Behold a man of Shopless Town;
His name is Obadiah Brown.
He says the town does not improve,
But runs along its ancient groove.
He'd like to see it spread and grow,
And yet he does not help, you know.
Instead of buying things for sale
Right here in town, he’s sent by mail
For/many years and bought his things
From those faroff Mail Order kings.
No wonder, Obadiah Brown,
This home of yours is Shopless Town!

MR. RooseveLr has aroused resent-
ment in the past ; he has made many
enemies; but public opinion is still
with him rather thin with these des-
perate congressional rhetoricians whose
stock in trade is a mere combination of
temper and epithet.—Providence Jour-
nal.

WE venture to say that no president,
having filled his full term, ever retired
with a greater measure of popular es-
teem than Mr. Roosevelt will have in
- this.country next week. Heis, without
question, the most popular man on the
face of the earth today, and everybody
admits it.—New York Times.
‘Last week Judge Woods, presiding
‘over the court of Mifflin county, Pa..
“{" turned down every one of the applica-
tions for liquor license in that county
The law requires all persons licensed
to sell liquor to be possessed of good
moral character, and in refusing all of
the Mifdin county applicants, Judge
Woods evidently arrived at the same
conclusion that many other people
have arrived at, namely, that no person
) of strictly good moral character ever
did or ever will apply for license to sell
liquor. The laws of Pennsylvania also
require Constables to visit all the sa-
loons in their respective bailiwicks, at
least once a month, and bring to the
court’s attention any violations of the
law that they may see when such
i: visits are made. But like some license-
granting judges, the Constables seldom
see anything wrong about the saloons,
because they dc not want to see any-
thing wrong. * Or, rather, they do not
wish to report what they see. Many of
them prefer to drink free booze and
enjoy a stand-in with the saloon-keep-
"er in preference to fulfilling their oatls
Ei of office. The Judges, too, poor, spine-
less fellows that many of them are,
when it comes to dealing with the rum
devil, usually prefer to grant licenses
to men who ought to be of good moral
character, but which the very nature |
of the business they seek to engage. in
is ample proof that they are not. Jus-
tice is often represented by a female
figure with eyes blinde a bandage.
Justic is also frequently represented
on the Judicial bench by male figures,
or rather figure-heads with eyes blind-
ed to the right and ears deaf to the
pleadings of the wives and children
who are innocent, half-starved suffer-
ers in order that the drunken husbands
and fathers may have the ‘personal
liberty” of planking down all their
earnings on the saloon counter for
booze. In mest of the counties of
Pennsylvania, all kinds of disgraceful
quent.intervals in saloons almost under
the shadow of the temple of justice (?),
but the Judges seldom enter therein,
tor fear that they might see things that
would stand in the way of granting
licenses to such resorts in the future.
Besides, they might soil the holy ju-
dicial’'ermine by entering such places,
and it would be an awful thing to get
the judicial robes dirty in a place
licensed to carry on a business which is
dirty from start to finish, even though
protected by the court’s license.
Granted Another Franchise.
At a meeting of the Somerset Town
Council, last Thursday evening, a fran-
chise was granted to the Pennsylvania
& Maryland Street Railway Company.
This action by the local law-makers
followed a spirited discussion of the
matter, which continued until after
midnight. The privilege granted to
the P. & M. Company is identical with
that how possessed by the Somerset
Street Railway Company, and the
legality of the whole proceeding may
be threshed out in court. The fran=
chise is in the hands of Burgess Welf-
ley, who has not given an intimation of
what action he will take. Council
| passed the franchise by a vote of five
to one.—Somerset Standard.

