COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY ON
PAPER.

DR.. ]. H. Smith is said to have
invented Photographic printing pa
per capable of reproducing photo
graphs in natural colors from suit
able negatives. We must frankly
confess that we do not as yet under
derstand involved. We are informed
that the paper is printed in the sun
for about two hours Qonger in the
shaded in the usual manner, until it
acquires the colors of the late. The
colors are assumed without the appli-
cation of any solutions or developing
agents. When the print corresponds
with the original hue it is taken out
of the frame and fixed to render the
dyes more permanent, and then
mounted as an ordinary photograph.

tained resemble oiled color prints

lisks, removes ancient landmarks
and begets in us a strong persuasion
that we can hear "the river of time
running through the night"
This cumulative power of incon-
siderable moments mounting to tre-
mendous effect, as snowfiakes bury
the landscape, or of Time as whole
melting the ages like snowflakes
umbling at some invisible touch,
lends our human day twofold oper-
alton. Each year is room in Times
mansion, given character by the
goods stored up within it's opportun-
ity. But we are also made aware
that, like filaments of ivy loosening
the mortared bricks, the mansion it
self for each of us is being rapidly
eaten away. Happy the man who can
affirm the year past more lovely in
its decay than in it's garish and un-
toned freshness.
The general features of an odd
year may be reviewed. For instance
1912 has been a year of unparalleled
prosperity. The Time-spirit has stir.
red up among US mighty question
ings which are bound to issue in re-
forms, perchance making this past
year a landmark in an era as rapid
and momentous in it's mental and
moral influences as the bygone hall
century has been in its literature, its
commercial enterprise, it's wonderful,
inventiveness and it's national and in
ternational correspondence. Thus
we may rest assured that the veal
just closed has added its quota tt
human progress, to an increased
sense of human dignity and the NUT
ual duties and relationships between
man and man.

the state, but the political aggran-
dizement of certain bosses and
their servile followers, That such
legislation is to masquerade under
the guise of reform does not deceive
this clear-headed and absolutely in
dependent governor. He has served
public notice on the plotters that
when such proposed legislation is
inimical to the interests of the peo-
pie it will be thwarted, even if the
veto power must be exercised to do
it. In this season of rejoicing, the
people of Pennsylvania should re-
joice that they have at Harrisburg a
guardian of their rights who can
neither be bought, brow-beaten nor
deceived.

5000 MILES OF MAIN ROADS.

Harrisburg, Dec. 31.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the State has
taken possession of 5000 miles OF
main roads in Pennsylvania, the ap-
plications for State aid in the i'm
provement of other roads continue
to a surprising extent. The State
Highway Department already has
scores of such applications in excess
of the available funds, and many
more are expected before next sum-
mer.
Under the State-aid plan, as dis
tinctive from the regular State roads,
the local communities pay half the
expense of reconstruction, and the
fact that the counties, boroughs and
townships are eager to do this be-
yond the financial ability of the de-
partment to comply, is regarded as
significant of the great demand of
the people for good roads.
The building of highways, main
and State-aid, as we'll as the repair
and maintenance work, has progress
ed to such point that the next Leg
islature will find it necessary to be
liberal in providing for road con-
struction. From statements made
by committees visiting here and let
terS received at the capitol the de-
mand for road improvement is not
only general but imperative, and to
comply with the popular desire for
better roads the operations for the
next two years must be on a more
extensive scale than ever. The fifty
million dollar loan appears to afford
the means of meeting the demand fol
roads. If the people approve of il
in case the next Legislature passes il
finally, as seems probable now
money will be available to build the
main State highways, and the com.
| monwealth can then afford to be lib
eral with appropriations for State
aid roads.
| Popular interest in better road;
| is growing constantly, and Pennsyl
vania must devise ways and means
to meet it within the next si1
months.

