GovERNOR Stuart has signed the bill
giving trolley companies the right to
carry freight. The present Republican
State administration is making good
the pledges made to the people before
the election of last November.
le
WE are sorry that we do not have
time, this week, to review the Rock-
wood Leader’s answers to our questions
asked recently concerning trolley com-
panies using public roads. We have
not yet had time to read all of the
Leader’s reply, but a hurried glance
has revealed some very nonsensical
answers, nevertheless, and the same
shall have due attention in our next
issue.
GOVERNOR STUART has gned the bill
increasing liquor license tax of retail
dealers in townships twenty-five dol-
lars, fifty dollars in boroughs and
cities of the third class, and one hun-
dred dollars in cities of the first and
second class. This additional tax is for
the use of the state, whereas it should
be for the use of the townships, bor-
oughs and cities that have to take care
of the drunks and contend with the
criminals and blackguards produced by
the traffic.
Ix the course of about ten years, says
the Altoona Evening Gazette, the
country will be covered with a network
of electric railways. The extensions of
this means of travel and transporta-
tion will be the solution of many prob-
lems. Passenger and freight rates
will be cheaper, and the latter will
offer competition not only with the
steam roads, but with the express com-
panies. The trolley lines can carry
small packages to every point reached
by express, and to many which it does
not reach. The granting of the right
of eminent domain to companies will
greatly aid in the development of the
industry, making it much easier for the
promoters to get rights of way. One of
the problems which the extension of
trolleys will help to solve will be that
of the price of food products. No
doubt one of the ways to cheapen the
necessaries of life is to give the raisers
of produce every access to the centers
of population possible.
ROBBED by Mr. Roosevelt of all his
living issues, afraid to trust himself to
his issue of government ownership of
railroads, Mr. Bryan, desperately cast-
ing about for some idea with which his
name may be identified in the popular
mind, has fished up the ancient, bat-
tered, uninteresting and academic
notion of the initiative and referendum,
You might as well try to inspire the
people by urging upon them a new
method of extracting the cube root.
The initiative and referendum has a
deathless charm for raw minds. It is
the last support of frayed and outworn
political reputations. A theory which,
if applied in private business, would
result in universal bankruptey, which
has in every land been rejected by the
founders of political institutions, which
is applicable only to the affairs of
small, primitive, and homogeneous
communities, will not be transformed
by Mr. Bryan into an issue about which
the people will go wild —New York
Times.
DurixG the past two weeks we have
mailed a great many statements to
persons owing us money on subserip-
tion, and to those who have responded
with full or partial payments, we ten-
der our sincere and grateful thanks.
As usual, some who are the least able
to pay were among the first to respond,
while many who are perfectly able to
pay such bills at any time, have not yet
paid us a cent. This is not as it shoild
be, and no person has a moral right to
owe any man a just debt a day longer
than neeessary, after receiving a state-
ment and knowing just what the
amount of the debt is. It does not
speak well for the business integrity of
a man to carry a statement of a debt
around with him for days, weeks or
months without paying the slightest
attention to it or making an honest ef-
fort to cancel the debt or make some
sort of satisfaction. We have always
made it a rule to respond promptly to
statements or bills rendered to us, and
we expect those to whom we have ex-
tended credit and placed confidence in
to do business with us according to the
same standard. Cash up, gentlemen,
and don’t think for a minute that we
send out statements merely for the
purpose of getting rid of cash for
postage stamps.
A PETITION was circulated several
days ago praying for the appointment
of Theoph. Wagner as assessor of Sal-
isbury borough. Mr. Wagner was a
candidate for that office at the last
Borough election, and on the face of
the returns he was elected, but
was not an eligible candidate for
the office, owing to the fact
that he served on the election board at
the time. and THE STAR so stated im-
mediately after the election. It is
true that Mr. Wagner was the only
candidate for the office, but any voter
has a right to vote for whomsoever he
pleases, in the blank space provided for
that purpose on the official ballot, and
at the election aforasaid some of the
voters voted for William Kyle for as-
sessor. Although Kyle was not a can-
didate for the office, he was neverthe-
less eligible thereto, and the only eli-
gible person voted for at the last elec-
tion for assessor. Therefore, the duty
of the election board was to promptly
issue to Mr. Kyle a certificate of elee-
tion. And tinless he has declined to
serve as assessor, Mr. Wagner nor any
other man can lawfully seek the office
or be lawfully appointed thereto.
“Billy” should not permit himself to be
duped out of an office to which he was
lawfully elected.

TROLLEY NEWS.
As we go to press litigation is still in
progress between the two warring
trolley companies. People who have
been listening to the trial in. progress,
this week. think the old M. & S. com-
pany ls beaten to a standstill, and that
the injunctions against the P. & M. will
soon be dissolved. In that event the
P.& M. will have its line completed
and in operation on short order, while
Elder S. P. Maust will likely be kept
busy footing bills for the mythical
company he has been trying to aid.
We feel sorry for him, for experience
is a dear teacher, and we
Maust has been acting in good faith
upon very bad advice.
The old M. & S. has a few ‘“hunkies”
at work on its grade along Spruce
Hill, near Boynton, this week, but that
is only another bluff on the part of the
old wildeat concern, and doubtless the
poor “hunks” will have due bills for
sale at a big discount, in a short time
from now, as was the case the other
time the M. & 8. was in the grading
business.

