WEDNESDAY,
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
I have always believed that men In
their Innermost souls desire the high
est, bravest, finest things they can
"hear or see or feel in all the world.
Tell a man how he can increase his
income, and ho will be grateful to
you and soon forget you; but show
him the highest, most mysterious
things in his own soul and give him
the word which will convince him
that the finest things are really at
tainable, and he will love and follow
you always. David Grayson.
WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR?
To-day's issue of The Citizen is
dated January 1, 1913. What will
this year mean to us? Are we going
to drift along on Time's silvery tide,
or are we going to pull with might
and main and see who will reach the
goal of prosperity and success first?
Another wheel has been placed In
Father Time's great piece of me
chanism. In order that it shall run
smoothly and without friction great
care must be taken during 1913 to
keep it lubricated and in good run
ning order. In other words we
should endeavor to live the best lives
we can this year. If we have any
feeling of animosity toward our
ifrlends or neighbors, let us cast It
from us. Forget It. See how much
good we can do every day. Not wait
until Christmas and then heap all
our remembrances upon the poor or
give to charity only once during the
next twelve months, but give as oc
casion demands. Our churches, so
cieties, sewing guilds, missionary
bands and the like did untold good
last year to help the unfortunate.
This Is an incentive for us to do 'more
this year. The beggar on the street
needs your dime as does the heathen
in yondec clime.
MARKETING BY MAIL.
No other change inaugurated by
the Government has kindled such
lively and widespread interest as the
parcels post which goes into opera
tion to-day, says the Philadelphia
Press. It will bring the pro
ducer and consumer closer together.
It will permit marketing by mall.
It should reduce the cost of living.
The country producers of eggs,
butter, fruit and vegetables will bo
able to deal directly with tho city
consumer. Tho merchant will extend
ihis sales far into tho country, and the
country merchant, if ho has tho
goods, can increase and extend 'his
sales in the same manner, for Uncle
Sam Is no respecter of persons, but
will take all that is offered in prop
er shape for parcels post transporta
tion. It will take some time for this new
government business to get Into
smooth operation. The post office
employes have to learn their part of
the .business and tho public must
learn how to prepare goods for ship
ment. There aro many rules and
regulations. They have been pub
lished and will continuo to be pub
lished for the benefit of all con
cerned. Soon tho people will learn
just what the parcels post can do or
cannot do for them beneficially. This
government will learn by experience
how 'far tho law conies short and
Just where It needs amendment.
Tho now machinery will thus be
come adjusted, oiled and made fa
miliar and tho cheap and prompt
transportation of all sorts of parcels
up to eleven pounds will soon become
established and the people will be
ablo to shop and market from their
homes through tho United States
mails.
THE PASSING OF THE YEAR.
Time in tho abstract may be a
mere notion, as the .philosophers sug
gest; but It never comes as such to
human creatures. Rather is it
fraught with effects that render it
palpable to the senses, and mako its
motion felt. It sets up tho year to
Tevlow like tho hills on the back
ground of the horizon. Or, If we
pause after tearing tho last leaf
.from tho 1912 calondar tho feeling
Is kindred to that when engines aro
stopped aboard ship, and all tho pas
sengers awake In tho unwonted si
lence. Wo watch the year from green
ohoot to snowdrift, and are conscious
that suns and stars, mountains and
seas, aro growing old under the self
same change that weathers tho Pyra
mids, effaces the chisollings of obe
the Citizen Publishing Company.

lisks, removes ancient landmarks
and begets in us a strong persuasion
that wo can hear "the river of time
running through the night."
This cumulative power of Incon
siderable moments mounting to tre
mendous effect, as snowflakes bury
the landscape, or of Time as a whole
melting the ages like snowflakes
crumbling at some invisible touch,
lends our human day a twofold oper
ation. Each year is a room in Time's
mansion, given character by the
goods stored up within its opportun
ity. But we are also imade aware
that, like filaments of Ivy loosening
the mortared bricks, the .mansion it
self for each of us is .being Tapidly
eaten away. Happy the man who can
affirm the year past more lovely in
its decay than in its garish and un-
toned 'freshness.
