OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FARM
ER HOY".
Charles Dudley Warner has said
" that everybody ought to be born in
a little red farmhouse with a stone
wall around It." Now we don't be
lieve It makes any difference wheth
er or not that farmhouse has a
stone wall around it, or whether its
color be red or white or green, ibut
we do say that the boy born on the
farm is born in the realm of oppor
tunity. Joslah Strong also said that
"were he to be born again, and
were Providence to permit him the
choice of a place of birth, he would
say, By all means, let it be on a
farm."
More opportunities offer them
selves to the young people on the
farm than to any other class of young
people. Our city cousins may laugh
at us, but let them laugh; it is only
because they don't know a "good
thing when they see It."
THE STATE AND COUNTY COM
MITTEEMEN. While the demand is general
among Republicans for the with
drawal from the Republican elec
toral ticket of candidates for the of
fice of presidential elector who are
opposed to President Taft, the atti
tude of Roosevelt members of the
Republican state and county commit
tees should not pass unnoticed.
These committees were named b
the recent Republican state conven
tion which was in complete control
of the Progressives, and are known
to contain the names of many men
who are ardent supporters of Col.
Roosevelt and his candidacy. It
should bo perfectly plain to these
committeemen that they are In prac
tically the same position as t'ae
Roosevelt candidates for the offlce
of presidential elector on the Repub
lican ticket, and that, in order to.be
consistent and honest they should at
once withdraw. It Is tho duty of the
Republican state and county com
mittees to conduct the campaign for
the election of the Republican can
didates for president and vice-president.
Any committee member who
cannot conscientiously, whole-heartedly
and without reserve work to
ward this end has no proper place on
tho committee and no moral right
to remain on it. In justice to him
self and to his own character he
should not permit himself to occupy
so equivocal a position. To hold a
commission as an olllcer in an army
while either secretly plotting or
openly working to assist the enemy,
is a position which every honest man
will seek to avoid. The Republicans
of this state want a square deal.
They do not question the right of any
man to sever his relations with his
party or to join a new party and
work for it If he so desires, but they
do demand that there shall be no
treachery among their own officers
or in the ranks.
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Col. Roosevelt In his "confession of
faith" and in his Chicago platform
very effectively punctures tho Demo
cratic fallacy of free trade. Follow
Ing tho Republican platform plank
on tho subject, and President Taffs
strong denunciation of tho "tariff for
revenue only" doctrine, It places tho
chief policy of tho Democratic party
very much on tho defensive. Unless
tho Progressive party should collapse
before tho campaign closes, by rea'
the Citizen Publishing Company.
E. Ft. IIAKtlKXnERGIt
W. W. WOOD
son of the weight of its own particu
lar fallacies, It may be of consider
able assistance in carrying on the
educational campaign against the
free trade heresy. The weak at
tempt of the Democratic party at Bal
timore to steal the Progressive
thunder prior to the Chicago Roose
velt convention, caused the Pro
gressive guns to be trained princl
nally on Democratic policies. While
Republicans are denounced briefly
as thieves and robbers, Democrats
are characterized at great length as
lacking In those essential elements
which distinguish the wise man
from the fool.
For such assistance, therefore, as
the new party can render In the
fight for reasonable protection of
our American industries, we should
all be truly grateful. Yet what a
pity it is that instead of dividing
the protective forces of the coun
try and putting in jeopardy the
prosperity and happiness of the
great bulk of our citizens, Col
Roosevelt should not have seen fit
to lay aside his personal ambition
and personal vindictiveness, and
lend his unquestioned energy and
ability to the Republican party in
its continued and Increased busi
ness prosperity. As it is, he has
split the only party that stands be
tween the American people and
business disaster with Its attendant
losses to the wage earner as well as
the business man, and has jeopardiz
ed the prosperity of the country;
and all this on tho sole issue that
the Republican convention refused
to seat his delegates, thereby de
prlving him of the Republican pres
idential nomination. Col. Roosevelt
has lost an opportunity which will
never return to him, to be of real
service to his country.
PRESIDENT TAFT'S OPINION,
President Taft said on Friday o
last week to the members of the
Maryland Republican Association
who called on him in a body at the
White House: " If there are any men
on that list (of presidential electors)
who are not going to vote for the
men at the neaa oi tnai ucxei, i
don't hesitate to say that they are
dishonest men, in that they are hold
ing out to the people who are to vote
for them implied promise that they
will vote for the names on tho ticket
when they in fact Intend to vote for
somebody else."
This is exactly tho position taken
by Tho Citizen Immediately after the
close of the Republican national con
vetnion. President Taffs language
applies with peculiar force to those
candidates for the offlce of presiden
tial elector in Pennsylvania who
still remain on the Republican ticket
while openly supporting the candi
date of tho Progressive party for
President. It is Impossible to un
derstand how these men, If they pro
pose to remain on the ticket, can rec
oncile their attltudo with tho plain
est principles of political honesty. H
Is asido from the marl: to say that
President Taft's nomination was
stolen and that he is not entitled to
receive Republican votes. It Is not
President Taft's fortunes with which
these men are juggling so much as It
Is the constitutional right of more
than half a million Republican vo
ters of 'Pennsylvania to express their
will at the polls and have that will,
so expressed, recorded In tho elector
al college. 'President Taft is quite
right when ho characterizes as dis
honest the attltudo of a candidate
for elector who will permit his name
to stand In tho Taft and Sherman
column on the ballot, while ho in
tends, if elected, to cast his vote in
tho electoral college for someone
else.
ORGANIZE AT ONCE.
Why should there bo any further
delay on tho part of tho Republi
cans of Pennsylvania in organizing
for tho re-election of President Taft?
It Is now practically two months
since tho Republican national nomi
nations were made; tho election will
occur within tho next threo months.
Thoro Is no tlmo to bo lost.
Tho Republicans of tho State are
confronted by an unprecedented sit
uation. There should bo no delay in
meeting It.
It 13 not a question of Penroso on
one side and Fllnn on the other.
Mr. Flinn Is no longer a Republican,
and can have no authority to speak In ,
the Republican name. Ho can and
must be treated as the common ,
enemy of the party ns any Demo-
crat Is seek ng as ho and nil Roose-
velt supporters do the party s de-
feat and destruction. Tho State
Committee masquerading as Repub-,
llcnn s rniistltntnd n tH mnlnrltv nf ,
One should bo created at once, one
that shall have the recognition and
co-operation of tho National Commit
tee. It is futile, if not fatal, to wait
until the contemplated change in tho
electoral ticket has been completed.
That will be delayed by the enemies
of the party as long as possible with
the purpose of cnuslng further em
barrassment. Immediate organiza
tion of the Republican forces would
greatly promote prompt and neces
sary action that will assure voters
of an electoral ticket whose integrity
all can have confidence In.
Hundreds of thousands of alw.ivn '
loyal Pennsylvania Republicans, to
gether with many, many thousands
who supported Roosevelt at the pri
maries but who cannot follow him
now that he Is no longer a Republi
can, aro impatient for organization
and leadership, for action that will
give confidence and strength to the
Republican cause
Delay encourages doubt and costs 1
confidence. There should be immcdl-1