Last Thursday evening a large num-
ber of the business and professional
men of Meyersdale came to Salisbury
to indulge in a swell banquet, at which
they entertained a goodly mumber of
their Salisbury friends in a way that
will long be remembered by all who
participated. 3 .
The evening was a very stormy and
blustery one, but the raging of the ele-
ments on the outside, made the festivi-
ties and socinbilities on the inside of
our two hotels all the more enjoyable.
‘The larger portion of the jolly crowd
was entertained at the Valley House,
but the banquet was arranged to take
place at both of Salisbury’s hotels, and
the Hay Hotel also had a large number
of guests. a
" At each place a feast fit for the Gods
was spregd, and all agree that the ho-
tels of Salisbury cannot be excelled for
good cooking and plenty of it. A three-
course meal was served at each place,
and the guests and menu were as fol-
dows:

After the banquet short speeches
suitable to the occasion were made at
the Hay Hotel by Editor W. F. Cleav-
er, of the Meyersdale
Merchant G. W. Collins, of Meyersdale,
and Levi Lichliter, of Salisbury.
At the Valley House, Dr. Bruce Lich-
ty officiated as Chairman, after the
banquet, and called upon S.C. Hartley,
one of the most popular and best
known merchants of Meyersdale, to ad-
dress the banqueters and explain the
object of the banquet. Mr. Hartley re-
sponded in a very cleverly worded
speech, in which he very feelingly ex-
pl
and good will between the business
men of Meyersdale and their many
good friends in Salisbury. His remarks
were greatly applauded.
Other short addresses were made by
Wm. B. Cook, Dr. C. P. Large, Rev. J.
J. F. Reich and P. L. Livengood, at the
urgent request of many of the guests.
The speakers were all greatly applaud-

If the remarks made from the bench
yesterday morning by Judge Kooser
are to be taken as a forecast, there are
breakers ahead for some of the appli-
cants for license, whom the Court said
would have some things to explain.
Wednesday of February court is the
regular time for hearing applicants for
license, but being engaged in the trial
of criminal cases, at a heavy expense
to the county, Judge Kooser announc-
ed that the license hearing would be
deferred until the completion of the
criminal list.
The Court announced that he would |
| take up the license applications on |
| Saturday afterrioon, if possible, but |
[that if the court was still engaged in |
| the trial of cases, the hearing would be |
postponed indefinitely. There will be
[vo weeks of Common Pleas court, |
| commencing next week. !
One of the attorneys asked the Court
if he desired to have the applicants |
| present in court, to which Judge Koos- |
|er replied that before some of the li-
censes are granted the applicants will |
have to appear before him and explain |
away some things that have |
the attention of the Court. In those
cases, notice will be given to the appli- |
cant’s attorney. |

BADLY BITTEN BY DOG.
Harvey Stahl in Serious Condition
in Pittsburg Hospital.
A Somerset news dispatch dated Feb.
27th, gives the following details of a
vicious dog’s attack upon a Somerset
man:
“There is considerable excitement in
Somerset as the result of an alleged
rabid dog. A large Newfoundland dog,
owned by J. C. Lowry, bit Harvey
Stahl, an engraver employed in the
jewelry store of Paul L. Casebeer.
Stahl was bitten on the hand, and it is
stated that had he not worn a ring,
his finger would have been severed.
He paid little attention to the wound,
which was inflicted on Monday.
“The wound became sore and inflam-
ed, and Mr. Stahl went to Pittsburg,
where experts at the Mercy Hospital
state that his condition is serious.
This morning the dog, which was quite
valuable, was killed and the head sent
to Pittsburg, where an analysis will be
made, and it will be determined wheth-
er or not the dog was afflicted with
hydrophobia. It is believed that if
this canine had rabies, a dozen other
dogs may be infected. The local offi-
cials are awaiting a report from Pitts-
burg, and if the dog was mad, a revival
of the dog ordinance will be placed in
effect at once, and all suspicious ca-
nines will be killed on sight.”
How Could it Be Otherwise?
The Somerset county constable whose
story that he was tied to a tree and
robbed of $700 of the county’s money
drawn for the purpose of paying fire
wardens, will be kept in the county jail
six months to prevent any future at-
tacks like this upon his official persea
and his official funds. We trust the

covery brought quick relief and a cure
so permanent that I have not been
troubled in twelve years.” Mrs. Soper