The general features of an odd
year may be reviewed. For instance,
1912 has been a year of unparalleled
prosperity. The Time-spirit has stir
red up among us mighty question'
ings which are bound to issue in re
forms, perchance making this past
year a landmark in an era as rapid
and momentous In its mental and
moral influences as the bygono half
century 'has been in its literature, its
commercial enterprise, its wonderful
inventiveness and its national and in
ternatlonal correspondence. Thus
wo may rest assured that the year
just closed has added its quota to
human progress, to an Increased
sense of human dignity and the mut
ual duties and relationships between
man and man.
GUNS WERE NOT MADE TO PLAY
WITH.
The tragic death of Mazy Law
rence, seven-year-old daughter of
Frank Lawrence, of Lookout, who
was accidentally shot by her sixteen
year-old brother on Friday last, is
another lamentable case of "not
knowing that the gun was loaded."
There are more deaths from "un
loaded" guns and revolvers than
when it is positively known that the
weapons are loaded. The above is
only another instance of children
fooling with things that they have no
business with. Shot guns, revolvers,
flobert rifles and other weapons are
no playthings. They were never
manufactured to play with. We deem
it entirely unnecessary and out of
place for children or young men to
bo allowed to handle or use firearms
of any kind until they have arrived
at an age when they KNOW how to
manipulate them. A boy Is young
enough when he reaches his major
ity, is our opinion. When, oh when,
will the growing generation realize
how deadly aro guns, revolvers,
rifles, etc.? Not until tho legislature
enacts a law prohibiting the sale or
use of these firearms 'by children or
young people. But what about
tho gun or rovolver already in the
home? They should bo kept out of
the reach of children or irresponsi
ble perosns.
JOHN 1C. TENER.
It has become tho habit of the
Philadelphia North American and
certain journals that slimo in its re
flected glory and copy Its vindictive
editorials, to seize and create every
possible opportunity to hurl abuse at
the Governor of Pennsylvania. The
campaign against him at tho time of
his election was one of bitter person
al attack, and it has been consistent
ly continued during the two years of
his administration. While It Is true
that no predecessor of his has given
the state a better, wiser or more eco
nomical administration, and no
specific charge worthy of tho name,
has beon or can bo lodged against his
conduct of tho state's affairs, never
theless he has been unceasingly
hounded by the class of newspapers
above mentioned. The latest out
burst of malice, has as its founda
tion a recent speech delivered by tho
Governor in Philadelphia, In which
ho took occasion to remind his hear
ers that he is still the chief magis
trate of this commonwealth, and that
ho proposes to protect tho people of
tho state so far as it lies In his pow
er to do so, against any crude, ill
considered legislation that may bo
attempted zl tho coming session of
tho. legislature, having for its pur-
poso, not the benefit of, tho people of
the state, but tho political aggran
dizement of certain bosses' and
their servllo followers. That such
legislation Is to masquerade under
the guise, of Teform does not deceive
this clear-headed and absolutely In
dependent governor. Ho has served
public notice on the plotters that
when such proposed legislation is
Inimical to the interests of tho peo-'
plo it will bo thwarted, oven If the
veto power must be exercised to do
It. In this season of rejoicing, the
people of Pennsylvania should re
joice that they have at Harrisburg a
guardian of their rights who can
neither bo bought, brow-beaten nor
deceived.
8,000 MILES OF MAIN ROADS.
Harrisburg, Doc, 31. Notwith
standing tho fact that the State has
taken possession of 8,000 miles or
main roads In Pennsylvania, the ap
plications for State aid in the im
provement of othor roads continue
to a surprising extent. The State
Highway Department already has
scores of such applications in excess
of the avallablo funds, and many
more aro expected before next sum
mer. Under tho State-aid plan, as dis
tinctive 'from the regular State roads,
the local communities pay half the
expense of reconstruction, and the
fact that tho counties, boroughs and
townships are eager to do this be
yond tho financial ability of the de
partment to comply, Is regarded as
significant of the great demand of
the people for good roads.
