TUESDAY,
THE HAPPY MAX.
The happiest man in the world Is
the common everyday chap who
makes his own living, pays his own
bills, and saves a little money as he
goes along, but doesn't try to get a
corner on his local output and he is
not a slave to ambition or society.
He never expects to wear out his
trousers in the senate and when he
glides out of bed in the morning, he
never wastes any tlrne trying to pick
out the right tint of socks, suspend
ers and necktie that will blend with
the general effect, .-$M
' He only wears a high collar when
he feels like It and when his pet corn
begins to Jump be jerks out his knife
and cuts a four gash in the side of
his shoe and nothing is said about it '
In the local paper. He never has toj
sit up at night to poultice his con
science.' . J! 11
Ho believes in the doctrine of live
and let live.' When he encounters
one of the needy, he doesn't stutter
with his pocket book. The plain
plug of a man is happy because he Is
satisfied and he doesn't spend half
of his time yearning for something
which his salary Will not permit him
to buy.
Give us more plain men and the
world will be better. Exchange.
THE SAX1TY OF HARRY K. THAW
The escape to freedom of -Harry
K. Thaw early on Sunday morning
not only throws the name of that
Individual on the front page of the
newspapers once more, but it brings
up a question afresh as to his san
ity. In a sense Thaw is insane, as all
Intensely jealous minded people are
Insane. In another sense he was
perfectly sane, for he knew exactly
what he was doing all the time, and
he carried out his plans with the
accuracy that comes of sane, and
most careful calculation.
These qualities have again been
shown in his escape to freedom.
It was no chance escape, but a plot
ted affair, whose foundation was laid
deep and well. The real secret may
possibly never be known. That the
escaped man will not soon be re
turned to Matteawan is a certainty.
One feature of the published tes
timony when He was undergoing an
examination from a corps of alien
ists a few years ago gave a clear
line on his mental acuteness. He
told one of the doctors that he did
not like him, and when pressed for
a reason quoted the words of Tom
Brown, an English writer, who near
ly 250 years ago wrote them:
"I do not love you, Dr. Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell;
But only this I know full well,
I do not love you, Dr. Fell."
Say andvthink what you may about
Harry K. Thaw, but there are few
people could give as sane a reason
for a personal dislike he could not
explain.
And nothing written above Is to
be considered as excusing Harry K.
Thaw for any of his many acts .of
lawlessness and viciousness, for The
Citizen does not believe In apologiz
ing for the criminality of anybody.
WHY SUPPORT THE CHAUTAU
QUA? Here are some plain words and
homely facts for Wayne county
people, and Honesdale people especi
ally to consider.
This week marks the opening of
the Chautauqua exercises in Hones
dale, the first effort along that line
we have had. The Chautauqua
should be supported by all of our
people. There are Innumerable rea
sons for giving the Chautauqua our
support. Here are some of them:
People are going to support
something. If it Isn't one thing it
will be another. If it isn't of a
character that helps, It will be" of the
kind that hurts. If it doesn't ele
vate humanity, It will bend the mor
a'.s downward. Then, seeing that
we are by nature bound to support
or boom something, why not let that
something bo worthy of support?
Many people cannot rise above
supporting an Old Home Week car
nival of carelessness, carnality and
clamorous clownlshness.. Ask those
whose sense of propriety has been
shocked at these gatherings, and
who have been told when they utter
AUGUST 10, 1013.
ed sentiments of protest, "oh,
everything goes, you know, during
Old Home Week," and listen to
what they say. Ask ' them if they
are in favor of such unlicensed folly,
and their answer will be sufficient.
Some people want to make the
Old Home Week an annual occasion
for Honesdale. Was Honesdale
really benefitted by Old Home
Week? Is it of that character that
will pay us to try and perpetuate?
The anjwer is obvious.
Then let Honesdale ahd Wayne"
county stand by and for the Chau
tauqua every year. It is worth
while. It will pay In every sense.
At its conclusion each year all who
may patronize It will not have that
sense that they really need to go
somewhere andxlean up by taking a
good moral bath.
Now isn't what we have Said
strictly true? . .1
Be sure and buy your season tick
et before Thursday.
COMPETITIVE JOURNALISM
According to the Independent that
is the only newspaper in Wayne
county. It has no competitors.
Others who may be trying to do a
little publishing are lost in the
shuffle. It certainly is too bad!
Each week The Citizen prints and
circulates never less than 90 col
umns of local news, county corres
pondence, editorial, general news,
stories and miscellaneous matter, in
cluding business news from Hones
dalo merchants. The Independent
generally prints 84 columns, or 12
columns less than The Citizen, and
the columns are the same length in
both papers. There are people who
actually say that the quality of The
Citizen is fully as good as that of
the Independent, and some even are
sure that it is a little better.
From now until Jan. 1, 1914, The
Citizen will be sent to new subscrib
ers for 25 cents. Tell your neigh
bors about this, and have them start
right now, for the sooner they start
the more numbers they will get for
their quarter of a dollar.
In the meantime the Independent
is quite sure it has no competitor,
and The Citizen will have to peg
along the best it can under the cir
cumstances. PROHIBITION" IN CHINA.
Chinese laws are medievial, but ef
fective. Some years ago the raising,
manufacturing, producing, selling
and use of opium was absolutely
prohibited throughout the whole vast
empire. Since then sixty-seven per
sons have been convicted jjf violat
ing the law, and have been sentenced
,ln .oa'ch instance to be burned alive,
and the sentence has been relentless
ly carried out In each Instance. In
China prohibition prohibits.

