The only answer which the Inde pendent makes to our criticisms of last week is to say that our editorial staff is moved by " shameful animus and arrogant malignity." Of course this sort of abuse is not argument, and as The Citizen does not care to bandy epithets with its neighbor, the Incident may be considered closed with our criticism unanswered. The lesson to be drawn from It all is that a journal that pretends to be both a leader and an echo of pub lic opinion in a community should not permit itself to make base and unfounded charges against a body of citizens to serve a political purpose. If one man publicly charges another with being an accomplice In an at tempted assassination, knowing the charge to bo false, that Is a criminal offence and subjects the offender to severe punishment. How much worse is it to have a newspaper make a similar charge against a body of citizens, sending the defamatory matter broadcast among the people. Tho newspaper game of politics play ed in this way Is neither fair nor respectable, and The Citizen will at all times feel completely justified In coming to the defense of the citizens of this county against journalistic at tacks of this kind, whether those citizens be of Its political party or not. Let us have political discussion by all means. Tho more thorough and vigorous the better. But let there be an end to baseless, sensational and malicious charges made In the Interest of political partisanship. The editorials in a recent Issue of The Citizen commenting on articles of public Importance that appeared In the Independent, seem to have caused the editor of that journal to develop a case of Indigestion or some other ailment. He certainly was lab oring under a hallucination when his distorted imagination conceived the idea of annihilating Tho Citizen. However, for the Information of "our cross-the-street comteraporary" we desire to state that Tho Citizen will continue to do business at tho same old stand for many months to come notwithstanding tho fierce de nunciation of tho Independent. Fur thermore It Is our Intention and pur pose to keep on progressing and ex panding into one of the "best and most reliable semi-weekly family newspa pers in northeastern Pennsylvania, In the interest of this community and "Wayne county in particular, aiding and assisting as best wo can the in dustrial, business and agricultural pursuits of tho county, being fair to the peoplo and public as well as to ourselves, giving to every person a square deal. It Is possible that our position may lo misunderstood or misconstrued, regarding somo topics, and by some persons purposely, and while wo are not Infallible wo will endeavor at all times to ho consist ent. TO WAYXH COUNTY PROGRES SIVES. Let us for a moment reason to gether. Let us assume that you have heretofore acted with the Republican party. What aro you to gain by trans ferring your allegiance to tho Wash ington Party? You say It Is tho party that stands for human rights. lias any party In tho history of tho world stood longer and moro vigorously for human rights than the Republican party? Has tho Republican party by Its the Cltlzon Publishing Company. I. R, IIAHDENIUIRnlt W. W, WOOD OCTOHEIt 30, 1I12. platform, principles or conduct ever denied human rights to any one? Are not the members of the Repub lican party as fully alive to the rights of human beings as the members of any other party In tho country? Do not depend upon what you read in partisan newspapers, 'but comparo tho Republicans whom you know personally with the men of any other party and then make up your mind. Has not practically all that has been done In this country In the last half century toward obtaining shorter hours of labor, better working con ditions for both men and women, abolition of child labor, and higher standards of living, 'been done by the Republican party? What right or reason have you to suppose that this party will suddenly turn traitor to its humanitarian principles of half a century and begin an era of human oppression? What right or reason have you to suppose that a new par ty, sprung up In a night, can or will carry on a better work for humanity than the party that has been doing that work for these many years, and that proposes In Its platform and by all of its principles to keep stead fastly at It? You do not need to go to a new party to promote humani tarlanlsm or social Justice. The new party promises you that it will de throne the bosses. This has been a party cry as long as any of you can remember. But have a care! lest you should take to yourselves new bosses whoso reign over you would bo more tyran nical than you imagine the reign to be of those whom you now style bosses. Aro you sure that tho men who are controlling the Progressive movement in the United States or In the State of Pennsylvania are not well adapted to the role of bosslsm! Do you like the idea of being under the political dominion of those who aro most active In the new party in Wayne county? Think It over! But the most important thing for you to consider Is what you will lose by deserting tho Republican national standard at this time. You will