Well, he has the hard- est job of anyone we ever studied.

In our town, where we have the best of stores, the most honorable of merchants, and where goods are sold at a margin so small as only to afford a respectable living to our business men, thousands of dollars are annually sent to the department stores of our great cities. Farmers expect our merchants to pay them a fancy price for butter, eggs and poultry, for their pumpkins, potatoes, apples and toma- toes, and then they take the money re- ceived from our home merchants and send it to a city departmant store. There is neither economy nor honor in such a manner of doing business. You can write it down in your hat, that as a rule, the city department store is a swindle. Our citizens who patronize them should be compelled to ship their butter and eggs to them. There is not a business man in our town who will not duplicate their prices for the same quality of goods, and he who turns down his home merchants to patronize these fakirs, is far from being a loyal, patriotic and good citizen.—Lanark (I11.)

On Monday some person Or persons broke into the yellow house, about a half-mile north of Salisbury, and rob- bed some of the trolley graders of their money. A lot of Italians bunk and board themselves in the said house, and while they were all at work, Mon- day, the robbery was committed. One man was robbed of $50, another of $25, one of $10, and so on. The thief or thieves secured about $100 in all. As we go to press, no arrests are yet reported, but we understand that cer- tain persons are under suspicion. a. THE BREATH OF LIFE.

Word comes to us by a half-dozen or more persons, that Tommie Titmouse Gurley, who is said to conduct a little blackjack and steel-knuckle store in Meyersdale, declares that he would come up here and give the editor of Trae STAR a thorough licking, if he only thought that he was man enough. Well, we hope somebody will con- vince the dear little girlie that it really is man enough to do as it desires. We haven’t smashed an insect or a microbe for some weeks, and we’d just like to send a little pug-nosed monstrosity to Meyersdale in a wooden box. Tommie, come forth from your black- jack store. Come forth for a swim in editor’s gore. Come forth with a whoop, a yell and a roar, then quickly you’ll fly through our window or door, and the folks who buy at the Blackjack store will see little Tom in that store Lineoln (?) Party Convention. SomEeRsET, Pa. Sept. 18, 1906. The Scullocrats tried to hold a Lin- coln party convention in the G. A. R. hall, at 1:30 o'clock, last Saturday. After barring reporters and all who did not worship at their feet, they locked the door and held a strictly star cham- ber session, endorsing every Democratic candidate. O. P. Shaver, of Friedens, presided, and John R. Scott and J. C. Lowry acted as secretaries. Scott averred at the last Republican primary that he was a Republican, while Lowry was at last accounts chairman of the Orphans’ party. The mystery of the whole shooting match is to know how they secured possession of the Grand Army hall, since two of the trustees, Henry F. Knepper and John Pugh, had never been approached on the ques- tion, did not know one was being held, and state that if approached they would have turned the proposition flatter than a pancake. The other trustee, A. C. Davis, could not be seen, bet even though he consented, that would only be one of three, less than a majority. Warrants for trespass may issue at a later day. The only member of R. P. Cummins Post, No. 210, G. A. R., present, was the Right Rev. Frank- lin Pierce Saylor, Esq., who was there to shout for himself as the Fusion can- didate for legislative honors. In the midst of all this, none of the parties who pre-empted the Lincoln party a few weeks ago were in attendance at the so-called convention, not one of them knew that a convention of any kind was being held, and not one of them are in sympathy in any way with the ticket nominated, but all are loud in denunciation of it from A to Z. There were 27 soreheads there, aside from the Somerset malcontents. Tak- ing it all in all, it was a sad bunch of soreheads. The five who pre-empted the column a few weeks ago refuse to recognize this as the Lincoln party convention, and insist that they will hold a convention of their own in a few days and nominate a ticket in full sym- pathy with the parties who fathered the Lincoln Party in the pre-emption of the column. They feel that they have drawn first blood by the decision of Secretary of the Commonwealth Robert McAfee, in the Washington county case, namely, that where two bodies claim to represent the same po- litical party, the one first on record as such shall at all times have priority. THE COUNTRY PRESS. Reformer Emery has become so ac- customed to calling everybody opposed to him members of “the corrupt gang” that he has finally included in the cat- egory the country press of Pennsylva- nia. If there is any influence in politics that is less susceptible to bribery or intimidation, it is the country press: The country editor leads the simple life. His wants are not many. After the printers and the paper bill is paid, he is satisfied if there is enough left for tobies and the other trifling necessaries of life. He is willing to sell his space to legitimate advertisers at low rates, but his absolute freedom of editorial speech is rarely for sale at any price. The country press is the bulwark of the nation. Politicians can neither buy ror muzzle nor bulldoze it. Re- peated attempts have proven flat fail- ures. Neither is the country press so stupid as to be deceived by profession- al reformers of the Emery stripe, and it can always be depended upon to en- lighten its constituency. Reckless Louis is nearing an igno- minious finish, says the Connellsville Courier. “prohibs’’ Put Straight Ticket in the Field. The Prohibitionists of Somerset coun- ty held their county convention last Thursday, at Somerset, when a straight Prohibition ticket was put in the field, notwithstanding the bait held out to them by the Democrats and Fusionists in placing C. Wesley Landis, a Broth- ersvalley Prohibitionist on their ticket for Poor Director. The convention througho:=t was Laormonious in every respect, and the cold water party goes before the people with candidates who favor the abolition of the rum traffic. Following is the ticket nominated: Assembly—A. B. Sellers, Somerset borough, and Samuel G. Shaffer, Que- mahoning township. Jury Commissioner—Adam G. Berke- bile, Somerset borough. Poor Director—C. Wesley Landis, Brothersvalley township. Fred Groff, of Berlin, was elected County Chairman for the ensuing year. J. B. Landis, of Berlin, was chosen Sec- retary of the County Committee, and Galen K. Walker, also of Berlin, Treas- urer. The Prohibitionists have refused to be sidetracked in their efforts for re- form along the lines set forth in their platform, and have named straight Prohibitionists on their State, Con- gressional, Senatorial, Legislative and County tickets.
