Most newspapers are usually in favor of new industries locating in the com- munities where they are published, and so active is the Oakland Journal in that direction that it is clamoring for the state of Maryland to locate a tu- berculosis sanitarium at Oakland. That is reaching out after new indus- tries with a vengeance. Why anyone should seek to have a lot of consump- tives located near his home is more than we can account for. About the next thing we know the Journal will be trying to get a smallpox hospital or two located in Oakland. Tae Carleton (Neb.) Leader utters much truth in the following: “We have’nt much spare time, but such as we have we do not see our way clear to devote to the reading of the Appeal to Reason, one of the papers that finds its way to our table. Lots of things in this world are radically wrong, but the extreme methods of tke aforsaid sheet do not appeal to us. All men are born equal, but taking a hurried look over the country enables anyone to readily discover that they do not long remain 80. So why ask that the man or wom- an who takes advantage of the oppor- tunities offered them be held back on the level with those who are behind, and always will be?” LEGALIZED MURDER. One More Victim Added to the Long List of Lives Sacrificed to the Greed of the Medical Profes- sion. The Pittsburg Times of last Monday contained the following news item: “Beatrice Bonsonville, six years old, died at her home, in Carey alley, last night from blood poisoning, said to be due to the effects of vaccination. The little girl had started to school on the South side at the beginning of the last term, and on February 28 had been vaccinated by a doctor. For three or four days she was all right and then her arm began to swell. The doctor was called and he gave the mother some medicine for the child and also a carbolic wash to rub on her arm. This appeared to give relief and nothing more was heard of the sore arm until Saturday, when the child again com- plained of it hurting her and also of pain around her heart. The child rapidly grew worse and. her mother sent for Drs. W. H. Weber and B. S. Adler, but when the physicians arrived at the house the child was dead. In his statement to the coroner last night Dr. Adler said that the child had died of blood poisoning which had heen caused by the vaccination. It was not Dr. Weber or Dr. Adler who vaccinated the child.” The above is only one of many lives that are annually lost through vaccina- tion. The newspapers are publishing accounts of them continually, but the vaccination fakirs who-compile the ly- ing vaccination and smallpox statis- tics, are all medical men and vaccina- tionsts for the revenue there is in it, and they never keep account of the people that are killed by the blood- poisoners. Thank God, there are still some honest and respectable doctors in the world who do not hesitate to tell the truth when vaccination kills, and who are opposed to the damnable business. The repeal of Pennsylvania’s hideous vaccination law is the mos: needed re- form that could possibly be given the people by the next Legislature. The people should demand of the candidates for Legislative honors to declare where they ‘stand on this issue. Those in favor of compulsory vaccination are not fit to represent the people of this commonwealth, and make laws for them, and a long-suffering people could better afford to hang such men than to elect them to office. Vaccination must go, and the sooner the better. WANTED! On Monday last we mailed a large number of statements to subseribers in arrears. The amounts the statements call for range from $1.50 to $12.50. Most of the persons receiving the statements can easily pay at least a portion of the amount due, without any further delay. Some of them can pay in full, without putting themselves to the least bit of inconvenience, and we believe there are none who cannot pay at least a portion of what they owe us. The individual amounts are all small, but in the aggregate they foot up to quite a large sum, and it represents money that has been earned by the hardest kind of hard labor, and in a department of the newspaper business in which there is little or no profit at best. Now, we did sot: meil "those state- ments for the mere sake of investing in postage stamps, and we kindly request those receiving them to cash up as promptly as possible. Pay what you can now, and the balance as soon as possible. Each account is an honest account, and each delinquent should pay as promptly and as cheerfully as he expects others to pay him. And all who can doso should pay a year’s sub- scription in advance, and in that way get the paper for 25 cents less than otherwise. Anyway, it is poor policy to let a newspaper subscription run more than a year without being paid. The poorest of our subscribers can easily keep their subscriptions fully paid without missing the small amount it requires. A quarter or a half-dollar paid now and then is never missed, and such small payments every few months will always keep a newspaper paid in advance. And no better investment can be made, either, than a subscrip- tion to your home paper. It is worth many times its cost, annually, to any family. The last year has been one of enor- mous expense in our family, owing to six members of the family having a prolonged siege of sickness, and this year will be another year of great ex- pense to us, owing to new material that we need in THE Star office. Besides, the editor's wife is very ill again, and the indications are that she will again have to be sent to a hospital before she can hope to have good health. We had hoped to be spared a repetition of the awful worry, suffering and expense of last year, but it is with much sadness that we make the statement that it looks as though our tribulations along the line stated are notover. Wethere- fore want help from our subscribers, and we want it badly. But all we ask is that which they owe us, which is our own, but not yet in our possession. When paid we shall be very thankful. HUMAN BLOOD MARKS. A tale of horror was told by marks of human blood in the home of J. W. Wil- liams, a well known merchant of Bae, Ky. He writes: “Twenty years ago I had severe