BEATING THE DEVIL ABOUT THE
STUMP

A prominent feature in the plans
to rehabilitate the Republican party
is the proposition to base representa-
tion in the National Convention on
the Republican vote of the respective
states instead of on their population.
Southern Republican politicians
are frankly opposed to this proposi-
ton which is directly aimed at re-
ducing their power. The present sys-
TEN of basing representation in the
National convention on total (negro
plus white) population, allows South
ern Republican leaders to use the
negro to swell their number of dele
gates to the convention, and later on
to disfranchise him at the polls.
Certain Northern Republican poll
ticians liked the new proposition in
so far as it works toward giving
them the upper hand over the South
but they are in a quandry how to pre-
vent the new system from giving

have enfranchised their women.
A prominent Pennsylvania news
paper editor makes this dolefui sup
position: Suppose Ohio should
adopt Woman Suffrage and Pennsyl-
vania should reject it. In that case
Ohio would probably cast about
100000 more Republican votes than
Pennsylvania and would therefore,
under the new system, have pro-
portionately larger representation in
the National convention. The ban
ner Republican State would not
have the proportionate weight in the
convention that it is fairly entitled
to, but would have to take a place
below that of state nowhere near
so dependable in support of the
ticket" "How to get a square deal
without giving one" seems to be
puzzling the politicians. If the BAH
ner Republican state should refuse
to trust her women, doesn't she de-
serve to have to take back seat?"

SATURDAY FLAG DAY.

Saturday, June 14th, is flag day.
In honor of the Stars and Stripes
every citizen who has a flag in his
possession is requested to unfurl the
starry banner to the breezes on Sat
urday of this week. 1t is the 136th
anniversary of the adoption of the
flag of the United States. That it be
displayed is the request of the Presi-
dent of the United States, the Gov
ernors of the different States of the
Union, mayors and chief burgesses
of the cities and towns. The day set
apart for it's annual observance has
been fixed for the 18th of June. Un-
furl the star-spangled banner to the
breeze June 14th!

CONCERNING MAIN STREETS
PAVE.

That Main street will be paved is
no dream" although this assertion
has been made by parties who evil
IDENTIFY do not have the faith in mat
ters developing. 1t is coming, never
theless, and like the trolley road,
it cannot come too quickly. The
bond issue of $4,000 represents the
entire amount, including the trolley s
proportion, the States share, the
abutting property owners proportion
and the towns allotment. In reality
the towns increased indebtedness
will be only $4,000. Before the
State will do any work or give any
aid to assist paving Main street the
whole amount has to be provided for,
thus provision for $4,000 bond is
sue as mentioned in the borough
ordinance.
In view of the fact that if the
town paves this summer or fall it
will receive $4,000 from the State,
whereas if not taken advantage of by
March 1st, 1914, this snug sum will
have been lost until period of per-
haps from two to four years, it
therefore behooves the public to take
advantage Of this opportunity and
vote for pave July 18th at the spec
ial election.
This is the opportune time for
paving and with the aid of the State
and Wayne County Railway company
1t is doubtful if similar opportunity
will be afforded in several years to
come.
Another feature which is worthy
of the consideration of the taxpay-
er is the fact that the State Highway
department will stand the expense of
all preliminary work, such as survey
ing, making of drafts and the ap-
pointment of an inspector while the
paving is being done.
This will save the town between
$4,000 and $4,000, which necessarily
would have to be paid as outside ex-
pense if the States proportion were
not taken advantage of. The State
department will build the entire road
for the town. 1t is therefore neces-
sary to call for the entire bond issue
at the start, which is fully explained
in the first paragraph of this editor
ial.
The Citizen has always been in ia
vor of paving and will from time to
time print articles explaining the
advantages to be obtained by grasp
ing the opportunity of paving now.
This journal hopes that when July
18th will have arrived that the peo-
pie of the town will be so enthusias-
tic that they can hardly wait to vote
for pave. Our prediction is that il
will go through with flying colors.

THE NEAR-LOBBYIST.

