THE effervescing and irrepressible
Prohibition leader, Dr. Silas C. Swal-
low, is advising the Democratic leaders
whom to nominate for President. This
is a case where one swallow does not
make a ranner.—Connellsville Courier.
“Tue Star of Bethlehem” still con-
tinues to twinkle, and all the wind that
can possibly emanate from the spa-
cious mouth of Windbag McCullough
cannot dim a single twinkle of the
grand old luminary.
Let the McCullough jackass bray,
Let him saw the air each day,
But in good homes both near and far
You’ll always find the newsy STAR.
SvureLY no one can blame “Doc” De-
Lozier for “scabbing.” as the strikers
call it. The United Mine Workers
kept him out of a job for several years
in this region, for which they had no
valid reason. Once when he secured a
job at 65 cents per ton, the pit commit-
tee refused to let him work, and by
threatening to strike, forced the mine
foreman to send him away. Now, De-
Lozier feels that it is his turn to get
even with the United Mine Workers,
and no sensible man can blame him.
Old “Doc” has his faults, as all men
have, but he is a mighty decent man
when compared with some of the peo-
ple that are railing at him.
Mgr. STRIKER, there is no sense in
your slopping over and railing at
Judge Kooser’s injunctions. If you
are a law-abiding citizen the injunec-
tions will in no way interfere with you.
All the injunctions are intended for is
to protect people in their rights and in
their property, and the man that minds
his own business need not fear the
orders of the Court. The injunctions
were issued on good and sufficient
grounds, and only for the injunctions
there would have been bloodshed in this
region long before this. Judge Kooser’s
head was level when he granted in-
junctions restraining trespassing, in-
timidation and other forms of lawless-
ness.
AMONG the strikers there are many
church members, and some of them
refuse to speak to their poor fellow
mortals who would ratherdig coal than
to strike. But you all know the par-
able of the sower. When the seeds of
Christianity fall upon stony ground,
the shallowness of the Christian soil in
which some men were nurtured be-
comes evident at once. A look of long-
faced piety, mingled with scorn and
hatred, does not harmonize with bibles,
hymn and prayer books carried under
the arms of men on their way to the
sanctuary. Hell is pretty well popu-
lated with ancient and modern Phari-
sees, but the place is still yawning for
more, and a very hot corner is being
reserved for the Salisbury delegation.
Turis past week has seen a return to
this regien of all the national organiz-
ers of the U. M. of A. who had been
previously located here. Their coming
does not change the aspect of the strike
in the least, and this past week the
Somerset Coal Company has had two
score of their old men apply for posi-
tions, but the company has no vacanciss,
and but few of those applying were
given work. The company has in hopes
that trade may look up, so that they
can start some of the smaller mines to
give employment to those that are ap-
plying. There are a few of the old
men who will never get back, of course,
no matter what may arise. Among
those who went to work this past week
was a vice president of one of the local
unions.—Meyersdale Republican.

put any bread into their children’s
mouths. Some of them will put plenty
of bread into their children’s mouths
if they can get it from some merchant
on time, at the same time calculating
never to pay for it. But when it comes
to spending for bread that which they
squander for booze, they get the booze,
starve their children and then accuse
others of taking the bread out of their
children’s mouths. Another thought
has often occurred to us, and it is this:
If the children of some of the class
aforesaid have mouths as big as their
“dads,” a vast quantity of bread could
be stored therein, and a good deal of it
could be taken out by others without
ever being missed.
Ir is said that men are but children
of a larger growth, but it is a sad com-
mentary on full grown men when they
act the little child more than the little
“tots” do. During the miners’ strike
we have heard men declare thai they
would not buy at stores that sold goods
to strike-breakers, that they would not
get shaved at shops where strike-break-
ers get shaved, that they would not go
to church where strike-breakers at-
tend, ete. Such fools never spite
anybody, and all they accomplish by
such fool talk is to bring contempt and
ridicule upon themselves. If they
don’t want to go to church and other
places for the fool reasons they give,
let them go to the lunatic asylums or
to hades, the only places especially
constructed for fools. They never will
be missed here. But just the same
they prefer to stay here, where they
view the same sun, drink at the same
places, walk the same streets, patron-
jze the same doctors and actually
breathe the same air that strike-break-
ers breathe. And it doesn’t kill them,
either.
“I1’s not the scdle price we're after
now, it’s recognition of the union that
we demand,” say the leaders of the
United Mine Workers. They are will-
ing to go to work at the price offered,
they say, but the union must be recog-
nized before they can accept the re-
duction. What nonsense! Of what
use is recognition if it does not bring
the scale price with it? Any union
that is willing to work for recognition
only, at any price the operators name,
is not worth three hurrahs in hades.
The fact of the matter is, the miners’
union in this region is rotten to the
core, and it has broken completely
down under the weight of its own rot-
tenness and abuse of power. It can’t
get recognition any more than a pig
can fly, and the ones to blame for the
present state of affairs are a lot of big-
mouthed numbskulls in the organiza-
tion. The decent men in the union all
It is uséless for the union
in this region to be harping on what it
is willing to do. The operators do not
care at this stage of the game what the
union is willing to do, for they will not
deal with the strikers as an organiza-
tion, and some of them cannot even get
recognition as individuals.

