FroM THE BERLIN GLEANER. Editor P. L. Livengood, of THE Sowm- ERSET COUNTY STAR, published at Salis- bury, created quite a surprise, last week, by announcing that he would be a candidate for legislative honors at the next primary. ‘“Pete” may be a plain, blunt spokesman, but he insists that he is not a dodger, and will “speak right out in meetin’” between now and the time of the primary, and let the people know where he stands on every question that is likeiy to come before the Assembly at the next ses- sion. Pete is not non-committal on anything, but we venture to say that some of his opponents will bew FroM THE CUMBERLAND (MpD.) ALLE- GANIAN. Editor Peter L. Livengood, of THE SoMERSET County STAR, has announced his intentions of being a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Legislature, next campaign. He is the kind of man to elect, one who has talent to accomplish something. No class of men knows the real needs of a country better than the newspaper men. They detect the lameness of laws at once, know how to improve them, know just how to word a para- graph in a law so that it will say what it means, and then the interpretation is plain and easy. The great trouble with the laws en- acted in most all states is in the in- terpretation of the meaning. If a document is properly and intelligently worded, there is no question as to its meaning. Laws that can be interpret- ed a half dozen ways, as cunning law- yers desire to suit their sides of cases, cause untold litigation, and the coun- ties pay the costs. Elecl representatives like Editor Livengood, and avoid at least half the litigation and costs. Editors come in contact with all classes of people, learn their desires and needs, and know how to remedy evils. Only one man out of a thousand or two is an editor. This is why so few editors are ever honored with office. Their turn rarely comes, but, when it does come. the people should elect them. They are especially fitted for legislative duties. Somerset county will now haye its opportunity, and the “Frosty Sons” should not let it escape. FroyM THE JOHNSTOWN DEMOCRAT. P. L. Livengood, the fighting editor of the Salisbury Star, is out in his gingery paper with an announcement that he is a candidate for a nomination to the Assembly, and he includes in his declaration that he will shortly issue a proclamation defining his. position. His preliminary pronunciamento hints at something sensational to come, and it is not to be doubted that if Mr. Liv- engood once gets fairly started on the political war-path, he will make it ex- ceedingly interesting for mollycoddles: nature fakirs, practical men, the male- factors of great wealth and other un- desirable citizens.

The editor of this paper has for a number of years been giving the social and economic problems of the world a great deal of his thought and observa- tion. He has read much that has been written by Socialists, and much that has been written in opposition to So- cialism. He has also been a close ob- server of men and their doings, and has fully arrived at the conclusion that Socialism has made more fools of men than any other doctrine that has ever been preached or written upon. The Socialist is generally filled with self pity, the meanest kind of sympathy on earth. He imagines the whole world is walking over his self-pitied carcass with heavy shoes full of pikes, and he yearns for an equal division of all the good things of this life, or rather that portion of them not owned and monopolized by himself. Hig dreams are beautiful, but as impossible as stopping the tides and time. If all men were born with exactly the same amount of intellect, the same amount of physical strength, and the same inclinations and temperament, then the dreams of the Socialists could be realized. If it were possible to put the world on a strictly Socialistic basis, there could be but one final outcome, viz: The destruction of all incentive to progress and advancement, and a race that would soon become as indolent and unconcerned as the monkeys of the jungle. The whole human family would drift back to’ignorance and sav- agery. “Socialism means innocuous des- uetude, national decay, governmental dissolution. This sounds like.a strange declaration,” says the Connellsville Courier, ‘yet the New York Sun calls upon history to prove it,” says the Courier. The Sun says: “The huge Inca empire went to pieces at a stroke, because in it the Peruvian had no personal freedom and no personal interest. The London Mail lays its finger on the vital truth when it points out that the great incentive to honest industry, the desire to better one’s condition, was lacking. The Pe- ruvian’ intellect had never been sharp- ened by fighting the battle of life. He lacked manliness. He was merely an animated machine; a slave during work hours, one who had nothing to say about the disposal of his crops or wares; a child to whom necessaries were doled out from the public stores, as it were by a nurse, It was not to be expected that after generations had been subjected to this Socialistic nurs ing, men who had never had the pros- pect of rising and never known the fear of want, should display patriotism and energy in defense of a country wherein they had no individual stake. Hence the Peruvian empire fell at the first resolute blow.” The Sun has spoken the truth, to which the Connellsville Courier truth- fully adds: “Socialism is ideal, but impractica- ble. ‘The survival of the fittest’ has been a law unto mankind since the world began. Had it been a bad law, it would long ago have been success- fully supplanted by Socialism. There may be some middle ground. In fact, we seem to be occupying some such ground in modern times. Popular government has practically supplanted imperial rule in the civilized nations of the earth. “Government by the people is a long step from absolute government to So- cialism, but it still leaves man some- thing to-strive for. Without this in- centive, it is not hard to comprehend that ambition would be dead, and from a race of freemen we would de- generate into a race of slaves with no aspirations higher than bodily comfort. “We would not live; we would only exist,” Farmers’ Week. The lectures and practical work giv- en during Farmers’ Week at The Penn- sylvania State College, last winter, were so thoroughly approved by those present, and the attendance this winter promises to be so large that more sub- jects will be discussed and more time given to the important subjects. Ap- ple growing, insect pests, market gar- denidg, dressing and curing meats, household sanitation and cooking dem- onstrations are new subjects added this year. Seed corn selection, ger- mination tests, soils, feeding, stock judging, starters and cream ripening are some of the other subjects. This is an opportunity for the business farmer, the dairyman and the cream- eryman, with their wives, to spend a profitable week at The Pennsylvania State College, Jan. 1 to 9, at no charge, except railway fare and living expenses, For program of subjects and speakers, address Professor H.
