Bryan’s election, a few days ago, and
the house went on record as officially

next time.
Says the Arkansas Gazette: “The

would be to be as sure of the nomina-

they could look forward to is a finish
like that Mr. Bryan will make.

Would Inspect Drinks.
In the current bulletin of the Dairy
and Food Division, Commissioner Foust
makes a plea for a law to enable him
to take into account the drinks sold in
the state. He points to the miserable
eoncoctions sold to the people of Penn-
sylvania under the name of birch beer,
“pop,” ginger ale and thelike by some
dealers, who apparently do not care
what goes into them. In some of them
are used acids ‘which are decidedly
deleterious. He will ask the Legisla-
ture to make a law enabling the state
to deal with alcoholic beverages sold
in the state. It is claimed that many
of them are not as represented, but
| positively harmful, because of “fearful
| and wonderful ingredients.”

Here is a simple home-made mix- |
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York daily news-
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright’s disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; painful
and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce ;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A'well-known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in a bottle. This
mixture has a peculiar healing and
soothing effect upon the entire Kidney
and Urinary structure, and often over-
comes the worst forms of Rheumatism
in just a little while. This. mixture is
said to remove all blood disorders and
cure the Rheumatism by forcing the
Kidneys to filter and strain from the
blood and system all uric acid and
foul, decomposed waste matter, which
cause these afflictions. Try it if you
aren’t well. Save the prescription.

OUR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.
As the time draws near for nominat-
ing Presidential candidates, there is
much speculation as to who will be
selected as the standard bearers of the
two great parties, or rather for the
great Republican party and the once
great, but now rather insignificant
Democratic party. As to the nominee
for the latter, this paper is not much
concerned, for the indications are that
the Democratic party will hardly be
common amusement for its powerful
and progressive antagonist, in the
coming contest, unless the Republi-
cans put up an exceptionally weak
ticket.
Just who would be the strongest man
for the Republicans to nominate, prob-
ably no man could figure out. The
great Republican party has, we believe,
a goodly number of available men,
either one of whom could defeat any
Democrat in the country. Among
those most prominently mentioned is
our own Philander C. Knox, who
would undoubtedly make a strong
candidate. Secretary of War Taft, and
his bitter rival, J. B. Foraker, of Ohio,
are both men of great statesmanship,
who are also striving for the Presiden-
tial nomination. Taft seems to be the
more popular of the two, but not a
whit more able, and in J. B. Foraker
Mr. Taft will ever find a foeman worthy
of his steel. Either of them is a much
better man than he is painted by the
other, but we believe that the Repub-
lican party should dump them both
from the list of Presidential aspirants,
even though Taft seems to be backed
in his campaign by our worthy Presi-
dent, Theodore Roosevelt. The bitter
hatred of Taft and Foraker for one
another is distasteful and disgusting
to the rank and file of the Republican
party, and we would like to see both of
them dropped out of the race.
We are of the opinion that the man
of the hour is Robert La Follette, the
great and noble Wisconsin statesman.
He is thoroughly in accord with the
great reforms the people are demand-
ing, and as a statesman he is the peer
We believe he is pre-
eminently the man to lead the Repub-
lican hosts to victory. La Follette for
President, and Hughes, of New York,
for Vice President, sounds good to us,
and if nominated they will not leave a
grease spot of the Democratic party,
next November.
Coal Assessments Reduced.
Judge O’Connell, of Westmoreland
county, has reduced the coal assess-
ments of that county, as the result of
a vigorous kick put up by the coal
companies against glaring inequalities
in the manner of making assessments.
The coal operators in this county made
a just and vigorous appeal against the
last triennial assessment, before Judge
Kooser, last summer, on the same
grounds the complaint of the West-
moreland coal operators was based on.
Judge Kooser’s decision has not yet
been rendered in the matter, but is
looked forward to with interest.
The coal operators in Somerset coun-
ty acted very fair in the matter, and
showed many glaring inequalities.
holdings equalized with the holdings of
operating companies, no matter wheth-
er the assessments of the former are
raised, or those of the latter lowered. |:
The appeal of the coal companies is a
just one, as we view it.

Our Legislative Candidacy Gets a
Boost from North Dakota.
Under date of Dee. 12th, . 1907. M. P.
{-Lichty, a former Somerset countian
well known to many of our readers, re-
ports general prosperity in the locality
where he resides. He Says crops were
fair, last season, and prices good. The
people in North Dakota are well sup-
plied with fuel, he says, and are pre-
pared for any kind of blizzard that may
come along. They have taken the
necessary precautions not to be caught
short on fuel, was the case last
winter, when severe snow storms kept
the railroads tied up for weeks in the
Northwest, where there was much suf-
fering for want of fuel,
In touching upon our candidacy for
the Legislatnre. Mr. Lichty has our
thanks for the following kind and
complimentary words, which are all the
more appreciated because they come
from a scholarly, as well as a very
honorable man who has known us from
our infancy.
“Well, I see you're going to try your
chances getting the nomination for As-
semblyman. I hope, indeed, you will
make the riffle. T assure you nothing
would please me better than to see you
get into the State Legislature of the
old Keystone state. I have confidence
in your ability, and have every reason
to believe that you would please your
constituency, for we need men that are
fearless and bold enough to stand up
for their honest convictions, irrespec-
tive of friends or foes. Our best friends
may sometimes be blind to the best in-
terests for the public good. Yes, sir,
Peter, I believe you would be the right
man in the right place, and I hope you
will win in the race.”

A Plank for Our Platform.
Colonel Al Swartzwelder, the hand-
somest man in West Salisbury, as well
as the most pious, has suggested a
plank for the editor’s platform in hig
candidacy for the Legislature, and one
that we think most bachelors and wid-
owers of his age would bedn favor of.
He wants a law passed giving bach-
elors and widowers the right to take a
wife on six months’ probation, or sus-
picion, which he thinks amounts to the
same thing, and if the wife so taken
proves unsatisfactory, then she is to be
turned loose, fired out, discharged,
told to ekidoo and released in every
particular from the marriage contract,
and the contract in that event to be
null and void, and considered of no ac-
count, same as the woman so turned
loose, discharged, fired out or other-
wise released.
Well, we shall consider the proposed
plank, but in the meantime we'd like
to hear from the old maids and widows,
who should promptly apprise us of the
kind of legislation t they want,
A CARD.

are authorized to refund your money if
Foley’s Honey and Tar fails. to cure
your cough or cold. It stops the cough,
heals the lungs and prevents serious

An Editor's Trouble and Pleasure.
Editor “Jim” Bryant, of the Carleton
(Neb.) Leader, has lately been having
both bad luck and good luck. We re-
joice in the latter, and we are pleased
to learn that at least one editor can
command the munificent sum of $11.00,
all at one time. “Jim” ought to divide,
for in a recent issue he says:
“We had a $450.00-note, which would
be due the first of the year, and by
hard work and careful living had suc-
ceeded in getting all the money to-
gether to pay it, except $439.00, when
upon feeling for our pocketbook we
discovered it and the whole $11 gone;
imagine our genuine pleasure, if you
can, when we found the whole wad at
our own home. Ever been worried
that way?”
IT DOES THE BUSINESS,
Mr. E. E, Chamberlain, of Clinton,
Maine, says of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve:
“Tt does the business; I have used if
for piles and it cured them. Used it
for chapped hands and it cured them.
Applied it to an old sore and it healed
it without leaving a scar behind.”
