Finn and His Crowd.

The result at Harrisburg shows
that Finn and his crowd are in con-
troll The uprising of the people
fioated them into power, but they
need not think that the people have
indorsed them, their methods and
their declarations. A minority of the
Republican voters placed them in
power. They have yet to meet the
test of full vote.
If the primary election in this
State showed anything it is that the
people have grown tired of bossism
and the machine slatings of candi-
dates. 1t was not their purpose
merely to trade bosses or to place in
power a new machine Finn and his
crowd riding in on this popular wave
are evidently endeavoring to effect
a close organization and pursue meth
DDS of which the people have grown
sick and tired and have condemned.
Dictation and machine control in
politics are out of date. The signs OF
the time are all against this sort OF
thing. Finn and his crowd may have
their brief day of power, but they
may as well understand that it will
be short Observation-Disclosures Press.

If the platform adopted by the So
called Republican convention at
Harrisburg, under the guidance of
the virtuous Bill Finn and the
unctuOus Van ValkenbuTg, represents
the deliberate will of the people,
sane persons in the Keystone State
will shortly be Obliged to seek refuge
in insane asylums. Never was there
such a tumble of pestiferous nom
sense and sheer drivel from the
Kansas back districts or from the
long whisker days of rankest Popu-
lism. 1t is to be regretted
that Pennsylvania should have been
guilty of the temporary alteration of
which this bOss-controlled conven-
tion and foolish platform are the
visible signs, but Mr.. Taft could
have asked for no greater help for
the nomination than the antics of
this convention, which has demon
strated to the country that peril to
his party and to the government are
the inevitable and necessary results
to be expected from a government

Charter of Democracy. ."-Philadel-

THE STATE TREASURER.

The Citizen regrets that the Re-
publican State Convention did not
see fit to nominate c. Fred Wright
for State Treasurer. He has made
the most efficient treasurer the state
has had for many years. All con-
cede his rare qualifications for the
position, his devotion to his official
duty, and his effective conduct of the
business of the state. Moreover, by
party custom and usuage, having fill
ed the Office by appointment he was
entitled to the nomination. But the
convention thought differently. For
reasons which are obvious to those
who have watched the political cur
rent, and which are in no way de-
rogatory to Mr.. Wright, the conven-
tion saw fit to Withhold from him this
honor. And the decision of the con-
vention on the subject of nomina-
tions is the law of the party.
In default of choosing Mr.. Wright
the convention could probably have
made no better selection than it did.
Robert X. Young is well qualified for
the position. He has already de-
monstrated his capacity by his term
of service as Auditor General. The
Citizen congratulates him on his
nomination, and the convention on
having made so wise a choice. The
Citizen is not of those journals that
can see no virtue in a person or pol
icy not of its own choosing. Mr..
Young is a Republican. He is we'll
fitted for the office to which he as
pires. The Citizen will do all in its
power to further his triumphant
election.

Mrs. Margaret Markey Dead.

Mrs. Margaret Markey, mother of
Charles Markey, of Honesdale, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs
Frank Adams, in Prompton, on
Thursday evening about $50 O'Clock.
Deceased was born in Germany on
May Is, 1928, and was SO years, II
months and II days old at the time
of her death. She came to this coun-
try when a very young girl, coming
direct to Wayne county. She was
married to Mr.. Markey at Seelyville,
when she had spent the greater por-
tion of her life, having just recently
gone to Prompton to live with her
daughter. Her husband preceded her
in death nearly forty-five years ago.
Mrs. Markey was very highly es-
teemed and honored by all who
knew her and associated with her.
She is survived by three children:
One son, Charles Markey, of Homes
dale; two daughters, Mrs. Henry
Som, of Scranton; Mrs. Frank
Adams, of Prompton.
The funeral services were held at
the Adams home in Prompton on
Saturday afternoon, Rev. c. C.. Mil
Ter, of st. Johns Lutheran church,
officiating. Interment was made in
the German Lueheran cemetery.

For a man who loves to talk about
the square deal the Colonel seems to
follow a peculiarly unfair course in
his assaults upon President Taft. 1t
is obvious that the President of the
United States cannot, without i'm
pairing the dignity of his high Of
flee, descend to the methods of cam
paigning permissible to the private
citizen, but T. r. is remorseless in
pushing his advantage and driving
the President to defensive tactics
which are distasteful to him and not
relished by the country. First it was
in Massachusetts, now in Maryland,
and doubtless next in Ohio. But
such an example was hardly neces-
sary to impress upon voters the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas of a square
deal are not always those of the or
dinary man.

