FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1013.
President Wilson has recalled .his
decision not to accept an honorary
membership In the Chevy Chase
Country Club, of Washington. We
like the President's recall better
than his Initiative.
Undoubtedly Vincent Astor can
make himself of great use to the
community by experimenting with
Improvements In agriculture. Farm
ers are pretty conservative, and many
of them haven't much money that
they feel like risking in experiments.
But Mr. Astor would suffer no In
convenience If the results of his ex
periments should bo deferred two
or three years, or if some of them
should involve actual loss. But he
can prove the advantages of certain
methods of treating the soil; or par
ticular varieties of seed, or new
forms of cultivation, or Inventions in
fertilizers, and then farmers of small
means could afford to profit by his
experience. Mr. Astor's ambition is
a far, nobler one than that of a polo
player or an ornamental figure on
Eotten Row or tho Bois de'Boulogne.
INCOME TAX.
With the opening of the special
session of Congress Monday the
Democrats introduced their long
heralded bill revising the tariff. It
Is a measure designed to make good
their promise to the country to re
duce tho cost of living by removing
or sharply reducing the duties on
the necessaries of life and the pro
ducts controlled by the trusts. Urged
on by President JVilson, they havo
added to tho free list many of the
products that enter into the ordin
ary market basket and slashed the
duties on articles that contribute to
the warmth and comfort of the
worklngman and the average Ameri
can. The users of luxuries will find
no comfort In the new bill. They
have been called upon to assume a"
burden fully as large as that laid on
thorn by the present Payne-Aldrich
law, and in addition, tho man of
wealth Is summoned to contribute
more liberally than over to help re
move the burden of taxation on those
less able to bear it.
The loss in revenue through tho
cuts on the necessaries of life and
other items, amounting in all to
about $120,000,000, Is made up by
the Imposition of an income tax, the
first to bo proposed under the re
cently adopted amendment to tho
Federal constitution.
All persons having net Incomes
over $4,000 and also all firms and
corporations and partnerships with
an equal income will bo called on to
help make up this loss. The incomes
of the latter will be subject only to
a flat tax of one per cent., but In
dividuals will bo obliged to submit
to a tax of a graduated character,
increasing with the size of the income.
ARE YOU IN THE CLASS?
Look hero, you! 'If tho writer
hereof had a touring car or some
thing that he wouldn't use or
couldn't use, and wanted to sell it
for cash, he'd expect a pretty good
price for it; yes, he would, and he
would think the instrument of tor
ture he was trying to sell well worth
all he expected to get out of It.
But
Look here, once more! If tho
writer wanted to buy a touring car
or something, he'd , want to get it
for just about next to nothing. You
see, it is Just this way: Tho writer
la just human, that's all.
Maybe the reader isn't built that
way. Hands up, now, all you that
are In the same class.
DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS
The State Senate recently ratified
the proposed amendment to tho Fed
eral constitution providing for the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people. Tho State
Senate has long been abused for
Its consoTvatlveness, It is bo abused
today, yet its voto on this ultrapro
gresalve measure was unanimous. It
went through unopposed by pro
gressives, 'regulars or Democrats,
not because everybody who voted for
It were convinced that the new plan
would be an improvement over the
bid, but because the people want it.
Pennsylvania has done right in
yielding to this, popular demand. If
the voters insist upon choosing their
United States Senators in that way,
there can bo no questioning their
right to do so.
THAT MAIN STREET PAVE.
From one end of Wayne county to
the other, (wo came near writing,
"From Greenland's Icy mountains"),
there should go forth notes ot jo?,
for Main street In Honesdale is to
be paved.
Years ago, In the good old times
of the canal, they used to scrape the
bottom of tho canal once in a year
and dump on Main street. Tho re
sult was that, "when the Springtime
came, gentle Annie," the wagons
settled to their hubs in as soft and
black a mess as was ever called a
street, and when it frozo o' nights the
next morning as the wagons bumped
along over the frozen mountains of
black mud, the drivers could not be
at all blamed for clfanting sadly, oh,
so sadly,
"Rattle his bones
Over the stones!
He's only a pauper
Whom nobody owns!"
A brick pavement on Main street
will be one of the best Investments
Honesdale ever made. It will help
trade. It will advance tho worth as
well as the price of real estate in all
partd of tho borough. It will be a
stimulous to more work along tho
lines of pave and progress, and ono
of those clays Honesdale will Wlake
up some fine morning and realize
that she is one of the best paved
towns in the Keystone state.

