FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1013.
HON. PERRY A. CLARK,
The Citizen extends bright and cheerful birthday greetings to Hon.
Perry A. Clark, president of the Herald Press Association, who on April
2 celebrated his 72 nd birthday. Mr. Clark Is one of Wayne county's most
prominent citizens and and it is doubtful that there Is a man in dear old
Wayne who does not know him personally or who has not done business
with him. Ho at one time served as an associate judge in the Wayne
county court. He is well versed in law, has a thorough understanding in
the principles of business, is well read and has made a success of life.
Mr. Clark is prominently identified with the Wayne County Farmers'
Mutual Fire Insurance company, having held the office of secretary since
its Incorporation, August 27, 1890.
The subject of this sketch has held a number of important and trusted
offices during his life. For nine consecutive years he served as deputy
sheriff under the following gentlemen: R. S. Dorin, John R. Ross and E.
M. Spencer. In the fall of 187G he was elected sheriff of Wayne county.
He also was chairman of the Democratic county committee for six years.
In Mr. Clark's younger days he taught several terms of school. He
is a member of Honesdale Lodgo, No. 218, Free and Accepted Masons and
a past master of the same. Mr. Clark also owns a fine farm at Clark's Cor
ners where for several years he held his residence. He was born in Car
bondnle April 2, 1842.
TIIOUailT FOR TO-DAY.
It Is astonishing what a lot of odd
minutes one can catch during the day
If one really sets about it. Dinah
II. Mulock.
One of our pet exchanges has done
some figuring and sums it all up
thus: "It is estimated that the ex
press companies have lost about 25
per cent, of their business since the
inauguration of the parcel post, but
this Is a comparatively small injury
when one considers to what extent
their feelings have been hurt."
Speaker Clark has given President
Wilson the opportunity of his politi
cal life to make a display of non
factionalism. Tho speaker has a can
didate for an office any office will
suit if the salary is right Col. Ed
ward A. Glenn of his homo county In
Missouri, who organized Illinois for
tho speaker for the presidential nom
ination in the primary campaign last
year and won the delegates. This
seems to be Col. Glenn's one claim
to fame and upon the gratitude of
the administration and if he doesn't
get something well, he won't get it,
that's all; but if tho President
doesn't reward tho friends of the
men who tried to keep the nomina
tion away from him how are they go
ing to bo rewarded?
YOUR NEXT SUMMER'S ICE RILL.
It is going to be larger than usual,
If you are so unfortunate as to live
in Scranton. If you are so fortunate
as to llvo in Honesdale you may not
have to go down in your jeans after
a larger roll than usual to satisfy the
Ice man's demands. We hope you
live In Honesdale.
The unfortunate part of the Ice
subject is that, while the ice men
claim they havo to boost prices be
cause of tho short season, the fact
remains that much ice was allowed
to go unharvested that might havo
been stored. This is notoriously the
case at Lako Ariel where the entire
crop was allowed to go to waste, des
pite the fact that plenty of help
might have been secured to do the
harvesting.
Ice is a necessity, and it is as cruel
and unjust to so manipulate the
prices as to make its use burdensome
to the consumer, as it is to "corner"
articles of food In order that those
who have them to sell may wax rich
at tho expense of a suffering public.
It Is announced that tho price for
small pieces in Scranton the coming
season will be a cent a pound,
which is certainly double what it
should cost. Furthermore, wo ven
ture the suggestion that the larger
the ice prices the smaller will be
come the chunks that are served out
from the Ice wagons to tho swelter
ing public.
CRIMINAL CAN REFORM, SAYS
BRANDON BOOTH.
Charles Brandon Booth, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Balllngton 'Booth, spoke
Sunday night in the Iramanuel Bap
tist church, Scranton, on tho results
accomplished by the Volunteers of
America. Speaking on the subject,
"Can a Criminal Mako Good?" Mr.
Booth, contended that tho criminal
could, and In proof of tho assertion
related an incident in connection
with a visit of his mother to an Ala
bama city somo years ago.
Mr. Booth said that his mother
was met at tho railroad station by" a
delegation of clergymen, who sug
gested that she, take a drlvo around
the city beforo she gave her address.
One of the town's leading citizens
was detailed to go as her escort.
They drove about chatting on com
mon place subjects. Finally on
their return towards tho hotel con
versation lagged and suddenly tho
man at her sido leaned forward and
laid his hand upon hers "You don't
remomber mo, Little Mother?" he
asked anxiously. "Tho last time you
saw me was In Sing Sing, in the pris
on chapel, where I took my stand in
one of your meetings."
" If the average person," remark
ed Mr. Booth, " had looked over the
1,600 men In that prison chapel that
day, ho would probably have picked
out ' thug, burglar, forger and so
on. Christ would havo said, " A
human soul! I gave up my king
dom for a soiil.' Yet It is not likely
that anyone else could haver selected
this man from the throng as one who
would yet be the leading business
man of a great city, tho owner of a
chain of stores, a man honored and
respected. I ask you, Can tho crimi
nal make good?"
FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING
BILL SIGNED.
The business men of Honesdale,
more especially those who signed
cards asking Hon. H. C. Jackson and
Senator Harvey Huffman to give the
fraudulent advertising bill their
hearty support in this legislature,
will be pleased to learn that Gover
nor J. K. Tener signed the bill last
week. It is now unlawful to make
false or misleading statements In ad
vertising in any "newspaper, periodi
cal, circular form, letter or other
publication published, distributed or
circulated in this Commonwealth."
