are even more dangercus than in mid-

A FALSE RUMOR.
Certain malicious persons have been
circulating a rumor to the effect that
J. A. Berkey has a finaneial interestin
Tur STAR, and that the editor thereof
is a candidate for the Legislature sole-
ly in Mr. Berkey’s interest. The ru-
mor is a falsehood from beginning to
end. “J. A. Berkey does not own a
cont’s worth of THE STAR, and neither
is the editor of Tue Star a candidate
in his personal interest. He does not
even know whethe?J. A. Berkey will
vote for him, for Mr. Berkey has several
good friends in the Legislative race,
and he cannot vote for them all.
There was a time when J. A. Berkey
had a financial interest in this paper,
and when the editor was under some
political and financial obligations to
that gentleman; but that time has
passed, and today Mr. Berkey and the
editor of Tur STAR are under no obliga-
tions to each other in any respect. Of
course, they are personal friends, and
have always treated each other on the
square. But as for obligations, there
are none either way, and the editor
aforesaid did not consult Mr. Berkey or
anybody else about becoming a candi-
date, and neither will he take orders
from any man if elected to the Legis-
lature. However, he will at all times
adhere to the principles of his platform
and what he considers the best interests
of his constituents.
P. L. Livexcoop, Editor.
Won’t Stand for a Slate.
A prominent citizen of Berlin writes
to Tue Star as follows:
“I like your stand against the slate-
makers. Fight it out on that line.
Your stand is admired by many in this
section. The people won’t stand for a
slate of any kind.”

Rockwood Leader Sued by J. A.
Berkey.
Just as we go to press we learn that
Banking Commissioner J. A. Berkey
has sued the Rockwood Leader on a
charge of criminal libel. The suit is
based on alleged false statements pub-
lished in the Leader, charging the law
firm of Berkey & Shaver, and especially
Mr. Berkey, with wrong-doing as at-
torneys to the County Commissioners.
The Leader accused Mr. Berkey of
illegal fee-grabbing, etc., in its issue of
last week."
The Somerset Herald also printed an
article in its issue of last week, con-
taining in substance about what ap-
peared in the Leader’s article, but
much more carefully worded. If suit
is brought against the Herald alsoit will
create no surprise. In fact the pub-
lishers of the Herald are pretty gener-
ally believed to have inspired the ar-
ticles in both papers, and also to have
tried to induce Editor Smith, of the
Meyersdale Commercial, to attack Mr.
Berkey in the same manner. Judging
by an editorial which appeared in last
week’s Commercial, somebody had evi-
dently submitted a lot of material to
Editor Smith to furnish the ground
work for an attack on Mr. Berkey, but
the old man evidently didn’t think it a
safe proposition. Following is his edi-
torial on the subject, and he takes ex-
actly the same view of it as held by
THE STAR:
“Messrs. Berkey & Shaver have re-
turned to the County Commissioners
$410.00 that by a recent decision of the
Superior Court are no longer allowed
as fees or perquisites of the solicitors
of the Commissioners. As there was
no demand made on them for this
amount, the inference is that they re-
turned it of their own volition, so soon
as they learned that they had no legal
claim to it. In this they did their duty.
They also have resigned as solicitors
for the Commissioners. This is about
all we can make out of the mass of
matter submitted to us for examina-
tion.”—Meyersdale Commercial.
THE STAR is indeed sorry to see any
of its friends in litigation, and it has
only the most friendly feeling for both
parties to the suit just begun. The
Leader doubtless believed it was print-
ing the truth, and that its publication
concerning Mr. Berkey was in line of
public duty, but we believe it was in
error. We do not believe that Messrs.
Berkey & Shaver are guilty of any
wrong-doing as attorneys tothe County
Commissioners, and we believe they
are amply prepared to demonstrate it.
If we believed them guilty-of illegal
fee grabbing, etc., we would denounce
them as readily and as severely as any
other journal in the county.
The trouble between Mr. Berkey, the
Herald and the Leader has at least ef-
fectually silenced one false rumor, and
that is the one started a few weeks ago
concerning an alleged political deal
made by Mr. Berkey and the Herald
publishers, who were reported to have
buried the hatchet and agreed upon a
political slate. The rumor was entirely
without foundation, as later events
have amply proven.
Rumors of political deals and official
scandal should be well investigated be-
fore rushing into print about them.
In the meantime we would like to see
the Leader and Mr. Berkey make up
and be friends ; but as for a making up
between Mr. Berkey and the Scull
brothers, we regard that as one of the
impossible things.

COL. BRYAN'S ILLUSTRATED
i BOOK OF TRAVEL.
The success of Col. Bryan's new
book, “THE OLp WorLD axp Irs Ways?
gives striking testimony to his hold on
the popular mind. It recounts and
profusely illustrates his recent journey
around the world. It has been issued
five months, and we are advised that,
in that short period, four large editions
aggregating 41,000 copies have been
called for. The reports of agents,
which have been submitted to us,
would indicate that the demand for it
is well nigh spontaneous and universal
—that it exceeds that "for any other
bock published for the subscription
trade since the period of “Grant's
Memoirs.” Col. Bryan’s Look with
like success depends upon no sympa-
thetic element for its strength. But it
has on the part of the people the en-
during feeling of personal confidence
in the great moral and intellectual im-
tegrity of its author.
It has an equally pronounced admir-
ation for his brilliant abilities. and the
untiring energy that enabled him to
cover the world in his noted tour—and
to photograph and describe it in his
inimitable way. Without official place
Col. Bryan is everywhere regarded, at
home and abroad, as a vital force in
American affairs. As a student of men
and of government, and of government-
al conditions, his observations and con-
clusions profoundly interest the people.
Hence the great sale of his book, de-
sceriptive of men and things seen during
his noted tour around the world and
through the Nations. It is vitalized by
251 artistic engravings, from photo-
graphs taken by him or under his su-
pervision, representing men, places
and things that interested him and
that specially interest every American
reader. It is a most unique presenta-
tion of a wonderfully interesting jour-
ney that has caught the attention of
the people, and met with great demand.
It is sold only through soliciting agents.

but use their judgement and do the
sane, honorable thing at the coming
primaries.

To The Voters of Somerset County.
In September, 1904, while working at
the mines of the Milford Coal Cons-
pany, I received an injury that has
permanently incapacitated me from
hard work, and because of this eon-
dition of my health, it will be impos-
sible for me to see all the voters of the
county personally. I therefore take
this method of informing you that I
am a candidate for the office of Re-
corder of Deeds, and respectfully so-
licit your support and influence. If
nominated and elected I shall use
every effort to conduct the office in =
manner that will meet with your ap-
proval, and if successful I also promise
never again to offer for county office.
