Bull Mooso friends will eventually
return to tho party founded on prin
ciples and sustained by history. It
Is unfortunate that they should at
this tlmo bo so short-sighted as to
deem it to bo tholr duty to make
such fecblo efforts as they may to
wreck tho ship on which they will
before- long, seek shelter. It Is
probable that before the Novombcr
election many of them will think bet
ter of tho matter and refuse to be
further deceived.
And If ho do this with a persistent
effort ho must surely bo crowned
with success, a success that will glvo
him a competence' such as mon of
millions are covetous of. It will glvo
him a sweeter content than though
ho sriueozed his shekels from tho
bodies of fellow mortals.

Srrl'OKTlNG TAFT.
It was announced nt Republican
headquarters last week that 3,000
post cards mailed to the editors of
Republican newspapers throughout
the country, to ascertain their at
titude In tho campaign, had elicited
posltlvo assurances from 2,217 that
they would support Taft. Eighty
Republican editors confessed that
they wero supporting the Progres
sive cause.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
The value of knowledge sometimes
outweighs the amount of effort re
quired to obtain it.
National Cnairman Hllles says the
drift to Taft Is growing stronger
every day.
NOT A MAX OF HIS WORD.
On the 4th of March next I shall
have served three and a half years,
and this three and a half years con
stitute my first term. The wise cus
tom which limits the President to
two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circum
stances will I be a candidate for or
accept another nomination. Theo
doro Roosevelt, November S, 1904.
Are you, Mr. Voter, going to help
this kind of a man in office?
ereens the Republican Party simply
because ho could not wrest tho nom
ination from It. Having smashed the
Republican Party, ho would offer us
an unstablo organization founded
wholly upon his own personality
nn organization that would fall Into
shattered pieces the moment his per
sonality should bo removed. He
brings us Personal Ambition, greed
for office, disrespect for constitution
and law. And ho would havo us
overthrow Taft and the Republican
Party merely to satisfy that greed
for power.
Ho cannot bo elected. There must
and will be either a Republican or
Democratic President and a Repub
lican or Democratic Congress. If
there are Republicans who would
make Wilson's election possible by
voting for Roosevelt and are willing
to tako chances under a Democratic
administration that Is their business.
But it is an awful gamble with prosperity.
THE BOSS HATER'S AVAltXIXG.
Governor Wilson, In a recent
speech in Jersey City, jarred the
Democratic ranks by outlining one
of the most arbitrary programs for
future use in his dealings with of
fice seekers that has ever been heard
from a campaign platform. In his
most emphatic and impressive man
lier "ho said: , .
it Is my duty to warn you that
the man who does not vote for the
progressive program of tho Demo
cratic Party disqualifies as a Dem
crat. Whatever position I may hold,
Is is my firm purpose to test every
man by these questions: What do
you do? How did you vote? With
whom did you co-operate and where
did you stand? And no explanation
-wHl'change tho record for me.
And this is the man wiose avowed
Intention is to wipe out "bosslsm!"
Puck was right: "What fools these
mortals be!"
THE
POLITICS RIGHT IX A NUT SHELL
For a perfect description of the
present political conditions commend
us to tho following preamble to the
platform adopted by the Republican
State Convention of New York:
Tho prosperity enjoyed by this
country tho past three years has
been made possible by tho security,
order and good administration of tho
government under the Republican
Party. Its continuance would bo
threatened by a chango of adminis
tration. A vote for the Democratic
Presidential nominee endangers na
tional prosperity; a vote for tho can
didate of tho Progressive Party Is
mmivnlont to half a vote for tho
Democratic nomlneo and proportion
ately Is as dangerous.
There you havo It in a nut shell.
President Taft, succeeding Pres
ident Roosevelt on tho heels of a tre
mendous financial panic, has guided
tho country Into prosperous times.
Now tho country Ib asked by two
separate candidates to discard Taft
and his administration of prosper
ity and try chances In somo othor
direction.
There Is Wilson. His party has
declared protection to American In
dustries to bo unconstitutional, and
It is tho program of Dr. Wilson who
has a theory Just as Cleveland had
to reduco "radically" tho tariff.
All of his views hingo upon this rad
ical reduction. It Is his cure-all
But why experiment with Wilson
and his tariff theories when tho
country Is In a most prosperous con
dltlon and only needs rest from tho
theoretical statomen In order to con
tlnuo that prosperity?
Then thoro Is Roosovolt. And
what does ho want? Ho would havo
ub bollevo that ho alono Is tho only
man fitted by a dlvlno Providence t6
rule over this country, Ho Is agl
tating, appealing to tho passions of
men. He would smash Into smith-
HULL MOOSE PARTY IX
WAYXH COUNTY.
