SHERIFF :—We believe that W. H. Deeter, of Meyersdale, is the man that a large majority of the people of Som- erset county want for their next Sheriff. He has a thorough business training covering a period of 25 years. He is a large, manly looking man, and he is just as big and as manly as he looks.

POOR HOUSE DIRECTOR :—Wil- liam Brant, of Brothersvalley, will make a thoroughly competent and con- scientious director. He is a farmer of experience and ability. CORONER :—For this office Dr. Chas. E. Bittner, of Hooversville, is a candidate without opposition. His Jonx MosmnoLDER, Somerset Borough. man of Somerset, and A. G.

Rayman, of Stonycreek, is unopposed for this office. He is a good surveyor, a good Republican and a good man. We believe all the candidates men- tioned will be elected, and all in all, we believe it would be a hard matter for the Republicans of Somerset county to find a more worthy and competent set of candidates. STRIKES HIDDEN ROCKS. When your ship of health strikes the hidden rocks of Consumption, Pneu- monia, ete., you are lost, if you don’t get help from Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for Consumption. J. W.McKinnon, of Talladega Springs, Ala., writes: “I had been very ill with Pneumonia, un- der the care of two doctors, but was | getting no better when I began to take | Dr. King’s New Discovery. The first dose gave relief, and one bottle cured me.” Sure cure for sore throat, bron- chitis, coughs and colds. Guaranteed at E. H. Miller’s drug store, price 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 4.1 badge, declaring the Eagle to be a ‘scab’ paper, and informing the public that Eagles are not to be had.” When the Eagle managers secured a large number of intelligent lads to sell the paper, and sent them upon the streets for that purpose, they were assailed by | men and boys with threats to kill them. The papers which they carried were torn to bits. “The independents fought fiercely,” says the dispateh, “but were greatly outnumbered, and when scores had received bloody noses and black eyes, the police were called out.” There were other scenes of lawlessness, independent drivers being hauled off their wagons and mauled. For six days the sales of the Eagle have been prac- tically stopped by lawless interference ; and all because employers saw fit to dismiss two incompetent workmen. Of course all this is an outrage upon common decency. a disregard of guar- anteed rights, and a gross violation of law. The fact that such lawlessness is permitted shows that the authorities are inert and recreant to their sworn duty to enforce the law and to pre- serve the public peace. The right of employers to discharge workmen who do not suit them is as well established and as sacred as the right of workmen to quit employment which is not to their liking. But neither employer nor employe may lawfully interfere with the rights of the other. And these rights, being guaranteed by constitutions, and statutes, are en- titled to full protection by the consti- tuted authorities, even to the highest power in the land, if necessary. The Brooklyn Eagle has an unquestioned right to dismiss every man in its em- ploy if its managers so desire, just as every man has a right to quit work if he desires. The wrong begins when co- ercion is attempted. There is no possi- ble defense for this, and it should be punished with the same thoroughness and the same promptness as other forms of law-breaking are punished. Freedom of individual action, within the limitations of law, must be main- tained at all cost if free government is to endure among men. In proportion as freedom of action (under the law) is restricted, the government betrays weakness, class despotism arises, and the general liberties of the citizen are invaded. From such conditions it is but a step to chaos, and from chaos it is but a step to despotism.—Los An- geles Daily Times. Where The Schools Fail. Judged by results, the public schools are not providing a serviceable pri- mary education for their pupils. A smattering of specialized knowledge does not compensate for imperfect training in the fundamentals—the “three R’s,” geography and a knowl- edge of United States history and American institutions. A boy or a girl who cannot spell correctly, write leg- ibly or figure accurately, and who is ignorant of our own country, starts in business and social life with a handi- cap that is never overcome. No amount of special knowledge will make up for a lack in the essentials, The “little red school house” pro- duced so many great and strong men and women because it taught a few things thoroughly, and the learning of them was paid for with privations. What the modern public schools is turning out is seen in the typewriters who cannot spell, in the business col- leges, the stores, the offices and the other so-called genteel oceupations which are crowded with helpless and incompetent public school graduates. A carpenter, an ironworker, an elec- trician, a skilled man in any trade earns much more than a clerk or book- keeper. And it is easier to rise ina trade. The opportunities in industrial leadership come to those who know the rungs of the ladder from the bot- tom up—Ex. aA SAFE COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.
