M. E. Pulpit Assignments for Som-
erset County—Conference
Scores Emery.
The Pittsburg conference of the M.
E. church closed at Butler, Pa., Mon-
day morning, the 8th inst. Lewis
Emery, Jr., Fusion candidate for Gov-
ernor, was denounced in a strong reso-
lution passed by the conference by a
vote of 122 to 45. Emery’s letter to
Editor Likins, of Uniontown, in which
he placed the church, the school and
the hospital on the same level, is more
than the church people are willing to
stand for, hence the strong resolution
against Emery by the M. E. conference
at Butler.
Following are the pulpit assignments
made by the conference for Somerset
county: Addison, A. XK. Travis; Ber-
lin, 8. W. Bryan, supply; Confluence,
Thomas Charlesworth ; Meyersdale, J.
W. Langdale ; Salisbury, L. Z. Robin-
son ; Somerset, J. M. Mason; Stoyes-
town, S. W. McCarkle. :
Lecture Course.
Arrangements have been completed
to give to the people of Salisbury a
strong lecture course during the winter.
Season tickets are now on sale. Con-
sidering the low price of seats and high
class talent offered, this course should
be well patronized. The purpose of this
course, to give the people of our town
something edifying and uplifting, is a
noble one, and should receive the help
of all our citizens. Let us support the
promoters of this movement. It is a
new departure along right lines, and
deserves the practical endorsement of
every lover of a clean, helpful enter-
tainment.
First number will be given Saturday
evening, Oct. 20, 1808. Frank Dixon
the great orator, opens the course.
Board for reserved seats opens at Mil-
ler’s drug store, Thursday evening, Oct.
18, 1906, at 6. p. m.

WHO'S THE COWARD?
The Man Who Openly Expresses His
Opinion, or the Sheak Who Hides
Behind a Fictitious Name?
Reply to a Graceless Sneak Who
vVilifies Others Under Cover,
Stabbing Them from Am-
bush, as it Were.
The following cowardly article ap-
peared in the Meyersdale Commercial
of Sept. 27th, 1906:
VACCINATING WITH A STILETTO.
“Pete” had a bad vaccination erup-
tion last week when after quoting all
the authorities from away back, he
showed the object in view by trying to
vaccinate Harvey Hay and Dr. Lichty
in their backs with a stiletto. “Pete”
should try and use only the truth and
give his readers a genuine surprise by
doing so.
One quotation in relation to the
smallpox scourge in Montreal in 1885
was downright prevarication if not out-
right as any person who lived in the
Province of Quebec during that period
well knows.
In that province the French have
ever been opposed to vaccination and
consequently the whole territory had
been for years, if not centuries, the hot
bed of smallpox and at the very least
over 50 per cent. of the population pre-
vious to 1885, were marked and dis-
figured. The English speaking inhabi-
tants who believed in vaccination and
practiced it were comparatively free
from the scourge. After the scourge
of 1885 the Dominion government took
up the matter and passed a vaccination
law and had it enforced; since the
Montreal and surrounding country ap-
pear to be as free from smallpox as any
portion of the United States.
Abuse of the whole body of reputable
physicians is not any argument what-
ever. If the anti-vaccinationists want
to have their argument of any force
they must come out in a square honor-
able manner, like the Rockwood Lead-
er and other reputable newspapers
have done, and not use their vaccina-
tion prejudices as a cloak under which
to stab the characters of persons
against whom they have 2 spite.
Far Pray.
We think Tre Star could readily
name the person who wrote the fore-
going cowardly letter, to which he
signed a fictitious name instead of his
real name. The clumsy and faulty
composition would indicate that it was
written by some bungling dope-dis-
penser who wears the title of M. D.,
and who would welcome a law that
would compel people to patronize him
whether they wanted to or not. But
that’s the way vaccination fanatics do
business, hence we are not surprised.
The communication should have
been signed “Foul Play,” for genuine
fair play is always carried on in an
open, manly manner, not under as-
sumed or fictitious names.
Fair Play, as the Commercial com-
municator calls himself, evidently did
not relish a truthful article that ap-
peared in THE STAR some time ago,
where it was published for all men to
read, open and above board. THE
Star’s article did not appear over a
fictitious name, but was given to the
world as the editor’s own production.
If Mr. “Fair Play” calls THE STARS
open course vaccinating in the back
with a stiletto, pray what should his
sneaking, ambushed course be called?
Oh, you graceless sneak, why do you
mask yourself with an assumed name
and keep under cover like a thief in
the night? Why do you strike from
ambush, like an assassin in the dark?
Come out from behind your nom de
plume and let the world know who you
are. Why should your identity be hid-
den if you speak the truth? °
The attack upon character which Mr.
“Fair Play” complains of, exists largely
in his fertile imagination, as that por-
tion of our former article to which he
refers to as “vaccinating Harvey Hay
and Dr. Lichty in the backs with a
stiletto,” was merely stating what we
believed to be their true position on
the vaccination question. At any rate,
if it can be called an attack on char-
acter, it cannot be truthfully referred
to as a stab in the back, for our state-
ment was made in the open, and not
over an assumed name, after the man-
ner of Mr. “Fair Play” and others who
do business from ambush.