lose your standing as Republicans; that is certain. You will help to mako It possible to elect a Democratic presi dent. And If this happens, you must share the responsibility of such economic distress and disaster as will be pretty sure to follow a Democrat ic victory. Is It worth your while? Think It over! PROSPERITY OK I)ISASTEH WHICH? With plenty of employment at good wages, and the prlco of food stuffs falling in somo instances, In others about to fall, tho wage earner is just on the eve of garnering his harvest, and If tho existing condi tions aro not changed by a political upheaval, wo will see tho balance in tho savings banks growing in the next four years as never before. Wo have experimented In tho past with the tariff theories of our Dem ocratic friends. You will rocall as clearly as I do tho distress which followed tho pas sage of tho Wilson 'bill. Is thero not a certain significance in tho fact that It is another Wilson who would again subject us to such an experi ment? Wilson and prosperity aro words that refuse to go together In our American history. I cannot understand how any American voter can fail to see that by throwing away his vote on the third party, or by voting to put tho Democrats in power in tho White House and in Congress, ho Is as surely courting disaster as is tho small child playing with matches. William H. Taft. Wo would rather bo originators than Imitators. Following Tho Citi zen's announcement of last weok. Tho Herald camo out today and stated It too would flash tho election returns upon canvas. Everybody will rejoice at tho news that tho Colonel Ib recovering so rap idly that he will eoon bo strong enough to pledge himself not to ac cept a fourth term. Hartford Times. THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. If you have an opportunity to seo a Democratic newspaper these days, you cannot fall to bo Impressed with tho display of anxiety to make It appear that Democratic success Is not necessarily coincident with busi ness depression. It is because tho ovldcnco Is against our Democratic friends that they aro so touchy on tho subject of tho panic-producing' qualities of their party. Evidently tho peoplo arc thinking of this, and tho Demo cratic campaign managers aro hear ing of it. Try as they will .to becloud tho i issue, the damning fact stares tho Democrats squarely In tho face that tho success of their party has In-1 variably been accompanied by hard times and low prices, and that the! Democratic party to-day stands pledged to tho samo fallacious eco nomic doctrines that have made it a menace to tho prosperity of tho na tion in times past. A vote for Taft is a whole vote for continued prosperity. A vote for Wilson is a whole voto for tho empty dinner pall. A voto for Roosevelt Is half a vote for Wilson. Tho worklngman must make his choice between these three. If he casts cither a wholo vote or half a voto against good times, ho will have none but himself to blamo for tho consequences. THE BECKER VERDICT AND THE FUTURE. Rosenthal was killed foully and brutally and his death will be aveng ed. The Jury, sitting In tho case, against Police Lieutenant Becker'has decided that he was tho Instigator of the most horrible crime of the cen tury, connivance by hjeads of that part of a city government which pre serves tho peaco with denizens of the underworld to put out of the way a dangerous gambler. It has been a hard-fought case. There will be many who will doubt tho vir tue of the Jury's verdict. There will bo many more who will believe that it is entirely in accord with the testi mony that was presented. Becker was the man to profit by tho death of tho gambler. Tho corroborated stor ies of the gangmen who arranged for his putting away were so strong and so conclusive that thero seemed but one verdict. That the story was a "frame-up" to save the gangmen's own lives is tho one possibility that may, if unbroken, send an inno cent man to tho electric chair. Beck er is not entirely innocent in this matter, if he is not entirely guilty. But If Innocent of tho crime as charged, it should be learned just as quickly as possible. ' AINEY SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED. Thero are great Issues and inter ests affecting the rights of the peo plo entirely apart from the cholco of a chief executive. Some times in the heat of presi dential battles, thoughtless people are lead to overlook the fact that laws affecting the interests of the country aro not mado by the Presi dent but by Congress. Nor is It al ways seen that the office of Con gressman is in a sense more im portant to the peoplo than that of any other federal position, for It comes closer to them. The Congress man voices their wishes on tho floor of tho House, and to him they write concerning matters affecting their interests. It is his work which brings the district Into national prominence and consequent influence. In all of these respects tho duties of a Congressman in relation to his district furnish a consideration widely separated from every other national issue. The time has gone by when these great oilices aro to bo given out merely as a compliment to the good naturo of a candidate. Public of fice Involves tho duty and ability to perform public service, and tho pub lic will suffer loss If selection of candidates rests upon any other, basis than qualification. Hon. W. D. B. Alney has oven in his short service, and with the hand icapping of an incomplete term, fill ing a vacancy, with a single session out of three to his credit, proved his worth. By all tho considerations of common sense, business and politi cal foresight and ordinary prudence, ho should bo overwhelmingly re elected. THE POLITICIANS. By S. S. Robinson. 