It is preposterous to attempt to har- organization that has eovered itself as often and as completely with infamy as has the Democratic party. The little brown jug and the Democratic party go well togetber. but the Bible is out of place with: that party, especially with the revolutionary brand of De- mocracy which Mr. Bryan stands for: Mr. Tasker’s article is as full of mis- statements as the average yellow dog is full of fleas, and it reflects only gghe ignorance and bigotry: of the man. The whole thing recalls to mind the trite old saying that “When the devil was sick, The devil a saint would be ; But when the devil was well, Devil the saint was he.” | Much of the would-be religious gush that is being written by narrow-mind- generously overlooked, however, for the reason that such Democratic devils in sheep’s clothing are very sick about this time, and are getting sicker each day. On the morning of Nov. 4th they will be still sicker, and the victorious followers of broad-minded, good and patriotic “Bill” Taft will soon have burried the old Democratic political corpse for another four-year term. — POLLS AND PAPERS.

Prominent Labor Leader Pays High Tribute to Hon. A. F. Cooper. Before a multitude which crowded the Opera House in Brownsville, Sat- urday night, M. M, Garland, one of the ablest and most iutelligent labor lead- ers in the United States, and formerly President of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Iron and Steel Workers, ut- tered the following words: “I am always pleased to take an op- portunity to say a word in behalf of my friend, Hon. Allen F. Cooper. He is a man who has never been appealed to in vain in behalf of legislation to aid the toiling masses.” g In one respect Mr. Cooper is fortu- nate. He is the subject of as much sincere and disinterested appreciation as any man ever chosen by the people of &his county or district to represent them. And we venture to say that this little tribute of Mr. Garland’s will be set down by Mr. Cooper as one of the most cherished among his many recent evidences of public apprecia- tion.— Uniontown Herald. eg WOULD MORTGAGE THE FARM.

DEAR Sir: —I wish to take this means of announcing my determination to vote and work for Hon. A. F. Cooper to secure his return to Congress. While a Democrat, I feel that Mr. Coopar has done more for this district, more for the old soldiers and the whole people than anybody else who may be mentioned in the JJwenty-third District of Penn- sylvania. Iam an old soldier, having been a member of Company K, Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery, organized in Uniontown, under Captain A. 8. Miller, in 1862. Therefore I am speaking both as a voter and old soldier, and in both these capacities I feel that not only myself, but others should give their best support to Mr. Cooper to keep him in Congress, a place which’ he fills to the best interests of his constituents. I may also add that not only myselfs but five other voting members of my family will cast votes in November for Mr. Coover. Respectfully yours, . Er1sam JoHNSON, MARRIED MAN IN TROUBLE.

Miller, pro- prietor. 11-1 MORE APPRECIATION. Few members of Congress from Pennsylvania have served their con- stituents so long and so ably as the Hon. Ernest F. Acheson, of Washing- ton, Pa. And the fact that he was de- feated for the nomination this year has not prejudiced his view to the extent of refraininy from payng a well- merited compliment to a colleague, even should that colleague enjoy the privilege denied him—viz., a renomi- nation, which practically means a re- election. In a passage below, quoted from Mr. Acheson’s paper, the Wash- ington Observer, it will be noted that Mr. Acheson speaks with that convie- tion born of a long experience in Wash- ington, D. C. It'was the length of Mr, Acheson’s tenure in Congress which enabled him to reach that command- ing position at the capital that entitled him to that consideration for his con- stituents impossible of attainment by any new member. : In reply to the stupid assertion of a Waynesburg paper that the Hon. A. F. Cooper, of this district, had worn the “honor” long enough, Mr. Acheson’s paper says: “This is not much of a reason why the people should not re-elect him. No better argument could be given for He is just now in position to be of scme service to his constituents, and his experience is worth much to the people. The people of the Twenty-third district will do well by retaining their present repre- sentative in Congress for many years, if they have no better excuse for re- tiring him than that ‘he has worn the honor long enough.’ ” This voluntary testimonial should prove extremely gratifying not only to Mr. Cooper, but to the people of this district, who will naturally appreciate this evidence of esteem for their rep- resentative. Republican Rally. The Salisbury Republican Club had an enthusiastic meeting, yesterday evening, and it was decided to hold a Republican rally in Hay’s opera house next/ Wednesday evening. Able speak- ers will be on hand to discuss the is- sues of this campaign in a fair and un- prejudiced manner, and people of all political shades and doctrines are re- spectfully invited to attend. : The club will have its next meeting next Tuesday evening, in the Club room, McKinley building, and all Re- publicans should be on hand. as an in- teresting session is promised.

