Tue barbers of this county have lost
much valuable patronage by organiz-
ing a union. Union barber shops may
be all right in large towns, where all
kinds of business places are closed at
an early hour. But conditions are dif-
ferent in the country, and they always
will be. Merchants and other business
men in the smaller towns are largely
dependent upon the. farmer for their
patronage, hence they cannot close
their places of business before nine or
ten o’clock p. m. Farmers must naces-
sarily work later hours than most peo-
ple, for they must make the greatest
possible use of weather favorable to
planting and gathering their crops.
“| Then it often happens that they must
come to town after doing their day’s
work, to purchase articles needed the
next day, and as they cannot come

early, it is necessary for the merchants | There Should be no Statute of Limi-
and shopkeepers to make their closing |
hours late. The barbers should be as
accommodating as the other business
men, and they should know that many
a man whose time is valuable cannot
afford to sit in a. barber shop by the
hour, waiting to be shaved before nine
o'clock, or be turned away if he arrives
one minute after that hour. We know
quite a lot of people who used to be the
best of barber shop patrons, who now
do their own shaving, because the in-
convenient and absurd rules of the
barbers’ union have forced them to it.
The safety razor made shaving
cheap and easy for all men who prefer
to be shaved smoothly and quickly
whenever they feel that they need a
shave, and most of the patronage that
unionism has driven from the barber
shops has beendriven away for all time.
The dollar safety razor is filling a long
felt want, and its large army of de-
lighted users is growing by leaps and
bounds. And the barbers’ union is re-
sponsible for it all. We believe in the
open shop principle in all things, and
we don’t care who kr.ows it. About all
that the average trades union is good
for is to inconvenience the public and
put the botch mechanic on an equality
with the skilled mechanic. At THE
STAR print shop we do work at any
hour of the day or night to suit the
customer who has the price to pay for
it, and we find that it pays us well to
do so. We think too much of our per-
sonal rights and liberty to knuckle
down to the rules of any union on
earth.

Should Quit ‘Shooting Off His Face’’
for a Living.
A dispatch in one of the city news-
papers, this week, states that the Rev.
A. J. Beale, a United Evangelical min-
ister, probably saved a woman from
being beaten to death, The Rev. Mr.
Beale, who formerly held a pastorate
at Somerset, now lives at Braddock.
He heard the screams of a woman, and
rushed from his home to that of a
neighbor. where he found a negro beat-
ing his wife. Mr. Beale pointed a re-
volver at the negro, and then marched
him to the city police station. This re-
calls an incident that occurred when
Mr. Beale resided at Somerset. When
Joe and David Nicely, the Umberger
assassins. broke jail and escaped to
Oak Ridge, Mr. Beale followed the
murderers, as did hundreds of others.
The writer and Mr. Beale took a po-
sition at the northwestern edge of the
grove, to prevent the assassins escap-
ing from that place, and while they
were standing there, the Nicelys
emerged from the woods. Mr. Beale
leveled a revolver at the Nicelys, and
after commanding them to halt, fired
several shots at them, but all of the
shots went wide of the mark.—Somer-
set Standard.
THE STAR is of the opinion that Rev.
Beale is too fond of using a gun for a
man posing as a sky pilot. He should
practice what he preaches, or else quit
“shooting off his mouth” for a living,
and go to shooting off his revolver in-
stead. What business has a preacher
got with a revolver, anyway? We
think Rev. (?) Beale is after a little
cheap notoriety now and then. The
chances are that his preaching goes as
wide of the mark as his bullets did
when he shot at the Nicelys. Anyway,
the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a gos-
pel of bullets, revolvers and shooting,
no matter under what circumstances.

