THANKSGIVING.
Thursday wo will celebrate an
other Thanksgiving Day and on an
other page to-day the Citizen pub
lishes good and sufficient reasons
why Honesdale people should be
grateful for material 'blessings. Our
mills are busy.
So you, who have been struggling
along, perhaps, under a heavy load;
you who havo had work aplenty,
should look ahead to happier days.
At all events, the year now closing
has been better from a business
point of view, than tho year before
and that, too, is something for which
to be thankful. Let us put from us
the gloomy forebodings with which
wo all too often obscure an otherwise
unclouded sky, let us look cheerful
ly and confidently toward the future
and try to forget the past, for, as
Thomas Hardy once wrote:
"We ought to feel deep thankful
ness that a happy Providence kept it
from being any worse."
TARIFF BILL A FAILURE.
The Philadelphia Inquirer had the
following editorial on Monday con
cerning the effect of the tariff on
the "high cost of living":
'Winder is coming on and our
sincere hope is that it may not prove
to be a hark-back-to-Cleveland-times
Democratic winter 61 discontent.
Yet the outlook for a cheerful sea
son for many thousands of wage
earners is not altogether brilliant.
For, truth to tell, the Wilson-Underwood
near-free trade bill already
promises to be a dismal failure.
Food is going up in price and
with a Democratic administration
bespangled with glittering promises
ensconced in the White House, at
that!
Around Pittsburg the iron and
steel mills are reducing forces, go
ing upon part tlnle or closing alto
gether. And this In spite of the
threats of a Democratic administra
tion to Investigate and punish just
such cases.
In Philadelphia there Is reduction
of time in some of tho textile mills.
Uncertainty is the factor, for the
tariff on wool Is not removed until
December 1 and the duties on wool
en goods are not reduced until a
month later. But wholesalers are
not laying in domestic stocks.
It goes without saying that no
American manufacturer is going to
close down If he can possibly keep
his machinery running, but ho has
got to face heavy Importations from
abroad. If tho wholesaler can make
more money by purchasing abroad
he will do so. He hasn't any senti
mental notion about the American
mills, ,
It must be beginning to dawn up
on the minds of many of those who
supported Wilson, or made Wilson's
election possible by following the
Roosevelt bolt, that tho public has
nothing to gain from the tariff leg
islation. Food is coming In free
right now, but the contents of the
market basket aro costing more than
a year ago. And if manufactured
goods from abroad come In at much
lower duties, It Isn't the purchaser
that is goiRg to benefit. Tho for
eign manufacturer and tho Importer
will divido tho profit. Tho con
sumer will pay Just as much for
clothing, hosiery, gloves for every
thing else that he buys.
So what has the' country gained
'by the change of administration?
An un-Amorlcan, detestable, class-
w. w. wood
breeding, Idiotic income tax. That is
all. And for this, desperate chances
aro being taken with American la
bor. THE NORTH POLE BOOK FREE
TO CITIZEN READERS.
Tho controversy over tho Cook
Peary claims of prior North Pole dis
covery has broken out afresh, and
the Are will not die down now un
til Congress, acting for tho United
States government, has gone over
both claims in a way that shall at
least give Dr. Cook the benefit of a
square deal.
Dr. Cook has written one of the
most .remarkable books evor pub
lished in which ho gives in inciden
tal detail
His trip to the Pole,
His return from tho Pole,
His story of the ascent of Mt. Mc
Kinley, Why he secreted himself for so
long and did not try to answer his
critics, etc.
In this book for the FIRST time
Dr. Cook tells his own story. The
Dr. has never made a "confession,"
and he tells in his book a marvelous
story of suffering and injustice.
Dr. Cook is practically a Wayne
county man. His home is just across
the Delaware river in tho town of
Callicoon. An air line from Hones
dale to Callicoon is only a trifle more
than fifteen miles. That is one rea
son 'Why Wayne county people are
interested in their homo man.
Tho Citizen publishes an adver
tisement of Dr. Cook's book on an
other page. Only a faint idea of the
book itself is given in that adver
tisement. The Citizen does not pro
pose to sell the book outright, but
will actually give- it nwny to NEW
subscribers who pay for a year's sub
scription in advance, and to all OLD
subscribers who pay up all ar
rearages and one year In advance.
Tho book cannot be bought by
our readers from tho publishers for
less than one dollar. Every mem
ber of your family will be pleased
and more than pleased with this
present from Tho Citizen.
After having passed successively
through tho stages of "tottering,"
"crumbling," "disintegrating" and
"collapsing,1" the Huerta adminis
tration still seems able to sit up and
take a little nourishment and con
tinue its policy of giving Undo Sam
his dally amount of back talk.