1 How kindly, and friendly aro most politicians, Before tho election takes place In tho fall; They glvo us most truly somo lino exhibitions Of great generosity, good chcor and all. They glvo you a hand-shako that really Is painful! Then pass you somo ''special" Havana cigars; (But if you should smolco them 'twould make you disdainful, You think you are going to dwell In tho store!) They talk of tho tariff, tho crops and tho weather And ask you to promlso to glvo them a boost, They want you to get all your good friends together, And help them win out and bo cock of the roost. With candor they toll you If they aro elected, They'll never bo bought or accept any graft, They'll do all tho work with the' of fice connected, And set things to right on tho old party raft. WANAMAKER PRAISES TAFT. ! Declares Even Those Who lllto- at Hint Cnn Trust llhn. Philadelphia, Oct. 29. John Wan-, amakcr today gave out a statement championing tho cbubo of President I Taft, addressed to "My 'frlonds of fifty years, tho men of the llttlo kingdom of commerce." Ho said In part: "In tho next four years thero are fronting us tho supremely vital Is sues of monetary affairs, tariff, trans- .. i r. . I I.. .1.. I I 1 I. Tl Canal; commerce and labor. "Which of tho threo men running for tho ofllco of President is best qualified to deal with these ques tions? Think of ltl "If changes aro to bo made, should they not be made with Infinite cau tion? Tho Constitution has been well tried and tins not been found wanting. Granting for argument's sake thnt Presidents Lincoln and Grant made mistakes, would the peo ple have voted them out at tho end of their first terra? If Taft has made mistakes, there have been ex tenuating circumstances for which ho was not wholly responsible. No one has dared to add guilt to any of tho President's errors. "Those who blto at Taft respect him and know they can trust him and that the risks of his continuance as tho Executive aro -Infinitesimal In comparison with tho probabilities from administration by either of tho other candidates. True lovo of country can afford to put away cal umny, venom and disappointments and act for the most certain good. "The man who for four years has stood silently under misinterpreta tion of acts ho was not wholly re sponsible for must have somo kingly stuff in him, though ho has not sought to become President on his own proclamation after tho nomina tion could not bo stolen away from him. "It takes a great soul to mako a great man. Thoro is nothing finer in humanity than capacity for loyal ty and devotion to duty when not always understood. "The tariff is purely a business question and it could, In my Judg ment, be well and wisely taken out of politics without disadvantage to any political party and with great benefit to the advancement of the commerce of tho country at home and abroad and the welfare of all the working classes on this side of tho ocean. "I venture to suggest that It would be a practical step to consider separating tho tariff and customs from tho heavily loaded Treasury Department and thus expedite tho customs business by creating a new department of qualified business men whose head shall be a Cabinet offi cer tho Secretary of Manufactures, Tariff and Customs who shall bo empowered to act, with tho approval of tho President and his Cabinet, to promote trade, negotiate new mar kets, reciprocities and new tariff rat ings to be reduced wherever and whenever possible without delays, always maintaining, before every thing else, the steadiness and en largement of home industries." EXCERPT FROM TAFT'S LETTER. Tho following extract Is taken from a letter of W. H. Taft to Hon. J. Hampton Moore, M. C, Philadel phia. It should be read by every voter. If we are to go on keeping our farmers busy and our workincmen ! employed, we ought not to experi ment with those legislative condi tions that have worked for the com mon good. We have been so close to tho danger point throughout the entiro Sixty-second Congress that I trust the efforts of the National Congressional Committeo may be so successful that Republican majority may bo returned to the House. It Is deplorable that the interference you refer to should have developed as against tho regular Republican nom inees selected by the people at the I primaries. In a great Industrial State like Pennsylvania, It would seem eminently fair that tho candi date who is chosen 'by a direct vote of the Republican rank and file at a primary election, held In accordance with the law, should have united party support. In a contest between Republicans who