TUESDAY, AUGUST B, 1013.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
The question for each man to set
tle Is not what he would do if he had
means, time, influence and educa
tional advantages, but what he will
do with the things ho has. Hamil
ton Wright Mable.
A special dispatch from Chicago
has the following to say concerning
meat as food:
"Meat sales over the nation
have dropped off from 35 to
50 per cent, within the last
three years, because it is get
ting so that only the wealthy
will be in a position to buy
meat by 1923. The scarcity of
live stock is the reason. Farm
ers refuse to raise cattle be
cause the cost of production is
so great, and as a result the
feeders demand more money
for their' stock."
This announcement following the
statement df J. T. Russell, president
of the National Master Butchers' as
sociation, that " American people
will scarcely know the taste of
meat in ten years from now," looks
as if we are all going to be vegi-
tarians. '
Perhaps the situation would be
bettered if the price of meat would
be reduced. This could be done and
the farmer would receive the same
prices as they do now. The farmer
is not to blame for the increase of
production.
COMPULSORY VOTIXG.
Tho Seranton Truth recently talk
ed along a line that is new. That is,
people in this "land of the free and
the home of the brave" have never
had their attention called seriously
to the subject of compulsory vot
ing; but when one thinks tho sub
ject over he must agree with the
suggestion. If compulsory education
is all right and a good thing, then
as to voting, why not?
Here is a part of what the Truth
says:
"Secretary of the Navy Joseph
Daniels has spoken again and this
time his oratory has the appearance
of leadinK to something practical.
There may be people who possess tho
art of creating theoretical difficulties
who can conjure up all kinds of rea
sons why Mr. Daniels' suggestion
cannot bo carried out. We content
ourselves with the assurance that
our sovereign government can com
pel its will if that will is based upon
reason and riglit.
"Secretary Daniels says that
every citizen should be forced to
vote. AVo agree. Citizenship and
voting are inseparable. That is, no
one can think logically of the mean
ing of being a citizen and leave out
the ballot. At present voting is op
tional. A man may go to the polls or
stay at home, just as he pleases. He
ought to be made to go to the polls
or suffer consequences prescribed by
law. Why should a man enjoy all
tho privileges, rights and immuni
ties of citizenship and neglect its
chief duty?
"But the suggestion does not go
far enough. Every citizen should bo
compelled to register or tho regis-
tration should bo done for him by
the authorities. For instance, fully
2o per cent, of the citizens of Scran
ton are not on the poll list. Accord
lng to the federal census of 1910,
there aro 37,950 men In Seranton
over twenty-ono years of ago. Of
these 8,759 aro of native parentage
that is, Americans of at least two
generations, and 10,017 aro tho
American-born sons of foreign or
mixed parentage. Thus, there are
19,370 men in Seranton who are
American citizens by right of birth.
That is just about tho number of
voters thoro aro on tho register. But
over and abovo these there are 7,
930 naturalized citizens within tho
city limits; therefore we ought to
have at least 27,000 voters. About
7,000 voters never register."
Tho Citizen would llko to hear
from its readers along this line. If
compulsory voting and compulsory
registering Is a good thing according
to your way of thinking, why,
write out your thoughts and let us
publish them, If you think com
pulsion is wrong, givo your reasons
and we will gladly publish what you
have to say.
Now, take your Httlo pen in hand
and go to work.
CHEAP DEMOCRATIC POLICIES
Word comes from Washington that
" charges " havo been filed against
Postmaster Smith, and that his place
will be filled by a distinguished Dem
ocrat who helped to elect delegates
who voted for the nominations of
Woodrow Wilson at tho Baltimore
convention. Thus the " cause of the
people " goes gloriously forward and
the "'new freedom" spreads Its
wings over tho Federal offices
w. w. wood
No one will be surprised 'at tho
proposed change. It has been re
garded as inevitable, but there will
naturally be some curiosity concern
ing the manner in which it is to be
brought about. The " charges "
against tho postmaster are not pre
ferred by patrons of the office, or by
anyone who is dissatisfied with the
way in which the postal business has
been conducted, but by members of
the Democratic State Committee. In
deed, one of our Democratic contem
poraries is authority for the state
ment that the new reform chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
was present when the " charges "
were presented to the Postmaster
General. His presence, no doubt,
was for the purpose of Inspiring the
Postmaster General with moral cour
age and to hasten the action of the
official ax.
