PROHIBITIONISTS FAVOR LICENSE
Anyhow Some of Them Haye Taken
up Fight for a Berlin Landlord.
Among the eventualties stirring the
calm of affairs in Berlin, this week, was
the circulation of a remonstrance
against the granting of a liquor license
to P. J. McGrath, proprietor of the Na-
tional House. As the Standard is in-
formed a portion of the Prohibition el-
ement over there seems to favor the
granting of a lieense to Mr. McGrath.
Anyhow, when it was learned on Mon-
day that a petition was being circulat-
ed against McGrath, he was called up
by ’phone by his right hand bauer. an
active prohibitionist, who informed
him that the remonstrance was being
circulated, but that “only trash were
signing the paper.” How the signers,
who are said to be representative citi-
zens, and for the most part working
people, will take this assertion is a
matter for conjecture. Then began a
frantic effort to call in the circulators
of the remonstrance and put a squelch
to it, and, in the shuffle, the document
got lost and nobody seems to know
AN ordinary battleship costs as much
as 2,000 farms, including the buildings,
tools and live stock. The expense of
keeping it afloat costs a couple of farms
every day, and a single discharge of its
batteries consumes the earnings of a
township. It is stated that the bom-
bardment of Vladivostock for fifty-five
minutes yesterday afternoon by the
Japanese, cost in the neighborhood of
$100,000. Moreover, the average life of
a battleship is not much greater than
that of a government mule.—Ex.

the boroughs of Stoystown, Hoovers-
ville and Benson will be asked to build
for the city of Johnstown a million dol-
lar court house, a five hundred thous-
and dollar jail, and other public build-
ings at a total expenditure of two mil-
lion dollars. We sound the danger
signal to the voters of the county.
The Johnstown Democrat on Mon-
day morning last, in a double column
headline, says: “Tremendous oppo-
sition develops in Somerset county to
proposition designed to thwart new
county movement.” Who favors the
division of Somerset county? Only the
Scull politicians. They are willing to
ruin and dismember Somerset county
in order to get a large wad of Johns-
town boodle.
We think our readers can easily
place the New County movement where
it rightfully belongs, inasmuch as the
article is signed and dated, “Special to
Johnstown Democrat, Somerset, Pa.,
March 13.”
SOME POLITICAL HISTORY.
Fred W. Biesecker wants to repre-
sent Somerset county in the Republi-
can National Convention at Chicago.

to organize the fusion movement

there were twelve hundred voters in
Somerset county too ignorant to know t

paid their announcements to him.

As a general thing there isn’t any
more consistency about a Prohibition-
hog. Berlin is a great Prohibition cen-
ter when it comes to voting, but the
fact remains, nevertheless, that it is
one of the worst rum holes in the
county. Over there a fellow isn’t safe

Affidavit of John C. Miller.
Mr. Miller, candidate on Scull’s New
County Slate, on 28th of January last,
made an affidavit which is on file in
the Prothonotary’s office at Somerset,
from which we copy the following:
“Personally appeared before me, a
Justice of the Peace, in and for Somer-
set county, J. C. Miller, and others,
who being duly sworn, according to
law, deposes and says, that they are

ship of Somerset, District No. 2, of the
county of Somerset, and are members
of a political organization known as the
Citizens Party, * * * * apd that

COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.
How often you hear it remarked:
“It’s only a cold,” and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. This is of such common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency toward pneumonia. It always
cures and is pleasant to take. Sold by

Making Men Sober.
“The corporations” do so many bad
things that there is some human satis-
faction in learning that they occasion-
ally do a good thing. Rev. Edward A.
Horton, a distinguished and level-
headed Unitarian clergyman of Boston,
in making a talk about public temper-
ance the other day, said, among other
things:
“I believe in good examples. The
great lesson of temperance is being
taught, not by tracts or sermons, but
by the railroads and great industrial
corporations insisting on temperance
in their servants.”
Why not? To make a man temper-
ate, there is nothing like—well, making
him temperate. The occasional drunk-
ard, the man who is commonly sober,
but not infrequently drunk, is passing
away. The person who goes on sprees
has no chance in business, life. He
cannot get employment.
So far as these big houses are con-
cerned, the ordinary man’s choice lies
between real sobriety and utter aband-
onment to intemperance and conse-
quent industrial outlawry. The effect
is to discredit drinking altogether.
The Americans are being made a sober
race—which they were not always—by
this insistence upon sobriety in em-
ployes.
This is a sort of “tyranny” that the
big corporations can continue to en-
gage in with the general thanks.—New
York Mail.
