THE STAR VXDER XEW
MEXAGEMEXT.
',, With s issuo The STAR-appears
tinder new management. Having been
a resident of Reynoldsville for over
twentv vet.rs, and connected with The
Star for over thirteen years In every
capacity from ."devil" to managing
editor, no in assuming the final role
of owner, we feef that we need no
introduc(.li n to The Star's patrons or
the people of Reynoldsville and for this
reason we feel u curious reluctance to
make any extended statement at the
present time. What THE STAR has
been In the past is known to all; as to
th'i future, we prefer to let the future
epcak for itsell.
. We have but one request to make
to our patrons at this time. It is
that all persons make prompt settle
ment of standing accounts, both sub
scription and advertising, and thus en
able us to add new equipment and im
prove the service rendered.
It takes but one ride in an auto over
country roads to transform one into an
ardent advocate of good roads.
' Punxsutawney, like Reynoldsville,
has a fine silk mill, but the silence of
the grave reigns in both. Punxsy's
mill has neyer operated an hour, due to
''depression in the silk market."
Traveling men Bay Reynoldsville
business and industrial conditions are
better than in any other town in the
coal region. The depression In the
coal business has almost killed business
In many places.
It reflects little credit on the council
of Punxsutawney that after its leading
newspaper has been pleading for six
weeks to have the public streets
cleaned, claiming they are the dirtiest
In this section, the municipal body re
mains somnolently Inattentive.
The death of Jacob TIufT, known all
over the United States by his
pseudonym of "Faraway Moses," will
b) noted with sorrow by thousands who
grew familiar with his homely
philosophy in Grit during the last
quarter of a century. There were many
more eloquent writers than "Faraway,"
but few who appealed to the common
people more forcibly.
. The Superior Court handed down a
decision last week affecting school
districts all over the state. A county
court had ruled that a school district
was bound to pay the tuition of pupils
"from Its district attending high school
In an adjoining district, regardless of
whether or not It maintained a high
school of Its own. The Superior Court
rules that a school district maintaining
a high school is not bound to pay the
tuition of pupils to attend high school
elsewhere.
"Honesty and devotion to duty are
' not essential elements of success In
Pennsylvania politics. They ought to
be, but careful observation has convinc
ed me that the people of this state, In
spite of professions to the countary, will
rally to the standard of a shrewd and
successful man sooner than to that of
the sincere and rigidly upright man.
The day has not yet come in Pennsyl
vania politics when you can appeal
successfully to the higher moral ideals
Of the voter in political campaigns. He
is always willing to look out for himself
at the expense of the state." Hon. M.
S. Quay as quoted by Hon. W. O.
Smith.
Six months ago Rldgway was about
the gloomiest town in the state, caused
by the prospect of losing industries and
4y the heavy fire losses. In the crisis a
dormant board of trade was revived,
active work to improve conditions com
menced and to-day the town Is rescued
from its peril and new life is manifest
ing Itself among the citizens. Follow
ing the announcement that through the
efforts of the board of trade a big in
dustry has been induced to remain with
them, a "boosters' meeting" was called
to enlist the aid of all the citizens for a
campaign of town booming. Organiza
tion is the only sure means of carrying
forward such work.
In connection with the proposed es
tablishment of a savings bank' in Reyn
oldsville, it is interesting to note an
official report showing that in one year
128,146 Individuals in the United States
took out money orders aggregating
' $8,104,447, each order being made pay
able to the purchaser. These orders
were, issued in the first nnd second class
postofflces alone, the olliclal investiga
tion nptextanding to the smaller offices.
It was the widespread usj of this
method of maklDg a savings bank of the
local postofflce that brought about the
citation la f vor of the recently passed
The banks' enrolled in the new
Central BankeT'a Association have a
combined capitalization of $4,500,000
nnd a combined surplus of 83,000.000,
making the actual capital employed
$8,100,000. The total deposits In the
banks exceed $21,000,000.
It is early yet for commencing the
political primary campaign of 1911, but
aspirants in various parts of the county
are letting it be known that they will
enter the race. From present indica
tions there will be a lot of old familiar
faces among the gentlemen who will
shake our hands so genially next spring.
A nerson can now he fined $200 if he
takes from the poatoflle mall which has
been put into his box by mistake, and
does not return it at once. The, law
applies to newspapers as well aa letters.
The excuse that you found it in your
box and that it was the fault of some
employe of the postofflce will net
relieve you of responsibility. Wrong
mail coming Into your possession must
be returned at once.
Farmers near Reynoldsville are com
mencing to plant alfalfa In lMrge tracts.
It Is claimed that an acre ol good
alfalfa produces twice as much digesti
ble nutriment as an acre of red clover
and It is therefore profitable for the
farmers to make every effort to establish
alfalfa fields. The climate Is favorable
to Its cultivation and It can be grown In
a variety of soils the best being a
gravelly loam with a porous sub-soli.
"Coming, as I do, from a rural
county, I appreciate the Importance of
good roads. Much progress has been
made In that direction. Much more
remains to be done. The concensus of
opinion in which I heartily concur, la
that there should be a more compre
hensive system of state wide road Im
provement and that all the highways
of the Commonwealth sr.all be Bpeedlly
and permanently Improved." From
John K. Tener's speech of acceptance.
William H. Berry, nominated by the
'third party" men for governor of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia recently
is an excellent type of the commonplace
man who achieved accidental fame
and has more than held his own ever
Blnce, with no other quality to recom
mend him than personal Integrity.
As an orator he does not rank with the
auerairo country lawyer; he Is not
prepossessing in appearance and lacks
the personal magnetism to enthuse the
people. Shrewd steel eyes alone be
tray the energy and ambition of the
man.
Thore Is food for serious thought In
the remarks of Sheriff Caldwell, of
Butler, who recently attempted to
enforce Sunday closing laws in Butler
and found himself hopelessly alone In
his crusade: "When people with
Bibles under their arms and prayers
warm on their lips, patronize ice cream
factories and soda water fountains I
have ordered closed, in enforcement of
the Sunday laws, I am ready to give It
up." His experience duplicates that of
a Reynoldsville burgess a few years ago,
Theoretically the average christian is
In favor of Sabbath observance
Practically many of them are directly
responsible for Its violation by patronlz
lng the places kept open and rerderlng
It more profitable to do business and
pay a fine than remain closed.

The Soldier Rur4 Railroad Is a certainty.
This road has been under contemplation so
long, and lta immediate construction has
been so frequently'agltated that the word
has become almost.. .proverbially mythical
Whether the parties who in the past planned
building this road practiced deception Inten
tlonally or not, we do not venture to say, but
leave It to the discretion of our readers. One
thing is certain, that for the past three years
this vicinity has been vainly hoping for and
depending In a large measure upon the com.
pletlon of this enterprise as the surest means
of bringing prosperity to our people. A road
up Soldier Run will amake an outlet for a
number of collieries on either side of the line
and hence it is looked upon as being of vital
importance in connectlonwlthotherdovelop.