War Veteran.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31.-Joseph Lin
and widely known political reformer
and business man, died at his home in
this city. Mr.. Linton, who was sew
enty-two years old, had been i'll for
some time with uraemia.
Mr.. Linton served nine years In COM
mon council, one term in the state leg
islature and two years on the board Of
education. He was an independent Re-
publican and was elected to the legis-
lature on the fusion ticket in 1906 from
the Fourteenth district. He served on
the committee on banks and banking,
federal relations, forestry and ways
and means.
Mr.. Lincoln was born in st. Johns,
N. B., on June "a, 1910. His parents
removed to Philadelphia eleven years
later, and Mr.. Linton received most
of his education in the public schools
here. He was employed in the man
ufacture of woolen goods until the
outbreak of the civil war and was one
of the first to respond to President Lin
coins call for volunteers, enlisting in
the Eighteenth Pennsylvania regiment.
At the close of the war Mr.. Linton
was appointed to position at the
Schuylkill arsenal. In 1876 he entered
the shoddy, waste and wool business
at 112-14 North Front street, where the
firm is still located.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services, to
be attended by members of the family

MARKETING BY NAIL.

No other change inaugurated by
the Government has kindled such
lively and widespread interest as the
parcels post which goes into opera
tion to-day, says the Philadelphia
Press. 1t will bring the pro-
ducer and consumer closer together.
1t will permit marketing by mail.
1t should reduce the cost of living.
The country producers of eggs,
butter, fruit and vegetables will be
able to deal directly with the city
consumer. The merchant will extend
his sales far into the country, and the
goods, can increase and extend his
sales in the same manner, for Uncle
Sam is no respecter of persons, but
will take all that is offered in prop
er shape for parcels post transporta-
tion.
1t will take some time for this new
government business to get into
smooth operation. The post office
employees have to learn their part OF
the business and the public must
learn how to prepare goods for ship
ment. There are many rules and
regulations. They have been pub
lished and will continue to be pub
lished for the benefit of all con-
cerned. Soon the people will learn
just what the parcels post can do OF
cannot do for them beneficially. This
government will learn by experience
how far the law comes short and
just where it needs amendment.
The new machinery will thus be-
come adjusted, oiled and made ia,
miliar and the cheap and prompt
transportation of all sorts of parcels
up to eleven pounds will soon become
established and the people will be
able to shop and market from theii
homes through the United States
mails.

WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR?

To-day's issue of The Citizen is
dated January 1, 1918. What will
this year mean to us? Are we going
to drift along on Times silvery tide,
or are we going to pull with might
and main and see who will reach the
goal of prosperity and success first?
Another wheel has been placed in
Father Times great piece of me-
chanism. In order that it shall run
smoothly and without friction great
care must be taken during 1913 to
keep it fabricated and in good run
ming order. In other words we
should endeavor to live the best lives
we can this year. If we have any
feeling of animosity toward our
friends or neighbors, let us cast it
from us. Forget it. See how much
good we can do every day. Not wait
until Christmas and then heap all
our remembrances upon the poor OF
give to charity only once during the
next twelve months, but give as oc-
casion demands. Our churches, So
cieties, sewing guilds, missionary
bands and the like did untold good
last year to help the unfortunate
This is an incentive for us to do more
this year. The beggar on the street
needs your dime as does the heather

HEART TO HEART TALKS
VIZ WITH ls LIr
OUR BUSINESS MEN.

The Citizen sincerely hopes that
1918 will be the most prosperous
and successful year the merchants of
Honesdale have ever enjoyed.
The dawn of the new era in busi-
ness made it's appearance to-day.
There is no reason to doubt why
this year will not be as prosperous
and from existing local conditions,
brighter from a business standpoint
of view than any year in the history
of the town and county. Prosperity
looms up on every side. Industrial
ly, the town is buster than ever be-
fore, which in turn will help you.
You have enjoyed possibly one of the
best holiday seasons in the history
of your business, which is gratifying
to say the least. The Citizen re-
joices with you.
Now that you have discovered the
most practical method of getting
customers to visit your store and re-
ceive new trade thereby, whatever
else you do, don't lose the friendship
of the agency through which you
gained the acquaintance of these
friends-your advertisement. 1t is
your silent partner in business.
Advertising porperly written and
judiciously used will always bring
results. Regular and spasmodic ad-
vertisers know the value of placing
their ads in The Citizen. The man
agement of this paper would like to
see all spasmodic advertisers be-
come regulars. Start the new year
right. Be a progressive in advertis-
ing and you will never know what
dull times are.

