Cooper by the conferees of the Twenty-third Congressional District at Pittsburg, last week, the Gazette Times says: “The renomination of Congressman Allen Foster Cooper by the Republicans of the Twenty-third district is a rocog- nition of faithful services. Mr. Cooper has made an excellent record at Wash- ington. So long as men of this stamp are nominated there should be no doubt of the Republican majority in the next House of Representatives.” AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD. There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with-the- world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast. There is nothing so conducive to good work and good re- sults. The healthy man with a healthy mind and body is a better fellow, a bet- ter workman, a better citizen than the man or woman who is handicapped by some disability, however slight. A slight disorder of the stomach will de- range your body, your thoughts and your disposition. Get away from the morbidness and the blues. Keep your stomach in tune and both your brain and body will respond. Little indis- cretions of overeating can be easily corrected, and you will be surprised to see how much better man you are.

The Democratic Congressional con- ference for this district, met in Pitts- burg, last Saturday, and nominated Captain Ernest O. Kooser, of Somerset, to enter the race for Congress against A. F. Cooper. Personally, Mr. Kooser is a first rate fellow, but his politics do not suit this great industrial district. President Roosevelt needs a Republi- can Congress to carry out the great reforms he has inaugurated, hence a vote for Kooser would be a vote against the welfare of the country. —— THE TROLLEY. Engineers Busy Making Final Sur- veys—Hiteh With Salisbury Council. The trolley line people have asked our borough “dads” for a new franchise, and a new franchise has been granted ; but it contains some requirements so unreasonable that no sane set of busi- ness men would comply with. There- fore, the franchise will not be accept- ed, and it may be that the road will be built only to the north boundary of the borough. The road will surely not en- ter the borough unless the Council here acts as sensibly and as reasonable as the Meyersdale Council has acted with the company. We do not care to point out the com- pany’s objections to the franchise, for the Council knows them, and the mem- bers of that honorable body should de- cide to use common sense if they want the road to enter the town. The com- gany is willing to do anything within the bounds of reason and fairness. but is not willing to be squeezed. MEANS MUCH.

Do not Endanger the Congressional Ticket by Split- ting Your Vote. Labor’s Interest is Centered in the Success of the Regular Ticket to Insure the Return of our Congres- sional Friends. From the Journal of the Knights of Labor, The howl of the enemy under the la- bel of reform, for the removal of Chair- man W. R. Andrews as Director-Gen- eral of the State Committee, is made to enable those making it to more easily bolt the ticket. It would make no difference who succeeded Mr. An- drews ag Chairman of the State Com- mittee. There would always be those who could not be satisfied and who would still be urging a change. The coming fall election is National as well as State, as an entirely new Congress will be voted for; and from a National standpoint, labor has a direct interest in the re-election of those men who are friendly to it. Pennsylvania has a number of staunch friends of la- bor, and the workingmen who will stop to examine the record of those listed on page 9 of this paper, cannot in jus- tice to themselves, or to the cause, take any chances of defeating them by sup- porting or helping along a fusion move- ment, particularly since it is composed of such labor haters as Ex-Judge Gor- don. The scheme of fusion is not reform. It is a movement composed of factions, who could not, from the inside, control the party, and therefore left it for the party’s good ; a class of men who can- not be satisfied, no matter what con- cessions were made to them; and in order to make a show of keeping to- gether, they line up with the Demo- crats and hope by the combination to influence votes enough to land a few offices ; then sue the party for terms to compel recognition. It is a well known fact that Republicans and Democrats can not mix in Pennsylvania, their principles are not at all alike, and if they are successful in securing a num- ber of offices, a split over the spoils will be sure to follow. The scheme of fusion is the last desperate attempt of some renegade Republicans to procure office and establish a' standing, with the assistance of the Democrats of the State. If we should, even in the slightest degree, help them, the chances of losing some friendly member of Con- gress would increase, and we would be- come the injured party. We do not know the regular party candidate, Mr. Stuart, but newspaper reports claiming to represent the views of all parties represent him to be a man of excellent standing and of the high- est character, that would give the State an honest administration. No one has yet, so far as we have been able to learn, dared to attack his honesty or integrity, not even a fusionist ; yet they have joined forces with the Democrats in order to make his defeat possible. Not being able to find a flaw in his past record, they change their tactics and vent their spleen on the Chaifman of the Committee, Hon. W. R. Andrews, in an effort to force him to resign from the position. Would his resignation quiet this gang, and cause them to sup- port loyally the regular ticket? We venture the opinion that they would then hunt up another excuse to enable them to continue their bolt, and would keep making excuses until election day, when they would vote against the one man they all admit has the quali- fications necessary to make a good Governor. W. R. Andrews is labor’s friend. A union man himself, he has never for- gotten its underlying principle. He is so situated in Washington, as Secre- tary for the Senate Committee on Postoffices and Postroads, that he has many opportunities to do labor a friendly turn, and what is better still, his office is always open, and his advice and counsel freely given. The work- ingmen of Pennsylvania in particular, and the United States in general, have no better friend than Mr. Andrews. Being a practical every-day man, he knows the needs of the people, and has the ability and intelligence to use this knowledge in their interest as oppor- tunity offers. This is the man the ren- egade Republicans now say should re- sign the chairmanship of the State Committee in order to hold them in line with the party and induce them to vote for the man they all admit is ‘honest and worthy of their support. What a farce this catering to the enemy hes come to be. If these would- be rulers are not satisfied with the ma- jority management, let them go over to their Democratic allies, where we as- sure them they will get no better treatment, for the members of that party have no use for bolters. There are Republican Congressmen in that State whose labor record is such as to command the approval of every work- ingman in their District, and their vote for re-election will be large enough to carry the balance of the State ticket through. There is no need of catering to the cabal, who if left to themselves, will [tear each other's character to pieces, in order to become leaders ; and then their ability to create further trouble will end. ee Fall Term Opening.

