FltlDAY, DECEJIBER 10, 1013.
THOUGHT FOB TO-DAY.
All men are greater than the
deeds they do,
My love Is greater than your ut
most hate.
Though each thought may strug
gle In his separate cause.
Though we be blind to under
stand the fray,
We shall achieve our brother
hood at last,
For men are greater than deeds
men do.
Louise Fletcher Tarkington, in
Smart Set.
It cost the Bull Moose party in
Massachusetts over $90,000 to elect
a Democratic Governor.
This is certainly not "Christmas
weather" for the coal men. How
over, as they say In "bridge," we are
"content."
It can at least be said of the black
silk shirt for evening dress, which is
tho latest innovation at Harvard, that
It ought to prove a powerful factor
against the high cost of laundering.
The Independent is authority
for the charge that Prendergast nev
er was a genuine "Progressive." It
begins to look as though in order to
bo a "genuine Progressive" one has
first to qualify as a counterfeit re
former. ONLY ONE CITJZEX NEXT WEEK.
The Citizen Publishing company
will Issue but one paper next week,
which will allow our force a few
days' vacation. Owing to the fact
that The Citizen's Christmas edition
was a double number, it will in a
measure make up for the omission
of one paper next week. v
UNEXCELLED AVEATIIER
FOR
SHOPPING.
The weather for the past week has
been unexcelled for Christmas shop
ping. It cannot be depended upon to
last very much longer, therefore
there can bo no better time to do
shopping than at the present time.
Tho roads are also in good condition.
Honesdale stores are filled with
beautiful goods of every description,
Including all kinds of things suitable
for Christmas gifts in greater abund
ance and larger variety than were
ever shown in Honesdale before. Our
merchants are not only abreast with,
but in the front with an excellent
lino of holiday gifts that compare
favorably with those In city stores.
The shopper is surprised when she
enters Honesdale's various stores to
find exactly what he wants, although
she has not made up her mind what
she does want until she sees it at
tractively displayed.
Our florist and dealers in trees and
other greenery are now receiving
their display for the Christmas
trade and theso were never more
attractive than they are now. It is
hardly necessary to urge Honesdale
and Wayne county people to shop
early when all conditions are' so fa
vorable. MOVIES AND MORALS.
The phenomenal popularity of tho
moving picture shows and tho won
derful multiplication of the houses
giving such entertainments Hi this
and other cities call attention to the
need of supervising the character of
the films so promiscuously shown to
the public. The low price of admis
sion attracts hundreds of thousands
of children and the Impressions
made upon their Immature minds un
doubtedly plays a part In tho forma
tion of character. There is suppos
ed to be a sort of censorship over
these pictures, but if one Is to Judge
rom the type of subjects so frequent-
selected It must bo of a very
lose and Incompetent kind. Stories
crime in which the criminal Is
srlfled appear only too often. Train
Ibbers and safe breakers are pre-
Inted in a style calculated to hold
lem up to public approval instead
depicting them as they are, as
boundrels and as enemies of go
aty.
Lin Ohio they have motion picture
isors, and a recent report says that
It of S000 films examined 68 were
Indemned outright and modification
dered In 800 others. Among the
Fenes eliminated were such as re

