Judge Misinformed.
At the Brookville court last week
there was a case on trial from Ueyn-
oldsvtlle, in which a man was charged
with keeping a disorder. y house. Judge
Reed after listening to the evidence,
took occasion, to Bay in sub-itance that
"I understand that Reynoldsvillo has
more disorderly houses than all the
rest of the county. I want you to know
that the court is aware of thia condi
tion and that I will give the offenders
the extreme penalty in cases of that,
nature from there.'' He then sentenced
the offender on trial to one year in the
penitentiary and a fine of SI. Brook
ville Democrat. - j
While It Is true that Reyooldsville
has more disorderly houses than it
should have, yet we deny the state
ment that Reynoldsvllle Is more cor
rupt In this respect "thin all the rest
of Jefferson county." simply because
some of the good cltiz.-ng of our town
have stirred up the pool ul immorality
and exposed the filthy condition to the
outBlde world, don't Bay we have more
Immoral people than the balance of
the county. If some of the other towns
would stir up the pool they would find
more mire, perhaps, than they think.
However, It Is to be hoped that Judge
Reed, who has ben misinformed so
far as comparison to the entire county
Is concernpd, will give every guilty
person from Reynoldsvllle the limit
of the law for conducting houses of
111 fame.
Patronize Home Stores.
Frequently mention has been mndo
in The Star that one of the great
drawbacks to the prosperity of Reyn
oldsvllle Is the fact that too many of
our citizens, including a number of our
business men, send out of town, or go
to other towns, to buy goods. There
are merchants who will send out of
town for groceries and there are others
who send out of town for dry goods,
furniture, &c, and every one of them
re making their living In Reynolds
vllle. We have had business men re
quest us to call attention to these facts
and the same fellow was sending out
of town for printing. No one can gain
say this statement, and yet It ought
not be so. Thore is not another town
in this section of the state where so
many citizens run to other towns and
cities to buy goods. It is a deplorable
condition but it is a fact just the same.
In many cases they pay more for their
goods than they would pay for the
game thing In Reynoldsvllle. There Is
one thing sure, the fellow who sends
out of town tor goods has no right to
kick if his neighbor sends out of town
for something. It is inconsistent. It
is high time that eyery business man,
at least, be he dry goods merchant,
grocreyman, clothier, banker, butcher
or furniture dealer, resolve that be will
spend his money among the other
business men of town. ' If your neigh
bor don't have what you want, get him
to order it for you. Try this dur
ing this year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and nine and see if it does not
belp the business of our town consider
ably. Advance Guard.
There is no longer a chance for a
doubt. The advance guard of pros
perity has arrived, and the advance
column is but a short distance behind.
Traveling men are smiling the smile
of 1907. Merchants no longer wear the
"beat it" look on their countenances
when the "Kplght of the Grip" ap
pear, and in the air there is a buoy
ancy that can mean nothing else than
good times and lots of it. Punxsu
tawney Spirit. Let 'er come. We have
room for a big slice of prosperity.
Mention was made in th'Is paper a
couple of weeks ago that there were
some places of ill repute in town and
that the mayor bad Issued an edict that
these houses must be closed. One man
was arrested and Is now In the work
house, but there are places, according
to report that come to this office, that
etUl exist. The mayor, police and C0&
Ublo should not let up until the town
J cleaned up.
The Same Here. ,
Scarely a day passes "that the newB
gatherer duet not ' secure a piece of
news that sot.b ona requests him not
to publish. Miht burt reputation or
business or somuthlng of the sort.
Next day the same instu's nnliflinur getB

was so anxious that nothing be 3ttld
about him rut lion Into the olllu with
all the details of his neighbor's trouble.
Punxsutawnuy tipiril.
Fact! We have had puuple come to
us and request thai some unpleasant
ness, which they participated In, be
kept out of The: Star, as It would
reflect on the .amily and hurt feelings,
and It should not be published anyhow,
and the very same people within a year,
have given us Information for what
they considered a spicy article, even
though It would put the guilty parties
In bad repute in the community, but
they "deserve to be exposed." &o. It
makes a vast dllTereuce who the actors
are in the drama of "Misfortune"
whether the affair should be aired or
exposed In a tuwn paper, that is tf the
guilty people, or their friends, are to
decide the matter. The publication of
crime or wrong doing Is very interest
ing news to a number of people as long
as it is tbe other fellow that is the
gulity party.
Scathing Arraignment.
Not long since a New York magis
trate, Whitman by name, in addressing
the New York Lawyers' Club, was
moved to make a most scathing ar
raignment of tho liquor traffic. Ha
said: "Personally, if I had the power
I would close every saloon in the United
States, and I am not a crank or fanatic
on the liquor question. I drink my
self, whenever I care to, and probably
shall continue to do so. I am willing
that every other man shall have the
same rights that I have. But when
you sit on tbe bench that I sit on and
see seventy per cent of the cases which
come before you, and Bee the misery,
distress and crime, all due to liquor
selling I say, any man with red blood
In bis veins is likely to feel that the
world would be better off if tbe liquor
saloons could be crushed out, coet what
It may. I believe it is tbe most
abominable, the most outrageous, and
the most Inhuman Influence In New
Yorkolty." 1
Just a Hint.
There Is no excuse for a live man
to live In a town if he does not like
It. If you bare no word of commen
dation to say for your town, its Insti
tutions or people, emigrate, scoot, get
out. You won't stop the town's growth
if you go or stay because It has grown
briyond tbe bad Influence of, any one
individual. If you go away the church
bells will have the same musical sound
anil the cheerful citizen will be Just
as happy after you have vanquished.
As a part of the community you cut
Ice, but as an Individual you are un
important. Don't overlook these points
when you are asked to talk for your
town. A town Is judged by Its people,
Its progress In morals, improvements
and advancement along the lines of
modern thought and action. DuBots
Express.
Idleness a Gime.
The sooner children are brought to
understand that Idleness Is a crime
and that no amount of flue culture can
make them pass for valuable in tbe
world's eye if they are unable to earn
a livelihood and so must become
"hangers on" for others to support, the
better for them. That daughter who
helps her mother cook and scrub, is
far more worthy than she who only
paints and plays, and obliges her over
worked father to pay a servant that
she may not soil her dainty bands.
Gov. Stuart bas signed tbe bill pro:
vldlng that soldiers; sailors or marines
of tbe war with Spain or any preceding
war who die without sufficient means
to defray their burial expanses shall
be burled at tbe expense of the county,
such expense not to exceed 150.
Governor Stuart has signed the bill
which provides that borough councils
may fix by ordinance tbe salary of the
burgess, such salaries not to exceed
$100 per 1000 for the first 5,000 popu
lation and $50 for each additional 1,000
or majority fraction thereof.
A man's life is to be measured as to
its duration not by years but by char
acter. As the Arabs well say, "A wise
man's day is worth a tool's life."
Length of days is not vouchsafed to
every one, but the ability to live well
is. . -
No matter bow lowly tbe calling,
so long as it is honorable, in which
one is engaged, be glorifies labor, com
mands self-respect and that of others
when he works efficiently.
The man who Is always going to do
and who never does amounts to but
little in this life. What the world
want is not mere intention, however
good, but action.
