Taz Somerset Herald isn’t done bel- lyaching yet about the licking the bolt- ers got at the late primary. It takes some ignorant cattle a long time to ex- plain just how it all happened, and the more they try to explain, the more they are laughed at by intelligent voters. Poor old Herald! Poor old “Timmie” Scull! All the king’s horses_ and all the king’s men can never pull “Timmie” together again. Tae Ledger facetiously remarks that “while Robert KE. Pattison lives the Pennsylvania Democracy can boast of having at least one man for an emer- gency.” The trouble with the Pennsyl- vania Democracy lies deeper. When the returns are in and the votes count- ed the party finds itself from ong to two thousand short. It has more emergency than enough for any one man, and not men enough for its emergencies.— Philadelyhia Record. el pe AccorpinG to Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright, a conservative esti- mate of the wealth of this country is $95,000,000,000. The total money in the United States is $2,5600,000,000, or about $32 per capita, as against $14 in 1860. The average amount due each savings bank depositor in the country 1s $409, and it is interesting to note that the savings deposits alone exceed the actu- al total of money and is ample to can- cel the entire debt of the federal gov- ernment. To say that the primaries of June 7th were ruled and won by fraud is to charge the masses of the Republican party of Somerset county with criminal dishonesty, or, worse, with idiotic stu- pidity and gross ignorance. The state- ment that people of two opposing fac- tions who have participated in the pri- maries. and contested every act of the proceedings, were not able to prevent gross frauds is simply childish prattle and senile vaporings, and people of in- telligence can harbor only feelings of pity and contempt for those who in- dulge expressions of such sentiment. A little childish fretting, crying and gnashing of the teeth on the part of the decimated and scattered foe, is to be expected, but charges of bribe tak- ing, ballot-box stuffing and intimidat- ing are an insult to every honest Re- publican of the county, and should not be tolerated. The people have long since grown weary of the leadership of corrupt and corrupting men in Somer- set county, and, by overwhelming ma- jorities, they have registered their dis- approval of them and “turned their pic- tures toward the wall.”—Meyersdale Republican.

LOUIS EXPOSITION. Puritanic Sentiment May Keep Gates Closed on Sundays. Puritanical Ideas are Fanatical Ideas. It nas been decided that the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition, to be held at St. Louis, Mo., must be closed on Sun- days, if the management is to receive a $3,000,000 appropriation from the Gov- ernment. No doubt this will suit the small portion of Puritanic Americans who still cling to the old narrow-minded fanaticism of their forefathers, but it will not meet the approval of the great majority of the liberty-loving, level- headed Americans who take a common sense view of things. We do not believe in Sabbath desecration, but neither do we believe in the rigid blue laws to govern the Sabbath that the fanatical Puritanic element is con- stantly clamoring for. We can see no Sabbath desecration in keeping the gates of a great industrial and educational exposition open on Sunday. A place of that kind is a good place to spend the Sabbath, in our opinion, and it is about the only day that the over-worked employes of large factories and mills have to attend a place of that kind. But the Puritanic fanatics would have you believe that a man who toils in the factories and mills for six long days out of seven, has no right to a day’s recreation in a whole year. They hold up their hands in holy horror if he seeks a little recreation on Sunday. They want to compel him by law to sit on an old hard bench and be preached to sleep by some long-winded, tiresome preacher, after having had no recrea- tion during the six working days of the week. They think that if he attends church in the forenoon with his chil- dren, and then takes the little tots out in the afternoon to visit the grave of their grandmother, that is recreation enough. They think that Sunday should be a day of long-faced solemnity, and they forget that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. They pine for the good old Puritanic days when the skies were lurid from burning witches, and when a man was not even allowed to kiss his wife on Sunday. They forget that St. Paul and Jesus Christ themselves were not strict Sabbatharians, or else they never read the Scriptures enough to learn that fact. But the the modern Puritan has di- gressed somewhat from the teachings of the old-time Puritan. The old-timer was a little more cranky, but far more consistent than his modern day broth- er. The old-timer did not tolerate big Sunday dinners and its attendant drudgery for the good housewife, such as is common these days after church services have been dismissed. “Con- sistency thou art a jewel,” but the modern day Puritan knows thee not. To him thou art a stranger. In most cases the modern day Puri- tan is merely a Sunday Christian, and if you notice him in his daily walk you will see that he is generally not any too conscientious in matters generally. He has little of the Christlike disposi- fion in him, as a rule, and in many cases you would not even suspect him of being a church member, were it not for his fanatical vaporings concerning the Sabbath that he delights so in slopping over about. And right here let it be said, most of his slopping over is usually intended for the people in the galleries, or in other words, for mere effect. But the Puritanic sentiment is dying out in this great country of ours, and it is well that it is so. Christianity and Puritanic Sabbath observance cannot be legislated into people, and the Cre- ator never intended that such should be the case. Sunday laws that keep one class of people from interfering with the rights of others, are all that any reasonable, liberty-loving person has a right to expect. Those who wish to attend religious services on Sunday have the right to do so, and it is well that we have laws to protect them in their right to worship. No one has any right to disturb or molest them in any way. But we do not believe it is a sin to keep an industrial and educational exposition open on Sunday, or, to at- tend one. Let the people attend when it suits their convenience best, is the sentiment Tue Star believes in. Let them attend on the Sabbath if they prefer to do so, to see what mighty things God and man have wrought. Let the Puritanic element go away back and sit down. If they do not de- sire to attend the big St. Louis Expo- sition on Sunday, they have the blessed privilege of attending some other day or remaining away; but they have no right to interfere with the rights of others. Anyway, what can be gained by closing the Exposition gates on Sunday? Nothing whatever. It: will only cause hundreds of people to seek disreputable dives in the city and spend the day in drinking and carousing, who otherwise would be content with the wholesome and instructive sight-seeing of the Exposition. Puritanical ideas are fanatical ideas; fandtical ideas breed intolerance and all its attendant evils, and intolerance is the parent of the blackest crimes that mar the pages of history. Happy Time in Old Town. “We felt very happy,” writes R. N. Bevil, Old Town, Va., “when Bucklen’s Arnica Salve wholly cured our daugh- ter of a bad case of scald head.” It de- lights all who use it for cuts, corns, burns, bruises, Boils, ulcers, eruptions. Infallible for piles. Only 25c. at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Judge Kooser Appoints Committces. At an Adjourned Court held last week, Judge Kooser appointed the fol- lowing committees on examination for admittance to the bar: Preliminary—H. L. Baer, Wm. H. Ruppel, L. C. Colborn, Rufus E. Mey- ers and Ernest O. Kooser. Final—Gen. W. H. Koontz, James L. Pugh, J. G. Ogle, J. A. Berkey and A. 1. G. Hay. Several of these appointments have, or will be declined with thanks, says the Somerset Democrat. a Saved From an Awful Fate. “Everybody said I had consumption,” writes Mrs. A. M. Shields, of Chambers- burg, Pa., “I was so low after six months of severe sickness, caused by Hay Fever and Asthma, that few thought I could get well, but I learned of the marvelous merit of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, used it, and was completely cured.” For desperate Throat and Lung Diseases it is the safest cure in the world, and is infallible for Coughs, Colds and Bron- chial Affections.