‘Undersized’ Americans.
Phillips Brooks and two other Amer-
icans crossed the ocean on the same
steamer, and booked their names at
the same hotel for their first night in
Liverpool. Each was some inches
more than six feet in height. Opposite
their hotel they saw a placard announc-
ing a lecture on America. “Let’s go
and see what they say about us,” said
one, and it was agreed. They separat-
ed at the door of the hall.
After some very absurd statements
about the American people, the lectur-
er went on to say that they were quite
undersized. At once Bishop Brooks
arose and said: “I am an American,
and when at home my height occasions
no remark.”
Then the second man in a remote
corner arose, and said, “I, too, am an
American, and at home my height is
not alluded to as being uncommon.”
Then off in an opposite corner arose
the tallest of the three, and began to

OUTLAWRY MOST FOUL.
Attempt to Blow Up Tipple With
Dynamite—Bullets Fired at
Guards.
Last Sunday night a dastardly at-
tempt was made to blow up the tipple
at the Meager mine. A great deal of
dynamite was used for the purpose, but
it was not properly placed, and but lit-
tle damage was done. However, the
report was terriffic, and the explosion
shook buildings several miles away.
There is not the least doubt that the
dynamiting was done by striking
miners who belong to the union, as
some of them have been getting very
violent of late, as a result of the social-
istic-anarchistic speeches that have
recently been made in this region by
organizers from abroad.
On Monday Blatherskite McCullough
delivered another socialistic harrangue
at Coal Run, and the very night follow-
ing a lot of murderous thugs ambushed
themselves and fired a large number
of shots at the guards in charge of the
property of the coal companies. The
fire was several times returned, but no
one was hurt. However, one of the
guards has a bullet hole through his
hat, and the weigh shanty at Meager’s
mine has a number of bullet holes in
it.
McCullough’ speeches have no
other effect than to incite riot, mur-
der,incendiarism and general outlawry.
With the walking delegates and social-
istic spouters out of this region, there
would soon be peace and prosperity;
but the longer they are tolerated and
permitted to poison and pervert the
minds of the “ignorant, the more out-
lawry and crime we may expect. These
labor grafters from abroad are moral
lepers, a menace to law and order, and
they appear as warts on the face of
decency and syphilitic sores on the
body politic. The decent, law-abiding
people of our community are getting
very tired of them, and our business
men are very much opposed to their
street meetings, seeing the bad effect
they have on the peace and quiet of
the community. People who show too
much of a disposition to cater to the
organizers and their dupes are going to
be made very sorry for it in due time.
Organization conducted on decent
principles is all right, and we believe
in it; but the kind of organization we
have in this region is rapidly getting to
be of the cut-throat brand, and the
decent men in the local unions owe it
to themselves, their families, their God
and their country to withdraw from
the organization in this region, for the
reason that it is dominated by the law-
less and illiterate elements.
The men who are at work are mak-
ing more than $100 per month, and one
more mine (Merchants No. 2) resumed
operations on Monday last. The strike
is lost, and all who are able to get work
had better do so. To stand out now
and demand that which is absolutely
impossible to get, is showing no better
judgment than the bull did when he
tried toobutt the locomotive off the
track. :
Blatherskite McCullough and his as-
socintes may rail at THE Star and its
editor all they please, but they can
rest assured that this paper is backed
by a very solid constituency—the
decent, law-abiding, sensible people of
the community, and with their sup-
port, influence and backing our busi-
ness is secure. We do not cater nor
truckle to the lawless element, and if
we have any such on our subscription
list that do not like our course, they
have a standing invitation to call,
square up their breast, take out their
tools and quit. We have new men ap-
plying for places on our list right along,
and we can easily spare all who are
dissatisfied with the paper.
Some of the strikers that are cursing
Tue Star now will wish before this
time next year that they had taken
more of its advice and paid less atten-
tion to wind from MeCullough and
others, for wind will neither fill empty
bellies, clothe naked backs nor keep
fuel in the stoves when the wintry
blasts are howling. It is immaterial to
us, gentlemen, if you want to squander
what you have saved and allow debt to
accumulate upon yourselves—debt that
it will take years to wipe out. Take
your choice—work, wages and prosper-
ity, or dirt, rags, idleness, empty pock-
ets, cheerless firesides and the perma-
nent loss of your jobs in this region.
But if you choose the latter, you can-
not say that you have not been warned
of the results of your folly. Don’t al-
low yourselves to be swayed by the shift-
less, worthless fellows who know they
can’t get work in’ this region at any
for striking, for it’s all they will ever
have to do so long as they remain here.
But those of you who can get work will
show your wisdom by taking it while
you still have the opportunity. Time
will prove this assertion, and in the
meantime we will continue to show
Mr. McCullough what it is to monkey
with a buzz saw.

