NO MOUNTAIN LAUREL
FOR STATE EMBLEM.
Govenor Brumbaugh has ‘vetoed the
Geiser bill designating the mountain
laurel as the official State flower of
Pennsylvania. : :
The Governor gave three reasons
for his action. First, that there was
no evidence of widespread public
sentiment in favor of this measure,
and a State flower should be the
shoice of the people generally.
Second, that the leaves of the laurel
plant are poisonous. Third, that the
laurel is th State flower of Connecti-
cut.
The governor remarked that the
laurel was a beautiul flower, but was
not associatd in a distinctive way with
the life of Pennsylvania.
HEFFLEY—DEAL.
Miss Bertha Lee Deal, a daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Deal,
of this place, a sister of Levi Deal, of
Miller & Collins’ Store, was married
in Johnstown Saturday evening to
Howard E. Heffley, a well-known
newspaper man of that city. The cer-
emony was performed by the Rev.
John Harvey Mickley, pastor of St.
John’s Reformed church, where both
of the contracting pair are members
of the choir.
The bride until recently was for a
year at the bead of the Infants’ wear
department of the big Penn Traffic
store, Johnstown. Mr. Heffley is a
native of Stoyestown where he is well
known and has numerous relatives all
through that section of this county.
He is a relative of John Dively of this
place. Mr. and Mrs. Heffley will re-
side in Plainfield, Johnstown, where
work will be soon started on a bunga-
low for them.
Charles H. Fisher, one of the old-
est merchants of Somerset, who
conducted a bookstore there for 36
years, died there Wednesday of last
week. He enlisted as a volunteer in
the Civil war when he was 16 years
of age. He was a member of Com-
pany B, 46th Regiment. In the second
day’s fight of the Battle of Chancel-
lorsville Mr. Fisher was left on the
field with a bullet wound through
both thighs. An ounce musket ball
fractured and shattered the bones of
the left thigh. He was confined to a
hospital in Washington for almost a
year and mever fully recovered from

MEYERSDALE MINISTERIAL ASSO-
CIATION BEING MISUNDERSTOOD.
New York City, Pittsburg and other newspaper beacons are hurling
more or less subdued invectives against the Meyersdaie, Ministerial
Association for taking the stand that it was inconsistent or. them to
officiate at a funeral with the officers of lodges which maintain side
boards, as such organizations endorse the drink habit and the ministe-
i rium opposes the same; besides Holy Writ denounces intemperanc,
saying “No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.”
For the Christian ministry to be allied even tacitly with that which
is wrong and which industrial corporations ‘are tabooing because of
the inefficiency of its votaries, is to play untrue to their trust. :
The press of the country distant from Meyersdale is either ignorantly
or willfully misrepresenting the local clergy in stating that they refuse
to bury a man who in life was a member of such lodge. Those who have
read the resolution adopted by our ministers will remember that the
position taken was merely against lodges participating in the fimeral
service and not against burying of the individual members without
participation of the lodge at the funeral services. The ministers of the
town here have expressed a willingness to bury with a Christian
service any person, whose family or friends call upon him to perform
that service, but they take éxception to participating infuneral services
in which a lodge as such maintains a sideboard, which custom is
contrary to the teaching of the Scriptures.
One editor, after a long reproof of the short vision and narrow-mind-
edness of the Meyersdale clergy, breaks forth with the following il-
logical close—*“For those who lie and steal, and commit adultery, and
those who bear false witness, will also have to be committed to earth
without prayer or song, if men whose ideas differ from theirs, are to
be passed by thus.”

GOV. BRUMBAUGH STAUNCH FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Though elected on the regular Republican ticket, which avowed
nothing concerning a local option law in the pre-election campaign
while his opponents were pronouncedly in favor of such legislation,
Governor Brumbaugh’s attitude and ardor in favor of local option must
come as a shock to the leaders of his party and at the same
time is a cause for deep gratitude for pro-local opticn supporters.
The editor of The Commercial received this week one of the many
letters being sent out by the governor all over the sta:3, as follows:
“You are earnestly requested to be present at a c¢oaference on the
Williams County Local Option Bill in Harrisburg morning and evening
of April 6th and a hearing in the House of Representatives, in the
Capitol Building, Harrisburg, Tuesday afternoon, Apri! 6th, i915 at
2:30 o’clock. J
It is needless to impress upon you that I consider the County Option
measure which will receive consideration at this conference, one of
the most important bills to come before this session of the Legislature.
I am very anxious that it shall be passed.
I trust that you will attend the conference and that you will urge
your friends to accompany you to this conference.
Cordially yours,
MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH.
THE KIND OF REPUBLICAN THE PEOPLE WANT.
There are some aspirants for the nomination of office in ‘the Repub-
lican ranks in Somerset county, whose chief qualification seems to he
that they are strictly Republican, taking almost the stand, if it were
conceivable that if the country were arrayed on one side and their
party on the other, they‘d stick to their party. They feel more like
singing, My party ’tis of thee, rather than “My Country, ’tis of thee.”
A man who is so narrow and so prejudiced, can’t serve his county to
the best advantage. The interests of the people first last and all of the
time. Such men are Republicans until after they get the party nomina-
tion, then up to the time of the election they are patriots, ‘and then
after the election they are for themselves. What the people ‘want in
their public officers is that they would discharge the duties Y
fice as if they were doing the work for themselves. Look
man who is so strongly Republican that he can’t tee ou
narrow lines.
. ADDITIONAL DEATHS