THE PASSING OF THE YEAR.

Time in the abstract may be a
mere notion, as the philosophers sug-
gest; but it never comes as such to
human creatures. Rather is it
fraught with effects that render it
palpable to the senses, and make its
motion felt. 1t sets up the year to
review like the hills on the back
ground of the horizon. Or, if we
pause after tearing the last leaf
from the 1912 calendar, the feeling
is kindred to that when engines are
stopped aboard ship, and all the pas
sengers awake in the unwonted ST.
lence. We watch the year from green
shoot to snowdrift, and are conscious
that suns and stars, mountains and
seas, are growing old under the self
same change that weathers the Pyra-
mids, effaces the chisellings of obe-

WEDDING SERVICE OF II WORDS
Daughter of Late Robert lngersoll Eth
ical Culture Society Bride.

New York, Dec. 31.-Miss Maud Il.
Ingersoll, daughter of Colonel Robert
G.. Ingersoll, the agnostic, who died
on July 81, 1899, was married by a
seventeen word service of the Ethical
Culture society to Wallace Mclean
Probasco of Ohio.
The ceremony took place in the liv-
ing room of the brides home at III
East Twenty-first street, the Rev. DR..
John L. Elliot, assistant to DR.. Felix
Adler, head of the society, officiating.
The bride had no bridesmaids nor
flower girls and the bridegroom was
unattended. They stood with clasped
hands in an alcove and listened to a
three minute address by DR.. Elliot on
the duties and responsibilities of the
marriage relation. Mr.. Probasco then
took a plain gold band out of his pock-
ct and as he placed it on the finger Of
his bride he repeated the sosiety's mar
riage ritual as follows:
with this ring l thee wed in love
and truth for life-till death do us
part"
That was all there was TO IL, but the
marriage was just as binding as the
most long winded church service by
an ordained minister Of the gospel, be-
cause of a law enacted by the New
York legislature giving the society the
right to perform the marriage service.
Originally only DIR. Adler was per-
mited by the statutes to wed couples
after the custom of the Ethical Cul-
! ture society. The law was amended
in 1902 permitting an assistant leader
of the society to officiate at weddings.
Miss Ingersoll has long been a mem
Der of the cult, and Mr.. Probasco, who
Is an Episcopalian, readily deferred to
her wishes for simple wedding.
The bride was married in travelling
suit. She is the last of Colonel Inger-
soils daughters to become wife.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

their innermost souls desire the high
est, bravest, finest things they can
hear or see or feel in all the world.
Tell a man how he can increase his
income, and he will be grateful to

things in his own soul and give him
the word which will convince him
that the finest things are really at
tainable, and he will love and follow
you always.-David Grayson.

GUNS WE'RE NOT MADE TO PLAY
WITH.

The tragic death of May Law
renee, seven-year-old daughter of
Frank Lawrence, of Lookout, who
was accidentally shot by her sixteen
year-old brother on Friday last, is
another lamentable case of mot
knowing that the gun was loaded"
There are more deaths from ''un-
loaded" guns and revolvers than
when it is positively known that the
weapons are loaded. The above is
only another instance of children
fooling with things that they have no
business with. Shot guns, revolvers,
fiobert rifles and other weapons are
no playthings. They were never
manufactured to play with. We deem
it entirely unnecessary and out of
place for children or young men to
be allowed to handle or use firearms
of any kind until they have arrived
at an age when they KNOW how to
manipulate them. A boy is young
enough when he reaches his major
ity, is our opinion. When, oh when,
will the growing generation realize
how deadly are guns, revolvers,
rifles, ETC.? Not until the legislature
enacts law prohibiting the sale or
use of these firearms by children or
young people. But what about
the gun or revolver already in the
home? They should be kept out OF
the reach of children or irresponsi-
