TALKING FOR THE CITIZEN.
Know all men, and likewise all women and young folks In
general, that J. A. Collum, of Hawley, an old veteran of
the Civil War, has started out with his satchel of sample
copies of The Citizen, The Wayne Countean, the Tribune
Farmer, the Ladles' World and the big and elegant book of
"Home Songs" that ho Is offering iri combination the
wholo shooting match for only $3.00.
he tells you. Examine his samples
big combination.
Hawley has been very quiet this
Week. From a news standpoint there
has been " nothing doing." In fact,
on Wednesday It was so balmy, so
warm and so Springlike that every
body just felt like doing nothing and
letting it go at that.
One of the marks of distinguish
ment of the town is the big stone
smoke-stack on Keystone street
right in the rear of " Dick " Mur
phy's glass-cutting shop. It seems
but yesterday since that stack was
built, but if one began measuring it
by years he would find that it was
built either forty or forty-one years
ago. John Amos, father of 'Erasmus
and Homer and the late Wm. Ames,
laid the stones of that chimney, and
looked as ho worked away up in the
air.
" What are you building, John?"
was a common inquiry shouted from
the ground to the workman aloft.
The answer varied according to the
Ihumor of the builder. Mr. Ames was
apt to come back at tho questioner,
Yankee fashion, by asking them if
it didn't look like the Washington
monument. Nobody was told exact
ly what was contemplated until the
chimney was completed. Then the
Ames Brothers quickly built a grist
mill and began grinding grain.
The Ameses were always doing
funny little stunts like that.
As previously stated the tall stone
stack is a mark of dlstlnguishmcnt
for Hawley, and will continue to be
until the march of progress and im
provement shall hide it from sight, or
shall necessitate its removal.
Tho Kntz Ilrothers Aro
Not Coining to Hawley.
Just where tho story started that
the Katz Brothers, of Honesdale, had
bought two lots on Spring street, and
expect to build a branch of their un
derwear factory in Hawley is a mys
tery. The writer took the pains to
investigate the story, and the Katz's
Bay there is absolutely nothing in
story. They have not bought lots,
and have no intention of doing so.
They say they have all they can well
look after and care for in Hones
dale. Thomas Howell Bled on

'S POLICY
PRESIDENT ISSUES STERN LEC
TURE TO MEXICO AND OTHER
LATIN-AMERICAN COUNTRIES).
WARNS HUERTA AND CASTRO
Washington Has Had Rumors of Revo
lutionary Plot Involving Many Re
publicsTheme Before Cabinet, but
Document Prepared by President.
Washington, March 12. There la
.every' reason to think that a statement I
on the relations of the United States '
to Latin-America, written by President 1
Wilson and Issued by him after a
meeting of the Cabinet, has deep and
significant bearing on a concerted
movement In Central America, fost
ered by ex-President Castro of Vene
zuela, ex-Presldcnt Zelaya of Nicara
gua, and other malcontents who were
about to start a revolution intended to
Involve all, or nearly all, tho Central
American republics.
It is understood that this Govern
ment had trustworthy advices that rev
olutionary plans had been practically
formed, and it was felt by the Presi
dent and his advisers that unless ac
tion was taken by the Washington Ad
ministration, Central America would
soon be in a turmoil that might in
volve the United States In serious dif
ficulties with foreign nations.
The matter was discussed at a- meet
ing of the Cabinet, and It was decided
by tho President and his official ad
visers that a statement should be is
sued defining tho attitude of the' Wil
son Administration toward Central)
America. After tho meeting Proal
dent Wilson wrote out the statement
and directed that it be given to the'
press.
The President undoubtedly Issued'
his declaration chiefly for the purpoeo
of disabusing agitators of any notion
that the Tuft policies for the upholding
ot good government in those countries
would be repudiated.
But the statement has another im
portant significance. It is construed
as notice to the Huerta Government in
Mexico City that tho Unitod States
will not recognize it until has Itself
received the indorsement of the ma
jority, ot the people in Mexico in a
regular election.
Business Interests that have parti
cipated, la relations with Latin-American
countries are assured that they
will not be disregarded by the present
Administration.
Mr. Wilson asserts that ono of the
aims of his Administration will be to
promote trade relations between the
United States and Central and South
America. While promising that such
Interest in trade relationships shall
not Interfere, with the righta and lib
erties of the Latin-American coun
tries, the'bellef here is that the prac
tical application of tho Wilson policy
will result' lni the samo support to
legitimate commercial enterprise as
they have enjoyed under Republican
administrations in the last sixteen
years.

Washington. March 12. Announce
ment by Postmaater-Qoneral Burleson
that he intends to enforce the new
newspaper; publicity law resulted in aa
attempt la the Suprome Court of the
United States to restrain enforcement
ot the lawiuatll after tho court passes

Attorney Robert C. Morris, for tho
New York Journal of Commerce and

sociation,, applied for an injunction

stitutionality of the law.
