'ftfc 7V Star. Subtcriplion jl.OOper year in uilmmx, C. A.flTliPIIKKSON, Editor and Pub WEDN KSDA1 , OCTOBER 24, 1 mm. The Star Is ((lad at all times to give suaee to contributions of general Interest from lis readers and Invites the free expression of personal opinion Is It Fair? In this life of uncertainty when one undertakes to manage any organization his Insight to the rise and fall of the financiul tide becomes greatly enlarged. A grievance occurring in this tid" of events to an individual must be borne by the individual himself, but when It 60 happens in dealing with the general public that a grievance exists it becomes necessary to present it to the people for their wise and deliberate consideration I am told that at a recent foot ball game played between our High School and the team of a neighboring town, from anattendance of overeight hundred ' people the total receipts amounted to ten dollurs and twenty four cents, an average of less than tvvo cents to the person. This amount to some may seem large in itself, but when we preeelve the bill of expense meted out and reach ing towards the twenty dollar mark we cease to think this sum sufficient and turn in a sympathetic mood to the team aspiring for athletic supremacy. Does this seem just? Is it f'lir to a team, who through all kinds of weather battlirt'- against tho opposing elements, turns out to practice, endeavoring by their hard honest efforts to reflect credit upon their town and upon their 6chool? Is it fair that when returning from the field of conquest they should find their noble efforts darkened by an overhanging cloud of debt? Public sentiment seems to clamor with one voice for an inclosed athletic field. But do they encourajo one to back such a procedure whn they refuse to psy two cents a piece in order to see an athletic contest? I think, to be somewhat prophetic, if the town were blessed with such a field, unless 'twere fenced with barbwire, on occasions of special attractions we would find most of our good citizens perched on the topmost limbs of some nearby tree thus the profits would be high Indeed. Never In the history of our High School has a team so contracted the idea that "Prnelice makes the Master," never has a team by the proper spirit shown forth in more resplendent style than the present High School foot-ball team. Should such a team be supported? Should the season pass by without one sign of appreciation shown them? No, no, every good citizen believes in just praise and help for a good cause, and I am fully convinced that this matter need only bo brought once before the public eye to receive sufficient and speedy amends. The man who bates to help a little, places himself in a sphere of isolction at the mention of which the human heart shudders, but he who willingly gives the helping hand implants somewhere the seed that lives and never withers'.

In all measures that ihe people of Jefferson county were Interested In Mr. North U ft nothing undone In the discharge of bis duties. He took especial interest in the Legislative apportionment, whereby Jefferson county gets two represent atives, and will elect two for the first time this fall. Whatever bis pre decessors might have done in trying to get this measure through in the pail, great credit Is due Mr. North for the way In which he stuck to this bill and fought for it clear through to a success ful finish. Then there Is the eight-r.(ur law for the miners in which he took a special Interest. It Is a law which the minors fully appreciate. Also the "garbage" law the original bill for which applied only to cities, but which Mr. North had amended to include towns and township a measure that will surely be a benefit to every citizen of this commonwealth interested In proper hygenic conditions.
