Great Truth Uttered by a Great
Newspaper.
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.

NO FUSION FOR THEM
Republican Editors of Pennsylvania
Lined Up Solidly For the Tic e-.
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.”