It will strike most persons having
red blood in their veins that 'this
mixture of high political professions
with petty peanut politics Is a nau
seating performance. It is well
known that Mr. Smith has conducted
the affairs of the postoffice with con
spicuous ability, and it is no secret
that the Postmaster General was dis
posed to retain him until the close
of his term, but the demand for his
place has become so clamorous that
the Postmaster must be sacrificed on
the altar of political expediency. Mr.
Smith has never made any secret of
his political preferences. He is a
stalwart Republican, and Republicans
would And no fault with his removal,
if it was made in a manly, straight
forward manner. But the method
of the present administration seems
to be to try to smirch a man and
then to rernove him for " cause." A
similar attempt was made in the
case of Collector Hill, but when that
gentleman, through Senator Oliver,
demanded an investigation, his ac
cusers turned tail and retreated,
claiming that it was not expedient
to produce their proofs. The real rea
son, as everybody knows, was that
they had no proofs to produce.
If the Democrats want the offices
and there isn't any shadow of
doubt about that let them take
them, but in the name of decency and
common sense, let them cease trying
to make a virtue of their greed.

FOOLIXG THE COXFIDIXG PUB
LIC. A Fish's Eddy correspondent says:
Still another germ in the shape of a
book agent struck town Friday and
the way ho put it all over the 'female
element was shameful. First he
would present the ladles with a
bunch of ten post cards, just to get
them good natured. Then he would
tell them he was going to send them
a magazine for three years and all It
would cost was one cent each month
to pay tho postage. Of course the
women all fell for that for the fellow
was really good looking and had
beautiful manners and such nico
dreamy blue eyes. Well, after he
got them all sugared up he would
write out a receipt for thirty-six
cents, saying he was working
through collego and was sure tho
dear ladles would not object to pay
ing the 3G cents postage in advance.
Oh, no, of course. Did you ever 'no
tice that these fellows wait until
papa has taken his " nose bag " and
departed to nis daily toil before
they do their canvassing?
A HAXCOCK FISH STORY.
S. Busfleld of Hancock, went fish
ing Friday evening for bullheads.
Early in the ovening while leaning
over the sldo of tho boat Mr. B. lost
his watch overboard, of which fact
he was not cognizant until several
nours later. About 11 o'clock as
the party was preparing to adjourn
to tho cottage for tho night, Mr. B.
felt an unusually strong tug on his
fish-line. Hastily pulling up the line
he landed a sixteen inch bullhead,
with horns like a Texas steer. But
withal tho fish was Ill-shaped In tho
immediate vicinity of the waist line,
and looked as though ho had- swal
lowed a China egg or some other in
dlgestlblo matter. When being
dressed for the frying nan tho mys
tery of the protuberance was solved.
ror as nis head was cut off out rolled
the missing watch.

-t--t--t--f-t--f-t----t--t--t--t-
Few DeoDle have realized, when
having their shoes blackened at the
shoe shine shop on Main street un
der old Liberty Hall, how much of
interest was wrapped up in the mod
est young foreigners who pneu tho
brush and the polishing cloth.
" Where did you live before you
came to the United States?" was the
inquiry made of one of tho young
men in attendance recently, and his
reply was that ho came from Greece.