Berlin Schools Receive Fine Gift—
Salisbury Schools Deprived of
Same Thing by Stupidity of
Our School Board.
A geographical collection or class-
room museum has been installed at the
Berlin High School, which will greatly
assist in the teaching of geography,
commerce and natural science. This
museum is Collection No. 3, and is for
use in schools of the higher grades. It
is supplied by the Philadelphia
Museums, and was secured for the
Berlin schools through the recommen-
dations of Representatives Endsley
and Knepper. The exhibits have been
placed in a temporary case for the
present, but will be properly cased and
shelved before the fall term opens,
when we will give a complete descrip-
tion of the museum.—Berlin Record.
It is with much shame and regret
that we announce the failure of the
Salisbury sehool board to accept from
Representative Endsley a gift of the
same kind he and Hon. A. W. Knepper
have procured for the Berlin schools.
Mr. Endsley twice offered to arrange
for such a collection for the Salisbury
schools, and our school board was duly
notified to that effect. Yet the board
has stupidly ignored the offer, and thus
are the Salisbury schools deprived of
something of great value that was
offered free of charge, and which other
more progressive school boards
throughout the county availed them-
selves of promptly, thus doing the
schools under their jurisdiction a valu-
able service.
‘The members of the Salisbury school
board ought to be ashamed of them-
selves, and the citizens of this borough
ought to be ashamed of them, too, and
hold them to strict account for the
shameful neglect of their duties.
It isn’t a great while ago that Janitor
W. H. Boucher informed THE STAR that
not one of our school directors had
visited the schools at any time during
the term. They may have done so
since, but it is not likely.
One thing is sure, and that is the
think Mr. |
fact that the truant laws have not been
enforced during the present school
term. Boys and girls whom the law
requires to be sent to school have been
allowed to remain away therefrom, at
their own sweet will, owing to the
negligence and unconcern of the board.
The directors have also been lax in
their duties in other respects, and in
justice to the community they ought
to resign.
There may or may not be instances
where children are given a stone when
they ask for bread, or a serpent when
they ask for fish; but it is a sure thing
that when valuable geographical and
commercial collections are offered to
the schools of Salisbury, free of charge,
to aid in the cause of education, they
are ignored, and the pupils are treated
to inexcusable indifference and vac-
cination scabs instead.
HOW TOAVOID APPENDICITIS.

constipation by stimulating the liver

action of the bowels. Orino Laxative
Fruit Syrup does not nauseate or gripe
and is mild and pleasant to take. Re-

Daniel J. Horner Dead.
Daniel J. Horner, one of the most
widely known men in Somerset county,
died last Monday morning, at his home
in Somerset. He took sick on the 13th
inst., and his death ascribed to a
complicated hernia, which caused him
considerable suffering at times for
many years.
Deceased was a very suceessful poli-
tician in his time, having served the
county as Register and Recorder, Pro-
thonotary and Associate Judge, and
Somerset borough as tax-collector
councilman and school director. Ie
also served oné term clerk to the
County Commissioners and store-keep-
er and gauger in the Internal Revenue
is
as
service.
He was twice defeated for nomina-
tion for office—once for Prothonotary,
and once for Assembly, but on both
occasions he received a flattering vote.
Judge Horner was a genial, warme
hearted man, in every sense an opti-
mist, and he was the same pleasant
‘Danny” to his political opponents and
friends alike. He was always ready
and anxious to do a good turn for any-
body. He was a veteran of the Civil
War, and lost a leg as ths result of a
wound reseived in the battle of Fred-
ericksburg, Dec. 13th, 1862. He was a
member of Company C, 142nd Pa. Vol.
Infantry.
Deceased was a member of the Re-
formed church, the Grand Army of the
Republic and numerous secret societies.
His age was 82 years, 10 months and 25
days. The funeral takes place today
at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by his
pastor, the Rev. Hiram King, assisted
by the order of Odd Fellows and the R.
P. Cummins Post of the G. A. R. Mr.
Horner is survived by his wife, but no
children.
Phineas Welfley Dead.
We regret very much to announce
the death of Phineas Welfley, which
occurred in a Pittsburg hospital, a
couple of days ago, where he had been
taking treatment for a cancerous af-
fection of the bladder.
The body is expected in Salisbury
this evening, and the funeral is to take
place from the residence of R. 8S. Johns,
tomorrow (Friday).
Deceased and family moved to Fay-
ette county, recently, where they ex-
pected to take charge of a farm owned
by Mr. Frank F. Zanchi, a son-in-law
of Mr. Welfley who resides in Connells-
ville. Mr. Welfley took sick while en
route to his new home, and by the
time he reached Connellsville his con-
dition was so serious that he had to be
taken to a hospital at once. Hishealth
declined rapidly from day to day, un:
til death came to his relief.
Deceased was twice married. * His
first wife died some twenty years ago
but he is survived by the second wife
and several children. He was aged
about 80 years, residing practically all
of his life in Salisbury, where he was
greatly esteemed as a kind-hearted,
upright citizen. He was a member of
the Evangelical Lutheran church.
