The famous little pills.
Tre B. & O. will soon have four
tracks in operation between Pittsburg
and Connellsville, and at the present
rate of increase in traffic over the
Pittsburg division of said road, four
tracks will soon be necessary from
Connellsville to Cumberland. Not
many years ago there was only a single
B. & O. track between Pittsburg and
Cumberland. Republican prosperity
makes the commerce of our county get
a hump on.
THE new system of spelling to which
President Roosevelt has given his en-
dorsement, is, according to our way of
thinking, not destined to become popu-
lar or generally adopted. The old sys-
tem, with here and there a few slight
changes, is good enough and easy
enough. The new system, even should
it ever be generally adopted, will not
be a particle more easy for persons who
are naturally bad spellers than the old
system is. It will only add more bad
spellers to the already large army of
them, and, all things considered, we
think the new system should and will
be generally ignored. Away with it,
away with it!
er pg
As a rot-dispenser, the Philadelphia
North American is probably entitled to
first rank among American newspapers.
John Wanamaker, whose son is the
owner of the North American, aspires
to a seat in the United States Senate,
where all millionaires and trust mag-
nates like to be sent, because it puts
them in a position where they can
greatly enhance their own financial
interests. The Senate has long been
Wanamaker’s day dream, and any of-
fice-holder or politician of note in
Pennsylvania who refuses to wear one
of “Holy John’s” bargain counter col-
lars, or take orders from him, is im-
mediately singled out for a target on
which are trained the mud batteries of
the North American, a newspaper that
has degenerated from a reliable jour-
nal to a common scold, an arrant hypo-
crite and a vile sheet lost to all sense
of honor. During the past few days
the North American has been unjustly
and maliciously assailing Hon. J. A.
Berkey, Banking Commissioner of
Pennsylvania, and is absurdly laying
part of the blame for the recent failure
of the Philadelphia Real Estate Trust
Company to Mr. Berkey, alleging that
he has not had the bankrupt institution
examined for two years. The Wana-
maker sheet well knows that Mr. Ber-
key has been in office only a few days
over a year yet, but it evidently thinks
the people have forgotten when Mr.
Berkey was appointed, and it takes ad-
vantage of that erroneous idea to make
a big blow out of a failure that Mr.
Berkey is in no way to blame for. But
it’s any old thing to manufacture sen-
timent in favor of “Holy John,” in or-
der to get him into the Senate, where
we have too many rascally millionaires
and sham reformers now. If there are
any angels in Philadelphia, John Wan-
amaker is not one of them, and as be-
tween Wanamaker and Senator Pen-
rose, the latter has more honor in a
minute than the former has in a month.

The Story of Two Boys.
There are plenty of stories written
about boys’ schools, but a story of a
Catholic boys’ school is rather uncom-
mon. “The Three Wise Men,” by John
T. McIntyre in the September Me-
Clure’s, is full of humor and charm. In
this case it was not the Three Wise
Men who were the seekers, but two
desk-mates who had to write a prize
essay upon “the three greatest men in
the world.”
“We two's gotta win,” declares the
more confident of the two.
“How can we?” protests the other.
“We don’t know who the three greatest
men was.” .
“We can find out. We'll ask people.”
Accordingly they ask people, only to
arrive at the deeply philosophical con-
clusion that who the three gieatest
men were, depends on whom you ask.
Nevertheless, in the end, the two
boys won the prize. How they went
about it and how they pulled it through
is an amusing narrative, written with a
thorough understanding of a boy's
point of view.

SOMERSET COUNTY SOLID.
The Uniontown Standard declares
that the Meyersdale Commercial’s sup-
port of Emery is not backbone, but
spiteful opposition of the regular Re-
publican ticket.
Editor Sturgis is evidently not fa-
miliar with Editor Smith’s acrobatic
politics and his propensity for kicking.
Editor Smith wouldnt be “regular” if
he could. He loves to be independent
and to scrap with his contemporaries.
He likes them to know that he is still
an editor. Itis a common character-
istic of the Somerset county editors,
and likewise of the Somerset politicians,
Like Job’s war horse, they scent the
battle from afar, they snort and paw
the earth, fire and brimstone breathes
from their nostrils, and from their
mighty necks comes thunder sounds,
whence they are called the Frosty Sons
of Thunder.
Ever since the birth of the Ropubli-
can party, the Somerset Democrats
have been but a handful, and this fact
is responsible for the Republican fac-
tional quarrels in that county. The
opposition of the Democrats has not
been sufficient to keep the Republican
leaders busy, and they have occupied
all their spare time fighting among
themselves. The organs have followed
suit.
The Republicans, however, have not
always followed either. When they
come to the polls to vote, their native
common sense keeps them from aiding
and abetting the enemy. The Repuk-
lican ticket from top to bottom will
have a good substantial majority in
Somerset county, this fall, in spite of
its opposition within and without the
ranks.—Connellsville Courier.
The Courier has the situation sized
up about right, even though the Som-
erset Democrat proclaims from week to
week in its cheap, ready-made, syndi-
cate editorials that the Democrats and
Soreheads are bound to win in this
county. this fall. A few bull-frogs in a
puddle can make a terrible noise, and
so can a few loud-mouthed Democrats
and Soreheads. But, as heretofore, the
returns at the next election will show
that the wind-jambers always do their
electing before election day. The Re-
publicans do their’s when it comes to
voting.
Fusion Gets A Frost.
If the Emery notification meeting in
Pittsburg yesterday is an index of the
volume and earnestness of the Emery
movement in Pennsylvania, and this
inference is inevitable, it is evident
that the fusion boom was the biggest
when it was born; that all this brave
talk about smashing the Republican
“machine” is the windjamming of a
few disappointed and desperate poli-
ticians who seek under the cloak of re-
form to promote personal ambitions or
gratify private revenges, or both; and
that the Lincoln Republican party con-
sists of a bunch of bravely apparreled
and loud-mouthed generals with no
army.
Nor is there anything in Candidate
Emery’s speech of acceptance that is
calculated to arouse the enthusiasm of
the voters. The bugle call is lacking.
It was a dull deliverance dealing with
the past. The lives of men who have
long since left the stage of action, with
their sins of omission or commission,
are not a part of the present campaign.
Nothing is said against the present ad-
ministration of affairs, nothing against
the personnel of the Republican State
ticket. Candidate Emery admits that
he fought the Standard Oil Company,
and thus gained the reputation of be-
ing a reformer, because he was fighting
for his own personal interests, but he
insists that he was fighting the people’s
battle at the same time.
The fusion candidate concludes his
address with a parody on the Declara-
tion of Independence, which would
have been in questionable taste had it
been applicable to the present situa-
tion, but it is not. The Republican
party of Pennsylvania and the Nation
is accomplishing the reforms demanded
as fast as legislation and administra-
tion can do so. Fusion demands are a
little late. The field is already occu-
pied by active workers. Their work is
known to the people, and the latter will
no doubt be wise enough not to try to
break in a new force, now that reform
is progressing in a manner so satisfac-
tory.
Emery’s whole speech is amateurish
and arouses the painful suspicion that
he has been a wonderfully overrated
man. No wonder his reception was a
frost —Connellsville Courier.

