HAVE YOU SENT
YOUR DOLLAR?
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.

Waray don’t the vaccination fanatics
enforce the vaccination law in its re-
lation to the Sunday schools. 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

What’s Fair for the Goose is Fair
for the Gander.
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.”

THE STRADDLER.

Extract from a Speech Delivered
by Congressman Solomon R.
Dresser, at Du Bois, Pa.
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.