Greece. The name or mat. country
hns flcured oulte extensively in the
newspapers of late, and tlie student, ' as uone us suarc towarus iurnisu
or even tho casual reader of history, ing " pure drugs, medicines, paints
finds pleasure in dwelling on any-, and oils " to the Lackawanna valley,
thing pertaining to that land. You , If Julius G. Bone has a specialty
don't know how It happens, but you it is along the lino of Sunday observ-
are carried back to certain Friday
afternoons in the old school house
when you threw all your little soul
into impressing the other scholars ,
with your declaration
"At midnight In his guarded tent
Tho Turk lay dreaming of tho hour
When Greece, her knees In suppllance
bent.
Should tremble at his power."
Well evidently away back in the
days when Marco Bozzaris was
written Turkey and Greece were at
it, even as they are at it still, or, "at
it noisy," would perhaps sound bet
ter and be more up to date.
Yes, the young man was a Greek;
but he came from the city of Salon
ica. We called it Sa-lon-I-ca and he
quickly used the word after us, pro
nouncing it Sa-lon-ica. We conclud
ed he knew how to pronounce the
name of his home city.
Sunday school scholars will be
specially interested in the city from
which the young boot blacks hall,
for It is only a shortened name for
the famous city of Thessalonica, to
whose citizens the apostle Paul wrote
the first of his wonderful epistles.
Salonlca, the young Grecian said,
is a city of about 200,000 inhabi
tants. He came to this country four
years ago to escape serving as a
soldier. At that time the city was
under control of the Turks, and
rather then be compelled to take up
arms against his own people he chose
to leave his native land. He came
to Baltimore first, then came from
that city to Honesdale.
In the month of June the young
Grecian, Gus Chakris by name, went
back to visit his native land. Since
coming here conditions have changed
in his home city. It is no longer con
trolled by the Sultan's people, and
he knew he would not be in jeop
ardy. Ho sailed on the Martha
Washington from New York, and
expected to reach a Grecian port
early in July. From that port he
Intended going to Athens, and from
that city northward to the city of
Salonica, on the coast of Turkey
in Europe.
Athens. That is another city
made famous by the apostle Paul.
In that city, the capital of Greece, on
Mars Hill, was where Paul delivered
one of the most beautiful discourses
that ever fell from human Hps.
Wonder if the young man who blaak
ed 6ur shoes In tho Liberty Hall shop
knows anything about that histori
cal, literary and spiritual discourse?
What I mean is this: Did he take
tho pains to wander out to Mars
Hill? Did he find some one to say
to him, " Right here is where the
great orator stood, and right on this
Identical spot he said: ' Yo men of
Athens, I perceivo that in all things
ye are too superstitious?' "
The writer never stood on Mars
Hill, but he was " next door to it,."
He was in tho Brooklyn' tabernacle
where the late Rev. T. DeWltt Tal
mage used to preach before It burned
down. One of the features of tho
platform was a piece of rock from
that celebrated eminence on which
Paul stood " in the midst."
Gus Chakris, after visiting his par
ents and others, will return to
Honesdale. He likes the United
States very much and is perfectly
satisfied to spend his days right here
In Honesdale.
The other day Charles T. Bel
lamy, of Delaware street, Seranton,
dropped into this office while on a
periodical visit to Wayne, his nativo
county. In saying something about
Mr. Bellamy in this department re
cently wo stated that the foundation
of his success wus the successful sale
of a patent scoop shovel that had its
origin in his fertile brain. He was
very emphatic in his denial of that
statement. He said his experience
was that of many others who havo
secured patents on useful inventions.
He never realized a penny on Its sale,
although the concern that purchased
It, ho understands profited by such
purchase. But Charley wasn't of
tho kind who whino about ill luck
and refuse to continue to play in- tho
everyday game of lifo. He started in
to sell flour and feed. Then ho
patented the scoop shovel. Then ho
began selling salt, which ho found
was exactly what the Biblo says it is,
"Good," and ho is so fully satisfied
that it Is good that ho will continue
in tho salt business, undoubtedly un
til ho retires from business for keens.
-H-
The other day when Julius G.
