TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Re- publican in close touch, and work- ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscrip- tions of One Dollar each from Repub- licans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Cam- paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. SuErMAN, Chairman. P. O.

The law says Sunday school superintendents must not admit unvaccinated children to their schools, and the same is re- quired of parochial and private schools. Where is the Sunday school superin- tendent in all this broad land that would make an ass of himself by en- forcing a law so base and outrageous? Even old Doc. Dixon, the public nui- sance who presides over our State health department, knows better than to threaten Sunday school superintend- ents with arrest who ignore the per- nicious vaccination law. Such en- forcement would break up every Sun- day school in the country, and that would bring a mighty demand from all the churches for the immediate repeal of the most damnable and outrageous law ever placed on our statute books, where it was placed through and by the conniving of a lot of medical char- latans that ought to be in hades, ten thousand fathoms deep. Therefore, the Sunday school superintendents are allowed to ignore the law, and as a re- sult, every Sunday school in the state has a violator of the law to preside over it. The vaccination fanatics know that a great majority of the people would much rather keep their ehildren out of Sunday school than to have them vaccinated ; but when it comes to the public schools, quite a different proposition presents itself. To poor people who want to give their children a secular education, the public schools are a necessity. The Sunday school, however, where children are supposed to get religious and moral training, are not a necessity to that end, although they are generally supposed to be a great help. But after all, the best and most lasting moral and religious train- ing must come from the home, and if such training is not given there, the Sunday schools are at best a miserable failure in supplying the deficiency. Knowing these things, the vaccination fanatics do not attempt to enforce vac- cination in the Sunday schools, but they confine their energies to the pub- lic schools, where they can do much moretharm. However, little attention is paid to the vaccination law in the rural district schools, and it would be ignored to the same degree in the towns, were it not for the fact that medical charlatans or their servile dupes are frequently members of the town school boards, and they work their vaccination graft to the limit, and aim to employ only such school princi- pals as they can intimidate into bring- ing grist to the medical hopper. Down with such a vaccination law as Penn- sylvania has! It is an absurd mon- strosity. It makes outlaws of public school teachers and Sunday school su- perintendents who ignore it, and moral criminals of those who enforce it. In many cases, therefore, we have moral criminals and Herods presiding over our children in the public schools, and violators of the law presiding over them in the Sunday schools. Ye gods, what a spectacle! STARVING TO DEATH. Because her stomach was so weaken- ed by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair 8t., Columbus, O., was literally starving to death. She writes: “My stomach was so weak from useless drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bit- ters; with the wonderful result that improvement began at once,and a com- plete cure followed.” Best health Tonic on earth. 50c.

