President Taft's welcome in Phil adelphia showed onco moro that he Is far from a "down-and-outer," and that whatever the people may have thought of him as a President last November, they respect and admire Ihlm as a man. His speech at the Clover Club dinner, like his celebrat ed "swan song" In New York, prov ed again his rare good qualities as a loser. Mr. Taft is too big, too courageous and too able to remain long under a cloud of popular dis approval. UNEXPECTED ACQUIESCENCE (Although the indignation of Dem ocratic members of the Legislature over the resolution presented by Sen ator William E. Crow, of Fayette county, was not unexpected, it is de cidedly inconsistent. The Democrats professed to be lieve that much money was being wasted by the State in useless em ployes and in salaries out of all proportion to services rendered. They favored a commission on econ omy and efficiency to look into the whole matter and make a report. Senator Crow, -without waiting for them to formulate a plan of action, presented one of his own, which cov ers the situation completely. If it is the object of tho Demo crats to save money for the State, It should bo immaterial to them on whose motion action is taken. They should be rejoiced, not peeved, to find the majority members so ready, to lend their support to anything which promises greater efficiency and economy. "Credit for any group or individ ual Is not the main thing, under the Democratic declaration of, principles, hut the "welfare of the people," the "best interests of tho State," "econ omy and efficiency," without regard to personal advancement or glory. This being tho case, tho Demo crats should lend, not grudging, but enthusiastic, support to tho Crow resolution. Harrisburg Telegraph. SHALL LIQUOR Oil LAW RULE. For fifty years a certain measure has been before congress in some form or other. It has been side tracked and strangled and pickled and smothered and often left for dead. But it is still there, more Insistent than ever. In Its present form this measure Is known as tho Kenyon liquor bill. It is described in Its title as a "bill to prohibit Interstate commerce In intoxicating liquors in certain cases." The certoin cases are those in which any state has decreed under its police power that there shall bo no intoxicating liquor sold within its borders or within any part of its territory. All that the Kenyon bill asks is that in such cases the federal government shall not defeat tho will of the people of that state by forc ing tho stato to accept liquor ship ped from the outside. In a speech In the senate, defend ing his bill, Senator Kenyon set forth tho principle Involved as fol lows: "I am not concerned at all with the question of whether a state In tho exerclso of its police power might adopt a law prohibiting tho manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors. If It does so, It ought to be able to make tho law effective. If It adopts tho contrary policy, it should be permitted to makp that effective." Some time ago it was agreed that the bill should come to a vote In tho senato on January 20. But action has again "been deferred through the vermicular maneuvers of tho Mor mon Smoot. Smoot, next to Penrose is the ablest champion that tho foes of tho hill, tho law-defying liquor Interests, havo in tho senate. A very largo part of tho popula tion holleves that the sale should bo prohibited by law. Of thoso many are moved by moral reasons primar ily. They hold alcoholic liquor in abject horror and hurning hate as something endowed with tho power to wreck earthly happiness and to destroy man's Immortal soul itself. Other advocates of tho prohibition of the liquor trafflc base their posi tion on economic, social or scientific grounds. the Citizen Publishing Company. attho postofllco, Honesdale, Pa. E. h. HAltnnNBEIUHI W. W. WOOD On tho other hand, there is a large part of the population perhaps a majority who believe that tho sale of liquor should be permitted every where under restrictions. The most pronounced defenders of this propo sition aro those who believe the right to buy or sell liquor is an in herent American privilege, not to be abridged except for necessary ex cise regulations. Recent times reaching to the present have seen the greatest pro gress made by the forces ranged against the sale of liquor. Wo see tho growing knowledge of the dangerous character of this traf fic. Its record of devastation is a scar across tho face of civilization. The manhood It has wrecked, the homes It has ruined, the women it has wrung in hopeless sorrow and the other women It has hurled in nameless shame, tho children it has starved and murdered these are the witnesses against it. Speaking to tho liquor Interests, we say that the more they fight the Kenyon bill, which represents the will of the people, the moro It