FRIDAY,
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Do not think of your own faults;
still less of others. In every person
that comes near you, look for what
is good and beautiful, honor it, re
joice In it, and, as you can, try to
imitate it. Your faults will drop off
like dead leaves when their time
comes. Ruskin.
If a man's soul does not enthuse
and inspire with the unfolding of
Nature at this time of the year, then
there's certainly something the mat
ter with him physiologically.
The name of A. Mitchell Palmer,
of Monroe county, has been an
nounced as a candidate for Demo
cratic governor of Pennsylvania.
Palmer would not make so bad a
chief executive after all if it were
possible for him to get the votes.
With Powell becoming auditor
general, to say nothing of R. K.
Young, of Tioga, as state treasurer,
it was not to be expected that the
Fllnn people would press strongly
for changing the condition of some
employes filling other jobs ex ofllcio
and they didn't. Result: Powell
will get $8,000 per year as auditor
general; military board commission
er, $G00; revenue commissioner,
$300; sinking fund commissioner,
$300. This is in addition to the
$1,500 which he receives for his ser
vices as senator for the session, al
though unofficial announcement was
made that he wouldn't take the last
senatorial payment of $300 be
cause it was not paid at the time he
resigned.
By the generous downpour of rain
that marked Tuesday afternoon, na
ture has given Honesdale a splendid
start In her "clean-up" week. Even
the very air, which had grown, dry
and sultry during the torrid weather
of the last week or two, was wash
ed clear and bright and fresh, and a
vast amount of dirt was removed
from the walks and swept into the
sewers. It is in the hidden places,
however, that the most vigorous
cleansing must be done if the best
results are to be achieved. Collars
must be cleared of all ashes and rub
bish; back yards must bo tidied up,
and everything done to remove the
sources of disease and contagion.
With such an excellent start there
should be much done before the
week is over.
Time Is not lost by Governor
John K. Tener in disposing of legis
lation sent to him and ho has ap
proved the Sheatz mothers' pension
act and the Showalter act providing
for vocational training In the public
schools. These bills are distinctly
Republican Organization measures,
so far as sponsorship and passage go.
It is doubtful If the most poorly
balanced "progressive" follower of
Fllnn could devise two bills of more
direct importance to society. Tho
one provides a means for taking
care of families which lose tho hus
band and father; the other provides
practical training of commercial and
economic value for school children.
While the Fllnnites have been voci
ferously demanding that tho Legisla
ture swing 'round to their way of
thinking and have been concentrat
ing thoir energies on such spectacu
lar legislation as election acts, labor
bills, constitutional revision, etc.,
the Republican Organization has
been holding off tho agitators with
one hand and with the other has
been accomplishing such good things
for the state at largo as the Sheatz
and Showalter bills.
AN EFFICIENT PUBLIC SERVANT.
Auditor General SIsson retired on
Monday from an office which he has
filled with rare ability and fidelity,
to resume practice of law in Erie.
Mr. SIsson has been a most painstak
ing and successful Auditor General
and the Republican party will ever
have occasion to bo proud of his rec
ord. Throughout his term, Mr. SIsson
has been almost constantly "on the
Job." Often ho would not leave Har
risburg for weeks at a time, and then

only for a week-end. He spent long
hours In his office and ho spared no
effort to bring his department to tho
highest point of efficiency.
Its reorganization by and for his
successor, Senator A. W. Powell, of
Glassport, Is no reflection upon Mr.
Slsson's methods.
The Senate gave Mr. Powell a
handsome send-off in recognition of
the prominent part he has taken in
its affairs. Although enumerated
with the Progressives of late, Mr.
Powell was elected on the regular
Republican ticket last year, as was
State Treasurer Young.
Not only is the new Auditor Gen
eral skilled In the gamo of politics,
forceful in debate and adroit in tho
handling of men, but he has had an
interesting army career and did good
work for the War Department in the
Philippines.
Mr. Slsson's administration has
been of a nature to put Mr. Powell
on his metal and we may expect him
to get out of the reorganization the
best there is in it. Harrisburg Tele

READER.
A member of tho editorial staff of
The Citizen has a lady friend, form
erly of Wayne county, but now liv
ing in Ohio, and he knew she and
her husband would like to read a
Wayne county newspaper, and sent
"The Citizen" to their address, ex
plaining in a letter, that it would bo
mailed to them for one year gratis.