Nobody charges that there is in
tent back of it, but Senator Town
send, of Michigan, created something
of a sensation on Friday last in the
Senate's lobby investigation, by de-
claring that the influence welded by
President Wilson and by the Demo-
ing of the tariff bill constituted the
nearest approach to undue in
f1uence upon members of congress I"
that the investigating committee
would be able to find.
Senator Townsend further criti-
cized the committee for not having
asked members of the senate wheth-
er the president had sought to in
fuence them, and declared that even
though the president had not intend
ed it, his recent denunciation of
Hobbies" working in support of
changes in the tariff would force GER
tain senators to vote against amend
ments they knew to be just.
AS the time limit for the investiga-
tion has been extended 20 days, ex-
piring on June 2S, indications al
ready are pointing to real torrid
times.
Senator Townsend is not alone in
his opinion as touching the effect of
President Wilson's attitude on the
subject in its influence on the votes
of Senators. For instance, Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts,, also a Re-
publican, following Senator Town
send on the stand, expressed the
opinion that executives had had more
influence on bills than all the per-
sons who have come to Washington,
put together.
1t will be noted that Senator
Townsend's statements in relation to
President Wilson were not in the
form of charges. He expressly said
he did not charge the president with
using improper methods; but he in
sisted that the charges that lobbies
existed and the activity of the presi-
dent in support of free wool and free
sugar amounted to an undue influ-
ence," even though he did not use
the ''big stick" of patronage.
In other words, it is possible, COM
paratively speaking, to rob a man
without knocking him senseless with
bludgeon. Indeed, there might be
circumstances where one might even
allow the robbery to proceed without
raising the voice in protest, concur
ring in the opinion that discretion is
the better part of valor."
In the meantime, the progress of
the investigation will be regarded
with increasing interest, inasmuch
as, according to a motion made by
Senator Walsh, it was agreed that
in view of the serious statements
made touching the executive, any
senator who has already testified
may be recalled and interrogated in
reference thereto"

lSOnle Citizens We Greet |
There's a chiel amang ye tak'in
notes
An faith he'll prent it,"
-RurnS

George Yousko is the name of a
citizen whom we trust we shall greet
in the months and years to come in
Wayne county. His name is new
one, and he is a new addition to this
section of the state. The writer met
him on the Erie train one day re-
Gently, and he learned that he was
making his first visit to our high
lands and lakes. He is young
man, not yet old enough to vote, if
we may hazard a guess. He is just
out of Lincolndale Agricultural Col
lege, of N. Y. State. From that in
stitution he went to New York city,
but did not like city life, and came
this way, bound for Waymart. AL
though his people live in Lincoln
dale, George Yousko is a native of
Pennsylvania. He was born at Beth
lehem. He showed the writer pict-
ures of college scenes, and his heal
thy countenance, sunny disposition
and happy demeanor indicate that his
heart is in the right place and that
he is sure to make citizen that any
community will be proud to own. He
is base ball enthusiast along with
his other attainments, and his eyes
sparkled with the peculiar CLINT that
is so noticeable in all boys who love
the freedom and excitement of the
national game.
The writer advised George to call
on Supt. FitZsimmons, at the new
State Hospital, where they undoubt-
edly would be able to find a suitable
place for such a young man, fresh
from an Agricultural College, in the
modern farming they are undertake
ing this season.
Another citizen we sometimes
greet is H. S. Whitmore, the post
master of Inglehart, in Berlin town
ship. When he manages to get away
from his home duties for brief in
terval he comes down into the
charming precincts of the county
seat to say "how d. yo' do?" to the
boys and to see how we do things
down here. Mr.. Whitmore made
such trip to Honesdale the other
day, and before he escaped the writ
er managed to pick up several items
of interest with which he is more
or less connected. Just at present
we learn that he is in the field for
the office of Supervisor of the high
ways of his township. He doesn't t
claim that he has some patent pro-
cess of constructing roads that will
produce the best road in the world
at no cost, but he does claim that he
knows what constitutes a good road,
and is ready with all confidence to
guarantee to the public that for their
good money they will get value re-
ceiVed, and that is what the public
wants, and, Furthermore, what the
public should get.
