FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 24, 1913. where the property owners and others had been requested by the Civic Organization to put it, in order to have it hauled away. In view of this one fact, what can the citizens of Bedford expect from Simon, as Chief Burgess, along the line of civic improvement? He has openly and bitterly attacked, abused and vilified those in authority in the discharge of their official duties; has referred to CURSE AND CRIME Go Hand in Hand With the Licensed Saloon. The Temperance Society of Saxton Borough and Liberty Township, representing the temperance sentiment of a borough and a section which has had an unusual opportunity of observing the blessings enjoyed by a no- license community, issued the following statement to the people of Bedford and Huntingdon Counties: honest and upright men as grafters, Saxton was without a licensed' sa- hypocrites and thieves.

Piper's for this office are far from heing an issue. Few people -who know him will question Tiis ability to fill the office with credit and He will advance the best interests of the town wherever possible and he can be trusted to face the foe wherever doubt exists. Mr. Piper will never sidestep. He will weigh carefully every measure and act with his best judgment, and will esteem the office of Chief Burgess a public trust--nothing more, nothing less shamefully cursed and abused, over the telephone, the men in charge oJ the electric light plant, when, by chance, a belt would break or some other little accident would occur, whereby the current would be shut off for a few minutes.

If he is to be judged by previous actions and expressions, he is in favor of an open Sunday and gambling of any and of all kinds. He has used more profane language on the public streets and in the presence of children and ladies, than any other person we know of. He has attempted to have men, who were faithful employes, discharged from their positions, simply because they did not agree with him on certain matters. In fact, Simon has been opposed to anything that stands for the civic, moral and spiritual benefit of the town, and yet, Mr. Voter, he has the audacity to ask you to help make him, by your vote, the chief executive officer of our borough.

Will you give your support to a man of this calibre or will you vote for William R. Piper, a gentleman, who as chief of our fire department, has given his best efforts for nearly fifteen years to protect your properties and homes from flames? Look hack, Mr. Property Owner, but a few years and recall the numerous fires Bedford had when whole sections of the town were threatened with destruction and how Mr. Piper, by his good judgment, and by his noble and hazardous work, aided by members of the fire company, extinguished the to 1904, when, despite the protest of three-fourths of our people, the saloon was thrust upon us for five years. Since 1910 we have again been without license.

Hence we have been in a peculiar position to see the blessings of a no-license as compared to the curse and crime which go hand in hand with the saloon. We do not hesitate to say that the granting of license in our town increased the amount of drunkenness, disorder and crime, while money was diverted from legitimate channels of business and used for drinking and debauchery instead. While we regret that it is possible for men to secure strong drink in a saloonless town, yet we know that these same means of securing drink exist, even when the saloon is wide open. We have found too that those who secure "booze," when the saloon not licensed, are nearly, if not en- all confirmed drinkers, while the licensed saloon is a temptation, with doors wide open, to every young man. We say positively that the icensed saloon ruins homes, blights noble ambitions, destroys character, debauches manhood and debases womanhood.

We accordingly denounce as infamously wicked all at- to license that which at its best can do no good and which at its worst sends men to untimely graves and into a dark eternity. Therefore, knowing full well the benefits of a no-license community, and at the same time having been forced to see the dire results of the licensed saloon, we urge the voters of Bedford County to vote for Anthony Sammel, the no-license candidate for Associate Judge. We also call upon the voters of Huntingdon County to support E. M. Beers and W.

B. McCarthy, the two no-license candidates Saxton Liberty Temperance Society A. H. Reddinger, Pres. C.

Piper. Don't you think he deserves the honor of being at the head of our town? Vote for him. He did not seek the nomination for this office The office sought the man and you can feel sure that he will give all a "square deal." PUBLIC MEETINGS 'o Be Held at Various Places by No- License Advocates. The No-License Campaign Commit- ee for Bedford County will hold non-partisan public meetings in the nterest of Anthony Sammel, the no- icense candidate for Associate Judge, follows: Monday, October 37, 7:30 P.

Clearville, in Monroe Township. Speakers, Hon. John T. Matt of Everitt; Rev. F.

J. Matter of Everett, and Rev. John Bennett of Artemas. Able speakers will be supplied for meetings wherever needed, if the persons desiring the same will provide suitable buildings in which to hold the meetings and will arrange Simon Oppenheimer, candidate for Chief Burgess on the Republican ticket, should be defeated for this high and honorable borough office. He is a self-nominated candidate.

He was not the choice of the Republican leaders prior to the meeting or caucus of some of the members of that party. As stated two weeks ago in these columns, another man had been asked by the Republican party leaders of the horough to be their candidate and, when he appeared at the meeting, he discovered that Oppenheimer had a petition and was circulating it to secure signers. The young man then refused to permit his name to be used as a candidate. Simon's petition, along with those of the other Republican candidates, was filed in the County Commissioners' office, and his name was printed on the Republican party ballot. At the primary election his name was "scratched" by some of the Republican voters and Mr.

Piper's name was inserted in the blank apace on the ticket, which goes to show that Simon was not the unanimous choice the voters of that party. No effort was made to defeat him at the primaries and, naturally, being the only name on the ticket for that particular office, he received the nomination, but his vote was far short of that of the other Republican party candidates, another evidence that his part did not a him. But Simon wants to be Bedford's chief executive. What for? That's the question of the hour, and, if we are to judge from his attitude toward respected and honored people the community, and his pronounced feelings on matters pei taming to i betterment of the town, one can guess what he wants the office for. He has been opposed to any and all civic movements.

