EpIitor Gror, of the Somerset Demo- | erat, in publishing an account of a shooting accident at Ellerslie, Md. says: “The ball struck the child in the left right side.” Little Aleck, as the editor of the Democrat is commonly called, is so badly twisted since trying to ride two political nags at once that he can’t tell a straight intelligible story about anything. —— Our present vaccination law was not passed at the instance or request of the rainy, reputable portion of the physi- cians of this commonwealth. but it was brought about by a rascally set of doc- tors who went «into politics and had themselves elected to the Legislature for purely selfish reasons, with graft for their profession as their chief aim. The law should be promptly repeald at the next session of the Legislature, and the only way to have it repealed is to vote fer candidates pledged to work for its repeal. A. W, Knepper and J ¥nisley have so pledged themselves, while their opponents, Harvey Hay and F. P. Saylor, have not. The duty of the anti-vaccinatiopist voter is plain. THERE is an idea prevalent among country people that the present move- ment for good roads is mainly further- ed by automobile owners, who are scheming to have the farmers pay for speedways for their machines. For the mistake involved in this idea the “dern fool” of the city who runs an automo- bile out into the country in such a way as to render travel by other legitimate methods unsafe is to blame. The trouble on the highway between horse and automobile is not because of the machine, but because of the man who operates it. It is the manner in which the machine is handled, and not the machine, that makes the automobile an obstacle to ood roads and causes dras- tic and really unfair legislation against those who use the machine properly and considerately.—American Farmer. SoME of the school teachers who are enforcing the vaccination of pupils throughout this state, say they are do- ing so because they fear they will be fined or sent to jail if they refuse to comply with the vaccination law. They are not in the least danger of be- ing fined or jailed, old Doc Dixon, the State Health Commissioner, to the contrary notwithstanding. The old bluffer has threatened teachers more than once who have the good principle and courage to ignore the outrageous | law, but the old public nuisance of a Commissioner knows better than to carry out his threat. The jails of Penn- sylvania wouldn’t hold half of the sen- sible teachers who ignore the obnox- ious and sinful vaccination law, and Dixon knows that a wholesale enforce- ment of his pet grafters’ law would bring about its speedy repeal and soon get him out of his fat office. Herod’s law to put male children to death wasn’t any more hideous than Penn- sylvania’s present vaccination law. and neither of them ever were worthy to be obeyed. Teacher's who fear being jailed if they refuse to comply with a child murder law for the benefit of the doctors, ought to be in jail. They would do the human race more good there than in the school rooms. A List of Prominent Anti-Vaeceina- tionists.—How Do They Compare for Brains With the Vacei- nation Fanatics You Know of?

Don’t snub a boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the in- ventor of the telephone, first entered Boston he wore a pair of yellow linen breeches, in the depth of winter. Don’t snub a boy because of the ig- norance of his parents. Shakespeare, the world’s poet, was the son of a man who was unable to write his own name. Don’t snub a boy because his home is plain and unpretentious. Abraham Lincoln's early home was a log cabin. _ Don’t snub a boy because he chooses a humble trade. The author of “Pil- grim’s Progress” was a tinker. Don’t snub a boy because of his physical disability. Milton was blind. | Don’t snub a boy because of dullness in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrat- ed painter and engraver, was a stupid boy at his books. Don’t snub a boy because he stutters. Demosthenes, the great orator of Greece, overcame a harsh and stam- mering voice. Don’t snub anyone. Not alone be- cause some day he may far outstrip you in the race of life, but because it is neither kind nor right nor Christian. —Ex. Lonely Spot. According to a news dispatch, a Jam- asica man was “stabbed in a lonely spot.” In the case of most men this would be where the conscience is supposed to be located. —Washington Post. VACCINATION CONDEMNED. Read What Some of the World's Most Scientific Men Have Said About it. E. M. Crookshank, M. D. M. R. C. 8,, Professor of Pathology and Bacterio- logy in King’s College, London, Eng- land.—"I maintain there is no scientific support for vaccination, and the prac- tice is destined to fall into desuetude. We have no known test by which we could possibly distinguish between a lymph which was harmless, and one which might be harmful to the extent of communicating syphilis.” Chas.'Creighton, M. D., M. A., Author of Article on Vaccination in Encyclo- pedia Britanica, IX Edition.—“The Anti-Vaccinationistg have knocked the bottom out of a grotesque superstition.” 8. M. Munn, Waterbury, Conn—"If medical men were made responsible W. | for ill effects. no physician would ever vaccinate.” Dr. A. Vogt, Prof. of Hygiene and Sanitary Statistics, Berne, Switzerland. —“After collecting the particulars of 400,000 cases of smallpox, I am com- pelled to admit that my belief in vac- cination is absolutely destroyed.” [Epitor’s Nore]. The people of Switzerland arose in their might and crushed out the serpent of “Vaccina- tion,” and they have less smallpox in that country now than when they in. dulged in vaccination. Alexander M. Ross, A. M.,, M. D,, F. R. 8.. Physician in Montreal, Canada. —*T know that 1,100 children under 12 years of age were vaccinated into smallpox and died from it during the epidemic of 1885, in Montreal. One thing is certain, thousands of children are killed annually by vaccination, or its after results, and these victims of medical ignorance and cupidity are the only persons, it can be asserted with truth, that vaccination protected from smallpox.” [EpiTor’s Note]. When vaccination kills, as it frequently does, it protects the victim from smallpox by removing him from the earth. The doctors alone are responsible for the great smallpox scourge in Montreal in 1885. The wholesale blood-poisoning of the people was solely responsible for the wholesale spread of the disease. But the doctors and the undertakers made a big harvest of money out of it. Alexander Wilder, M. D., Editor New York Medical Tribune, and Professor Physiology, United States Medical College, New York.