PROMISES AGAINST FACTS.
How Emery Treated the Demands
of Laboring Men When He was
a Member of the Legislature.
Webster defines as a demagogue “one
who attempts to control the multitude
by specious or deceitful arts.” ,
This type is rampant in Pennsylvania
during the present campaign. Its
highest exponent is Lewis Emery, Jr.,
candidate for Governor. During the
past week Mr. Emery has been in the
hardecoal regions talking to the voters.
He has told them voluminously of his
personal business affairs, but little of
his attitude toward the workingman of
Pennsylvania. Vociferously and un-
truthfully he has declared that under
Republican rule the “hospitals have
been neglected.
Here are some things Mr. Emery for-
got to say: —
As a member of the State Legislature
he twice voted against the bill to es-
tablish a State hospital for injured
miners of Schuylkill, Luzerne, Lacka-
wanna, Carbon, Northumberland, Co-
lumbia and Dauphin counties.
He opposed a-bill to provide for the
conveyance of injured miners to their
homes.
He refused to vote State aid for the
destitute sick of Plymouth, Luzerne
county, during an epidemic.
He refused to vote for a bill to es-
tablish a home for the disabled and
indigent soldiers and sailors of Penn-
sylvania.
He opposed the erection in 1887 of a
State hospital for miners at Hazelton.
Labor was interested deeply in all of
these worthy projects. But Mr. Emery
went further. . He did not vote for the
Mechanics’ Lien law. He dodged =a
vote on the bill to protect the wages of
servants, laborers, mechanics and
clerks. Again he failed to vote for a
bill to secure the health and safety of
persons employed in bituminous mines
of Pennsylvania.
When the bill requiring the furnish-
ing of props and timbers to miners was
before the Senate, he was not the friend
of labor.
He voted against the bill to abolish
the company stores in Pennsylvania.
These things are matters of record
and can be easily proven. Can Mr.
Emery, with such a record, consistently
ask the support of the workingmen of
Pennsylvania? Will organized labor
permit its ears to be tickled with the
fulsome promises of an office-hungry
man, and totally forget what this same
man did when in power?
Of what value are promises when the
record tells another story?
President Gompers, John Mitchell
and other leaders of labor are appeal-
ing to the workingmen to stand by
their friends? Can they or any of the
grand army of toilers expect anything
from a man who was either hostile or
indifferent when labor was asking for
help and he could have given it?
THE CHARM OF A CLEAR COM-
PLEXION.
Nothing lends more to personal at-
tractiveness than the clear skin and
fresh rosy complexion that comes to
those who use Laxakola tablets. 25
cents, a guaranteed cure for sallow-
ness and constipation. E. H. Miller.

POSTOFFICE MATTERS.
Commercial Makes Lying Charges.
The Meyersdale Commercial last
week made a vicious attack on Con-
gressman Cooper and the editor of this
paper. It accused Cooper of using the
federal patronage at his disposal as
political merchandise. The cherge is
unjust and false, but it reminds us that
the Commercial served notice on Con-
gressman Cooper early last spring,
through its columns, that he could not
expect much aid from Somerset county
toward a renomination and election
unless he recommended certain of the
Commercial’s friends for postoffice ap-
pointments that were about due. But
Mr. Cooper refused to peddle out jobs
to gain favor with the Commercial, and
now that paper is very sore. after ad-
mitting several months ago that Con-
gressman Cooper’s official record was
very good, that he always voted on the
right side of all measures introduced
in Congress, that he stood loyally by
the President, that he was a good friend
to and greatly helped the old soldiers,
ete.
The Commercial also alleged in its
issue of last week that the postmaster
at Elk Lick had been asked for his
resignation, owing to alleged attacks
made through his newspaper upon men
of the highest standing and ladies of
unimpeachable character. We willdefy
the Commercial to name a single in-
stance where this paper ever made an
attack upon a lady of unimpeachable
character. As to attacks upon men,
we have made some against those .who
want topose as men of the highest
standing, but who in reality are only
common frauds and hypocrites.
As to our resignation as postmaster,
we are willing to make oath that we
have never been asked for a resignation,
either by the Postoffice Department or
by Congressman Cooper, and that’s all
there is to it. Guess again, Lucifer

STUART SCORES IN
SCHOOL TAX ISSUE
Would Further Reiieve Local Taxa-
tion Burdens From State
Revenues.
IS A POPULAR PROPOSITION
Rennsylvania Has Been Most Liberal
In General Appropriations For Edu.
cational Purposes.
The ringing declarations of Edwin
S. Stuart, Republican nominee for Gov-
ernor, in favor of the enactment of
legislation to abolish local taxation for
public school purposes and in favor of
giving greater state aid for the build-
ing of good roads and for charitable
purposes, have met with popular favor.
His statement made in Jefferson
county that he is opposed to the car-
rying of a large surplus in the state
treasury has also resulted in expres-
sions of approval in many quarters.
