THE NATIONAL FLOWER
A Pleasing and Successful Performance bv
Home Talent.

On last Friday and Saturday even.
ings large audiences in the opera
house listened with keen delight to the
comic operetta, "The National Flow
err" rendered by home talent under
the direction of Mr.. John Sinclair, of
Ridgway. The operetta was given
under the auspices of the Sewing
Society of Emmanuel church for the
benefit of the pipe organ fund. 1t was
the universal verdict of all who heard
the operetta that no more pleasing en-
tertainment by home talent has ever
been given in Emporium, tribute at
once to the attractive qualities of the
operetta itself, to the energy and en-
thusiasm of the director, and to the
talent of the performers. OF the lat
ter Emporium has just ground to feel
proud.
This operetta, by the well known
composer, Miss Garry B. Adams, is in
its general idea an adaptation of Sulli.
vans "Trial by jury" and some of the
airs are taken directly or arranged
from Sullivan. Various flowers repre-
sented by classes and soloists, present

Regarding Vaccination.

Editor Press
In view of the fact that the State
Health authorities are urging the en-
forcement of the law regarding vacci-
nation and that there are some heads
of families in our own community op-
posed to vaccination, it might be wise
to publish the fact of the results of
State Veterinarian, Leonard Pearson,
MD, Investigations concerning small
pox. After carefully studying the
mortality -'N' both in this coun-
try and abroad, he found that of all the
deaths from all causes, prior to vaccina-
tion, over 80 per cent. were from small
pox, and that since vaccination had be-
come general that this relation was less
than one per cent 1t might be we'll to
also publish the following: "Vaccina-
ton creed" The department of
health, after years of experience with
smallpox and vaccination hereby de-
clares:
"First-That true vaccination-repeated until
it no longer takes,-always prevents smallpox.
Nothing else does.
second That true vaCcinaton-that is vacc-
nation properly done on a clean arm with pure
lymph and kept perfectly clean and unbroken
afterwards-never did and never will make n

"Third-That such a vaccination leaves a char
acteristic scar, unlike that from any other cause
which is recognizable during life and is the only
conclusive evidence of a successful vaccination.
"Fourth-That no untoward results ever fol-
low such vaccination; on the OF 'er hand, thous-
ands of lives are annually 'rifced through
the neglect to vaccinate-a nek ect begotten of
lack of knowledge"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular 0orrespondent.)
Washington, Sept. 9th, 1908.

Washington, Sept. 9th, 1905.
Editor Press:-
There are numerous indications
that the railroads of the country
are preparing to offer the private
car lines now doing business to
their lines as a sacrifice to the
Presidents demand for railway
rate legislation at the next session
of Congress and if that is rejected
as insufficient to defy the Presi-
dent and trust to the powerful in
fuance of their lobby in Washing
ton and to the voters of the mem
bers of Congress whom they own,
body and soul, to prevent the
enactment of any legislation which
would not prove to their liking.
While this impression was gained
some time ago, both from talking
with prominent railroad men in
Washington and from the charac-
ter of the testimony presented be-
fore the Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce, but it has re-
ceived strong confirmation from
the tenor of the replies of the rail-
roads to the questions addressed to
them by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the subject of pri-
vate refrigerator car lines.
Thus far four important rail-
roads have signified in writing
their determination to make furth-
er contracts with the private car
companies and to conduct their
own refrigerated freight system.
These are the Michigan Central,
the Pere Marquette, the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the IL
linois Central railways, all of whose
lines have proved especially profit
able fields to the rapacious private
car companies. While these are
the only lines which have thus
signified their intention, there are
numerous others which have given
indications of IA similar purpose
and there is ground for the belief
that the campaign instituted by
President Roosevelt will at least
serve to relieve shippers from the
extortion of the private car COM
panies and to remove from the diff
ficult railway equation this import
ant factor in the creation and
maintenance of trusts.