Likins, the Prohibition eandidate for Congress in this district, is a “mistake.” That is the expression heard from numerous Prohibitionists who have read his paper that is being freely circulated hereabouts, and who have heard his “speeches.” The Pro- hibition party has always stood for a principle and bas within the past sever- al years impressed the people to a con- siderable extent. But Candidate Lik- ins has undone all that the faithful ad- herents of the cold water cause have accomplished, and it is doubtful if more than two-thirds the party’s former strength will be polled at the coming election. It was a “mistake” to have put him on the ticket in the first place, and it was a still bigger “mistake” on the part of the Somerset county Prohi- bitionist to permit him to stump this county, expounding his impracticable and idiotic doctrines. His “speeches” are enough to class him among the “foolish.” His harangues about Fay- ette county politics have no interest to our people, while his arguments are too wild and flimsy to even invite con- sideration. Imagine banking institu- tions being compelled to publish the names of the makers and endorsers, together with the amounts of all notes carried. Such an idea could seemingly only emanate from a diseased brain, And many of his other doctrines are just as idiotic. He —assails almost everybody and everything, except Likins and his ludicrous ideas, charg- ing all kinds of corruption and improp- er practices. Can the thought be fa- ther to the deeds, were conditions re- versed? His candidacy is not hurting anybody, and were it not for the fact that the people become disgusted at hearing everything reviled, no atten- tion would be paid to his wild rantings. but the people are not fools enough to be made to believe that there is noth- ing but corruption in the world, and they are getting a surfeit of his abusive tirades. He is a “mistake,” and when the votes are counted on the night of November 3 it will be realized more fally.. ARE YOU ONLY HALF ALIVE?

On the way back he became involved in a discussion of national politics with some Uniontown people. Sitting in the same compartment was a man who up until a certain point had taken no gart in the discussion. And when he thought one of the Taft arguments needed a little clinching, he leaned fcr- ward, at the same time pulling a book out of his pocket, and said: “Excuse me, gentlemen. I do not care to butt in; but I can show you that two of the largest orders I took yesterday were with the stipulation that they were to be cancelled in case of Bryan's election. I am forced to book many of my orders the same way. In other cases, the orders are booked with the understanding that they are to be cut 33 1-3 and as much as 50 per cent. in the event of Bryan’s election. I am from New York, and T would be willing to bet that more than half the traveling men from that and other wholesale cities will tell you the same thing.” This is certainly an interesting com- mentary on the candidacy of W. J. Bryan. Remember, this is no trust dodge or political ruse. This is simply the feeling of the merchants, the mid- dleman. Let any man who doubts this take a walk down Main street in Uniontown, this afternoon, and let him ask the merchants whether they are for Taft or Bryan, and why. There will be one or two for Bryan, but the great majority will be for Taft, and the reason they will give is their fear that a return to normal business conditions will be postponed in case of Bryan's election until the end of his term. We believe there are many talking for Bryan who will not vote for him when they take their sober second thoughts between now and election day.—Uniontown Herald. ——— SAVED HIS BOY'S LIFE. “My three year old boy was badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition.

Tue Star can truly and honestly sanction every word of the following opinion gleared from the Uniontown Herald : “We believe the election of William J. Bryan to the Presidency of the United States would be one of the gravest political mistakes this country ever made. “We do not base this assertion on partisan grounds. We do not base it upon matters of carty doctrine or principle. We base it upon our judg- ment of the man and his character. “Bryan can be charged with incom- petency, inexperience, instability, in- adequacy of judgement, lack of busi- ness equipment, and even lack of char- acter. If he stood on a platform hand- ed down by the angels, we still believe he would be unfit to take up the work where it will be left by President Roosevelt. “Bryan is an ambitious dreamer. He dreamt so mach when he was a strug- gling young lawyer that he had to struggle out of the law. He was a failure. In Congress his sole claim to fame rested on his reputation for tak- ing the floor whenever he got an op- portunity. He may have been a Dem- osthenes, but there is no doubt he was a bore and a nuisance. On the com- mittee on ways and means, the most important in Congress. and the com- mittee charged with the consideration of the tariff, he showed such an utter lack of knowledge on the subject of American industries that his record there now returns to damn him. “Bryan was still dreaming when he burst into the Democratic National convention in 18968 with his ‘Cross of Gold’ specialty and his free silver fal- lacy. To-day he realizes the gold standard is good enough for him and the country. He was dreaming when he said the failare of the country to go into the unlimited coinage of silver would bring untold disaster. His de- feat and that of his theory were suc- ceeded by a decade of” the greatest prosperity in tue history of the country. “Bryan is the veriest tyro in state- craft. As President he would be en- tering into the consideration of ques- tions of momentous interest to this country and the world without any ap- preciation of diplomatic matters. He would appoint a secretary of the treas- ury and run the affairs of that depart- ment without a knowledge of the fun- damentals of finance. If in his treat- ment of matters of state he applied the same rule as that which dictated his conduct in that little affair of the Bennett will, he would simply succeed in hopelessly muddling matters. He has made a success of nothing in life but agitation, chasing one cure-all after another, appealing eternally to the unsophisticated element of our citizenship. “As President of the United States, Bryan would be a joke, a costly, ghast- ly“joke—a joke which would bring dis- aster to the nation and destitution to many a fireside.” A JEWELER’S EXPERIENCE. C. R. Kinger, The, Jewler, 1060 Vir- ginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: “I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy cleared my conplexion, cured my backache and the irregularities dis- appeared, and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to all sufferers as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed.

