LET US BOOST HoNEsDALE.

The town has just been inspired
by out-of-town parties along civic
progressiveness and it now lies with
the townspeople to grasp the oppor-
tunities suggested. What Homes
dale needs is a number of energetic
and intelligent citizens whose hobby
is the transformation of this town
into busy, buZzing town. Homes
dale is a beautiful residential town.
1t cannot be improved upon for
scenery. The surroundings are ideal.
Many building lots and houses are
still available for the retired who
may be attracted to Honesdale by
an outside agency or advertising
medium. On all sides of Honesdale
there are ideal spots for the construc-
ton of picturesque homes. Greater
Honesdale is bound to come. Any
where the different highways lead
ing to the town proper are numerous
building sites that could be trans
formed into beauty spots.
There will be considerable build
ing activity in Honesdale this sea-
son. With the prospects of the ad-
dition of a few industries to awaken
new hope of Honesdale, the build
ing activity here would soon reach
the dimensions of a boom.
All we need is a score of real ac-
tive, energetic men, whose hobby is
the growth of Honesdale, to devote
their talents and energies to secur-
ing Industrial establishments and
providing homes for working men.
Every member of the Greater
Honesdale Board of Trade who wants
to be termed real booster and live
wire and who is interested in the
growth and prosperity of Honesdale
should be present at Friday nights
meeting in the city hall.

PREMATURE PRAISE.

No newly elected President of the
United States has been more loudly
acclaimed or more warmly praised
than Woodrow Wilson. Every time
he opens his mouth to speak, a host
of admirers eulogize his English and
marvel at his craftsmanship and
philanthropy. 1t would be wiser to
sing these songs of praise when there
is something worth singing about.
President Wilson has hardly got his
chair warmed in the White House.
He has done nothing as yet except
tell us what he will and will not do.
His achievements to date as the chief
magistrate of this nation are exactly
nil.
The task confronting him is a
stupendous one. If he handles it
successfully and satisfactorily, he
will indeed be worthy of praise, but
if he fails, he will simply have proved
that his abilities are not equal to his
egotism.
Premature praise too often be-
comes the severest. kind of con-
demnation.

DOCKERY GETS POST BERTH
President Wilson Appoints Ex-Govern-
or of Missouri as Third Assistant
to Postmaster Burleson.

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson made it plain that he intends
to show Speaker Champ Clark every
possible consideration. The President
puts high value upon the goodwill of
the Speaker, and is determined to
recognize Mr.. Clark's right to speak
in patronage matters.
The Speaker and Senator Stone had
an engagement with Mr.. Wilson for
11.30 o'clock. The President told Mr..
Clark he would be glad to listen to his
recommendations. Mr.. Clark remained
at the executive Offices less than half
an hour, but within two hours of his
departure the nominations of the Mis-
sourian whom he had recommended
was on the way to the Senate in the
hands of an executive messenger. This
was Alex. M. Dockery, Ex-Governor of
Missouri, to be third assistant post
master-general.
Other appointments by the Presi-
dent were:
Peter j. Hamilton of Mobile, Ala,
to be United States District Judge for
Porto Rico.
Daniel C. Roper of South Carolina,
to be First Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral.
James /. Blaikslee of Pennsylvania,
to be Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General.

