MORE BUSINESS FOR HOMES
DALE.

From what can be learned it is
evident that Honesdale has yet to
see its best days. The calamity
howler, who is more or less promi-
nent in every town, has had his say;
but really, now, what does it amount
to? Things are readjusting them
selves and the people of Honesdale
have all reason to believe that this
town will out-class several of her
sister towns before long. In fact,
Honesdale is far ahead of a number
of towns and some cities, from a
manufacturing standpoint. The ar
ticles made in Honesdale are not
limited to the United States alone,
but large quantities are shipped to
foreign countries. The name of
Honesdale is therefore known
around the globe. Is it any wonder,
then, that people who come to this
place regret to leave after having
spent a few days, yea few hours
in picturesque Honesdale!
The factories in Honesdale are so
located that they do not in any way
obstruct or detract from the beauty
of the town. Some of the factories,
by the way, are covered with ivy
and other creeping vines, which take
away in a measure, the factory ap-
pearance of the buildings.
With the assurance of the trolley
road coming into Wayne county,
there are certainly good times not
far away. The development of this
section of Pennsylvania is something
that will be received with great Joy
and will mean hundreds of dollars
worth of increased business to the
merchants of Honesdale and also to
the farmers through whose land the
proposed line may pass. The road
cannot come too soon.
Increased business will follow in
the wake of the trolley road. New
industries will be induced to build
on the route of the line; dwellings
will be erected, and property at
large will be enhanced in value.
There is not person, who will not
be benefited directly or indirectly.
1t is child talk when men of means
and in business state that the more
people that come to Honesdale the
higher will be the living expenses
and rent. Competition in business
also was mentioned. Now, bless
your dear old heart, Mr.. Merchant,
you don't want to do all the business
in your line. Surely you are not
that selfish!
There is a strong influence being
used to bring about certain condi-
tions that in a few days The Citizen
may be privileged to announce to its
readers concerning a project that
will mean big proposition to our
community. Mum is the world until
then.

JUDGE FULLER EXONERATED

AS was anticipated from the be-
ginning of the impeachment proceed
ings that were instituted against
Judge Henry A. Fuller, of Luzerne
county, the special committee COM
pletely exonerated him from every
charge that had been preferred
against him.
This is no surprise to those who
know Judge Fuller's character,
which as that of men and officials
go, is beyond reproach. There prob
ably is not more honorable or more
conscientious official and citizen at
large in the entire State.
Several members of the committee
of investigation wanted to include in
their report of exoneration a rebuke
and censure to the attorney who
preferred the charges; but, very
properly, this was not done, as the
man had perfect legal right to pre-
fer charges if he did it in no spirit
of malice or revenge, but honestly
desired to promote the public good
and more thoroughly to establish
purity in the methods of judicial ad-
ministration of justice in our State.
1t is generally believed, however,
that personal i'll will and malice were
back of the accusations.
There was only one of the eigh-
teen charges that caused a moments
hesitation on the part of the COM
mittee in reaching their conclusion
and that was the specification rela-
tive to the case of Troxell VS.. Spring
Brook Water Company. In this case
Judge Fuller granted an injunction
restraining Troxell from interfering
with the water company in making
use of certain water rights belong
ing to the defendant, which injunc-
tion, according to the petitioner. was
made more drastic than sought by
the plaintiff.

years the use of cement or concrete
in construction appeared to be dis
placing brick to some extent, but
owing to the strong back to brick"
movement the year 1912 saw in the
New York market change favoring
brick as the best building material
for many purposes. Influences that
have contributed to this change are
the failure of some concrete build
ings, the advertising campaign car
ried on by the brickmakers, and the
improved quality of the Hudson Riv-
er brick. The average price was the
highest since 1906.
The marketed product in 1912
was larger than that of 1911 and
would probably have been still
greater but for the scarcity of labor,
especially at Haverstraw, and the
strike among the brickmakers in
the Newburgh district. The strike,
however, was of short duration, but
the scarcity of labor drawn away by
large construction enterprises, such
as the Catskill aqueduct, railroad ex-
tensions, and subway operations,
was a serious drawback to the Hud-
son River brickmakers in 1912. This
condition was so serious that the
operators resorted to night work and
rainy-day work in loading barges
and imported laborers from the
South.
An important development during
the year was large increase in the
use Of Raritan River brick in New
York city, which has for some years
been drawing on the Raritan region.
1910 tho hf, ~; l.
was very much greater than ever
before.
On the whole the year may be
considered one of prosperity The
demand was good, prices were high,
the mild weather toward the end of
the year permitted shipments to its
very close, and while the marketed
product was not the largest record
ed, it was considerably larger than
that of 1911.
The statistics gathered by Jeffer-
son Middleton, of the United States
Geological Survey, show that the
number of brick marketed in the
Hudson River region in 1912 was L.
019,259, 1000, valued at $5,S50,770, or
1914 a thousand, compared with
926, 200 brick in 1911, valued at
$4,717,633, or $500 thousand.
This was an increase in 1912 of
93,1S7,000 brick and of $1,133,137
in value. The number of operating
firms reporting in 1912 was 1875. AS
in other branches of the clay-work-
ing industry, the number of active
firms reporting is not equivalent to
the number of yards, for many firms
have more than one yard

