WoRD comes from Washington that
Postmaster General Cortelyou, with the
full approval of President Roosevelt,
has practically placed all fourth-class
postmasters under the ciyil service
rule, which means that there will be
no wholesale dismissals from the
fourth-class service merely to make
room for political favorites. As there
are more than seventy thousand of
these positions, this new order will be
hailed with widespread rejoicing by
the incumbents, though it may bring a
chill of disappointment to those who
have been counting upon paying po-
litical debts through changes in the
fourth-class offices.—Somerset Stand-
ard.
THE Somerset Herald is making a
great ado over the fact that under the
rules and regulations governing Re-
publican primary elections in this
county, only committeemen are per-
mitted to assist voters in marking their
ballots. Why howl against a rule that
was submitted to the voters for their
approval or rejection at the polls, and
which was approved by a vote of more
than two to one? The Herald is always
howling against the will of the ma-
jority, which is the best kind of evi-
dence that the Herald is not out for
anything fair or honorable. The Re-
publican voters of Somerset county
have voted the pernicious features of
the Scull-made primary rules out of
existence, and that’s what makes the
old family organ squal so loudly.
“A CitizeN” has a whole lot to say in
this week’s Somerset Herald anent the
recent license decision which knocked
fifteen good hotels out of license on a
mere technicality which cut no figure
in at least one other petition which was
granted by the same court that refused
the other fifteen. "A Citizen,” as the
writer in the Herald signs himself,
writes as though he had authority from
the court to make assertions, but why
does he not sign his real name? The
public has no use for a cringing coward
who wants to air himself and apologize
for a lame and unpopular court de-
cision, yet has not sufficient courage to
sign his real name to what he writes
for the press As a rule people do not
take much stock in newspaper articles
signed “A Citizen,” “Taxpayer,” ete.

Tae Rockwood Guzerte reels off a
large lot of truth in the following
“The striking miners of Garrett receive
in excess of $2000 every two weeks
from the United Mine Workers of
America. Checks to the amount of
$2300 were paid to them Monday and
Tuesday of this week. Under the re-
quirements of the organization these
men are not permitted to work for
wages or at any employment, we under-
stand, and as a consequence there is
still quite an army of idle men in the
town. It is very certain that this con-
dition is one of vast impairment of
gord citizenship, because idle hands
and idle minds are always mischief
workers, Cases are known where men
who have always borne most excellent
reputations for industry, integrity and
sobriety have become terribly demoral-
ized by idleness that has grown out of
shutdowns, strikes, etc., and made
largely unfit for any employment
thereafter. When once man accepts
charity and learns that he can live
without effort, he is very apt to do so,
especially after his patural sensitive-
ness has been thus stunted. The asser-
tion may be safely ventured that the
Garrett miners will suffer a hundred
times more morally by their present
course than they would have done by
teturning to work and earning the
wherewith to feed their wives, babes
and selves. Any pension system,
wherein the able-bodied man is the
beneficiary, is a most radical cor-
rupter.”

FORGET ABOUT YOUR STOMACH.
If your digestion is bad the vital or-
gans of your body are not fed and
nourished as they should be. They
grow weak and invite disease. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat,
cures indigestion and all stomach
troubles. You forget you have a
stomach from the very day you begin
taking it. This is because it gets a rest
—recuperates and’gradually grows so
strong and healthy that it troubles you
no more. E. L. Babcock, Amherst,
Minn., says: “I have taken a great
many remedies for indigestion but have
found nothing equal to Kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure.” Kodol digests what you eat,
cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Sour
| Stomach, Belching, Heartburn and all
| Stomach Troubles. Its preparation is
| the result of many years of research.

