WHATEVER our means of locomotion, we are all in favor of good roads, and it is a short-sighted policy on the part of any community to neglect these thoroughfares. THE peasants of France and Italy use the clumsy and antiquated sickle to cut their grain; but they are sensibly and conspicuously in advance of Amer- icans in the construction and mainten- ance of good roads. Goop roads not only have a positive money value to the farmers and to the townspeople, but a social and moral value, by virtue of the convenience, comfort, and refining influences which good roads diffuse throughout the rural regions. TrousaNDs of voters joined in nomi- nating the Somerset county Republican ticket. It is, therefore, the people’s choice. If you believe in majority rule, go to the polls on Nov. 7th and cast a vote for the entire Republican ticket by making an X in the square at the right of the name Republican, at the top of the ballot. Ir seems to be the policy of the Philadelphia North American to laud and praise men until they are elected to office, then turn and rend them and blacken their characters. The publish- ers of that paper are great on sensation in order to make their paper sell, and about the only office-holder they have not yet attacked is President Roose- velt. But they will likely be after him, too, in due time. : Br a straight man and vote either the straight Republican or straight Democratic ticket. Too many of. the other fellows are faking, this year, and trying to combine with Socialists, out- laws, political soreheads and all man- ner of malcontents. It is dangerous to combine with the illiterate and vicious elements. No intelligent man will vote any of the mongrel tickets if he gives the matter a sober second thought. Waren “Edwie” Werner, “Clintie” Wagner and “Charlie” Landman sit around in public places and name the different persons with whom and the places where campaign boodle must be left, as they did in Salisbury, last night, they should be sure that other persons are not within hearing distance. To talk of placing boodle doesn’t sound right when coming from would-be re- formers. All of the Orphans’ follow- ing should demand their share of the swag that is being left with a favored few. : Some time ago the bolters were howl- ing that Senator Knox was not in sym- pathy with the Republican state or- ganization, but when Senator Knox told them otherwise in a public speech, they had to look around for a new lie to spring. They would now have you believe that President Roosevelt is in sympathy with the bolting movement in this state, or rather that he would be if he were a resident of Pennsyl- varia. Don’t you believe such rot for a moment. Roosevelt is a loyal, true blue party organization Republican, and what he wants is. a united party. He has no sympathy for bolters and wreckers of the grand old Republican party. “EpwiIe” WERNER and “Sissie” Wag- ner made a house to house canvass for votes, in this town, last week. “Edwie” distributed great bundles of his great Berlin “spooch,” also copies of the “spooch” he didn’t make at the so-call- ed Citizens’ Union convention in “Lu- cifer Anznias” Smith’s back office. While “Edwie” was here he should have delivered those books he got paid for and failed to deliver to people in this vicinity, some years ago. We have reference to his history of the Umber- ger murder and trial and execution of the Nicely brothers. Perhaps he saved the half-dollars collected then, and for which he delivered no books, to pay his expenses in this campaign. Tue Philadelphia North American, which has degenerated from a once great newspaper to a common scold and calamity howler, has lately had a good deal to say as to what Theodore Roosevelt would do if he resided in Philadelphia. The North American’s “yap” is on a par with the speculations some people are always making as to “what Jesus would do.” They know a deuce of a lot, these idle speculators, and if things should come to the test, many of them would be greatly sur- prised. It is our opinion that if Theo- dore Roosevelt resided in Philadelphia he would soon find out that Mayor Weaver and the gang he is trying to place in power are worse than the gang he is trying to oust. THE official affairs of Somerset county are exceptionally well managed, be- cause we have good, clean, able men in office—men who have been honored and respected many years in their re- spective communities. The same can be said of the men now running for office on the Republican ticket, and they will all be elected, too. There is no room or need whatever of official reform in Somerset county, and even if there should be, all honest men who know them will agree that the Sculls, old Lou Smith, “Edwie” Werner and other political tricksters and grand past masters in the art of grafting, of that gang, are not the proper persons to be at the head of a reform movement and be the chief beneficiaries thereof. SoME years ago when the Scull broth- ers had reason to believe that the of- ficial primary election ballots were be- ing printed at Tue Star office, T. ‘R. Sufall, then an employe of this paper, was approached by a well known Scull ring heeler and offered a bribe in the