May the morrow be ushered in bright and calm, may the na-
tion in raptures of joy make proper account of this day in grateful
remembrance of the stability of our government, and the union of
our states, indissoluble and in their sovereign integrity. May the
youth of our land grow up inspired with the spirit of patriotism,
and high ideals; may the veterans of the Civil War accept the na-
tions tribute as a token of their valor and as an evidence of her
appreciation, and may the last days of the old soldier be happy in
the consciousness that the nation is not unmindful of her soldiers,
dead, whether they sleep beneath the waving palmettos of North
Carolina, the depths of the oceans brine, the great city of the dead
at Gettysburg or the silent chambers in Somerset county’s ceme-
teries; nor forgetful of the living, whose tottering steps and dim-
med eyes, whose faltering voice and quivering pulse, still remind
us that the sun is setting, that the sands of time are dropping fast
and the taps will soon be sounded.
Our Graduates.
To the young men and young women who for the last time
pass out the doors of our public schools to-morrow as students, we
extend our hearty congratulations and genuine good will. They
have finished the course laid down for them and on the day of their
. graduation let all stand aside and let them feel the truth that,
“Hodie mihi, cras tibi—to-day to me, to-morrow it belongs to you’
for on the day of graduation all honor is paid to them, but the fol-
lowing day the world is too busy and they themselves have joined
the ranks of that busy, active, irrepressible organism which is the
irresistible force in the great world movement, expending its ener-
gy, in bringing about better conditions, lifting the world to a high-
er plane, and placing before humanity higher ideals. To the young
men and women of the Meyersdale High School we extend a hearty
God-speed in the work of life. Much is expected from them, be-
cause of their greater opportunities. But for the success which
crowned these young peoples’ efforts, do not forget those in autori-
ty in our schools, nor the sacrificing mother, and the patient father
who perchance carried a heavy load throughout these many years.
The Two Wings Try to Flop Together
The two grand divisions—the reactionaries and the progress-
{ves of the Republican party are trying to obliterate their differ-
ences and come toa mutual agreement, so that they may be able
to make a united effort against their common enemy. Those who
are guiding the project have a big contract on their hands, and the
outcome 1s looked upon with skepticism, ‘the factis the two ele-
ments are as far apart in sympathy, in aspirations, and in concep-
tion of the rights of the people as is the east fromthe west. The
one stands for an insolent olicarghy, claiming a premium on brains,
power, office, wealth and far removed from the masses, while the
other element stands for higher ideals and recognizes the modern
gpirit which has become part of every man, that every man has
rights and that his rights must be respected. If these two divisio .s
get together on a working basis, it will prove one of the most mer-
cenary arrangements that the world has ever known. They do
not belong together. : ;
tried to control the Baltimore convention and failed, and the pro-
gressives belong to that part of the democratic party which won
the day at Baltimore and later swept the nation. If Woodrow Wil-
son throughout his administration demonstrates that he is a real
progressive and up to this time he has given every indication, and
if the coming tariff law can be adjusted without a very consider-
able disturbance, the future of the nation will have no room for
the reactionary. The moanings and the groanings, the warnings
and the scornings of the people of the once great Republican par-
ty went too long unheeded and were despised by Cannon, Aldrich
and Penrose, and hosts of those who have been swept out of power
and are object lessons to the world of political tyrants who betray-
ed the trust and deprived their countrymen of their sacred privi-
leges, men will never again put their trust in them and the party
that in the future will be controlled by that class is doomed to de-
feat by the people who are more and more knowing their rights
and recognizing their power.

0;0 Magnolia Paw Paw cut-off to be
built by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. They were at work on the first
section. Henry Mathews, 2030 Sara-
toga street, Baltimore, was in charge
of the gang, and W. J. Kelley, of Am-
blersburg, W. Va., the powder man,
stated last night that the men’ had
been warned to get out of the way
but it was not the intention to shoot
off the blast until passenger trains
Nos. 8 and 2 and the freight train had
passed. No. 8 was nearly two hours
late and was running on No. 2’s time.
There were about 40 in the gang, in-
cluding two negroes, and with the ex-
ception of the men struck all sought
refuge in a nearby hollow. Mules had
been unhitched from ‘carts and taken
away as were also tools. The acci-
dent happened on a reverse curve and
the freight train obscured the ap-
proach of the passenger. Mr. Kelly,
the powder man, had not yet con-
nected the wires of the battery for the
blast when the men were told to seek
shelter. The coroner of Paw Paw, W.
Va., was on the scene and exonerated
Mathews and Kelly after he heard
the testimony.
The men had been working on the
embankment on the west side of the
road. Foreman Matthews said the
heads of three of the victims were
scooped out, the shells alone remain-
ing. Others were decapitated and
arms and legs were scattered promis-
culously about. The men were hurled
in all directions and all were instantly
killed.
Actual work on the cut-off has not
yet started. The contractors have
been busy excavating to put in their
plants and make room for the steam
shovels.

we are all getting old and it is up to
us to look out for our health first.

for me and he will soon buy me out,
then, I can live retired.
Within the last week three of our