be hooves them to cast about to find some other business for their chil dren to follow. For as sure as light dispels darkness, the day is coming when tho country will bo awake to the truth that there Is nothing in liquor domination which Americans will tolerate if they hope to remain a nation of freo men and women. Philadelphia North American. PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE With the great Impetus given the past few years to the tilling of the soil through the Federal Govern ment in the Department of Agricul ture, the Stato boards, the special literature sent out, the newspapers devoting special departments to poultry, fruit, grain, etc., with the railroads sending out instruction trains, the formation of boys' clubs, Granges, institutes, etc., there has arisen a great demand for better ed ucational facilities, whero scientific and intensive farming may be stud led by tho youth, In a practical as well as theoretical form. Stato colleges have sprung up Into great popularity, and they are doiug a tremendous work for tho future, In teaching and turning out young men, that aro revolutionizing the obsolete methods and making grass and grain and fruit grow whero none grew he fore, or in doubling, trebling and quadrupling tho yield, through ap plying science and head work to till ing. President Sparks, of State College, in presenting his annual report to tho trustees, shows that there are 2,44 C students enrolled In the col lege this year, of whom 973 aro in the school of agriculture, 742 in en gineering, 1C3 in chemistry and 98 In mining. During the past ten years the number of students has Increas ed 400 per cent., the available state appropriation 72 per cent., and tho 'buildings 2S per cent. Owing to tho growth and lack of necessary funds the college has lost many valuable Instructors during the year. In or der to cut down tho number of stu dents, It was necessary last Fall and tho year previous, to make tho ad mission moro difficult by raising the standard of the examinations. The school has been unahlo to extend its work or to send out agricultural or good roads trains, or to meet tho actual needs of carrying on tho nec essary work as it should have been. Our people aro proud of tho work being dono by tho Stato College, and desire to have its usefulness extend ed, and its buildings and instructors added to amply meet all demands by an unlimited number of pupils. Sure ly with the great cash box of tho State overflowing, tho present Legis lature Is in position to nmply pro vide funds for all necessities of Stato College, and Its enlargement. As long as graft and politics are kept out of tho school management, tho taxpayers will heartily second tho greater appropriations asked of the Legislature by the trustees of the State College. Scranton Times. Frank M. Monaghan, an attorney of Scranton, was attending to busi ness hero Friday. PROSPERITY NEVER EQUALLED. iBaslng their estimates upon the materials Imported for manufactur ing purposes and upon tho movement of domestic materials from the points of production to tho factories, offi cials of tho Federal Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce havo arrived at the conclusion that Ameri ca's industrial prosperity for T912 was never before equaled In tho his tory of tho country. The verdict Is born out by all methods of measurements, national and local. One of the Philadelphia newspapers has a correspondent in vestigating conditions in various States. He writes from Chicago that a State street property has just toeen leased for ninety-nine years for $30,000 a front foot a rental which Is without precedent, even In Chi cago. In view of these facts, It seems little short of a crime for Demo cratic leaders and newspapers to be continually harping on tho dangers of a panic. If they keep it up long enough they may 'bo able to produce one, but it will he a panic with which Republican policies and the Republican Administration now closing will havo nothing to do. Republicans everywhere are exert ing themselves to the utmost to keep business in a proper frame of mind. The only panic talk one hears now adays comes from tho Democrats. A YEAR OF THIRTEEN MONTHS. An international conference was held In Switzerland for the consider ation of the adoption of a perpetual calendar. The change proposed would make the year consist of thir teen months of twenty-eight days each, making a total of 304 days a year. The day left over would not be counted In any month, but would precede January 1, and he called Now Year's Day. In leap year the extra day would not be counted In any month, hut would follow the last day of December. The new month would occur between June and July. As an illustration of how this would work in practice, let us be gin with the year 191C, which will commence on Saturday. This day