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.

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.
A sweet breath adds to the joys of a
kiss. You wouldn’t want to kiss your
wife, mother or sweetheart with a bad
breath. You can’t have a sweet breath
without a healthy stomach. You can’t
have a healthy stomach without per-
fect digestion. There is only one rem-
edy that digests what you eat and
makes the breath as sweet as a rose—
and that remedy is KODOL FOR DYS-
PEPSIA, It is a relief for sour stom-
ach, palpitation of the heart, and other
ailments arising from disorder of the
stomach and digestion. Take a little
Kodol after your meals and see what it
will do for you. Sold by E. H. Mil-

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-