HARRISBURG LETTER

Harrisburg, March 12.-When the
proposition came up in the House to
adjourn that body during all of last
week, as the Senate had already
agreed to do because of the Inaugural
ton, so many members opposed it on
the ground that it would be unwise
to quit work for an entire week that
it was decided to stick to the original
scheme to reconvene Wednesday
evening and sit for the balance of the
week. The devotion to duty of the
assemblymen who insisted upon
keeping everlastingly at it, even if
the Democrats were making holi-
day at Washington does them much
credit of course, but after looking
back over what they accomplished
during the sessions they held it must
be confessed that their theory did not
work out very well. To be sure, a
mass of new bills were introduced,
but new bills, such as most of them
are, are beginning to be a positive
nuisance at this session. Already
the total number far exceeds that of
any previous Legislature and it will
be another week before the flood
stops in pursuance to a resolution
adopted sometime ago.
The trouble last week was that
many assemblymen did not return
for the proceedings of Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday and many of
those who did come did not stay. AS
a result the sponsors of bills to which
opposition was expected and who
feared to put them to test in a
small House adopted a variety of ex-
pedients to have them go over when
they were reached on the calendar.
Several measures, the authors of
which had promised to call them up,
are now scheduled for action during
this week, also because of this dis
inclination to risk them at such a
time. Among this latter class are
the mercantile tax repeater and the
resolution for a statewide prohibi-
ton amendment to the constitution.
The failure to call up the latter led
to open charges of attempts to evade
the issue. AS is not unusual in the
case of liquor legislation the nerves
of many assemblymen are on edge
about this particular resolution and
they are anxious to get it out of the
way.
After much delay the Democratic
bill which seeks to revise the method
of making appropriations to hospi-
tails, homes and other charitable in
stitutions went in Friday morning.
1t embodies a radical departure from
existing methods and would put all
appropriations on a fiat basis of
$1.65 per free patient per day. In
actual practise it probably would act
as bar upon appropriations for
special conditions and special pur-
poses and on that ground it is likely
to. meet with a great deal of opposi-
ton. Many hospital plants through
out the commonwealth, for instance,
are in state of partial completion
and are depending upon state funds
to round out their equipment and
facilities. There is prospect that
all this would stop should the Dem
ocratic bill pass. The natural effect
would be either to throw an unfair
burden upon some communities or
compel them to get along with in
stitutions not in position to give the

CHURCH GAINS AND LOSSES.

There are 36,675,537 members of
Christian churches in the United
States, an increase of 579,S52 for
1912, according to figures published
in the New York Christian Advocate
and made up by DR.. H. X. Carroll,
who was the government statistican
for 1890, and has since collected and
published church statistics each
year.
The men and religion movement,
which was to add 100000 men to
Protestant membership, concluded
its campaign in April-nearly a year
ago. The increase for 1912 is less
by $4,000 than the increase in 1911,
before the movement started. The
1911 growth was 594,366. Accord
ing to Dr. Carroll, Christians in the
United States are divided in this
way; Roman Catholics, 12,907, 900;
Methodists, 6,9O5,OOO; Baptists, s.
ss4,OOO; Lutherans, 1853, 900; Pres
byterians, 1881, 700; Episcopalians,

Washington, D. c.. March 13.-
William H. Berry, ex-State Treasurer
of Pennsylvania, and the man who
made the unsuccessful fight as the
Keystone candidate for the govern
orship against John X. Tener, is be-
ing groomed as the next Treasurer
of the United States. He is being
strongly urged for the place by Ma
tional Committeeman A. Mitchell
Palmer and the Pennsylvania DEM
ocratic organization. His name has
been presented to President Wilson
and Secretary of the Treasury Will
liam G. McAdoo.

sylvania to the number of 1876, and
residing in districts now represented
by Republican congressman, will be
filled with Democrats within the next
three weeks. The commissioners Of
the Republican incumbents have ex-
pired and the President, 1t is under
stood, will rely upon the Judgment
of the Pennsylvania Democratic or
ganiZation to recommend capable
men for the positions.
Representative Palmer, who will
have large part in the selection Of
Keystone State Democrats for Fed
eral positions, is authority for the
statement that no Republican now
holding office will be disturbed until
his commission has expired, unless it
is for malfeasance in office.

"Dick and Up-to-Date."
(Original Fable.)

One day as old Dick was taking
a load of beets to the factory, he
passed his rival Up-to-Date (for
whom he had little liking) going at
the rate of thirty miles an hour
while poor Dick moved on very slow
ly. His friend cried, Come along
Dick, why don't you go as fast as II"
The old horse said nothing while the
automobile laughed and made fun
of Dick because he dragged along
so slowly.
The horse kept on going at the
same rate and whenever the automo-
bile met Dick, he would always say
said nothing but thought much. He
wanted to find some way of getting
even with his opponent.
One afternoon when Dick was TAX
ing his master and mistress for a
ride he was overtaken by his friend,
going at the same rate as usual, and
the automobile cried, ooh here is
Mr.. Slow" and went on laughing
This made Dick very angry. His
master made him go along a little
faster but they did not travel for
more than a half hour when they
passed Up-to-date in the ditch
What are you doing here, Mr.
Fast?" cried Dick and now, he be-
gan to laugh. So hard did friend
Up-to-date beg that Dick helped him
out of his trouble and pulled him
home, laughing most of the time and
the rest of the time saying, "He

REASONS WHY HONEsDALE is
THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE.

