Hearst’s Chicago American some time ago contained a sensible and well written article in regard to the value of local newspapers. It is so pertinent and fair-minded that THE STAR repro- duces it with the hope that some of our cynical critics may read and get wise concerning the subject: “It would be a misfortune to the country if the few big papers in the big cities should interfere seriously with the publication of the valuable and in- telligent local newspapers—for upon these papers the welfare of the country very largely depends. The metropoli- tan daily cannot possibly know the needs of the various localities and small cities. Only the local newspa- pers can protect local needs and in- fluence local opinion. Of course we are glad to have as many people as possible read the Chicago American, in the big cities and the little cities. But we hope that in every small town and every village there will be enough in- telligence and public spirit on the part of the local inhabitants to support earnestly and enthusiastically the local newspaper, giving encouraging approbation and a good living to the local editor, who alone can represent and defend justice and public spirit among bis neighbors. The man is un- fortunate who cannot afford to take two newspapers at today’s prices. He who can afford only one newspaper, in our opinion, should display his sense of duty to his locality by taking the local newspaper.” Fruit Will Cure Aleoholism—‘ Nit.” Fruit is the newest cure for alcohol- ism. Writing in a popular magazine, Paul Arr says of fruit that it is the one sure cure for the drinking habit. Eating fruit “will cure the worst case of inebriety that ever afflicted a per- son,” he says. “No person ever saw a man or woman who liked fruit and who had an appetite for drink. No person ever saw a man or woman With an appetite for drink who liked fruit. The two tastes are at déadly enmity with each other, and there is no room for both of them in the same human constitution. One will certainly de- stroy the other.” We have seen the above paragraph in print time and time again, and it is doubtful whether there was ever a bigger lie printed. We know lots of fellows remarkably fond of their tipple who are just as fond of eating fruit as they are of drinking liquor. Eating apples and drinking hard cider is a common passtime at many a farm house during the long winter evenings. and if there is anything that tastes better right after eating a few good apples than a glass of either water or beer, we have never discovered it And we have often heard men say that they like to eat an apple immediately after taking a drink of whisky.

ALL IGNORE DEMOCRATIC TRAP Republican Clubmen Are Preparing For a Big State League Convention at Easton. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, July 25. A very gratifying feature of the pres- ent political canvass in Pennsylvania is the sturdy manner in which the Re- publican editors of the state are sup- porting the nominees of their party and interesting themselves in tHe work of the preliminary canvass for the suc- cess of the ticket. They realize the importance of the present campaign and its bearing upon next year’s contest, when a governor, "a lieutenant governor, an auditor gen- eral, a secretary of internal affairs, 32 members of congress and members of the state senate and the state house of representatives are to be elected. They have all been loyally standing by the administration of President Roosevelt and they recognize the ne- cessity of Pennsylvania Republicans giving rousing Republican majorities this fall, so that the president and his cabinet shall be assured that they have the backing of the Republican organi- gation of the Keystone State in their great national undertakings. The in- tense Americanism of the Roosevelt administration has appealed to the Re- publican editors of Pennsylvania as it has to the voters of the state generally, and they believe that they can best up- hold that administration by urging their readers to stand steadfastly by the Republican party in the state as well as in the nation. Not Falling Into Fusion Trap. Despite the efforts of Democrats and assistant Democrats or so-called: insur- gents or Republican party wreckers, who have been striving to divert the Republican newspapers of the state into supporting their schemes for fusion, the editors of Republican news- papers have not only not fallen into their trap, but they have exposed the game and the interest that would be advanced if it were consummated. The Republican editors of Pennsyl- vania know how their subscribers stand. They know that the immense army of Republicans in this state are true and loyal to their party colors and that they will be found going to the polls on election day supporting the full Republican ticket. “I am now getting practically every Republican newspaper in the state at the headquarters in Philadelphia,” said Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chairman of the Republican state committee, a few days ago, “and I am delighted with the splendid support that they are giv- ing to the nominees of the Republican party. Our candidates are all men of high character and of exceptional abil- ity. They are all admirably equipped for the positions for which they have been nominated. I believe that I can safely predict that J. Lee Plummer, the Republican nominee for state treasurer, and the four candidates for the judiciary will receive at the No- vember election majorities which will exceed those given to any Republican candidates that have ever been elected in this state in an off year.” Chairman Andrews declines to dis- cuss as unworthy of notice the many false and malicious reports that are being circulated from Democratic head- quarters in the interest of the Demo- cratic nominee for state treasurer, and proposes to continue to direct the Re- publican forces along the lines mapped out at the beginning of the canvass. The policy of the Republicans in the present campaign will be to enlighten the voters of the state at all times on the real issues of the contest and to leave nothing undone toward perfect- {ng the Republican organization in the several counties, with the view of get- ting out the largest possible vote on election day. Among the many disappointments that have come to the Democrats and their insurgent allies who have been preaching fusion for the fall campaign, the complete collapse of the fusion schemes in Beaver county is the latest. Beaver County In Line. Here ig a striking case in which the editor of a Republican newspaper was quick to see the trend of popular senti- ment toward the Republican party and decide not to be swerved from the logi- cal position of a Republican newspaper. There was a