A RECENTLY published cartoon shows
M. Witte and Baron Komura seated at
a table smoking. Witte is smiling, and
Komura is serious as he addresses the
question to his Russian antagonist, “If
we had suffered defeat in every battle,
what would you have done to us?”
The question affords much food for
thought.
Ax exchange in a neighboring county
tells of a doctor who was arrested for
giving an old toper a prescription for a
pint of whisky at a time when the old
toper was not in need of the whisky as
a medicine. The whisky prescription
law is another law that was passed
more for the benefit of the doctors
than for those they prescribe for. The
average old toper usually needs some
good, cold water more than anything
else when he goes to a doctor for a
whisky prescription, but most doctors
feel that they need the poor old toper’s
“quarter” very badly about that time,
hence they accept the fee and help
many an old soak to his tipple at times
when the meanest saloon-keeper on
earth wouldn't give or sell him a drop
of booze.

-its self-preservation.
Have Ankeny and Wagner any
Character to Ruin?
During the past few years certain
men in Somerset county have been
voting all kinds of political tickets, and
not claiming to be Republicans, except
when they wanted to take a hand in
Republican primaries. In order to
conduct the primaries according to the
rules and usages of the Republican
party, County Chairman Shafer found
it necessary to require prospective can-
didates to sign a pledge as proof of
party loyalty, and thus avoid announc-
ing the names of candidates who had
not been complying with the party re-
quirements, and hence not eligible to
announce a8 Republican candidates.
The pledge was freely signed by the
candidates who were after nomination
at the last Republican primary, but as
not all could be nominated, some had
to be defeated. But sll had an equal
chance, an honest vote and a fair count.
Now, however, we have the ridiculous
spectacle of pledge-breakers going up
and down the county asking Republi-
cans to vote for them on a mongrel
ticket. Two of them, Calvin Ankeny
and Clinton Wagner, have even sued
the Meyersdale Republican for libel,
because the Republican charged them
with violating their oath. They did not
violate an oath, but they did violate a
written or printed pledge which they
signed, and while that may not be a
criminal offense, it nevertheless indi-
cates that Messrs. Ankeny, Wagner and
others have very little regard for their
pledged word. So far as THE STAR is
concerned, when it sees men violate
their pledged word, it wouldn’t have a
bit of confidence in their pledges there-
after if backed by their oaths.
Following is a true copy of the pledge
signed by Mr. Ankeny when he an-
nounced as a candidate at the Repub-
lican primary, last spring. “Clintie”
Wagner and “Edwie” Werner signed
the same kind of a pledge. Voters,
read the signed pledge, and then de-
cide whether the signers thereof have
any character to defame. We believe
you will at least decide that their char-
acters are not good enough to entitle
them to your votes.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself as a candi-
date for County Treasurer, at the Repub-
lican Primary Election, to be held in and
for the county of Somerset, on Saturday,
March 25th, 1905, and promise whether
nominated or not that I will support the
Republican nominees at the general elec-
tion, to be held on the 1st Tuesday in No-
vember 1905, and that I will not indirectly
or tn any other way oppose any of said
candidates so nominated. My post-office
address is Somerset, Pa.
Calvin M. Ankeny.
Some Golden Truth Told by a Labor
Organ.
Once in a while a professional labor
paper will contain some truth, but we
must admit that as a rule their chief
stock in trade is to lie and appeal to
the prejudices of their readers, simply
because such a large proportion of
laboring men would rather read abuse
of individuals and companies than to
read logical, sensible literature—litera-
ture that is fair to both employer and
employe.
During the past few weeks a lot of
labor leaders have been going up and
down the George's Creek coal region,
sowing the seeds of anarchy and strife
that in coarse of time will ruin many a
poor miner and bring him face to face
with starvation and all manner of
trouble. The agitators’ chief stock in
trade is abuse of superintendents and
coal companies, all of which will work
only harm to the miner and his cause.
The George’s Creek Press, the official
U.M. W.of A. organ of this district,
sees the foolishness of such a course,
and in ite issue of Sept. 21st condemned
the policy of the agitators in no un-
certain language.
To maintain its standing with the
miners’ organization, we fear very
much that the Press is beginning to
tell the miners too much truth, for we
have always noticed that as soon as a
labor organ begins to print stuff that is
just to the employer as well as to the
employe, about that soon it begins to
be condemned by the hosts of labor
and is forced to fight organization for
Following is a
portion of what the Press had to say in
its issue of Sept. 21st, and which we
heartily endorse:
“We must say that we do not like,
and cannot endorse, the too-prevalent
fashion of condemning every man
whose views are not with ours. Specif-
ically, we object to wasting breath and
valuable time in jumping on stuffed
figures. This is all the “John Brydon”
and the spotter business really amounts
to, and the bright men who are here
for the United Mine Workers owe it to
their own intelligence to cut it out.
John Brydon is not a scoundrel, nor a
demon ; he is not a personal tyrant, nor
does it strengthen the cause of trades-
unionism to call him so. He is merely
a Dighte employe of the Consolidation
Coa Company, paid his daily wa,
just like any other employe, and sub-
Ject to discharge if he does not do his
duty, like any other man. Heis a man
of ability and brains—otherwise, at his
early age, he would hardly be where he
is; John Brydon has no special pull—
no wealth, and but distant connection
with wealth,
We want our people paid the most
obtainable, consistent with the prices
obtained for coal and the cost of pro-
duction, figured on facts, not guess
work.
None of these things has anything to
do with personalities, and personalities
are good only for stirring up unneces-
sary prejudice, for deepening the gulf
between employers and employes, and
for making temporarily red-hot union
men out of the most emotional people,
without providing a feather-weight of
solid unjon sentiment upon which to
build an enduring union structure later

