Durina the late miners’ strike in this
region, it was a common thing to hear
strikers remark that they lived better
on the aid they drew from the union
than they did on the proceeds of their
own toil, before the strike. Every man
who made that kind of an admission
merely proclaimed his own worthless-
ness by so doing. Every man who
could not and did not earn more before
the strike than the mere pittance he
drew from the union, is not worth the
powder and lead it would take to kill
him. Any woman cursed with such a
worthless stick of a husband is to be
pitied.
Ox Decoration Day all the hotel bars
in Fayette county were closed. The
court so ordered it, and it was the
proper thing to do. The Somerset
county court should have made the
game kind of a ruling, not only for
Decoration Day, but for all of the prin-
cipal holidays, such as Christmas,
Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and
others. The tendency of modern times
is to turn holidays that should be de-
cently and sacredly observed into days
of revelry, sports, carousals and de-
bauchery, and no other agency is so
much responsible for holiday crimes
and debauchery as ths open saloon.
It would be far better to have no holi-
day observance at all than to have
the most sacred of holidays turned into
days of crime and debauchery.
eel eemeee
Every publisher has on his subserip-
tion list a- goodly number of widows
and working girls, who have no one to
depend on for support but themselves.
However, they are usually among the
most reliable and trustworthy sub-
seribers that a publisher can have, even
though in most cases their income is
very small. In sending out statements
to those in arrears on subscription, the
widows and working girls are usually
among the first to respond, and if it
occasionally happens that some of them
are not able to pay in full, they are
sure to make a partial settlement and
offer a valid excuse for not remitting
in full. A promise to pay the balance
soon, 18 also usually made by them,
and almost invariably the promise is
fulfilled. Yes, the poor working girls
and women are nearly always good
pay, but it is quite different with a
great many stout, able-bodied men,
some ef them earning more money in a
day than the average working girl
makes in two weeks, Many men in
good circumstances never have the
manly principle to promptly honor a
statement and pay their bills with the
promptness they like to be paid them-
selves when anybody owes them some-
thing. All honor to the working girl
or woman, for as a rule she has much
more honesty and good principle than
the sterner sex.

GREAT RUSSIAN DEFEAT.
Rojestvensky’s Fleet Praétieally
Annihilated by Japs.
Last Saturday the great Russian fleet
under Admiral Rojestyensky gave bat-
tle to the Japanese fleet under Admiral
Togo, in the Straits of Korea. It was
an easy victory for the Japs, and the
Russian fleet has been practically an-
nihilated, while the Japanese losses
were only trifling,
Togo captured two good battleships
and several other war vessels, and sank
nearly all the balance. He also cap-
tured the Russian commander, who
was badly wounded, and over 3000 of-
ficers and men.
The prevailing opinion is that Rus-
sia will sue for peace at an early date,
and the Japs are justly credited with
having won a naval victory second to
none in the world’s history.

