PENSION ROLL DECREASING.

During the last fiscal year neerly
fifty-five thousand names have been
dropped from the pension rolls of the
government and about thirty-seven
thousand new pensions have been
granted. The explanation of the ad-
dition of so large a number of new
names is that the ovlunteer army was
young. Since we have the new legis-
lation giving practically service
pension a great many who were boys
in '61 are arriving at the age where
they come under the provisions of
the new law and so they are being
given pensions, though they have
never been able to get them before
because of the lack of sufficient evil
dence of disability contracted in the
service or for other reasons.
Congress, too, has been liberal with
the widows of the veterans. There
will be more to do for them as time
goes on. We know of case in this
county where widow of veteran
is unable to get a pension to-day be-
cause she married her late husband
just fifteen days too late to come
within the provisions of the law; yet
she took care of the veteran through
all his declining years ana was a
faithful helpmate to him and is de-
serving and needy if ever a woman
was of the pittance the government
gives to a soldiers widow She must

APPRECIATED BY POLITICAL
OPPONENTS.

While Judge Won Moschzisker is
a partisan candidate for Justice of
the Supreme Court in that he is the
nominee of the Republican party, it
must be a source of profound graft
fication on the part of the Judge
and his friends to note that his fit
ness for the exalted office and his
capability as a member of the legal
profession is recognized and appre-
ciated by representatives of oppos-
ing political interests.
In this connection The Citizen
takes pleasure in quoting the fol-
lowing from that staunch exponent
of the Democratic party, the Phila-
delphia Record:
"On motion of Samuel Dickson,
Esq, the Board of Governors of the
Lawyers Club in Philadelphia
adopted a deservedly approbative
resolution eXtolling the fitness of
the Republican S@Ominee for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court
Robert Won Moschzisker. This ac-
tion should be as gratifying to the
voters of Pennsylvania as to the
subject of encomium at the hands
of his legal brethren. 1t is most
essential that a high standard OF
character and capacity should be
maintained in the election of the
Justices of the Supreme Court. The
naming of Won Moschzisker makes
nHA ctically compulsory the selection
an opposing candidate of equal
greater fitness and ability. The
pocrats could not do better than
to name Samuel Dickson himself
th$ proponent of the commendatory
voN Moschzisker resolution"

NEXT CENSUS.

The way has now been paved by
Congress whereby the Director of
the Census may count noses in the
United States next year. The meas
ure providing the machinery to take
the thirteenth census was agreed to
in the House and Senate, Monday.
The bill appropriating 100000 to
defray part of the cost of the work
had already passed both branches of
Congress. Both bills now go to the
President for approval.
The bill agreed to makes provision
for mechanical equipment and the
appointment of additional employees.
1t reduces the salary of the Director
of the Census from $500 to $1,000
and fixes director at $4,000. AS the
bill originally passed the House the
additional clerks to be appointed in
cident to taking of the census were
to be paid 5000 a year. This was
Increased to $720 by the Senate, but
as the bill becomes law the $500
limit for clerks stands. The amend
ment making an appropriation for
IuS COuSLTuCIlOu Vi d CSuSuo UullulHS 3
was lost in conference.
Preparations will be made at once
for the taking of the census. Super
visors will be appointed and trained
in their work, and beginning January
/, next the enumerators will be nam
ed. 1t is estimated that it will be
necessary to employ about $40 super
visors, who will be assigned as rule
to districts conforming to the Con-
gressional districts. Approximately
10000 enumerators will be employed
in the work. Enumeration will be
begun April Is, 1910. In all cities
of 5000 population and over it must
be completed in fifteen days, but in
country districts enumerators will be
allowed thirty days in which to COM
plete their labors. 1t is estimated
that the thirteenth census will cost
approximately $14,0O0,O00.

Changing Ideas about the
"Day We Celebrate"
THOSE WOULD REFORM MANNER CELEBRATION SAY
THE DAY SHOULD BE KEPT NOT so MUCH IN REMEM
BRANCE FEATS AMERICAN ARMS AS


