TIIOUGIIT-'FOU TO-DAY.
It does not take a great man to
bo a Christian, -but it takes all there
Is in him. The Evangel.
The establishment of penny post
age between the United States and
Great Britain has been amply justi
fied by results obtained. The British
postoffice reports show a remark
able increase In the number of let
ters sent between tho two countries.
There has been no decline from the
high figures of 1909-10 when from
an annual Increase of 5 per cent. In
letters sent to America the figures
jumped to 32 per cent.. In 1912-13
the increase was 7.5 per cent. The
rate of increase on letters sent from
tho United States was 29 per cent.
In 1909-10, and in 1912-13 it was
C.8 per cent. The experiment is a
successful one. It will doubtless too
followed in due time by half-penny
or one-cent letter postage.
WELCOME TO TEACHERS OP
DEAR OLD WAYNE.
Teachers of Wayne county, tho
people of Honesdale ibid you wel
come. During your stay among us
tho coming week the town and its
residents sincerely hope that you
will enjoy the many privileges that
will be afforded and that when tho
forty-sixth annual session will havo
closed that you will bo stronger In
tellectually and sociologically for
having come In our midst.
Before leaving this historical
town, where the first locomotive, the
Stourbridge Lion, turned a wheel on
the American continent, you are in
vited to visit Tho Citizen office,
where is installed a Mergenthaler
linotype, a .type setting machine,
which Is one of the modern inven
tions of the ago. As a souvenir to
every teacher visiting our plant dur
ing Institute week Tho Citizen will
give a metal slug with his or her
name cast thereon.
A HARD AVORKING SUPERIN
TENDENT. Over two hundred Wayne county
teachers are in Honesdale this week
to attend the forty-sixth annual In
stitute, which Is being held In the
High school auditorium. - Professor
J. J. Koehler, county superintendent,
has spared neither time nor ex
pense in getting the best talent ob
tainable to instruct and entertain
tho teachers during their stay here
It Is safe to say that he has secured
one of tho best corps of instructors
and strongest line of entertainments
n ever to attend a gathering of this
character. It is, therefore, a fore
gone conclusion that tho 1913 Wayne'
County Teachers' Institute will be
the best ever held in Honesdale.
Professor Koehler is a hard-working
superintendent and considers that
the best is none too good for his
large corps of teachers.
To Superintendent Koehler great
credit is due for the method of
teaching spelling in Wayne county.
Spelling until Superintendent Koeh
ler's system was adopted, was con
sidered as a neglected branch in the
school's clrriculum. Ho conceived
the plan of holding district spelling
contests and issuing diplomas to the
successful pupils who spelled correct
ly a list of eighteen hundred words
that had been compiled by a com
mittee for this purpose. The win
ners of the oral and written contests
-were to spell at tho time of holding
the teachers' institute and receive
county diplomas. Tho plan worked
out beautifully. To-day spelling is
one of the leading studies In the dif
ferent branches taught. Superin
tendent Koehler's method of spelling
has been adopted by other counties
in this and other states. Well may
Wayne bo flroud of its county super
intendent, Professor J. J. Koehler.
THE CARBONDALE -KIOT.
It would bo weak as well as un
wlse for any local newspaper to
ignoro tho riot sensation that oc
curred at Carbondalo on Friday
night. There is a temptation to
throw tho mantle of sllenco"and of
non-observance over such affairs;
but they are of too grave a nature
to be passed over thus weakly or
lightly.
The Scranton Times deals with
tho subject fairly and bravely, ac
cording to facts as1 thus brought to
the Citizen Publishing Company.
E. B. nAUDENBEItall
W. W. WOOD
cents, memorial poetry and resolutions
n u. wwu. uci woib u
'
the surface. The Times says:
There can be defense for the
riot and disorder which oc
curred at Carbondale last night,
attending the speech of Robert
Wilson in the Berean Baptist
church. The destruction of
property, the violence to perr
sons Is inexcusable in a country
governed by law and the author
ties of our sister city should be
held to stern account for not
nipping the disturbance in the
bud before it had assumed the
proportions of a riot. Also it
shou'd not bo difficult to find the
leaders of the Tioters, and to
inflict upon them the penalties
of the law. In a decent, or
1 derly community such manifes
tations are to be not only de
plored but put down with tho
strong hand.
The Times further takes up the
other sldo of tho case, and says that
whilo the above is true
" .... It does not les
sen in the slightest degree the
'heavy responsibility of Detec
tive Robert Wilson and the
people who were responsible
for last night's meeting. They
understood fully tho menace to
the peace that they incurred,
for the meeting had been sched
uled before and postponed for
that very reason. It was gen
erally understood that tho ad
dress to be delivered by Wilson
was the same that ho delivered
to an audience in a Congrega
tional church In North Scran
ton a few weeks ago."
