Due and proper respect for the holy
Sabbath is one of the distinguishing
characteristics of a Christian people,
and no sound or valid argument to the
contrary can be maintained, but in this
as in many other things people will
differ in judgement as to what is re-
spect for the Sabbath and “rest from
their labors.” Tt is best to allow every-
one to use his own judgment.so long
as his actions do not disturb his neigh-
bors. If a man goes wrong, try to
teach him better and persuade him to
change. No law should be made that
people cannot cheerfully carry into ef-

SEIBERT THE WINNER.
A Good Man Selected for Our Next
Superintendent of Schools.
The School Directors’ convention held
in Somerset, Tuesday, May 6th, was
largely attended by people from all
parts of the county, and of the 264 di-
rectors in the county, 241 participated
in the convention. The object of the
convention was to elect a superintend-
ent of schools for the ensuing three
years, as the term of Superintendent
Pritts expires next month.
There were three candidates in the
field for the office, viz: Profs. W. A.
Seibert, O. O. Saylor and H. G. Lepley.
Mr. Lepley, however, withdrew on the
day of the convention, as it was appar-
ent to his friends that he stood no
show whatever to be elected. In fact
his candidacy was not seriously con-
sidered at any time by any of the di-
rectors. His withdrawal, therefore,
changed the situation but very little,
~ When the convention was called to
order, Judge Francis J. Kooser, of Som-
erset, and Esquire Daniel Will, of New
Centerville, were nominated for chair-
man of the convention, the former win-
ning by a majority of 20 votes.
The voting for Superintendent soon
followed, and ‘as Tue STAR freely pre-
dicted for several weeks, Prof. Seibert
proved an easy winner. The vote was
133 for Seibert and 108 for Saylor, As
usual, the Salisbury directors were on
the losing side.
Both candidates are good and capa-
ble men, and in choosing either,a wise
selection would have been made.
Before adjournment the Superin-
tendent’s salary was fixed for the en-
suing term. He will receive nearly
$1,800 a year, or the minimum of what
is provided for by law.
We congratulate Prof. Seibert on his
election, and we are much pleased to
know that the candidate of our choice
was also the choice of the convention
by such a large majority.

STATE CENSUS REPORT.
Pennsylvania Ranked Second Since
1850 in Manufactures.
The Census Bureau has issued its
detailed report of Pennsylvania manu-
factures. The greater part is devoted
to the manufacture of iron and steel,
the most important industry in the
State. In 1840 and 1850 Pennsylvania
was third in manufacturing, but in all
succeeding censuses it has ranked sec-
ond. Since 1870 it has been first in.the
amount of power used in manufactur-
ing, which is an index of the factory
system proper. ‘Inthe census year-of
1900 it used 16.4 per cent. of all that is
used in the United States. The bulle-
tin pays particular attention to the
factor natural gas has been inthe de-
velopment of the glass industry. There
were 291 iron and steel establishments,
which employed 110,864 persons, or 15.1
per cent. of all the wage earners in the
State. The product was valued at
$434,445,200, or 23.7 per cent. of the
total product value of the State. The
increase in the value of the product
was $169,773,576, or 64.2 per cent., al-
though during the census period the
number of establisments decreased
from 311 to 281. This decrease, how-
ever, resulted chiefly from consolida-
tions. The percentage during the pe-
riod between 1890 and 1900 was 54 per
cent. Allegheny county was the most
important center.
The bulletin points out that the most
characteristic development of the steel
industry has been the increasing im-
portance of open hearth as compared
with Bessemer steel. There were 25
establishments engaged in the manu-
facture of tin and terne plates, employ-
ing 1,678 persons and yielding a pro-
duct valued at $12,530,000. The State
ranked first in manufacture. Penn-
sylvania ranks second in the manufact-
ure of textiles and first in the value of
the silk products. In cotton goods the
rank is fifth ; second in woolens; first
in carpets; third in worsteds; second
in knit goods, and first in the manu-
facture of wool hats. There were 1,260
establishments engaged in the manu-
facture of foundry and machine shop
products, which is the industry third in
importance in the State. In many
other industries the State ranks first,
second or third. It was second in the
printing and publishing of newspapers
and periodicals, with 1,795 establish-
ments and a product value of $36,500,-
000. The grand total of the value of
products was $1,834,790,860, which is
$2,000,000 more than reported in the
preliminary bulletin issued on Febru-
ary 7th. The percentage of increase in
the value of products was 37.8.

Remove Stones From Roads.
A law commonly neglected is the
statute providing for the removal of
loose stones from public highways,
passed by the last Legislature. A pen-
alty is provided for failure to carry out
its provisions, and those interested in
good roads will be conferring a favor
on their respective communities by
seeing to its enforcement,
The law in question takes tke place
of a previous act providing for con-
tracts with taxpayers to remove loose
stones from the main traveled high-
ways and reads as follows:
SecrioN 1. That from and after the
passage of this act, the Township Su-
pervisors and Road Commissioners of
the several townships within his Com-
monwealth shall, by contract or other-
wise, remove and take away the loose
stones from the main traveled roads or
highways in such townships at least
once a month during the months of
May, June, August, September, and
October of each year.
Section 2. In case of neglect or re-
fusal of the Supervisors to carry out
provisions of the first section of this
act, they shall forfeit and pay for every:
such offense, neglect, or refusal, a fine
or penalty not exceeding $10, to be re-
covered by action of debt, in the name
of the Commonwealth, before any Jus-
tice of the Peace or Alderman of the
county, with the cost of suit. One-
half of such fine to go to the informer
or prosecutor, and the other one-half
to be applied to repairing the roads or
highways of the to enship.

Apropos of feeding this large con-
course of people a Harrisburg dispatch
says: .
“The German Baptists or Dunkards
are buying live beef and will do their
own slaughtering for the annual meet-
ing to be held in this city for twenty
days during May. The recent large
advance in the price of beef, which the
Trust has exacted, has become a seri-
ous problem with the committee hav-
ing charge of the feeding of this great
meat would require a very material in-
crease in the amount of money set
aside for that article of food, and to
overcome this trouble they are quietly
buying their own live beef and will
have their slaughtering done privately.
The committee has been scouring the
country in this locality and expects to
secure more than one hundred head of
cattle during the next ten d»ys.”

President Loree Denies the Truth
of a Popular Supposition.
During a hearing before the Senate
Committee on the District of Columbia
on Saturday on the bill ‘providing for a
union station for the railroads entering
Washington, President Loree, of the J
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, made an
interesting statement which was a sur-
prise to everybody who heard it.
Mr. Loree insisted that a great mis-
take had been made in'stating that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company own-
ed the Baltimore & Ohio. He said the
Pennsylvania did not own that railroad
and had on its directorate but four of
the twelve directors. The Baltimore &
Ohio Company had it within its power
at any time to nullify th influence of
these four directors, in case it did not
approve of their management. Such
being the case, he said, the B. & O.
would prefer to go ahead under exist-
ing legislation and put up a $ 200,000
station on the site the. Company has
acquired in C street, Washington, just
east of its present depot; it would
rather do this than enter upon an ar-
rangement for the building of a great
monumental station at a very much
greater cost, as was proposed, in Massa-
chusetts avenue.