STRIKE NOT LIKELY.
Drains on U. M. W. of A. Treasury
Have Been Too Heavy.
Dispatches from Indianapolis, Ind.,
headquarters of the United Mine
Workers of America, quote a leading
official in that organization as saying
that there is little likelihood of a strike
at the termination of the agreement
between the operators and miners on
April 1, 1806.
This official advises stocking up with
coal this winter, and explains that
there can be no possibility of a strike
before next spring. Wall street opera-
tors are circulating these strike rumors
for speculative purposes.
There is something else back of this
official’s talk, if rumor is correct. It
is stated that the immense defense
fund, instead of amounting to several
million dollars, actually amounts to
less than half a million. The expen-
ditures during the last year and a half
have been something fabulous. It is
said that over $200,000 was lost in the
strike at Meyersdale, where the opera-
tors won, and there have been several
other great losses. With this defense
fund melted, there is little likelihood
of another strike, for the organization
could hardly stand the drain on the
treasury.—Connellsville Courier.

TRUE AS GOSPEL.
When Francis J. Kooser was elected
Judge of Bomerset county, there was
put to route one of the most daring
and bossiest of bosses that ever lorded
it over the “Frosty Sons of Thunder.”
Then was downed the ring that grafted
to flushness by encouraging candi-
dates to come out by squads and using
the announcement fees thus gathered
in to lick all but the selection of pets
sorted out to be supported by the ring.
Then was downed a gang that fleeced
the people to the king’s taste in the
prices they charged in their own news-
papers for publishing the election proe-
lamations and other public printing.
Then was downed a “never-could-get-
enough” crowd that to this day revel
in a luxury of wealth that they reaped
in the field of political spoil. To J. A.
Berkey more than any other man at-
taches the credit for the long and de-
termined fight which gave to Sculldom
its Waterloo, and he deserves the
thanks and support of his party for the
part he took in the hard-won battle.—
Berlin Record.
Will Test Vaccination Law.
A test of the constitutionality of the
recent strenuous orders to vaccinate
all school children issued by the State
Board of Health is likely to be given a
legal test at an early date in Chambers-
burg, Franklin county, where prosecu-
tions are to be brought against the
school board for denying children ad-
mission to the schools of that place.