As to the speech complained of,
Tho Times says it has reason to be
lieve that it is
" . . . . unprintable, un
speakable, almost unthinkable,
It is a vile attack upon the Ca
tholic clergy, the Catholic sis
terhoods, Catholic organiza
tions and Catholic laity. Its
whole aim is to arouse rank
prejudice of their Protestant
neighbors against Catholic peo
ple who are going their way,
leading honest and respectable
lives, respecting and not inter
fering with the religious be
lief of their neighbors."
The Times further voices its seSti
ments and concludes as- follows:
"We are strong believers in
tho constitutional right of "free
dom of speech," but the consti
tution also provides that tho
speaker must be responsible for
the abuse thereof, and Detec
tive Robert Wilson should be
held strictly responsible for the
villainous slanders which he is
dissamlnating in a cowardly
manner behind closed doors, be
fore audiences who ought to
blush for shame becauso they
sat and listened to such vile
ness. "This is a polyglot nation in
which people of all nations and
all creeds aro thrown together
in a melting pot to produce the
American of tho future. Tho
constitution of the United States
guarantees to all of us freedom
to worship God according to the
dictates of their conscience.
We havo been living together
as neighbors in peace and amity,
and should continue so to live
through all the years to come.
The man who seeks to destroy
that peace and amity by Infus
ing the poison of religious
bigotry and prejudice, and set
ting up the spirit of antagonism
and strife among people of dif
ferent creeds, is a traitor to
this republic and its institu- r
tlons." To sum up the matter, it would
seem that Mr. Wilson was unwise in
making such addresses; that those
who engaged in the act of wrecking
a church building aro guilty of a
great breach of the peace; that even
If some people are unwise enough to
make inflammatory speechos it is
equally unwise for other people who
agree or disagree with them to oven
listen to such speeches or to congre
gate about tho building where such
utterances aro being made.
As to the right to explain one's
view or belief beforo a private au
dience, opinions may differ. Here is
how Rev. Charles Lee, D. D., of Car
bondale, views that phase of the
question:
"Tho riot of Friday night
was a disgrace to us in the eyes
of tho state and the nation. It
is something to cause every cit
izen to think profoundly. I and
some of the other clergy of the
city were not taken into tho
plans or those who Invited Mr.
Wilson to speak in our city.
But I believe ho was entirely
within his legal rights in ut
tering his convictions beforo a
private audience. The wisdom
of having him come is a matter
which each jnust Judge for him
self. The lawlessness, destruc
tion of property and assault on
persons should be strongly con
demned by everyone."
Others may differ -with Mr, Lee
, on this subject, but tho view ho takes
seems to be sound and In tho true
spirit of tho nation In which wp live.
DESTROY TAMMANY.
" Tammany must be destroyed,"
is tho daily theme of the New York
World. It has an historical pre
cedent for this declaration in Roman
history, when, as every school boy
probably doesn't know,- Cato used
to close his speeches in the Senate
with the remark, "Et delanda est
Carthago," (Carthage must be de
stroyed). Well, Carthage finally was
destroyed by the Romans, though
several wars had to be fought before
It was accomplished. So, too, Tam
many will perish'' some day, but it
is doubtful whether it will be In this
day and generation. Tammany Is
one of the strongest political organi
zations In the world and several
years ago they were wiped out simi
lar to their more recent defeat, but
during those, Intervening years the
old tiger was not asleep In Its lair,
but was steadily and silently build
ing up what had been pulled down of
Its political strongholds. Now, as
before, it will only have the work to
do over again and that will come
ultimately unless the Democrats op
posed to Tammany Hall are stronger
In the city of New York than they
give evidence to-day.
FORTY-THREE YEARS IN
SERVICE OF THE ERIE.
Conductor Charles Lord of the
Honesdale Erie passenger train, cele
brated his forty-third year in the
service of the Erie company on Sun
day. Mr. Lord started in as a
brakeman on tho Jefferson division
of this road, his first run being from
Susquehanna to Carbondale. The
conductor of that train is now in
the west where he holds the posi
tion of president of a bank of a rap
idly growing city. Mr. Lord, by at
tending strictly to business, was
soon promoted and became conduc
tor of coal and freight trains which
operated on the Delaware and Wyo
ming divisions. Mr. Lord for
nearly fifteen years has been con
ductor of passenger trains for the
Erie. For the past six years he has
been in charge of the Honesdale
Erie train which operates daily be
tween Port Jervis and this place and
Lackav-axen.
During the forty-three years that
Conductor Lord Jias been in the
Erie's servlco he has never missed
tho pay car any month. This ,is an
unusual record and one that few em
ployees of any railroad have ex
perienced. SOME CITIZEN COMMENT
ttntttntttttttttnrttttttttfflttttntffltttnnttt
Robinson Crusoe experiences ' In
this age are so rare that they at
tract unversal notice. The last to
claim attention is that of a party of
Esquimaux numbering, it is said,
ten persons, who were rescued from
an island in the mouth of Hudson's
Bay, upon which they had been ma
rooned for a period of ten years.