shape of a good job in the Herald office if he would steal an official ballot from Tue Star office. The ballot was want- ed, of course, so that it could be dupli- cated on a Scull ring printing press and large quantities of the same illegally piaced in the hands of Scull henchmen all over the county before election day. Mr. Sufall declined to become a party to the dirty scheme and promptly went before Justice of the Peace Lichliter and made a sworn statement of the facts. That shows what kind of honesty could be expected at a primary held under control of the Sculls. Some of the Orphans’ and Citizens’ Union candidates are circulating bogus instructions to voters. They advise voters to mark only in one place on the official ballots, either in the square at the right of the name “Orphans” or the square at the right of the name “Citi- zens’ Union.” Ballots so marked will cheat the voter out of his choice for state officers, as it will count for no state candidates whatever, as the two mongrel parties named have no state ticket in the field. It is a bold and rascally trick for Wagner, Werner, Weaver, Walker, Zimmerman, Donges, Ankeny, Streng, Steinbaugh, Bownan and May to undertake to care only for themselves and euchre voters out of their choice for state candidates. But we hardly think the voters will be caught napping, and we take notice .they had any evidence of graft. that Begley and Rayman, tke two Re- publicans placed on the mongrel tickets without the consent of those two gen- tlemen, are not attaching their names to the many lying and misleading cir- culars sent out from “Edwie” Werner's political literature bureau. Every loyal Republican should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom. An X marked in the square to the right of the party name will do the businesss. | =| If you mark your ballot as here in- dicated, you will run no risk of blun- dering and losing your vote. Don’l listen to the old threadbare off-year plea that politics should not be taken into consideration at this election. To yield to such entreaties always works havoc with your party and weakens it when strength is most needed. Flirt- ing with the enemy in off years was responsible for the great Cleveland panic, and Republicans should be very careful not to commit the same blun- der again. If you look back over the past you cannot point out one single instance wherein you or the country were ever benefited by giving aid to the opponents of the Republican ticket. and you know it. Like the devil when he tried to tempt Christ on the moun- tain, the opponents of the Republican ticket are always offering consolation that they can never give. REPUBLICAN THE Czar of Russia has at last lifted the yoke of oppression from his mil- lions of subjects, and at one stroke of the pen has granted them civic liberty, based on the universal right of fran- chise, freedom of conscience, speech, union and association; the right of habeas corpus, exemption from im- prisonment, except on trial by jury; every man to participate in election of Doumas, or popular law-making bodies ; laws to emanate from these Doumas instead of from the throne. The Czar guarantees the enforcement of all such laws, pledging that the government will not interfere with their applica- tion. Thus are the doors now wide open for great and small reforms, and it is safe to predict that Russia will speedily advance in everything calcu- Inted to make a nation great and its people happy. The recent great vic- tory over the Russians by the Japanese, and the great revolt among the Czar’s subjects have brought the Czar and his autocratic and despotic grand dukes to their senses. Prime Minister Witte, whose wise counsel the Czar has hearkened to, is the strong man of new Russia and the idol of her teeming millions. Long live Witte, the physi- cal and intellectual giant. Tur action of two successive grand juries recommending the building of a new court house, having been approved by the Judge, made it mandatory upon the Commissioners to carry out the wishes of the people thus expressed. The Commissioners selected an archi- tect, plans were selected and the con- tract was let. The architect became the agent of the county, and is respon- sible to the county for the carrying out of his plans and specifications. He is the superintendent of the county in the construction of the building, and as his labors require his presence at other places at intervals, he employed and pays Judge Dickey to superintend the work during his absence. Dickey is responsible to the architect and the architect is responsible to the com- missioners. Judge Dickey is not paid by the county and is not under contract with the county. The Herald cries, “why don’t the Commissioners hire a man to look after work on the court house?” The Commissioners did this when they selected the architect and are paying him for that purpose. To follow the Herald’s advice would be to pay two men for the services of one; besides, no self-respecting architect would submit to such an evident want of confidence.