TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1013.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Tho man whose geese lay golden
eggs is losing sleep now worrying
over the Income tax. Tho Country
Gentleman.
The appointment of General'Fred
orick W. Fleitz as attorney to Audi
tor General A. W. Powell and Treasurer-elect
Robert K. Young could not
be Improved upon. Mr. Fleitz has
been deputy general for twelve years
and Is thoroughly conversant -with
the departments. His experience
along this line is invaluable and he
will make a good official for the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE.
In Friday's issue of Tho Citizen
will be reproduced an article upon
corn testing and corn culture writ
ten by Robert Moulton for the "Rur
al Life," an interesting farm journal
printed in Rochester, N. Y. The
story will be strengthened by the re
production of a short article by J. J.
Koehler, superintendent of Wayne
county schools, who will recommend
to the boys of Wayne county to grow
corn and enter The Citizen's contest,
for which prizes in gold will be giv
en. The article will undoubtedly be
read with interest by people in
Honesdale and vicinity owing to tho
fact that Elmer E. Reynolds, who a
few years ago was connected with
the Wayne County Herald, is now
an associate editor upon "Rural
Life."
OPEX EAST STREET.
Now is the time for the Borough
Council to open' East street by pur
chasing the home of tho late Judge
Wilson. Tho Citizen has been au
thentically informed that the build
ing can now be obtained for a nomi
nal sum, but that action will have to
bo done quickly. The owners are
contemplating making repairs upon
the structure, but before doing so
they will consider selling. East
street should be opened and now is
the time it can be accomplished.
Value of real estate is advancing
with tho corresponding growth of
Honesdale. In a few years this prop
erty will be worth more. The
beauty of any street is spoiled by a
house located between two sections
or at the end of the street. We have
also been Informed that a certain
strip of land, located in what is now
East Street Extension, will revert to
Its owner if East street is not opened
within a short time, as tho time limit,
20 years, has almost expired. The
Citizen's parting salute to tho Bor
ough Council is to act now.
WHY NOT HAVE STATE AID FOR
ROADS?
On another page of this issue will
be found an account of what is be
ing done in the state legislature re
garding tho measure which will pro
vide funds for good road building
throughout tho State. The resolu
tion to amend tho Constitution to
permit the State to Issue bonds
amounting to $50,000,000 for the
construction of highways, is tho
measure now facing its final stage
in passage.
That this measure will bo a good
thing for tho State cannot be doubt
ed for a moment, because it means
that overy township in every coun
ty In the State will get its share of
state aid in tho building and main
taining of roads. What Is more nec
essary to the country, for its financial
and industrial advancement, than
the possession of good roads?
Tho measuro has been opposed
principally from a political stand
point and some newspapers havo
taken up tho cry that it will bo the
worst thing tho state ever had, and
that it will be a bad thing for tho
farmer.
But, why would it be bad for the
farmer? They do not come out and
say just why it is bad, but wo as
sume they mean that the farmer's
taxes will bo higher. Tho bond 1b
aue or loan will not increase the tax
one penny. But It will make It eas
ier for tho farmer to get his pro
duce to market over good passable
roads and in good season, That Is
ono ot the things it will do. An
other, that It will make their prop
erty values higher.
The Pennsylvania Motor Federa
tion have taken tho matter up and
will ask to have tho amendment sub
mitted to the people. Automobillsts
are highly In favor of it. There was
a time when the automobllist was
looked upon as an outlaw of the
road, tolerated on the highways sto
ply because the drivers of the horse
drawn vehicles could find no legal
excuse for keeping him off. Now,
however, with every other farmer the
owner of a car of some kind, and all
the rest saving their spare crop
money toward that end, conditions
are different. The farmer has be
come the autoist and he is interest
ed In everything that pertains to the
safety and convenience of motor
travel or any other kind of travel for
that matter. It Is because of these
facts that the farmer should be inter
ested in the passage of the bill soon
to come up which provides for state
aid in tho building of roads through
out the State.
CONSTABLES WILL BE AFFECT
ED BY THIS BILL.
A bill has been introduced in the
State Senate by Charles E. Mills, of
Athens, which, if passed, and proper
ly signed by the Governor, will affect
tho constables in every county in the
State and will provide that in the
future they will not be required to
make quarterly returns to the court.
As matters stand tho constables of
Wayne county are required to come
to Honesdale four times each year
and make returns of all violations
of law in their respective districts.
This Is a simple formality, for they
rarely have anything of importance
to report. The court generally gives
them a lecture and about all that the
quarterly report amounts to is to
give the constable holidays at the ex
pense of the county. If Mr. Mills'
bill is enacted it will be a saving to
Wayne county each year of several
thousand dollars. The bill provides
that constables are at all times to
make immediate returns to the dis
trict attornoy of any violations of
law In their district.
Under tho present law there might
bo a violation of the law in progress
at the nresent time in a
district but it might . cease
before the regular return day and
the result is that the matter never
reaches tho attenion of tho court.

'The Lusty Trout'
AND THE
Lusty Fishermen
BBBBBBBBBflflBflBBBBflBBBBflBflB
O! the gallant fisher's life,
It is the best of any:
'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,
And 'tis beloved by many.
