"RECOGNIZE CHINA," SAYS L JACKSON 'TELLS CITIZEN THAT UNITED STATES IS HERE TO REPUB LIOANIZE THE WORLD. China is n Great Field for American Goods Complete Ilnilrond Equlp nicnt Bear Stamp of 'the United States. Mr. Luia Jackson, Industrial com missioner of tho Erie railroad, 50 Church street, Now York City, was in Honesdalo on Friday In the Inter est of the Erie. "While in the Maple City, Mr. Jackson called at The Citi zen office where wo had a very pleas ant chat with him. Since his last visit to this place, two years ago, Mr. Jackson has boon abroad) having spent some time in China. Cliinn to Build 100,000 Miles of Road The Commissioner says that "China has at present only 5,000 miles of railway and that that vast republic, with 400,000,000 population, is talk ing of building 100,000 miles of rail road in China, and I am certain that this will be a paying investment from the very start. They will not have to do what we had to do In America build the railroads, and at the same time create the business for them; that is, in going through tho unpeopled prairies wo had to get the settlers that would give us the traffic (and for this enterprise we are now being hounded). The dense population- of China will give new railroads there an immediately profitable bus iness, as the country Is so well and thickly settled. "Everything is of American make on the South Manchuria railroad. It is 700 miles in length and Is entirely equipped with American material. Its rails, cars, including Pullman coaches, locomotives, etc., bear the stamp of the United States." China Should bo Recognized. "I believe," continued Mr. Jack son, "that the Republic of China should be recognized by us, at the earliest moment, not alone for trade, but because I think we are here to republicanlze the world." To show that Mr. Jackson's ideas aro entertained by other deep think ers along the line of advancement and progress we direct the reader's attention to the following news dis patch that appeared in the New York Sun of Sunday, April 13: CHINA SOON TO BE RECOGNIZED. Action "Will Follow Organization of tho Now Assembly., "Washington, April 12. Rec ognition of the present Govern ment of China by the 'United States will be practically auto matic as soon as tho new Chi- . jiese Assembly has adopted, its .-permanent organization, it was .to-day. Edward T. "Williams, secre tary of charge d'affaires of the American Legation at Pekin, Tias received from Secretary of .State Bryan full Instructions as to recognition and he will act without waiting for further word from "Washington as soon as the Assembly has met the re quired conditions. ' Tho Assembly was to have re convened fo-day, but no word of Its meeting has been receiv ed at Washington. It is expect ed that immediately upon their reconvening permanent organi zation of both houses will be ef fected and then recognition will follow. Thus far Brazil and Peru are the only nations which have re sponded favorably to President Wilson's Invitation to tho Gov ernments of the world to join . the United States In recogni tion of the new Government of China. It is not expected that any of the European Powers or Japan will depart from the un derstanding to which the United States was formerly a party, by which all were to act in concert in tho matter of recognizing tho Chinese republic. Another Great Field. "China uses American plumbing material and it Is therefore a great field for this class of work and its allied branches. Though manufac turing Is largely developed In this country, it still has an immense Held before It. Many industries aro now just about beginning to exploit their particular fields. We find the phono graph In every farmhouse through out tho East and West, yet wo find but few farmhouses equipped with bath tubs, hot and cold water, and sanitary plumbing. I could give numerous instances, but It will suffice to say that in this one instance of -sanitary plumbing alono the houses of mankind throughout the world open possibilities of a tremendous market." About Industrial "Work. Industrial Commissioner Jackson has been the lErie's valuable repre sentative for ten years, coming from tho St. Paul railroad as an attache of tho "Old Reliable." Mr. Jackson has given his undivided attention to industrial work for the past 20 years and has been instrumental in locating several large industries along the Erie railroad, In his Inter view Mr. Jackson said: "The Industrial department was established to focus industrial infor mation, and to advise with manu facturers of specific products as to suitable locations, to furnish them with current information of a comprehensive nature, dealing with tho project in its full relation to manufacture and commerce. The In dustrial department, in addition to giving Information to manufactur ers, keepB Us own railroad officials advised as to the resources of the territory, and, by having one offi cial center his attention on such re sources and, developments, -ana dis- BIGGEST EVENT OF THE TOWN OPENING OP NEW ELEVATOR PLANT TO TAKE PLACE ON APRIL 23. Invitations Sent to Town Ofllcinls, Bank Directors and Railroad Men to Bo Present A Good Time . Assured. At an executive meeting of the Greater Honesdalo Board of Trade held last Friday evening it was de cided to take steps toward changing the date of the opening of the now Gurnoy Electric Elevator works from April 23 until the 28th, or a day ear lier or later than the 23rd so as not to conflict with the" reopening of Texas No. 4 fire company's truck house. Tho date was originally set for the 28th of April, but was after wards changed by Mr. Gurney to the 23rd. A telegram was sent Mr. Gur ney explaining the situation and hnw the dates conflicted, but