HEART TO HEART TALKS
WITH
OUR MERCHANTS.

In a recent article under this cap
tion we called our merchants at
tention to parcel post and what it
would mean to them providing the
privileges offered were carried out.
This subject is so important and
timely that we feel the storekeeper
who does not take advantage of the
parcel post to extend his business
will lose money. You can develop
your business among the rural dis
tricts by advertising what you have
for sale in the papers eve, however,
would like you to patroniZe The Cit
izen.) Almost every farmer has the
telephone in his home over which
he can connect with your store and
order his goods. Many stores have
given the parcel post test and are
satisfied with results. 1t has made
many happy and pleased customers
and this counts.
After all one of the most sue
cessful methods of using the parcel
post is by advertising. By display
ing your wares in The Citizen in an
attractive style you can bring the
purchaser direct to your store
Every day can be made a bargain
day through the parcel post.
Direct connection between the con-
sumer and the producer may be es-
tablished by this system. In Eng
land the business possibilities of the
parcel post are we'll understood. The
London newspapers run a depart
ment headed " Bargain by Post"
The Parcel Post Department of The
Citizen will answer the same pur-
pose for you.
Department merchants in Homes
dale, the milliner, the haberdasher,
the druggist, the shoe dealer and
the hardware merchant will show
the farmer that he can select his
purchases from the more ample
stock of their stores and get these
goods through the parcel post SER
vice at prices which will fairly COM
pete with the metropolitan mail or
der houses.
The Citizen has a select number
of parcel post advertising cuts in
stock for the use of the local mer-
chants to boom their trade through
the new parcel post system. We
have the exclusive use of these cuts
in Honesdale. In order that you
may have some idea of what the
cuts are we herewith reproduce one
as sample. Proof sheet may be
seen at The Citizen office.

BIGELOW DECLARES PROBE
Is WELCOMED

Harrisburg, Jan. 27.-Anticipating
the filing of charges of mismanage-
ment of the State Highway Depart
ment and a request for an investi-
cation of the conduct of the office,
State Highway Commissioner Bige-
low has announced that he is pre-
pared to submit to the Legislature a
detailed report of his stewardship
since his induction into Office.
Investigators have been at work
for weeks probing the department,
and Finn sympathizers have been
predicting that damaging evidence
will be submitted to justify their e.
mand for a probing commission.
Commissioner Bigelow made his
statement regarding his readiness to
open up the books of his department
following the Introduction in the
House of resolution by Horace G.
Barner, Democrat, of Cum berland
county, which was unanimously
adopted.
The resolution recites the fact that
no report has been made to the
Legislature of the work of the State
Highway Commissioner since the last
session of the general assembly, and
sets forth that large sums of money
have been spent by the department
and that a full knowledge of the
work done is desirable in order that
the Legislature may be enabled to
consider intelligently legislative mat
ters affecting the department.
Then follows call upon the COM
missioner for information covering
all expenditures, the names of all
contractors, the location of roads and
other details, including a full list of
employe with salaries paid and ex-
penses of all kinds, including cost of
materials.
l shall cheerfully give all the in
formation desired" said Chief Bige-
low, last evening, and welcome
any investigation of the administra-
tion of this department"
While from the Finn camp come
intimations that an effort is being
made to forestall the attack which
the independents are expected to
make upon the department, the ad-
ministration leaders say Chief Bige-
low is prepared to meet any move
that may be made against him.

On the other hand, there is large
part of the pulation-perhaps a
majority-who believe that the sale
of liquor should be permitted every
where under restrictions. The most
pronounced defenders of this propo-
sition are those who believe the
right to buy or sell liquor is an in
herent American privilege, not to be
abridged except for necessary ex-
else regulations.
Recent times reaching to the
present have seen the greatest pro-
gress made by the forces ranged
against the sale of liquor.
We see the growing knowledge of
the dangerous character of this traf-
fic. Its record of devastation is a
scar across the face of civilization.
The manhood it has wrecked, the
homes it has ruined, the women it
has wrung in hopeless sorrow and
the other women it has buried in
nameless shame, the children it has
starved and murdered-these are
the witnesses against it.
Speaking to the liquor interests,
we say that the more they fight the
Kenyon bill, which represents the
will of the people, the more it be-
hooves them to cast about to find
some other business for their chill
dren to follow. For as sure as light
dispels darkness, the day is coming
the truth that there is nothing in
liquor domination which Americans
will tolerate if they hope to remain
Philadelphia North American.

