Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually prac ticed in our social intercourse, give greater charm to the character than the display of great talent and ac complishments. Kelty. Wo go on paying high insurance .rates rathes than take fire 'precau tions. The latter strike tho Ameri can as being expensive; tho former lie does not feel or else regards them as inevitable. In five years the fire losses in this country have consider ably exceeded a billion dollars. In only one of the five years was the loss less than $200,000,000. We have more lumber than Europeans have, and therefore there is more temptation to use 'cheap building materials; but the notable fact about these heavy fire losses is the amount of them that occur In cities where no wood is allowed as a primary structural material. Hotels and business blocks burn readily, partly on account of tho large amount of wood trimming in even a so-called fireproof building, and partly be cause wo do not, as a nation, main tain effective supervision. ENFRANCHISMEXT OF AVOMEN. A bill has been presented to the Senate by Hon. Archibald W. Pow ell, of Allegheny county, and to tho House by Hon. Frank H. Rockwell, of Tioga county, for tho submission to tho voters an amendment to the State Constitution enfranchising the Women of Pennsylvania. The bill has passed the third Toad ing In tho House. The stato of Pennsylvania has Just as noble men as tho nine states In which the women havo been en franchised, and when tho voters come to realize what an Injustice has been practiced upon woman by the fundamental law of tho State, making it a crime or disability to be a woman, they will arise In their manhood and take this foul blot off tho escutcheon of Pennsylvania and place their wives, mothers and sis ters at their sides politically. The state has trusted the foreign broth er, often Ignorant of our laws and institutions, freely with tho ballot; can it not as safely trust the native born American woman with tho franchise? FREE ROADS FOR THE FARMER. Thero seems to be considerable objection to tho passage of the' $50, 000,000 bond issue for road pur poses especially In tho agricultural districts. This opposition arises to a largo extent, no doubt, form tho fact that the people do not fully un derstand It. Tho bond Issuo will not impose any tax upon any Individual in the state, except stockholders In corporations. Thero Is now no Stato tax on real estate although many people Imagine that thero is. The expenses of tho Stato are borne almost exclusively by tho receipts from corporate tax ation and tho bond issue will be cared for In the same way. It will not cost a farmer in Wayne county or In tho Stato a single cent, but, on tho other hand, will glvo him most excellent roads to his county seat and to other places In his county. When tho people fully understand conditions and realize what they are receiving in return for tho expendl- the Citizen Publishing Company. E. B. IIAIIOENREROII W. W. WOOD ture of the imoney derived from the bond Issue we feel quite certain that they will regard this Important mat ter from an entirely different view point. Surely if the Commonwealth wants to come Into Wayne county and give us good roads with money paid into the State Treasury by the largo corporations of the State our people would be most foolish to of fer any objections by their votes. The bond issue should pass by all means. WILSON'S DISTRIBUTION PLUMS. OF Interest in New Jersey politics now centers In tho appointments to be made by Governor Wilson In the closing days of his administration there. Long lists of names fill the news columns of the papers. This man is to have such and such a berth for such and such a service to the President-elect. That man Is to get another office for another favor. After looking over the en tries we should judge that the re tiring Governor means to overlook nobody In this final distribution of plums. He will pay his personal debts in full, with tho funds of New Jersey, even as ho accepted the finan cial support of that State while cam paigning about the country for the Presidency. Wouldn't there be a roar of protest, If the New Jersey senate should refuse to confirm these appointments? But why shouldn't it, If tho United States Senate re fuses to confirm the ordinary rou tine appointments for the retiring President? I Mr. Taft has no personal debts to pay with offices. Nobody helped him into tho 'Presidency last fall. The only help he got was out of It and that carries no obligations. Ills appointments are merely designed for the best Interests of the govern mental machinery, which does not work smoothly unless all parts are properly manned. UNIFORM DIVORCE. Representative Shern, of Philadel phia, has Introduced Into the Legis lature the uniform divorce act rec ommended by the National Divorce Congress. Tho bill has attracted compara tively little attention, but it deals with a subject which Is of vital Im portance to society. Divorce Is an evil which must be recognized, but It Is Infinitely worse when It Is looked upon as a purely local matter. The marriage ties should be equally binding In every Stato of tho Union, and likewise, a legal severance of them should be valid In California as well as In Maine. Reno Is a blot upon the map. Marriage is a universal custom, as old as the race, and any connec tion of Stato laws, which declares a man and woman married In one State and not married in another, is discreditable to our common sense and an affront to decency. To exert ourselves in combatting the "social evil" seems to bo rather beside the point so long as, under conditions now existing, marriago It self may be an evil. HARRIS8URG LETTER To Hear Fuller Case. The impeachment charges brought against Judge Fuller, of Luzerne county, by Attorney Thomas D. Shea, of Nantlcoko, will bo heard by the houso special committee Wednesday evening, Feb. 19, at 7:30 o'clock. This was decided on at a meeting of the committee last week, Chairman John R. K. Scott said that an effort will bo made to dis pose of tho case promptly, though tho committee will go into every specification of misdemeanor In a thorough manner. Representative