Candidate Stuart's views regarding
the school tax are especially pleasing
to the members of the Pennsylvania
State Association for the Abolition of
the School Tax. -
Theodore P. Rynder, secrstary of
this organization, says:
“We have an organization extend-
ing over the state having for its pur-
pose the abolition of the school tax
on real estate thereby relleving espe-
cially small farmers amd city home
owners of their heaviest tax burden
and establishing the principle that
public revenues must pay for the pub-
lic education.
“The organization is known as the
Pennsylvania State Association for the
Abolition of the School Tax.
“Jt has a large number of clubs in
various sections of the state. It has
the support of some held-over sena-
tors. It has many candidates for as-
sembly pledged to the measure.
“Candidate Stuart has indorsed it in
at least two public speeches.
“The measure we propose would en-
able Pennsylvania to go on with its
great system of education and give to
avery child within the commonwealth
its just dues—an education that would
fit it for the battle of life. It would
solve the problem of adequate wages
for teachers and adequate schools for
pupils.
An Abundance of State Revenue.
“The only question ever raised has
been whether the state has the finan-
cial means to do it. As briefly as may
be, let me answer that question.
“The total cost for the whole state
of teachers’ wages, text books and
supplies for last year was $15,537,020.
“To meet that bill the state now
has a surplus of over $11,250,000,
which by the beginning of the next
fiscal year will reach at least $16,750,-
000. Then there can be added to this
the $4,500,000 of annual current in-
come, which during the last two years
has been applied to equipping our
new capitol, as well as some addi-
tional amounts that went into con-
struction, and also the amount here
tofore appropriated for the sinking
fund. This $11,250,000 surplus, plus
$5.500,000 regular school appropria-
tion, plus $4,500,000 new capitol ex-
penditures, will give us $21,250,000
with which to pay the $15,537,020 of
teachers’ wages, text books and sup-
plies, and leave $6,000,000 and all in-
terest and additional revenues to be
added to apply to the ordinary ex-
penses.
“There are abundant sources of
new revenue justly used in other
states that can be availed of by the
next legislature should any new reve-
nue be needed.
“Mr. Stuart’s pronounced stand on
this issue will, in the event of his
election, enable the state to take this
great advance step in public education
and make Pennsylvania the leader in
intelligence, as she is in material
prosperity.”
What Counties Got Last Year.
While Mr. Stuart is advocating
further relief of local taxation from
the general revenues of the state, he
does not overlook the fact that enor-
mous sums are now being paid an-
nually from the state treasury to the
several counties for public school pur-
poses.
The records of the state treasury
show that $7,832,350, mainly collected
by the state in taxes from corporations,
was paid to the several counties during |
the year 1905.
Pennsylvania Leads the Way.
Pennsylvania has, without question, |
the best public school system in the
world.
No state in the Union appropriates
anything like the sum of money which |
is annually set aside by this common- |
wealth for the maintenance and de-
velopment of the free schools. No
state makes anything like the liberal
provisions made by Pennsylvania for
the education and training of teachers
and the conduct of state normal
schools and township high schools.
The cause of popular education has
ever heen fostered by the Republican
party, and that party has been instru-
mental in the passage through the
legislature of laws which have served
to strengthen and to upbuild the mag-
pificent free school systema which has
been the subject of universal com-
mendation.
The highest amount ever appro
priated by the Democratic party for
the public schools of Penrftylvania was
$280,000 per annum, from 1857 to
1860.
From that period there has been a
steady and permanent increase in the
annual appropriations for public
schools, until in 1905 there was paid
out a total of $8,600,264 for educa
tional purposes, or over 35 per cent. of
the entire revenue of the commom-
wealth.
This includes appropriations made
to the support of the soldiers’ orphans’
schools, the county superintendents,
the Department of Public Instruction,
and for normal schools and township
high schools.
Keynote of Taxation Reform.
Mr. Stuart certainly sounded the
keynote for taxation reform when he
declared that the time had come when
the state could accept the policy of
speedily relieving farms and homes
of the state from all taxation for the
support of schools, and ultimately lead
to the relief of farms and homes from
taxation for the support of our chief
highways.
This declaration of the Republican
candidate for Governor is not a mere
eampaign invention.
It is in complete accord with the
policy of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania, that now assumes a
large portion of the burden of sus-
taining the schools, for which we éx-
pend many millions annually in state
appropriations, and the last legisla
ture inaugurated the policy of placing
the chief highways of the state under
the care of the commonwealth, to be
improved by direct appropriations
from the treasury.
Protecting the Farmer.
Not only is this policy of relieving
our farms and homes from taxation
for schools and roads in accord with
the declared policy of the party, but
it is founded on the soundest princi
ples of just taxation. Our farms and
homes are less productive to their
owners than any other channel from
which the state draws its revenues. If
was necessary to tax them for the
support of the state many years ago,
when there were few other sources of
revenue, but when the Republican
party came into power in 1860, it gave
generous encouragement to capital
and energy to develop our hiddes
wealth, and under that policy, with
corporate enterprises now reschinl
into almost every community of thd
state, usually realizing profits vastly
in excess of the prefits of the farm
and homes, every comsideratien of
justice calls for the gradual aol early
release of farms and homes from thé
support of the schools and the improve.
ment of our chief roads.