A certain element in this vicinity
which is satisfied to remain asleep
and rest in a quiet manner has been
aroused and greatly disturbed by the
visit to Honesdale of two wideawake
and progressive newspaper men, j.
Maynard Morgan, advertising speci-
alist, and M. H. Weyrauch, of the edi-
torial staff of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle. These gentlemen came to
Honesdale upon invitation of the
secretary of the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade who saw what they
were accomplishing in other towns.
He felt confident what would help
Sullivan county towns would help
Honesdale, consequently it was upon
his request that these gentlemen
came here to boom tnd boost
Honesdale. They were with us four
days and during their short stay
made a number of warm friends.
The purpose and plan of their
visit to Honesdale has already been
given in this paper, therefore it suf-
fees us to say more concerning their
work, other than to give an outline
of what three months advertising
campaign would do for Honesdale.
First, it would present the ad-
vantages of Honesdale before mil
lions of readers in Brooklyn and
New York in light that would at
tract.
Second, the town as commercial
place would be shown in manner
that it has never been presented be-
fore. The opportunities in Homes
dale would be forcibly brought out.
Third, as a place to establish fac
tories. The manufacturer in the
city will be told that Honesdale has
advantages that New York and
Brooklyn have not. How it would be
more profitable to locate here than
elsewhere.
Fourth, Honesdale as being an
ideal summer resort. Irving Cliff
will be presented in a most charm
ing light before Brooklynite eyes.
| This ledge of rocks, which STANDS like
sentinel guarding the town, rivals
any site in the United States, on
which to build summer boarding
| hotel.
Fifth, Honesdale as quite resi-
Dental town for retired gentlemen
and their families to live will also
| be emphasized.

presented intelligently and forcibly
before the people of Brooklyn and
New York, the Brooklyn Eagle repre-
sentatives visited several of the bus.

TO BREAK UP DISEASED
CATTLE TRAFFIC,

II. w. Derstine, a cattle dealer, of
Telford, Montgomery county, has
bee been convicted and fined one
hundred and seventy-five dollars
($175.00) by the United States
Court at Baltimore, for violating the
Federal and Pennsylvania interstate
cattle laws. Derstine shipped a COW
that reacted to the tuberculin test
from Hagerstown, Maryland, into
Pennsylvania. The COW when killed
showed extensive LESSONS of tubercu-
losis.
This case is the outcome of the
arrangement for cooperation be-
tween the United States and the
Pennsylvania State Livestock Sani-
tary Board officials to break up the
traffic in diseased cattle.

but a moment filled with life and

Douglas, Ariz., March IL. = En-
camped within striking distance of
several important Mexican border
towns, the $500 constitutionalist
troops rested on their arms while In
surrections among Federal garr1sons

forces.
Nacozari and Ell Tigre, Sonora, both
mining towns, are in the hands of the
so-called constitutionalists of Sonora
Both towns we're evacuated by the
Federal troops on Sunday night after
| fighting News of their fall reached
the border Tuesday.
Superiority of numbers on the part
of the Sonora State troops resulted in
the victory. These are the first towns
taken by the rebels in the present
revolution.
At Nacozari the rebels captured
very little ammunition and very few
rifles. The Federals escaped with
| their machine guns. Colonel Lopez,
who commanded the Federals, was
shot through the neck and died next
morning shortly after reaching Aqua
Prieta on the border with his defeated
command. He brought twenty wound
ed with him and left about fifteen
dead at Nacozari. He brought 175
mep to the border out of a garrison
of 200.
At El Tigre the Federal garrison
fed before many of its men had been
either killed or wounded, and the vic
torious rebel State troops pursued and
succeeded in capturing a part of the
ammunition and many of the arms of
the Federals.

President Huerta announced that he
expects the complete pacifcation of

is to have the country completely
pacified by the time his successor is

have prevailed among the 250 Federal
defenders of Aqua Prieta, and the

to all Americans to leave town.
