DeMocrATs have a wonderful faculty
for starting right and then losing the
road.
TuE Republican record is a political
asset. The Democratic record is al-
ways a liability.
Jupce PARKER'S letter of acceptance
proves that he has got over the stam-
mering habit, but not much else.
THERE is no evidence thus far that
the Democratic voter would know what
the issue was if he met it on the road.
reese
DeMocraATs always have a majority
in September, but like other Democrat-
ic things, they do not last long enough
to be of service.
ThE railroad company has put in a
long sidetrack at Esopus. Making a
place for sidetracking the Democratic
special on November 8.
SoMEBODY ought to start a political
agony column for the benefit of the dif-
ferent members of the Democratic
party who are trying to get together.
Jupce PARKER promises, if elected,
to revoke President Roosevelt’s pension
order: Judge Parker evidently has the
real Grover Cleveland love for the old
soldier.
THE only doubt that seems left re-
garding the outcome of the presidential
election in November is as to whether
Parker will be a worse beaten man
than was Greeley in 1872
WHEN David Bennett Hill went into
the undertaking of managing the Dem-
ocratic campaign he probably did not
anticipate that it would turn out to be
so much like an undertakers’ job.
Toy WaTsox says he does not expect
to be elected any more than he expects
the Democrats to win. Watson is to
be congratulated for once having taken
a proper measure of American thought.
Junge PARKER might have a better
chance of defeating President Roose-
velt if he did not first have to defeat
Bryan, Watson and the other leaders
of the party with whom he fought in
two campaigns.
MEercuAaNTS and manufacturers state
that the fall business promises to be a
record breaker. Such conditions would
not exist if Democratic success were
deemed possible by the business inter-
ests of the nation.
Voters will doubtless place a proper
appreciation of Judge Parker’e admis-
sion that the only thing a Democratic
House could do would be to obstruct
legislation for at least four years. The
deadlock does not appeal to the Ameri-
can people.
aa
SEvERAL days ago we heard a miner
say that he would rather be called a
“scab” and a “blackleg” every day in
the week than to live like a pauper and
starve his family on the beggarly pit-
tance doled out by the union. He
added: “The average working man
accumulates but one home in a life-
time, and he who is fool enough to
place a mortgage on his home, run into
debt, walk aroung with the flag of dis-
tress protruding from the seat of his
pants, etc., in order to keep up a strike
that was lost from the start, is a bigger
fool thsn I am.” We see where the
man was right,
THERE isn’t a more pronounced foe
and enemy in the world to the brand
of organized labor we have in this lo-
cality than Elijah Livengood. Yet
there are some benighted union strikers
in this coal region that swear they will
elect Mr. ‘Livengood to the office of
Poor Director. Mr. Livengood holds
sensible views on the present broken
strike, and he has informed THE Star
that he agrees with all its utterances
on the strike and union labor question.
He further says that he is not a candi-
date for Poor Director and would not
have the office under any circumstan-
ces. He knows that the miners’ union
can’t elect him to the office, and he
wouldn’t accept the office at their,
hands even if they could give it to him.
Elijah, like all other good citizens, is
not in sympathy with the kind of cut-
throat unionism we have in this region.
A political organization championed by
such statesmen as Edgar Showalier,
Charles Walker, Jim May, Bill Kyle,
Jim Simmons, Eph Engle, a few negroes
at Coal Run, and others not a whit
more intelligent—men who don’t know
what they want and would not have
sense enough to know how to get it if
they did—is not a party that intelligent
and industrious citizens are in the
habit of voting with to any great ex-
tent. Even Abe Lowry is getting sick
of the kind cf statesmen named.
Tue doctors of Allegany county, Md.,
have formed an association for mutual
protection and the influencing of legis-
lation in the interest of the profession.
If there is one profession on earth that
has too much legislation in its favor
already, that profession is the medical
profession. Not all doctors are char-
latans, but a great many of them are,
and if they had their way about it, the
liberties of the people would be sacri-
ficed to the greed of the medical pro-
fession. The people are compelled by
law to submit to many things now that
are of benefit only to the pocketbooks
of the physicians. Much of the legis-
lation in force now in the interest of
health and sanitation is a fraud and a
humbug, and the doctors are well
aware of it. But a large portion of the
fool public is ever willing to stick its
neck in the halter and submit to being
fleeced by the doctors. The cheap
flunkies and “sissies” that so eagerly
and willingly submit to being made
dupes for the doctors are not to be
pitied, but it is an outrage that through
them and a lot of conscienceless dope-
compounders and poisoners of the hu-
man family, other people, those who
are sane and love their liberty, must
submit to outrages that are a crime to
humanity and a reproach to a civilized
people. The kind of medical legisla-
tion we need thesedays is something
that will thoroughly expose the crime
and rascality of the profession.