owing to the fact that invitations had been Bent out by the Gurney Electric Eleva tor company, Mr. Gurney deemed It unwise to change the date. It will, thosefore, take place a week from this coming Wednesday evening, April 23rd. Arrangements for this event, which promises to be next in en thusiasm to the trial trip of the Stourbridge Lion which occurred August 8, 1829, were discussed and plans formulated. A parade will take place In which automobiles will con vey visiting guests, town council men and borough officials. The Board of Trade, Business Men's As sociation, employees of tho Gurney Elevator Works and others will also participate and follow the band to the plant from the city hall. J. B. Nielsen was appointed chairman of the parade. The decoration of the plant and platform will also bo un der Mr. Nielsen's supervision. About 20 automobiles will be in the parade. Joe Katz was named to have supervision of these cars and ask the owners to kindly donate their use for the occasion. Board of Trade buttons, "All work for Great er Honesdale," will be sold by Honesdale's fair damsels at tho open ing. Every loyal citizen of the town should weaj a button. "BILLY" SUNDAY COMING TO SCRANTON. Rev. "Billy" Sunday, the evangel ist, who is conducting in Wllkes Barre one of the most forceful re ligious campaigns that this end of the state has ever seen, has accepted the call of the churches of Scranton to conduct a campaign in Scranton within a year. Rev. Mr. Sunday's ac ceptance of the call was made Friday to Rev. L. C. Murdock, D. D., dis trict superintendent of the 'Wyoming conference of the Methodist Episco pal church and chairman of the Min isterial association committee dele gated to invite the evangelist there. The date of the campaign has not yet been agreed upon, but it is ex pected that it will open in February, 1914, and will continue about seven weeks. Rev. Mr. Sunday is to con duct a campaign in Pittsburg, begin ning the first Sunday after next Christmas. semlnate information about them, all other officials secure a compre hensive grasp of the Industrial pos sibilities of the railroad as a whole. The general officers, with their num erous current duties, have not al ways the time to go into the merits or the methods of securing specific industries. It sometimes takes a year or two to bring about a certain development, and the matter has to bo followed up. "The Industrial department sees the territory in its entirety. It should be able to advise with manufacturers in relation to general matters con nected, with tho "economics of an in dustry, that is, tho raw material available; tho labor, the markets, etc. Every project must be judged individually. It would not do to put a common brick yard in New York, In the hope of selling common brick In Chicago, whereas, on tho other hand, a silk glove manufactory could prosper in any part of the United States where labor could be obtained. "In several railroads the indus trial department Is combined with that of the settlement and agricul tural departments, but speaking of an industrial department, such as that of the Erie Railroad, Its main object is to secure manufacturing plants, and tho factors that enter In to the location of such manufactur ing plants are: raw material, fuel, labor and markets. "About the time (a little over twenty years ago) that the InduB trial department, strictly appertain ing to manufacturing industries, was established, the railroad officials themselves know very little except In a general way about the natural re- sources of tho territory and their oconomio development. A few of the higher officials had a general knowledge of the natural resources, so had the divisional officials about their particular divisions, but there was no viewing the thing as a whole unless one happened to come In con tact with some higher official. Fur thermore, especially in the West, the higher officials of those days were concerned with questions pertaining to the expansion of their own lines." Tried to Land Gurney Works. It was no fault of Industrial Com missioner Luis Jackson that tho new Gurney Electric Elevator works were not located on the Erie railroad. Mr. Jackson left no stone unturned to secure this large plant, haying done everything in bis power to have it built alongside the Erie. When It was feared that the plant might leave Honesdale, Mr. Jackson was communicated with by the Board of Trade asking him to use his influence to have the industry to remain here, GETTYSBURG PLANS REACHING MATURITY PROGRAM FOR A GREAT GATH ERING IS TENTATIVELY OUTLINED. Mailing Out Circulars of Informa tion by tho Bushel Basket Col onel Hcitlcr is Busy President Wilson To Speak. An official circular of information for tho veterans who expect to at tend the celebration of the semi-centennial of tho Battle of Gettysburg has been issued by the Pennsylvania commission, outlining the tentative suggestions for the exercises at which tho men of tho Union and Con federates armies will unite for the first occasion celebration. A great camp has been arranged to care for 40,000 veterans, only veterans to be accommodated. This has been laid out by the quarter master's department of the United States army. The State of Pennsyl vania, which is the host, has con tracted with the McHugh Company, of Chicago, for the largest tent in the country for reunions. This tent, which was used at Altoona last fall during the exercises commemora tive of the semi-centennial of the war governors' conference, will be pitched on historic ground, near the camp, and will nccommodate 12,500 persons. The outline of the tentative pro gram is as follows: July 1 Veterans day, with exer cises under the direction of the