A number of gentlemen of good
character and excellent reputation,
who had formerly been Republicans,
met in tho grand jury room at the
Court House In Honesdale on Friday
evening last, and assisted in or
ganizing a Bull Moose club, and
pledged their political support and
effort to tho Progressive or Wash
ington party. As to most of these
men, no one questions their earnest
ness or sincerity. They view the po
litical situation from an angle which
undoubtedly leads them to believe
that tho country is suffering from
certain ills which can only be cured
by the election of Theodore Roose
velt to a third term. It is tho un
fortunate tendency of many good
people to discover In the world only
that which is evil, and In their eag
erness to destroy it they are quite
willing to wreck organized society.
Tho Wayne County Progressives
have permitted themselves to be won
over by tho striking personality of
Col. Roosevelt, by his loud platitudes
concerning social and economic jus
tice, and by his fierce denunciation
of all who do not agree with him.
It is apparent that these men havo
not stopped to carefully dissect the
Colonel, or measure up his platform,
before pledging him their fealty. If
they had done so they would have
discovered that his personalty is
about all there Is of the new party.
IIo organized it because he failed to
secure the Republican nomination at
Chicago. His purpose in organizing
It was first to prevent If possible tho
election of Mr. Taft, second to SO'
euro if possible his own election
So far as what nro known as pro
gressive principles nro concerned It
was not necessary to form a now
party. Col. Roosovolt was offered
at Chicago by tho regular Republi
cans, the privilege of writing tho
platform for tho party and of nam
ing his own choice, aside from him
self, for a presidential candidate Ho
refused to consider any proposition
which did not include his own namo
ns tho party's candidate for tho pros
ldoncy. Ho was not concerned then
nbout nrocresslvo principles. Ills
solo concern was his ambition to be
como a presidential candidate. Tho
disappointment of this ambition is
tho only reason for tho now party
So far as soundly progressive prln
clples aro concerned It Is not noccs
sary for Republicans to leavo thol
own party to find thorn, Tho Pro
grcsslvo platform contains nothing
of real valuo that Is not found In tho
Republican platform, whllo it does
contain planks which, If carried into
practice, would sap tho foundations
of organized government.
Tho Citizen has no personal quar
rel with tho gentlemen who hav
organized tho Bull Mooso party In
Wavno County. It Is ono of tho
Inalienable rlghtB of American cltl
zens to form now parties. Such par
ties havo Tlsen and had their brlof
day and gono out, from tho tlmo of
tho Declaration of Indopondenco un
til now. A party cannot permanent
ly onduro unless it Ib founded on an
enduring principle A party -which
has no apparent purposo, savo to
gratify tho personal ambitions of Its
leader will not bo long-lived. Our
POLITICAL AKKXA.
Stung by tho sharp proddlngs of
William Jennings Bryau, Colonel
Roosevelt was forced into admitting,
In a speech at Denver tho other day,
that his doctrine of the "recall" could
not consistently stop short of the of
fice he Is now seeking. "As far as I
am concerned," said he, "I should be
glad to have the recall for tho Presi
dent." Tho above Incident draws
from a correspondent of tho Philadel
phia Public Ledger tho following
pertinent comment: "This statement
is a further Indication, among others,
that Mr. Roosevelt has forgotten the
lessons of history, or, in his inordi
nate ambition, has determined to dis
regard them. Any student of history
knows that in the most trying years
of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln
would have been recalled from the
presidency had tho people possessed
the legal power of recall. Any stu
dent of history knows that tho great
States of the North, which had
elected Mr. Lincoln in 18G0, repudi
ated his administration at the elec
tions held in 1SC2, and would with
out doubt havo turned him out of of
fice if tho wild doctrine of tho recall
had then been tho law. New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin, which
had voted for Lincoln in 18G0, and
which in 1SC2 represented more than
a majority of the electoral college,
all cast a majority of votes against
Mr. Lincoln's administration In 1SG2.
All the work of the great-hearted
Lincoln would have been destroyed,
under sucb a system as the recall.
nd all that was fought for by tho
rmy of the Union would havo been
lost."
MINERALS OF WAYNE COUNTY
Damascus, Sept. 2S.
There's wealth in our hills, and
it only remains for tho husbandman
to bring it to the surface. You will
not dispute this, dear reader, when
ou go to the feed store to buy a
hundred of corn. These golden
batons or ears of corn are alinost-as
precious as the shiny particles of yel
low metal mined from tho earth.
Tho farmer coaxes tho golden corn
from the earth in an entirely differ
ent way. It aggregates a vast
amount of wealth annually. Just
ow corn is king.
