Address all or-
Axy employe who by means of strike
or otherwise wants to force his services
upon an employer who has discharged
him, bas a brand of manhood that all
self-respecting, energetic and right-
thinking men can have nothing but
contempt for. This is a big world, and
no man who amounts to anything is
dependent upon any one or any one
dozen of employers. There are always
openings for reliable men, and men
who amount to anything do not want
to work for those who despise them.
A cnurcH member who does not
show by his daily walk that he is a
Christian, will never be more than a
bootblack after being transported to
the golden shore. You may be a jovi-
al, whole-souled, neighborly fellow,
Mr. Churchmember, but so long as you
swear as much, drink as much and in
other respects act about as the com-
mon run of mankind, as a very large
percentage of church people do, you
will be just as good as the common
run, but as a Christian you will not be
worth as much as the fat that may be
fried out of you in hades.
During the last two weeks the
Georges Creek Press, the offcial organ
of the United Mine Workers of this
district, has been as silent as a clam
concerning the mining situation in this
region and the Creek region. When
the miners are working for less than
the scale price in the Georges Creek
field, it seems that “mum” is the word,
with the Press. It also seems to ob-
serving people that neither the Georges
Creek miners nor the official organ of
that region care a straw how things go
in this region. When reductions come,
the Creek miners usually make the
best terms possible and keep on dig-
ging coal, letting other regions do the
striking, encouraged by walking dele-
gates from the Creek.
ARE YOU A DYSPEPTIC?
If you are a dyspeptic you owe it to
yourself and your friends to get well.
Dyspepsia annoys the dyspeptic’s
friends because his disease sours his
disposition as well as his stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will not only
cure dyspepsia, indigestion and sour
stomach, but this palatable, reconstruc-
tive tonic digestant strengthens the
whole digestive apparatus, and sweet-
ens the life as well as the stomach.
When you take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
the food you eat is enjoyed. It is di-
gested, assimilated and its nutrient
properties appropriated by the blood
and tissues. Health is the result.

A Dirty, Criminal Aet and its Cer-
tain Result.
Yesterday Frank Statler received
through the mails a letter worded and
composed as follows:
Erk Lick T A. April
FRANK STATLER
Scan
If you go to work,
tomorrow we will beat nearly to
death and blow your house up, tell
your brothers and the scab Kidners
beware we are on to you you sons of
bitches. Warre Cars.
To sity the least, whoever wrote the
letter of which the above is a copy, is
a dirty, sneaking coward and criminal.
The coward who wrote it evidently in-
tended to help the cause of the strikers,
| but the effect will be just the opposite.
Of course, it must be remembered that
most of the strikers are decent, law-
abiding citizens—men who will de-
nounce the mailing of White Cap let-
ters; but this is simply one instance
among many to show the great amount
of harm one fool on a strike can do to
many decent fellow workmen who are
also striking.
When White Cap letters are receiv-
ed, it is generally the case that one
man is blamed for the deed one day,
another the next, and so on. Some-
times the guilt of the real offender can
be clearly established, while more often
the blame is never fastened upon one
person exclusively, but a number of
persons will be held under suspicion
for many years afterward, and thus it
happens that many innocent persons
must often bear secret, if not open
persecution, for deeds they never com-
mitted or had any knowledge of. The
writer of anonymous, letters is always |
a slimy coward, and when engaged in
that kind of business he never knows
what the outcome of his cowardice
will be. The results are usually the
opposite of those he seeks, and in many
cases the writing of anonymous letters
has caused imprisonment and loss of
life to innocent persons, to say nothing |
of the loss of strikes that otherwise
might have been won.

SEARCHLIGHT TESTED.
Placed on Store Building of Merch-
ants Company at Boswell.
Somerset, April 25.—A test was made
Saturday night of the 10,000-horse pow-
er searchlight the Merchants Coal
Company expects to install in a few
days on top of its store building at
Boswell. The test is reported satisfac-
tory.
The powerful light will sweep the
country for miles around, and is ex-
pected to prove a valuable aid in de-
tecting any attempts made to destroy
the company’s tipple and equipment.
The concern expects to install also a
Colt’s automatic gun, capable of shoot-
ing 400 shots a minute, 30 feet higher
than the searchlight.
COMMENT.
By reading the above dispatch it
would seem that law and order are at
a pretty low ebb when a company is
compelled to guard its employes and
its property by means of searchlight,
guns and deputies. Such a state of
affairs ought not to exist in a civilized
country.
While we have no love for the kind
of trash usually imported to break
strikes, the fact remains, nevertheless,
that the men on strike have neither a
moral nor a legal right to molest them
or to make any attempt to destroy the
coal companies’ property. The mo-
ment that men step beyond the bounds
of the law, they cease to be good citi-
zens; and when organized men resort
to outlawry, they bring their organiza-
tion into disrepute with the general
public and deserve only what the stern
hand of the law will give them. Any-
way, the strikers at Boswell are in the
wrong. They quit work when they had
ne just grievance, and they were not
asked to work at reduced wages. They
are responsible for their own idleness,
and as many of the strikers there are
ignorant Slavs and the like, they are of
the same kith and kin as those who
have been imported to take their
places.
If our mines are to be run by Slavs
and Dagos, we don’t think it matters
much whether one set of them or
another is employed, as they are all
about alike. As we remarked last
week, the operators are not particular
enough as to the class of men they em-
ploy. A man who is not decent, law-
abiding and honest, is not fit to be em-
ployed anywhere.
We believe that decent men are in
the majority among the miners and all
other classes, but too often they are
ruled and intimidated by the lawless
and worthless element in their ranks.
Employers should sift them occasion-
ally, retaining only the good men, and
then see to it that good men are treat-
ed as good men. Let the almshouses,
jails and penitentiaries take care of the
wilfully idle, drunken and vicious
classes.
The labor organizations should
promptly fire all unworthy members,
for no organization can long remain
better or purer than the kind of men
that rule and dominate it. It’sjust the
same way with a church. Remember
that a church edifice is not the church,
nor a lodge room a lodge, and when
people tell you that you must not
judge a church or an organization by
its members, they do not think of what
they are saying, for the membership is
the true criterion to go by. “By their
fruits ye shall /know them,” not by
what they profess, nor by their edifices,
halls and other places of meeting.
Whenever we see a church congrega-
tion or lodge made up largely of bad
people, it is no evidence that the whole
church or society is founded on a
wrong basis, but it is evidence, strong
and indisputable, that that particular
church congregation or lodge is not
worth hell room. Therefore, both op-
erator and organization should do a
little sifting once in a while.

