Tae “Lincoln” delegates, self-ap- pointed and representing less than half the counties in the state, met in Phila- delphia, pulled down all their ticket save its head, and substituted the three men named by the Democrats, Black, Creasy and Green. The fusion ticket now consists of one high tariff Republican, Emery, and the three above named Bryan Democrats. Plat- form: We want the offices.—Union- town News Standard. For some time some thoughtless or malicious person or persons have been removing burrs from buggies and other vehicles about town, and as a result several horrible run-aways have been narrowly avoided. Any person mean enough to remove a burr from the wheel of a vehicle deserves being put to death, for the removal of a burr can easily be responsible for loss of life or great bodily injury to horses and peo- ple. Before stepping into a vehicle of any kind, it is always a good idea to first see whether the burrs are properly tightened, and fellows suspicioned of loosening or removing them should be watched, and if caught, they deserve being killed on the spot. ————————e We this week reprint from the Rockwood Leader a most sensible and timely article headed “Vaccination’s Threatened Recrudescence,” and every one of our readers ought to peruse it. It is one of the best articles dealing with a very bad law that we have seen in print for a long time, and we believe it voices the sentiment of a very large majority of the reasonable and honest people of this commonwealth. The writer of the article is not only editor of the Rockwood Leader, but he is also one of the ablest, most studious and up-to-date school directors in all Som- erset county. He is a thinker, a read- er and a close observer, and he has noticed the bad effect that Pennsyl- vania’s vaccination law has on our schools and our school children. If all school directors in the state were men of Editor U. 8. Werner’s intelligence and common sense, the medical quacks who croak and howl for the enforce- ment of the present vaccination law, we would not only have much better schools, but a whole lot of medical quacks and fanatics would be given a much needed rest. Furthermore, the coming generations would be a great improvement, mentally and physically, over the present race of puny, blood- poisoned, sore-eyed, half deaf, scrofu- lous, rotten-toothed, cancerous, tuber- culosis-infected degenerates who were made what they are largely through and by the loathsome, God-cursed vac- cination that purports to guard against smallpox, but in reality was never in- tended for any other purpose than to manufacture diseases whereby doctor- craft might flourish and become rich. Vote for no man for Legislative honors who will not openly declare himself in favor of the repeal of the compulsory vaccination law, As Viewed in Kansas. The editor of this dinky paper wishes sometimes he was rich. No, we only wish we were rich for about a week— just long enough to teach some rich people how to act toward less fortunate people, less fortunate in the matter of worldly possessions, we mean. As a matter of fact, inordinately rich people —the majority of them—have no sense at all. This is especially true of some man who has “struck it rich,” or the woman who has married to a bunch of money. It gives us infinite pain to witness the nauseating airs of these toads with the dollar mark sticking all over them. Gee whiz, it makes us riled to have some purse-proud monkey without brains enough to carry break- fast to a sick bear, put on highfalutin’ airs around us !—Concordia Kansan. A SWEET BREATH.

Take a little Kodol after your meals and see what it will do for you. Sold by E. H. Mil- THE ELK LICK DRUG STORE. ler. 8-1 For Once the Meyersdale Commer- cial Tells the Truth. The Meyersdale Commercial, which is one of the most unreliable and in- consistent papers we ever had any knowledge of, recently uttered the truth in commenting on the afficial career of Congressman A. F. Cooper. Following are its remarks: “The Commercial thinks our mem- ber of the House of Representatives, Hon. A. F. Cooper, did his whole duty during the session just closed. He voted right generally, and he did all he could for the old soldiers. This is due him, and we are pleased to say so.” So far, so good, but during the late Republican primary campaign, the Commercial stoutly opposed the nomi- nation of Hon. E. D. Miller in this county, alleging that if he carried this county he would throw off in the dis- trict conference in favor of Cooper, and thus give the nomination to Fay- ette’s candidate again. It therefore appears that the Commercial was will- ing to cast away a good man in order to land a disgusting, conceited and nar- row-minded little scrub like John Ogle, who sought Congressional honors be- cause his father and grandfather had been in Congress, and because he thought it would be a fine honor to come to his would-be aristocratic “niblets.” As for THE STAR, we shall be well satisfied with the nomination of either Miller or Cooper. If Mr. Miller can land the district nomination, good and well. But if he sees that he cannot land it, he could do nothing bet- ter for this congressional district than to throw his strength to Mr. Cooper, who has been tried and proved himself to be a good. able and conscientious representative for the whole district. Manly Utterances of Mr. Stuart, the Republican Candidate for Governor. In accepting the Republican nomi- nation for Governor of Pennsylvania, Mr. Edwin Stuart made a very able and manly speech. We have not the space to reproduce the entire speech, but following are some wholesome extracts from it: “I have not sought this nomination, and am free and unembarrassed by personal or political obligations.” “I would decline it if its acceptance implied any obligation that would not leave me absolutely free and untram- meled in the exercise of my judgment for the best interests of the whole peo- ple.” “I approve the party’s declaration of principles, and stand squarely on the platform.” “I am pledged to give the people ben- efits ef remediable legislation, to hold in check and control corporations, and to secure the equal rights of all.” “Great as have been the advantages to the people at large, we must not close