After tho paper had been sent six
weeks, tho following letter was un
expectedly received at this office:
Cambridge, Ohio, May 3, 1013.
"The Citizen,"
Honesdale, Pa.
Dear Sirs:
Enclosed pleaso find check for
$1.50 for year's subscription to
"Citizen." We like the paper fine,
and do not wish It sent "gratis," for
how Is the newspaper man going to
live If we are all dead-heads?
Very truly yours,
Sure enough! We were amazed
to receive such a letter, for in this
age when people are looking for
something for nothing on every
hand, it surely is refreshing to And
an occasional exception who believes
that the truth has not entirely evap
orated from the good old saying that
" tho laborer Is worthy of his hire."
We publish this letter as an in
spiration to another class, of news
paper readers who act aggrieved
when a bill for subscription Is pre
sented to them, and wo trust that Its
publication will set them to think
ing along right lines.
As we may never receive another
such letter, we are placing the ori
ginal of tho above on file for futuro
reference in caso doubting Thomases
might want to examine it as a mat
ter of curiosity.
TO INCREASE CHURCH ATTEND
ANCE BY ADVERTISING.
Advertising church going In the
same manner as peoplo are urged
In advertisements to buy this and
that article of food, dress or other
convenience of necessity, is new and
some of the methods adopted have
been rather surprising. New York
laymen conducted a campaign with
flaring lights on Its Great White
Way. Philadelphia used tho news
papers In an effort to get men to go
to church. Just as tho big sign flash
ed along Broadway, so big scare head
lines flashed In Philadelphia news
papers, "Why not go to church?"
This was followed by such as:
"Thoughtful persons stand for tho
church, because the church stands
for the best things" and "Every non
attendanj; upon religious services vir
tually votes for tho elimination of
tho Institution from society."
There may be those who object to
treating church-going from tho ad
vertising stand-point and of conduct
ing a spiritual business In a way
that material and worldly businesses
aro conducted, but advertising does
not buy people to come to church.
It simply starts them thinking and
anything that starts people to think
ing along the right lines is to be en
couraged and promoted. Allontown
Morning Call.
JAP SITUATION
TOUCHES SOUTH
People Sympathize With Gall-
foniia In Her Trouble.
REASON FOR APPREHENSION
Men From Mikado's Empire Now Pos
sess 41.000 of the 1,000,000 Farms In
Great Coast State "It's a Race Prob
lem," Says House Leader Underwood,
"And There Can Be but One Result."
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, May 0. Special.
With 41,000 farms out of n 1,000,000
In California in possession of tho Japa
nese there is possible reason for ap
prehension on the part of tho people
of the Pacific coast as to what may
happen If there Is not a check upon
the acquisition of real estate by the
Japs.
It is evident that, while tho admin
istration Is doing everything possible
to prevent adverse legislation by Cal
ifornia, tho Callfornlans have the sym
pathy of tho southern people.
"It is a race question," said Leader
Underwood of the house. "We of the
south have a race question ourselves
and know that when racial differences
exist thnt there can bo only one re
sultone race will dominate, and in
this country it will bo the white race."
That is a fair sample of the way
southern peoplo look upon the question
which Is causing so much concerri'at
the present time.
Will Name Committees.
While tho senate is devoting timo to
the tariff, for a few weeks at least the
house ways and means committee will
get up a list of committees. The Dem
ocratic caucus has simplified the mat
ter to a great extent by decreeing that
committee chairmen shall not have
places on n dozen leading committees
and there shall be no doubling up of
Buch committees. When the commit
tees are named it Is expected that they
will take up some of the Important
bills which have been introduced.
Postage Changes.
It Is qulto possible that there will be
n change in postal rates, even under
the Democratic administration. Con
gress may be asked to establish a one
cent rate, which will menn an increase
of the second class rate on newspapers
and periodicals. I heard a member of
tho postofllce committee saying recent
ly that there "ought to bo an Increase
because tho papers have become so sen
sational, so unreliable and many times
so untruthful." There are other states
men who say the rate on periodicals
ought to bo increased becn&se there
has been so much muckraking. If
that view prevails to any great extent
tho Increase Is coming.
Adjectives and Adverbs.