Somerset County Politics as Viewed
by the Frostburg Mining
Journal.
Editor J. B. Oder, the sage who pre-
sides over the only exclusively great
paper ever printed in Frostburg, Md,
has the following to say concerning the
late Republican primary in this county:
“The J. A. Berkey wing of the Repub-
lican party won a signal triumph in
Somerset. Pa., two weeks ago. Peter
Laughlast Livengood, of Salisbury, Pa.,
had insinuated that the Lonaconing
Star had been subsidized to take part
in the fight. Which cannot be true—
unless Berkey paid the Star to oppose
him. Now,however, Berkey, who must
have a mint of money, has evidently
employed a whole lot of other people
to dispute his triumph.
The Journal is not well up in Somer-
set (Pa.) politics, but it is certain the
Meyersdale Commercial did not re-
ceive a boquet from the SavrLisBURY
STAR, nor did the Rockwood Gazette
gather any posies for a Windber paper.
Be this as it may, it seems to be up to
the Lonaconing Star to pluck a forget-
me-not in order to complete some sort
of a floral tribute to the memory of the
gentlemen who didn’t ‘down’ Mr.
Berkey.”
A CURE FOR HEADACHE.
Any man, woman or child suffering
from headache, biliousness or a dull,
drowsy feeling should take one or two
of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers night
and morning. These famous little pills
are famous because they are a tonic as
well as a pill. While they cleanse the
system they strengthen and rebuild it
by their tonic effect upon the liver and

A Character Sketch of Senator
Quay.
Matthew Stanley Quay, senior Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania, is the subject
of a frank and brilliant character
sketch in the May number of The
Booklovers Magazine. It is written by
Mr. Joseph M. Rogers, the leading edi-
torial writer of The Philadelphia In-
quirer. Through his intimate knowl-
edge of national politics and his close
touch with the politics of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Rogers is unusually well qualified
to write of the astute politician whom
he describes as “a cross between the
Egyptian Sphinx and a stroke of greas-
ed lightning.”
Rogers has read the riddle of Pennsyl-
vania’s political sphinx. At least he
has put two and two together in such a
convincing way that the total is very
close to four! Mr. Quay is character-
ized as “a consistent and persistent
opportunist.” That he has for so long
kept in the saddle is due, not to his
affiliations with the corporations, but to
the fact that “he has looked after his
state and has giyen the people what
they want—though not what some es-
timable and ultra reformers think they
ought to want.” Thus it has come
about that a man currently held to be
utterly uanserupulous “maintains his
hold upon a rural constituency which
is morally honest and God-fearing.”
The whole sketch of Quay is full of tell-
ing points, caustic and humorous, and
is written with all Mr. Rogers’ skill in
narration and his singular ability to
illaminate his subject with apt illus-
tration and anecdote. Every Pennsyl-
vanian should get hold of the May
number of The Booklovers Magazine |
and read this keen analysis of the
chief political force in his state.
A THOUGHTFUL MAN.
M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife had such an unusual case of
stomach and liver trouble, physicians
could not help her. He thought of and
tried Dr. King’s New Life Pills and
she got relief at once and was finally
cured. Only 325, at FE. H. Miller's

Somerset Democrats Meet and
Nominate a Ticket.
Somerset, April 21.—The
Democratic County Committee nomi-
nally consists of 100 members, but of
these only thirty-five assembled in the
grand jury room of the court house at
their recent county convention. The
whole spirit of the meeting was one of
utter apathy. Nominations were made
in a do-it-because-it’s-necessary-but-
we’re-sure-to-lose-anyway manner that
showed the local Democracy to be ut-
terly demoralized.
Perhaps the most significant phase of
the meeting was the adoption of a set
of resolutions offered by C. W. Walker,
nominee for District Attorney, to fill
any vacancies in the list of candidates
which might arise by reason of resig-
nation or other causes.

Somerset; for Poor Director, George
W. Baush, of Ouemahoning township:
for Delegate to the State conventiom,
Joseph Levy, Esq., of Somerset.
Somerset county polled only $8
Democratic votes, last election, and tie
representation in the State convem-
tion has, therefore, been cut down to
one. Mr. Levy was sent uninstructed..

There'll Be No New County.
The new Conemaugh county booms
ers have been down in the thouth over
the result of the recent primary elee-
tion in this county, because they real-
ize the opposition that will come from
proposed Conemaugh county largely
out of the most valuable portion of
Somerset county. Here’s what the
Johnstown Journal had to say last
week :
“Has it occurred to you that the new
Somerset county court-house seheme
chimes in admirably with the plans of
the Cambria county Republican boss-
es? New court-house down in Somer-
set, no new county here. This means
an additional law judge for Cambria.
and the Barkers may be depended sa