The Meyersdale Commercial, one of’ Somerset county’s Orphan organs, con- tains this rather startling editorial par- agraph: . Colonel Thompson, candidate for State Senator in the Fayette district, says in a card over his signature: “I will not vote for Boss Penrose’s reelec- tion to the U. 8. Senate.” Evidently the Thompsons have not forgotten the brutal treatment Boss Penrose accord- ed them at the last State Convention. We do not know any “Colonel” Thompson in Fayette county. If Ed- itor Smith refers to Fayette county’s candidate for Governor in the late Re- publican State Convention, we beg to inform him that that candidate’s name is plain “Jo” Thompson, being short for Josiah Vankirk Thompson. Furthermore, if “Jo” Thompson is a candidate for State Senator in this dis- trict, he has not disclosed the fact to the public. The Republican nominee for that office is William Evans Crow. His hosts of Fayette county friends usually call him “Billy,” and when it comes to politics or any other matter wherein they can serve him, they are always solid for “Billy,” because “Billy” is always solid for his friends. “Billy” will be the next State Senator from this district, and if Senator Penrose receives the Republican caucus nomi- nation for United States Senator, Sena- tor Crow will undoubtedly vote for him. “Billy” recognizes the value of organization, respects the right of the majority to rule, and is never a kicker or a disorganizer. In the meantime, it is up to Editor Smith to explain where and when and how he got his authority for making the above statement.—Connellsville Courier. THE END OF THE WORLD of troubles that robbed E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Ia., of all usefulness, came when he began taking Electric Bitters.

The Merchants Coal Company, at Boswell, is asking for bids on brick, ete., to be used in making a new open- ing into its 14,000 acres of valuable mineral around the thriving new min- ing town. The new opening will be not far from the United Coal Com- pany’s plant, four miles from Boswell. Later on two or three more openings will be driven into the coal. About all the available coal land in Somerset county is under lease, with the exception of a few blocks here and there. The demand for fuel is very brisk, and there hasn’t been a whisper of car scarcity since the Interstate Commission’s inquiry. New towns are springing up as if by magic between Johnstown and Somerset. This pros- perity has reached the farmers and truck gardeners of Northern Somerset, for while these men formerly took all their produce to Johnstown, they can now dispose of their goods in mining towns much nearer home, so that what stuff they cart to Johnstown brings high prices, says the Connellsville Courier. A MYSTERY SOLVED. “How to keep off periodic attacks of biliousness and habitual constipation was a mystery that Dr. King’s New Life Pills solved for me,” writes John N. Pleasant, of Magnolia, Ind.