—— ee
ONE of the things that puzzles the
strike managers is that notwithstand-
ing the fact that many of the striking
miners of this region have long ago re-
turned to work, there are just as many
men on the relief list as ever. The
answer is not hard to find. There is a
clique among the strike element that
never did work any more than was re-
quired to keep soul and body together,
and as long as the strike is not declared
off, such fellows can get as much out of
the union without working as they ever
earned in the mines. Therefore, when-
ever a real coal miner quits striking
and goes to work, the idle grafter in
the union hunts up some fellow out-
side of the union and persuades him to
pretend that he, too, is about to go to
work in the mines. Then the outsider
is promptly placed on the relief and
kept out of the mines, where he never
in reality intended to go. Thus the
union is “worked” for support from the
outside as well as the inside, and that’s
why the relief list never gets any
smaller, no matter how many of the
strikers return to work. There are
lots of men and boys oni the relief list
now that had not been working in the
mines when the strike was called, and
some of them never intend to work in
the mines, strike or no strike. But if
they can work the organization for a
share of the relief fund, they will work
the graft for all there is in it, for they
look upon it the same as finding that
much money.
HOW TO CURE CORNS AND
BUNIONS.
First, soak the corn or bunion in
warm water to soften it; then pare it
down as closely as possible without
drawing blood and apply Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm twice daily. rubbing vigor-
ously for five minutes at each applica-
tion. A corn plaster should be worn a
few days to protect it from the shoe.
As a general liniment for sprains,
bruises, lameness and rheumatism,
Pain Balm is unequaled. For sale by
E. H. Miller. 11-1
WiLL some one be kind enough to
communicate with Warren Worth
Bailey, the distinguished editor of the
Johnstown Democrat, and inform him
that he lives in the Nineteenth con-
gressional district and not in the Twen-
ty-third? It is soon time that he learns
his own whereabouts. He never has a
word to say concerning the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the district
in which he resides, but has his col-
umns loaded to the muzzle eulogizing
Charles F. Uhl, Jr.,, Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Twenty-third
district. We have no objection to his
lauding Uhl, because gracious knows
he is in need of it. Neitherdo we have
any objections to his criticism of Allen
F. Cooper if he can confine his criticism
to facts. But he cannot, or at least he
will not. His Somerset reporter (if he
has one) has badly misinformed him
when he conveyed Warren the infor-
mation that Mr. Cooper had not made
a trip to Somerset since he was elected
to Congress. He has been there on
more occasions than one, and was there
when Warren penned the editorial re~
ferred to above. The Somerset people
know Mr. Cooper and want no better
representative in Congress than he has
proven himself to be. It is likely that
450 votes will be polled in Somerset
borough, November 8th. If Uhl can
muster up 150 he will be doing far bet-
ter than he has ever been able to do
before. What do Somerset county
Democrats, and especially Somerset
Democrats, owe Charley Uhl, anyway?
When he was county chairman the
Republicans captured both jury com-
missioners, something they never did
before or since. During his incum-
bency as county chairman, the Demo-
crats of his own town, Somerset, could
not elect a minority inspector. These
facts have not been forgotten by the
intelligent voters 'mongst the hills o’
Somerset.—Fayette Republican.
PILL PLEASURE.
If you ever took DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers for biliousness or consti-
pation you know what pill pleasure is.
These famous little pills cleanse the
liver and rid the system of all bile
without producing unpleasant effects.
They do not gripe, sicken or weaken,
but pleasantly give tone and strength
to the tissues and organs of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels. Sold by E. H.
Miller. 11-1
Suggests Renovation.
The Cumberland Courier says: “It
is the time of year now for many
church people, who can’t hold out a
year, to be renovated and done over.
Good living during the summer has
made them fat in body and lean in
soul. Renovate them, Mr. Preachers,
and next season put moth balls on their
robes.”
The suggestion of the Courier should
be acted upon, but a whole lot of “Mr.
Preachers,” as our Cumberland brother
calls them, should put themselves
through the same course of renovation
suggested for others.

Historic Tree Near Baltimore.
A gigantic chestnut tree, with a girth
of about twenty-five feet, and under
whose branches in 1777 Washington
and Lafayette held a council of war
and ate their meals while camping on
the place where the American army
was marching from Baltimore to Phila-
delphia, is one of the many objects of
interest shown to visitors on the Me-
Cormick farm, near Baltimore. This is
not a tradition, but a well-authenticat-
ed fact, as is abundantly attested by
the archives of the McCormick family.