Tho enactment of this law will no
doubt lead to a marked change in
tho advertising policy of somo mer
chants and in the character of the
advertising printed In some medi
ums circulated in Pennsylvania. It
will not, however, affect the policy
of merchants who have been using
The Citizen, or impose new stric
tures upon the censorship of Citizen
advertising. The law which now
governs every advertising medium
and every advertiser in the state has
long been an unwritten law govern
ing Citizen advertisers and adver
tising as a self-imposed restriction.
The value of Tho Citizen to its
advertising patrons Is traceable as
directly to its hold upon tho confi
dence of its readers as to their num
erical strength, their intelligence
and their financial capacity as buy
ers. They needed no law against ad
vertising frauds to uphold their con
fidence. Tho newspaper which pro
tected them against such Impositions
before fraudulent advertising was
outlawed will continue to wield a
greater Influence with them than
publications which become converts
to the cause of reliable advertising
only under the lash of primitive legislation.
HOTEL FOR IRVING CLIFF.
Tho possibilities for a summer
boarding hotel upon sightly and
beautiful Irving Cliff are good. The
property, which Is now for sale, is an
unequalled site for a building of this
kind and that a new hotel may be
built to replace the one burnt some
years ago Is gratifying news. It is
something that everyone of us with
tho welfare of Honesdale at heart
would like. We are going to shout
and continue shouting until every
man in town with a business, every
man in town who works for wnges,
in short every person who Is depend
ent In greater or less degree on tho
llfo of Honesdale for his prosperity,
will want a hotel that will fill the
bill and want It so badly that ho will
be willing to Invest just as far as his
capital or credit will carry him.
It is one of tho most Important
propositions that Honesdalo has
come to our notice since tho Cliff ho
tel was destroyed by fire. Another
summer should not bo permitted to
come and go (and it may be accom
plished this year) without positive
action being taken either by the
Board of Trade or the parties inter
ested In the sale of tho Cliff, toward
the building of a big new Honesdale
hotel to care for the summer busi
ness. (Messrs. Morgan and Weyrauch,
representatives of the Brooklyn
Dally Eagle, who" visited Honesdalo
a few days since and remained here
a few days, claimed that Irving Cliff
and the surrounding scenery wad
far ahead of other places that were
entertaining, thousands of summer
guests every season. Honesdalo has
a number of advantages over other
towns and although it is not entirely
dependent upon the revenue of sum
mer boarders, this business can and
should be cultivated. It is very evi
dent that If a town wishes
to have many guests it must be
easy of access, and pleasures,
for those who come. Now that
Honesdale has mado arrangements
for a Chautauqua It Is quite probable
that It will continue to have them
each succeeding year. This would
entertain a large assemblage for a
week. In addition to this Honesdale
has a first class theatre, good bands,
and many other attractions which
would attract and entertain. Be
sides these bathing, boating and'
fishing on Bunnell lake or climbing
hills and wandering along quiet
brooks would please others.
The hotel accommodations offered
in Honesdalo at present are inade
quate to take care of summer board
ers outside of regular transient
trade.
If no single individual can be
found to furnish tho necessary capi
tal, a stock company might be form
ed, and the business men of Hones
dalo subscribe to the stock. This
method has been adopted in many
towns. The business men have had
their troubles and may not care to
assume any more obligations at pres
ent. They at least want one first
class hotel In the town. City people
leaving for a vacation avoid all
towns without suitable hotel accom
modations and comforts. If they
cannot find them In 'Honesdalo they
will go elsewhere.
Modern , , improvements are all
right. A sower system is necessary if
Main street Is paved. The hew school
house is tiho of the best in the
country, but they all cost money
and increase the burden of taxation.
These expenses, theso taxes, have
to be met; and they can be met only
by Increasing our income. We must
enlarge our business; we must at
tract larger numbers of guests to our
doors. But to do this we muBt of
fer some inducements, chief of
which are comfortable hotel accom
modations. The hotel need not be
for summer only. There are a num
ber of people who go north to winter
resorts as well as those looking for
a place to spend their summer vaca
tion. Honesdale must attend to
these things if she is to hold her own
among other resort towns. Outside
of civic Improvements the most im
mediate and crying need of Hones
dalo is a first-class hotel on Irving
Cliff.
Honesdale has long had the repu
tation of making quality goods. It's
industries are varied and give em
ployment to native born citizens,
most of whom own their homes and
the majority of people have them
paid for. The Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade is planning to secure
other industries to locate here, even
though they are small. Small in
dustries will grow and before long
will become big manufacturing
plants. If you want to se.e Hones
dale grow, (and by the way it will
mean .more business for you,) you
lean give an expression to tho secre
tary of the Board of Trade when he
calls upon you for the purpose of
, boosting Honesdale industrially,

Spring Is hero. And of course you will need horses. We have
several matched teams of farm mares, both Iowa and native
horses. Wo also have some odd mares. We always have a stock
of horses on hand. The amount of business we do Is our best ad.
There Is a reason. They all like the Iowa horses. They have
shape and quality. And only cost a little more than the stall fed
horse.
WE ARE SELLING HARNESSES
A year's guarantee sells the goods.
Any change that you care to have, will be made for you. Ask
your neighbor who has that new harness if he Is satisfied. Let us
fit your horse with an Irish, Farmer's Irish, Boston Truck, Express
or a Sweeney Collar. Let us do the fitting and if it does not fit,
bring the collar back.