The deep-sea politicians who are in- ducing Likins to inflict himself on the people of the Twenty-toird Congres- sional district in the hope that he can weaken the personal and political standing of the Hon. A. F. Cooper, will have mueh to answer for from the standpoints of morality and business. A few days ago The Herald had be- fore it the painful task of showing how Likins was devoting his time to casting odium on the conduet of our banks, to the menace of the financial integrity of the community, and despite the fact that some of the most earnest leaders in his own party are in the banking business. Int his speeches in Greene couuty’he attacked the Negro race, saying that of the 2,000 negro voters in Fayette county, the number day could be counted on the fingers of his two hands. the churches, especially those of Union- town. For what reason we do not know, unless it is because the churches of Uniontown, to maintain their re- spect and the confidence of their mem- bers, could do nothing else than re- pudiate him. As one prominent churchman said some time ago: “it looked for awhile as if Likins would join our body. We were certainly afraid, because none of us knew what we would do with him.” In his street speech in Salisbury, Somerset county, last week. before a small audience composed principally of women and children, Likins is alleged to have said that the churches of Uniontown are corrupt, so corrupt in fact that a decent man would not want to enter them. What does this mam mean in a talk like that before womem and children? If the fellow has a spark of sense, he knows that he slanders the places built and dedicated to the wor- ship of Almighty God, and the learned. and Godly men who fill their pulpits and preach the Word to their congre- gations. Is there no institution of God or man safe from the assault’ of this reckless character assassin, business assailant and church vilifier? The people. however, are pleased af: his candidacy for one reason—it has given them a chance to see this indi- vidual unmasked, to size him up bereft of his sheep’s clothing. His political existence is a stench in the nostrils of society. He has done as much damage to his own reputation as he possibly can. and now the sincere temperance workers who heretofore backed him with their cash and influence are be- ginning to find themselves splashed with his mud. tiie een LIKINS IN BERLIN. Following is the way honest and plain-spoken Editor Begley, of the Ber- lin Gleaner, sizes up “Windy Bill” Lik- ins: “We did not have time to listen to W. M. Likins’ speech in Berlin, last night, since time was too valuable. From a portion of it which fell to our ears we fear that some more. prepara- tion for the speech would not have been out of order. “He may be quite an authority om bunks, but when he argues that every bank must publish to the ‘world all the money loaned, to whom loaned, and the name of the indorsers, it cannot well be appreciated by an intelligent audience. “It might be in order for him to ex- plain what he would advocate a bank doing in case of a bogus check coming before them. Should it be honored, or should it not? ; “By his remarks many Prohibition— ists were led to realize that a mistake had been made in the nomination. Prohibitionists seldom split their tick- ets, but we have reason to believe that it is going to be done November 3, since they are nearly all truthful men, and some of them have so declared themselves.” The foregoing remarks from the Gleaner are all the more interesting because of the fact that the Gleaner is owned by Prohibition County Chair- man Fred Groff and other prominent Prohibitionists and temperance work- ers. 3 Winter Courses in Agriculture. Two bundred and twenty-five stu- dents are enrolled in the four and two years’ courses ‘in agriculture at The Pennsylvania State College. Their education is part of the work of our state school of agriculture, but there are other young men needing service. Many persons do not have the time for a college education, but they can give the winter to study. For this reason winter courses in agriculture were es- tablished at the college last year, an@ ninety men were enrolled. They found the lectures and praeti- cal exercises adapted to the need of men who want to increase their earn- ing power. Underlying principles were studied, and practical metheds of dealing with crops, soils, orchards, animals and dairy products were given these young men. They returned to their homes with a desire to encourage others to come to the eollege nexi: winter for study under its practieal scientists. The enrollment will be large. The courses begin December 1st and close February 24th. The as- sociation with hundreds of students im agriculture and the study of problems arising in the every-day life of the farmer make these winter eourses ars opportunity that a bright young man cannot afford to miss. The free illustrated bulletin deserib- ing the five winter courses in agricul- ture is ready for distribution.