Penn sylvania commission, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Con federate Veterans. July 2 Military day, under di rection of tho chief of staff of tho United States army, special detach ments of each arm of the regular army to participate. July 3 Civic day, under direction of the Governor, with addresses by Governors of various States. July 4 National day, the chief justice of the United States presid ing, with an oration by President Wilson In tho morning, laying of the corner-stone of the peace monu ment at noon and fireworks at night. The use of the tent for reunions and exercises by organizations must be arranged for before June 1 so that assignment of time can be made. The Keystone State will be host to the veterans at the celebration and the State will assign space in the camp by states, the commissioners of each state to subdivide the allott ment. The camp will be for veterans only, baggage being restricted to hand baggage. In order that veter ans may enjoy what has been ar ranged the State will require an au thentic credential from every veter an, either honorable discharge pa pers, pension certificate or certifl-4 cate of service either from the Gov ernor of his State", or from the War Department if a member of the reg ular army, from tho Navy Depart ment if a sailor or marine, or, a cer tificate of identification from a com mander of a post or camp of a Civil War veteran organization. Attention is called to the fact that while Pennsylvania will provide for the veterans in the camp, transpor tlon will be furnished by this state only to Pennsylvania veterans or vet erans now resident within tho state. Transportation of other veterans is a matter with their states. Colonel Lewis E. Beltler. secretary of the state commission, has urged in the circular that all veterans wear tho badges of their army, corps, di vision, brigade and society badges. ADVERTISED LETTERS.

Interesting Interview With Citizen Representative Snys City Manu facturers Would Save Money in Honesdale. When Luis Jackson, industrial commissioner of the Erie railroad was in Honesdale last Friday, he had an interview with the secretary of the Honesdale Board of Trade. While in conversation with Mr. Jack son the proposition of advertising Honesdale's advantages from a man ufacturing standpoint in the Brook lyn Eagle was advanced. Mr; Jack son said: "I do not have to think twice to give you an answer. I know of no better idea." Continu ing, Commissioner Jackson . said: "Brooklyn has hundreds of factories that have no sidetrack facilities, nor can they over got them there." Advertise in Boston. "Another great field Is Boston," said Mr. Jackson. "Advertise in Boston. It would also do an im mense amount of good as it reaches the New England states. In New England there are brass shops, ma chine shops and other works that aro now wrongly located on account of the distance from coal and raw materials. New England is awaken ing up to this. Her location as an industrial center for certain kinds of industries is now economically In correct. The industries started in the early days to compete with the world. In New England it Is too far distant to compete with the raw material copper, iron and steel. On top of this it is an immense distance from coal fields. New England has only one factor In her favor and that is the labor market. Mechanics have been working at places there for two and three generations and labor is the only thing that still holds them there. Good Conditions Exist in Honesdalo. "This labor market exists in the Honesdale district. In fact the dis trict of Honesdale, Carbondale, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre is des tined to bo one of the most popular in the United States. All good con ditions for manufacturing exist at iHonesdale. Nearness to raw ma terial, good homes for artisans, a lo cation to reach the principal mar kets of tho United States on quick time and in addition to this, near enough to the seaboard to supply the demands of the export trade. Savo Money by Manufacturing Here. "Figuring it in dollars and cents a manufacturer, who will thorough ly study this situation will find that he can cave thousands of dollars a year In manufacturing coBts, besides1 having all'the adventages df-civlliza-tlon." Mr. Jackson Instanced one Now England firm that had located somo few years ago on .the Erie that told him they were saving '$30,000 a year alone on their freight haul, having previously had to ship the raw ma terial Into New England and then the manufactured article back again. This saving covered practically a substantial dividend outside of their profits. Honesdalo Presents Profitable Lo cation. Mr. Jackson considers that for general manufacturing Honesdale presents a profitable location. He has great faith in our town and has already accomplished In a quiet, un-; ostentatious manner, many things for Honesdale. The Erie railroad, through Its In dustrial department, works in co operation with boards of trade and business men's associations for the purpose of developing the towns and cities locating along its lines. Re ferring to thiB territory, but not mentioning names, under the Indus trial department we find tho follow' ing: "The silk industry of America is largely located on the Erie rail road. The output of the mills of the United States is now equal to the output of the silk mills of France. The finest cut glass of all kinds, from ordinary tumblers up to the highest art pieces. Is now of dO' mestlc manufacture. Tho greater number of tho cut glass factories of America are located on tho Erie rail road, chiefly In Pennsylvania (mean ing Honesdalo and White Mills) ana New York states. REMAINS TRANSFERRED.

