FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1912.
At HOME AGAIN.

We feel sure our friends will re-
joice with us in the fact that we have
gotten back into our own house. On
the 9th of March fire destroyed our
plant, stock of stationery and the
building. We have rebought, and re-
built and entered again upon the con-
duct OF our enterprise. For two
months we have lived from hand to
mouth. The paper has had little at
has had little attention from any one
in so far as the editorial department
is concerned But we have made out
some way. In the meantime we have
in fact it is new from end to end;
our linotype is operating, onr new
presses are in operation, our motors,
meters and everything else is oper-
ating. We feel quite proud of our
achievement. AS matter of fact
it took considerable hustling to do
what has been done in the -brief-two
months. We can show you better
than we can tell you, and we hope
every one who sent i'm that dollars
renewal will come and see our new
linotype and other new machines.
In fact. we will be pleased to show
You what it really takes to make a
first class newspaper, even if it is
only weekly. We are now putting
i'm the best line of stationery and of
flee supplies that we could find. Just
after the fire we sold nine thousand
tablets in three dayS-enough, it
would seem, to stock Union county
for six months, but we have had
calls for more, so we have on the
road nice line of school tablets,
writing tablets, legal tablets-in fact
almost anything you would wish in
the line of stationery.
No, gentle reader, it has taken
some hustling to do these things and
YET not miss single issue. We ad-
NIT that there was some lack in the
newspaper service, but it came each
week and came on time. This week
has been the hardest of all. Every
thing turned up side down, every
thing new, and, therefore, running
poorly, but you just wait!
One thing we must say: We have
exchanged our old press which was
out slightly damaged, for new,
up-to-datc press. We trust you will
come in sometime and see it run. 1t
is Joy fer ever, for it is thing
Of beauty. Then, too, we exchanged
our old folder for a better one. We
can fold newspapers, pamphlets or
any old thing now, and the best of
it is we can do these things at a
rate impossible with our former
equipment.
In our job work department we
have made many improvements The
latest type, the best machinery and
the best material TO be used will
combine In enabling us to give our
patrons their moneys worth. En-
ve!opcs, letter heads, bill heads,
statcmcnta-all kinds Of commercial
printing we are ready to do, in
fact we are now doing. There is
just one thing more: Before we put
IN the linotype we could not print
briefs. We have frequently been
asked to do this kind of work, but
had TO say: "We are not prepared
to do it," Now we can truthfully
say we are as we'll prepared to do
it as anybody and to do it quickly.
There are many more things that
we would very much like to say, but
fear our readers will not be inter
cSted. Come see us after reconstruc- |
tion. We feel sure you will agree
with us in the belief that even de-
feat may be turned into victory.

FRESH AIR FUND.

Have you given to the Fresh
Air Fund or have you offered to
take one or two little boys or girls
for a couple of weeks, away from
the noise, the filth and heat of New
York city? Thirty-six thousand
windowless rooms in New York.
Boys and girls who do not know
what a breath of pure, fresh, sweet
mountain or country air means, who
have never seen the buttercups and
daisies, the green meadows and fields
of corn, the sheep or cows, never had
a backyard or little patch of green
to play in, who have never known
what good table food means, who
have never had a delicacy; whose
faces are drawn and gaunt with want
and not enough to eat. The Fresh
Air Society of New York sends out
twelve thousand or more of these
poor little boys and girls for two
weeks each Summer; the children
are given clean clothing, after an
examination by a physician that the
boy or girl are not suffering with a
contagious or malignant disease, and
then their fares are paid to Homes
dale or elsewhere where a family has
agreed to receive and care for them
for two weeks. A couple of car
loads have been provided for in this
part of the state, and we should be
glad to have a great many readers of
The Citizen send word to Rev. w. III.
Swift. ID. D., or The Citizen that
they will take a couple of children.
You will be glad of any sacrifice you
will make when you see how happy
your little guests will be, and you
will regret to part with them. You
will learn what the poor children
of big city really have to undergo,
and what happiness you have
brought into their life.

THAT LITTLE BOY BJTE" OF
YOURS.

