Only Course
The postoflice ruling that goes into effect April 1st will
.make it necessary for us to either pay a largely increased
amount of postage on a large number ot papers sent to sub
scribers who have allowed themselves to get in arrears, or
cut these subscribers from our list. Much as we dislike to
do so, the latter course is the only one left for us to pursue.
Therefore, in compliance with the rulingof the Postoffice De
partment, the publisher of The Star asks all of its subscrib
ers who are one or more years in arrears to make im
mediate payment as all those who do not pay up, or indicate
their intention of doing so, on or before april 1, 1908,
will be dropped from our list and their accounts placed in
the hands of an attorney for collection. Thi3 will not be
done, however, if satisfactory arrangements are made by
the delinquents for the settlement of the amounts now due.1
In the payment of these claims we will accept either cash,
check, money order or note, but it is absolutely necessary
that settlement of all accounts now due must be made before
April 1st, 1908. A second statement of account has been
sent to a number of delinquent subscribers and others will
receive a second statement in a few days.

Hon. Henry I. Wilson, Candidate for
State Senator, Answers the Letter of
the President of the Jefferson Co.
Local Option League.
To C. C. Benscoter, President Jeffer
son County Local Option League:
Dear Sir: Your open letter under
date of Jan.. 24th, 1908, addressed
to the several candidates for state sena
tor In this Pisttict, was duly received
and I take pleasure in giving to you for
publication my answer to Bame.
Tbe first question Ib, "If elected to
the office to which you aspire, will you,
or will you not, use your influence and
vote in favor of submitting to the
people a Local Option Law on the
Liquor Question?"
To that Question I would say it would
depend altogether upon tbe form of
such proposed law and upon tbe desires
of the electors of the Thirty-Seventh
senatorial district. It Is my belief, as a
lawyor, that It is con'rary to the oath
of office which I will have to take if
nominated and eleoUd state senator to
make pledges of any kind which would
In any way place me under the domina
tion of other parties; particularly so if
such pl.iiges should he male for tho
purpose of securing tbe endorsement
and support of thoss who may- advance
particular policies, and the courts of
this state have bo held several times.
Not only that, it would greatly weaken
mv efficiency as a legislator if my nom
ination and election wore brought about
on account of my being for or against
an Issue of this kind. I have been a
total abstainer all my life and believe
in such legislation as will help the cause
of temperance. However, after more
than a year's serious study, I am satis
fied the term "Local Option" Is not as
well understood as vlt should be. My
Idea is that the bill Itself as it may be
proposed at tho nrx l session of the
legislature should in . some manner be
submitted to tho people of this district
for their examination and then they
could express their opinions und de
sires intelligently. It, will be one year
later; people will have hod time to in
vestigate, formulate, discuss, and pro
pose, which would be more satlsfacloiy
to all. If I should be ihe senator from
this district I would c mesuch proposed
measure tu bo puVisd d In full in all
the home papers and ri quest the elec
tors to give me their opinion thereon
by postal card or letter. J have a list
of the voters of this district and could
easily determine whether the bill was
desired by a majority of them. Is there
anything unfair about that? I believe
in majority rule, and let me ask, is it
fair to a candidate to try to tie him up
to an uncertainty and make his nomi
nation and election depend on his per
sonal attitude upon one proposed meas
ure without regard to his qualifications
and Integrity of character?
The second question la, "If elected,
will your Influence, sympathy and vote
as a legislator, be in harmony with, or
in opposition to, tbe policy of tbe Anti
Saloon League of this state along the
line of temperance legislation?"
My answer Is, I would at all times be
for anything that Is right, but aa for
endorsing so uncertain a thing as the
policy of any League for or against
temperance legislation, such policy not
having been definitely defined and sub
mitted to tbe public, I cannot agree to
that, and I say frankly that in mv
judgment any candidate who says "Yes"
unqualifiedly . to that question is not
such a conservative man as would make
a wise legislator or be power In the
senate. I Would have to believe that
be made such promise solely to advanoe
Left to Pursue.
his chances for nomination. A man
who cannot be trusted without being
pledged cannot be trusted even If he is
pledged. I want to be just; I want to
be fair; I want to be conservative. The
term "senator" has always suggested
those three words to me. I am not a
candidate because any particular Bet of
personB (outside of my immediate
neighbors) have requested me to be,
and I have refrained from being Influ
enced for any plan or scheme to secure
votes. I have no enemies to punlBh or
friends to reward. My name has been
submitted in good faith as a loyal Re
publican with tbe confidence' that tbe
Hood people of this district will see that
I have a fair consideration with the
other candidates. With me this cam
paign will not be one of vilification and
abuse: I am a personal frlond of each
of. the other candidates and Intend bo to
remain. It occurred to me that my re
cent training, acquaintance and ex
perience would make me of some use to
the people in the senate, therefore,
without coisultlng any of the "powers
that be" I am a candidate. It Is my In
tention to make a clean, upright, hon
est and active contest for this nomina
tion, but the only pledge I can make is,
I will live up to my oath of office, I shall
bo in my seat at every session exerting
every energy and all my influence to
the cause of wise legislation. My ex
perience as a lawyer for fifteen years,
as Assemblyman one term, and as Jotir-v
nal Clerk of the senate ono term baa
taught me that too much legislation is
attempted and tbe work done too rapid
ly. My policy would be to have fewer
laws passed, but the work far more
carefully done. "The latter could be
forced by compelling tho legislative
body to do everything in its ordor.
In order that the people of this dls
ti let may hear these matters fully I
would suggest that an arrangement be
mado whereby I 'could meet in friendly
public discussion either one or both of
my opponents so I may have the oppor
tunity to listen to their arguments to
sustain their respective positions and
dc fond my own position, that of being
independent.
In closing I would not be just to my
self if I did not ask you publicly (as I
alroady have privately) this question:
D.) you think it was fair and in the in
terest of all the people" that tbe Local
Option League of Jefferson County
should meet on January 20th, 1908, and
have a report of such meeting come out
la tbe Brookville. Republican two days
later saying that the League had en
dorsed one certain candidate for state
senator, and then two days later still,
to-wit, on January 24th, 1908, address
the foregoing quesions to the other
candidates as well as the one who bad
been endorsed?
Sincerely yours,
. Henry I. Wilson.

COCHRANE NOT A CANDIDATE.
Major Beale's Opponent in Armstrong
Co. Has Withdrawn From Contest.
Kittarnlng, Pa , Mar. 11, 1908.
Hon. Jos. G. Beale, ' -
Washington, D.C.
Dear Major: When I announced that
I would be a candidate for Congress it
was with tbe information, which I con
sidered reliable, that you would not be
a candidate to succeed yourself and I
therefore entered the contest with the
assurance of an open Held in our own
county.
Your detormlnation to remain In the
contest for the district nomination,
however, persuades me to withdraw
therefrom and I am writing you this
open letter so declaring to you and
the people of the district.
In the past twenty- years a degree
of confidence has grown up between the
people of Armstrong county and myself
that I trust shall never broken and I
cannot ask my political friends, who
have always been willing' to support
me win or lose so long as I forsaw
success, to follow my lead in a contest
where success seems Impossible.
If tbe Bepublican organization In our
county Is loyal to you there can be
no doubt of your re-election.
Yours very truly,
S. B. Cochrane.
