Senator Penrose, it is said, will control the Philadelphia delegates to the Republican State Convention. Mayor Weaver gained more credit than he deserved for the upheavel in Philadelphia. He did not turn a hand for reform until it was forced on him, He ie not of the calibre from which Governors of the Folk, Lafollette or Cummins type are made, says the Con- nellsville Courier, and it’s the truth. Frances Courter, a white girl at Washingtonville, N. Y., recently mar- ried William Bruyn, a negro, at New- burg. When the girl returned home with her African husband, her father very properly knocked both of them down, and the angry villagers attacked Bruyn and threatened to lynch him. The negro escaped however, but iater he and his white bride were both placed in jail. It’s a pity the girl's father didn’t kill the couple, and if a white parson or magistrate performed the marriage ceremony, he, too, deserved killing. The amalgamation of the white and black race is a crime against God and man. WHEN some future historian writes the history of American morals of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, he will find something for criticism in the relations of the country that pro- claims itself the most progressive, to Cbina, which it denounces as the anti- pode in more senses than one. To China we are sending missionaries with Bibles and an assortment of re- ligions, and drummers with hundreds of commodities which we wish to sell, but these “heathen in their blindness” are able to see that while our mission- aries are teaching them that they are good enough for heaven, we are at the same time holding that they are not good enough for the United States. Washington Post. “We send people there to exploit their material resour- ces, to decry their moral and social standards, to vex them with theologies which they do not understand or wel- come, and to preach dewn at them against every conviction, standard, and observance handed down to them through countless centuries. Yet we expect them to submit patiently to in- terference which would in this country be requited with instant and deadly energy. Our missionaries must go to China and do as they please, without the smallest consideration for the sen- timents, thelereeds, and the established civilization of the people; but when a Chinese gentlemanTfcomes here to travel, to study or to engage in busi- ness, he is treated as though he were an enemy or an abandoned criminal.” Lawyer Berkey Wins Another Victory. The Superior Court that was in ses- sion at Scranton, on Saturday handed down a decision in the Henry Loechel license case, that had been appealed to that body from the decision of the Court of Quarter Sessions in this coun- ty, on the grounds that his bondsmen who were 8 Baltimore Surety Company, did not meet the requirement of the law. This case was the last one of the liquor cases appealed from this county, and was defective as was the other ones, and in addition ‘the court held that his bonds were not legal. From this decision it would appear that hotel men can hereafter get Surety Com- panies for their ;bonds. The decision Druggist. — Our illogical attitude is thus told in the WORK FOR THE TRAMP. Somerset County Commissioners Should Follow Example of Fay- ette Commissioners. The commissioners of Fayette county have taken steps that will soon rid that county of thieving, murderous trampe. The “Weary Willies” will soon begin to steer clear of “old Fiat,” but will be- come more numerous in Somerset and other neighboring counties. Our eoun- ty commissioners should adopt the course of the Fayette commissioners, which is fully described in the follow- ing information taken from the columns of the Connellsville Courier. “The Fayette County Commissioners are determined to stamp out the tramp evil in Fayette county. A gang of 23 Davidson ovens, adjoining Connells- ville, were this morning put to work on a stone pile at the County Home. Balls and chains and a strong guard are pro- vided to prevent escape and insure an honest dey’s work from every one of them. Itis the announced intention of the Commissioners to treat every tramp arrested in the county to a term on the stone pile. There is a big aif- ference between the warm jail with two or three meals a day and. ten hours’ work a day in the open without pay. It is to be hoped the policy of the Commissioners will prove effectual. Three-fourths of the robberies and holdups in this county recently ean be attributed to the tramp class that in- fested the coke ovens by night and the towns by day.” A MODERN MIRACLE. “Truly miraculous seemed the re- covery of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place,” writes J. 0. R. Hooper, Wood- ford, Tenn., “she was so wasted by coughing up puss from her lungs. Doctors declared ber end so near that her family had watched by her bed- side forty-eight hours; when, at my urgent request Dr. King’s New Discov- ery was given her, with the astonishing result that improvement began, and continued until she finally completely recovered, and is a healthy woman to- day.” Guaranteed cure forcoughs and colds. 50c.'and $1.00 at E.