In the now calendar would bo simply tho opening day of tho year; Sun day, would then be the first day of January. Each month in the year would have an equal number of days twenty-eight; the months and the weeks would always begin on Sun day and end on Saturday, so that any particular week-day of the month would fall on tho correspond ing day of the next and of each succeeding month. It would then not be necessary to have a calendar for each month, as the days of each month would be Identical with those of the first month. Harper's Week ly. I5IGELOW DECLARES PROBE IS WELCOMED. Harrisburg, Jan. 27. Anticipating the filing of charges of mismanage ment of the State Highway Depart ment and a request for an investi gation of the conduct of the office, State Highway Commissioner Bige low has announced that he Is pre pared to submit to the Legislature a, detailed report of his stewardship since his induction into office. Investigators have been at work for weeks probing tho department, and Flinn sympathizers have been predicting that damaging evidence will be submitted to justify their e mand for a probing commission. Commissioner Bigelow made his statement regarding his readiness to open up the books of his department following the Introduction In the House of a resolution by Horace C. Earner, Democrat, of Cumberland county, which was unanimously adopted. The resolution recites tho fact that no report has been mado to tho Legislature of tho work of the State Highway Commissioner since the last session of the general assemhly, and sets forth that largo sums of money have been spent by tho department and that a full knowledge of the work done is desirable In order that tho Legislature may bo enabled to consider intelligently legislative mat ters affecting the department. Then follows a call upon the com missioner for information covering all expenditures, the names of all contractors, the location of roads and other details, Including a full list of employes with salaries paid and ex penses of all kinds, including cost of materials. " I shall cheerfully give all tho in formation desired," said Chief Bige low, last evening, " and welcome any investigation of the administra tion of this department." While from tho Flinn camp come Intimations that an effort Is being made to forestall the attack which the Independents aro expected to make upon tho department, the ad ministration leaders say Chief Bige low is prepared to meet any movo that may be made against him.

By display ing your wares in The Citizen in an attractive stylo you can bring the purchaser direct to your store. Every day can be made a bargain day through tho parcel post. Direct connection between tho con sumer and the producer may be es tablished by this system. In Eng land the business possibilities of tho parcel post are well understood.

During an interview with N. R. Buller, Com missioner or msneries, relatlvo to tho establishing of a Stato Hatchery for tho Delaware Valley Water Shed be tween Bushklll and Lackawaxen, I drow from him tho following facts which may be of interest to tho read era of your paper: Mr. Buller Informs mo that the old hatcheries have to 'bo entirely reconstructed on now lines, incur ring a largo expense, for which ho expects to ask an Increased approp riation of $G5,000, from the Legis lature. Ho expects to confine his work to six hatcheries, the ono at Pleasant Mount, Wayne county, is whero he expects to furnish tho fish for our district. Hero ho expects to Increase tho output to a very great extent. Sixteon acres aro to be de veloped in ponds to give the fish tho proper growth, so that when they are planted, they will bo a'blo to take caro of themselves. From here he expects to supply tho adjoining counties with Trout, Bass, Wall-eyed Pike. At Bellefonte, Center county, will bo tho central distribution of the stato. This will bo enlarged and will bo used exclusively for Brook Trout, as will the ono at Corroy, Erie district. At Erie City an auxiliary hatchery will ho constructed exclusively for lako fish. Union City, Erie, there will ho also another auxiliary constructed for tho purpose of propagating lake fish. Tho llsh Industry of that lo cality for lake fish Is very large. Mr. Buller says that ho wants the State to take active measures In pur ifying tho streams and prevent adul teration. There aro now ton con stabularies or wardens to look after these Interests. He wants that num ber increased to thirty (30) and havo a careful report mado from each county of all pollution. For this ho expects from tho Legislation an ap propriation of $80,000, an increase of $50,000 'from tho present appro priation. At the present time he has plenty of trout and hass for planting, and la anxious to have the applications for their distribution as quckly as possible. MOTHERS MEET AT HIGH SCHOOL.
