Maeterlinck. TAFT'S BUDGET PLAN. In spite of the fact that the Dem ocratic Congress failed to back him up in it, President Taft intends to go right along 'with his budget plan to tho extent of demonstrating its superiority over the present method of haphazard appropriation for rou tine expenses of government. It will be recalled that Dr. Wilson, the Democratic candidate for Presi dent, has endorsed Mr. Taft's sugges tion. He has also endorsed Mr. Taft's idea of a non-partisan, per manent tariff board and he has en dorsed him (personally. Considering these various endorse ments, it is difficult to see how Dr. Wilson can Justify himself on- other than selfish grounds for trying so strenuously to replace a man who, by precedent and performance, Is en titled to a second term. That, however, Is what Mr. Kip ling calls "another story." Wo were speaking of the budget plan. It is not original with Mr. Taft, of course. Other nations have used it for years, but its application to the United States Government was Mr. Taft's suggestion, and its adoption has now become Mr. Taft's fight. It is so clearly the proper thing to do that no amount of peevish op posltin can long stand in its way. Harrisburg Telegraph. THE ARTFUL DODGER. Tho Colonel can say more and commit himself to less than any man In the public life of to-day. For in stance, In an editorial In the maga zine with which he Is associated he announces that ho believes in the protective tariff "as a principle, ap proached from the interests of the whole people, and not as a bundlo of preferences to be given to favored individuals." For an example of glittering mean Inglessness, can you beat that? The tariff is troubling tho Colon el, He wants tho support of tho high protectionists as woll as of the free trader. He wishes to tell the former that ho believes in the "principle" of protection and the latter that he wouldn't impose a tariff tax that would help anybody in particular. For votes' sake, he Is all things to all men on the tariff. This trait of tho Colonel was well Illustrated In tho matter of Canadian reciprocity. When ho thought It popular ho lauded It to tho skies, and was even more enthusiastic over It than President Taft, who originat ed it. Now ho is trying to convince tho western farmers that he was de ceived into favoring reciprocity and nover was really for it. Roobovelt tells tho worklngmon and women that ho Is for shorter hours and easier conditions, but ho never stops to toll them how ho Is go ing to bestow theso blessings upon mankind. Ho loves to prato In empty terms about "social and In dustrlal justice," but without a pro gram In sight. Ho declares ho haB been against bosses, but Insists that ho shall bo permitted to decldo who is a boss and who Is not. Likewise as to trusts. Tho bad ones must go and tho good remain, and ho shall say which Is which, for tho sako of his dear friend Perkins and other liberal contributors.

WOOD ONE MONTH 13c SEPTEMBER 25, H12. SWELL YOUR DEPOSITS. According to tho Treasury Depart ment tho amount of money in circu lation, based upon an estimated pop ulation of 95,030,000, Is $34. 3G per capita. Many of the male readers of The Press have much more than this amount of cash In their pockotbooks at the present moment. Many a fe male reader has a sum in excess of this amount deposited in tho "First National Bank" of which she Is the solo stock-lng holder. Money needlessly carried about ono's person induces extravagance in expenditure and promotes robbery. Funds hoarded in stockings aro a temptation for thieves and tho owner always Incurs a risk of loss. In tho aggregate the sums of money care lessly carried In purses and pocket books and hoarded at home amounts no doubt to many millions of dol lars. Money serves Its best purpose when It Is kept In circulation and the best medium for putting it In circulation is tho banks. Last week the bank clearings of the whole country were $3,142,200, 111, about 5107,000,000 greater than during the corresponding week of last year and nearly $400,000,000 greater than during tho correspond ing week of 1907. This is one of the best indications of the great activity in business circles at present. Requirements of the country are such that every available dollar should be kopt in circulation. Let every man put his spare funds In the bank. Let every woman deposit tho money she has hoarded, thus thoughtlessly depriving business men of Its use. Every act which helps a good bank, promotes the true Interests of the community In which such an in stitution is located. By maintaining liberal balances in the banks citizens will bo lending aid many fold to the merchants and manufacturers who have need of funds to pay for goods and to satisfy payrolls. Idle money Is baleful, but funds kept In circulation aro fruitful of good results. Philadelphia Press. AN" ANOMALOUS