THE poor old Somerset Herald is now
engaged in its annual false and silly
political twaddle. If the poor old thing
hadpn’t twaddled the same old lying
twaddle so many times before, some
people might be fool enough to believe
it.
Ir some worthless bar room bum of a
striker had been beaten like Henry
Engle, a very honorable citizen of Sum-
mit township, was recently beaten by
strikers, the Meyersdale Commercial
would have held its filthy hands up in
horror and published at least a page
about it. But when an honest, decent
citizen is nearly murdered by four
REPUBLICAN COUNTY PRIMARY.
To the Republican Electors of Somerset
cowardly strikers, the Commercial
maker only an indifferent nine-line
mention of it.
SraIxN is gradually waking up to the
consciousness that she is better off
than she was before the war, and that
to have been cut loose’ from her
troublesome and unprofitable colonial
possessions was the most prosperous
thing that could have happened to her.
Her domestic industries are reviving;
her factories at Bilboa and Barcelona
and other points are more active than
they have ever been before, and there
are everywhere signs of a genuine in-
dustrial awakening, such as Spain has
not known for many a generation.
She harbors no grudge against us on
account of the late war and her terri-
torial losses. On the contrary she has
come to regard both not as a calamity.
but as a blessing in disguise. It is
gratifying that the wounds of war have
healed so readily, and that the proud
and valiant and interesting old nation,
set in front of such a glowing historic
background, has accepted her situation
with so much good sense and dignity,
and is turning her various resources to
such excellent account.—New York
Tribune.
The Somerset Herald this week pre-
dicts dire things for some of the best
conducted hotels in Somerset county,
because J. Calvin Lowry filed objec-
tions to certain license petitions on the
alleged ground that the petitions were
not presented in proper form. The
thing that hurts J. Calvin is the fact
.that a few of his former clients have
this year employed a more able attor-
ney to handle their petitions. and for
that reason he wants to get even by
grasping at technicalities that amount
to nothing. “Timmie” Scull is also
sore because he and brother-in-law
“Freddie” no longer have a monopoly
of the licensee business, as they used to
have when Judge Longenecker and
“Freddie’s” uncle Noah sat on the
bench, and people were told to give
their business to “Freddie” and “Tim-
mie,” as they had “big influence wis de
court.” Hotel men no longer fell that
they have to stand and deliver to
“Freddie” and “Timmie,” and they are
therefore free to employ whom they
please without running any risk of in-
curring the ill will of the court. Then,
too, it grinds the old Herald very hard
that some of the hotel men. no longer
patronize that paper’s bonding firm
and pay twice the fee that other bond-
ing firms charge. It’s a great game of
bluff the poor old Herald is playing
when it pretends to map out and fortell
a decision for the court. The court is
thoroughly competent to attend” to its
business, and the Herald’s dire predic-
tions made in the heat of passion, jeal-
ousy and haste, seldom materialize.

CUPID DEFEATED.
A half-repentant bachelor, with quite a
pile of rocks.
Dropped in, one day, beside the way,
and bought a pair of socks.
Arrived at home—romantic joy!—he
wond’ringly drew out
A note deep hidden in the hose—from
some fair hand, no doubt!
“I’m twenty years of age,” it read, “and
called a country belle.
With you I’d like to correspond— if you
will never tell.
My object matrimony is, and yours, I
hope, the same.
If you'll address me, I’ll respond.” And
then she wrote her name.
On fire with hope, the bachelor that
very evening wrote,
And folded his epistle with a kiss inside
the note.
Sly Cupid had him in his mesh—no
very clever catch,
For, after all, quite foolish is a half-
repentant bach.
But oh! how sheepish did he feel, when
from the fair unknown
This answer came, to quench his flame:
“An old maid I have grown!
Alas! ’twas forty years ago I planned
that fond surprise,
Defeated by a heartless wretch who
wouldn’t advertise!”
“LUCIFER.”
He Encourages Outlawry and Ma-
ligns Decent, Law Abiding Citi-
Citizens in Order to Control
‘the Votes of Thugs.
Lou A. Smith, editor of the Meyers-
dale Commercial, is the most disgust-
ing moral degenerate we know of. Old
Lou has been a remarkably “bad egg”
during the greater portion of his life.
He was a worthless fallow when he
came into Somerset county, years ago,
ag a tramp school teacher. Bat
through encouragement extended to
him by those who pitied him in his de-
praved condition, he was converted
into a fairly decent citizen, remaining
go for several years. At any rate,
Smith quit his beastly debauches, and
for a few years his paper was found on
the side of law and order. But the
Commercial has not remained so, for
during the past year that degenerate
sheet has been the mouthpiece of the
most worthless and criminal element
that ever existed in this region. It has
not only been an apologist for eriminal.
lawless men, but in many cases it has
been their shield and defender It has
been applying censure and hard names
to men who refused to strike until they
squandered their homes and all that
they had worked hard for, while it has
been upholding the course of the pro-
fessional loafer, deadbeat and bar room
bum—the idle, shiftless, worthless class
who never build homes nor add any-
thing to the material worth and sta-
bility of a community, neither in citi-
zenship nor any other respect.
Among the large number of men
now working at the mines we find such
citizens as C. B. and R.A. Kidner, New-
ton, Alfred and Charles Ringler, Eman-
uel, Frank, Clarence, Alvin and “Bert”
Statler, Tunison Glotfelty, Howard
Yaist, Arthur Sharp, Frank Farner,
Lester and Stanley Boucher, Elmer
Folk, Robt. Walker, John Tedrow,
Archibald and Charles Cochrane, Sam-
uel Brown, Daniel Baker, Newton and
Ellis Wagner, A. G. Price, Chas. H.