Several years when the Civic So- cie'y was organized, mainly for the purpose of cleaning up the filth that h.xd accumulated, both on private and public property, and for the bringing about of a "Bedford Beautiful," Simon denounced the people at the head of the organization, and at a meeting of the Board of Trade, of which Oppenheimer was a member hat time, bitterly attacked the and opposed the organiza- i contributing $10 toward defraying ihe expenses or naming trie rub- etc from the alleys and streets, George W.

Mr. Amick served in two enlistments, in all fifty-two months, in the Civil War. From April 26, 1861 to May 26, 1864, he was in Co. 8th Regiment Reserve Pa. Vol.

Infantry. He was also a prisoner for forty days at Castle Thunder and Libby. After the war he lived one year at Clearville, then "bought the farm where he lived for 47 years and where he died. He improved his farm by putting up new buildings, planting and grafting fruit trees. He was for many years a member of the M.

E. Church and when the congregation at Clearville was organized by Rev. W. G. Furgeson, he became its first class leader.

He was a good soldier, an industrious and patriotic citizen, and an earnest, self- sacrificing member of the church. His remains were carried to their last resting place by the following old soldiers, his pall bearers, viz: Harvey Grubb 'and John Dodson, of Clearville; Josiali G. Leasure of Everett R.

21, 1913. Miller-Wolfe The wedding of Miss Allene Wolfe of Fisher to wn r( and Clark E. Miller of Johnstown was solemnized at noon on Wednesday, October 15, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Nathan Wolfe, Fishertown, Rev. J.

S. Fulton, superintendent of the Allegheny Conference of the United Brethren Church, officiating. The attendants were Miss Alva Wendel and Clay Wolfe, brother of the bride, both of Fishertown. A fine wedding dinner was served and the bridal pair left eastern honeymoon. They will reside in Johnstown, where the groom is employed.

Did He Mean It? A few years ago, in the presence of a number of ladies and gentlemen and several little boys, Simon Oppenheimer, in front of his store, in a loud voice and with upraised hand, made the following expression: "Come around to my store Sunday morning and I will sell you anything you want, and the first that comes in there I will blow his brains out. I will be there with a double-barreled shot gun." (The dashes represent words that are unfit to print, and we do not want boys and girls to know the kind of man who would be at the head of our town in the event of his election.) Be honest, Mr. Voter, would you want a man to be your Chief Burgess, who would give vent to his feelings in this manner? Well, we certainly would pity the poor unfortunate who might be brought before Simon for a hearing, particularly one who was unfriendly to the self-nominated candidate for Burgess. 'Nuf 'Ced.

HECKERMAN LETTER Fort Bedford Products Made From the Best of Materials. Clarksburg, W. October I have written you before from this hustling city in West Virginia. There are many glass factories and factories of various kinds here. The fuel by which most of these are run is natural gas and the board of trade offered H.

C. Heckerman all he might need for three years if he would move his plant here. That was after he burned out several years ago. This was brought to my mind a few days ago by my friend, Gaylord, one of the nicest men with whom I have to deal. I was in a drug store the' other day in this city when, a man came in and, stepping up to the soda counter, said in a hurried tone of voice, "plain soda." The German boy who was evidently fresh at the soda counter said, "You haf vanilla or you haf lemon," calmly inquired the teutonic lad.

"Plain soda without syrup. Did you not understand me?" demanded the stranger. "Yes, I understand," came from the boy whose placid countenance did not change in expression, "but what kind of syrup you vant him mitout, mitout vanilla or mitout lemon? "Both." A Baltimore lawyer tells of the peculiar plight of an Irishman summoned as a witness in a burglary trial in the "city. It was apparent from the start that the witness was much alarmed and rattled by his unsought and undesired prominence in this trial. "Remember Casey," said the judge who was presiding, "that you have s.vorn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." "Yis, your honor," stammered Casey, his eyes wavering from the judge to the jury and back again.

"An I'll do the very best I can, but I hope ye gintlemen will be a trifle aisy on me at the start for I'm a little used to that sort of thing." I think that it was Mark Twain who said in one of his literary efforts when giving advice to friend about what he should do when he came to the gate where St. Peter had charge. "Leave your dog outside. Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stop outside and the dog would go in." No man, however, who knows himself will fail to find in these amusing words something more than a sense of humor.

St. Peter once, we will say a year ago, heard a knock at the gate, he opened the wicket and there stood Washington, the father of his country, asking for admittance. St. Peter reported to the Lord who told him to bring in Washington and sit him down to his right. Again there was a knock, and St.

Peter in opening the wicket saw Abraham Lincoln who asked to be admitted. St. Peter reported the fact to the Lord, saying that Lincoln, the martyred president of his country, was outside and desired to enter. "Admit him and set him down Most Headaches Result of Eyestrain EYESTRAIN, being the most Common cause of nervous derangement, may disturb any function of the body.

He quickly closed the wicket and said, "Oh, Lord, run for your life, Roosevelt is out there." The present style of dress is very disgusting. To see ladies go along the street with their dress skirts down to the ground and a semi-circle sheet iron hoop fastened in the lower hem, raking mud, cigar snipes, banana skins and peach seeds as she walks along until she gets a hatfull 'or more then she must stop and lift up this rake and drop the load that she has brought along from other crossing.