Bone was in Honesdale, as he wan
dered through the streets of tho town
undoubtedly ho found many changes
from tho placo he knew when he was
a lad and lived with his father's
family in the house on the hill abovo
the Dyberry river where it kisses
tho fertile lands or the Henwood
farm. The old house Is no longer In
existence, but the old foundation is
still there, as also is the big elm
tree that throws its pleasing shade
over the placo of entrance onco so
freely used by the big and little
Bones of that family.
In Honesdale years ago his father,
who died last fall, sold meat where,
if I am not mistaken, the Dien meat
market Is now located. Mr. Bono
used to advertise in tho county pa
pers. One of his advertisements
started off like this:
"When you buy land
You buy stones:
When you buy meat,
n,1V It T)nnA t
Years afterward when he had charge
of the meat department of P, p.
Price's cash store his mind reverted
back to his Wayne county experi
ences when ho inquired one night as
he handed over a package to us as
we were about to take a car for
Dunmore, If we were " going out as
far as Bethany."
Julius G. Bone left Honesdale
prior to the breaking out of tho
Civil War, and tho majority of his
years have been spent in Dunmore
where ho has conducted a decidedly
successful drug business.
The Bone family came to Wayne
county from England, as also did
tho Henwoods, the Matthews and
others. While Julius G. Bone sold
drugs In Dunmore, the Matthews
Bros, sold drugs In Seranton and tho
Henwoods sold drugs in Providence.
So It will be seen that Honesdale
ance. For years only necessary
medicines have been sold on Sunday
at his store, and those on certain
hours only. He has also been in
strumental in leading the druggists
of the nation to make Sunday a real
rest day rather than a day of busi
ness. FISHERMEX RRIXG
HOME PLEASAXT REFLECTIOXS.
A piscatorial party composed of
Dr. G. C. Butler, Deputy Postmaster
C. J. Kelley, O. M. Spettigue, Jr., and
Ned Swoyer spent a few days at For
est Lake. The journalist whis
pered in the dentist's ear that he
was tipped off on the location of a
school of ten-pound pickerel. Woman-like,
the secret was held In strict
confidence, but before the day had
passed a sharp shooter and an East
street champion quoit player were en
lightened as to what part of the pond
the big ten-pound pickerel lay.
About 50 different kinds of tempting
bait was secured, every precaution
being taken so as not to lose one of
the ten-pounders. Light bait and
dark bait, bait that squeaks and
walks, squirms and balks when you
try to put in on the hook, and not
very pleasant to look at. In fact
all the delicacies of the finny tribe
were dropped into.the dark, deep wa
ters of the pond and right In that
particular spot where the ten-pound
ers swam around. Did theyO bite?
The dentist says that their teeth were
good even though they were old, for
a fish that weighs ten nounds must
have lived in the water a number of
years. The doctor's friends have all
reason to believe that the pickerel
bit good, for he is well' qualified on
teetn.
What does the journalist have to
say about those big ten pounders
that still lie in the pond? He sub
stantiates the doctor's story. While
seated in the boat with reflections of
fisherman's luck," tho younc
journalist claims to havo said that
there is nothing like that. That if
one wants to catch ten-nound Dicker-
el he can do so by using the proper
bait at the proper time in the proper
location. Tho East street champion
quoit tosser claims it is easier to
throw a ringer than coax a ten
pound pickerel out of Its haunts in
Forest Lake, no matter if 50
different kinds of bait are used. The
tosser is a pretty good angler, how
ever, ana aid not exDerlence as much
difficulty in getting smaller fish to

What about the sharp-shooter,

It's all in knowing how. The sharp
shooter might be able to get the drop
on a stationary target, but when he
comes to drop fish ammunition Into
unknown distances and out of sight
it requires an alert right arm to land
a ten-pound pickerel and ring the
bell. As a whole the boys enjoyed a
few pleasant days at the lake and
brought home many happy reflec

STORY OF "PUFFING BILLY"
THIS AVAS THE NAME OF THE
WORLD'S SECOND LOCOMO
TIVE. Tho First One, the "Rocket," Now
Stands on the Darlington, (York
shire, England) Depot "Fulling
Hilly" is nt XcvcstIe-on-Tviic,
England "Stourbridge Lion" Is
at tho Snilthsoninii Institute,'
Washington, l). o.
