BE JUST AND FAIR TO THE
MERCHANT,

1t is evidently the purpose of the
executive committee in charge of the
Wayne County Celebration to make
all they can on the side from out-of-
town street fakirs, who make it
their business to go from place to
place and dispose of an inferior
grade of goods at remarkably low
prices. 1t does not seem fair to the
home merchant who deals in the
same line of goods and who by the
way may contribute his IS, $40,
SIS or $25 toward the success of the
celebration, to allow an outsider,
a fakir, who by paying a paltry fee
privilege is allowed to sell his wares.
He does not help the town and
without doubt if given the oppor-
tunity to sell carnival specialities
he will go out of the place with
many dollars in his jeans. The Citi-
zen takes the stand for the protec-
tion of the home merchant and in
no way does it intend to throw cold
water upon the project as its news
columns have already pointed out
differently. 1t believes in being just
and fair with the home merchant
and if there is anything 70 be gain
ed let him be the gamer. That Is
what the Business Mems Aasocia-
ton was organized for-to protect
the merchant. Now, will they stand
for travelling fakirs to come to the
town and get the cream of the
business when the celebration was
effected for the purpose of helping
the merchant? We should think
not

FRESH AIR BOY "FREsH."

George Laux, a fresh air" boy is
missing and the Lehigh Valley police
are anxious to find him and return
him to his home in Philadelphia.
For four years the boy spent two
weeks each summer on a farm at
Meshoppen. This year he paid his
fifth visit, but he had changed. In
the years past he had behaved him
self. But this year he was a very,
very naughty boy. He needed a
spanking and the farmer did not
feel inclined to administer it. So,
he sent to Philadelphia and Mrs. C..
V. Valentine went to Meshoppen to
take the boy back home. On a
local train they went to Tunkhan-
mock and there they awaited the ar
rival of a fast train. While waiting
she gave him money with which to
have his hair cut. But whether
or not he has long shaggy yellow
locks or is closely cropped she does

WILSON'S BACCALAUREATE.
(Washington Times.)

Candidate Wilson suffered either
a mental lapse or from force of habit
when he accepted the nomination in
little speech of some few thousand
words. He was supposed-yes, re-
peatedly and pointedly and speciti-
cally urged-to give the Democratic
party an issue. He was to interpret
the Baltimore platform.
In an afternoon of affable asso-
Citations he forgot himself and de-
liyered a baccalaureate address. AS
fighting document it is as useful as
milady's kerchief. The only thing
it matched was the lemonade and
vanilla waters that were served prior
to it's defamation.

Her Color Scheme,

She didn't look so very green,
Except her shoes and hat;
And, let me see, her summer gown
Was mostly green at that.
She was an artist beautiful,
Not twenty, l should say,
And stood before her canvas while
She painted Gloucester Bay.
The clouds were white, the skies
were blue,
The boats were black and white,
The spars were yellow, and the
whole
Produced a wondrous sight.
Alas! she saw not what we saw,
Her sky and clouds were green;
Her boats and wharves, her spars
and sails
The greenest ever seen.
The little tugs, the dories there,
Each object in the scene
Beneath her busy brushes grew
Into a vivid green.
The seine boats and the pleasure
craft,
The lighthouse and the sea,
And cen the snow white gull wing,
Was green as green could be.
o maiden of the green palette
And brush of vivid hue,
How can you see the emerald
When skies are white and blue?
How can a snow white sail be green?
How can it be? Alas!

Her eyes were green as grass!

Philadelphia Press: 1t is in these
desations OF progressives from with
in the Republican party that Senator
La Toilette sees disaster to the por-
gressive cause, and he declares that
" no aid or encouragement should be
given to a third party plan to divide
the progressive vote and destroy the
progressive Republican movement"
If the original progressives who
have been working for a definite re-
suit inside the party, and not mere
ly to further the sensational ambi-
tion OF an individual, feel this way
and it is well known that at least
some of them do-the size and i'm

SAVE THE MAPLE TREES.

Honesdale's maple trees are show
ing evidence of a blight or the eff
feet of June's drought. At any rate
the leaves are dying long before it is
time for them to mature. In some
cases the trees have the appearance
of a heavy frost, all of the leaves
being of an iron color. The leaves
do not fall off. The secretary of
the Board of Trade is in correspond
ence with Professor II. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, Harrisburg, and
after specimen of the leaves and
twigs have been examined a remedy
may be offered whereby the trees
may be saved. Honesdale's maple
trees are the pride of the town and
if any disease fastened itself upon
them it would greatly detraet from
the beauty of the town. BY all
means save the naples.

EXCELSIOR HOSE
COMPANY COMING
Kind Words From Port Jervis.

Kind Words From Port JerViS.
Excelsior Hose Company, No. 5,
of Port Jervis, have received an in
vitation from the committee in
charge of Old Home Week in Homes
dale, the last week in August to be
their guests at a big firemanic dem
onstration on August %. The EX-
celsiors held a meeting last evening
and accepted the invitation. The
fact that the company is going to
Newburgh on a two days trip the
week previous did not diminish their
enthusiasm in the Wayne county
event. Hose will take the Mum
mich Bros. Fife, Drum and Bugle
Corps with them.
A warm friendship exists between
the men of Hose and the Homes
dale firemen. 1t began six years ago,
when Hose was returning from a
three days trip to Carbondale. The
company had a long lay over in
Honesdale on account of the train
service, and the Honesdale firemen,
realizing this kindly asked Hose
to be their guests while in the town
and gave them a fine dinner at the
Allen House.
There was no reason why the
Honesdale firemen should do this
more than that spirit of brotherhood
that prevails in all firemanic organi-
cations, and it was a kindness that
Hose has never forgotten. When
Port Jervis had big firemanic dem
onstration, the men of Protection
Engine Company of Honesdale were
their guests, and at an Old Home
Week in the Maple City a year af-
ter, the Excelsiors again visited
Honesdale. Now their old friends,
the Protection Engine Co., desire
them to come again, and so a dele
cation came to Port Jervis this week
with the nvitation.-Gazette