RESUME OF THE CITY PRESS UPON THE RESULT
OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

left. There is always something
heroic in a once powerful leader
fighting desperately with his back to
the wall or facing inevitable defeat
with courage and dignity. Had PEN
rose had manhood enough to have
gone into the convention and met his
defeat gamely, he would have come
off with that much honor. But what
he did was to lead his faithful lieu
tenants to slaughter, and then ig-
ANONYMOUSLY desert them.
The fall of Penrose, however, is
of secondary Importance. The great
benefit which will come out of the
work of Wednesdays convention
will be in the passage by the next
legislature of measures to carry out
the platform pledges. When those
pledges shall have been fulfilled. an
orderly and systematic evolution will
begin.
Political power will be decentral-
ized, for it will be given back to the
people, and the vicious boss will
have been eliminated from the poll
tics of the state.
This does not mean, that there
will be an end of leadership. Lead
ers will be multiplied. They will
spring up in every section. Young
men will be attracted to public life.
When it is plain that political prefer
ment depends no longer on subser-
viency to corrupt powers, but on
genuine public service, ambitious
and honorable youth will begin to
study questions of political and So
cial service.
After all, the spirit of the state
convention is summed up in the
words of Lincoln, the covenant of the
Republican party with the people
that this nation shall have new
birth of freedom, and that govern
ment of the people, for the people
and by the people shall not perish
from the earth"
The meaning of the state conven-
tion was epitomized by Theodore
Roosevelt when he said:
Our task as Americans is to
strive for social and industrial jus
tice, achieved through the genuine
rule of the people. ."-Philadelphia

MAY MPEACH ARCHIBALD.
Taft Sends Part of Data on Culm
Bank Deal to House.

Washington, d. C.-Impeachmen
proceedings against Judge Robert
w Archibald, of the United States
Commerce Court, as a result of
charges of improper conduct, may be
begun by the House of Representa-
tives before the adjournment of Con-
gress.
This developed when it was learn
ed that President Taft had furnished
to the House Committee on Judiciary
part of the information gathered
by the agents of the Department of
Justice who investigated the charges
against Archibald. Judge Archibald
is charged with having purchased at
small cost certain culm banks own
ed by the Erie railroad, over which
the Commerce Court has certain
Jurisdiction, and contracted to sell
the banks to an electric railroad in
Pennsylvania, since he become a
member of the Commerce Court.
President Taft may send the bal
ance of the investigators report to
the House, but he will not do so un-
til he has the assurance of the
House that the matter will be treat
ed in the strictest confidence, at
least until after Judge Archibald has
been tried before the bar of the
House.

WEDNESDAY, MAY q, 1912.
THE STATE CONVENTION.

The principal political event of the
past week was the holding of the
Republican State Convention at Har-
risburg. The convention was entire
ly in control of that element in the
party that rode into power on the
wave of Roosevelt sentiment in the
State. Whether that power will be
brief or lasting depends upon the
manner in which the new leaders
exercise their authority 1t is safe
to say, however, that different meth
DDS will have to be adopted from
those which were put to use at the
time of the convention if the Pro-
gressives are to continue to enjoy
the fruits of their victory.
So far as the candidates are con-
cerned it may be said that a credit
able ticket was selected. Both Mr..
Young who was named for State
Treasurer and Mr.. Powell who was
named for Auditor General are
worthy of the support of all Repub-
licans. The Citizen congratulates
them on their nomination and will
urge their election. The candidates
for congressmen-at-large are also
creditable representatives of the par
ty and will have the backing of the
Republicans of the state. The en-
tire ticket will undoubtedly be elect
ed in November. The delegates to
the national convention were select
ed from among the Roosevelt par
tisans as they should have been in
view of the Roosevelt victory at the
primaries. The fortunes of the pres
idential electors will of course rise
or fall with the fortunes of the Re-
publican presidential nominee. But
there is no reason at this writing to
believe that the Republican party
will not carry this state for whoever
may be named at Chicago. The Citi-
zen is not in sympathy with certain
| features of the Roosevelt movement,
nor with the entire attitude of that
element of the Republican party
which has ridden into power on the
wave of Roosevelt sentiment. But
we recognize the convention at Har-
risburg as the convention of the Re-
publican party, duly called and con-
Quoted, and we believe the candidates
named by that convention should re-
| caiVp the hearty S1nDOrt of all Re-
publicans in the state. We believe
in party regularity, in the rule of a
fairly chosen majority, and in the
continuance of Republican predomin-
ance in this state, whether the party
is in control of one element or an
other.
AS to the new leaders, as to the
methods adopted by them, and as to
the platform put forth by them, we
shall have more to say.

HELP Us HAVE A CLEAN TOWN.

Now that cleaning-up time has
arrived, we need the assistance of
every man, woman and child to keep
clean and sanitary town. Our
greatest untidiness arises from the
papers thrown in the street. Now
let each business man see that his
papers and rubbish are burned or
taken care of; business men located
on the corners should not forget
that the side streets are also a part
of the town. If a garbage can would
be of any use to people living near
schools or factories, it can be had
by applying to Miss c. Peterson.
We do not wish children to soil
their hands or clothing by picking
up papers from the streets, but if
all our little folks will refrain from
throwing papers, orange and banana
peel on the walks, their share of the
work will soon be noticeable.
Now that there is a dumping
ground, we hope to see a great i'm
provement in the appearance of our
river; there will be no cause for
the banks being covered with kitchen
refuse, and swarming with flies as in
the past season.
We also wish to call attention to
inc Ntcub dllONtu W SIOW
the borough. Last summer we found
them in front of all the bill-boards,
around the telegraph and telephone
poles and along the curbs of the
street. Let us begin early, and pull
or dig them up as soon as they ap-
pear. Our street commissioner
claims that it is the duty of every
property holder to keep his place
clean and free from weeds as far as
the gutter, no matter how far that
may be from the walks.
You are all aware that the La
dies Improvement Society is not an
organization of financiers; most of
what they accomplish is due to the
aid and good will of their fellow
townsmen, so, as many hands make
light work" we would ask that each
do his share to make our town clean
and sanitary.

tation, Honesdale Improvement

A Boss-Ridden Convention.