Other joys
Aro but toys;
Only this,
Lawful Is;
For our skill
Breeds no 111,
But content and pleasure.

Tm e i 1 .
I trout Is now on in earnest.
It begins on April 15 and
ends on tho last of July,
both days inclusive. Brook
trout may only legally be taken in
this open period by means of a single
rod and lino which has attached to
it not more than three hooks. It
is also unlawful for any fisherman
to take more than forty brook trout
in any one day, and it is unlawful
to take trout under six inches in
length from tip of nose to tip of tail.
So there Is your law on tho subject,
and if you aro skillful enough to do
the trick, that is if there is enough
of the Indian In your makeup to
place you In a class cuter, and slyer,
and keener and quicker than a brook
trout, if you go Ashing whore they
aro, and take along sufllclent bait,
tho chances are you will get wet
feet, the grip and a few specimens
of the finest, gamiest little fish that
werb created "in the beginning" of
all things. Another item of consider
ablo importance is that you also may
catch a calling down from your bet
ter-half who "says things" when she
is feeding you boneset tea and soak
ing your weary feet In hot mustard'
water. She doesn't aDDreclate brook
trout flehlng, anyway. She couldn't
wade a stream, and she just natural
ly doesn't understand the charms
and delights of the whole business.
Better Trout Flslilng is Coming.
We like the sentiment and the
prospects of better things to come
as expressed in a recent editorial in
the Carbondale Leader which, for
the benefit of those of our readers
who enjoy an occasional fish break
fast, we re-produce, as follows:
" Trout fishing in the streams of
this state should in general bo bet
ter during the coming summer than
it has been in some years. Tho
ideas of leading trout fishermen as to
the method of stocking tho state
streams have at last been adopted
and while the system has not had
much time in which to work out and
demonstrate Its efficacy and may be
offset for a year or so by over-much
angling and perhaps illegal fishing,
results ought to be shown in a few
years.
" Tho new fish commissioner,
Nat. Buller, is now placing fingerling
trout and even trout of large sizes In
the streams. These in the course of
a season will be fairly good-sized
fish. Instead of putting fry that can
be cobbled up in schools by the
ducks and other acquatlc birds, that
will be the prey of predatory fish and
be washed away from their little
homes in the mouths of rivulets with
every little rise of water, larger fish
that know how to find their feed and
how to protect themselves and how
to hide and run when necessary aro
now being put in the stream. One
of these has more chance of surviving
than ten thousand of tho little fel
lows had.
" With a pursuance of this policy
it ought not be long before the
streams of this state should again
furnish a fair supply of the happy,
delicious brook trout."
Some Wnyno County Trout Streams.
Trout brooks are more plentiful in
Wayne county than is generally sup
posed. This is no news to the ex
pert anglers, but they are not giving
out the exact location of their favor
ite streams. They are apt to tell you
when you quiz them closely that
" there's a dandy stream out Beach
lake way," or over towards Salem,
or off In tho direction of Dutch
Flats, or up in Mount Pleasant,
about three or four miles from
Pleasant Mount. And there you are!
" Go to it," oh, you ambitious fisher
men. It is up to you to locate them.
They have an existence. All you
have to do Is to find them.
Talking about trout brings up an
old-time memory of the "cold
springs" once so plentiful near the
farm-houses of this county, and tho
fact that many of those sparkling
pools of water contained one or
more brook trout great big fellows,
no longer shy and timid, but tame
and trustful. If anybody in " dear
Old Wayne " has any big brook trout
in their springs nowadays they are
keeping mighty quiet about it.
Soino Wnyno County Fishermen.
It would be an Interesting feature
were a list of Wayne county's an
glers, especially those who love to
catch trout, published right here,
with a picture of each of the happy
bunch accompanying his name. Of
course such publication is out of the
question, and we must confine our
selves largely to Honesdale. Among
those who will be whipping Wayne
county waters to-day may be men
tioned: O. M. Spettigue,
Dr. C. R. Brady,
W. G. Blakney,
Frank Sherwood,
F. M. Fuller.
J. T. Brady,
J. N. Welch,
A. Grambs,
Dr. Buller,
Henry Menner,
O. M. Spettigue, Jr
Hon. A. T. Searle,
Rev. G. S. Wendell,
Prof. H. A. Oday,
E. C. Mumford,
Chas. Spencer.
Fred. Gelbert,
Chas. P. Searle,
F. W. Michels,
E. V. Coleman,
W. H. Hulslzer.
Now, The Citizen sincerely hopes
that every last ono of the above list,
and of the more extended list that
might bo gathered from Hawley,
from Waymart, from White Mills,
from Pleasant Mount, from tho Delaware-bounded
townships and from
the ,Pocono districts, will each get
his full share of fish, of adventure
and excitement, of goocUhoalth and
good-nature, and to all' such we
commend the following extract from
tho "Rural Sports," a lengthy poem
that was written by John Gay, an
English poet, long, long before our
grandfathers were born:
"When If or chance or hunger's pow
erful sway
Directs tho roving trout this fatal
way,
He greedily sucks in the twining
bait,
And tugs and nibbles the fallacious
meat.'1
