1JUSINESS MEN'S CHRISTMAS
EDITION.
With this issue of Tho Citizen the
management takes great pleasure in
presenting to its many readers the
Business Men's Christmas edition.
The paper is filled with attractive ad
vertisements of Honesdale's mer
chants to whom we desire to express
our sincere thanks for their hearty
support and co-operation. The mer
chants made it possible for The Citi
zen Publishing company to issue this
nnely illustrated holiday number.
The advertisements which have been
so carefully written and artistically
displayed are full of suggestions for
Yuletide purchasers. You will make
no mistake In selecting your Christ
mas presents from Citizen advertis
ers, and by all means let Wayne
county people buy of Wayne county
dealers.
In addition to .to-day's regular
eight pages each subscriber Is pre
sented with an eight-page supple
ment. Be sure that you get both
sections. The Christmas reading
matter found on the sixteen pages of
this issue of The Citizen is tho best
that money can furnish. The pic
tures are reproduced from the
world's most famous and distinguish
ed artists, many of which are con
sidered masterpieces. The best way
to preserve these pictures is to save
the whole paper.
There are many feature articles,
handsomely illustrated, which fur
nish excellent reading matter for
young and old, .
PENDERGAST'S DESERTION,
x The most effective argument yet
expressed against a continuance of
tho third party movement In Ameri
can politics Is voiced by William A.
Pendergast, controller of New York,
in announcing his return to the Re
publican party. Since Mr. Pender
gast has been looked upon as one of
Col. Roosevelt's chief lieutenants, to
whom was entrusted the duty of pre
senting the Colonel's name at Chi
cago, his views should have due
weight aa undoubtedly being in ac
cord with the sentiments of thous
ands of other Roosevelt supporters
who see the folly'of trying to beat
the Democrats with a split-up opposi
tion. Mr. Pendergast expresses his
views in these well-chosen words:
No one will dispute that the Re
publican party presents to-day the
most cohesive, effective force with
which to combat the Democratic
party. The question before us is,
shall wo concentrate our strength
upon this most effective fighting
force and make a real effort to carry
the next Congress or dissipate our
strpngth upon unnecessary candi
dacies and organizations? I for one
am emphatically In favor of the first
course, and shall work to accomplish
It. The time has come when there
should be less talk of "Armageddon"
and more thought of the future of
our own United States.
I trust that the Republican party

mittee and proposed national con

vention to bo held in the near fu
ture will exhibit a full appreciation
of tho requirements of the times. It
certainly will do so If it ,is inspired
by the same patriotic spirit which
has always brought It success in the
past.
In this last paragraph is to 'be
found the meat of the cocoanut. It
is true, as Mr. Pendergast says, that
thousands upon, thousands of Pro
gressives are ready to go back to the
old party, but their party must be in
position to encourage them to do so.
Wise leadership was never more es
sential in its history than now. Pol
icies in strictest accord with the be
liefs of the great rank and file must
be adopted. Candidates worthy the
support of every true Republican
must be selected. Thus and thus
only can party success be assured.
While the future Is rosy with prom
ise for a reunited party, the storm
clouds are ever hovering near, ready
to gather as they did with such dis
astrous results 'in 1912.
The recent expressions of Senator
Cummins, in the Saturday Evening
Post, might well be adopted as a
text-book for those who are at the
head of Republican party affairs
and who are looking to It to redeem
the country from Democratic con
trol. Harrisburg Telegraph.

PLAN TO REORGANIZE
AGIUCUITURAIj DEPT.
.Reorganization of the department
of agriculture is foreshadowed in
Secretary Houston's, first annual re
port presented to President Wilson.
A plan to be submitted to congress in
the fiscal estimates for 1916 proposes
to carry out the work of the depart
ment in five or six main groups, such
as research, state relations, rural or
ganization, forest service, weather
and regulation. Such a plan, Secre
tary Houston believes will promote
co-ordination.
Plans for redistrlcting the country
for the enforcement of the pure food
law are announced and the secretary
announces his intention to ask for
authority to prepare amendments to
the pure food law to improve tlle
food supply, protect the public
health and promote uniformity in
food legislation.
Free distribution of seeds by con
gressmen should 'be discontinued, the
secretary recommends. He would
conduct in its stead a constructive
HIE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
With the coming of" the cold weather
and a slight Hurry of snow the first few
days of the present week, tho town
began to take on more of a Christmas
aspect. In fact it made everybody feel
better to see the snow Hying. It seemed
as If nearly everybody had been waiting
for Just such weather before going out
to do their shopping. Business in
Honesdale was quiet last week but not so
this week. Tho business places have- had
all they could do to attend to the steady
stream of trade that comes Into their
stores. Everything adds to the Christ
mas splrlt-and the grouch of the past few
weeks of December has been smothered
under the smile one sees on t,he happy,
cheery faces of, the people on. the main
street at any period of the day. It is
contagious, the smile, and it makes no
difference how you feel when you leave
your home where perhaps something has
gone wrong. It makes no difference If
you have the eternal grouch, It all disap
pears under the spell of this same Christ
mas spirit If you are disposed to look' for
It.
Another thing that adds tone to the
season Is pretty window displays In
nearly all of the business places. All
seem to show more enterprise this year
than in former years In the matter of
window decorations. There are some de
signs that would stand the test of
Broadway and It Is these that proplalm
the fact that Honesdale business men
are progressive and up to date mer
chants. They know that their windows
are their stock in trade. They realize
that it is advertising of a high order. And
the progressive, merchant believes in ad
vertising as he believes in his Bible. He
knows that the shopper invariably looks
at his windows and has formed some
Idea of her purchases therefrom before
she enters his store. We did not mean
to bring the advertising question in this
article, but it is so closely associated
with the display of Christmas goods that
are being shown in the windows of our
leading stores, that It was impossible to
resist the temptation. ,
A word about the business places them
selvesveritable havens of , delightful
things; presents for everybody and above
all the Christmas spirit is manifest in the
tasty decorations and emblems of the
season. '
With this issue of The Citizen wo ex
tend to all our sincere best wishes and
hope that this paper may assist in bring
ing the Joy and happiness of the season
to many hearts.

only been known for about four years.
It feeds on fish from the ocean.
I go to seek the light,
The land of the midnight sun.
Par northward I take my flight
Until endless day has come.
In polar snows make my nest,
Bask in sunshine night and day,
Southward o'er the mountain crest
To polar lands make my way.
Two and twenty thousand miles
I go each year to and fro,
To seek lands of sunshine smiles,
Resplendent In the endless snow.
Eight months In eternal sun.
Four short months of day and night,
Is the yearly course I run
On wing, as I take my flight.
Alone I see the North Star
And each year the southern cress,
Of all living things that are
My range is the most. "