McCULLOUGH’S SOLILOQUY.
Iam E. 8. McCullough,
And I make a h—1 of a Hulla-
Baloo.
Yes, I do,
And I shoot off my mouth,
East, west, north and south,
Making the miners believe that T
Would be willing to die
For them.
Ahem!
Oh, my!
They don’t know a lie,
When I tell one straight,
But they swallow my bait,
And cheer all I say
Whenever I bray.
Some say I’m an ass,
But I just let that pass,
And continue to bray
At four dollars a day.
Oh, say.
Isn't it fine
To wine and to dine
At the best hotels in the land?
It’s grand!
I just gess yes,
And I don’t care what a mess
Is in store
Evermore
For the men who dig coal.
Bless my soul,
To see them strike
Is just what I like,
And Isay to myself,
It’s only the pelf
That I’m working for.
Without labor troubles,
My plans would be bubbles,
So what care I,
If strikes come high?
I live by strikes,
While miners die.
Oh, yes, I’m IT,
And don’t you forgit
Thet I’m the big man
From old Michigan.
I may be an ass,
But I live on rich grass,
And when I wiggle my ears
I hear my dupes’ cheers.
Oh, say,
But can’t I just bray
A little bit louder
Than good giant-powder?
I’m a rip snorter,
An all-round cavorter,
An atmosphere pounder,
A spouting old rounder,
A ring-tailed roarer,
An audience borer,
But yet I am IT.
And don’t you forgit
That I’m the big-mouthed man
From old Michigan.
Anyhow,
I’m a smart old cow.

A Good Vaccine Sear.
“American Medicine” complains bit-
terly of a fake vaccination scar that is
being used in Ohio. “Medical Talk for
the Home” first mentioned this scar,
which is produced by means of nitric
acid. A correspondent of the latter
publication said :
“My own children have been treated
in this way, and have been examined a
great many times in school for vaccin-
ation, and the sears have always beer
regarded as genuine vaccination scars.
Other children have been vaccinated im
the same way.”
When “American Medicine” read
this it just arose and pawed the air.
Yet one of the crying needs of the age
is a good, warranted, non-tetanus vae-
cination scar that will pass medical ex-
amination. The Ohio discovery de-
serves looking into.—Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