SITUATION. Probably no ono living In this generation will witness a stranger political anomaly than that which occurred in Harrisburg on Friday of last week. Tho so-called Republican state committee waB called together to transact important business re lating to the Republican national campaign. At the meeting Mr. Mur phy, a committeeman from Philadel phia, declared that two-thirds of tho membership of tho state commltteo are earnest supporters of Roosevelt and Johnson as national candidates, and his declaration met with an out burst of applause. Ho was un doubtedly correct in his statement. But it is difficult to grasp the full meaning of the situation. The com mltteo whose duty It Is to conduct tho campaign In Pennsylvania for tho Republican national candidates and in whoso hands rest tho fortuno of those candidates so far as this stato Is concerned, declares ltsolf by a ma jority of Its members, as not only opposed to those candidates, but as vigorous supporters of tho candi dates of an opposing party waging a bitter and relentless war against tho Republican party, its candidates and its platform. How tho Individ ual members of this Republican state commltteo who have openly declared their allegiance to tho Washington party and Its candidates In this stato can retain actlvo membership on the commltteo, and roconcllo such conduct with tho faintest sonso of political honesty Is boyond tho un derstanding of tho averago man. Thoy may endeavor to explain their conduct by saying that thoy aro at war with Taft and Sherman and tho Republican platform, and that In war as In lovo all's fair. But they must remember that there aro vast numbers of Republican voters in this stato whom thoy aro grossly misrep resenting, and doprlvlng of their rights to have an honest and vigor ous campaign conducted in bohalf of their candidates. Republicans of tho Pennsylvania hrand aro not averse to a fair and squaro political fight at any tlmo by tho adhorents of any party, but they will not stand long for tho sort of tactics by which tho Roosovolt adhcrontB on tho stato commltteo aro attempting to betray them into tho hands of tho enemy. IN THE POLITICAL ARENA Tlio Mnino Returns. Now York World: Ono thing more is demonstrated by tho Malno re turns. Tho Republican party Is much stronger than It had been sup posed. 'Popular disgust with it, es pecially In tho East, Is far less ag gressive than It ought to bo. The Malno election Indicates that If Mr. Roosevelt had not had an over whelming ambition to bo tho only President over elected to a third term, tho outlook would have been far brighter than any of us believ ed. The Greatest of All Issues. Harper's Weekly: A third term Is In Itself dangerous, but If Mr. Roose velt Is permitted to enjoy a third term tho Injury that will follow can not bo measured. It Is conceivable that an emergency might arise which would warrant sweeping aside all precedent and the defiance of tho un written law so as to continue in of fice the ono man possessed of the peculiar qualities to cnablo them to meet tho crises, a man of such prov ed Integrity and unselfishness and patriotism that there would be no fear of his covertly seeking to estab lish a dynasty or to retain his power for life. There is no such present emergency to Justify a departure from precedent. Neither at homo nor abroad docs the Republic face danger. It is threatened neither by invasion nor domestic revolution, ex cept that revolution which Mr. Roosevelt has for years endeavored to bring about by inciting class hat red and inflaming the idle, the dis solute, and tho unworthy against the Industrious and those endowed with greater capacity. There Is no par ticular kind of work that Mr. Roose velt can do better than any one else. He is not the exceptional man. He was given seven years in which to prove his worth, seven unusual years In which to demonstrate his courage, his honesty, his capacity as a leader, his statesmanship. Those seven years were seven years of dismal failure. Hon. Joel Hill of Wayno county, Democratic candidate for Congress, from this district, was hero last week looking after his political In terests. Mr. Hill Is a pleasant gen tleman to meet, and as far as we know he would make a good con gressman, If he only belonged to the other party. New Milford Adver tiser. PARTNERS IX TOWN BUSINESS. A village, a town, a city, Is a part nership. All of us here are In busi ness together. Ownership of proper ty is Individual, but our prosperity as a whole is closely bound up in each others' interests. If you have a house to rent, goods to sell, labor to hire, your success in getting a good price for such service depends on the prosperity of your neighbors. If they are doing well they will pay fair prices, and, as times go, these prices tend to rise! On the other hand, if your neigh bors are