The Republican party inaugurated
that policy a generation ago when the
state was yet largely in debt, by re
leasing the farms and homes of thd
state from taxation for state purposes,
and has consistently followed that pol
icy by steadily increasing appropria:
tions to schools, and thus lessening
local taxation for that purpose, and
now has established the policy of im:
proving our highways by direct appro
priations from the treasury.
Corporations have not only larged
profits, as a rule, than are realized
from farms and homes, but they have
special privileges in their franchises
limiting their liabilities for debts im
case of failure, and in many othet
ways simplifying their business af
fairs, while the farmer and all private
citizens are responsible for the last
dollar of debt they may incur.
Under Republican rule the entire
debt of the state has been paid, with
equal, or quite and possibly more than,
the amount of the principal paid in
interest, as the interest for many
years exceeded two millions of dollars
annually. Thus, we have drawn from
the revenues of the state nearly eighty
millions to liquidate our debt. We
have state asylums for the insane in
every section of the state, with homes
for the helpless, reformatories for vi
cious youth and hospitals founded
chiefly by state appropriations in many
of the inland cities and leading towns
of the commonwealth.
A Proud Republican Record.
The Republican party in Pennsyl
vania has emphasized the patriotic
and philanthropic aims of its people
by expending many millions for the
support of the orphans of soldiers
who gave their lives in the terrible
struggle for the maintenance of the
Union and it has made the school
system the grandest and most benefi-
cient to be found in amy state or
country of the world.
In addition to vast expenditures in
the payment of the public debt, in the
construction of asylums and homes and
hospitals, in the education and care of
| the orphans of the soldiers, in the ad-
vancement of our school system,
which is accepted by all as the grand-
est in the country, Pennsylvania under
epublican rule has a surplus of many
millions in the treasury; and with all
the extraordinary expenditures paid
and the steady increase in the reve-
nues of the state, the time has come
when the Republican candidate for
Governor can well declare to the peo-
ple of the state that the homes and
farms shall be speedily relieved from
taxation for schools and ultimately for
the construction of our chief high-
ways.
Every consideration of justice in
taxation demands it, and the policy
of the Republican psrty has made it
possible to bring this great reform ia
our tax system to its grand consum-
mation.
A North Dakota Wave.
Zion, N. D., Oct. 22nd, 1906.
Epitor Star :—While the frost is on
your pumpkins, and your corn is in the
shock, our grain is nicely garnered,
and some money in the “sock.” The
other week when that cold wave from
the north swept down over the Eastern
and Middle states, precipitating snow
frow 10 to 20 inches deep in some lo-
calities, we here had but a slight side
issue of wind, but sunshine, and the
threshing machines were just winding
up the season’s work.
This year we got our grain harvested
and threshed without any rain, so that
the quality is No. 1. all around. We
got done threshing about 15 to 20 days
earlier than last year. Just now the
farmers are pushing their fall plowing
with all might, some few are done. I
finished mine last week, and have 180
acres ready plowed to begin work on
next spring as quickly as the frost will
be sufficiently out of the ground. We
had an exceptionally fine summer and
fall. The mean temperature was above
normal conditions most of the time.
This year I had no large crop out, still,
I got 1800 bushels of wheat, nearly 700
bushels of oats, and over 500 bushels of
flax. Most wheat yielded about 17
bushels per acre, oats 40 to 50, flax 10
to 15 bushels. Now and then a field
yielded a one-fourth more.
Real estate is selling at good figures
around our best towns, from $40.00 to
$50.00 per acre. A great deal of rail-
way building was in progress all sum-
mer, and many telephone lines erected.
Our line is completed within 3 miles of
Zion. The poles became exhausted.
hence the delay. The demand for poles
is so great, that the supply falls far
short.
Just now Cando, our county-seat
town, is making an effort to secure the
Dunkard college that is to be ‘built in
the near future somewhere in this
state. So far, there are four competi-
tive points, namely, Cando, Egeland,
Carrington and Surrey. But Cando is
sanguine of having the best induce-
ments to offer. The Northwest feels
the need of such a school, as the others
are all too far away to be patronized
by the churches here.
A few weeks ago we were visited
here by Jerry J. Peck and Jacob F.
Lichty, of Waterloo, Iowa. Both gen-
tlemen were well pleased with our
section of country, as they got to see
some of our ripe corn, pumpkins,
squash and tomatoes. But our eastern
people don’t want to bank up on these
things, as they are the exception and
not the rule.
In conclusion, I must tell you that
“ye” scribe had been a great sufferer a
few weeks ago with an old-fashioned
“Katzen Schpurr” on his left hand.
But the Surgeon’s knife put a quietus
to it, after losing four nights of sleep.
It’s healing nicely now. With best
wishes to all, I remain
