You can do so by offering to take two or more fresh air children. They are coming to 'Honesdale and expect to invade Wayne county within a few weeks. Help just a little by offer ing your willingness to take some of the children. FRESH Allt FUND. Have you given to the " Fresh Air Fund " or have you offered to take one or two little boys or girls for a couple of weeks, away from tho noise, the filth and heat of New York city? Thirty-six thousand windowles3 rooms in New York. Boys and girls who do not know what a breath of pure, fresh, sweet mountain or country air means, who have never seen tho buttercups and daisies, the green meadows and fields of corn, the sheep or cows, never had a backyard or little patch of green to play In, who have never known what good table food means, who have never had a delicacy; whose faces are drawn and gaunt with want and not enough to eat. The Fresh Air Society of Now York sends out twelve thousand or more of these poor little boys and girls for two weeks each Summer; the children are given clean clothing, after an examination by a physician that the boy or girl are not suffering with a contagious or malignant disease, and then their fares are paid to Hones dalo or elsewhere where a family lias agreed to receive and care for them for two weeks. A couple of car loads have been provided for in this part of tho state, and we should be glad to have a great many readers of The Citizen send word to Rev. W. H. Swift, D. D., or Tho Citizen that they will take a couple of children. You will be glad of any sacrifice you will make when you see how happy your little guests will (be, and you will regret to part with them. You will learn what the poor children of a big city really have to undergo, and what happiness you have brought into their life. LET'S HAVE A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH. Each year since 1903 The Journal of tho American Medical Association has been waging a propaganda against tho lnsenatc maiming and death-dealing methods of celebrating our independence holiday. It has gathered and collated the indubitable facts; and the lay press magazines and newspapers havo seconded its endeavors so that an almost revolu tionary change has been taking place. It Is gratifying to observe that more and more the constituted au thorities have recognized that It Is their duty to prevent the burning and the crippling of children and their death from lockjaw by pro hibiting the sale of fireworks and Uko destructive agencies. Olllcial appreciation of this fact Is evidenced by tho enactment and enforcement of appropriate ordinances. Many offi cials havo In tho most salutary way co-operated with non-governmental agencies Interested in tho safe and sane Fourth. Legislation against fireworks has been restrictive or prohibitive. Tho latter, of course, gives tho best results. In European countries occasions akin to our Independence Day are commemorated by means of fetes and other picturesque ceremonies, quite adequately, Just as heartily and (with as much patriotic fervor as amoung us. Continental peoples have a genius for festivities, national the Citizen Publishing Company. K. 6. nAKDKMBKROII W. W. WOOD JULY , lOUI. as well as all other kinds. For ndult patriotism, oratory may suf flee; but this is not satisfying to the youth of the land. In tho legit imate Interests of boyhood and girl hood, things equally brilliant and satisfactory must bo substituted for the noise, the flare and tho varicolor- ed flame; and substitutes even more resplendent havo been found In abundance. We have now methods by which the Fourth shall cease to be a day of terror, and shall become Instead one of happiness, recreation and enlightenment. Noise Is now being replaced by music tho music of bands, and of choruses drilled weeks beforehand by skilled leaders, and the singing of national airs and popular 6ongs. There are tableaux, plays, floats devised tby artists, rep resenting historic and patriotic inci dents and achievements; parades in which tho Army and Navy, tho police and fire departments, the militia, school children and Industrial or ganlzatlons take part; picnics with circuses and pink lemonade, pea nuts, ice cream and watermelon suf ficient to satisfy the most anacon- dean digestion; parks and other pub lic places and buildings, both pub lic and private, gorgeously Illuminat ed by electricity; children's carnivals and dances; school celebrations; ath letlc sports, with distribution of cop ies of the Constitution, and so on. And no mamlngs, no burnings, no killings, no lockjaw! A TREACHEROUS PROPOSITION. One of tho most commendable things that Colonel Roosevelt has done politically and he has done many commendable things was to decline the suggestion of certain of his followers, that he should still pose as a Republican, after the break with his party at Chicago, and after his declared Intention to give battle to its candidates and princi ples. Tho Colonel's own Idea is that he should head an absolutely new and Independent party, cutting entirely loose from the Republican organization. This is the proper and honorable thing to do if he feels the necessity of being a candidate for the presidency In opposition to tho Republican platform. It Is still whispered however, by those coming from consultation at Oyster Bay that there Is to bo an attempt to hold the Republican electors for Roosevelt in states like Pennsylvania where they were named by state conventions con trolled by the Roosevelt forces. We cannot believe that this plan has the sanction of Colonel Roosevelt. While he is capable of calling on his followers to support him at the sac rifice of their political fortunes, it Is not conceivable that ho will demand of them the sacrlflco of their politi cal honor. Electors were named in Pennsylvania by a Republican state convention, to vote for the candi dates who should bo nominated for President and Vice-President by tho Republican national convention. That convention has nominated Win. H. Taft and James H. Sherman. It Is not conceivable that tho Republi can presidential electors of this state will cast their electoral ballots for anyone else. To do so would bo such a brench of party faith and honor as this country has never yet witnessed. If any Republican pres idential elector feels that ho cannot conscientiously cast his electoral ballot for tho candidate named by tho Chicago convention he should at once withdraw from tho ticket and permit tho substitution of some one who will not hesitate to carry out the will of his party as that will has been expressed by tho only or ganized body authorized to express It, tho Republican National Conven tion. Those who would masquerado as Republicans, at tho same time stabbing tho party in tho back, aro political traitors. If Col. Roosovolt and his followers feel that tho can didates