IS A POPULAR CANDIDATE.
Ed. B. Barnett, one of the most pop-
ular young men of Somerset, is a can-
didate for Recorder of Deeds.
This will be his second canvass of
the county for this office, having
made a very creditable run four years
ago.
Mr. Barnett, who was born
farm near Friedens, is a son of Henry
F. Barnett, deceased. He comes from
a family of early settlers and among
the most patriotic of Somerset coun-
ty. His father and five brothers served
on a
in the Civil war, while he saw ser-
vice in the Spanish-American war mn
1898.
| He has always been a staunch Re-
i publican, having always been an ac-
| tive party worker and committeeman
{and during the campaign last fall had
| charge of the Republican headquar-
| ters.
By serving two years as Deputy
| Recorder, he qualified himself for the
duties of the office and no one will
deny that he is competent to per-
form them. He is kind and unselfish,
polite and courteous and has all the
‘qualities needed to make a proper pub-
lic official.
Mr. Barnett was a member of the
Somerset Town Council while much
of its paving and other improvements
were made. He is a member of the
Board of Trade and several fraternal
organizations. For several years he
has been foreman of the maintenance
and repair work on the county high-
ways.

! AN HISTORIC HIGHWAY.
| Many touring cars from Pennsyl-
vania and othr states pass over the
old National Road every day. During
the past week in addition to Pennsvl-
vania, Maryland, West Virginia and
Ohio cars which are rather common
there were automobiles from Califor-
nia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
New York, Virginia, Texas, Illinois,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts all
traveling the historic highway as far
as they could. Hundreds of automo-
biles carrying touring parties from
nearly all of the eastern and western
states pass over the Lincoln High-
way every day. The number of tour-
ists seems to increase from day to]
{day and the indications are that |
both of the popular routes from east |
| to west will be full of cars during Sep- |

IS NOT THIS SANE LOGIC?
Some severely score and others ap-
prove Mr. Bryan in his statement
made a few days ago at Chicago when
he said: “The real question {is not
whether American citizens have, un-
der international law, a right to trav-
el through the danger zone on ships
of belligerent nations. That is admit-
ed. The geustion is whether an Amer-
ican should put his convenience or
even hns rights above his nation’s
welfare.” Again, “whether the govrn-
ment should permit a few persons to
drag the country into this unparalel-
ed war.”
MARRIED.