—“A vaccinated people will always be a sickly people, short-lived and degenerate. Consump- tion follows in the footsteps of vaccina- tion as certainly and unequivocally as effect follows cause.” [Fprror’s Norel—Do you think it possible that the eminent medical men named in this article know less than the small-fry country physicians who here and there bob up and howl them- selves hoarse for vaccination, for no other reason than that it puts a few paltry, crime-stained dollars into their pockets? Your common sense ought to teach you better. The followin quotations, one from John Stuart Mill, the other from Dryden, are admirably applicable to the small-fry vaccination doctors and their dupes: “He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.” “Not only crowds, but. Sanhedrims may be infected with the public lu- nacy.” Vaccination must go, and the only way to wipe out the gigantic curse and outrage is to vote for law-makers who stand pledged to repeal compulsory vaccination laws. This can’t be done by voting for men like Harvey 309 for the Legislature, unless he declares himself for the repeal of the obnoxious law which all liberty-loving, manly Pennsylvanians ought to seek to bring about. Ask Mr. Hay where he stands on this question before giving him your vote. Any candidate who will not de- clare himself in the public prints as being in favor of the repeal of the com- pulsory vaccination law, is not worthy of your vote, no matter on what ticket he is running. Candidates Knepper and Endsley, on the Republican ticket, have so declared themselves in nearly all the newspapers of the county. Harvey Hay and Franklin P. Saylor have not so declared themselves, and it is not likely that Mr. Hay will, as he is a brother-in-law of Dr. A. M. Lichty, one of the most narrow-minded vac- cinationists (for revenue only) in the county. Besides, Harvey is holding a soft job as registrar of vital statistics ander old Doc Dixon, State Health Commissioner, who is a great vaccina- tion fanatic for the pecuniary benefit of the medical trust, the meanest, most oppressive and criminal trust in exist- ence. Dixon is a public nuisance, and the minions under him know it, but it is not to their financial interest to squeal. Miller Renominated for State Senator. Last Friday night the Republican conferees of the Somerset-Bedford-Ful- ton Senatorial district met at Hyndman to nominate a candidate for State Sen- ator. The candidates were Norman E. Berkey, of Somerset, Dr. W. C. Miller, of Bedford, and Peter Morton, of Ful- ton. Miller was nominated on the first ballot, the three conferees of Fulton county voting with the Bedford con- ferees for him. Consequence of a Rash Act. “Qur wife,” wrote the editor of the Spiketown Blizzard, “is sick from over- work. While she was snooping around our sanctum yesterday morning she found the office towel, and insisted on taking it home and washing it. Such a thing never happened before, and with the help of the Lord it shall never hap- pen again !"—Chicago Tribune. The Church on Emery. At the Erie conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal chureb, which closed its annual meeting this week at Meadville, the following was adopted as an amead- ment to the report on temperance: Resolved, That we denounce any party or man who places brewery,church and schoo¥ in the same category. In a letter to Editor Likins, of Union- .town, some weeks ago, Lewis Emery, Democratic nominee for wrote: However, had I been at home I would no have ,withheld my donation from thas brewery, no more than 1 would from the churches, schools and hospitals * * * I should have been derelict if I had no% come forward and done my part. The Erie conference represents cone of the largest church memberships in .- Northwestern Pennsylvania, embrae- ing an influential portion of the popo- -- lation. It will be noticed that the con- ference was careful to avoid partisen- ship and refrained from mention of Mr. Emery, preferring to confine its: record to an expression upon ihe . eral proposition in a dignified way ; bas - the meaning is plain. In this connection it is proper to di- rect attention to Mr. Emery’s recent diversion at Erie and Clarion, where he - urged women to take an interest im - politics. In the line of his plan to - peal to every possible element of : content with existing conditions, he has put himself on record in favor of woman suffrage, and he wants the women of the state to help him out. If there are any women who feel dis- - posed to join in his campaign it is to be hoped that they will not overlook his assertion that the brewery is on an equal plane with the church, the school ~ and the hospital. Outside the home - the foremost fields of endeavor, to - which women devote unselfish labors and for which they make many saeri- fices, are the churches, schools aud hospitals. Women are the very life- blood of the church, and without thems our hospitals would soon close down. What do they think of the theory of Mr. Emery that they should devote the same high service and the same hercie energy to the brewery?—Pittsburg " Gazette Times. Governor, Cleanliness and Vaccination. To the Editor of The North American. The letter on “Vaccination and Can- cer,” from Dr. M. R. Leverson, in to- day’s North American, recalls the as- sertion made by Humboldt nearly fifty years ago that “The practice of vacei- nation is dangerous to the race, by. causing degeneration.” 1t is remarkable that this grotesque: and even murderous superstition should continue to survive despite the growing intelligence of a progressive age. As stated in article on “What is Pure Lymph?’ In the March number of the Westminster Review, “If the - general public knew more about vae- - cination, and the wholesale trafficking . in disease whick is being carried on for the avowed purpose of protecting the public health, they would soon sweep _- the whole thing away, and place re-- liance on the only true ‘preventi medicine’—clean living.” ‘ The last considerable outbreak of -- smallpax in Pennsylvania originated in» close proximity to a vaccine farm, where it is the practice to inoculate - heifers hired in the neighborhood. How delightful it is to drink a cup of - milk obtained from a cow which has been duly immunized, and to dine om variolated veal, after spending an afs-- ternoon in poring over the pages of “The Jungle.” At one of the smallpox factories the virus is scraped off the corpses of ° calves, so that the sensibilities of the- members of the humane societies may not be wounded. So many people are more solicitous respecting cruelty to animals than cruelty to children. Porter F. Core. Philadelphia, July 17. Game and Fish Laws.