hemorrhages of the lungs, and wasinear death when I began tak- ing Dr, King’s New Discovery. Itcom- pletely cured me and I have remained well ever since.” It cures Hemor- rhages, Chronic Coughs, Settled Colds and Bronchitis, and is the only known cure for Weak Lungs. Every bottle guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 5-1 GOOD NEWS. Miners in Elk Lick Region Get a Handsome Advance Without Asking for it. Beginning on Monday a new scale of wages went into effect at the mines of this region. The companies have given a voluntary advance of 5 cents per ton for pick mining, with a corresponding increase for all other kinds of mine la- bor. This is the best news THE Star has been able to publish for a long time, and we congratulate the miners and mine laborers of this region on their good fortune. The operators deserve credit for their liberality, and we be- lieve they are desirous at all times to do the best they can for their employes. Both operator and miner should at all times work to their mutual good, cul- tivate friendly relations with each other and avoid disagreements, wage disputes and strikes as much as pos- sible. It is seldom that anything is geined for either side by a strike. It is usually a loss all around—a loss to the operator, a loss to the miner and a loss to the general public. But the loss usually sets the hardest upon the miner, and what is lost to him in wages during a strike is seldom if ever made up by the slight increase he oec- casionally gains, but far more often loses by a strike. And the miner, more than all other men effected by a strike, is the least abie to stand the loss. BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THIS REGION. The prospects are very bright for = good summer’s work in this region. If orher regions ars on a strike all sum- mer, (and the chances are that some of them will be) that will mean great ac- tivity in this region, and our miners ought to take advantage of the harvest and pile up all the dollars they possibly can. Opportunities for the laboring man to earn considerably more than a living come only at intervals, and the intervals are entirely too far apart. But when the prosperous intervals do come, every laboring man should take advantage of them and save as much money as possible. In that way a com- petence for old age can be acquired, and money placed on interest, which i allowed to accumulate, will soon add handsomely to the income of the man who saves his earnings. Of course, some men, and a good many of them, too, never profit by ex- perience. No matter how much they earn, some of them will save nothing. Every dollar they earn over and above a living will go for booze or some other thing that never benefits, but always harms. Then, as soon as the wave of prosperity has swept by, they are pen- niless. Then they bellyache long and loud about a poor man having no show. They kick about the price of everything, except booze. They kick in the dark- ness and kick in the light, kick in their weakness and kick in their might, and while they should be kicking only themselves, they are kicking at the so- cial conditions of mankind, snd clam- oring for a realization of the rosy, but impossible dreams of the socialist and malcontent. The fact is, life is largely what we make it, and he who makes the best of his opportunities, lives within his meins, pays his debts, reads only wholseome literature, etec., usually ac- quires enough and some to spare of this world’s goods. We trust that this will prove to be a prosperous year in this region to all who deserve and strive for prosperity. We trust that mining will be on the boom, that our operators will make lots of money, and that if market prices will permit it, that they will give anoth- er voluntary advance before the sum- mer is ended. No employer should wait to be asked to do that which is just and right. In the meantime, the miners should have nothing to do with unprincipled agitators, such as have been coming into this region from time to time from other states, for the purpose of foment- ing trouble. The agitators and organ- izers profit only by strikes and the suf- ferings of others. When there are no strikes, the labor agitator is out of a “soft snap,” and then he has to earn his bread in the sweat of his face, same as other men. Give the agitator and labor graftor the cold shoulder, and don’t lose sight of the fact that in this region the U. M. W. of A. has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. There is no need of a miners’ organ- ization in this region. All it is good for is to pay tribute to. Have a little union of your own, and let that be the union of the wife you married, and the children she has borne for you. Pay your dues to that union, love, honor and protect its members, send your children to school, set them a good ex- ample by living a correct daily life, and try to equip them better in every way for the battle of life than you are equipped. Those who heed this admonition will never have cause to regret it. Respect Your Mother. Young man, the other day I heard you refer to your mother as “the old woman,” says Bert Walker, in the Kansas City Journal. Perhaps you did not mean it that way, but it sounded coarse and brutal. No true son refers to his mother as the ‘old woman” Quite likely she is old, and gray, and wrinkled, but it is also quite likely that some of those gray hairs and a few of those wrinkles were caused by the long vigils she put in at your bedside when fever and youthful ills were try- ing to claim you. Mother doesn’t like to be referred to as the old woman. It makes her feel as though she had run her race and was now only in the way. The world has no use for the boy who doesn’t reverence his mother. The man who loves and respects his mother has to be pretty mean before the coms= munity will go back on him altogether. The boy who sees to it that mother doesn’t have to bring in a bucket of coal or sweep the snow off the porch is doing more toward attracting the at- tention of the Lord than the man whe gives $1,000 toward building a new church. When she is gone, my boy, it will be a whole lot of satisfaction te you to know that you always spoke of her tenderly, and as “mother.”