The first owner of the old manor was
George Councilman, who obtained pos-
session of the farm through a grant
from Lord Baltimore. The grant is in
possession of Mr. McCormick, who
prizes it as a precious heirloom. Mr.
McCormick became a member of the
Councilman family by marriage with
Miss Martha Councilman, daughter of
George Councilman, who recently died
at the advanced aged of 96 years. The
grant is beautifully engrossed on parch-
ment and is well preserved and per-
fectly legible. The place was named
Mark Alexander’s Range, in honor of
Mark Alexander, Lord Baltimore’s
agent at that time. It is situated on
the old Blue Ball road, a short distance
east of Pokorny’s Four Mile House, on
the Belair road.
AN UNJUSTIFIABLE ASSAULT.
In the last issue of the United Mine
Workers Journal we find a letter from
Vice Preeident T. L. Lewis, in which he
takes occasion to read a curtain lecture
to the miners of George's Creek for
their lack of enthusiasm inthe interest
of the organization.
Mr. Lewis says: . “George’s Creek,
Maryland, is a place where the true
spirit of trade unionism has gone te
sleep.” He then proceeds—
—The mine workers on the creek
will realize when too late the folly
of their indifference.
How foolish of the men om
George's Creek to think that they
have no particular interest in the
success of the miners’ organization.
They have been the recipients of
the success of the United Mine
Workers, but they are unwilling te
assist in the work of improving
their own conditions.
Vice President Lewis, whether in-
tentionally or not, does the mine work-
ers of George's Creek a gross injustice,
when he attributes their lukewarmness
in the matter of the organization to
their indifference to their own interest.
The miners of George’s Creek have
tried the United Mine Workers as a
lever to better their conditions; they
tried the Knights of Labor before the
United Mine Workers came.
They have offered themselves will-
ing subjects for all the experiments
ever proposed by the walking delegate
and the professional labor skate. They
have given not only themselves, but
their wives and children over into the
hands of the labor specialists, and have
permitted them to do as they willed im
the interest of the science of organiza-
tion, suffering untold agonies of mind
and body under the union scalpel, and
seeing inflicted upon their dear ones
wounds and hurts by privation and
sacrifice in order that the efficacy of
the theory might be satisfactorily
demonstrated to them.
They have come out of the ordeal
satisfied that the United Mine Workers
and its allied enterprise cannot give
the relief promised—that the organiza-
tion does not “deliver the goods.” If.
therefore, the miners of George’s Creek
are slow to deliver themselves agaim
and again into the hands of the indus-
trial surgeons for more practice and
experiment, they are not to blame.
This region has been organized time
and time again in the hope that the
union would be able to right certaim
real or imaginary wrongs, only to re-
sult in the failure of all their efforts.
And if the miners of George’s Creek
have profited by their sad experiences
of the past, their reluctance to agaim
run their heads into the halter is more
a compliment to their intelligence and
discretion than an index to their sto-
pidity.
To the charge that the miners of
George’s Creek are ungrateful because,
as Mr. Lewis says, “they have been the
recipients of the success of the United
Mine Workers,” we enter a plea of “not
guilty.” We do not know of a single
instance where our miners have bene-
fited a dollar either directly or indi-
rectly through the United Mine Work-
ers. On the other hand, the history of
the United Mine Workers in the
George’s Creek region is one of actual
loss in dollars and cents to the men
and of many necessities to their fam-
ilies. Comparing the loss our miners
bave sustained through thé organiza-
tion with the alleged benefits said te
have come to them through “the sue-
cess of the United Mine Workers,” or-
ganization will find itself so heavily in-
debted to the miners of George’s Creek
that the $2,000,000 surplus in the na-
tional treasury would look like thirty
cents, were the officers to make an at-
tempt to pay what they owe our men
for their losses.
It is unfair for Vice President Lewis
to thus malign the miners of George's
Creek. The miners have learned their
lessons through the fire of experience,
and they should be permitted to utilize
that experience to their own advan-
tage, and in their own way.—Lonacon-
ing Star.
SOME SEASONABLE ADVICE.
It may be a piece of superfluous ad-
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy. It is almostsure
to be needed before winter is over, and
much more prompt and satisfactory re-
sults are obtained when taken as soon
as a cold is contracted and before it
has become settled in the system,
which ean only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is so
widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about buy-
ing it in preference to any other. It is
for sale by E. H. Miller. 11-1