not succeeding, they will haggle for the last cent for your house or your goods or your labor. Tho prices of theso services will tend to fall. When you buy goods away from homo you work to reduce the pros perity of your neighbors. Thereby they become less able to help you and you have failed to build up business ties with them so that they feel no personal interest in you. When you buy goods at home, you Increase the prosperity of your neighbors. They are not merely better able thereby to help you along In return, but you have created busi ness friendships that make them want to help you. Buying at home pays! THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BUS INESS .MAN'S VIEWS. No type of citizen is better quali fied to Judge what political princi ples will bring about tho welfare of the country than tho business man. Business Is always a delicate register of economic conditions. Every littlo tremor, every rise and fall of confidence, every Increase or subsidence in the general prosperity, Is surely indlcatod by Its effect on business. Tho successful business man has studied his business. Ho has studied conditions affecting his business. His eyo Is not only to tho present but Is directed oven moro attentive ly toward tho futuro, for It Is the future he must reckon with In every purchase of stock and every plan to better his conditions. Long acquaintance with tho direct results of political agitation and the transformation of political principles Into laws, the business man has be come a political seer or prophet, knowing with a certainty, born of ex perience what character or adminis tration of public affairs will insure prosperity. Now tho business man does not hope selfishly for prosperity. Thero is no typo of prosperity under ex isting conditions that comes to him alone. He can only bo Included In tho general prosperity, since his prosperity Is Inseparable from gen eral prosperity; that Is, prosperity among all classes. Consequently, tho kind of political conditions, which tho business man hopes for, aro tho samo which every man should en deavor to bring about, bo ho working for his own Interests or for tho gen eral welfare. Thereforo tho recent organization of tho Taft and Sherman Business Men's National Campaign Committee in Phlladolphla should point tho way for tho Intelligent votor, when overy member Is required to pledgo him self In 'favor of: Tho election of Taft and Sherman. Tho maintenance of a sound -financial policy which will insuro stability to all classes of business and promototho welfaro of all tho peo ple. Tho maintenance of tho economic policy of protection to American In dustry, under which tho nation has prospored and grown as no other in tho world. Tho maintenance of an honest, wise, safo and reliable judicial system, undor which overy man's right shall bo fully perfected. Tho maintenance of peaco and prosperity In tho cntlro field of la bor, In town and country, the en couragement and protection allko of Industry in tho field and factory. The maintenance of fundamental American Ideas of government and uncompromising hostility to all forms of class agitation nnd Impos sible schemes of demoralizing and ruinous personal rule. Tho earnest co-oporatlon, In a true spirit of patriotism, of overy good citizen who believes In honest, just and efficient government. IIOXESDALE'S FREE LIBRARY. Tho Citizen, from tlmo to time, has printed a number of articles upon Honesdale's free library, endeavor ing to bring tho public In close re lationship with tho storehouse of knowledge which Is confined upon tho shelves In the High school building. It Is admitted by librarians that tho most effective way for conducting a campaign Is through the press. Not only will tho reading and thinking people be reached, but an article or editorial appearing In a newspaper, will, because of the public notice given it, receive greater considera tion than If printed elsewhere. The peoplo of Honesdalo will therefore be enlightened why they need a free library and we will print in our Issues reasons for hav ing this kind of an Institution. In fact Honesdalo has the library and the next thing Is to have the public patronize It. Our article to-day Is entitled: " REASONS FOR HAVING A FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY," by F. A. Hutchlns. Public libraries have without de lay become an essential part of a public education system and are as clearly useful as tho public schools. They are not only classed with schools, but have generally become inuuontiai ndjuncts of the public schools. The number of readers Is rapidly Increasing and tho character of the books Is constantly improv ing. Not infrequently tho objection is heard that the public libraries are opening tho doors to light and use less dooks; that reading can be, and often is, carried to a vicious and