State Secretary of Agriculture Critch- field is out with another circular advo- cating more stringent laws governing the manufacture and sale of oleomar- garine. The Secretary is particularly anxious to have the coloring of oleo- margarine stopped, but he says not a word against the dishonest business of coloring dairy butter to improve its ap- pearance and make it more salable. What is fair for the goose ought to be fair for the gander, but it seems to make a difference whose ox is gored. THE STAR is not in the least in sym- pathy with the crusades made from time to time by the dairy interests against the manufacturers and sellers of oleomargarine. There is more dis- honesty and chicanery among the former class than among the latter, and it is neither right nor just to al- low dairymen to disguise their product by coloring substances and withhold the same privilege from the manufac- turers of oleomargarine. What we need is a law that will com- pel both classes to do business on the square. When a dairyman colors his butter with a foreign substance, he should be compelled to label it as so colored, and the same should be requir- ed of the manufacturer. of oleo. Both should be compelled to label their goods correctly, and also to use noth- ing for coloring matter that is injur- ious to the human system. Heavy penalties should be provided for using dangerous or poisonous coloring in- gredients or compounds used in their respective products. Furthermore, there should be no needless tax or license required for the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. There isn’t enough dairy butter manufactured in the United States to supply half of the people, and at least one-half of it that is manufactured isn’t half as good or as wholesome as oleomargarine, which is the poor man’s butter, and which should not be made nearly as expensive to the consumer as dairy butter by unjust legislative restrictions that give pro- tection to the dairymen that they are not entitled to. Good dairy butter will always bring a good price, and oleomargarine, al- though it were free, could not destroy the demand for good, honest dairy but- ter. No doubt the oleo brings down the price of poor dairy butter, and it ought to. In fact it ought to drive it entirely from the market, for nothing is much more detrimental to health than rancid, stinking cow butter, which is nothing more nor less than animal matter in a state of decomposition. Yet, how often is it sold at fancy prices because the manufacturers and retail- ers of cleomargarine are handicapped by unjust legislation that regulates its sale and bars it out of many of the smaller towns. In commenting on the butter color- ing habit, the American Farmer, of Indianapolis, Ind., makes the following sensible remarks: “The Chicago Woman’s club has un- dertaken the task of cultivating a taste for white butter and proposes to open a campaign for that purpose in the fall. The club was aroused to active warfare against colored butter by a newspaper article telling of the death of a farmer’s boy as the result of eating some of the dye with which the butter was being v colored at the farm. The truth is that the coloring of butter is a senseless custom, nothing but a fad or fashion, that has no basis in common sense. It is just as good when left uncolored, if it is right in other respects, and gains nothing by the coloring, except an im- aginary improvement in looks. If it gets its color naturally from the food of the cow, all right, but if, when churned, it is white, let it alone and use it that way. Of course, it will take some time to do away with the silly notion that butter is not good unless of a golden color, but in time even the stupidest may be taught better. But- ter should nat sail under false colors any more than people. Artificial col- oring is a fraud to start with, and by covering a poorer article with good looks as its only recommendation, en- courages that sham and false pretense which is all too common in commercidl transactions. Let us have whiter but- ter and whiter consciences.” WELL WORTH TRYING. W. H.

In an address delivered at Du Bois, Pa., Representative Solomon R. Dress- er, a neighbor of Lewis Emery, Jr., in the town of Bradford, took occasion to animadvert upon the Democratic can- didate for Governor in a kindly, yet critical sense. Congressman Dresser recently de- clined a renomination as Representa- tive from the Twenty-first Congression- al District of Pennsylvania, in order that he might withdraw from the strenuous demands of political life. Referring to Mr. Emery’s untenable attitude before the people, Mr. Dresser gave utterance to these incontrovert- ible assertions, viz.:— “I cannot, and I will not, encourage or assist in the election to any National or State office a man who tells us that he can consistently stand, at one and the same time, upon a Republican plat- form and a Democratic platform. Ne one can do this. I cannotand will not, then, support my neighbor, Lewis Emery, for the office of Governor of Pennsylvania. . It would be pleasant te do so as a neighborly act, but Mr. Emery is not a Republican; he is not a Democrat; he is not a Socialist; he is not a Prohibitionist. “He attempts to spread himself, hands and feet, upon the edges of the four platforms of these parties, and cannot possibly remain squarely upon any of them. His policy is to tear down, and not to build up, and if it should be the misfortune of Pennsylvania to have him for Gerernor, the people would soon re- gret it. He claims to be against the ‘bosses,’ and in this I think him sincere, for, in his judgment, all are bosses whe are not for Emery. Men who have had anything to do with Mr. Emery, either politically or in a business way, know, I believe, that he exacts for himself the right to be absolute boss and su- preme dictator.” AND SO SAY WE. The Fayette City Journal is not sur- prised at the Darwinian theory when it sees young men with their hair parted in the middle or hanging fiercely down over their foreheads, or frizzly-frowsy young women with hair flying in fifty different directions. And so say we—conditionally. Some men’s hair will part only in the middle, and especially is this the éase with mer who are bald on top of their heads. In cases where the hair will part nowhere else, parting it in the middle is justifi- able and excusable. But for some rea- son, you seldon, if ever, see a man of great ability or prominence that parts his hair that way, while the typical dude, the nonentity and disgusting “sissie” almost invariably do. Furthermore, it is almost an invari- able evidence of no brains when you see a young man with his hair combed down almost into his eyes and his hat tilted back to show his beautifully (?) combed locks, which almost completely hide his forehead—a forehead which usually isn’t very prominent, and the brain back of it not much better tham sawdust. Whenever a barber starts to comp our hair down over the forehead, we always feel like knocking him down. Sb Pg EB Ee oi