ROOSEVELT1AN FACTS.
Theoodre Roosevelt was elected
President in 1904, and served four
years. His administration cost the
people of this country three billion,
live hundred and twenty-two million,
nine hundred and eighty-two thous
and, eight hundred and sixteen dol
lars and ninety-seven cents ($3,-
522,9S2,S1G.97). This is twice as
much as the combined administra
tions of Washington, Adams, Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe. John Qulnceyi
Adams, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler
Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan. His two administrations
were the most extravagant In the
history of the United States and was
the main cause of the people electing
a Democratic Congress. His two
administrations cost the people of
this country approximately seven
billion, seven hundred and forty mil
lion dollars (?7, 740,000, 000). This
Is more than double the appropria
tion for the four years of the Civil
War. Just think of it, Mr. Voter,
these are llgures from the govern
ment record and cannot be disputed.
Just jog your memory and you will
recall the fact that the cost of living
began to increase during Roosevelt's
term as President, and it has gained
such a momentum that no legisla
tion has been able to step it increas
ing. If the Bull Moose and Trust
Creator Perkins get another chance
at the National Treasury what will
become of the taxpayers? Can we
afford the luxury of another term
for this man who believes he is
greater than Washington or Jeffer
son? NEGRO BISHOPS LEAVE T. It.
W. B. Derrick Says That He
AVIII
Support Taft.
Bishop William B. Derrick, of the
African Methodist church, and a pow
er among the colored voters of the
United States, has announced that
he was going to vote for William H.
Taft for President, as against his
former friend, Theodore Roosevelt.
He gave It as his opinion that Taft
would win.
Bishop Derrick's home is in No.
3C State street, Flushing, and at the
time of his Interview recently he was
preparing for a trip of three weeks to
Boston and Nova Scotia. He had
just returned from a trip through
Michigan and West Virginia. In an
swer to a question he said:
" I am going to vote for President
William H. Taft."
Continuing, he said that when
Roosevelt returned from his African
hunting trip he was the man of the
hour.
" But he has deliberately turned
his back on the colored people of
America," said the Bishop. " Ho lost
his friends when he turned down the
Republican party. His declaration
that tho negro can have no voice in
his party will loso him many votes."
DEATH OF W.M. C. FISCHER.
Ho Wrote "I Love to Tell tiio Story"
mill Other Hymns.
William Gustave Fischer, known
throughout the world wherever tho