A Just Kick from Some of the
County Newspapers.
Last week the Meyersdale Republi-
can and the Rockwood Gazette made
vigorous and just protests against some
of the Meyersdale and Rockwood peo-
ple patronizing a “Cheap John” print
ery in Indiana county.
We happen to know something about
the Indiana county concern, and we
know that it is operated by a firm that
knows practically nothing about the
printing business—a firm that deals
only in “seconds,” odd sizes and the
damaged and imperfect goods that oc-
casionally accumulate about paper fac-
tories. It is good stuff to fake moss-
backs with, and the Indiana county
concern daubs it with the cheapest
kind of ink, and in the most unwork-
manlike manner, then goes fishing for
cheap “suckers.” In every community
there are a few cheap skates who
“bite,” but an up-to-date business man
is never caught by patronizing such
fakirs, for their flimsy, dirty, dauby
stuff is dear at any price.
We know of one business man in this
town. one who does not use over $5.00
worth of stationery in a year, who gave
the Indiana county fakirs an order,
thinking to save a few cents thereby.
But he lost by the transaction, as the
editor of this paper had an order for
not less than $60.00 worth of goods in
the fakir patronizer’s line, which he
intended to buy of him this month.
But now the order goes to Meyersdale,
the next nearest place where the goods
can be bought, and where we can save
a good deal more money than the Sal-
isbury business man saved when he
patronized a fake concern abroad in
preference to a reliable print shop at
home. “What is sauce for.the goose
is sauce for the gander.”
Last year a representative of the
great ani reliable J. C. Blair printing
establishment, of Huntingdon, Pa.,
which has patrons in every civilized
country in the world, was here solicit-
ing orders. He called at the First Na-
tional Bank, where he was informed
that nearly all the printed matter used
by that firm was purchaséd from the
home print shop. He asked to be
shown some samples of our work and
for a comparison of prices. His re-
quest was complied with, and he told
the bankers that our work was as good
as Blair's, while in some cases our
prices were slightly lower. That was
an honest confession by an honest and
reliable firm's agent.
We are not afraid of honest, reliable
competition, but we do not pretend to
mateh prices with blacksmith printers
and dealers in “seconds” and damaged
goods. Mossback business firms alone
patronize the Indians county fakirs
and their class, and up-to-date people
usually give such firms as wide a berth
a8 they conveniently can.
Qutside print shops do not spend one
penny with most of the people that
deal with them, they do not pay any]
taxes here, and they furnish no em-
ployment to people who spend their
money in Salisbury. Neither do they
print the marriage, death, birth, real
estate and other news of this commun-
ity, nor in any way help to bring our
town and resources before the public.
The man who cut his nose off to spite
his face was fully as much of a patriot
and a philosopher as the cheap skate,
mossback business (?) man who sends
away for bum printing when he can
FAYETTE IN IT.
She Has Two of the 19 Leading
Banks of the Country.
New York, May 23.—Attention is
called to the fact that of the leading 19
national banks of the United States
that can show surplus and undivided
profits in excess of capital stock, seven
are in Pittsburg and vicinity. Of the
first 19 banks there is no other district
in the country that exceeds the num-
ber reported by Pittsburg. Even New
York, with its big institutions, must
take a back seat. According to the
last annual statement, the comptroller
says there were about 5,500 national
banks in the country, of which 747
showed surplus and undivided profits
in excess of capital stock. The Pitts—
burg district banks that stand at the
head of the list in ratio of surplus and
undivided profits to stock are: Farmers
Deposit National, Union National, See-
ond National, of Pittsburg; First Na-
tional, Uniontown; National Bank of
Lawrence County, New Castle; Na-
tional Deposit, Brownsville, and Brad-
dock National, Braddoek. The earn-
ing power of the Pittsburg banks is
self-evident.
TEN TIMES EASIER.
It is ten times easier to cure coughs,
croup, whooping-cough and all lung
and bronchial affections when the
bowels are open. Kennedy's Laxative
Honey and Tar is the original Laxa-
tive Congh Syrup. Gently moves the
bowels, and expels all cold from the
systtm, cuts the phlegm, cures all
coughs and strengthens weak lungs.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
contains no opiates, is pleasant to the
taste and is the best and eafest for
child or adplt. Sold by E. H. Miller.

Decoration Day in Salisbury.
Our band is greatly censured by
some of our people for going to Peters-
burg on Decoration Day instead of re-
meining at home and participating in
the home decoration exercises. The
censure is unjust, as no special or or-
ganized arrangement was made here to
observe the day, and the band was not
invited by anybody to remain and par-
ticipate in any arrangement or pro-
gram whatever, but the boys did have
an invitation from the Knights of
Pythias, at Petersburg, who’ paid them
for their services. Anyway, what are
the people kicking about? There was
no arrangement made in Salisbury for
anything special on that day, yet we
had the Boynton band, and a big crowd
of people that seemed to be thirsty
for booze and to know just where to
find it in large quantities.
Now people are kicking about the
music and about many other things.
They have no right to kick, and the
discordant music of the Boynton band
was even too good for them. And
furthermore, even in past years when
some of the local secret societies had
Decoration Day matters in hand, the
affair was usually very badly managed
and anything but a credit to the town
and those in charge of arrangements.
We don’t blame the band or anybody
else for making their escape from Sal-
isbury on Decoration Day, for the day
seems to have lost its significance here.
More other graves than soldiers’ graves
are usually decorated, and too many
people seem to think that the day isin-
tended for nose decorating at the sa-
loons. Even some of the old soldiers
seem to regard the day as a fitting one
to get howling drunk on.

Fifty-Fourth Gets Monument.
In the batch of bills approved by
Gov. Pennypacker, last week, was that
appropriating $2,000 for the Fifty-fourth
Regiment’s monument at Newmarket,
Va. This was introduced by Assembly-
man Lambert, of this county, himself a
Civil War veteran, and was ably push-
ed by Cambria county’s representatives
in the Senate and House.
The project of erecting a monument
at New Market was given birth in
Johnstown, last fall, when the Fifty-
fourth’s survivers had as their guests
their former enemies from Winchester,
Va. Besides the appropriation from
the state, survivors of the regiment
and their friends are contributing to
the fund, and a meeting will be held
shortly, now that the state’s share is
certain, to take further steps toward
marking the spot where the Fifty-
get good printing done at home.
