SATURDAY FLAG DAY.
Saturday, June 14th, is flag day.
In honor of the Stars and Stripes
every citizen who has a flag in his
possession is requested to unfurl tho
starry banner to the breezes on Sat
urday of this week. It is the 136th
anniversary of the adoption of the
flag of the United States. That it be
displayed is the request of tho Presi
dent of tho United States, the Gov
ernors of the different States of the
Union, mayors and chief burgesses
of the cities and towns. The day set
apart for its annual observance has
been fixed for the 14 th of June. Un
furl the star-spangled banner to the
breeze June 14th!
CONCERNING MAIN STREET'S
PAVE.
That Hain street will be paved is
no "dream," although this assertion
has been made by parties who evi
dently do not have the faith in mat
ters developing. It is coming, never
theless, and like tho trolley road,
it cannot come too quickly. The
bond issue of $09,000 represents the
entire amount, including the trolley's
proportion, the State's share, the
abutting property owner's proportion
and the town's allotment. In reality
tho town's increased indebtedness
-will be only ?14,000. Before tho
State will do any work or give any
aid to assist paving Main street the
whole amount has to be provided for,
thus provision for ?G9,000 bond is
sue as mentioned in the borough
ordinance.
In view of the fact that If the
town paves this summer or fall it
will receive ?17,000 from the State,
whereas if not taken advantage of by
March 1st, 1914, this snug sum will
have been lost until a period of per
haps from two to four years, it
therefore behooves tho public to take
advantage of this opportunity and
vote for pave July 11th at tho spec
ial election.
This is the opportune time for
paving and with the aid of tho State
and Wayne County Railway company
it Is doubtful if a similar opportunity
will be afforded in several years to
come.
Another feature which Is worthy
of the consideration of tho taxpay
er is the fact that tho State Highway
department will stand the expense of
all preliminary work, such as survey
ing, making of drafts and the ap
pointment of an inspector while the
paving is being done.
This will save the town between
$3,000 and '$4,000, which necessarily
would have to bo paid as outside ex
pense if the State's proportion were
not taken advantage of. The State
department will build tho entire road
for the town. It is therefore neces
sary to call for tho entire bond issue
at the Btart, which Is fully explained
In the first paragraph of this editor
ial. The Citizen has always been in fa
vor of paving and will from tlmo to
time print articles explaining the
advantages to bo obtained by grasp
ing tho opportunity of paving now.
This journal hopes that when July
11th will have arrived that the peo
ple of tho town will be so enthusias
tic that they can hardly wait to vote
for pave, Our prediction is that it
will go through with flying colors,
SENATOR PENROSE IN SCRANTON
On Thursday night, Juno 5, Scran
ton and north-eastern Pennsylvania
"were honored by a visit from Penn
sylvania's United States Senator,
Boies Penrose, the occasion being the
ninth annual dinner of the Scranton
Chapter of the American Institute of
Banking.
Wayne county was represented at
the dinner by tho following represent
tatlves! Judge A. T. Searle, Henry Z
Russell, L. A. Howell, P. W. Krelt-
w. w. wood
ner and C. A. Emery, of Honesdale;
V. A. Decker, of Hawley, and M. J.
Emery, of Ariel. There were about
300 guests at the dinner, which was
held at Hotel Casey.
The spirit of the event was caught
by Steinke, the artist of the Tribune'
Republican, who represented the
gathering as being that of a great
man with a kindly face talking to
other men. Senator Penrose wanted
it distinctly understood that there
was no spirit of political party antag
onism in his coming to Scranton, and
assured Bull Moosers they' were as
warmly welcomed at the gathering
as were those who did not see mat
ters political exactly as the men with
tho wide-spreading horns saw them.
Senator Penrose delivered a splen
did address. He complimented the
bankers of North-eastern Pennsyl
vania in the highest terms, and re
cited most impressively the heroism
of banker Robert Morris in the Rev
olutionary War, of Jay Cooke in tho
Civil War, and of other bankers who
have shown the true spirit of patriot
ism and loyalty in national crises
that have tried the souls of our citi
zens. The Senator concluded his ad
dress as follows: "No armies on the
field, no statesmen in the legislative
halls deserve a more patriotic record
in tho history of the United States
than the bankers of Pennsylvania."
The conclusion of tho Senator's
address left those who heard It im
pressed with the force and power of
Robert C. Wlnthrop's true descrip
tion of the right kind of patriotism,
tho kind in which "There are no
points of the compass on the chart."
THE NEAR-LOBBYIST.
Nobody charges that there Is in
tent back of it, but Senator Town
send, of Michigan, created something
of a sensation on Friday last in the
Senate's lobby investigation, by de
claring that the Influence wielded by
President Wilson and by tho Demo
cratic secret caucus upon the mak
ing of the tariff bill constituted the
" nearest approach to undue In
fluence upon members of congress "
that the investigating committee
would be able to And.
Senator Townsend further criti
cized the committee for not having
asked members of the senate wheth
er the president had sought to in
fluence them, and declared that even
though tho president had not Intend
ed it, his recent denunciation of
"lobbies" working In support of
changes in the tariff would force cer
tain senators to vote against amend
ments they knew to be just.
As tho time limit for the investiga
tion has been extended 20 days, ex
piring on June 28, indications al
ready are pointing to real torrid
times.
Senator Townsend Is not alono in
his opinion as touching the effect of
President Wilson's attitude on tho
subject in its Influence on tho votes
of Senators'. For instance, Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts, also a Re
publican, following Senator Town
send on tho stand, expressed tho
opinion that executives' had had moro
Influence on bills than all tho per
sons who havo come to Washington,
put together.
