Tae Pennsylvania State Grange, in session this week at Sunbury, passed ringing resolutions against the com- pulsory vaccination of school children. The Grangers want the hateful, op- pressive and sinful law repealed. The wrath of the people is hourly growing stronger against the medical grafters who caused the law to be passed, and also against those who seek to keep that piece of legislative infamy on the statute books. A storm of righteous indignation is brewing against medical graft, and vaccination must go. TaE old bellyaching Somerset Herald is not at all pleased because the Grand Jury did not find a true bill in the Kendall libel case, and it shouts “fractional” bias apd insinuates that “fractionalism” figured in the selection of the jurrors. We have often heard of factionalism, but just what the Her- ald means by “fractionalism” and “fractional” bias is not quite clear to us. However, we suppose we can get an explanation by calling on a certain man up on Negro Mountain who used to ray thatihe belonged to the Scull “fraction,” but would always admit that the said aggregation was a dirty one, THE STAR congratulates Hon. 8. A. Kendall on the victory he has won over Calvin Ankeny and Clinton C. Wagner, the two silly Orphans’ party candidates who had brought suit against Mr. Kendall for alleged dam- ages and criminal libel. The plaintiffs’ were not damaged in the least by the things Mr. Kendall’s newspaper, the Meyersdale Republican, had said about them, and the Grand Jury did right in ignoring the indictment. It is a true saying that the fool and his money are soon parted, and if Ankeny and Wag- ner are not wiser now than when they espoused the Orphans’ party cause and got into the pledge-breaking business, they are at least somewhat poorer in purse, and it serves them right for making such dolts and monkeys of themselves. ‘Colonel Edwie” was too smart to go to law without a case, as his political pals did, but instead crawled into a hole with his old court house anaconda tc hibernate for the winter. Ankeny and Wagner are not only very poor business men, but they sre very poor politicians. Public Ownership a Failure. Washington, December 9.—Professor Frank H. Toberts, of the University of Denver, Col.,, was presented to Presi- dent Roosevelt by Represeatative Mondell, of Wyoming. Professor Roberts returned within a few days from an extended trip in Europe, where he went to study the question of municipal ownership of public utilities. He visited Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Brus- sels, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg and Berlin. He told the President that public ownership of public utilities was a failure in Europe, and predicted that in a few years it would have few sup- porters, even in Great Britain, where it has been popular.

Endsley, ant, New Editor of the Carleton Leader. Times, back in the “Eighties” when we used to edit that paper, is now a full- fledged editor himself, having purchas- ed the Carleton Leader and planked himself right down in the editorial chair, last week, to mould public opin- ion. “Jimmie,” dear old boy, we never thought you'd come to anything so sad, but now that the nemesis has got you, our best wishes are with you, and we hope you will make the best of it. We have read Editor Bryant’s salu- tatory with much interest, and we will here review some of it. He says he is going into the paper business to help build up Carleton, also to make a few dollars for himself. That’s right, James, perfectly right, and we hope you’ll make lots of dollars for yourself, even if the old town does not build up a particle in the next twenty years. He says he is fully aware that he will meet with a good deal of criticism, and that he knows the life of an editor is not one of ease and peace. Right you are, James, and if you don’t know it, you’ll soon find it out, “as the feller says, cays he.” But a good editor is always proud of the fool enemies he makes, and he hews to the line, regard- less of who gets pasted in the “mug” with the chips. Editor Bryant further says he does not wish to antagonize anyone, and he declares that he has seen the dove of peace hovering over Carleton. Now, James, if it were not for the fact that we know it to be impossible for editors to lie, (except when the truth doesn’t suit) we’d doubt that statement. for the birds that most editors see hover- ing around are the war eagles, gaunt vultures of famine, and the “jays” that think they know more about running a newspaper than the editor. But we’ll hope, at least, that you actually saw the dove of peace, and that it will prove to be a good omen, especially to “Sunny Jim,” the editor. Editor Bryant also says in his paper that much of his time when a youth was spent in herding swine, when he should have been in school, and for that reason, he says, he is not very well up on grammar, punctuation, ete. Like most editors, he is modest, and he ad- ‘mite that he doesn’t know it all; but it won't take him long to find out how many astute gentlemen there are who belong to the “Ancient and Amalgam- ated Association of Storebox Warmers,” who will be ready and willing at all times to tell him just “how fur to run his paper” and “what fur to print.” He will also find cut in a very short time that there isn’t much difference, anyway, between an editor and a herder of swine. The herder feeds the pork- ers, rides them to water, ete., and lis- tens to the music of their grunts of contentment, while every editor spends much cof his substance in educating swine, ell of which represents much hard labor and no pay. We are not re- ferring to the reading public in general, but only to that portion of it that never pays a cent for its news and newspaper education. We refer only to the swine portion of the human family, that por- tion which either deadbeats the editor or borrows newspapers from others— the bum, the beat, the borrower, the human porker who sponges off of others all his liie, and who squeals every time the truth hits him, louder and longer than a four-legged swine when it gets a whack over the snout. But, “Jimmie,” old boy, we hope your troubles may be few, your pros- perity great, and your good influence mighty. You have our best wishes, and we know that you’ll do your best. Carleton ought to stick to you, tooth and toenail. So mote it be, “as the feller says, says he.” A LIQUID COLD CURE.