Senator Myers of Montana took oc
casion to deny a newspaper statement
on the floor of the senate and never be
fore has tho senate heard so many ad
jectives and adverbs In such a short
speech. Myers strung them along one
after another until it seemed as If ho
had absorbed a largo number simply
for tho occasion. That newspaper story
was most thoroughly denied and repu
diated by the time ho concluded.
Cary For Reform.
Congressman Cary has started right
out on a career of reform and has In
troduced a string of bills to correct
many evils, most of them in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Cary would make
n lot of people sit up and take notice
In this capital, particularly tho public
service corporations and those who run
automobiles.
A Singular Conference.
Thoso who recall the early relations
between Senators Gnlllnger and Chan
dler when the latter was a member
of tho senate thought that the close
conference between them that took
place some time ago was very singular.
There was a time when they were de
cidedly antagonistic. Then senatorial
friends patched up a truce, which
seems to have held so far as personal
relations were concerned, but no ono
ever expected them to confer together.
Those who know are assured that it
was not in tho interest of Chandler's
candldato for tho presidency, Senator
La Follette, that tho conference took
place.
Advice to New Members.
Phil Campbell of Kansas, who has
become ono of tho Republican leaders,
was giving advice to tho new Demo
cratic members, incidentally chiding
them. IIo said they had not been ap
pointed on committees bocauso they
wore expected to voto "right" on tho
tariff bill.
"Ono or two men havo been telling
you what to do and how to do it. If
you are wiso you will do Just as you
aro told. How can you expect to get
committee assignments or name tho
postmasters In your districts if you
fall to deliver tho goods, to voto as
you aro told to voto?"
"Moving Slowly."
Senator Johnston of Alabama was
complaining about tho number of Re
publicans in office.
"But will that not bo remedied by
tho senator's president?" nsked Senator
Galllnger.
"I hope It will bo remedied," replied
tho Alabama senator, adding almost
plaintively, "But it seems to be going
along very slowly."
And the laughter was enough even
to be noted in tho senate proceedings).

KEEPING THE DEVIL AWAY.
Queer Relics of English Parson's Su
porstitious Zeal.
Some of tho more out of the way
parts of Cornwall, England, can offer
many singular sights to tho visitor.
None of these Is more curious, howev
er, than that which Is to bo Been In tho
small village of Veryau, In tho south
ern part of tho county, says tho Wide
World Magazine.
On each side of tho main roads
which load to tho group of cottages
clustered round the church there aro
to bo seen certain queer looking round
houses, each surmounted by a cross.
These cottages were built with tho ob
ject of keeptng tho devil out of the
vlllai?oI More than 100 years ago tho
vicar of the parish was a certain Mr.
Jeremiah Trlst, a parson who. scorns
to have been a most worthy man,
though curiously superstitious. In
spite of all his endeavors to make his
parishioners good, it seems thnt the
village folk did not improve very rap
idly, and he decided that something
must bo done to right mutters. Ac
cordingly, after much cogitation, tho
famous round bouses were built.
With these in position, protected by
their crosses, it was urged that tho
evil one would not dure to enter tho
village, and therefore all would be well
in Veryan. Whether tho good year's
hopes were realized, it is, unfortunate
ly, Impossible to say, but the houses
stand today as a singular instance of
an attempt to baffle tho powers of dark
ness. NAVY SEEKS "OLD SALTS."
Must Havo Veterans of Sail Days to
Rig the Niagara.
Search recently was begun by the
secretary of the navy for veteran
"salts" whoso service dates back to
the days when sails were tho princi
pal means of propulsion nnd who are
familiar with the old time methods of
rigging sailing vessels. Tho veterans
are wanted by thoso in charge of tho
Perry celebration of theono hundredth
anniversary of tho battle of Lako Erie
to rig the old brig Niagara, which was
recently raised from tho bottom of
Lako Erie.
Under the supervision of W. C. Mor
rison the Nlngara is being put in re
pair for the celebration, tho plan be
ing to restore as far as possible her
original appearance. She was used
by Commodore Oliver nazard Perry
as his flagship after tho Lawrence had
been rendered useless in tho famous
battle. She was allowed to wear out
in tho service Instead of being preserv
ed for futuro generations nnd was
finally condemned by a board of sur
vey in 1825 nnd soon afterward sank
in Misery bay.
