directly on the liver, make more bile
secreted. This is why they are so valu-
able in constipation, biliousness, dys-
pepsia, sick-headache. Ask your doctor
if he knows a better laxative pill.

An old criminal was once asked what
was the first thing that led him to ruin,
and he said: “The first thing that led
to my downfall was cheating an editor
out of two years subscription. When I
had done that, the devil had such a hold
on me I could not shake him off.
A big cut or a little cut, small

Our paper has practically nothing in
it but politics, this week, but next week
it will have its usual assortment of
news. The editor being a candidate
himself, had much political matter to
send out during the windup of the cam-
paign, hence no time to gather or write
up general news.

to use, in a collapsible tube, with noz-

Mr. Voter, do not forget that P. L.
Livengood was the first candidate in
the field to announce for Assembly,
and that he decl:red openly and above
board for Local Option before the com-
mittee of political slate-makers was in
existence. At least one of the “slate”
candidates has never openly declared
himself for Local Option, and the other
said when elected two years ago that
he would be satisfied with one term.

Harry C. Beerits, the well-known
Somerset grocer, died last week, aged
nearly 68 years. Mr. Beerits was born
in Germany, but came to America
when a boy. In 1872 he went into bus-
iness-with Jonas M. Cook, under the
firm name of Cook & Beerits, who for
many years enjoyed the distinction of
being the leading grocery firm in Som-
erset county. Mr. Cook retired from
the firm several years ago, and since
his retirement the business has been
conducted under the firm name of H.
C. Beerits & Sons. Deceased is sur-
vived by his wife, two sons and two
daughters,

Rev. L. P. Young stood up before the
Rockwood committee of political slate-
makers, which was partly made up of
scheming, meddlesome Democrats, and
made a speech in favor of slating P. L.
Livengood for the Assembly. How-
ever, when the balloting was done, he
cast his vote for another man. Yet he
tries to make Livengood believe that he
was not guilty of duplicity. He was as
guilty of duplicity as was Judas Iscariot
when he walked forth and kissed his
Saviour, only to betray him into the
hands of his enemies. However, Liven-
good is profoundly thankful that he
was not slated by the aforesaid com-
mittee.

We must concentrate our vote! cries
the Republican-Democratic- Prohibition
and Gospel Bushwhacker political trust.
Well, let them concentrate their own
ballots on whem they please, but they
will find that all liberty-loving Repub-
licans who are opposed to slates and
believe in fair play, will do a little con-
centrating on their own account, with-
out any dictating from a committee
ing Democratic cranks and bigots.
The only regret is that honest, con-
scientious men like Rev. G. D. Miller
are being deceived by scheminggDemo-
cratic politicians masquerading in
sheep’s clothing. :
To have perfect health we must have
perfect digestion, and it is very import-

do you think he could have made much
of a good impression among men if he
had gone about with a big wad of filthy
tobacco on the inside of his cheek, and
spitting and slobbering tob: eco juice
here and there? We think not.
kind of conduct is only proper when one
is out working against a home candi-
date for the Legislature by trying to
make votes for a cigar manufacturer in
a neighboring town. The tobacco busi-
ness is a twin sister of the liquor busi-
ness, and even the “chawin’ tobacker’”
which some preachers condescend to
use is saturated with rum to give it
flavor and make slaves of its users.
Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup—
the cough syrup that tastes nearly as
good as maple sugar, and which chil-
dren like so well to take. Unlike
nearly all other cough remedies, it
does not constipate, but on the other
hand it acts promptly, yet gently on
the bowels, through which the cold is
forced out of the system, and at the
same time it allays inflammation. Al-
ways use Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1
The Rev. L. P. Young shows inexcus-
able disloyalty to his home town when
he goes about in our home community
working against a home candidate for
the Legislature by trying to induce our
people to vote for a citizen of Meyers-
dale and a citizen of Somerset. If the
home candidate were not running on
highly moral issues, Mr Young’s course
would be justifiable. But as the facts
are, he is only stirring uy hard feeling
and injuring the temperance cause.
The home candidate gave
boosts through the columns of this
paper, free of charge, and now Mr-
Young is showing his gratitude for
favors received at THz Star’s hands.

One of the profanely bitter men
against Editor Livengood’s Legislative
candidacy is poor old Adam Fogle. But
Adam has just cause for it, according to
his way of thinking, for be it remem-
bered that about sixteen years ago
when uncle Adam was a candidate for
County Commissioner, Editor Liven-
good worked hard for his election, and
printed $7.00 worth of cards for him
which he has never been paid a cent for.
So far, so good, but when uncle Adam
was a candidate again, three years
later, the editor was mean enough to
refuse tosupport him or do any more
free printing for him. Therefore, why
shouldn’t Adam be spiteful, profane and
bitter against THE Star man? Poor
old rum-soaked, sputtering Adam! We
ask our readers not to think too harshly
of him, for he once was a respected
citizen, and now that his head is bloom-
ing for the grave, may the good Lord
have the mercy on him that he does not
seem to have for himself, yet which he
so badly needs.
That languid, lifeless feeling that
comes with spring and early summer,
can be quickly changed to a feeling of
buoyancy and energy by the judicious
use of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The
Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired,
rundown nerves, and but a few doses is
needed to satisfy the user that Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative is actually reach-
ing that tired spot. The indoor life of
winter nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels, and to sluggish circulation in
general. The customary lack of exer-
cise and outdoor air ties up the liver,
stagnates the kidneys, and oft-times
weakens the Heart’s action Use Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative a few weeks and
all will be changed. A few days test
will tell you that you are using the
right remedy. You will easily and
surely note the change from day to day.

Dear Sir:—Enclosed find voucher

I trust you will be successful in your
undertaking for office, a3 old Pennsyl-

Tie aggregation of gentlemen of dif-
ferent political affiliations who elected
to sit in the political game as a “com-
mittee,” have learned by this time that
the voters, especially this year, require
a square deal. The voter to whom is
dealt a hand bearing the earmarks of
insincerity, is likely to call for a new
deal. A “committee” whose icts are
notoriously dictatorial, can not escape
the spot-light by mere denial.—Somer-
set Standard.
THE framers of the new primary law
intended to give political parties con-
trol of their own nominations, without
interference from the enemies of the
party. The ballots will be printed sep-
arately for that purpose, and the law
defines the party qualifications when it
provides that the elector must have
voted at the last general election for a
majority of the candidates of the party
whose ballot he asks for. If he is chal-
lenged he must swear to this. The fact
that a man is not challenged does not
give him the right to vote with the par-
ty to which he does not belong. But
there ought to be a challenge in every
case where a citizen tries to take part
in the nominations of another party
than his own. Knowing the conditions
of this law, no honest man will attempt
tend. The last Congress at least knew’
Mr.
Young’s lecture course several good
to participate in the nomination of
another party than his own, but if he
does, he should be compelled to estab-
lish his right to a ballot by oath. Re-
cently, some Democrats and Prohibi-
tionists joined a number of Republi-
cans in selecting two candidates for the
Assembly for the more than eight
| thousand Republicans, and it is not im-
| probable that some of the members of
this committee will undertake to par-
| ticipate in the Republican nomination.
| No law will enforce itself, and an en-
| forced law makes no distinction in the |
i
| classes. —Somerset Standard.