It will bo noted that Senator
Townsend's statements in relation to
President Wilson wero not In tho
form of charges. He expressly said
he did not charge tho president with
using Improper methods; but he in
sisted that the charges that lobbies
existed and tho activity of the presi
dent in support of free wool and free
sugar amounted to an "undue influ
ence," even though ho did not use
the "big stick" of patronage.
In other words, it is possible, com
paratively speaking, to rob a man
without knocking him senseless with
a bludgeon. Indeed, there might be
circumstances where one might even
allow the robbery to proceed without
raising tho voice In protest,, concur
ring In tho opinion that "discretion is
tho better part ol valor."
In tho meantime, the progress of
tho Investigation will be . regarded
with increasing Interest, inasmuch
as, according to a motion mado by
Senator WalBh, It was agreed "that
in. view of the serious statements
mado touching the executive, any
senator who has already testified
may be recalled and Interrogated In
reference thereto."
K. B HAKDENBEBOII
BEATING THE DEVIL ABOUT THE
STUMP.
A prominent feature in the plans
to rehabilitate the Republican party
Is tho proposition to baso representa
tion In the National Convention on
the Republican Vote of the respective
states instead of on their population.
Southern Republican politicians
are frankly opposed to this proposi
tion which Is directly aimed at re
ducing their power. Tho present sys
tem of basing representation in the
National convention on total (negro
plus white) population, allows South
ern Republican leaders to use the
negro to swell their number of dele
gates to the convention, and later on
to disfranchise him at the pollia.
Certain Northern Republican poli
ticians liked the new proposition in
so far as it works toward giving
them the upper hand over the South
but they are in a quandry how to pre
vent tho new system from giving
an advantage to those states which
havo enfranchised their women.
A prominent Pennsylvania news
paper editor makes this dolefui sup
position: "Suppose Ohio should
adopt Woman Suffrage and Pennsyl
vania should reject it. In that case
Ohio would probably cast about
300,000 more Republican votes than
Pennsylvania and would therefore,
under the new, system, have a pro
portionately larger representation in
the National convention. The ban-
ner Republican State would not
have tho proportionate weight in the
convention that It is fairly entitled
to, but would have to take a place
below that of a state nowhere near
so dependable In support of the
ticket." "How to get a square deal
without giving one" seems to bo
puzzling the politicians. If the ban
ner Republican state should refuse
to trust her women, doesn't she de
serve to have to take a "back seat?"
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
"I earn what I eat, get what
wear, owe no man hate, envy no
man's happiness; glad of other men's
good, content with my Harm."
Shakespeare.
Some Citizens We Greet
"There's a chiel amang ye tak'In'
notes
An faith he'll prent it."
DU1UH.
George Yousko is tho name of a
citizen whom we trust we shall greet
in tho months and years to come in
Wayno county. . His name is 'a. new
one, and he is a new addition to this
section of the state. The writer met
him on the Erie train one day. re-
cently, and he learned that he was
making his first visit to our high
lands and lakes. He is a young
man, not yet old enough to vote, if
we may hazard a guess. He is just
out of Lincolndale Agricultural Col
lege, of N. Y. State. From that in-
stitutlon he went to New York city,
but did not like city life, and came
this way, bound for Waymart. Al-
though his people live in Lincoln'
dale, George Yousko is a native of
Pennsylvania. He was born at Beth'
lehem. He showed the writer pict
ures of college scenes, and his heal
thy countenance, sunny disposition
and happy demeanor indicate that his
heart is in the right place and that
he is sure to make a citizen that any
community will bo proud to own. He
is a base ball enthusiast along with
his other attainments, and his eyes
sparkled with tho peculiar glint that
is so noticeable in all boys who love
the freedom and excitement of the
national game.
The writer advised George to call
on Supt. Fitzsimmons, at the new
State Hospital, where they undoubt
edly would be able to find a suitable
place for such a young man, fresh
from an Agricultural College, in tho
modern farming they are undertak
ing this season.
Another citizen we sometimes
greet is H. S. Whltmore, the post
master of Inglehart, in Berlin town
ship. When ho manages to get away
from his home duties for a brief in
terval he comes down into the
charming precincts of the county
seat to say "how d' yo' do?" to tho
boys and to seo how we do things
down here. Mr. Whitmoro mado
such a trip to Honesdalo the other
day, and before he escaped the writ
er managed to pick up several items
of Interest with which ho is moro
or less connected. Just at present
we learn that he is in the field for
the ofllce of Supervisor of the high
ways of his township. He doesn't
claim that ho 'has some patent pro
cess or constructing roads that will
produce the best road In tho world
at no cost, but he does claim that he
knows what constitutes a good road,
and Is ready with all confidence to
guarantee to the public that for their
.good money they will get value re
ceived, and that is what the public
wants, and, furthermore, what the
public should get.

Nothing to Worry Over.
"I heard something the other day
that greatly surprised me, and I have
been worried about it ever since."
"What was it?"
"I don't know whether I ought to
mention it to you or not, but I was
told that your daughter's husband was
n free thinker. Shos such a lovely
girl! I hope it isnt true."
"Of course it isn't, or If it Is it won't
make any difference. Laura takes aft
er me, and my husband was a free
thinker, too, when I married htm. Now
he never thinks." Chicago Record
Herald. Inspiration and Sitting Tight.
George Eliot believed that her novels
were tho product of Inspiration or gen
lus. Anthony Trollopo thought his was
the result of "cobbler's wax, madam,"
or the faculty of sitting tight in his
chair and turning out 250 words every
fifteen minutes for two or three hours
before breakfast The method sue
ceeded so far as to bring him a return
of $350,000 and tho reading public a set
of novels which are being more appro
elated every day. Pall Mall Gazette.