—Somerset Democrat. THE old Scull ring organs continue to howl “graft, graft, graft!” But they fail to give a bill of particulars, and they also fail to make prosecutions, as they would be only too glad to do if Talk is cheap, and howl as they will, every voter who knows anything about the Scull gang; knows full well that all the ring leaders of that rascally crowd are after is to once more get back to the public crib, where they fed fat for years, while the Scull ring organs, the Herald and Commercial, charged sev- eral times the legal rate for public printing. THE Star and the Somerset Standard exposed their game of graft showed that the Scull ring charged the county: $567 for printing a 1 and gave full bills of particulars. They | organs | single election proclamation, and by exposing that piece of rascality and others equally as bad, the Scull ring was finally driven from power. Since the overthrow of the Scull machine, the price of printing election procla- | mations has ranged from $30 to about $50, and county financial statements from $50 to $75. The Scull prices for printing county statements ranged from $150 to $200, and all other publie printing in proportion. Quite a dif- ference, isn’t it, Mr. Taxpayer? Ae- cusations supported only by innuende, which is the Scull style, do not count. Facts and figures are wanted by men capable of thinking. ——— —— WerNER, Wagner, Walker, Ankeny and other of the mongrel candidates are out before the people with a rot- dispensing circular in which they say they “have been placed in nomination for the respective county offices to be filled at the election next Tuesday, by a large number of the best citizens of the county, under the names of Or- phans and Citizens’-Union.” A greater untruth never was uttered. They prae- tically nominated themselves in the - back office of the Meyersdale Commer- cial, and the people all know it. Let them tell if they dare how many of the 48 election precincts in this county were represented in that so-called con- vention. How many voters in all Som- erset county can say that they had a voice in naming delegates sent to that so-called convention? Not a dozen voters in Somerset county, aside from the self-nominated candidates, had any voice whatever in the misnamed affair, so what’s the use in their lying to the people about it. It was no more of a representation of the people of the county than if it had been a convea- tion consisting of an owl, a parrot, a monkey and a cat. In fact it was noth- ing but a monkey and parrot caucus, and the outcome was only a monkey trick. The signers of the circular only made monkeys of themselves when they placed their names to their lying circular, but we hardly think many of the voters will make asses of them- selves by voting for such monkeys. Wnox are we to believe? The Som- erset Herald says the Orphans’ party is made up of Republicans, but the Or- phans’ candidates themselves are out in a circular in which they disclaim that statement, saying they represent all political policies, and they ought to know. To runon all political policies makes a platform far too elastic for the average voter, and he readily comes to the conclusion that such candidates have consciences that are too elastic to command the votes of honest men. They also say in their circular that they “pledge themselves, if honered with an election, to perform their duties fear- leasly,” ete., etc. Pledge themselves, indeed, just as though the voters didn’: already know that Werner, Wagner, Walker and Ankeny are pledge-break- ers to begin with. They pledged them- selves in writing, when candidates at the Republican primary, that whether nominated or not, they would support the successful Republican candidates for nomination and do nothing to pre- vent their election. Are they keeping their pledge? No! They can’t do it for lying! Their pledges are as elastie as their politics, and if they go back on their written signatures, they will be even more liable to go back on their printed names. Down with such fakirs! If you are a Republican, Dem- ocrat or Prohibitionist, stick to your party. If you are nothing, and very little of that, vote for nothing by vot- ing the Orphans’ or Citizens’-Union ticket, which is backed by the Socialists and sll manner of malcontents and soreheads. Lastly, a Science. Rev. Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus has ae- cepted a chair established especially for him in the Chicago Theological Seminary. It carries the title, “profes- sor of the science of preaching”— Chicago Dispateh. The first essential to a good sermon is—select a strong text; second—stick to it; third—preach it both indoors and outdoors, especially outdoors. Beyond the Apostolic way of carry- ing the Gospel “to them that are lost” there is no “science of preaching,” and cannot be, very truthfully says the Frostburg Mining Journal. BUT FEW ARE FREE. But few people are entirely free from indigestion at this season of the year. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is not only the best remedy to use because it digests what you eat, but because it also enables the digestive apparatus to as- similate and transform all. foods into tissue-building blood. Kodol relieves sour stomach, heart burn, ‘belching, and all forms of Indigestion. Sold by | E. H, Miller. 12-1
