CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

The Congressional Banking and
Currency committees have prepared
a currency bill that will probably
find favor with most of the national
and state banks of the county. 1t
gives to the banks advantages while
it preserves to the people acting
through the government all that is
essential for the protection of the
public. The notes are to be treas
ury notes issued by the government
and loaned to the regulation reserve
banks. There is no surrender of the
governments right to issue money.
The board of control is issued by
the President. Thus, the people act
ing through the government, are in
entire control. The regional re-
serve banks are to represent not only
the national banks of the district,
but such State banks as are willing
to put themselves upon d footing
which will be equitable to the nation
al banks.
The business interests, / think,
said Secretary Bryan, welcome the
bill as an unalloyed blessing. 1t
gives them a promise of relief in
any time of stringency and it gives
this promise without putting in the
hands of the banks a power that
might be used against the public.

WHERE ARE WAYNE COUNTY'S
ROADS?

In reviewing the list of new State
Roads recently approved by the Sen
ate we failed to find any mention of
Wayne County's new proposed State
roads. The new bill, which does
not become effective until the pro-
posed 100000 loan shall be ap-
proved, includes forty-siX additional
routes. The Senate favors all of
these new State roads. Several pro-
posed roads are mentioned in the
bill, but why not Wayne county?
There might have been some excuse
for this two years ago, when our
representative was first sent to
Harrisburg, but an explanation is
now expected from him by his
Wayne county constituents giving
reasons why Wayne county did not
receive her proportion of the pro-
posed new roads. The road passing
through his home township, going
from Honesdale to Narrowsburg,
was not secured. Why not Mr..
Jackson?

FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1913.

reputable publisher will dispute the
fact that it is an evil. In some
States, including Pennsylvania, eff
forts have been made to correct the
trouble by law, but anything so iron
clad as a statute applied to the en-
thusiasm of salesmanship is likely
to make the just suffer with the un-
just.
We belived, and we still believe,
that the dishonesty which has long
been the bane of advertising, is cor
recting itself through the greater re-
sponsibilities that are falling upon
advertisers every day.
Half a century ago, the art and
business of advertising were little
understood and lightly esteemed. An
"ad" was a casual trick to catch the
unwary. Nowadays, it is a perma-
nent and necessary aid to business
and the merchant who deliberately
pollutes the source of his patronage
realizes that he must pay for it with
his trade.
Better men and higher ideals are
coming into the advertising field
every day and these, together with
the increasing volume of money in
volved, are bound to attain results
which no law could accomplish.

RARBERs TO RAISE PRICES.

After July 1st the price of hair
cut at any of the barber shops in
Honesdale will go up! The startling
announcement has been made by the
BARRIERS that twenty cents was not
enough for hair cut so they got to-
gether and raised the price to twen-
ty-five cents. This arrangement
will go into effect on the first day of
July. We will not put ourselves on
record as asserting that the high
cost of living" which has been the
national topic for the last few
years, has had any thing to do with
this move on the part of the bar
bers, but we think that in making
the additional charge they are not
asking too much. There are very
few cities and small towns in the
country where the rate was as low
as has been the rate for all kinds
of work in Honesdale for many
years.

PAVE WILL BENEFIT EVERY
BODY.

The statement that taxpayers liv-
ing on the back streets would receive
no benefit from the pave on Main
street is untrue. There is not citi-
zen in the borough of Honesdale but
what will be benefited directly or in
directly providing Main street should
be paved. 1t is true that the abut-
ting property owner on Main street
would receive the immediate and
direct benefit of the improvement,
while the property owner living on
other streets would be indirectly
benefited because Main street must
necessarily be the first street to be
paved. Honesdale will never get pave
on it's back streets until Main street
is paved. The paving of Main street
will result in driving the wedge
which will result in the ultimate
paving of other streets in Honesdale.
Until Main street is paved, the paw
ing of other streets cannot be hop
ed for at any other time. 1t there
fore behooves the taxpayers and all
voters in the borough to turn out in
full force at the special election to
be held at the regular place of vot-
ing on FRIDAY, JULY II, to vote
for brick pave.
Honesdale will never experience
as easy a time, as to the cost of paw
ing, as now. With the $17,5OO,
which is available from the State
Highway department, and the pro-
portion of the Wayne Railway COM
pany it is doubtful if ever an oppor-
tunity will present itself in so gilt
tering and attractive an aspect as is
now placed before the intelligent
and conservative citizens of the bor-
ough of Honesdale.
The fact that the borough pays
out annually large sums of the tax
payers money for crushed stone,
which at its best is only worth one
seasons wear, is evidence weighty
enough to convince the most skeptic
and doubling Thomas, that tnere
must be something wrong some
where. We do not by any means
wish to convey the idea that the
members of the borough council
have not done their duty to give us
the best street they could with what
means and authority they have to dc
the work. that is not the point
A carpenter with poor and dull tools
can never execute good work, just sc
with the council. They have mud to
begin with, mud to try to make
good roads and at last analysis mud
is all that is left. The situation
would be different if Honesdale had
paved streets. They would be in
first-class condition from the day
they were built. Vote for brick and
save the town money.

JOHNNY GET YOUR HAIR CUT"

The BARRIERS of Honesdale, by mu-
tual agreement have made arrange
ments to raise prices for their work.
At meeting held last Monday even
ing schedule of prices, advertised
elsewhere in today's Citizen, was
adopted. Among the different hair
dressing items which will be affect
ed is hair cutting, shampooing, mas
sage, etc. This is the first raise in
prices by Honesdale's tonsorial ar
lists in so years, although other
towns and cities have charged more
for some time.
After July 1 they will charge 25
cents for a hair cut instead of
twenty cents as has been the rate
heretofore. The price of shave
will remain the same. There will
be no more hair outlines for ten
cents. The closing hours of all the
shops will be 8 o'clock p. m. every
evening except Saturday, when shops
will close at 11:45 o'clock.

it very entertaining for the day.

enough for me. Two special trains
are going to be run from Honesdale.
One leaving at 9:15 and the other

Excellent Music Rendered at Grace
Church Last Sunday.

The adult choir at the morning
and the young peoples choir at the
confirmation services in the evening
on Sunday last at Grace Episcopal
church, under the able leadership of
Miss Mabel Broad, organist and
chorister of this church, were fully
equal to the demands for artistic, in
spring music for those occasions.
The magnetic personality of our
own Bishop Talbot and the forceful,
helpful truths which he presented,
at both services, ably assisted by the
Rev. Mr.. Whitaker, were very i'm
pressive. But could easily have
been marred by less effective choir
work. Miss Marguerite Kelley of
Scranton, Mrs. Lewis A. Howell,
Mrs. John Archer, ]. Falk of White
Mills and assisted at the
morning service and they
sang with sorority of tone and
intelligent feeling. The music was
further enhanced morning and even
ing by William Reif's fine playing
of the violin.
The young peoples choir in the
chorus, and the Misses Grace Miller
acceptable solo work.
Scholarly, artistic music, any and
everywhere, is educational and up
lifting. In the service of our Crea-
tor it has a double mission and in
spires to lofty ideals, also. But
scholarly music is not attained by
wishing for it, but needs much con-
serving, planning and hard work be-
fore it is arrived at. In this connec-
tion too much praise cannot be CIV
en- to the very able music commit
tee of, Grace church, which consists
of Mrs. Orville Rowland, Mrs. Chas.
j. Smith and Mrs. Henry r. Shirley.
Because of her especial interest and
unflagging effort in behalf of the
young choir, Mrs. Shirley has also
been given the loving title of Choir
Mother"