Mec- Kinley had 6,600 votes for president over there in 1900, yet in the next year over 8,000 votes were alleged to have been cast for Judge at the Republican primary, and at the primary this year over 7,300 votes were returned as cast. What sort of rules and regulations do they have over there? Do they allow everybody to vote at primaries?—News Standard. Those familiar with Somerset county polities will understand that the Frosty Sons fight their battles at the primary, inasmuch as a nomination is practical- ly an election there; a full Republican vote is neyer polled at a general elec- tion, as a consequence which accounts for the difference. See?— Fayette Re- publican. Trying to Bar Bolters. This is the way the Republican con- vention at Bedford last week stopped, or tried to stop, the Bolter’s clock in the adoption of new party rules: ‘No one shall be allowed to vote or take part in said (primary) elections, conventions, committee meetings or caucuses, who at the preceding general election gave aid or support to or voted any other ticket than that of the regular party organization.” Somerset’s rule means the same thing, though it does not say so in such plain terms, and therefore leaves room for quibbling. If our friends of Bedford wished to make a water-tight rule they should have said, “who at the preceding general election gave aid or support to or voted for any candidate on any other ticket.” Some day they may meet with the claim of some voter who, though he has voted for one candidate on some other ticket, | will argue that he did not vote “any other ticket.” That is where Somer- set’s rule is weak. In addition to the above qualifications tor voters, the Bedford rule requires that candidates for nomination must have voted the regular Republican ticket “at the two preceding general elections.” —Somerset Standard. Leads Them All. “One Minute Cough Cure beats all other medicines I ever tried for coughs, colds, croup and throat and lung trou- bles,” says D. Scott Currin, of Logan- ton, Pa. One Minute Cough Cure is the only absolutely safe cough remedy which acts immediately. Mothers everywhere testify to the good it has done their little ones. Croup is so sudden in its attacks that the doctor often arrives too late. It yields at once to One Minute Cough Cure. Pleasant to take. Children like it. Sure cure for grip, bronchitis, coughs. E. H. Mil- er. Prohibition Convention and its Nominees. The Prohibition county conventiom met in Garman Hall, Berlin, Friday af- ternoon last, and nominated a full county ticket. Jacob J.

Startling proof of a wonderful ad- vance in medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberts, of Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pronounced in- curable cancer. They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which treatment completely cured him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healing power, blood dis- eases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

Lancaster county, Pa., is the greatest farming county inthe United States,ac- cording to a statistical report issued by the Census Bureau lately. . The various Indian Territories have each a larger number of farms than any county, and the Chickasaw nation is a-close seeond to Lancaster county in the amount of products and income. Aside from the Indian nations the report shows that Lancaster county, Pa., leads in the number of farms, having 9437. Cook county, Ill, leads in the value of land and buildings, with $77,284,313. Ranking next are Los Angeles county, Cal., with $70,816,910. McLean county, Illinois, $61,161,240; Lancaster, county, Pa., with $53,939,550. Lancaster county, Pa., leads in the value of buildings, with $23,148,830. In order the following are next in rank, Montgomery county, Pa., $19,080,400; Chester county, Pa., $16,684,720; Bucks county, Pa., $14,890,970 ; Middlesex Co., Mass., $13,660 720, and Berks county, Pa., $13,663,240. Lancaster county,: Pa., leads in the value of farm products,with $12,613,415, McLean county, Ill, has $11,616,041 ; St. Lawrence county, N. Y., $9,820,936. Lancaster county, Pa., leads in the amount of gross income, with $9,219,- 143. McLean county, Ill, has $8,813- 513. i Democrats Nominate Pattison. The Democratic State convention held at Erie, yesterday, nominated Robt. E. Pattison for Governor on the first ballot. The vote for the various candidates was as follows: Pattison, 223; Kerr, 52; Guthrie, 82; Woodford, 4. Robert E. Pattison has twice filled the Executive chair of this common- wealth, and he was a good Governor; but he has lest much of his popularity and will surely be defeated next No- vember.