Editor Baily’s Chickens.
The Democratic conferees of Blair
and Bedford counties met and nomina-
ted Joseph E. Thropp, of Bedford, for
Congress, before the conferees of Cam-
bria had yet been appointed. Editor
Baily, of the Johnstown Democrat, who
was the Cambria candidate, character-
ized Thropp as a disgruntled and dis-
credited Republican, a vice president
of the American Tariff League, and
hurls this defiance at the action of the
conference:
“In nominating the vice president of
the Protective Tariff League they have
with deliberation struck a blow at
William Jennings Bryan and his lead-
ership. They have swallowed whole
the political doctrines that democratic
Democrats everywhere repudiate. But
while the conferees from Bedford and
Blair counties have nominated Mr.
Thropp, they have not yet placed his
name on the ticket that “will be voted
in this county, and neither have they
elected him. ~ It has yet to be provem
that the Democrats of Cambria county
can be driven and bulldozed by Mr.
Thropp or purchased like shee by his
agents and delivered at the polls.’
Joseph E. Thropp was formerly a
candidate for favors on the Republican
ticket. So was Lewis Emery.
Thropp was elected once and defeat-
ed the other time. So was Emery.
Thropp finally turned to the Demo-
crats and sought their aid in getting
political office. So did Emery.
Thropp supported McKinley and
Roosevelt on a high protective tariff
platform, and opposed Bryan. So did
Emery.
Editor Bailey of the Johnstown Dem-
ocrat is supporting Lewis Emery for
Governor. Joseph Thropp is the same
sort of a disgruntled Republican that
Lewis Emery is.
The Democrats of the Cambria-Blair-
Bedford district evidently think that if
Editor Bailey can stomach Emery he
shouldn’t gag on Thropp.
Editor Bailey’s chickens are coming
home to roost.—Uniontown News
Standard.

To Which Class do You Belong?
The world bestows its big prizes in
money and in honors for but one thing
—initiative. What is initiative? It
consists in doing the right thing with-
out being told. The next best thing to
doing a thing without being told is to
do it when you are told once. Some
people never do a thing until they are
told twice; such get no honors and
small pay. Then there are those whe
do the right thing only when necessity
kicks them from behind. This class
spends most of its time polishing a
bench with a hard-luck story. Still,
lower down in the scale is the fellow
who will not do the right thing even
when someone goes along to show him
how, and stays to see that he does it:
he is always out of a job, and receives
only the contempt he deserves, unless
he has a rich pa, in which case destiny
patiently waits around the corner with
a stuffed club.—Elbert Hubbard.
Poison Found in Penny Candies.
Great care is advised in the purchase
of penny candies by children, because
of the recent disclosures made by
agents of the State Dairy and Food
Department. Analyses of numerous
samples of stick candy, fruit drops or
hard candy, butter and other taffies
and creams, show them to contain a
tremendous portion of deadly poison,
through the use of a patent bleacher
called avizol. The department is keep-
ing a strict lookout for compound in
candies, and candy manufacturers have
beed notified that they would have te
quit using it or go to jail.

How Dangerous.
“Ain’t you rather young to be left im
charge of a drug store |”
“Perhaps so, ma’am: what can I de
for you?”
“Do your employers know it is dang-
erous to leave a mere boy lige you im
charge of suco a place?”
“I am competent to serve you, ma’am,
if you will state your wants.”
“Don’t they know you might poison
someone?”
“There is no danger of that, madam;
what can I do for you?”
“I think I had better go to the store
down the street.”
“I can serve you just as well as they
can, and as cheaply.”
“Well, you may give me a 2-cent
stamp, but it don’t look right."—Ex.
