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.

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.”
