HUNTING COSTS 1886 LIVES
Wisconsin Heads the Death Rol
With 30 Fatalities.

The hunting season which ended
Dec. 1 cost 1876 lives in 21 States
according to tabulation by a paper
In addition, 140 persons were injur1
ed, several of them fatally. Wiscon]
sin was the chief sufferer of the sea-
son, with total of 29 dead and 27
injured. Michigan came next with
2S dead and 16 injured. New York
was third with 10 dead and one in
jured.
The careless handling of weapon.
was the chief cause of death. Thir.
ty-seven persons lost their lives az
their own hands. Twenty-four 9th
ers shot themselves but escaped will
lesser injuries. The careless travel
ing companion was held responsible,
for "a deaths and one injured.
The man who shoots everything
he sees moving in the bushes wa
held responsible for II deaths anC
10 injuries. Sixteen hunters wer,
drowned while searching for game.
1t was estimated that 10000 hunt

York the total is placed at more thai
100000.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Wilson's address to the
second session of the SiXty-thlrd
Congress, delivered in person as were
the other addresses he has made to
that body, possesses the merit OF be-
ing brief and while it contains moth
ing of startling Importance, it pre-
sents many ideas which are decided
ly interesting.
For instance, his advocacy OF
Nationwide primary election at
which shall be nominated the candl-
dates for President, is extending
this primary election idea further
than anyone else has so far gone.
He fayors National conventions Tor
the purpose only of framing plat
forms and declaring and accepting
the verdict of the primaries. These
conventions, he thinks, should be
composed not of delegates chosen es-
pecially for the purpose, but or the
candidates for the House and Senate
hold over members of these bodles'
the members of the National COM
mittees and the candidates them
selves. so that all concerned in the
carrying out of party platforms be
engaged in their making. the respon-
sibility for both the platforms and
their enforcement being thus placed
This is a novel idea and 1T has
something to recommend it although
il appears to be more idealistic than
practical, as we might expect from
Wilson. AS the leader of his party
he might be able to commit it to such
a method of procedure, but 1t is
doubtful that the Republicans will
look with any favor on the idea.
AS to Huerta, he simply reiterates
that the policy of ''watchful waiting
shall be continued. He states agar
that Huerta is a usurper, that ne
must go and that we of this country
are not only "the friends OF con
stitutional government in America
but that 1--WE are more than III

The WIDER USE OF
The SCHOOL PLANT

What Honesdale's Building is Used
Fora Surprise to Many The
Citizen Reproduces Letter Sent
to Commissioner of Education.
In answer to letter to p P Clax-
ton, Commissioner of Education,
Washington, Il g., Professor II. a.
Oday, principal of, the Honesdale
schools, has prepared the following,
entitled "The Wider Use of the
School Plant"
Dec. 8, 1913.
P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Edu-
cation, Washington, d. G..
Dear Sir:
In regard to the wider use of the
school plant" l beg to submit the
following: Honesdale is a borough of
three thousand inhabitants with a
suburban population of about three
thousand more. In the borough
there is one school building in which
is located the free library owned by
the school but free to the people of
the entire community whether in or
out of the borough, in fact all the
social activities in connection with
the school are free to all residents
of the community. The library is
open every school day from four till
five and every Tuesday and Friday
from three till five and seven till
nine p. m.
The Ladies' improvement society
hold their regular monthly meeting
in the school, The Civic's club, a
company of ladies studying civics and
current topics, meet in the school
every Tuesday night.
The Boys Band of about thirty
members, most of whom are school
boys, practice in the school every
Tuesday from four till six. The
I High school orchestra and various
glee clubs of the school use the
building very much for practice
work.
On two Saturdays of each month
trained reader from a nearby city
gives readings in the school build
ing. One night week the gymnas-
ium is used for the girls of the
town. On four different nights foul
classes of boys and young men meet
in the gymnasium and the average
attendance of these classes is about
forty-five, on Saturday nights, teams
representing these four classes meet
in friendly contest. At various
times during the year, one of the
gymnasium classes will give theil
night to the students of the schoo
for the holding of dances. The au
ditorium is used in addition to the
nights already mentioned for the
county teachers institute, lectures
on poultry, chestnut tree blight ant
various other subjects.

at once and he urges provisions that
will enable the farmer to finance his
crop; the antitrust law is COM
mended but it ought to be so revised
or supplemented with more explicit
legislation that it's administration
will be facilitated.
The Philippines are to be develop
ed along lines which work toward
their ultimate independence. They
are not quite ready for this, he says,
but he believes they eventually will
be. In Alaska full territorial form
of government is advocated and the
government should develop all nat
ural resources.
He thinks we lead the world in the
efforts for peace and he wants all
the treaties or arbitration awaiting
renewal by the Senate to be ratified.
He urges legislation to safeguard
workmen both on land and sea, an
employers liability act, and other
economic reforms.
1t will be seen that the great mass
of this address is purely idealistic
and that it contains little to show
how the ideals dealt with are to be
realized. 1t cannot, for that reason
be expected to make a very deep i'm
preston nor to accomplish very
much in a practical way.-Philadel

Congress on Monday closed up the
extraordinary session which began
April T, and settled down to the
grind of the regular long" session,
expected to last we'll into next sum-
mer. Only the absolutely necessary
formality marked the ending of the
old session and the beginning of the
new.
The Senate was at work practically
all day, and at short night session
completed the first reading of the
Currency bill, but adjourned without
a formal opening of the debate. Sen
ator Owen announced that he ex-
pected discussion of the measure to
open late tomorrow.

HOT BLANKETS SAVE
WOMAN FROM DEATH,

New York.-Mrs. Ada Welsberger,
3S years old, has been discharged
from a hospital as completely re-
covered from the effects of fifteen
grains of poison which she swallow
ed by mistake twenty-one days ago.
No operation was performed.
The treatment consisted in keep
ing Mrs. Weisberger wrapped in
steaming hot blankets during the
first fifteen days. These blankets
were dipped in boiling water and
changed every fifteen minutes. AT
the same time all windows in the
room were kept open that the pa
tient might have a continuous supply
of fresh air. A diet of milk, eggs
flour and sweet oil was adhered to
throughout the twenty-one days.

THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

Stagnation is death, whether
it be physical or spiritual. A pool
cannot be pure and sweet unless
there is an outlet as well as an
inlet. Unless you use for the SER
vice of others what God has al
ready given you, you will find 1t
a long weary road to spiritual un-
derstanding.-H. Emile Cady.

One Billion Dollars Asked.

Congress is asked to appropriate
$1,1OS, ,681,777 to operate the Gov
ernment of the United States during
the fiscal year 1915, according to the
estimates prepared by each depart
ment and sent to the House by Secre-
tary McAdoo of the Treasury. With
this vast sum the Government will
maintain the battleships and forts,
and the armies in the States and in
the countries that border the seven
seas; it will keep the scales of JUS
tice balanced; endeavor to retain the
friendship of foreign nations, look
after domestic prosperity and seek
at intervals to discover how ways
in which to better health, improve
living conditions and investigate the
merits of the thousand new things in
industry and commerce that come to
it's attention.
The estimates submitted are $22,-
S64,067 in excess of the appropria-
tions for the last fiscal year, but
their total falls $39,255,O66 below
the estimates for that year.