TAFT, LIKE "BARKIS," us
WILLIN'."

Right in the midst of the present
agitation along the lines of tariff re-
vision, some recent utterances of eX-
President William H. Taft, are time
ly and full of interest. Here is the
way Mr.. Taft puts it:
GO If we are to have free trade let's
have it, and let the party that favors
it vote for it. Let's try it."
The remark was made at New
Haven, Connecticut, on May 5, in
the second of his lectures on ques-
tions of modern government, at Yale
University, of which he is professor
of law. Mr.. Taft also declared that
the three objects of the new
school of political thinkers who
style themselves Progressives, are to
prevent corruption of government by
corporation interests, to create an
equality of opportunity for all men
and to equalize property holdings to
some extent. Persons who do not
concur with this school in the eX-
act method of arriving at the true
purpose of popular government
which is to make for the happiness
of all the people, are called reac-
tionaries. Those of us who fall in
this category must be content, but
we must never cease fighting"
Some people fondly believe thai
popular government can be a posi-
bility without political parties. Or
this subject Mr.. Taft said: "Popu
lar government is impossible with
out parties. A group of men who
are willing to sacrifice minor details
for the sake of a consistent course
for the accomplishment of a few
main things is necessary for efficacy
in government"

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS
CONFERENCE.

Seventh Day Adventists in various
parts of Pennsylvania are preparing
to attend the world conference of
that denomination to be held in
Washington, D. c., May 18th to June
Sth, which will bring together a del
egation of believers in the faith from
all parts of the world.
The East Pennsylvania conference
will be represented by President
Richards and two other delegates.
Every state in the Union will be rep
resented by delegates, in fact, every
country in the world.
All the leading ministers in the
United States and Canada will be in
attendance. The leaders of the de-
nomination in Europe and Australia,
as we'll as those of the mission sta
tions in Africa, Asia and the islands
of the sea, will also come. Black
skinned and yellow skinned men
who have been reclaimed from
heathendom to Christ, some of them
having been among man-eating
tribes, are expected to lend greatly
to the power of the Gospel by their
presence, in fact the gathering will
be made up of races such as never
before were seen in a meeting of
this sort. Over 500 tents will be
pitched for the housing of the peo-
pie which will number over 1000.
Large pavilion tents will be pitch
ed for the meetings and 80 meetings
will be held each day.
Not only will problems confronting
the whole denominations be consider
ed, but the leaders of the different
departments, comprising the educa-
tlonal, college and academies of the

ing a health certificate before mar
riage by an Episcopal rector.
Whether the change in name
amounts to anything or not is ques-
tionable, but that such resolution
amounts to something is a surety.
This is an age of viciousness as well
as of progress. The two are running
pretty close race, and it is high
time that some steps were taken to
protect public health and family
happiness.
The action taken by the Episcopal
church at Philadelphia is so sane and
so right that all the other denom-
nations will speedily fall in line.
1t is well enough to weigh the right
of divorced people to re-marry, but
it is much better to take steps to
preserve public health and morals,
for such steps will tend to check the
constantly increasing number Of ap-
plicants for relief from the miseries,
real or imaginary, of ill-advised and
hastily contracted marriages.
In speaking to the Young Mems
Guild of the Lutheran church, at
their annual banquet, Judge Searle
recently said, among other timely
utterances: The care of the body
is the greatest asset any young man
can have" The Judges statement
is right in line with the action of the
Episcopal church, and all who act
and talk along those lines are pro-
gressive in all that that term implies.