The building of highways, main
and State-aid, as well as the repair
and maintenance work, has progress
ed to such a point that the next Leg
islature will find it necessary to be
liberal in .providing for road con
struction. From statements made
by committees visiting here and let
ters received at the Capitol tho de
mand for road Improvement Is not
only general but imperative, and to
comply with tho popular desire for
better roads tho operations for the
next two years must be on a more
extensive scale than ever. The fifty
million dollar loan appears to afford
the means of meeting tho demand for
roads. If the people approve of it
In case the next Legislature passes It
Anally, as seems probable now,
money will be available to build the
main -State highways, and tho com
monwealth can then afford to be lib
eral with appropriations for State
aid roads.
Popular Interest In better roads
Is growing constantly, and Pennsyl
vania must devise ways and means
to meet it within the next six
months.
WEDDING SERVICE OF 17 WORDS
Daughter of Late Robert Ingerso
Eth-
ical Culture Society Bride.
Now York, Dec. 31. Miss Maud R.
Ingersoll, daughter of Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll, the agnostic, who died
on July 21, 1890, was married by a
seventeen word service of the Ethical
Culture society to Wallace McLean
Probasco of Ohio.
The ceremony took place in tho liv
ing room of the bride's home at 117
East Twenty-flrst street, tho Rev. Dr.
John L. Elliot, assistant to Dr. Felix
Adler, head of the society, officiating.
Tho bride had no bridesmaids nor
flower girls and tho bridegroom was
unattended. They stood with clasped
hands in an alcove and listened to a
three minute nddress by Dr. Elliot on
the duties and responsibilities of the
marriage relation. Mr. Probasco then
took a plain gold band out of his pock
et and as he placed it on the finger of
his bride ho repeated the society's mar
riage ritual as follows:
"With this ring I thee wed In love
and truth for life till death do us
part."
That was all there was to it, but the
marriage was Just as binding as the
most long winded church service by
nn ordained minister of tho gospel, be
cause of a law enacted by tho New
York legislature giving the society the
right to perform tho marriage service.
Originally only Dr. Adler was per
mlted by the statutes to wed couples
after tho custom of the Ethical Cul
ture society. Tho law was amended
in 1002 permitting nn assistant leader
of tho society to olilclato at weddings.
Miss Ingersoll has long been a mem
ber of tho cult, and Mr. Probasco, who
Is nn Episcopalian, readily deferred to
her wishes for a simple wedding.
Tho bride was married in n traveling
tult. She Is tho last of Colonel Inger
loll's daughters to become a wife.
COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Dr. J. H. Smith is said to have
Invented a photographic printing pa
per capable of reproducing photo
graphs In natural colors from suit
able negatives. Wo must frankly
confess that wo do not as yet undor-
derstand Involved. Wo aro Informed
that tho paper is printed In the sun
for about two hours (longer in the
shade) in the usual manner, until It
acquires tho colors of the lato. The
colors are assumed without the appli
cation of any solutions or developing
agents. When tho print corresponds
with the original hue It Is taken out
of the frame and fixed to render the
dyes more permanent, and then
mounted as an ordinary photograph
It Is said that tho color prints ob
tained resemble oiled color prints.

and successful year the merchants of
Honcsdalo have ever enjoyed.
Tho dawn of the now era In busi
ness made its appearance to-day.
There is no reason to doubt why
this year Will not be as prosperous

Now that you havo discovered tho
most practical method of getting
customers to visit your store and re
ceive new trade thereby, whatever
else you do, don't lose the friendship
of the agency through which you
gained the acquaintance of theso
friends your advertisement. It is
your silent partner In business.
Advertising porperly written and
Judiciously used will always bring
results. Regular and spasmodic ad
vertisers know the value of placing Y
their ads in The Citizen. The man
agement of this paper would like to
see all spasmodic advertisers be
come regulars. Start tno new year
right. Be a progressive in advertis
ing and you will never know what
