An Unwritten Law.

Editor Citizen:
1t is an unwritten law in politics,
and one that is very generally OBJ
served, that when person has held
public office for two consecutive
terms, either by election or appoint
ment that he should give way for
successor. The old board of County
Commissioners having served the
proverbial two terms will be sue
ceeded by Board composed entire
ly of new members, on January l,
1912. 1t is therefore presumable
that in accordance with the above
rule new selections will be made
when the Board of County Commits
sioners take up the matter of ap-
pointment to positions under their
control.
l take pleasure in recommending
to the consideration of the incoming
Board the name of Homer Greene,
Esq, for appointment as counsel to
the Board. Mr.. Greene's appoint
ment would without doubt give gen
eral satisfaction to the citizens Of
the county, and would be grateful
acknowledgement by vast major
ity of them, regardless of party af-
filiation, that the Board intended to
continue adherence to business-like
administration in the interest of the
people. No person doubts the legal
attainment and strict integrity of
Mr.. Greene, and they must at the
same time recognize his courteous,
affable and honest manner in dealing
with all persons with whom he may
have business or social relations.
Very truly yours,
HONESDALE VOTER.

Would Give General Satisfaction.

Editor Citizen:
Having heard that Homer Greene,
Esq, of Honesdale, was likely to Sc
cure the appointment of attorney for
the Commissioners for the coming
three years, wish to write to state
that this choice would give very
general satisfaction in our commun-
ity. We all have very high opin-
ion of Mr.. Green's ability, honesty,
and integrity.
If there is to be a change in the
counsel, as it seems only proper,
there should be, in order that the
different attorneys may share in this
plum, it is surely only proper that
Mr.. Greene should have the office. He
is thoroughly qualified and his long
service to the Republican party de-
serves recognition.
Very truly yours,
DAMASCUS REPUBLICAN.

Caught by Gust Of Wind.
Just as the airship cleared the shed
a violent gust of wind drove her back
against the entrance. At the impact
several of the balloonettes burst and
the released gas destroyed her equilib-
rum.
The army of men at the guide ropes
chung on desperately, but were power
less against the wind, and another
gust lifted the airship bodily and she
dropped on the roof of the shed, her
back broken and her hull left dangling
over one edge.
In this position the crew and pas
sengers, rudely shaken. but not sert-
ously injured, were left helpless until
a fire brigade. hurriedly summoned to
the scene, ran their ladders to the
top of the balloon shed and pulled
the marooned ones out of the wreck.
Parts Of Wrecked Ship Used.
, The Deutschland was built to re-
place in the passenger airship service
the earlier craft of the same name
which went to her end In the Teuto-
burglar forest on June IS last. The
motors and the vertical steering
planes of the original Deutschland
were saved and utilized In the con-
struction of her successor. The lat
ter made her maiden fight on March
30 last, and had since made a number
of successful trips.