LIGHT.
Tho new process of making artifi
cial daylight at night Is quite simple
according to Arthur St. George
Joyce. All that Is needed, he ex
plains, aro two color screens and a
strong incandescent light. Then the
artificial light rays aro passed
through the screens, which draw out
the excess of colorings that aro for
eign to daylight, and there remains
pure, truo and unvarying daylight.
Various cabinets, lamps and lights
to produce daylight have 'been manu
factured, but none have stood the
test, continues tho writer. In this
latest invention a cabinet is employ
ed. This cabinet is constructed In
various sizes, but the one which is
most convenient is eighteen inches
deep, thirty inches wide and twenty
eight inches high.
An Incandescent gas light Is plac
ed at tho top of tho cabinet. There
is a metal reflector to throw tho light
downward through the delicate
screens which filter out the rays of
red, orange and yellow which are
foreign to daylight except In a small
way. In order words, the screens
extract from the light excesses of
these colors.
The invention has a great field of
usefulness in surgery and certain in
dustries. Surgeons depend upon the
color of the tissues to tell whether
they aro diseased or not. A great
deal of surgery Is done at night. In
artiflcal light the tissues havo not
their true color. The Invention will
remedy that in that operations may
be performed by aid of daylight at
any hour of tho night.
In textllo manufacturing, dyeing
and color printing, daylight at night
will have many uses. In color print
ing, for instance, the presses can be
run only as long as tho ink put in
by daylight lasts. With the aid of
tho invention presses can bo run all
night. In the sorting of cigars it Is
impossible to tell their color by ar
tificial light. Likewise In dental
work tho exact color of artificial
teeth cannot bo determined at night.
In paper manufacturing and in tho
manufacture of flour daylight is
needed to differentiate the various
grades.
"DON'T FIRE
OVER LINE
TO ELPASO"
Is U. S. Warning to
the Mexicans.
FIERCE FIGHT ON.
Biggest Engagement Since
French Invasion.
FEDERALS ARE PUSHED BACK.
Smoke of Battle Crosses Line Federal
Commander Is Reported Killed Gen
eral Villa Winning Hundreds Killed
In Desperate Encounter.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 20. Major Rob
ert E. L. Mlchle, acting commander of
the Second United States cavalry, sent
formal notices to General Pnncho Vil
la, commander of tho Constitutionalist
forces now engaged in battle with n
federal nrmy In tho vicinity of Juarez,
and to Miguel E. Diebokl, inspector of
consulates for the Mexican govern-
mem 111 rji j. iibu, mill luuy uiusl bu
conduct operations as not to bring any
part of tho territory of tho United
Stiites under fire.
The use of bullets, shells, shrapnel,
bombs or other projectiles or explo-'
qlves by either of the contending Mex
ican forces In such n manner as to en
danger life and property within the
limits of tho United States must be
prevented, otherwise "effectives meas
ures" will bo taken, Major Michlo's
notice said.
The smoke of battle hung over El
Paso all day. At times it was Impos
sible to distinguish objects a block
away. Tho firing of the contending
forces oould be plainly heard.
After a twenty-six hours' battle
Pnncho Villa's rebel defenders of Ju
arez held all positions that they held
at the time of tho federal assault, and
In addition had driven the federals
back In several places. Tho rebels
clnlmod to have captured three field
pieces and 200 prisoners during the
fighting, but said nothing of their own
losses.
Villa himself telegraphed his head
quarters that lie had captured tho guns
nnd prisoners, and) Americans coming
out on a hand car confirmed the fact
that Villa had a number of prisoners
In his possession.
Hundreds Killed.
Tho federals made desperate efforts
during tho day to break through tho
rebel ranks or turn the rebel flanks,
but failed. The fighting opened with
the federals on tho left or eastern
flanks of tho rebels, but nfter fighting
all morning twelve miles east of Jua
rez, opposite Ysleta, Tox., tho federals
were forced to fall back. Then in the
middle of the afternoon a desperate ef
ort was made to charge and break
through the rebel center, and the fed
eral artillery was used to greater ef
fect, the shells falling closer to Juarez
than any other time of tho fight, but
without sufficient effect to get into
Juarez. Hundreds of dead aro on the'
battlofleld. Tho rebels claim the feder
als havo lost GOO men. The rebels ad
mit losing nbout GOO men. It Is gener
ally believed that tho .loss In dead and
wounded Is nbout equal, probably 800
or 000 killed or wounded.
Only about a hundred wounded were
In Juarez, but at the time that Villa
sent his message to his chief of staff,
Juan N. Medina, claiming a victory
nnd the capture of 200 federal prison
ers and three Held pieces ho asked for
trains to bo sent to bring In more,
wounded. The fields nre strewn with
the dead and dying, with no doctors to
enro for the Injured. One train
brought forty-five wounded. The "dead
aro left on the field. It was reported
that General Salazar was killed.
"ALL QUIT AT TUXPAN."