1 STOP FOREST FIRES!
The Department of Forestry at
Harrisburg has just Issued a forest
fire poster 14x22 inches in si.ze, to be
distributed generally over the
forested regions of the state. It
contrasts vividly the advantages of
protected forests and the curses
which befall us as the result of forest
fires.
Forest fires, in most cases, result
from the carelessness or indifference
of some one. A burning match, a
cigar or cigarette stub, or pipe ashes
may be heedlessly dropped along
the edge of a road or path through
the forest; a small fire at camp or on
a game runaway is built and not
thoroughly extinguished; these little
things may be the cause of untold
loss in many ways to Innocent peo
ple. Sometimes people see forest fires
start, and do nothing to extinguish

them when they are small. They do
not realize that the greater the Are
the greater their own individual loss.
The unfortunate condition is that the
greatest evils resulting from forest
fires are not direct. Diminished
streams and impure water may not
be noticed for several years. The
gradual increase in the price of wood
may not be attributed to the local
fire. The money that might have
been brought to a community because
of its beauty is not missed because It
was never expected. The failure of
farm or fruit crops is biamed upon
"the weather" or "the bugs," when
unquestionably the real cause was
changed forest conditions in the
neighborhood. The poverty of a re
gion is blamed upon "hard times,"
"the administration," and other in
definite things. Forest fires have
made tree growth impossible, hence
lumbering and other industries de
pendent upon the forest are impos
sible. The soil Is too steep and too
poor to form and Is constantly get
ting poorer or thinner. There is
nothing to do but move out or starve.
Fires may increase the berry crop
or the pasturage for a few years but
the final result is far less than a
crop of forest trees would yield.
The words of the poster are:
STOP FOREST FIRES!

IT PAYS TO BE COURTEOUS.
According to the Sun the follow
ing Incident recently occurred down
In New York:
Shortly after the workmen had.
finished the landlord took especial
pains to show to each tenant the bill
for doing over his flat. The house
holders regarded that attention In
different lights, according to the Im
provements they had fought for and
got. Some looked frightened, think
ing it protended a rise in rent, soma
apologetic, others defiant. The third'
floor right man was noncommittal.
Three days later he called at the
landlord's office and showed him a
slip of paper. It was a bill for six
shirts, summer socks and ties, a
straw hat and a blue serge suit.
"What's this got to do with me?"
the landlord asked.
"Oh, nothing," said the man.
"Just an interchange of courtesies.
Nothing like being neighborly, you
know."