WAS IN POOR HEALTH FOR
YEARS.
Ira W. Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa.
writes: “I was in poor health for two
years, suffering from kidney and blad-
der trouble, and spent considerable
money consulting physicians without
obtaining any marked benefit, but was
cured by Foley’s Kidney Cure. and I
desire to add my testimony that it may
be the cause of restoring the health of
others.” Refuse substitutes. Sold by

What He Could Do.
Dr. Story, the late principal of Glas-
gow University, while taking a holiday
in the country once, was met by the
minister of the district, who remarked:
“Hullo, Principal! You here? Why,
you must come down and relieve me
for a day.”
Dr. Story replied:
“I don’t promise to relieve. you, but I
might relieve your congregation.”
tations to Make an Honest
Account Uncollectible.
Of all the virtues in man, none com-
pare with the virtue of honesty. A
wise man has truly said that an honest
man is the nblest work of God. The
man who is honest may have faults in
other directions, but as a general thing
he averages up far better in most vir-
tues than the man who is dishonest.
The sins of dishonesty and deception
are one and the same, and probably no
other sins cause so many countless
thousands to mourn. Yea, not only to
mourn, but to give up in despair, lose
faith in humanity and lead dishonor-
able instead of honorable lives. One
dishonest man is responsible for many
rogues, and there are many instances
where one dishonest act has wrecked
not only the manly principle in the
person resorting to it, but also wrecked
it in those who observed that act or
were made to suffer by it.
Being honest does not only mean
that we should pay our debts, but it
means that we should be what we pre-
tend to be in all things. Of course,
paying our debts is a very essential
thing in being honest. Probably it is
the most essential thing.
There should be no statute of limita-
tions to make an honest account un-
eollectible, and the man who is able to
pay his just debts, but refuses to do so
just because the statute of limitations
relieves him of payment—such a man,
we say, is not honest, no matter what
his religious pretensions may be, how
much he may boast of giving to the
| church, how meekly he may wend hig
‘way to the sanctuary,or how religious-
1y he may observe the Sabbath.
Every man is entitled to a comfort-
able living who is willing. to earn it,
and it is well enough to have laws that
will prevent a man from being sold out
of house and home for debts that he
is unable to meet without reducing him
or those dependent upon him to the
verge of actual want, But the man
who is amply able to pay his debts,
whether outlawed or not, and fails or
refuses to do so, is a parasite and a
sponger off of others, and none of the
noblest work of God—an honest man.
To acquire a fortune without paying
your just debts, if you are able to pay
them, is acquiring a fortune in a mean
and dirty way. We heartily agree
with the following from the Success
Maggazine:
and Transportation Company, Thomas
Kell’s Sons Company, the Burlee Dry
Dock Company, James Shewan & Sons,
Ira 8. Bushey, and McAllister Brothers, -
some very large orders having been
booked from several of these firms
recently.
Besides handling ship and dock tim-
bers in large quantity, the Billmeyer
Company is a heavy shipper of oak
car lumber, and has lately been sup-
plying two of the largest eastern rail-
roads with practically all their require-
ments. This company has also a very
lucrative trade in chestnut, white and
yellow pine, in fact enjoys the confi-
dence and respect of the lumber trade
in general, and especially of those with
whom it has had business relations.

MAXIMS OF ROOSEVELT.
No other nation can harm us if only
we are true to ourselves.
The foundation of our society rests
pon the man with the dinner pail
Whatever is really for his welfare, for
his permanent and ultimate welfare, is
for the welfare of the community.
It is as un-American to deride and
attack the man of means because he is
well-to-do, or the man of letters be-
cause he has a trained mind, as it
would be to attack his poorer brother
who has had no chance to win the
wealth or learning.
Every wealthy corporation that per-
petrates or is allowed to perpetrate &
wrong helps to produce or influence &
condition of angry excitement against
all corporations, which in its turn may
in the end harm alike the honest and
dishonest agents of public service, ané
thereby do far-reaching damage to the
whole body politic.
Any rational attempt to prevent or
counteract presenteday evils, by legis-
lation or, otherwise, is deserving of
hearty support ; but it can not be too
deeply impressed upon us that such an
attempt can result in permanedt good
only in proportion as they are made in
a sane and wholesome spirit, as far re-
moved as possible from what is hys-
terical or revolutionary.
