A good appearance, a fair educa tion, an even temper, smartness and civility are the best capital with which a young man can start. Keep your dogs muzzled. If you have not paid your dog tax, better do so now. The Keystone party has named Its ticket, the Prohibitionists ex pect to nominate a ticket to-day and the Progressives hope to. These to gether with the old party lines ought to give every man a chance to vote his convictions. SANE FOURTH ONLY FOURTH. Thursday's safe and sane cele bration gave more proof that we are getting further and further away from that silly old pre tense that patriotism Is meas ured by the noises we make. Philadelphia Press. Honesdale experienced some noise on the Fourth, but it did not begin to compare with days gone by. One consolation is that not a Honesdale boy was Injured so as to have had medical attendance. This demon strates that a safe and sane Fourth Is the only Fourth. Some farmers state that it Is so dry that vegetation is drying up. Others claim that If more harrow ing were done better crops would be forthcoming. One of Wayne coun ty's most prosperous farmers re cently told us that he runs a tooth harrow through his corn almost every day. He says he does not hill the corn as it cuts off the circula tion of air and does not give the plant sufficient air and moisture. Hilling corn, he claims, causes the earth to crust over and as a con sequence has a tendency to dwarf It. Plant life, like human beings, must have air to thrive. Our friend's ad vice Is logical and if you have been hilling your corn why not try cultivating Instead? DOG DAYS. Dog days are with us, of which there are forty, during the hottest part of the year, beginning with the heliacal rising of Slrlus, the dog star. The time of rising Is now, ow ing to the procession of the equin oxes, different from what It "was to the ancients, July 1, and the dog days are now counted from July 3 to August 11, that is, twenty days before and twenty days after the heliacal rising. Dog days are usu ally accompanied by sultry condi tions, and the housewife finds It difficult to keep milk and other foods from quickly spoiling or bo coming unfit to eat. Tho atmos phere causes languor, and children to become peevish. Tho star Itself has nothing to do with tho atmos pheric "conditions, but coincident with Slrlus rising at tho same time as the sun we have sultry and heat ed conditions, and has given tho period named as dog days. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM The recent Democratic convention at Baltimore nominated as its candi dato for president an ultra-progres slve; as Its candidate for vlce-presl dent a moderate progressive; and then adopted as Its platform of prin ciples one which contains few of tho socalled progressive features. Wo look In vain, for Instance, for any roferenco to tho doctrines of tho initiative, referendum and recall. There is no attack upon tho courts The "money trust" Is barely men the Citizen Publishing Company. E. b. HAUDKItllKSOIt W. W. WOOD .U'liY 10, 1012. tloned. "Special prlvllego Is not denounced. Tho banks and corpora tions are spoken of with the mildest sort of deprecation. "Wall street' is mentioned but once and In an ex tremely Inoffensive manner. The thunders of condemnation for tho moneyed Interests with which tho convention was regaled by the "peerless leader," are strangely ab sent form tho platform which he is alleged to have had so large a part In framing. Blowing hot with his mouth and cold with his pen, tho shrewd leader of Democracy evl dently hopes to make his party ac ceptable to "all sorts and condi tions of men." So that while the Democratic candidate, so far as his personal ideas of progressivlsm are concern ed, might very well be acceptable to the followers of Col. Roosevelt, the platform would undoubtedly be spurned by the ultra-progressive leader of the proposed third party The one feature of the Democratic platform which differentiates It ab solutely from the Republican declar ation of principles, Is its renewed ad vocacy of the doctrine of free trade. Accompanied by much argument. and with elaborate detail, It demands a tariff for revenue only, and the admission Into this country, free of duty, of all the necessities of life This is the old heresy to which the Democratic party has clung so per sistently for generations, and which, while making a very pretty economic theory, would If put into practice, result only in economic disaster. It is safe to say that the farmers and laborers of this country, engage ed In producing the necessaries of life, are not yet ready to come Into competition with the European wage-earner or the Asiatic coolie The Republican doctrine that the tariff should be so adjusted as to equal the difference in cost of pro duction between here and abroad, is plainly the only rational basis for the regulation of this subject, and tho only theory on which the work Ingman, both as a producer and a consumer, Is fully protected and fairly treated. As between tho Republican and Democratic party In the coming cam paign, it is plainly evident that the main Issue -will be tho tariff, as It has been so often In the past. Development of Honesdale Matter of Common Sense. A town Is like a plant: It may grow anyway; but It will grow faster If It Is cultivated. We would be quick to defend this community in timo of -war. It Is equally urgent that wo he prompt to promote Its welfare in tlmo of peace. Tho easiest money man acquires comes from tho Increasing valuo of his homo. Therefore, the most Im portant work he does Is helping the community to grow. The value of each man's property Is enhanced by the value of tho property around It. It Is not enough to build a good house; wo must help to make a good town. Tho seed from which springs this community's prosperity is tho money that Is Invested hero at home. It will never bear fruit for us If It Is planted soinewhcro else. This town that Is our residence to day Is our children's recollection for a life-time. What shall they remem ber? Good stores, clean streets, com fortable homes? or something else? Tho development of this commun ity Is not a matter of sentiment; It Is a matter of common sense. It re turns not only a reward In content ment, but a profit In property valu ation. Human happiness depends on tho things that are nearest to us tho homo first of all, and then tho town In which wo live. Whatever wo do to make tho home pleasanter or tho town oetter, makes llfo more wortu tho living. STARRUCCA. (Special to The Citizen.) Starrucca, July 9. Tho handkerchief bazaar hold by tho W. C. T.