The methods employed by William
Finn in the Republican State Con-
vention at Harrisburg call for the
severest reprobation. Fairly intoxi-
Gated by the new power he has gain
ed through abnormal conditions,
brought about by the Rooseveltian
cult, with the characteristic tendency
on the part of its victims to rush af-
ter what is wild, strange and vision
ary, the newly elevated party Boss
did not have the grace to temper
the spirit of his authority with the
slightest scintilla of tact or of civility
in the enforcement on his deluded
followers of his premeditated plans
for clinching his control of the state
organization for the qualification of
his personal ambition and desires,
any more than he did when he die
tated the election of the Presidential
delegates-at-laTge and the nomina-
tion of the candidates for Congress
men-at-Large and the two State
offices.
The convention was a carnival of
the brutal power that finds its sup
porters in the believers in the doc
trine that Might makes Right. To
say it was a Republican convention,
in the sense usually conveyed by the
term, would be to perpetrate a libel
on the Republican party. 1t was a
boss-ridden convention If ever there
was one. The delegates, for the most
part sat mute, not daring to open
their mouths. Some of those who
did have the temerity to rise and at
tempt to speak were shut up by the
sharp click of the Boss jaws.-Phil-
adelphia Telegraph.

objectionable Omissions.

In the platform adopted by the
Republican State convention here
Wednesday. there is no mention
whatever of the Administration of
President Taft. The splendid work
of the Republican Executive of this
State, John Kinley Tener, also goes
unnoticed.
These are unpardonable omissions.
While there is undoubtedly a strong
Roosevelt sentiment in Pennsylvania,
this does not Justify the new organi-
zation leaders in absolutely ignoring
President Taft. Even the fact that a
majority of the delegates were sent
to the convention to vote in the in
terests of Roosevelt is not sufficient
excuse for sighting the name and
high position of Mr.. Taft. Whatever
his critics may think of him, he is
President and he is a Republican
President.
The failure to approve Governor
Tener's Administration was so griev-
Gus and crude a blunder as to be al
most unbelievable. No Roosevelt
delegate could by any stretch of the
imagination suppose that he was
elected to cast aspersions upon Gov.
Tener.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

DIVIDED
ON ADJUSTMENTS RULE.

Minneapolis, May 6.-Ministers
OF the Methodist Episcopal church
appear to be equally divided on the
question whether the church law
prohibiting dancing, card playing,
gambling and going to theatres, cir
cuses and horseraces should be abol-
ished by the Board of Bishops.
On the ground that their investi-
cations showed that two-thirds of
the 3,250,000 members of the church
either danced or went to circuses and
theatres without regarding 1t as be-
ing sinful, the bishops declared that
the church law against these diver
sions, in force for forty years, had
become obsolete. They asseted that.
while the church would continue to
protest against these forms of
amusement, it was better not to
have any specific law on the subject
than to have a law which was inef-
fective. John Wesley's injunction,
leaving the amusement question to
the conscience of individuals, the
twenty-four active bishops declared,
was the wisest regulation for Amer
leans of the twentieth century"
A demonstration which greeted
Bishop Earl Cranston's reading of
the recommendation was taken as
indicating a lively debate on the
question when it comes up for vote
of the $50 delegates.
Arguments against continuing the
anti-amusement rule as presented
were:
That the majority of churchgoers
never have refrained from dancing
and theatres because of the church,
and the violation of this rule has
tended to bring all church discipline
into contempt; that many persons
regard Shakespeare on the stage as
being as good as Shakespeare in a
book; that many persons refuse to
condemn all plays because of some
of them, just as much as they would
refuse to condemn all novels because
some novels are not proper; that
gambling is fundamentally wrong and
does not need a rule to prohibit it.
Arguments for continuing the rule
were:
That it's adjustment would give
the impression the church was tend
ing toward laxity and was indorsing
the things which it formerly oppos-
ed; that adjustment of the rule
would remove restrictions which
held members from those form of
amusement.
Concerning the gambling question
the bishops statement had this to
say:
Again we stand unitedly against
gambling, and we recognize clearly
that it is the same sin in Wall street
that it is in the lowest resort, but
we have never ventured legislatively
to fix the point where the race
track gambler, passing from the turf
to the stock market, becomes a re-
spectacle business man, eligible to
church membership and the chair
man of the board of trustees.
In our absolute helplessness before
this question We continue to allow
the world to suspect that the larger
the stake and the more reckless OF
public veal the gain, the less vicious
the crime, provided the winner pays
tithes to religion or benevolence