The Citizen is under obligations
to J. B. Nielsen, of Honesdale, for
the very interesting history of the
second steam engine that was built
by Robert Stevenson, tho English in
ventor who also built the "Stour
bride Lion," tho first engine that
ever turned a wheel in the United
States, which' event occurred at
Honesdale. As a matter of histori
cal interest it is well to say hero
that tho first engine, called " The
Rocket," stands in tho depot at
Darlington, Yorkshire, England;
"Puffing Billy," tho second engine,
Is located at Newcastlo-on-Tyne, Eng
land; "Stourbridge Lion," or as
much of it as could be gathered, is
on exhibition in tho Smithsonian In
stitute, Washington, D. C. Editor
Citizen.
The history of tho locomotive
" Puffing Billy," has, says the
"Globe," often been related, but Is
none the less worth repeating briefly.
At tho end of 1812 William Hedley,
a coal-viewer, employed at the Wy
lam Colliery, was facing the prospect
of unemployment. Thero was a pros
pect of the colliery being closed as
the result of the constant rise In the
price of hay and other materials re
quired by a colliery having a long
railway over which lta coals were
conveyed to tho distributing centres.
The problem of devising an efficient
substitute for horse haulage caused
him many sleepless nights, whose ro-i
suit was the construction of the fam
ous " Puffing Billy." The history of
this locomotive, which was destined
to work such a mighty revolution in
human affairs, is one of the romances
of industry.
Railways long antedated the loco
motive, and although tho exact date
of their origin is difficult to deter
mine, they were In tho early part of
tho eighteenth century in common
use at the collieries in the North of
England, horso traction being tho
means of propulsion. For a long
time his method sufficed, and when
tho French engineer Cugnot, to
whom belongs the honor of building
tho first locomotive, produced his
" steam carrlago " in 17C9, and con
structed a larger one in 1771, Eng
lish colliery proprietors do not seem
to have considered tho practical util
ity of his invention. But Boulton
and Watt's development of the sta
tionary steam engine, whose original
uso on a larger scale was to drive
pumping plant in mines, led many
engineers to experiment with steam
as a motive power for vehicles. Tho
credit of constructing the first Eng
lish locomotives belongs to Richard
Trevithick, the real " grandfather of
the locomotive," who in 1803 demon
strated at Merthyr Tydfil that a load
beyond tho capacity of any horse
could bo hauled a considerable dis
tance by steam. Trevithick construct
ed several locomotives, Including the
Catch-me-who-can," which was ex
hibited for some months in an en
closure on the site of the present
Euston Station, London, but the in
stability of his temperament made
him lose interest in the idea, and he
failed to reap the fruits of his enter
prise.
Other ene.'ncers, Uowever, set to
work alontr the same lines, and the
decade from 1802 to 1812 was fruit
ful in the construction of locomo
tives. At the time, however, and in
spite of Trevithick having proved the
contrary, there was a general con
sensus of opinion on the part of en
gineers that a smooth-wheeled en
gine running on smooth rails could
not develop sufficient adhesion i.e.,
that the wheel3 would slip round
without advancing. Many and
strange were the devices adopted to
overcome this supposed lack of ad
hesion. One designer proposed a lo
cmotive whose propulsion was to be
effected by jointed pieces of metal
acting after the fashion of a horse's
legs, and In 1812 Blenkinsop, a name
famous in the history of the locomo
tive, built an engine for a North-
Country colliery in which cog wheels
worked on a rack rail, a device since
utilized in a different form on many
mountain railways. Hedley was one
of the first to question this adhesion
theory, and one day he had a sudden
inspiration. It struck him that by
connecting the wheels of a vehicle
" any tendency of any particular set
of wheels to surge or revolve on their
axles, without moving forward, might
be overcome by tho remaining
wheels." Within 24 hours he had
put his theories into practice by the
construction of an experimental mod
el, which proved his ideaa to be cor
rect. The result of the experiments with
this model which was propelled by
manuel power, was the decision to
build a steam locomotive for the Wy
lam Colliery, and the outcomo was
the construction of " Puffing Billy,"
now in tho South Kensington Mus
eum. The credit for its construction
does not belong to Hedley alone.