NORTH DAKOTA LETTER. News that Will Interest Many of the **Old-Timers.” : Zioxw, N. D., Dec. 8th, 1905. Eprror 8tar:—I might write and add extracts enough to fill an entire issue*of your most excellent paper, sete ting forth the merits, the progress and unprecedented prosperity of the great Northwest, of which North Dakota plays no mean part; but I shall state only briefly that our feasons, our weather and crops this year hate been all that could be reasonably desired. Indeed all exceeded our most sanguine expectations. We had the finest kind of fall weather up to the 23rd of Nov. Plowing was continued, however, a day longer, but then, the following Monday. old “Boreas” surprised us with a raging snow storm from the Northeast, which soon assumed the velocity and fury of a genuinely howl- ing, suffocating blizzard, lasting 48 hours, almost equal to the famous Thanksgiving blizzard of 1896. But this is again a blessing in disguise, and we are sure of an abundance of mois- ture to start our crops next spring again, if we are permitted to live that long, and if we don’t, others will derive the benefit. Yesterday and today, at our court house in Cando, is conducted the sale of public land, state land and school- sections, which goes like hot cakes, at from $20 to $25 per acre. Some choice pieces go even above that. Much of it is bought up by adjoining homestead- ers I almost forgot to state that we are having fine sledding ever since the blizzard. The weather toned down, | thawing a little, and the farmers have again resumed grain hauling. The grain market is getting stronger every day. and the farmers are getting happy once more. Many have gone, and many more are going “down east” to visit over the holidays. Allow me to conclude with an ex- tract from a letter recently received from Samuel D. Boyd, of Peck, Idaho, a former well known citizen of old Elk Lick. He sayc in part: “I am well and feel almost as stout as ever. I have nothing to bother me, so far as want is concerned. For the last two years I have been clerking, off - and on, in a grocery, a hardware store, or our meat market. There is scarcely a day that I don’t work in one or the ' other, more for my health than the pay that is in it. My son Fillmore, who lives here, conducts a butcher shop. - My youngest daughter, Mytie, and her husband, Mr. Washburn, have been living with me most of the time, but next summer they intend to move per- manently out on their ranch. We have all kinds of weather here, rain or snow, ' sunshine and warm, now and then wind for an hour .or two, then again: none for a month or more. As far as living here is concerned, this is the piace for me, which resembles the wild rugged scenery along old Piney Run, only our hills here are from five to ten times higher. I should like to take .a trip east, next spring, but then I dread those horrible storms one is apt to get, caught in.” Mr. Boyd used to live at the mouth’ of Pine Run, and conducted a success-' ful carpet and coverlet weaving busi-' ness for many years. Ihave added the foregoing, knowing that it will interest many of the “old-timers” who are readers of THE Star. And now, kind friends. I must bid you adieu again, wishing you all another merry Christ- mas and a happy New Year. ' Respectfully, M. P. Licary. Latest Wabash News. News concerning purchase of the Georges Creek and Cumberland rail- road by Wabash interests again con- fliets. There is good reason to believe, how- ever, that the purchase has been con- summated. As to taking Frostburg en route Cum- berland to Pittsburg a good deal de- pends— : 1. Ifthe Wabash wanted the Georges Creek road for the outlet through the Narrows only, it is likely the road wil} not touch Frostburg. : 2. If the Wabash has use for the whole road as well as Narrows outlet, or even te Vale Summit—a long lift to Wolf’s-Gap level, the probability is Frostburg will be on the line.