preciation Received from Boy

The regular monthly meeting of
the Honesdale Business Men's Asso
ciation was held last Wednesday
evening In tho city hall with a large
representation present. An enthusi
astic session was had and consider
able Important business was trans
acted. In the absence of N. B. Spen
cer, who was called out of town, E.
B. Callaway was chosen secretary
pro tern. The minutes of tho last
meeting were read and approved,
after which Treasurer John Erk re
ported $125,19 in the treasury.
C. E. Bates, chairman of tho pic
nic commltteo reported progress.
A largo list of proposed new mem
bers was received and turned over
to the membership committee for ap
proval. A communication was read con
cerning a proposed act on Labor and
Industry, received from the House
of Representatives, Harrlsburg.
The following complimentary let
ter was received from Scout Master
E. G. Jenkins:
HONESDALE TROOP NO. 1
Boy Scouts of America,
Honesdale, Pa.
March 31, 1913.
The Honesdale Business Men's Assn.,
Honesdale, Pa.
Gentlemen:
At a recent meeting of the Hones
dale Troop of Boy Scouts 'an' unani
mous and enthusiastic resolution was
passed directing me to express to you
the appreciation of the Troop for
the rubber boots you havo so gener
ously supplied us.
The boys feel the responsibility
this gift Implies and wish to assure
you that they will not only diligently
and loyally look after tho comfort
of the firemen when needed but are
ready at all times to respond to any
call where services may be required.
Each lad to whom boots have been
awarded understands that they are
to bo used for public service only,
As Scout Master I wish to say that
your action will bear fruits you have
not thought of. You have publicly
recognized the desire of these boys
to do something for others. They
will deliver the goods.
All over this country men are
coming to have a deep Interest In
boys. The Scout movement simply
aims to give boys something worth
while to do. Teaches them co-operation
cpllectlvo and Individual ser
vice to others, ByeiySMuj; Must do
a good turn to some one, without
pay, every day.
I know personally nearly every
boy in Honesdale and let me' toll
you, there are no cleaner nor more
manly and trustworthy lads to be
found anywhere in this country. I
thank you for your faith in the boys
of my Troop.,
Yours very truly,
E. G. JENKINS,
Scout Master.
Thero Is a possibility of having
the stores of Honesdale closed every
night except Saturday. This was
the chief topic of discussion at
Wednesday night's session. Tho
fact that some stores are now clos
ed the year around, with the excep
tion of Saturday evenings, strength
ens the arugumeht of being closed
after six o'clock. The hardware
stores have experienced this for tho
past year or two and claim that they
would not go back to the old cus
tom. The matter of closing Mon
day evenings during the months of
July and August lead to a general
expression of closing all of the
stores the same as the hardware
houses are now doing. Monday
night closing will be taken up in de
tail in a future meeting of tho asso
ciation. In view of the fact that tho Busi
ness Men's Association and Board of
Trade are practically doing the same
work with the same force of work
ers, it was suggested that a consoli
dation of the two organizations be
made. Members claim that the man
ner in which they are conducted
there Is a double expense attached
to the operating of both and that
there is apparently a loss of energy
that could be saved and used In one
organization that might result in do
ing greater things and accomplishing
greater achievements. Both socle
ties have worked in a quiet way and
have accomplished things that will
be a benefit to Honesdale for time
to come. The proposition of con
solidating the two organizations will
be taken up in the near future by the
executive boards of both societies.
R. J. Murray, under the head of,
new business, reported that the Gur
ney Electric Elevator new plant ex
pects to be opened for public Inspec
tion on Wednesday evening, April
23, from 8 o'clock for about an hour,
after which speeches will be made
by town and county officials and
visiting gentlemen. An invitation
was extended to the Business Men's
Association by Mr. Murray to be in
attendance. Tho Borough council,
burgess, bank presidents, cashiers
and directors would be conveyed to
tho new works in automobiles, ac
companied by the band. Following
the inspection, which will be con7
ducted by employees of tho Gurney
Elevator company, and the literary
program, the evening will bo devot
ed to other pleasures which will be
provided for the occasion. Mr. Gur
ney, president of the new concern,
has kindly donated the use of the
new plant to the members of Hose
Company No. 1 to conduct a dance
the following evening after the open
ing. President Ham thanked Mr.