LATE JUDGE WILSON HONORED IN RESOLUTIONS MEMBERS OF WAYNE COUNTY BAR EULOGIZE HIM IN ADDRESSES. At Motion Court Tills Afternoon Resolution Committee Have Reso lutions Adopted Which Will be Put on Records of Court. To-day being the second Monday of the month and regular motion day, court convened at two o'clock with Judge Searle on tho bench. Regular motions were presented. The principal business of the court this afternoon was tho holding of Memorial services for tho late Judgo Wilson. According to a plan adopt ed some time ago, four members of the Wayne County Bar were appoint ed to draw up resolutions and tho same would bo considered at another meetlng.i The committee was com posed of Hon. A. T. Searle, Hon. C. A. McCarty, R. M. Stocker and Hom er Greene. The resolutions were read by Chas. A. McCarty "and were adopted as follows and will be made a part of the records of the courts of this county: Hon. Henry Wilson, a member of the bar of this county, died at his home in this county on the 3rd day of March, 1913, and in accordance with a long established custom, It was deemed proper that the surviving members spread upon the records of tnis court, luting resolutions re garding his life and his personal re lations with us. Judge Henry Wilson was born in October, 1834, and was consequent ly in tho 79th year of his age. He was admitted to the practice of law In the courts of this county In 1859 and has been an active practitioner before our courts from that time to the time of his death. As a lawyer. Judge Wilson stood high, not only at the bar of his own county, where the greater portion of ins lire work was done, but also in adjoining counties, where his ability was recognized and appreciated. He had a remarkable knowledno of history, ancient and modern, and his acquaintance with the writings of the classic authors, was in it self a liberal education, and laid tho roundation for that remarkable storo of legal knowledge which he had gar nered by years of study and appli cation. Judge Wilson, loved the law ns a profession, though he failed to accumulate from its practice tho pecuniary benefits which his abil ity as a lawyer would warrant. Among the strongest characteris tics of Mr. Wilson was his friendship that, when once formed was rarely Interrupted during his. life time. though ho sometimes was mistaken In the object of his friendship. He seemed to take particular inter est in assisting younger members oit the bar and not only granted valuable assistance when requested to do so, but often volunteered such service, when he saw the necessity for such assistance existing, and there are few members of the bar to-day who will not willingly attribute, at least some portion of his success to tho assistance received in his early prac Ice from Judge Wilson. While editing one of the county papers, during almost his entire pro- ressionai lire, lie never once used his paper to advance his own personal ends or ambitions. In many respects. ho may well be copied as an ideal model ror younger members of the bar in their afforts to attain ef ficiency in their profession, particu larly in his methods of mastering the underlying principles of the common law. Judge Wilson, at tho outbreak of the Civil war, volunteered his ser vices to the United States govern ment, and since its close, was deeply Interested In tho welfaro and happi ness of those who shared tho bur dens of that awful conflict. His ago, his length of service as a member of the bar, together with his affection ate disposition will entitle him to the endearing name which was voluntar ily' given to him, that of " Father of the Wayne County Bar." As a law yer, as a citizen and as a man, we mourn his loss, and appreciate his worth to tho members of the Bar of Wayne County. Mr. McCarty then addressed a few words to the assembled members of the bar In which he paid sincere tribute to the departed member of the bar. He also spoke of the late Judge Wilson's great friendship for his fellowmen and of the help he gave him when he was a struggling young lawyer. Hon. W. II. Dlmmlck was the next to respond with much praise for tho greatest lawyer Wayne county eyer had. Ho said that he had known Judgo Wilson fifty years and had been acquainted with him personally all that time and in hit, estimation the Judgo was one of the greatest and truest men that has ever made his home in Wayno county. Nearly all of the members of tho Wayne County Bar gave appropriate addresses. These testimonials by members of the profession of which the late Henry Wilson was a mem ber show the great respect with which all men regarded him and his name will always remain fresh In the memory of those who had any deal ings with him.
