The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-09-23

THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY,
Fuerth also ran-for a place on
the Keystone ticket.
There are a lot of things in this
life that are far better than money,
but IL generally takes money to buy
them just the same.
Many a man feels he must attract
attention, even though he may have
to make a nuisance of himself to
compass this-to him-laudable am
bition.
The High school girls are going
to devote the whole of Saturday to
this tagging process and they do not
propose to permit any untagged per-
son to escape Look pleasant!
The baseball kicker is off duty
for a few months, but the census
kicker is getting on the job with
both feet. And he's particularly ac-
tive, from all feasible reports, in
Newburgh and Port Jervis!
There was sense of the fitness of
things in that Blair county thief who,
having stolen several dozen fruit
jars from thrifty housewife, came
back a few nights later and stole
all the peaches from the well-bur-
dened trees in her garden.
The chestnut stories will soon be
coming in. And the rankest chest
nut in the basket will, as usual, be
the prediction of a complete Demo-
cratic sweep in a state always good
for a G. o. p. majority running all
the way from 100000 up to the half
million mark.
Needless to say that every Homes
| dale ballplayer, past and present,
along with every now or has-been
fan, will be in evidence Saturday.
when John X. Tener, the man who
rose from the box to a Congress seat
and is shortly to advance from Wash
ingtor to Harrisburg, comes to look
us over.
The gubernatorial boom of the
Hon. William stiles Bennett will not
down. At least, the Port Jervis
papers and the New York Tribune
will not let the Bennett publicity
rest. And by the way, the New
York Tribune comes pretty near
knowing what's what to the minds
of the men who have the most to
say about G.. O. p. nominations on
the other side of the Delaware.
The punsmith can get busy again.
| It's a bit too early to talk once more
about the Gray of the early morn
! ing as applied to Democratic nation
! al convention hopes in Delaware, but
| Hoke Smith has once more won a
| fight for governor of Georgia. We
must soon expect to hear about
Hoax" Smith, and "Hokesmith," "
and "Hocus Pocus" Smith-three
names freely applied to the old
friend of Grover Cleveland and Dan
Lamont and Dan Manning whenever
he pokes his aggressive Fulton coun-
ty nose into the limelight of Peach
tree state politics.
| Col Joe Daniels, Democratic ma
! tional committeeman from North
Carolina, ardent Bryanite, and edi-
! tor of the Raleigh News and Observ-
er, long one of the Bryan journalistic
stalwarts in the Tarheel state, is
rather sanguine that Gov.-to-be Hoke
Smith of Georgia may be the logi-
cal man for 1912, when a Southern
Democrat might we'll be placed on
the ticket, for vice-president any
how, perhaps for the higher office. "
At last we can see the weakening
of the Bryan fences in the two Caro-
linas-states that stuck fast to, the
Nebraska spellbinder when Georgia
and Virginia, two far more intelli-
gent commonwealths, refused to
stomach the fallacious Bryan theo-
ries of government any longer.
| When Joe Daniels, the personal
crony as well as political supporter
of the thrice-belted knight of the
Platte country, goes looking else
where for 1912 timber, we can
readily understand that the final
grave of Organism has been dug in
! the states that lie below the PotO-
mac and the Ohio. 1t is, of course,
! quite too early in the game to COM
pute the electoral college strength
| of Hoke Smith, who might or might
not annex votes to the 151 that are
ordinarily supplied by the solid
South; but Hoke Smith could not
! give us any less of a run for our
money than Mr.. Bryan did in 1908
or would in 1912. That is all that
so far need be said.
