Ir it were possible for all employers to employ their help by the hour or piece, and let men work as many hours as they wished, the eight-hour-a-day demand would be dead in a year. Half or more of the men would put in from ten to twelve hours. John Mitchell would not convince many then with his statement that “a man can do as much in eight hours as in ten.” Everybody knows better, but some argue Mitch- ell’s way. All things considered, the eight-hour day is a curse to the labor- ing class, for more reasons than one. First, the eightehour day means a re- duction of wages, for few employers will pay as much for eight hours work as they will for ten, and they would be fools to do so. Second, the eight-hour day is a humbug for the reason that more laboring men squander their spare time than those who put it to good use in reading, studying or other- wise trying to improve their minds and social condition. Besides, the man who has the intellect and determina- tion to rise to a more desirable avoca- tion than that of a common laborer, will succeed; aud the more hours he works, the sooner he will succeed. Such a man will always find some time for self-improvement, no matter whether he works ten or twelve hours a day with his hands. Eight hours of honest, steady manual labor would be enough for a days work, if the average laborer would devote at least two hours’ a day to self improvement. But the average wage-earner is not built that way. and when he adds the two hours to his loafing, drinking, gambling or sporting time, he adds to his own pov- erty and to the poverty and illiteracy of his children. There are many other reasons why the eight-hour day is not to be desired, but they need not ke stated here. They ought to be appar- ent to all thinking and observing people. Ox Monday evening the grocery store of W. D. Thompson & Co. was closed by the Sheriff, at the suit of C W. Thompson, use of Cashier Floto, of the Citizens’ National Bank of Meyers- dale. This is a failure that many peo- ple could see coming a year or more ago. The manager of the store, Wm. D. Thompson, has ever borne a good reputation for honesty and correct personal habits, but he made the mis- take of hislife when he allowed his store to become a sort of strikers’ head- quarters during the late disastrous miners’ strike. Men who were working in the mines and had money to spend during the strike, and those following other avocations who were not in sym- pathy with the strikers, hardly dared enter some of the stores in this town while the strike was on, owing to the insults that they were usually sub- jected to by strikers that congregated there. Naturally all such stores lost prestige and patronage of the sort that can be relied upon, and instead piled up bad accounts against men who never did nor never will pay their honest debts. We do not mean to say that all of the strikers are deadbeats, for the truth is that many of them are honest and upright men. But we do say that most of the deadbeats of this community are men who belonged to the miners’ union during the strike, and the worst of them are men who usually howl the loudest against “scab- bing,” prate much of their own honor and manly principle, but in reality possess none of those virtues and never do the square thing by those who are kind to then®and trust them to the necessities of life. Yes, “Billy” Thomp- son went under largely through put- ting too much confidence in a lot of dirty deadbeats that were hiding their ‘n humbug, anyway, and nobody knows contrary cannot change the truth of this assertion. He kept a lot of lazy “bucks in breeches’ and their families from want, and the same fellows now give him the grand go-by and woulnd’t square up with him if they could. We feel sorry for “Billy,” but he had béen warned of his mistake, and he has paid a high price for a thorough acquaint- ance with a lot of fellows who make great professions of honesty and a square deal for every man, but who in reality are a set of dirty deadbeats, in- grates and members of the miners’ |i union only for the purpose of using the union cloak to hide their dirty pringiple. The Sheriff will sell Mr. Thompson's store goods and fixtures, horse, wagon and household goods, next Tuesday.

You can’t expect that a weak stomach will regain its strength and get well when it is com- pelled to do the full work that a sound stomach should do. You wouldn't ex- pect a sick horse to get well when it is compelled to do a full day’s work every day of the week.

The Franklin county teachers’ insti- tute, in session last week, passed a res- olution in which it said: “Wa regard the vaccination law as being detrimen- tal to the schools of the Common- wealth, and an infringement on the constitutional rights of each parent.” A similar resolution should be passed by every county institute in the state. This law has been roundly condemned in every part of the state, and it is a fair assumption that its origin and ad- vocacy was based upon personal inter- est. It is a relic of a sort of legislation enacted under a now defunct regime, and should be repealed at the first op- portunity.—Somerset Standard. Right you are, Mr. Standard Man. The vaccination law of Pennsylvania is a piece of tyranny that every liberty- loving Pennsylvanian should fight against and insist on its repeal. It was passed at the behest of a lot of medical charlatans and knaves who sought gain by trampling the rights of parents under foot. The present vae- cination law in Pennsylvania works great harm to the schools of the com- monwealth, stirs up ill feeling between parents, teachers and directors, and that’s all there is to it. It ought to be repealed as soon as possible, and every newspaper should work earnestly for that end.

Under the Compulsory Education law. a fine cannot be imposed upen parents or guardians for the non-at- tendance of pupils who have been ex- cluded from the public schools on the ground that they do not present a cer- tificate of successful vaccination, ac- cording to an official opinion by Attor- ney General Carson to Superintendent of Public Instruction Schaeffer. Mr. Carson says in a letter, mailed today to Dr. Schaeffer, that he is in re- ceipt of a large number of communieca- tions, written to him at the instance. of State Health Commissioner Dixon, by parents, teachers, school directors and district superintendents, all bearing on the same subject, and indicating by their number and variety the serious difficulty arising from a supposed con- flict between the Compulsory Educa- tion law and the law relating to vae- cination. He explains at length the rights and duties of all parties to this controversy, and then gives the foregoing decision.