The little toy dog is covered with
dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier in red with
rust,
And the musket moulds in his
hands.
Time was when the little toy dog
was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Lit
tie Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there
Now don't you go till l come" he
said,
And don't you make any noise!"
So, toddling off to his trundle bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And, as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Oh! the years are many, the years
are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting the long
years through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them
. there.
Somehow, when we read these
pretty verses of Eugene Field, we
can't help but think of the Little
Boy Blue-and there will be many
of him who will be offered as a
sacrifice on the altar of misdirected
patriotism next Thursday, the
Fourth of July.
There are so very, very many
homes in which little toy dog and a
little rusty tin soldier stand waiting
the long years through for the Little
Boy Blue who will never come.
There are so many other homes in
which a Little Boy Blue lives eter-
nally in the gloom of night because
daylight ceased for him in a sudden
flash of Fourth of July powder.
And there are the Little Boys, too,
and the Little Girls, who are MANNED
and crippled because of this foolish
idea that to be patriotic and to OBJ
serve the Fourth of July means that
we must play with danger.
The number of deaths as a result
of our Independence Day celebrations
has been decreasing for number of
years because of the agitation for a
safe and sane observance, but the
death list is still a long one and the
list Of injured is larger than would
result from a battle between armed
foes.
Let us keep our Little Boy Blue
with us. Let us not have occasion to
feel a deep sorrow when we see a
little toy dog, all covered with dust
and a little tin soldier, red with
rust, awaiting the touch of a little
hand that is still and the smile of a
little face that is gone forever.
Let us have a really safe and sane

least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posi-

cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and

thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-

its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers

1t Lives!

Men may come and men may go,
but the reputation lives on for
ever.
Bosses may rise and bosses may
fall, but the Republican party will
survive and go on to final victory.
Presidents may win and Presi-
dents may lose, candidates may
quarrel and platforms may be per-
verted, but the rank and the file of
the voting masses ultimately will
come to a sound decision.
This nation was not born in a
day. 1t was the outcome of a long
and bitter struggle. 1t survived the
shock of war with other nations. 1t
came out of its civil strife chastened
and strengthened.
1t has passed through many
waves of adversely. 1t has swept
away obstacles that seemed insur-
mountable. 1t has overthrown
demagogues and demolished dis
turbers. 1t will do it again.
Once more it is being put to the
test. Experimental theorists, self
demOgogues are having their day.
Whether it will be a long or a short
one depends upon the common sense
of the American people.
Are all the lessons taught by the
bitter experiences of the past to go
for naught and be forgotten? We
hope not. We believe not.

Don't Like It.

William T. Greasy, Master of the
Pennsylvania State Grange, in an ad-
dress at Carlisle recently before
Cumberland grangers, attacked the
system under which the Sproul road
bill is being carried out. and declared
that it will be difficult for the state
to maintain the roads it is taking
over.
mo wide tire law can be enacted
to keep the State highway in good
condition." he said, for all the
roads will not be uniform, the high
ways not yet taken over by the State
lacking improvement. A better
method would be for the State to
give the townships up to $40 a mile
for roads they are improving. In
this way the farmer would be taken
care of, for then the roads to the
markets, the creameries, and the
railroad stations would probably get
uniform attention"
The grangers unanimously sup
port the Sproul act, but are opposed
to the manner in which it is being
carried out.

as we'll as all other kinds. For
adult patriotism, oratory may suf-
fee; but this is not satisfying to the
youth of the land. In the legit-
innate interests of boyhood and girl
hood, things equally brilliant and
satisfactory must be substituted for
the noise, the flare and the varicolor-
ed flame; and substitutes even more
resplendent have been found in
abundance. We have now methods
by which the Fourth shall cease to
be a day of terror, and shall become
instead one of happiness, recreation
and enlightenment. Noise is now
being replaced by music-the music
of bands, and Of choruses drilled
weeks beforehand by skilled leaders,
and the singing of national airs and
popular songs. There are tableaux,
plays, floats devised by artists, rep
resenting historic and patriotic Incl
dents and achievements; parades in
which the Army and Navy, the police
and fire departments, the militia,
school children and industrial or
ganizations take part; picnics with
circuses and pink lemonade, pea
nuts, ice cream and watermelon suf-
ficient to satisfy the most anacon-
dean digestion; parks and other pub
lie places and buildings, both pub
lie and private, gorgeously illuminat-
ed by electricity; children's carnivals
and dances; school celebrations; ath-
letic sports, with distribution of cop
les of the Constitution, and so on.

killings, no lockjaw!

LET'S HAVE A SAFE AND SANE
FOURTH.