SHALL LIQUOR OR LAW RULE.

For fifty years a certain measure
has been before congress in some
form or other. 1t has been side
tracked and strangled and picked
and smothered and often left for
dead. But it is still there, more
insistent than ever.
In its present form this measure
is known as the Kenyon liquor bill.
1t is described in it's title as a ''bill
to prohibit interstate commerce in
intoxicating liquors in certain cases. -
The certoin cases are those in
which any state has decreed under
its police power that there shall be
no intoxicating liquor sold within its
borders or within any part of it's
territory. All that the Kenyon bill
asks is that in such cases the federal
government shall not defeat the will
of the people of that state by fore
ing the state to accept liquor ship
ped from the outside.
In a speech in the senate, defend
ing his bill, Senator Kenyon set
forth the principle involved as fol-
lows:
Il am not concerned at all with
the question of whether a state in
the exercise of its police power
might adopt a law prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors. If it does so, it ought to
be able to make the law effective.
If it adopts the contrary policy, it
should be permitted to make that
effective"
Some time ago it was agreed that
the bill should come to a vote in the
senate on January 20. But action
has again been deferred through the
Vermicular maneuvers of the Nor
mon Smoot. Smoot, next to Penrose
is the ablest champion that the foes
OF the bill, the law-defying liquor
interests, have in the senate.
A very large part of the popula-
tion believes that the sale should be
prohibited by law. OF these many
are moved by moral reasons primar-
lily. They hold alcoholic liquor in
abJect horror and burning hate as
something endowed with the power
to wreck earthly happiness and to
destroy mans immortal soul itself.
Other advocates of the prohibition
OF the liquor traffic base their posi-
tlon on economic, social or scientific
grounds.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE

With the great impetus given the
past few years to the tilling of the
soil through the Federal Govern
ment in the Department of Agricul-
ture, the State boards, the special
literature sent out, the newspapers
devoting special departments to
poultry, fruit, grain, etc., with the
railroads sending out instruction
trains, the formation of boys clubs,
Oranges, institutes, etc., there has
arisen a great demand for better ed
ucational facilities, where scientific
and intensive farming may be stud
led by the youth, in a practical as
well as theoretical form.
State colleges have sprung up into
great popularity, and they are doing
a tremendous work for the future, in
teaching and turning out young men,
that are revolutionizing the obsolete
methods and making grass and grain
and fruit grow where none grew be-
fore, or in doubling, trebling and
quadrupling the yield, through ap-
plying science and head work to till
ing.
President Sparks, of State College,
in presenting his annual report to
the trustees, shows that there are
2,446 students enrolled in the col
lege this year, of whom 973 are in
the school of agriculture, TAP in en-
gineering, 163 in chemistry and 9S
in mining. During the past ten years
the number of students has increas-
ed 400 per cent, the available state
appropriation ~ per cent, and the
buildings 2S per cent. Owing to the
growth and lack of necessary funds
the college has lost many valuable
instructors during the year. In or
der to cut down the number of stu
dents, it was necessary last Fall and
the year previous, to make the ad-
mission more difficult by raising the
standard of the examinations. The
school has been unable to extend its
work or to send out agricultural or
good roads trains, or to meet the
actual needs of carrying on the nee
essary work as it should have been.
Our people are proud of the work
being done by the State College, and
desire to have its usefulness extend
ed, and its buildings and instructors
added to amply meet all demands by
an unlimited number of pupils. Sure
ly with the great cash box of the
State overlooking, the present Legis-
lature is in position to amply pro-
vide funds for all necessities of State
College, and its enlargement. AS
long as graft and politics are kept
out of the school management, the
taxpayers will heartily second the
greater appropriations asked of the
Legislature by the trustees of the
State College.-Scranton Times.

VOGEL,s MINsTRELs COMING.

An occasional visit OF a minstrel
show is a good thing for the thea
tregoer. Wearied by a continuous
course of problem plays, lurid melo-
dramas and musical comedies, the
stately presence and sparkling con-
versation of the interlocutor appeals
restfully to him, while the familiar
quips of the end men are hailed as
old friends returning from a long
journey and it is very lovely. This
statement is especially true of as
good a minstrel show as John w.
Vogel's Big City Minstrels are pre-
senting, which comes to the Lyric
next Monday, Jan. 27. There is just
enough newness about it to please,
and just enough of the old-time fla
vor to relieve it from any charge of
iconoclasm.
Remember that Bunty' will be
at the Lyric on Wednesday night.