his hymns, died Tuesday night at his

Philadelphia, after a brief Illness.
The best known of tho more than
200 hymns which Mr. Fischer com-
posed Is "I Love to Tell the Story."

DEATH OF CORNELIA BEETZ
One of the most sad and sudden
deaths that wo have been called up
on to report occurred on Thursday
afternoon of last week, when Miss
Cornelia Beetz of Ridge street passed
'Suddenly and quietly away in Dr.
I Reed Burns' hospital, Scranton,
i where she had gone for an operation
for varicose veins. Miss Beetz had
apparently recovered from the opera
tion and had Intended to return
home on Friday or Saturday, follow
ing the day she was called to her
Heavenly Home. Miss Beetz was
reading a letter from a little nephew
when she suddenly expired. Death
being due to a weak heart.
The announcement of Miss Beetz's
demise shocked her many Honesdale
relatives and friends, who were look
ing forward with much pleasure to
her return home, she having written
a letter to tnat enect oniy tne ciay
before. But her Master had need
of her and He beckoned unto her
and she went to the Heavenly Home
instead. Her life was full of sun
shine and her Christian character
will never be forgotten. Truly her
life was the reflection of her gentle
Master's, she having done all the
good sho could to whom she could
and whenever she could. Her dis
position was sweet and her life pure.
Miss Beetz was a favorite among
young people, who deeply mourn
their loss. The deceased was a great
help in the Lutheran church of which
she had been a member several
years. She belonged to the Young
People's Society and was an ardent
worker in her Master's vineyard.
Whenever church and other organi
zations had home talent plays or en
tertainments, Miss Beetz took lead
ing parts. She was especially adapt
ed to this line of work and always
received a hearty applause when
ever she came before the public. Her
last appearance on the stage was in
"She Stoops to Conquer," when she
took the part of the "Maid," given
under the auspices of tho Y'oung
Men's Hebrew Association.
Miss Beetz was born in Honesdale
43 years ago, and was a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Beetz. Besides
her father, one sister, Mrs. Philip
Dlrlam, both of Cherry Ridge, and
one brother, John, of Honesdale, sur
vive. Miss Beetz kept house for her
brother on Ridge street, where about
a year ago they completed building a
line modern home. She will be
greatly missed in the home, by the
neighbors and also by a large con
course of loving and admiring
friends.
The funeral of our departed sister
was held at St. John's Lutheran
church, Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock, a prayer having been made
at the house at 1:30 by her pastor,
Rev. C. C. iMiller, before the cortege
went to the church. The Young Peo
ple's Society and Gravity Improve
ment association attended In bodies.
The sermon, delivered by her late
pastor, was very Impressive. Tho
floral contributions wero many and
beautiful. Miss Beetz's remains were
tenderly carried to the grave In St.
John's Lutheran cemetery by I. A.

MANUAL LABOR IS HONORABLE.
The trouble with most young men
Is that they do not understand tho
dignity of manual labor. They do
not realize honors and fortune may
toe more readily gained outside tho
so-called learned professions than
in them; and that it is just as honor
able to swing a hammer or to hold
a plow as it is to make a speech in
court or amputate a limb. The
young men should be taught as early
as possible that It is not so much
what a man does for a living as how
he does It. and that manual labor Is
as honorable as any other.