bellevo in protec tion, and Democrats who seek to tear it down, tho protectionist who votes for a third candidate is giving aid to the enemy. In effect, he votes for the Democrat. I trust Pennsylvania and all other Republican States will hold to their moorings. Thero is no Just reason why they should not. HOTELMEN OF STATE TAKE STAND AGAINST THE SALOONS. Williamsport, Oct. 20. Good roads, clubs and liquor licenses wore subjects to which tho members of tho Pennsylvania Stato Hotel association devoted their time at tho closing business session yesterday. Tho bonlfaces came out strongly In favor of good roads, passing a resolution of endorsement of tho state highway Improvements plan, Including tho proposed Issue of $50,000,000 of bonds for tho construction of modern highways. Tho resolution was offered by Geo. Tltlow, of Unlontown and went through without opposition. It wns argued that tho bills of faro at tho hotels have suffered from the In ability of farmers to got their pro duce to market at seasonable times and In good condition, and that Im proved highways would tend to bet tor tho bills of faro and lower prices. Tho growing business In tho accom modation of motoring guests was also used as a good roads argumont. On tho club question the hotel men urged tho enforcement of the provision of tho Brooks high llcenso law In respect to tho salo of liquor by clubs. A strong sentiment was manifested in tho convention looking to tho dlvorcomont of tho hotel busi ness from tho liquor traffic In sa loons.

Never were party lines so thor oughly smashed as this year. Peoplo aro alive to their Interests and will voto for men. In other words, vo ters are going to stop and consider, "Which candldato will Borvo my in terests best?" Mr. Jackson has already represent ed his county at Harrlsburg. The voters have had a chanco to Judge Mr. Jackson as a representative law maker. Ho Is now making promises of what he will do If re-elected. He promises to vote for tho direct elec tion of United States sonntors. But what is Mr. Jackson's past record in connection with this measure? Why Mr. Jackson fell in with tho "ma chlno" and voted against It at the last session. iMr. Jackson's change of front Is evidently mado to catch votes. Mr. Jackson also claims to 'favor free bridges over the Delaware. Hon. Leopold iFuerth did splendid work In tho Legislature to secure tho passage of bills to bring about free bridges, but did Mr. Jackson sten in his shoes and push the work to suc cess? On tho other hand the Inactiv ity of Mr. Jackson, in the belief of many, was the cause of tho failure of a project of great Interest to many citizens of Wayne county. An effort will be mado to secure free bridges at the coming session and It is up to the voters to decide which, Mr. Jack son or Mr. Spencer, can best serve their interests In this matter. Mr. Jackson Is parading through tho newspapers, a recommendation, signed by Alfred Marvin, representa tivo rrom Pike county. A recom mendation from this particular Pike county individual will carry no weight with Wayne county voters. Mr. Spencer Is without a political record. His life, however, has been one of activity and has been spent in Wayne county where all his acts havo come under observation. In politics he is a Progressive Demo crat and can be depended upon to support the progressive and reform measures now attracting the atten tion of tho people. He was born on a farm in Preston township and there grew to manhood. He was, for sixteen years, a High school teach er and for nine years an editor. This service has surely widened his experience, developed his powers and given him an Insight into human character, all of which are requisites of a successful lawmaker. The voters must choose between Mr. Spencer and Mr. Jackson when they vote for representative. ' The past record and characteristics of each man should be carefully consid ered before the final cholco Is made. Advertisement. LETTER FROM .MR. MARVlXl Matamoras, Pa. To the Voters of Wayne County, Gentlemen: I am advised that Hon. H. Clark Jackson, of Tyler Hill, your present Representative, is a candidate for re-election. Coming from adjoining counties, with a like constituency, led us In common paths and to form In the early part of last session a close personal friendship. Mr. Jackson Is one of tho 207 members constituting the -whole Houso. I cannot recall a single day's ses sion of ever looking back to his seat and he not being In It, attentive to his duties and to your Interests. He was held In high esteem by the whole Houso and a more Industrious faithful and impartial member It has not been my privilege to know in the six years that I havo represented Pike county. I do not 'believe he missed half a dozen roll calls out of the hundreds taken, and his voice was Invariably as his own conscience dictated and free from taint or suspicion He should be returned by you, for I doubt, from tho wholo county If you could choose a more faithful, conscientious and honest Representa tive than the Hon. H. Clark Jackson of Tyler Hill. Very respectfully, ALFRED MARVIN. Member Legislature from Pike Co. JUDGE GIVES HIS OPINION.