Each year since 1903 The Journal
of the American Medical Association
has been waging propaganda
against the insenate manning and
death-dealing methods of celebrating
our independence holiday. 1t has
gathered and collated the indubitable
facts; and the lay magazines
and newspapers-have seconded its
endeavors so that an almost revolu-
tionary change has been taking
place.
1t is gratifying to observe that
more and more the constituted au-
thorities have recognized that it is
their duty to prevent the burning
and the crippling of children and
their death from lockjaw by pro-
hibiting the sale of fireworks and
like destructive agencies. Official
appreciation of this fact is evidenced
by the enactment and enforcement of
appropriate ordinances. Many Off
cials have in the most salutary way
co-operated with non-governmental
agencies interested in the safe and
sane Fourth. Legislation against
fireworks has been restrictive or
prohibitiye. The latter, of course,
gives the best results.
In European countries occasions
akin to our Independence Day are
commemorated by means of fetes
and other picturesque ceremonies,
quite adequately, just as heartily
and with as much patriotic fervor as
amoung us. Continental peoples
have a genius for festivities, national

Tribute to Taft.
(Fronl

(From the Rochester Democrat
Chronicle.)
Mr.. Taft labored under certain OBJ
vious disadvantages in the campaign
for the nomination. 1t is to be re-
called to his honor now that in the
most trying hour he held steadfast
to the principles which he believed
to be right. He believes in the safe
guards provided by the Constitution
for the maintenance of order and the
protection of all citizens in their
rights. He believes in upholding
the integrity of the courts. He be-
lieves that the Government possesses
ample power to grapple with every
evil that changing conditions may
develop. His candidacy will there
fore appeal to those who have watch
ed the rising tide of radicalism with
concern, and who desire to see it
checked.

More About the Fish.

MIR. Editor:
Can you tell me why the State al
lows hundreds of fish to be killed
by the running of poison into our
streams (local rivers included), but
If a boy who might be ignorant OF
the law, as to the size of a fish is
caught, arrested and a heavy fine
placed upon him?
OF course, if they continue to
dump the poison into the river
there will not be a partical of ac-
quatic life from Dyberry to the Della
ware Bay, but after that date, when
all the fish are dead, they must stop
killing the rest of them. Then the
fish commission will begin to stock
the river with fish, and after a LAPSE
of about eight years there will
again be fishing in the Dyberry,
Lackawaxen and Delaware rivers.
Meanwhile, boys who catch an un-
dersized fish are dealt with without
mercy. But-oh, well.

A TREACHEROUs PROPOSITION.

One of the most commendable
things that Colonel Roosevelt has
done politically-and he has done
many commendable things-was to
decline the suggestion of certain of
his followers, that he should still
pose as a Republican, after the
break with his party at Chicago, and
after his declared intention to give
battle to it's candidates and princi-
pies. The Coloners own idea is
that he should head an absolutely
new and independent party, cutting
entirely loose from the Republican
organization. This is the proper
and honorable thing to do if he feels
the necessity of being a candidate
for the presidency in opposition to
the Republican platform. 1t is still
whispered however, by those coming
from consultation at Oyster Bay that
there is to be an attempt to hold the
Republican electors for Roosevelt in
states like Pennsylvania where they
were named by state conventions con-
trolled by the Roosevelt forces. We
cannot believe that this plan has the
sanction of Colonel Roosevelt.
While he is capable of calling on his
followers to support him at the sac
rifice of their political fortunes, it is
not conceivable that he will demand
of them the sacrifice of their politi-
cal honor. Electors were named in
Pennsylvania by a Republican state
convention, to vote for the candi-
dates who should be nominated for
President and Vice-PTesident by the
Republican national convention.
That convention has nominated VIM.
II. Taft and James II. Sherman. 1t
is not conceivable that the Republi-
can presidential electors of this
state will cast their electoral ballots
for anyone else. To do so would be
such a breach of party faith and
honor as this country has never yet
witnessed II any Republican pres
idential elector feels that he cannot
conscientiously cast his electoral
ballot for the candidate named by
the Chicago convention he should
at once withdraw from the ticket
and permit the substitution of some
one who will not hesitate to carry
out the will of his party as that will
has been expressed by the only or
ganized body authorized to express
it, the Republican National Conyen-
tion. Those who would masquerade
as Republicans, at the same time
stabbing the party in the back, are
political traitors. II Col. Roosevelt
and his followers feel that the can
didates and principles of the party as
named and expressed by the conven-
tion should be defeated, it is their
privilege to stand outside and fight
them openly. To direct their at
tack from the shelter OF the party
home while posing as an inmate,
is a scheme of treachery worthy of
the most conscienceless. We do not
believe they will attempt it.

(From the Wilkes-Barre Evening

The Republican party can go be-
fore the country in the 1912 cam
paign without being required to
make any apologies with the Honor
able William Howard Taft as its
standard-bearer. When the smoke
of the primary battle is cleared away
and when sanity takes the place of
the present period of hysteria and
the people have a chance to review
the splendid achievements of Presi-
dent Taft during the three years
that he has filled the Presidential
chair the false accusations and mali
cious assaults that have been made
against him will be forgotten and
the intelligent citizenship of the ma
tions will measure him at his true
worth. No man was more lavish in
his praise of Mr.. Taft a few short
years ago than was Colonel Roose-
welt.