The Citizens’ Light, Heat and Power Co., of Salisbury, has its light plant now completed, and yesterday evening the light was turned on for the first time. However, some of the little de- tails are not yet perfect, and the plant will not be in operation for business until Feb. 1st. The light that will be furnished before that time will be free, and tonight we expect to grind out Tie Brir under the glare of electrieity. We are somewhat late in getting to press, this week, owing to a big rush of job work, the wiring of our office, ete: The eléectric light may kill some of the old fogies of the town, but Salisbury can well spare them. BEATS THE MUSIC CURE. “To keep the body in tune,” writes Mrs. Mary Brown, 20 Lafayette Place, Poughkeepsie; N.- Y. “I take Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They are the most reliable and pleasant laxative I have found.” Best for the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist. 25c. 2-1 “ec tric Road Matters. A party composed of Pittsburg and New York capitalists and promoters came to Salisbury last week in the in- terest of the dormant Meyersdale & Salisbury Street Railway. " From here they went to Jennings, Md., to confer with Mr. C. H. Jennings, who is said to be in a position to take a hand in the project and see that the road is built on short notice, providing the | present company is willing to sell its interests at a fair price. The interest Mr. Jennings is taking in the road is giving our people the greatest of confi- dence that it will soon be built, for they know that Mr. Jennlngs is a man of deeds and not of mere words. TrHE STAR has good reasons to believe that street cars will be running in Salisbury before the coming summer is ended. ALWAYS INCREASES THE STRENGTH.

In his report for the sehool year end- ing June 6, 1905, Dr, Nathan C. Schaef- fer, Superintendent of Public Instrue- tion, treats the vaccination law at some length. He declares it to be unsatis- factory because it has failed to make vaccination universal ; because it has disorganized the schoolg in communi- ties where there is no apparent danger from smallpox ; because it punishes the innoeent instead of the guilty; because it does not exclude unvaccinated chil- dren from public places,and yet assumes that they must be kept away from oth- er children, and because it does not im- pose vaccination upon teachers, but obliges them to shoulder the odium which arises through the neglect of a duty for which parents, physicians and health officers should be held responsi- ble. Dr. Schaeffer's grounds for objection to this pernicious law are well taken, and he might have, without any exhibi- tion of impropriety, drawn his objee- tions in mueh stronger terms. He might have declared it to be a farce, because it does not, and ean not, ac- complizh the purpose of its enactment ; that instead of compelling many chil- dren to come into school vaccinated, it has only compelled them to stay out of school unvaccinated, and that it thus deprives bundreds of children of the cation that has been the boust of all Pennsylvanians. It is said that by reason of this round- ly condemned law a number of the schools in the northern part of this county are practically unattended, the teachers merely keeping the school- houzes open in order to draw their sal- aries. Think of an unvaccinated teacher be- ing compelled to turn a child away from school because it is not vaccinat- ed, and you have one of the glaring ab- surdities of this obnoxious law; and another absurdity is the fact that while another law compels children to at- tend school, this vaccination law bars them from attendance. It is extremely doubtful that the law of 1885 was intended to apply to the rural districts, but the health officers have construed it to so apply, and are vigorously pressing its enforcement, probably to demonstrate the truth of the saying that, “if you would kill a bad law, enforce it.” But why is this law pressed only upon the day schools, when it applies with equal force to the Sunday schools? Why should the zeal of the authorities stop half'way? There is a clear public demand for the repeal of that part of the law of 1806 imposing vaccination where no such preeaution is necessary.—BSomer- set Standard. There is much truth in the utterances of the Standard on this topie. The ob- noxious vaccination law is only one of the many outrages upon humanity that doctorcraft is responsible for,and it was passed at the instigation of a set of consciencelese grafters that are not fit to live in a civilized country. The kind of e vaeeination law we need is one that would imprison doctors that would try to force sueh an infernal humbug upon the people, especially when seeking to manipulate their game of grab by striking at innocent rosy childhood, and throwing im- pediments in the way of the progress and proper operation of our public school system. The vaecination law of Pennsylvania is a supreme piece of 1 idioey and raseslity, and it is indeed a hopeful sign when the newspapers throughout the state are beginning to cry out against it. The people will not stand for such a law, and it must and will be repealed along with a lot of other pernicicus legislation passed at Harrisburg during the last ten years. Wabash Reported to be a Pretty Sure Thing for Salisbury. A Mount Savage special says: “The rumdr that the Wabash Railroad Com- pany is going to build a railroad from Wheeling to Cumberland has become almost an established fact, and the people of Mount Savage are looking forward with great anxiety to the day on which the first train will pass along the edge of this town, according to a sketch which the chief engineer gave yesterday. The road will run from Wheeling to Pittsburg, thence to Mey- ersdale, and from Meyersdale over through Salisbury, cross the C. & P. tracks on an overhead trestle, and un- der the C. & P. tracks at the Frostburg Y, and on down through the Trimble property to Mount Savage, where it will run along what is known as Mack’s eat and enable the digestive organs to lieves of the higher court will not be sent to end 10 cents for Si B STEVENS ARMS is county under assimilate and transform all foods into | OR 1 Hill, and on down through Barralsville to Cash Valley, and from there down to a po just above > 1 connect benefits of the splendid system of edu- Hh Sorel
