HISTORY OF THE
WAR ON SULZER.

New York, Aug. 14.-Following is
a history of the high spots in the
Sulzer-Murphy war:
William Sulzer, impeached We'd
nesday morning, was elected COVER
nor last November, with the sup
port of Tammany.
Soon after election he proclaimed
himself leader of Democracy in
New York state," this being con-
strued as a direct challenge to Chas.
f. Murphy, head of Tammany hall.
Sulzer refused to appoint men to
office at the direction of Murphy, and
repeatedly proclaimed his independ-
ence of Tammany.
First big breach came when Sui
ger, last winter, espoused the direct
primary and opened a fight for
real direct primary law"
The legislature, with Tammany
leaders, defeated the Sulzer direct
primary bill and substituted one
which the governor denounced as a
fraud and subterfuge."
Sulzer called an extra session, and
made a tour of the state appealing
to the people, on the primary issue.
Attacks on Sulzer began to be
made public. The breach with Muir
ply became recognized as beyond
mending.
A story was revived and widely
circulated to the effect that an in
dictment for alleged perjury was
sought-but never obtained-against
Sulzer in New Hampshire twenty
years ago.
Miss Mignon Hopkins, of Phila-
6nI Irnh Of
promise against Sulzer, who was
married five years ago.
Sulzer declared the New Hamp-
shire story and the Philadelphia suit
were part of a frame-up by Tam
many" He denied the charges in
| both instances.
The extra session of the legislature
| fatty turned down Suffers direct
primary bill and directed the Fraw-
ley committee to investigate the Of
fetal acts of the governor.
The legislature refused to confirm
Suffers appointments, and then de-
clined to adjourn, thus preventing
Sulzer from making vacation ap-
pointments. 1t recessed and Sulze1
contended the recess was really an
adjournment. On this ground he
now contends that the legislature is
illegally in session.
The Frawley committee held ses.
sions in Albany and New York, ex.
posing Sulzer's campaign methods
and revealing his connection with
stock transactions in the New Yorl
stock exchange, which Sulzer ha.
been attacking.
The Frawley committee made the
charge that Sulzer appropriated cam
paign funds to his own use anC
bought stocks with them.
Sulzer issued a blanket denial.
The committees report was adopt
ed by the legislature Wednesda,
night and the impeachment resolu
ton Immediately presented.

THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN MEDI
CINE

From time immemorial alcohol has
blindly been the alpenstock for the
medical profession to depend upon in
rescuing the sick and dying. That
time is fast passing for the simple
reason that the experimental study
of this drugs influence or effect up
on the lower animals has revealed
new light and given a new and ac-
curate idea of the physiological ac-
ton of alcohol on living human It's
sue.
We have learned by experimental
ton that alcohol is not a stimulant
but a sedative and favors fatigue
rather than giving strength to tide
a person over critical point as had
been the thought for many years,
yes, decades.
The researches of Beebe of Cornell
Medical College, show that alcohol
may not only break down the de-
fenses of the body against disease,
but really cause disease by it's inter-
ference with the functions of the
liver. The liver burns up and de-
stroys much poisonous waste matter
generated in the system. When alco-
hol is in the blood the liver seems
to attack it first, consequently some
of the work of destroying poisonous
waste matters is left undone as the
oxidating power of the liver is limit
ed. Because Of this, waste matters
return into the circulation and rem
der the blood impure and set up
various kinds of trouble.
The public generally is too little
aware of the injury done to the
brain by the slow and insidious &C
tion of small doses of alcohol or
toxic drugs. I think you would be
surprised if you knew how strongly
psychologists and specialists on dis
eases of the mind are opposed to
even what is ordinarily called mod
GRAFTON in the use of stimulants like
alcohol and tobacco and tobacco es-
pec1ally by persons who have a ten
dency to nervousness or morbid
mindedness. For all practical pur-
poses science and empiricism unite in
CHASING alcohol with the more or
less dangerous stimulants and mar
cotics such as hasheesh, tobacco
ETC., rather than with truly sustain
ing food stuffs.
The International Reform Bureau
is sending out form of a petition
for this legislature, which can be
adopted by one or more organiza-
tions, to prevent interstate ship
ments of opium for illegal purposes
so that any state with a good opium
law may be protected against its
nullifaction by outsiders. The
amount of opium consumed in this
country, by latest reports, is foul
hundred thousand pounds, when
by the standard of Japan, it ough
to be only four thousand pounds, al
that country uses only two Thousand
pounds for a population half as large
as ours. Much of the opium used il
our country is hidden in soothinl
syrups, cigarettes and headache pow
ders, but it does it's deadly work jus