Murray for the Invitation and stated
that he would Instruct the secretary
to send written notices to the mem
bers of tho association to be present.
" THE HOUSE OF USNA" SUBJECT
OF READING SATURDAY'.
Saturday afternoon, according to
tho regular program, .Mrs. Salo
Frledewald will give an Interpreta
tion of "Tho House of Usna," which
was written by William Sharp under
the name of Fiona MacLeod. It Is
suggested that William Sharp may
have been the victim of what may
bo termed a multiple personality.
While under the spell of Fiona Mac
Leod, his creative genius takes a
turn for poetry and, " The House of
Usna" is one of his best works.
William Sharp Fiona MacLeod
was born in 1855, of Scottish parents.
He was educated in Scotland and
spent much of his time in the high
lands in the company of tho shep
herds. Ho went to London and as
sociated with such men of letters as
Rossettl, Browning, Meredith, Stod
dard and others. Here he was his
natural self, the critic, biographer
and essay and novel writer. Soon
after his marriage, and after an Ill
ness, the other sldo of his nature
asserted itself to Mrs. STiarp the
side of Fiona MacLeod. This dual
nature, however, was known only to
Mrs. Sharp, after his death in Sicily
in 1905 when, sho published "A
Life and Letters of William Sharp."
As a poet he never lost sight of a
desire to give expression to his vision
of the beauty of the world of the
meaning of life and its joys and sorrows.
VAUDEVILLE AX THE LYRIC.
A very good vaudeville show is on
at the Lyric for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings of this week,
with a matinee at 2:30 Saturday af
ternoon. Wilson and Rich, black
faco comedians, singers and dancers,
aro the favorites. They appeared here
a few seasons ago, taking part at that
time in the Amity Minstrels. Their
work is always of the most pleasing
kind and entirely different than up
on their last appearanco here. The
Great Romalno, the world's master
musician, is surely at homo with the
violin, in fact, he, it Is said, can al
most make a violin talk. Perhaps ono
of the funniest acts on the bill is that
of Kelly & Adams, refined Irish com
edy sketch artists. They also do
some very clever singing and danc
ing. America's greatest clown,
"Saulpaugh," does a wonderful
knock-about act. See him on the
rocking tables. This act is one big
laugh. Last but not least by all means
Is the screaming comedy sketch,
"The German Professor," by Andy
Amanns and Frances Hartley. Miss
Hartley Is most assuredly a very
beautiful woman. Two performances
will be given on Saturday night, at
6:30 and about 8:30.

OUIt SILK INDUSTRY;
The following communication has
been received by the local Board of
Trado from Ramsey Pougnot, secre
tary and treasurer of tho Silk Asso
ciation of America:
At a special meeting of the Penn
sylvania division of the Silk Associa
tion of America recently held, I was
directed to write to you in reference
to tho proposed radical changes in
the Labor Laws of your state.
I would call your attention to tho
fact that the capital approximately
Invested in your state is $50,000,000
the number of wage earners Is $40,
000, earnings $12,000,000 and the
total amount of money spent in your
state including the latter Is $66,
000,000 the value of products being
$62,000,000.
This great industry is in danger
of leaving your state If the proposed
Labor Laws which are now being pre
sented are passed. In tho Interests
of your city and people whom you
ropresent It Is absolutely necessary
that you should Immediately com
municate with your various members
urging them to pursuade tho Legisla
tors to pass reasonable laws and not
to drive this great industry to other
states.
Tho three most objectionable feat
ures in the proposed labor bill, that
should bo amended are, First To
make a uniform working week ..of
fifty-five hours instead of fifty hours
for women and forty-eight for min
ora. Second That the prosecutions
for Infringement of the proposed law
be In the hands only ot tho state fac
tory Inspector and his deputies.
Third That tho clause covering the
Issuing ot employment certificates be
Bomewhat modified so that the em
ployer would not bo held liable for
error made by the party issulns
such certificates as tho proposed law
provided in its present form.
I trust that you will realize the im
portance of this subject and give It
your immediate attention.
Appreciating tho courtesy of a
reply advising us to your action In
the matter, I am
Yours respectfully,
The Silk Association ot America.