hot contest over a judi- cial nomination in Beaver county, and although the result was not entirely satisfactory to the Beaver Falls Tri- bune, the editor of that paper last week came out manfully in support of the full Republican ticket and placed at the top of his editorial page the com- plete list of the Republican candidates. This instance is cited not because this is an extraordinary or unusual action, but because it had been her- alded from one end of the state to the other that Beaver county Republi- ‘cans were all torn up, that one of the leading Republican newspapers would support a fusion movement, and that the state as well as the local Republi- can candidates would be sacrificed at the polls. “Beaver county will be in line for the entire Republican state ticket,” writes Chairman Charles H. Stone, of the Re- publican county committee. “There need be no concern about fusion in our county, and I am sure that Mr. Plum- mer and the other nominees on the state ticket will be delighted with the mejorities” that will be rolled up In Beaver county this fall.” Beaver county presents a condition of affairs such as will be found in other } counties where the Democrats have been banking upon alleged Republican dissensions. The Republican lines are being form- ed throughout the state, there will be no comfort given the enemy anywhere, and there will be a magnificent show- ing for the cause of prosperity and progress when the election returns shall be received. Clumben Are Active. In every county in the state where there is a Republican club activity is now being shown among the members over the election of delegates to the convention of the State League of Re- publican Clubs, which is to be held in September next. : John R. Wiggins, president of the State League, in an address to the members, among other things, says: “In compliance with the instructions of the executive committee of the league, given at its last meeting, held in Harrisburg on April 26, 1905, at which time it was decided to accept the invitation of the Republican clubs of Northampton county and hold the next annual convention in the city of Easton, your president conferred with the Hon. Wesley R. Andrews, chair- man of the state Republican commit- tee, and the local committee of Easton, and agreed on Wednesday and Thurs- day, September 20 and 21, for the date of the convention, and you are hereby notified of that fact. “The Republican clubs of Pennsyl- vania have never been found wanting in any great crisis. When the rallying cry of the party has been sounded the young men who have banded them- selves into organizations throughout the state have gathered around the standard. It is not so much with them a matter of old men’s quarrels as it is the maintenance of the very founda- tion of Republican supremacy—the in- fluence of the Republican voter upon the party's affairs. In local contests the enmities of individuals sometimes blind them to the real questions at issue. “Through the waves and spasms of local restlessness the broader princi- ples of party organization should not be forgotten. Presidents, governors and mayors are to be elected and Republi- can progress and influence are to be preserved. Local differences will ad- just themselves. Let the young men of the state gather together in this convention and show that they stand for principes above men and for party above ambition.” THE STATE TREASURERSHIP Republican Nominee As Viewed By An Editor From His Home County. In commenting upon the contest for state treasurer, the editor of the Holli- daysburg Register says: “Hon. J. Lee Plummer, the Republi- can candidate for state treasurer, has the ability to fill that office with credit. This fact cannot be success- fully contradicted; besides, he is known by the people with whom he has lived all his life to be perfectly honest and reliable and a man of the strictest integrity. While not a Pro- hibitionist, he is a man of the strictest temperance habits. These are facts which cannot be controverted. He was regularly nominated in a Republican state convention, composed of dele- gates who were chosen by the Republi- cans of the various counties of the state. “There was every opportunity for any man in the state to contest the nomination with him. He was nomi- nated fairly as the candidate of his party. Now, what Republican can have a valid excuse to vote against him? Ig it better that the Republicans as- sist a Democrat into one of the best offices of the state, or vote for their candidate, who is in every way worthy? The opposition is trying hard to raise a respectable fight against him, but the only possible show they will have will be through the votes of Republi- cans. Why should we aid them in their work?” A Word to State Republicans. “The Republican party is not re- sponsible for the misuse that has been made of it in Philadelphia,” says the editor of the Juniata Herald. “The truth is that it deserves credit for cor- recting the wrongs that have been ¢com- mitted by some of its faithless mem- bers. The corruption that has existed in Philadelphia is wholly of a local character and the party in the state has no connection with or relation te it. Why should the party elsewhere suffer on account of it? Why should state candidates be defeated because of what has occurred in a single city? If the sins of a few were to be visited upon the party when could it ever be suc- cessful? The Republican ticket is com- posed of honest men, was fairly nomi- nated and is entitled to the support of every member of the party. Be sure to vote for it.” Magnificent Majority Is Predicted. “Active work is already under way for the fall campaign,” says the editor of the Scranton Tribune, “and the as- gistants of Republican State Chairman W. R. Andrews have entered upon an aggressive fight for the success of the whole ticket. Although Democracy is making desperate attempts to profit by the troubles that have recently at- tracted so much attention in Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania’s superb Republican organization will not be affected by the efforts of the enemy. The ticket pre- sented this year is one of the strongest that has ever adorned the Republican banner, and there is no question that it will be recognized by the usual mag- nificent majority at the coming elec- tion.” 10 cts. a copy. every month. “The Best Great features are promised and Charles Wagner. by taking advantage of this McCLURES MAGAZINE is “the cleanest, most stimulating, meatiest general maga- zine for the family,” says one of the million who read it It is without question at wholesome interesting short stories in every number, con- tinued stories, beautiful pictures in colors, and arvicles by such famous writers as Ida M.