JONES OF BINGHAMToN DYING.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor of New
York and Colonel of the Famous
Massachusetts Sixth That Was
Stoned in the Streets of Baltimore
at the Beginning of the Civil War.
Binghamton, N. Y, Aug. TO-
Gen. Edward F. Jones, one of the
most picturesque figures in the ma
tion's history, is dying at his home
here from old age and cerebral hem
orrhages. He was born in Utica,
June 3, 1928, and for the past six
years has been blind.
He is known throughout the land
as Jones of Binghamton, having coin.
ed the phrase "Jones-He pays the
freight" in connection with his com.
mercial enterprises. The phrase has
ever since stood for integrity and the
desire to meet obligations.
He was Colonel of the famous
Sixth Massachusetts, regiment, the
first in the country to respond to the
call of Lincoln for men and his ar
rival with his regiment in Baltimore
stemmed the rebel advance on the
capital. His regiment was attacked
by mob in Baltimore as they march

n NEW INDUSTRY.

We understand that no decision
was reached at the meeting of the
stockholders of the Honesdale Foot
wear company as to the new fac
tory proposition submitted by w. H.
Krantz, former president of the con-
cern. In fact no actual vote was
taken on the matter, the stockholders
prefering to have the affairs of the
company wound up finally before any
new proposition would be considered.
1t seems likely that many of the
stockholders will go into the new
proposition to manufacture decorat-
ed glassware. Quite a number have
already signified their willingness to
do so. If new industry could be
started for Honesdale in place of the
one that was destroyed by fire, it
would be most acceptable.
In our statement in TUESDAYS is
sue that the proposition had been
rejected we did not in the least
intend any reflection on Mr.. Krantz.
The new business venture would un-
doubtedly be good thing for Homes
dale and we surely want to secure all
the industries we possibly can. Also
the town is willing to support with
its good will and financially if nee
essary, any proposition that is FEAST
BILE. The proposition that was put
before the stockholders of the Foot
wear Company was certainly feasible
for it has back of it the support of
many of the men who were in the
old company. They are willing to go
into it on the same basis of stock.
That in itself speaks we'll for the
new company, if such there is to be.
While it would be most acceptable
could we secure new industry for
the town, at the same time it is a
bad advertisement to have the fac
tory of the old remain in its present
condition for years to come without
a sign of an effort to rebuild it. The
walls are intact and contractors
have estimated that the cost of re.
building it would not exceed $500
which is a small amount compared
to the actual cost of the building.
Let us hope that Mr.. Krantz will
succeed in his efforts to secure suf
ficient backing from the stockholders
of the Footwear company to venture
once more on the seas of industry
in Honesdale where he has beer
prominently associated in it's bust
ness affairs for over twenty-five
years.

Governor George H. Hodges, of
Kansas, is hopeful that women will
soon sit as members of the sunflower
legislature. Governor Hodges is an
enthusiastic friend of equal suffrage
and firm believer that women are
as competent to make and ad-
minister laws as men are. Women
are much interested in education,'
he said recently. "They are closer
to their children than their fathers
They see the need of laws. Women
have the power to aid in making the
Kansas laws and I hope to see sew
eral women in the next Kansas leg
islature."

sMvERsTONE FOR BURGEss.