held banquets at noon and in the
evening, and the celebration was
concluded with the burning of tar
barrels and more salutes from the
ships in the harbor.
Early in the nineteenth century
fireworks began to have place in
the celebration. These were harm
less and simple compared with the
nerve-shattering explosives which
are put on the market to-day. Not
only were they less dangerous and
noisy, but their use was restricted to
a comparatively small number of
people. Those who were unable to
get fireworks out their muskets and
shot them off. Others fired improvis-
ed cannons. Even blacksmiths got
out their anvils and by placing pow
der in little holes were abe to touch
it off so that it made a satisfactory
amount of noise.
With the increase of the noise
came the decrease in the patriotic
orations and prayers. Before the
fiftieth celebration of the day had
been observed noise had almost en-
tirely supplanted oratory.
The question to-day is, How should
the Fourth of July be celebrated? Z?
The manner in which it is celebrated,
many declare, is not in entire keep
ing with the spirit of the day nor
with the comfort and pleasure of the
majority of citizens.
TbncQ u,hn would rofprr, Tho m n =
ner of celebration say the day should
be kept not so much in remembrance
of the feats of American arms as
for the spirit OF liberty and progress.
1t should be true festival without
forgetting the claims of the young.
There should be civic banquets, gath
crings at which the progress made
in all lines during the past year could
be reviewed. There should be ora
tory and speeches in every commun-
ity, with an effort to make the cele-
bration more like the early obser-
vances.
There should be professions, but
they should be less military in char
acter than formerly. And, quite as
important, there should be no mon.
ster concerts and entertainments
where nobody has a good time, but
divers assemblages where every one
can enjoy himself. The day SHOULD
be ushered in with martial music
and sufficient military display to be
in keeping with the spirit of the oc
casion, but orations, feasts and ban
quets, exercises for children anG
public gatherings should be the rea
features of the celebration. In the
evening there should be fireworks
the less noisy and the more specta
cular the better.
When the day is celebrated ir
this way there will be no occasion fol
people of refined taste and sensitive
nerves to leave the city to escape the
noise and crowds, say the reformers
In fact, the celebration just proposed
will attract rather than dispense
them. And if MaXim's new noiseles!
gun is adopted there is no reason
why the problem of safe and SANE
Fourth cannot be solved for al
time.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR ROADS.
Wayne Gets $14,215.85.


Apportionment of the state high
way appropriation among the coun-
ties of Pennsylvania for the coming
year was completed recently at the
state highway department. West
moreland county will receive the
largest amount, $33,4S5. York be-
ing next, with $32,063. Cameron
county gets the smallest appropria-
tion, $1,534. This money is appor-
toned among the counties on the
basis of the number of miles of pub
lie roads in each. 1t is to be expend-
ed under the act of 1908, which pro-
vides that the state shall pay three
fourths of the cost of constructing
Estate roads, and the county and town
ship each one-eight.
The recent legislature appropriated
$1,000,000 a year for the next two
years for state road building, which is
100000 year less than was grant
ed two years ago. OF this amount,
10 per cent is reserved for mainten-
ance of state roads already built, and
the remaining 100000 year is to
be distributed among the counties as
they petition for state roads.
In addition to the distribution COM
pleted recently, the counties that
used all the state appropriation last
Iyear will receive their proportionate
share of the available state money
that was not used by the other coun-
ties, This latter distribution has not
yet been made.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-07-02

The Legislatures of seven States
and the City Councils of scores OF
cities have passed laws prohibiting
the use of fireworks on the Fourth
of July. This adverse legislation,
which begin as early as 1901, has so
swept over the country that the
Fourth of J,HJ celebration this year
will be a redical departure from the
old-time methods of honoring this
auspicious day. The terrible loss of
life that has accompanied every
Fourth of July celebration in recent
years is the cause of this legislation.
The present generation does not
remember that during the latter part
OF the eighteenth century, and even
during the greater part of the nine
teenth, there were no such fireworks
and explosives as are used to-day in
celebrating the anniversary of in
dependence. Our forefathers in knee
breeches and powdered hair cele-
bIated the day chiefly by patriotic
speeches and dinners. Every club,
every society and organization met
around the festive board and honor
ed the day in song and story.
The nature of the speeches and
dlnners varied with the locality, but
in one respect all were the same.
They agreed absolutely in the num-
ber OF toasts. 1t was the custom to
have thirte ntoasts-representi
of course, the thirteen original States.
With the admission of new States
this custom died out, probably be-
cause the banqueters were unable to
drink so much.
parades in the larger towns were
features of the celebration during
the early pears of the Republic, but
the principal part of the celebration
was the banquet and its oratory. In
recent years, however, there has been
a great falling off in the exuberant
Qualities of patriotic oratory and the
day has been celebrated with mere
noise.

1t should not be taken from this
that there was no noise connected

REBUKED BY THE DEMOCRATIC
DICTATOR

Now comes the turn of John A.
Johnson, Governor of Minnesota,
once a promising candidate for a
presidential nomination. He is a
political outcast, all on account of a
veto. He killed bill defining and
classifying the mineral lands of his
state and providing for the taxation
thereof, to the disappointment and
chagrin of Mr.. Bryan, who finds him
guilty of party treason and subjects
him to the extreme penalty of DEM
ocratic law, cutting him off in the
flower of his political youth. No
clearer case of criminality has ever
been established.
By the platform upon which the
Governor ran for reelection, taxa
tion was demanded. AS already
stated, the bill provided for it..
When, therefore, a veto was inter-
posed, the platform, instead of being
respected, was repudiated, flouted,
ignored and treated with contempt.
OF course, no treason could be high
er; no guilt more objectionable.
Fortunately, retribution was swift.
More than a page of the Commoner is
is devoted to the case. 1t declares
the time to be ripe for emphasizing
the doctrine that platforms must not
be disregarded.
In the veto, the Governor made an
effort to justify himself. He describ-
ed the proposed tax as a more or less
uncertain and ill-digested experiment
not fully understood even by its
friends. He charged that it would
violate the fundamental principle OF
Observation-Disclosures that it fail
ed to meet the constitutional require
ments for uniformity. And, lest this
should not convince, he added that
the moral, industrial and practical
effect of the bill would be to strike
a savage blow at the prosperity oi
the great mineral bearing counties Of
the state.