Beal, Jr., James, Wilson and Luther
Martin, B. F. Krausse, Chas. Crossen,
Frank and Mahlon Thomas, John P.
Vogel, John Edmunson., H. W. De-
Lozier and sons, J. W. Blanchard, Cal-
vin Rumiser, Luther Anderson and
many others equally as good which
space forbids to mention.
We mention these men to show what
kind of people Lou Smith has been de-
nouncing and comparing to “Bohunks”
and “Dagos.” We donot say that any
of the men mentioned are faultless.
None of us are. But they are all good,
average citizens, and many of them
are as good citizens as can be found in
all Somerset county. They will at
least not suffer in a comparison with
the average citizen of Boynton and
Coal Run, where most of the strikers
reside and spend their time loafing,
boozing and plotting meanness and
crime. Understand, now, we are in no
way referring to or casting odium upon
the good people of Coal Run and Boyn-
ton. There are some good people
there, too, and some good people are
even found in the ranks of the strikers
But, honestly, the good ones are show-
ing very poor judgment by allowing
themselves to be led by a lot of fools
and ignoramuses who will not and
ought not get another day’s work in
this region. If a decent citizen insists
on walking over a precipice to avoid
the wrath of the criminal class, it is no
particular business or concern of ours.
All we can do is to hold out the danger
signal, but we have no abuse to heap
upon any man who is striking and re-
mains decent and law-abiding at the
same time.
Unlike the Commercial, however,
THE STAR cannot condone, apologize,
shield nor aid and abet outlawry. We
may get ultra vigorous at times and
use language that is more forcible than
elegant, but if you will take notice, you
cannot help but see that THE STAR is
always on the side of right,and that its
statements bear the light of truth and
investigation. That’s what hurts some
people, but the more it hurts them, the
worse they’re better off, as the Dutch-
man said.
Only very recently Mr. Henry Engle,
a very worthy citizen of Summit town-
ship, was waylaid and beaten almost to
death by four of the kind of thugs that
have become bold and reckless by
reading Lou Smith’s strike utterances.
The Meyersdale Republican published
a full and accurate account of the
dastardly crime, giving the names of
the criminals and denouncing them in
vigorous terms. But note what the
has to say. Following it is, word for
word :
“Henry Engle was terribly beaten
the other day while on his way to work
in the mines. The union miners will
be blamed for this. It is a pity that
Commercial, the criminal’s apologist |
these resorts to unlawful methods will |
be made but there seems no way to |
stop it. Every act of this kind injures
our cause and men should soon learn
this.”
Did you ever rerd anything more
| weak and unconcerned upon the com-
mission of a crime so grave, so con-
temptible, so cowardly? Old “Lucifer’
gays “the union miners will be blamed
for this.” Very naturally they will,
when every one of them are known,
and as well known to Lou Smith ns to
the man they almost murdered. The
Commercial takes good care to men-
tion no names, thus showing how bard
it tries to cover up crime and shield
criminals. The Republican very prop-
erly and fearlessly tells us that the
men who almost killed Henry Engle
are Jacob Lowery and son, George
Harding and William Brant. But the
Commercial does not want to expose
its criminal friends, for that paper’s
course is to make criminals, not to ex-
pose them.
Of course, “Lucifer” admits in an
unconcerned way that it is wrong to
commit such crime, and says: “Every
act of that kind injures our cause.”
It is not the commission of the crime
that worries “Lucifer,” but the injury
to “our cause,” as he calls it. When he
speaks of “our cause” he pretends to
mean the miners’ cause, but he doesn’t.
The thing he really means is the rotten
political lost cause that he is trying to
patch up in order to get back to the
political pie counter where he and his
masters, the Scull family, fed fat for
many years. No intelligent miner will
be fooled for one moment by Lucifer’s
soft talk concerning “our cause.”
Whenever he makes use of that term
he is speaking for himself more than
for the miner.
Henry Engle is a stranger to us, but
we know that he is a good, honest,
thrifty citizen. The business men of
Meyersdale have told us so. His
neighbors say the same of him, and his
handsome home and well kept sur-
roundings all tell the samestory. Such
men add to the wealth, beauty and
substantial citizenship of a community,
but what can we say for such men as
those who almost murdered him? An-
swer for yourselves. fellow citizens.
Some years ago the indications were
that Lou Smith had forsaken his evil
and worthless ways, and it was hoped
that his declining years would result
in good for himself and his country.
But those who believed and hoped for
the best are sadly disappointed in him.
Shakespeare told the truth when he
said that the sow will return to her
wallow, and the dog to his vomit. ’Tis
even so with Lucifer Ananias Smith.
Poor old fool! He knows no rule but
to act the fool, and be a tool in the old
Scull school. He's steeped in sin, his
writings are thin, he raises a din, is
after the “tin,” but his capers can’t win.
He’s back in his wallow, in Hellfire
hollow, where clean men can’t follow ;
and, goshdomit! he’s returned to his
vomit, as all men can see by THE Star
and its comet. :

One of Our Good Friends.
We are much pleased to learn that
our genial friend H. C. Farner, of Sand
Patch, has recovered from a very se-
vere seige of pneumonia. He was in
Salisbury, last Sunday, and while here
he called at the editor’s home. We are
indeed sorry that we were not at home
when he called. The next day we re-
ceived a letter from him, and among
other things he says:
“Dear Boy :—I notice in THe Star
that you have to send your wife to the
hospital. Hew glad I am that I have
$1.50 to spare, and I hope that every
one who owes you will put up every
dollar they owe you, and that your wife
may soon return to you well and happy.
You have my sympathy in your
trouble.”
Many, many thanks, old friend. We
appreciate your remittance and your
kind words. May Providence ever be
good to you and yours.