Mr. “Fair Play’s” reference to the
great smallpox scourge in Montreal, in
1885, is about as thin as the balance of
his silly twaddle. He asserts that the
Province of Quebec, before a compul-
sory vaccination law was passed and
enforced, was for years, if not centuries,
the hotbed of smallpox, and that at
least 50 per cent. of the population
previous to 1885 were marked and dis-
figured.
How awful! The fact is that Mr.
“Fair Play’s” own silly statement is the
best proof of its falsity, yet it is just
the kind of a statement that certain
easy dupesswallow on blind faith, with-
out ever thinking of its.utter absurdity.
It seems strange indeed that Quebec
Province could have been the hotbed of
smallpox for years and for centuries,
and yet only 50 per cent. of ‘the people
get the disease in all those years. If
that province had been such a hotbed
of smallpox for all the years Mr. “Fair
Play” would have you believe it was,
practically the entire population would
have had smallpox long before the
year 1885, when by the aid of vaccina-
tion (legalized murder) the great
scourge at Montreal was brought about. |
In that year, by the damnable art of |
vaccination, when practically the
whole city was a reeking mass of vac-
cination scabs and corruption, small-
pox flourished as it never flourished
before. There has been comparatively
little smallpox in Montreal since 1885.
Why? Not because of vaccination, but
because nearly everybody there had
smallpox in 1885, when the vaccination
craze was at its height.
The people there have also hearned a
few things since 1885 in the matter of
clean living and other sanitary con-
ditions. Besides, there is a great dif-
ference in the modes of living of the
French and English people, and while
some nationalities are more subject to
smallpox than others, some others are
more subject to other maladies that
people who take smallpox readily. For
instance, take the American negro and
the American white man. The negro
is, as a rule, poorer than the white man,
hence is surrounded by more squalor
and filth. He also contracts smallpox
more readily than the white man, and
gets the disease much more severe.
As to the marking and disfiguring of
the French Canadians, there is no use
in referring to that. No use in going
that far away from home. Look at the
vaccinated victims of smallpox right
here in our own town. Their vaccina-.
tion neither kept them from getting
smallpox nor the marks thereof, while
neither John J. Livengood nor A. B.
Newman got the disease or its scars,
yet they nursed smallpox patients day
after day. Why did they not get the
disease? Simply because vaccination
did not take on them, and thus their
blood was in the best possible condition
to ward off the disease.
Mr. “Fair Play” even accuses us of
abusing the whole body of reputable
physicians. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. We are upholding the
reputable body of physicians, and from
the reputable body of physicians we
derive our anti-vaccination ideas. We
have been reading what the great and
scientific men in the medical profession
have said and written against vaccina-
tion, and we have also read what the
little quacks and fakirs in the profes-
sion have said in its favor. The little
fellows in the profession cannot see be-
yond their pocketbooks, while the big
fellows, who are called upon to help
compile cyclopedias and other scientific
works, can. We believe the big, brainy,
manly doctors in preference to the lit-
tle quacks and yelpers who yell for
more vaccination for the graft there is
in it.
If Mr. “Fair Play” is a physician, as
we have reason to believe, he should at
once leave his present company and
join the respectable body of physicians,
the men who scorn the idea of compul-
gory vaccination, who refuse to rob
people of their God-given liberty, and
who denounce vaccination as a crime,
which it is, and one of the most heinous
and cowardly kind.
And, finally, Mr. “Fair Play,” don’t
accuse us of stabbing in the back, but
come out and tell who you are. If you
insist on hiding behind an assumed
name, then change your name to “Foul
Play.” “Fair Play” never fights from
ambush.
We don’t believe in vaccination, but
if vaccination ought to be indulged in
at all, it should be done with a stiletto
or shotgun, and only practiced upon
those physicians who seek to make
vaccination compulsory. In that way
much good might result to the human
race, and a lot of quacks be buried in
the cemeteries where they bury most
of their mistakes.
DANGER FROM THE PLAGUE.
There's grave danger from the plague
of Coughs and Colds that areso preva-
lent, unless you take Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. Mrs. Geo. Walls, of Forest
City, Me., writes: “It’s a Godsend to
people living in climates where coughs
and colds prevail. I find it quickly
ends them.” It prevents Pneumonia,
cures LaGrippe, gives wonderful relief
in Asthma and Hay Fever, and makes
weak lungs strong enough to ward off
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. 50c.

News Concerning Western Friends.
In a business letter received several
days ago from our friend David H.
Kelso, of Carleton, Neb., Mr. Kelso
gives us the following news:
“Father has almost entirely lost his
mind. He is living with us. His gen-
eral health is pretty fair, considering
his age, but his mind is far from ra-
tional.”
“Mollie lives in Oklahoma City. She
had an operation for cancer, last spring,
having had her entire left breast re-
moved. So far the cancer shows no
sign of return, and she is feeling pretty
well. She spent two months with us,
this summer.”
“You ought to see Nebrsska now—
see what a change since you left. Land
$75 to $100 per acre, and the fine, large
houses and barns, with many fine,
modern houses in town. Farmers are
very prosperous—a big wheat crop and
a fine corn crop again this year. We
had wheat near town that went 454
bushels per acre. Just finished thresh-
ing on one of our farms. It made 324
bushels per acre.”