our eyes nor dull our senses to the great injustice of corporate discrimi- nation.” “Transportation companies are com- mon carriers, and must be made to un- derstand that the people will not toler- ate an unjust discrimination which crushes competition. This iniquity must stop, and stop at once. A policy of absolute fairness to all must be es- tablished and maintained.” “Personal registration, primary elec- tion and corrupt practices laws shall not be abridged or altered in any way that will weaken their influence for honest, clean government.” “The Republican party is strong enough to deal with all questions af- fecting good government. No man or set of men should be permitted to stand in the way of good government.” “I do not desire an election that has any other meaning than the triumph of the principles of good government.” VACCINATION’S THREATENED RECRUDESCENCE. From the Rockwood Leader. It was a favorite theory of Horace Greeley’s that “To get rid of a bad law it is only necessary to enforce it.” Or- dinarily, no doubt, this is good theory, because it works out in practice— often with deserved vengeance upon the law-makers. But when a statute is enacted by an unthinking legislature, at the behest of a fanatic propaganda, which is palpably the true status of the present “vaccination law” in Pennsyl- vania, it should not be necessary to scourge the State from one end to the other with “vaccination” before the ob- noxious law can be repealed. Vaccination is dangerous to the health and life of the young. We know ‘this to be a fact, because medical re- ports and statistics furnish abundant and incontrovertible proofs. The ques- tion whether vaccination is really a preventative of smallpox does not enter into a discussion of “compulsory vac- cination.” Compulsory vaccination is, of course, & misnomer, because in all civilized countries the person of the individual is held to be sacred. An act of the legislature inflicting vaccination upon all or a portion of the citizens of any State would be instantly annulled by any court of justice, because such en- actment would be in contravention of one of the absolute rights of the indi- vidual—the liberty of his person. The legislature of Pennsylvania has not attempted to impose vaccination upon the citizens of the State directly, for the good reason that fundamental law stands in the way of such an atrocity. But in an unguarded in- terim the legislature capitulated to the vaccine quacks, and made “successful vaccination” an indispensable qualifi- cation for the admission of the chil- dren of the State into the publie schools. @ There are various grades of vaccina- tion advocates, ranging from the mild believers in its prophylactic virtues to the most rabid compulsionists, The aim of the “vaccination law” is to com- pel the parents of the State's children to inflict the barbarous treatment upon their innocent young offspring as the legal prerequisite to make them eligible for admission into the schools. Such a proposition is inherently and essential- ly infamous. The results of the law’s enforcement prove it to be nothing short of constructive assassination of innocent childhood. Yet the fanatics who, unfortunately, have been charged with the law’s enforcement show not the slightest signs of remorse over the havoc that has been wrought by it. Among these advocates there are doubtless many misguided altruists, but it is too much to believe that the insistent demands of the medical so- cieties for “compulsory vaccination”, are inspired by altruism alone. And above all other causes there is the fanaticism of the ultra-vaceination- ists. The world’s history proves that there is no cure for fanaticism but ab- solute suppression or extinction of the propaganda of fanatics. The inquisi- tions in the name of religion, the burn- ing of supposed witches and the ecru- sades of the Middle Ages furnish ir- refutable arguments in support of this view of fanatics in general. Granting that vaccination is a pre- ventive of smallpox, is it not the height of absurdity to attempt to inflict such a dangerous treatment upon a whole community when there is a total ab- sence of the disease in the neighbor- hood? The anti-toxin of diphtheria is known to be a valuable, though dan- gerous, treatment for that dreaded scourge of childhood. But who would think of administering the anti-toxin in the absence of the disease in the im- mediate family? The enforcement of the “vaccination law” in the past school year has work- ed more or less demoralization of the public school system throughout the entire State. In many districts entire schools were broken up, because the parents refused to have their children subjected to treatment by the deadly virus. Why should the school system of Pennsylvania, so excellent and ef- ficient, so munificently endowed by the State, be crippled by a fatuous attempt to inflict universal vaccination upon the rising generation? The treatment is dangerous, especially dangerous, and in hundreds of instances fatal, to the young. The courts have sustained the law prohibiting entrance of the unvaccin- ated children into the schools as a le- gitimate police regulation; but the courts held that when a child was re- fused admittance into school the com- pulsory-attendance law was necessarily put in abeyance, thereby annulling a good law by the enforcement of a vie- ious one. But in spite of all that has transpired, the fanatics show unmistakable symp- toms of recrudescence. The next Leg- islature will be importuned to meet the popular demand for the law’s re- peal with refusal. The duty of the Legislature is plain. It must repress the vaccination cranks summarily and finally. The repression must not only be effectual, but it must be exemplary. The obnoxious law must be repealed at once. A TRAGIC FINISH. A watchman’s neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which 8. child’s finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth McIver, of Vanceboro, Me., permitted a little cold to go un- noticed until a tragic finish was only averted by Dr. King’s New Discovery. He writes: “Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. King’s New Discovery saved my life.” Guar- anteed best cough and cold cure, at E. H.