"THE ROOT OF EVIL"

In another part of today's Citizen
we publish the first installment OF
Thomas Dixon's great story which he
has named "The Root of Evil" This
name, of course is taken from the
Bible, the authorized version of
which, in 1 Timothy, 10th verse of
the 9Th chapter, declares that "The
love of money is the root Of all evil,
but which in the revised version is
rendered thus: THE love of money is
the root of many kinds of evil" Mr..
Dixon's mind naturally runs to bibli-
cal names for his productions, at
least for suggestions along that line,
as witness his first story of The
Leopard's Spots
Talking about "The Root reminds
us that another Dixon, James Henry
Dixon, who lived in England and who
died in 1876, wrote something along
that line, as follows:
"God made bees, and bees made
honey,
God made man, and man made
money;
Pride made the devil, and the devil
made sin;
So God made coal-pit to put the
devil in"
So much for the title of the story.
Now, we urge you to turn to the
opening installment to-day and read
it. If you don't, you will be sorry
later on when you hear your ac-
quaintances discussing it's many mer-
its,
In order that everybody may have
a chance to read this story and, Incl
dentally to get acquainted with The
Citizen, we begin with this number
to put a sample copy into every
Honesdale and Hawley home, as well
as into the homes of Texas township
people. We shall continue to do this
for four weeks, when we are very
sure you will be so pleased with The
Citizen that you will actually feel
that you cannot keep house without
it."

The report shows that the allega-
tions in this case warranted an in
yestigation, especially as certain rel
atives of Judge Fuller we're inter-
ested in the water company, and he
himself was a stockholder and direc-
tor in bank which held stock in the
concern. These circumstances were
gone into by the committee, but the
conclusions reached show that they
did not justify impeachment and that
Judge Fuller's conduct has been
consistently honorable.
Now, The Citizen wonders if those
newspapers that, in season and out
of season, published every bit of ad-
verse criticism and uncalled for in
nuendo against Judge Fuller will
now have the common decency and
fairness to utter some word of apol-
ogy for having Joined in an effort
for his destruction. Right minded
men are always anxious to make the
amende honorable when circum-
stances warrant it; but, alas, there
are others, and some of them in the
journalistic profession, who will new
er right public wrong, but will al
low their public utterances to stand
and, in all their bitterness and un-
fairness, to be handed on and on un-
til they are lost in the vanishing
echoes of the years to come. Some

A MILLION THOUSAND BRICKS.
Lower Hudson River Region Describ-

Survey as Vast Brickery.

1t is difficult to realize the enorm-
Gus quantities of brick used annually
in Greater New York. During 1912
the consumption was over 100000
thousand. The principal source of
this vast quantity is the Hudson Riv-
er region, which extends along both
sides of the river from New York
City to Cohoes and embraces ten
counties, nine in New York and one
in New Jersey. Other sources of
supply are the Raritan River region
of New Jersey and the Connecticut
region.
The year 1912 was one of unusual
interest in the Hudson River region.

for brick, and the price for common
brick was 81 thousand, compared
with $4.25 in 1911. For several

The best advice that can be given
to advertisers is-DONT MISREP-
RESENT YOUR GOODS.
You cannot make a repeater of an
inferior article-you cannot become
permanently successful in business by
flirting with the truth in your adver-
tisements.
A large manufacturer of a house.
hold specially learned this to his sor-
row-after it was too late. He spent
100000 last year for advertising
his device at half the price of other
widely advertised machines used for
the same purpose.
The advertisements stated that this
machine would do more and better
work than any other, regardless Of
price. For a few months the vol
ume of business was very great but
soon the sales began to drop in
leaps and bounds.
Investigation showed that disap-
pointed purchasers were warning
their friends against buying this arti-
Gle and competitors were proving the
falsity of the advertised claims. The
manufacturer then discontinued his
advertising until the public could
forget it, and he is now making good
by selling his goods on their merits.

was satisfactory until a weeks
brushing disclosed numerous flaws.
These hats were the poorest grade
of seconds, specially treated to hide
the defects. My hat would have been
dear at a dollar.
These two examples illustrate the
folly of untruthful advertising. An
inferior article advertised to be
something better than it really IS
will not be sold twice to the same
customer. 1t can never be a re-
peater.
The bargain sale must be a sale of
real bargains. Advertising has made
the people shrewd, discriminating
buyers. A careful shopper will spot
an honest value as readily as the
most capable buyer on the dealers
staff.
Ws believe advertising is here to
stay. The best evidence of this is
the continuous growth of the sub
stantial concerns using these col
umns.
Every successful merchant knows
that it costs money to obtain good
will and a reputation. The money
expended for advertising must not
only sell the article advertised, but
must make the customer come again
and again.