enervating excess, and therefore that the libraries' Influence Is doubtful and on the whole not good. This argument does not need elaborate exposure. The main purpose of the library is to counteract and check the circula tion and Influence of tho empty and not Infrequently vicious books that aro so rife. A visit to any news stand will disclose a world of low and demoralizing "penny dreadfuls" and other trash. These are bought by boys and girls because they want to read and can nowhere else obtain reading material. This deluge of worthless periodicals and books can be counteracted only by gratuitous supplies from the public library. Whether these counteracting dooks oe nction or not, they may be pure and harmless, and often of In tellectual merit and moral excel lence. The question Is not whether peoplo shall read fiction for read it they will but whether they are to have good fiction Instead of worthless and harmless trash. The tendency to read Inferior books can soon be checked by a good library. If tho attention of the chil dren In school Is directed to good books, and tho free library contains such books, thero will be no thought of the news-stand as the place for finding reading matter. Tho economical reason for estab lishing free public libraries is the fact that public officers and public taxation manage and support them efficiently and make them available to the largest number of readers. By means of a free library there Is the best utilization of effort and of re sources at a small cost to Individu als. While a private library may great ly delight and improve the owner and his Immediate circle of friends, It Is a luxury to which he and they only can resort. A library charging a fee may bring comfort to a respectable board of directors by ministering to a small and financially Independent circle of book-takers, by Its freedom from tho rush of numerous and eag er roaders, and by strict conformity to the notions and vagaries of the managers. But such a library nover realizes tho highest utility. The greater part of tho books llo un touched upon tho shelves, and com pared with tho free library It is a lamo and impotent affair. Tho books of a public library ac tively pervade the community; they reach and aro influential with very largo numbers and the utility of the common possession books Is mul tiplied without limit. Beforo several of our towns lies tho question of opening to all what Is now limited to thoso who pay a fee. This is not merely a limitation It Is practically a prohibition. Whether right or wrong, human beings as at present constituted will not frequent in largo numbers librar ies that charge a fee. Tho spirit of tho ago and tho tendency of liberal communities aro entirely in favor of furnishing this means of educa tion and amusement by taxation, paupers, parks, hlghwnys and schools havo no reasonable ground for deny ing freo reading to their Inhabitants Theso towns spend vast sums of money In providing education, and yet omit the small extra oxpendlturo which would cnablo young men and women to continuo their education. Tho exporlenco of Library Com missions of various states has amply demonstrated that libraries and lit erature aro sought for and appre ciated quite as much by rural com munities as by tho larger towns, and not infrequently tho apprecia tion is apparently keener, becauso of tho absence of Interests and amuse ments other than thoso provldod by tho library. Thero Is now no real reason why ovory part of this stato may not onjoy tho advantages and pleasures of book distribution, for concentration of effort In tho small towns olsowhero has provided effi cient, attractlvo and economical li braries, and could as well do so hero. "THE AXGELUS." At a tlmo when dramatic offerings with a decided leaning In tho direc tion of religious thought nnd Incident seem to appeal to tho thoatro-golng public It will bo of Interest to note that Mr. Harrington Reynolds late ly a star of tho original "Rosary" Company, is to bo presented by A. O. Dolamntor In a new play by Nell Twomey, "Tho AngoluB." In tho "Rosary," Mr. Reynolds will bo long remembered for his excellent por trayal of Father Kelly, and It will bo of Interest to know that the charac ter to bo Impersonated ,by him In his new piece, "The Angotus," will also be that of a parish priest, Father O'Brien, and will possess many of tho characteristics which endeared tho genial, whole-souled priest to the many thousands that witnessed the former play. While, as tho tltlo will Indicate, "The Angelus" has a re ligious thomo woven through tho plot, It Is by no means of a sombre nature. Tho dramatic Interest Is un bounded and tho clean, wholesomo comedy that carries through tho en tire story contributes to a most de lightful entertainment, possessing elements thnt must appeal to even the most critically Inclined.