Smallpox in West Salisbury.
West Salisbury has a well developed
case of smallpox, and if all reports are
true, there will be nothing strange
about it if there is soon a general out-
break of it in the community.
The history of the case is about as
follows: Nearly two years ago “Junk”
Harding, who is now down with the
disease, was arrested for brutally as-
saulting a son of the late 8.8. Miller,
of Summit township. It will be re-
membered that Harding and another
young man had shamefully beaten
young Miller, and it will also be recall-
ed that Harding escaped from the con-
stable shortly after being arrested. He
fled to Tunnelton, W. Va, where he
found employment and went under an
assumed name. He has been a fugitive
from justice ever since, but last week
he returned home complaining of feel-
ing sick.
It appears that there has been con-
siderable smallpox in the vicinity where
Harding had been working. and that
he knew he had been exposed to the
disease before he returned home feel-
ing sick. But instead of keeping him-
self isolated, as he should have done,
he followed the example of the two
worthless “smart alecks” who carried
the loathsome disease into Salisbury,
winter before last. In other words,
Harding went to his home, thus put-
ting his father’s large family in direct
contact with the disease.
Furthermore, it is said that the
young scapegrace circulated freely
among the people of West Salisbury,
last Saturday, and we are also reliably
informed that he was in company with
a Salisbury young lady on Sunday, and
that he complained of feeling quite
sick at the time.
A physician was called, who gave it
as his opinion that the young man was
developing a case of smallpox, and
yesterday Dr. Garey, of Berlin, member
of the State Board of Health, was called
to diagnose the case. He pronounced
it a well developed and genuine case of
smallpox.
Now, what is to be done? Neither of
our home doctors will have anything to
do with the case, claiming that they
were badly treated by the Poor Board
when they handed in smallpox biils be-
fore. They claim that their “other
practice was practically ruined when
they were treating smallpox patieuts,
last winter a year ago, and then to have
their bills scaled down by the Poor
Board, is more than they will permit to
be repeated. They declare that the
county may take care of the smallpox,
in this instance, in whatever manner
the proper officers may see fit. Dr.
Garey has also refused to treat the
case. At any rate so we are informed
by Dr. A. M. Lichty.
Just what quarantine measures, if
any, are being taken, we cannot learn,
as no one seems to know. Surely it is
somebody’s business to take the matter
in hand and see to it that the patient is
properly treated, also to guard against
further spread of the disease.
In the meantime, the Harding family
in particular, and all other people in
general, should do all in their power to
keep the dread disease from spread-
ing. The neighbors should render such
assistance as they can without expos-
ing themselves, and the people of the
whole community should keep cool,
observe the laws ‘of health and not
pollute and poison their blood with
vaccine virus, which is nothing but
rotton, decomposed annimal matter,
and which has wrought more devilment
and wrecked more constitutions than
all the smallpox that ever existed.
Join the Anti-Vaccination Society of
America and give vaccination a wide
berth. Following is a list of some of
the great men who have and are still
vigorously opposing it, and with such
an array of brains and science against
it. vaccination is a good thing to let
alone:

Herbert Spencer, the eminent philos-
opher, Prof. A. R. Wallace, the great
English scientist ; W. E. Gladstone, late
Premier of England ; Dr. George Greg-
ory, fifty years director of the small-
pox hospital, London, England; Sir
James Paget, Surgeon Extraordinary
te Her late Majesty; Dr. W. J. Collins,
twenty-five years public vaccinator of
London, England; Dr. John Epps,
twenty-five years director of the Jen-
nerian Institute, London; Dr. Stowell,

A Few Very Timely and Appropriate
Briefs from the Berlin Record.
Think of it, a briefless attorney wants
to get even with a hotel keeper whom
he fancies owes him $50! He will carry
out this spite, though he is aware that
others will suffer in the aggregate
to the extent of $150,000 or $200.000.
And this is not all. A set of his fel-
low professionals, imagining the op-~
portunity to have come for blasting an
aspirant’s chances for Congress, hiss
him on—knowing ns well as he the fi-
nancial consequences to business im-
terests in all parts of the county. How
fit are any such creatures to represent
us in Congress? How ready would
not any of them be to barter away the
interests of his constitutents over and
over for bribes and favors?
Is it true that one or two of the de-
fectives were allowed to run the gauat-
let, while the rest were brought to
book? And that the excuse set up is
that in the case of the one or two
favored ones no objection was filed?
If so, it would appear that the per-
petration of an illegal act is 0. K. so
long as no one says nay. That may be
good law, but it does not appear to be
good common sense.
Yes, there is bossism. The Scull
method was to encourage the aspirants
all to enroll as candidates and pay in
their money, then form a slate and use
the money to lick all but the -slate.
The present bosses are a little more
honorable. If they find they are not
going to support you, they will not ad-
vise you to run and thereby wheedle
you out of your money. The fair way.
of course, is to let all enter and each
make his race without interference.
But if one side comes to this resolu-
tion, the other side would put up a
slate and beat the'rest of the output.
It has got to the point that the one side
must do it, because the other side does
it, or stands ready to do it the moment
the one side should not.

Governor Pennypacker Gives Of-
ficial Approval of Several New
Laws.
Recently Governor Pennypacker
signed a number of measures passed
by the Legislature. Among the num-
ber are the following:
Requiring applicants to practice
pharmacy in Pennsylvania to be grad-
uates of a reputable college of phar-
macy.
Prohibiting the sale or use of fire-
works, firecrackers, pistols, explosives,
canes and ammunition containing chla-
rate of potash and other high explosive
compounds.
Providing for the erection of county
bridges over a river, creek or rivulet
forming the boundry between a bor-
ough and township of the first class or
second class where the same crosses a
public highway.
Giving to the school authorities of
cities of the second and third class and
boroughs and townships of the first
class the authority to establish and
maintain schools for athletics.
ABOUT RHEUMATISM.
There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of reme-
dies have been suggested. To say that
it can be cured is, therefore, a bold
statement to make, but Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive
sale, has met with great success in the
treatment of this disease. One appli-
cation of Pain Balm will relieve the
pain, and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by its use.
Why suffer when Pain Balm affords
such quick relief and costs but a trifle?