The Esquimaux were caught off
shore, on drift ice and carried, after
long weeks of hardship, to the is
land upon which they were found.'
This island has been steadfastly
avoided toy passing vessels because
of reefs and magnetic disturbances
which affected ships' compasses. It
is over 100 ml'es off the mainland.
The Esquimaux had lived during all
the period of their forced stay on
fish and seal meat. Several children
were born during the decade of their
imprisonment, and some of the party
had died. And this Incident occur
red right on our Western continent,
right directly north from Wayne
county, but quite somo distance
north.
A. j
Woman Suffrage,' or, more prop
erly speaking, the Woman Suffrage
subject, has now been put up to the
Pope by a large number of leading
prelates of tho Catholic church for a
definite expression of the church's
attitude on the question of woman's
suffrage. The general supposition
Is that that matter had been settled
by the head of that church long ago;
but it has never been really settled,
It appears, hence the action of the
prelates as stated above. High
church officials who have discussed
the subject with the Pope state that
his ruling would unquestionably bo
against the suffragettes. It is ex
pected that his decision in tho mat
ter will take tho form of an encycli
cal letter to prelates in all parts of
the world. While this Is their an
ticipation, they may 'find themselves
mistaken when the encyclical letter
Is published. There are many dignl
!vrles of that church that have been
and are' openly in favor of woman
being given the right to vote and
assist in making the laws under
which she must live, and be punish
ed if she torcaks them. Among those
favorable to tho movement are Car
.dlnal Bourne of London, and the
late Cardinal Moran, of Australia.
Wnyno County Teachers have pos
session of Honesdale this weok, and
they are surely as attractive a lot
of Wayne Counteans as possibly
could be found in many a day's
Journey. The first County Institute
the writer hereof ever attended was
held in Prompton. The late p. G.
Allen was the County Superintend
ent, and Earl Sherwood was Secre
tary. At that Institute Secretary
Sherwood made an .impromptu ad
dress that brought down universal
applause. Two or three years later
there was something in tho nature
of a clash during Institute week.
Honesdale had a literary society
called the Franklin Lyceum, and
Theodore Tilton's lecture came dur
ing Institute week. Tho Lyceum
managers wanted Sup't Allen to.
change the hour of the Institute's en
tertainment that came on tho night
of Tilton's lecture. They wanted the
teachers to hear Theodore; but Al
len couldn't see it that way, and in
his speech of refusal he said that ho
wouldn't change the program not
to hear Theodore Tilton's or any
other man's "free lovo lecture," The
teachers applauded the speech; but
there was . a chilly air towards the
Institute from certain Honesdale sec
tions during the rest of the week.
"Red Shadow," the real story of
the Wyoming Valley, written by
Hon. John E. Barrett, has
been published in book
form by the Colonial Press,
of Scranton. It Is a hand
some book, well printed
and substantially bound.
A representation of Red
Shadow, the Mohawk war
rior, on the front cover Is
striking as well as beautiful. Tho
story itself is history told as a tale,
and the volume Is worthy a place
in every library in the land. Indeed,
were the book used to a certain ex
tent as a historical reader in our
common schools It would serve a
useful purpose. Hero In Honesdale
and Wayne county, where the au
thor of "Red Shadow" is so well and
favorably known, the book should
find a ready sale. The Citizen hopes
to see It on sale at our various book
stores, and were somo bright can
vasser to make a tour of the Maple
City and vicinity many copies would
undoubtedly be readily sold. The
price is $1.25, which is low con
sidering the fact that the printing
is high class In every respect, the
stock used is of the best
and the binding is most ex
cellent. The Citizen sug
gests that the Honesdale
Chapter of the D. A. R
take up tho matter and soli'
"Red Shadow," whose au
thor also composed the
State song of that worthy
organization, "Pennsylva

Attorneys Muinfoi'd and Greene Move
for New Trial on Grounds That
Amount of Verdict Was Excessive.
E. C. Mumford and Homer Greene,
attorneys for the Borough of Star
rucca, who is defendant in a suit
brought by Luta Jane Mead and
George L. Mead, to recover damages
amounting to $7,000, motioned the
Court on Monday for a rule to show
cause why a new trial should not be
granted in the case.
Tho suit was tried during tho Oc
tober term of court and the jury in
the case gave Mrs. Mead a verdict of
?G45 and Mr. Mead $100.
Tho rule was granted to have the
evidence and the charge of tho Court
transcribed.
They gave as their reasons for ask
ing for a new trial the following:
That tho evidence iof witnesses
familiar with the bridge, that In their
opinion it was unsafe for ordinary
travel, should have been admitted.
That tho verdict was against tho
charge of tho Court.
That the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence.
That the amount of the verdict
was grossly in excess of any amount
of damages shown to have been suf
fered by tho plaintiffs.
Tho defendants reserve the right
to file additional reasons Tvithln
twenty days.