A. productive soil is a farmer's
wealth ho knows something of the
surface and but little of what lies
underneath or that lies ridden in the
hills ho owns. While ho goes on
tilling the surface in tho sweat of,hls
brow, there may bo lying dormant
n the depths of his possessions that
which, when fully developed, would
give him an independence such as ho
had seen oft In his day dreams and
castle building. Wo say this very
thing undoubtedly exists right here
n tho hills of Damascus township.
That thero Is minerals In our hills
goes without dispute. It is like hon
esty, and good nature In humans, It
shows on tho surface. Anthracite
coal shows on tho surface. This fact
has been known for many years. An
attempt was made a few years ago to
dovelopo It. A mutual fund was
raised, an experienced driller from
the anthracite coal fields was hired
to "boro" in search of tho dusky
diamonds. Ho knew tho conditions of
tho rock through which his diamond
drill cut and In which stratas of coal
were found, but tboso who hired him
to prospect for them had not this
knowledge, consequently when ho
saw fit his drill refused to work, he
made a trip bnck to tno Wyoming
Valley, and when he saw fit ho re
turned, collected his pay, packed his
machinery and left. Why? Thoro
aro those who know just why that
prospecting was cut short. Thnt Job
and what lies hidden thero near Gali
leo is on record.
Near the center of tho township
along a circular lino of hills blue
copper shows for a distance of a half
mile wherever tho surfaco Is ledgoy
or tho rock crops out. It Is thero
awaiting developoment. The rocks
hold It nnd the earth claims it until
man in somo way claims it and turns
It into uso for himself and his fol
lows. Any ono with a curiosity to
sco what wo havo descrlbod can havo
that curiosity satisfied by n visit to
tho locality.
In tho east-central part of tho
township Is a deposit of graphite, or
black lead. This was stumbled upon
by accident many years since. For
about two years this substnnco Is bo
lng removed from its bed in Nature
and Is being put Into uso. Tho work
is being dono privately and on a
small scalo, yet tho work Is (per
sistently and constantly carried for
ward, tho strata of plumbago Increas
ing in depth, wedge-llko as tho work
advances.
What Is truo of our Damascus
hills may also bo truo of the mineral
oglcal conditions of tho hills of ad
jacent townships and throughout
Wayno county. Tho plugged oil holes
of tho Dyberry may yet bo mado
gushers that will In tho future- roll
up a rich harvest for thoso who will
open thorn at tho dictum of those
now controlling tho secret of -what
lies below tho surfaco.
But until such times shall bo mado
manifest tho farmer must stick to
his calling and draw his wealth 'from
the superficial layer ot old earth.

Tho figures that havo been Issued
at Washington during tho past week
by officials of tho Department of Ag
riculture to show tho enormous size
of tho crops that tho country has
Just harvested aro very Impressive,
certainly. On theso bumper crops
depend to a large extent tho coun
try's prosperity. But tho crops
would bo much ruoro cffectlvo in
promoting tho common welfare, and
tho nntional prosperity would bo
much greater, if thero wero not so
much expenso In getting tho pro
ducts of tho farms to market. Good
roads throughout tho country would
bo one of tho finest Investments tho
American people could raako. It Is to
bo regretted that tho government
does not spend on road construction
one-third of the $300,000,000 It
spends every year on Its military and
naval establishment. J. B. Penny
packer, executlvo secretary of tho
American Road Congress, estimates
that If 20 per cent, of tho public
highways of tho country wero Im
proved not less than $250,000,000
would bo saved In the cost of haul
ing tho crops of 1912. Mr. Ponny-
packer says:
" Tho government's prediction that
tho crop now being narvested will
exceed any previous yield should
serve to call attention to tho great
losses that aro being sustained by
farmers and consumers In the haul
ing of crops. It is estimated that the
Improvements ot tho main roads of
tho country, approximately 20 per
cent., would result in an annual
saving of at least $25,000,000 in tho
cost of hauling alone, which would
bo sufficient to Improve 50,000 miles
of road at a further cost of $5,000
per mile. In five years this would
improve 250,000 miles, which would
be sufficient to bring tho total
mileage of Improved roads up to 20
per cent."
At present It is estimated that
only a little more than 8 per cent, of
the public highways have l)een im
proved. Tho good roads movement
Is gaining ground rapidly, but it will
bo a number of years before as much
as 20 per cent, of the highways shall
have been improved. Tho citizens
of Pennsylvania aro to bo congratu
lated that as a result of recent legis
lation there is a promise that $50,
000,000 secured by bond Issues au
thorized by constitutional amend
ment, will bo available for good
roads construction in this common
wealth during the next few years.
It will bo an expenditure from
which the returns will be four fold,
not only greatly increasing tho com
fort and convenience of farm life
but cheapening materially tho cost
of farm produce to the teeming popu
lations of the cities. Pittsburg
