extremely complex and productive of
some mighty warm times. On top Of
all this the city election will take
place the coming spring, while the
summer will be spent in contests for
senatorial and congressional jobs,
with at least two candidates for the
democratic nomination to the latter
office, living here.
The republicans appear TO be ar
rayed in a. solid phalanX and will
vote her straight" in both the spring
and fall elections, their only dispute
at present being over the qualifica-
tons of two candidates for the prcsi-
Dental nomination-and this matter
will be settled at the convention on
March 10.
But on the democratic side three
rings and two platforms are kept in
action constantly by the performers,
with the top of the tent completely
filled with aerial artists who gyrate
for the edificaticn of the delighted
onlookers.

From New York comes the report
that the final payments have just been
made on the acreage known as the
Robinson deal, comprising 10000 acres
of oil leases principally in the neigh

consummatcd involved consideration

through by Charles f. johnson, ~ the
firm Of Hennig & johnson, of ST.
Louis, on the one hand, and French
attorneys on the other, This deal has
hung on for some months while the
titles were being adjusted and much
speculation has existed regarding the
final outcome.

Pave Roads For HOneSdaIe Will Be The Making of
The Town
Borough Has Expended Mint in Dirt Roads,
Traffic Heavier Main Street Than Lacka-
wanna Avenue, Scranton--Property Will Be
Enhanced in Value.

improvement to the town council.
Main street of Honesdale is the
principal thoroughfare of the town.
All of the heavy truckage passes
over it and the necessity for a more
solid road is apparent. During the
business hours of day an average
of 20 vehicles pass a given point
every minute which is more than on
Lackawanna avenue in the city of
Scranton. 1t is therefore evident
that something more substantial
than dirt should constitute the road.
The borough's statement shows
that during the past three years
from $4,000 to $4,000 have been
expended for cracked stone, cart
age, labor and machinery used in
the construction and repair of same.
Besides this other amounts have
been spent year after year since the
time of laying out the town. What
might have been accomplished ?
Simply that for the money paid out,
every street in the borough of Homes
dale, Texas township included, could
have been paved with brick. There
is no reason why Honesdale cannot
have paved streets like other towns
many of which are smaller in size
than the home town.
There is no need for tearing up
the street if new pipes were laid
from the water main to the curb be-
fore, which would necessitate an ex-
pense of about $40 or less. This diff
ficulty might be overcome entirely
by laying a lead pipe, which might
cost a little more than galvanized
iron, but when laid would last life
time, as it does not corrode.
The Citizen earnestly endorses the
action of the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade in accepting the
Street and Highway committees re-
port recommending that Main street
be paved. This paper is always il
favor of civic improvements and thai
which stands for the progress, ad
vancement and development o.
Honesdale.
The petition will next be present
ed to the council by the Highway
committee of the Board of Trade.

The most popular question before
the American people to-day is the
problem of building better roads,
During the past few years, in almost
every community in both the metro
politan and rural districts there has
been developed a manifest desire to
get out of the mud" Natural con-
ditions contingent upon municipal
environment compel the building of
sewers and permanent pavements for
sanitary as well as other reasons in
cities and large towns. In the rural
district, the automobile and the per-
manent roadway make a combina-
tion that, figuratively speaking, ami
hilates distance and brings together
both ends of a long road. The use
of the passenger elevator in large
buildings made possible the Masonic
Temple in Chicago; just so the use
of the automobile on a permanent
roadway would make the broad eY-
panse of western Kansas prairies
partake somewhat of the nature of
suburbs of Kansas City. Nobody
knows this better than the dwellers
of the rural districts, for it is said
in Kansas that 6S per cent. of the
automobiles owned in the state be-
long to farmers.
The use of the automobile has not
spread to that percentage among the
farmers in Wayne county, but not
withstanding their apparent scarcity
in the rural districts, better roads are
being obtained. Within few years
the country districts will have the
best roads in the state. 1t will not
only enhance the value of the farms
adjacent to these roads but will be
the means of developing Wayne
county.
Honesdale, a town that has been
on the map since the days of the
turning of the wheels of the first
locomotive in America, which oc.
Cured here SO years ago, still has
dirt roads. This old town has finally
decided that a brick or block pave
will be the making of it, consequent.

through the Street and Highway
committee, has recommended this

enues of trees. Utrecht has two rows
of trees on either side of its quaint
canals. It's canal banks are construct
ed as If in two stories. The lower story,
almost flush with the water level, is
lined with warehouses and vaults,
while the upper story has dwellings
and shops.
Not only do shady walks tempt peO-
pie to enjoy the open air, but the liv-
ing roots in the soil have a purifying
effect, which was by no means to be
despised in the past, when the drain
age Of Dutch towns left much to be
desired. Further, the foliage produces
ozone and purities the air. 1t also
tends to keep the air moist and TO
temper the wind, thus causing less
dust to he blown about In the au-
tumn the fallen leaves give the same
kind of service that is given by tea
leaves scattered on a floor when the
room is to be swept-they lay the dust.
More important still, trees wage war
upon noXious bacteria, for investiga,
tions by scientists show that these
harmful growths are comparatively
rare where trees are plentiful. Be-
sides all this, the aesthetic value OF
beautiful trees certainly is not small.
In Holland all these useful services
are gratefully recognized and the trees

And the sob reporter wrote a yarn that
was destined to make you cry,
And those who read said ITS too bad

came from the prison cell,
And the man, released said: ION your

But the people" the sob reporter said.

And the man leaned back in his Limousine