Timothy Hackworth, tho " foreman
of the smiths," or engineer, as we
should call him nowadays, was also
concerned in Its design. Both men
havo had their partisans, and It is
impossible, in the absence of docu
mentary evidence, to allocate to each
his exact share in the building of the
engine. But it is definitely estab
lished that a collaboration existed
between the two.
George Stephenson, who was also
a native of Wylam, and who had be
come alive to tho possibilities of tho
locomotive whilo employed at the
Klllingworth Colliery, had ample op
portunity for watching " Puffing
Billy" at work, and In 1814 himself
designed a locomotive. For some
years afterwards there was a rivalry
between him and Hackworth, who
becamo tho locomotive engineer of
the Stockton and Darlington Rail
way, opened in 1825, and the first
public railway in tho world. Steph
enson's triumph came four years la
ter, when his " Rocket " won tho
prize offered by the directors of tho
Liverpool and Manchester Railway,
beating Hackworth's " Sansparell "
among other competitors. Tho
" Rocket's " victory led to the adop
tion f the steam locomotive for pub
lic railways throughout the world
Until its powers had been demon
strated, the directors of the Liver
pool and Manchester Railway had not
definitely decided whether to employ
locomotives or fixed steam engines.

LIGHTXIXG TORE
SHOES FROM AVOMAN.
About 11 a. m. Monday during a
severe electrical storm the home of
John Meagher, situated on the Bel
mont Turnplko road, was struck by
lightning and badly damaged. Mrs.
Meagher was struck by the same bolt
and severely Injured, having the
shoes torn from her feet. She was
rendered unconscious for some time.
Dr. Miller, of Pleasant Mount, was
called and rendered medical aid.
Luckily enough Mrs. Meagehr was
the only occupant of the house at the
time for undoubtedly had the rest o
the family been in the house it
would have proved more serious.
Mr. Meagher, who was a short dis
tance from the house was also
thrown to tho ground but not Injur
ed. At the latest reports it was
thought Mrs. Meagher would fully
recover. The house was damaged to
the extent of about three hundred
dollars. Forest City News.
BANKERS SURPRISED
OVER McADOO ORDER.
New York. Surprise was express
ed by New York bankers last Friday
at the decision of Secretary of tho
Treasury McAdoo to place from ?25,
000,000 to $50,000,000 in the pub
lic banks for the movement of this
year's crops. The bankers said they
did not know that the banks of tho
south and west were confronted
with any extraordinary strain in pre
paration for the crop movement.
They said reports indicated that tho
financial arrangements were pro
gressing favorably, and that the
banks were in good shape to meet
the demands.
The bankers also expressed sur
prise at the announcement that the
government would accept commer
cial paper as security for the de
posits which will be made.
CLI.MBIXG CUTWORMS.
It Is not generally known that
throughout the State of Pennsylvania
there exists insects known as Climb
ing Cutworms, which spend the day
in the soil in concealment, and in the
evening and during tho night climb
plants, shrubs and even trees, and
feed on their foliage, and especially
on their fruit. Such is tho case, and
these pests are so numerous as to be
very destructive. Fruit growers of
ten find their young fruits gnawed
into, but do not see the marauder.
It is possible to spray with an ar
senical spray to destroy these pests,
using one ounce of arsenate of lead
in each gallon of water or fungicidal
liquid. Specimens sent to Prof. H.
A. Surface, Harrisburg, Pa., have