and principles of tho party as named and expressed by tho conven tion should bo defeated, It is their privilege to stand outside and fight them openly. To direct their at tack from tho shelter of tho party home whllo posing as an Inmato, Is a scheme of treachery worthy of the most conscienceless. Wo do not believo they will attempt It. PEOPLE'S FORUM, More About tho Fish. Mr. Editor: Can you tell mo why tho State al lows hundreds of fish to bo killed by tho running of poison Into our streams (local rivers Included), but ir a boy who might bo Ignorant of tho law, as to tho size of a fish Is caught, arrested and n heavy flno plnced upon him? Of course, If they continue to dump tho poison into the river there will not bo a partlcal of ac quatic life from (Dyberry to tho Dola waro 'Bay, but after that date, when nil tho fish aro dead, they must stop killing tho rest of them. Then the fish commission will begin to stock tho river -with llsh, and after a lapse of about eight years thero will again bo fishing in tho Dyberry, Lackawaxen and Delaware rivers. iMeanwhllo, boys who catch an un dersized llsh aro dealt with without mercy. But oh, well. DYBERRY FiARMER. Dybarry, July 2, 1912. CREDITED EDITORIALS AND COMMENTS. Mr. Tuft's Kcnominntlon. (From tho Waynesboro Record.) The Republican party through Its national convention in Chicago, named Presdent William 'Howard Taft as Its candidate for the succes sion to himself. The action of the convention will meet with the ap probation of the members of tho party wbo put the party and its good, the country and us continued safe direction, above tho ambition of any one man. President Taft earned his ronominatlon by the wholesomeness, the sanity, the ac- compllshments of his administra tion. Trbuto to Tnft, (From the Rochester Democrat Chronicle.) Mr. Taft labored under certain ob vious disadvantages in the campaign for the nomination. It is to be re called to his honor now that In the most trying hour he held steadfast to tho principles which ho believed to be right. Ho believes in tho safe guards provided by the Constitution for the maintenance of order and the protection of all citizens in their rights. He believes in upholding the integrity of the courts. He be lieves that the Government possesses ample power to grapple with every evil that changing conditions may develop. His candidacy will there fore appeal to those who have watch ed the rising tide of radicalism with concern, and who desire to see It checked. William it. Taft. (From the Wllkes-Barre Evening iNews.) The Republican party can go be fore the country In the 1912 cam paign without being required to make any apologies with the Honor able 'William Howard Taft as Its standard-bearer. When the smoke of the primary battle Is cleared away and when sanity takes the place of the present period of hysteria and the people have a chance to review the splendid achievements of Presi dent Taft during tho three years that ho has filled tho Presidential chair the false accusations and mall clous assaults that have been made against him will be forgotten and tho Intelligent citizenship of the na tions will measure him at his true worth. No man was more lavish in his praise of Mr. Taft a few short years ago than was Colonel "Roose velt. It Lives! 'Men may come and men may go, but the reputation lives on for ever. Bosses may rise and bosses may fall, but the Republican party will survive and go on to final victory. Presidents may win and Presi dents may lose, candidates may quarrel and platforms may bo per verted, but the rank and the file of tho voting masses ultimately will come to a sound decision. This nation was not born in a day. It was the outcome of a long and bitter struggle. It survived tho shock of war with other nations. It came out of its civil strife chastened and strengthened. It has passed through many waves of adversity. It has swept away obstacles that seemed Insur mountable. It has overthrown demagogues and demolished dis turbers. It will do It again. Once more It is being put to tho test. Experimental theorists, solf seoking egotists and loud-mouthed demogoguos are having thoir day. Whether It will 'bo a long or a short one depends upon tho common sense of the American people. 'Are all tho lessons taught by tho bitter experiences of the past to go for naught and bo forgotten? Wo hope not. Wo believe not. " God reigns and tho government at 'Washington still lives." Lesllo's Weekly. Dentil of Tlioiuas Wlilttaker.

The little toy dog Is covered with dust, But sturdy and stanch he stands; And the little toy soldier In red with rust. And tho musket moulds In his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new. And the soldier was passing fair; And that was the time when our Lit tle Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there "Now don't you go till I come," he said, "And don't you make any noise!' So, toddling off to his trundle bed, Ho dreamt of the pretty toys. And, as he was dreaming, an angel song Oh! tho years are many, the years are long, But the little toy friends aro true Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand, Each in the same old place Awaiting the touch of a little hand The smile of a little face. And they wonder, as waiting the long years through In the dust of that little chair, What has become of our Little Boy Blue, Since he kissed them and put them there. Somehow, when wo read these pretty verses of Eugene Field, we can't help but think of tho Little Boy Blue and there will bo many of him! who will be offered as a sacrlflco on tho altar of misdirected patriotism next Thursday, the Fourth of July. There are so very, very many homes In which a little toy dog and a little rusty tin soldier stand waiting the long years through for tho Little Boy Blue who will never come. Thero aro so many other homes in which a Little Boy 'Blue lives eter nally in the gloom of night because daylight ceased for him In a sudden flash of Fourth of July powder. 'And thero aro the Little Boys, too, and tho Little Girls, who aro maimed and crippled because of this foolish Idea that to be patriotic and to ob serve tho Fourth of July means that we must play with danger. The number of deaths as a result of our Independence Day celebrations has been decreasing for a number of years becauso of the agitation for a safe and sano observance, but tho death list is still a long one and the list of Injured Is largor than would result from a battle between armed foes. Let us keep our Littlo Boy Blue with us. Let us not havo occnslon to feel a deep sorrow when wo seo a littlo toy dog. all covered with dust and a littlo tin soldier, red with rust, awaiting tho touch of a little hand that Is still and the smile of a little face that Is gono forever. Let us havo a really safo and sano Fourth. .Johnstown Democrat. $100 REWARD, 100.