vealed thugs tying a victim to a
railroad track; an insane butcher
clubbing a helpless old man; a wom
an putting poison in a decanter to
kill her husband; a gang of thieves
thrusting a man into a dungeon and
turning In water from the sewers on
him; a murderer spreading rat poison-on
a slice of bread; a woman en
gaged in the indecencies of the mus
cle dance and a brace of crooks
cracking a safe.
Tho more enumeration of these
subjects should be sufficient to cause
their condemnation. But the pro
jectors of these films evidently
count on tho love for the immoral
and the horrible that lurks in the
minds of some persons, and are will
ing to go to any lengths to obtain the
ready dimes and nickels. Incidental
ly it might be said that the greatest
evil at the present time Is not in the
suggestive pictures but in those that
become an incentive to crime 'by
throwing a halo of romance about
the most despicable criminals.
It need hardly be said that there
are numerous moving picture houses
that give entertainments that are
entertaining and instructive and
against which no reasonable com
plaint can be made. But there are
others that are in urgent need of
drastic censorship. It seems a pity
that an invention which has such
marvelous possibilities for innocent
and lawful amusement should be in
danger of falling into disrepute be
cause of the indifference, the care
lessness or the criminal cupidity of a
few of its promoters. It Is not too
late to mend, though, and If the film
makers and the proprietors of the
shows realize their own best Interests
they will eliminate the objection
able pictures. If they fail or decline
to do this then tho authorities should
step in and do it for them, Phila
delphia Inquirer.
If it is not out of place wo feel
like saying Amen to the above edi
torial. Right here In Honesdale there
ought to bo a censorship committee
which would pass upon the pictures
before exhibited to children. Only a
few days ago there was advertised
a reel that contained "blood curdling
and sensational scenes." They were
nice pictures to exhibit before chil
dren, especially 'before going to bed!
No wonder children who are Inclined
to be nervous cry out in their sleep
and are afraid and want to creep into
bed with mother. The time has come
when a local as well as a national
censor board should be in existence.

CHILDREN HELP RED CROSS
SEAL SALE.
Children are among the most eager
buyers of Red Cross Seals, and many
a little boy or girl sets a real ex
ample of generous giving to tho
"grown-ups." For Illustration, a
teacher In a Massachusetts school
tells of one small, shabby girl who
brought in a penny for a seal, and
the next day purchased another. She
then looked up Into tho teacher's
face with great satisfaction and ask
ed, naively, "There! How many peo
ple do you think that will cure?"
An urchin In another school, after
hearing the teacher explain about
tho Christmas Seals and how all the
money raised by the sale of them
will go toward fighting off the white
plague, came to his teacher's desk
the next morning and bought a
stamp. Then ho lingered, and the
teacher Inquired what he wanted to
ask her.
"Will that really go to glvo medi
cine for sick people and help cure
'em?" he inquired.
"It will help," was the answer.
"Gee, but isn't that fine!" he ex
claimed, his face shining.
AVINS $10,000 PRIZE.
Miss Leona Dalrymple, of Passaic,
N. J., recently recolved a check for
$10,000, with tho notice that she had
won the first prize In a novel-writing
aontest. Miss Dalrymple's story,
which is to be published under the
title of "Diane of the Green Van,"
was one of nearly a thousand manu
scripts offered In the contest. S. S.
McCluro and Miss Ida N, Tarbell
were the Judges, and they agreed In
the selection of Miss Dalrymple's
story.
DOCTORS WANT TO SPEED.
Twenty-six Wllkes-Barro physi
cians have petitioned the council of
that city for the privilege of driving
their automobile at a greater speed
than allowed by the city ordinance.
They agree to carry rdd cross tags
on the front and rear of their outos
and not to oxMfclso the special privi
lege excentJjjfcwering urgent calls.
The editor of The Citizen desires
to make this department a strong
feature of the paper. It can be
made so if the pastors of the various
churches and denominations give
their support by sending contribu
tions of interest to the church and
county. No editorial expressions are
desired. Pastors, give us your hear
ty co-operation.

Rev. Bromley Doing Good AVork.
The current Issue of Zlon's Herald,
Boston, contains an Item which may
be of interest to some of our readers
concerning the Rev. Clinton E. Brom
ley, who was well known in Lacka
waxen, Pa., a few years ago. He" has
been successful in his present pastor
ate which is In Eddington, one of the
suburbs of Bangor, Maine. Since
his pastorate began there, May 1,
1312, the church has been cleared of
debt and recently $1,200 in mort
gages have been burned. There have
been some conversions, and a Home
Department and a Sunday School
Library have been added to the Sun
day school, which is flourishing.
Every department of church activity
seems to be receiving attention. Mr.
Bromley Is a graduate of Drew Theo
logical Seminary and in addition to
his pastorial labors at Eddington has
found time to pursue postgraduate
courses at Bangor Theological Semi
nary covering requirements in vir
tue of which "Drew" has conferred
the degree of "Bachelor of Divinity"
upon him in due form.
Rev. A. L. Whittaker will hold ser