The following was taken from
the Scranton Times of recent date:
William Silverstone, known to
every man, woman and child in the
borough as Billy" wants to be bur-
CESS. He has announced himself as
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation and those who are familiar
with his long, busy career think he
will be an important factor in the
fall campaign. Mr.. Silverstone en-
joys wide acquaintance and for
many years he has been a sort OF
public benefactor with little or nc
reward from the Honesdale people.
Honesdale's first base ball team
was managed by BILLY" and for up.
wards OF fourteen years he brought
the best theatrical attractions on the
road to the local playhouse. Among
showmen he is rated as the soul o1
honor, but like many of that claI
he has been more concerned with the
amusement and comfort of Others
than with his own fortunes. The
result is that he has little money
to spend in playing the game o.
politics and he will depend upon the
friendship of the men who know
him for his deeds of the past.
"A bigger and better Honesdale'
will be Mr.. Silverstone's platform
If elected he will give his best effort
to the betterment of the town anC
the securing of new Industries. HI
is sort of human dynamo, beini
always on the move, and by electinl
him the Honesdale people woull
get their moneys worth.

CHAUTAUQUA BEGINS NEXT
THURSDAY.

Beginning Thursday, August 21
and continuing for seven days, end
ing August 27, will be known as
Chautauqua Week in Honesdale.
This is Honesdale's first opportunity
to avail itself of high class enter
tainment of this character. The
Citizen hopes that the people of
Honesdale and surrounding towns
and hamlets will give the Chautau-
qua their undivided support. The
safest way to do this is to purchase
season tickets. They are transferable
and allow the members of the house
hold to attend the different enter
tainments. There is big advantage
in buying a season ticket as it de-
creases the price of single admission
to thirteen cents, whereas single ad-
mission tickets sell at thirty-five and
fifty cents.
Do not put off purchasing your
season tickets. The town and sup
urbs have been districted and solicit
tors appointed to take care of these
sections. Don't wait for the last day
to make your purchase.
The Honesdale Chautauqua will
begin next Thursday afternoon, and
entertainments will be given after
moons and evenings. Special religious
services will be held on Sunday
August "a. The entertainments will
be varied in character and elevatine
and refining in tone and spirit
Concerts of Ugh order by prominen
musical organizations and soloists
and numerous other features are
scheduled. You will make no mis-
take if you attend the Chautauqus
and will be repaid for your time ant
money. 1t is something out of thu
ordinary and requires the generous
support of the community and i'm
mediate vicinity. Spend your va
cation at the Honesdale Chautauqua

"WITHIN THE LAW"

Within the Law which is to be
presented at the Lyric on August %,
has proven more than an American
success as it is equally popular in
England and Australia. One has to
see the play to know the effect it
has on the masses who understand
the injustices of some of the de-
partment stores and the grating in
reference of some of the police
Every scene of the play has been
verified in Court-often the SINH
larity has been remarkable. Only
recently the heroine who works
within the Law" was matched by
the ''Wolf of Wall St." Removed
from the coincidence to England and
Australia the play stands upon itE
merits as one of the strongest melo-
dramas ever written.

Next Saturday, March l, 1913, the
payment of taxes will commence at
the sheriff's office and those who
desire to get in early and avoid the
rush may do so. The total tax pay
able to the sheriff this year amounts
to about $706,012.76. The sheriff's
office has issued the following in
structions to the taxpayers:
''If you pay your taxes on or be-
fore March Is you will be allowed a
rebate of per cent.
IF you pay your taxes between
March Is and up to and including
the first Monday in April there will
not be any rebate allowed, and
neither will there be any penalty or
interest added.
IF your taxes are not paid on or
before the first Monday in April they
will become delinquent, when there
will be added a penalty of 10 per
cent and the tax will also draw in
terest at the rate of 12 per cent per
annum in addition to the penalty.
IF you pay one-half OF your taxes
on or before the first Monday in
April, then the remaining half may
run up to and including the first
Monday in October following, but if
the last half of tax due is not paid
by the first Monday in October, it
becomes delinquent, and there will
be added to such balance a penalty
of 10 per cent and in addition such
balance will bear interest at the rate
of IL per cent per annum from the
first Monday in April until paid.
"On all personal property taxes, if
one-half is not pail on or before the
first Monday in April the law COM
pels the sheriff to levy upon and col
lect the same after May l, hence to
prevent levy upon personal prop
erty after May / it will be necessary
for one-half to he paid as above
stated.
'If the taxes are not paid either
half or in full by August / the prop
erty will be advertised, which cost
will be added to the tax
"If the takes are not paid by Oc-
