Tne following we clip from the Berlin

The mossbacks that are too niggardly to
subscribe for the home paper ave not fit
to preside over a herd of swine, much
less over a public office. !
“We have recently been solicited for an editori-
al send-off for a certain old slow-go who is
scratching around to see if he can’t get an office
of some kind. As he does not possess sufficient
enterprise to subscribe for his home paper. we
declined to give him a free puff. A man thatis
too picayunish and one-centish to support his lo-
cal journal would work the office for what there
is in it for himself instead of for the public good,
if he got it. This is not all, The man whois
working for public favor and won't take his
home paper ig not a very smart politician, and
wouldn't know enough to properly conduct a
public office if he was elected to fill it. Nor is

this all. The man who boycotts his home paper
is not a good man to represent the home com-
munity in any public position, because he will be
influenced by outside papers instead of the home
organ and go against home interests in favor of
outside interests when questions affecting vari-
ous sections come up for him to act upon. News-
papers, it must be remembered, are in the nature
of public rather than private affairs, and are to
be supported more because the community wants
and should have a newspaper than because some
fellow wants to make a living out of the business.
If you find a candidate sneaking around after
office, who isn’t sufficiently public-spirited to
support his home paper, it is a very good plan to
just drop him. He is too much of a stick for you
to waste your influence and votes on. In facthe
belongs to that class of men who usually get left,
and you don’t want to belong to the ‘left’ crowd.”

Do We Want a Fire Engine? ifereis
Something Worth Looking After. .
We are permitted to publish the follow-
ing extract from a letter received hy R.
8S. Johns, from his brother Frank, of
Chambersburg:
“I mail yon one of our town papers,
which gives an account of the testing of
our new steam fire engine. We have a
hand engine here that is in good condi-
tion, which I will sell very cheap. It
throws two streams, but can be made to
throw four, hy attaching two Siamese
couplings to the end of the first section’
of hose leading from the engine. We
have also about 2.000 feet of Cather hose
that is not strong enough for the steam:-
er, but very good for any ordinary pres-
sure. We will sell this also at a very
low figure.
Now, can’t you and THE STAR stir op
the people there and form =a volunteer
fire company, then let the Council send a
man here to look at the engine and see it
work. With this hand engine vou can
lift water from any of your wells, alse
from the river, and for the protection of
the town you can build about two cisterns
in the central part of town.
This old engine is a very good one for
its age, as it has had the very best of
care. It was worked by women the time
the Rebels burned the town. They stayed
the flames and saved thousands of dollars
worth of property.”
Tre STAR would urge our Burgess and
Town Council to investigate this matter.
It seems to us that this is an excellent
opportunity to provide ourselves with fire
protection, which is one of the things we
have so long needed. Now is the time
to act. If fire should break out in any
of the large buildings on the west side
of Grant street, it would almost wipe out
the town, and we would be almost total-
ly helpless to fight the flames. It makes
one shudder to think of a fire during our
present circumstances. Fire protection
would lessen our insurance rates and be
a great benefit to our town in many ways.
No time should be lost in investigating
the proposition made by Mr. Johns, whe
is well known here as a thoroughly reli-
able and honorable man. Now then, we
are ready for the action of the Burgess
and Town Council. Will they act? If
not, why not?
