Pardoned After 13 Years.
"Kate Edwards, found guilty of murdering her husband thirteen
years ago and under the shadow of the noose all these years, was
released from the county jail at Reading last Friday under a par-
don granted by Governor Tener. Three former governors, Stone,
Pennypacker and Stuart, refused to set a day for her execution
Last week, however, the Pardon Board recommended her freedom.
During her imprisonment her life has undergone a transformation,
so that the Kate Edwards of old is a changed women.

Few Remonstrances.
| A comparatively small number of remonstrances is being pre-
sented to the court this year against the granting of liquor licenses.
This cannot mean that the forces against the saloon are decreas-
ing, or that the sentiment against granting licenses is weakening.
It means that the temperance people believe general remonstrances
‘will have no effect with the court, but a new question is raised this
Jear with reference to some of the applicants, and the court will be
called upon not only to note the required number of names, s, but the
charge is made .that many of the signers of Stoyestown are not
REPUTABLE citizens. This will mean that the court has to decide
in that case whether those signers are reputableor not. Several
new towns in the northern part of the county are on the list for
license, but strong remonstrances are out against them. But aside
from the several cases where strong opposition is made, the county
is not taking a verygactive interest in remonstrating. There seems
to be a calm preceding a: storm which will be far-reaching in its
effects.

The winter season is here, but the business world is ever active
and always looking ahead to do more and bigger things in_the the
future, and while that is the uppermost thought in the minds _of
the people, algng with the planning for more and greater things,
our thought should be in connection with the greater, bigger and
better things for Meyersdale, also where every one can find em-
ployment, where every house has a tenant, and thrift and prosper-
~ ity make the people contented and comfortable.] i Cr
~_ Meyersdale, beautifully located, healthful as to climate, having
good stores and all conveniences common to an enterprising “com-
munity, should advance and take a commanding place in the near
future. We have some industries. These should be fostered when-
ever possible, then we should reach out and get others. The labor
consideration is always an important matter.”3tThe call for one
hundred more women should mean a hundred who are not now
engaged in some industry alreadyfin operation.§ Let 100 names
come to the Commercial Club and it seems that a new industry will
find its home in Meyersdale.

o State Tickets.
That the Penrose organization is realizing the stiff proposition
that confronts it is seen in its effort to secure a candidate of high
standing for Governor. The field has been canvassed and the hope
for success seems to lie in 'ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart, but the
ex-governor evidently could not see his way clear to again become’
a candidate for the exalted office, and now the organization has
apparently centered on Dr. Brumbaugh, a man who has a reputa-
tion as a scholar and possessing many qualities that are essential in
this day of independent thinking and independent voting, to attract
the voter. Of course any man on the Penrose ticket must be a
Joyal Penrose man, What the Progressives will finally do remains
for, the future to determine. -
The Democracy has two strong aiid capable men in Palmer for
the United States Senate and McCormick for Governor, and with
Farmer Creasy somewhere on the state ticket, would make a com-
bination that would attract the urban and rural veters. ‘Men o1
such character would be the highest expression of the clearest vis-
jon and profoundest wisdom of the Democratic party whether em-
anating from the White House or the spontaneous utterance of a
united and aggressive party. ee, SE

Parents’ Day.
The public schools of Meyersdale presented a sight on Parents’
Day that could not help but mgke the blood course a little more
freely and with more color than for many a day. . When one con-
siders the heavy taxes that are annually paid to support our public
schools one wonders what returns will come from all this. The
public was permitted to see the work that is being done from the
little six-year-olds up through the grades and high school. "When
we think for a moment of the penmanship of the second gr ade pu-
pils, the map drawing and coloring, and here it may not be out or
place to call attention to the work of map drawing by Jeanette
Cole, a colored girl in Miss Floto’s room. EThe work seems
perfect. The fact is it was a proud day for Meyersdale. - Many
helped to contribute to this success. First of 2ll was the guiding
head of our schools, the supervising principal. (Of course, the board
of directors was in full sympathy and gave help and encourage-
ment, then the enthusiastic teachers in the preparation, then the
disciplined, vivacious, exuberant boys and girls, the ladies of the
Parent Teachers’ Association, then the surging, teeming proud
fathers and mothers, the enthusiastic and well wishing friends. It
was an epoch in the school work of Meyersdale,fwhen nearly four
thousand visits were made. All who honored the day by a visit
were well pleased. “An occasional visit, not on a holiday, would
doubtless amply repay anyone for the time spent in the s¢hools of
Mey rersdale.