Agullar had taken measures to see that
tho action of his troops should not be
a subject of complaint.

PRESENTS ARE MADE MOWN.
First Announcement of the Important
Gifts Many Freak Donations, In

and Onions Sayre Family
Present Ancestral Mirror.
Washington, Nov. 20. The destina
tion of Mr. and Mrs. Francis 1$. Sayre
on their honeymoon trip is shrouded
in mystery, nnd efforts to learn where
tho White House bride nnd groom
were going were fruitless.
Up to tho time of their departure not
a word had been whispered from tho
White House. They would spend their
honeymoon on tho president's yacht,
tho Dolphin; they would spend it on
tho Mayflower; they wore going to
Mr. Say re's ranch in Montana; they
wero going to spend tho honeymoon
quietly in the Pennsylvania town
where they met; Delaware Water Gap,
Palm Beach, Bermuda and tho West
Indies were all on the list, unofficially
announced nnd impossible of confirma
tion. No one about tho White Houso.
either members of the president's fnm
lly or the official staff, 'lias any knowl
edge of tho whereabouts of tho bride
and groom. Tho secret is locked close
In the breasts of four people, a rosy
faced chauffeur, Dr. Wilfred T. Gren
fell and tho bride nnd groom them
selves.' It Is generally presumed that
tho car scudded over into Maryland
nnd Mr. nnd Mrs. Sayre have hidden
themselves away in some friend's
home.
Announces Presents,.
It Is seldom that an American bride
receives such a multiplicity of wedding
presents ns has Miss Jessie Wilson..
From high nnd low, from powerful
and Inconspicuous, through kinship,
friendship, admiration for a successful
career in the field of socinl service,
and just for the simple love of giving.
Miss Jessie Wilson has been the re
cipient of tokons valuable and value
less from every quarter of this coun
try and from every rank of its citizen
ship. Except for the purposes of the ac
knowledgment of this myriad of dona
tions by tho bride herself probably
no one will ever see or know the com
plete list of the White House wedding
presents. The following is n list of
tho more Important or tho most prized
by the bride:
From the president of tho Unltod
States nnd .Mrs, Wilson, a dining room
set of solid mahogany

ver tray of Louis Quinze design, nnd
from Mine. Jusserand, n silver flower
vase.

Countess von Bernstorff, a pair of an
tique sugar shakers.
From the Italian ambassador and
Marchioness Cusani Gonfnlonierle, four
Etruscan candlesticks of silver.
From the Russian ambassador and
Mme. Bnkhmoteff, an amber umbrella
handle set with Jewels.
From tho Spanish ambassador and
Mme. RInno, a vase of hammered So
vlllo silver.
The supremo court of the United
States sent a largo silver filagree cen
terpiece in the shape of a bowl with
a raised flower holder of wrought sii
vcr. Tho United States senate sent a solid
silver tcaset, comprising a water ket
tle, trny, chocolate pot, Ice cream dish,
two corapotiers nnd Jour candlesticks,
all of colonial pattern, nnd tho tray en
graved with tho dedication to tho
bride.
Tho houso of representatives sent a
canary colored diamond set in the
form of n lavnlliere, in which eighty
flvo smaller diamonds set in platinum
embellished -the central stone.
Mr. Sayro's family presented the
brido with nn antique mirror, which
,for moro than 100 years hashung over
tho fireplace in tho nncestrnl homo of
the Sayres in Pennsylvania.
In addition to nil of tho foregoing
there fiiive been numberless donations
of n moro or less freakish character,
notably in this list nro two rag car
pets, a sewing machine, n fifty pound
cheese, five bushels of Bermu'dn on
ions, six boxes of soap, two wnshtubs.
a washing machine, coal scuttles,
brushes, palls and mops, a bushel of
black walnuts, a barrel of apples, a
barrel of potatoes and a cook book.
And besides nil this, tho Rev. W. J.