Samuel R. Scott, of Philadelphia. was made secretary and it was ar ranged to secure the services of an assistant sergeant-at-arms for tho serving of all processes in tho pro ceedlngs. .Mothers' Pension Killed. Enactment of any legislation on the subject of mothers' pensions this session was made Improbable by the action of tho house Judiciary gener al committee in agreeing to recom mend the bill to establish a commis sion was made Improbable last week by the action of the house Judiciary general committee In agreeing to . recommend the bill to establish a commission. These public hearings havo been announced: February 18, stato taxa tion bills; February 19, workmen's compensation or employers' liability, and February 20, hunters license bills. An effort made to secure unanim ous consent for the consideration of a resolution to put tho mercantile license law repealer on the calendar in spite of a negative resolution, but objections were made. Warriors ns Guests. Members of the House, In pa triotic mood, amended the Senate .resolution providing tor the trans portation of veterans to the celebra tion of the semi-centennial o'f the battle of Gettysburg at the battle field next July, to provide that all men who enlisted in Pennsylvania, in army, navy or marine corps, should be the guests of tho State. This would Include the men who en tered tho so-called emergency regi ments, and those who served on the seas. Tho members of Pennsylvania regiments and the Confederate vet erans in this State are already taken caTe of. When tho resolution came up Messrs. Mitchell, Erie, and Wlltbank of Philadelphia, moved to 'make changes, and half an hour was oc- UUjMCU 111 UIOliUOOluili b... u. i which Mr. Allen, .while the members whistled "Marching Through Geor-j gia," drafted an amendment which ' took care of everyone wno mignt havo a claim to having been a Penn sylvania soldier or sailor. The resolution goes to the Senate for concurrence in tho amendment. CORPORATION TAXES MUST BE PAID SOOX Corporations in the Ninth District I of Pennsylvania whose returns of annual net incomo have not yet been made are again reminded by Collector H. L. Hershey, of Lancas ter, that the returns must be In his hands on or beforo March 1st, 1913. The penalty fixed by law for failure to make the return within the prop er time is from $1,000 to $10,000. The Ninth district is composed of the following counties: Adams, Bedford, Blair, Bradford, Carbon, Center, Clinton, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Hunting don, Juniata, Lackawanna, Lancas ter, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, Mifflin, Monroe, Montour, North ampton, Northumberland, Perry, Pike, Potter. Snyder, Sullivan. Sus quehanna, Tioga, Union, Wayne, Wyoming and York. Within this territory are located 4,500 corporations. Of these only about 1,000 have thus far made re turns. Collector Hershey regrets the laxity with which this matter has been treated so far. and urges a prompt compliance with the law In order that the returns may bo ex amined and tabulated in ample time. He is very desirous that not one cor noratlon shall render Itself liable to the penalty through failure to make this return by March 1st. The law inflicting this penalty is mandatory, and will be enforced. No officer of the government has power to remit. A CRUSADE AGAINST RATS. Not long ago tho newspapers told of a campaign against rats begun by tho citizens of a certain town. They determined utterly to destroy this pest. The idea was a splendid one. Every town in Pennsylvania would do well to adopt It. The rat is one of the greatest menaces to the public health. Tho common brown or Norway rat Infests our towns and cities by the millions. Aside from great damage which it does to property, it carries with it germs of many dis eases. It Inhabits sewers and dump heaps of all kinds. 'No one knows to what extent tho rat Is responsible for many epidemics which spring up from time to time. It has been proven to bo an active agent In the spread of the Bubonic plague, his torically called tho black death. Rats are susceptible to a disease which very much resembles leprosy. They carry numerous internal para sites. Among these are tho trichina or flesh worm, which Is the cause of trichinosis. It is said that this dis ease will never bo eradicated from man until all rats and mice have practically been destroyed. To rid your homo and your town of rats will moan the saving of lives and property. Tho rat Is a filthy disease carrying animal and a cam paign against it will be decidedly worth while.

The management of the Rink has succeeded in getting tho Maplo City Five together again, and tho first basket ball game since Christmas will be played at the Rink with Seelyvllle on Wednesday evening. While it seems a little late in the season to start up basket ball, thero Is good prospects of several local games which no doubt will be the only kind that will pay at this sea son. The G. C. club, Texas No. 4 and Hawley and White Mills all havo good teams and these with one or two outside teams to help out, will be enough to finish the season, PORFIRIO DIAZ Senor Escandon, a prominent Mexican politician, who held a high ofllce during the Diaz regime, Bald In an Interview that It was possible that all former friends of General Diaz would return to Mexico and would ask tho old general to return In order to pacify the country. Senor Diaz, who Is the undo of General Felix Diaz, head of tho revolt against Madero, Is now In Europe. It Is generally believed he will not return to assume charge of affairs In his troubled country In view of his advanced age. He Is In his eighty third year. GREAT WAVES POUND LINERS. Sailor, Demented, Dives Into Storm Swept Ocean. New York, Feb. 17. With one sailor lost at sea In a terrific storm which de layed tho vessel twenty-four hours, the steamship Baltic of tho White Star line arrived in New York badly batter ed by the gale. The Kalscrln Auguste Victoria of tho Hamburg-American lino, and the Provence of the French line arrived just ahead of tho Baltic also reporting heavy storms encounter ed In inidocean, in which they were severely shaken by the waves.
