasons. Tho hopo
of our nation Is our young people,
and the recruiting ground for tho
men and women of tho future Is tho
school, and how Important it is they
Should be trained In tho right direc
tion at the very beginning. Hon.
Richard Hobson of Santiago fame,
says one-third of our drunkards con
tract tho habit before they aro six
teen years of age.
When you realize that 2,000 men
aro killed every day of the year by
alcohol, wo wonder who will take
their place. We do not want it to
be our boys, or our neighbor's or
friends' boys. 'So, wo are striving
every day to educate you to the evils
of alcohol so that you will never
take tho first drink and then you
will never bo In danger of being
caught In the demon's clutches. The
nation's life Itself Is at stake wheth
er we advance or recede, as a nation
depends on tho quality of the men
and women we produco in tho next
two or three generations. 'All sclen
tists tell us the progeny of even the
moderate drinkers aro degenerates,
and as the habit of drink Is practiced
to a much greater extent In cities
and towns than In the country and at
the present rate of the growth of
cities over tho country life, If no
check is put upon the spread of al
cohol degeneracy, the day cannot
be far distant when liberty In great
states must go under. It will then
be but a question of time when the
average standard of character of the
nations electorate will fall below
that inoxoraTde minimum, and liber
ty will take its flight from America
as it did from Greece and Home. The
overthrow of liberty in America
wouiu oe a sau event ior tne worm.
If free institutions cannot stem the
flood of tho alcohol demagogue In
this land, there Is little hone for
other lands. Then If these things
aro true, and careful research has
proven them, we want our boys and
girls to be the best Informed, and of
the very best principles of any boys
and girls of any nation, and that Is
why wo worked so hard to have
scientific Instruction taught in our
schools, and why we are so anxious
to heli our young people in every
way."
The essays were written by mem
bers of the freshman class, and the
judges were R. M. Stocker, Rev. G.
S. Wendell and G. P. Ross.
