P0STMASTERS AND
POSTAL CLERKS
This Is For You.

Almost everyday some SUBJ
scriber says to us: II am not
getting my paper regularly,
what's the matter? Are you
sending it to me?" Our ans
wer invariably is: 1--WE GER
tainly are::" Which is the
truth. Each and every SUBJ
scriber, on our list has a paper
sent to him or her each week
and they leave the West Lib
erty Postoffice. Where does
the fault lie? We have asked
this question before but still
complaints come in.
Listen-It only takes 2 cents
to carry a letter to the Post
master General. The next
time a complaint of this kind
reaches us we will be forced
to write to the Postmaster
General and give him the name
Of the Postoffice at which the
complainant gets his mail, to-
gether with the names of all
the offices through which the
paper would have to pa S
to reac h it's destination,
and ask that an inspector be
sent to investigate matters.
There is something wrong
somewhere and this is meant
for the wrongdoer and none
other.

PENNSYLVANIA
300 Persons Drown in Great Flood
Saturday Afternoon.

| With a roar that could be heard
for miles, the great dam Of the
Bayless Pulp and Paper Company
at Austin, Pa. went out at 2;30
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Forty bodies were recovered
from the ruins when darkness
came and it is estimated that ne.
arly three hundred unacocunted
for and are believed to be dead.
The dam, which was $50 feet
long and 40 feet high, held back
more than 500 million gallons Of
water. For the first time since
it's construction two years ago
the water was running over the
top and many persons went out
from Austin a mile and a half
away to see the unsual sight.

Highest Bridge on American Con-
tinent.

High bridge, which spans the
Kentucky river on the Queen &
Crescent route, was thoroughly
tested out last week and formal
ly opened to traffic. it is the
highest bridge spanning a navi-
gable stream on the American
continent and is said to be the
most massive structure of its
length and breadth known to the
civilized world, The sustaining
capacity is 1900 tons.
In the erection of the wonder
full span more than two million
and two hundred thousand rivets
were required. Over two years
were spent in the manufacture
of the various great steel section
that were combined to produce
this marvellous product of Amer
lican skill and genious, frog1

to the waiter in the river below
the distance is 800 feet.
In laying the double track
across the bridge 14O.0 pounds
of steel rails and 1000 cross ties
were used, the span being 1,223
feet in length. Picturesque

Trust? What party has fostered
it, nourished it, protected it?
In the early days of the labor
ing mans advent into politics the
republican ridiculed the idea of
Trusts They laughed William
Jennings Bryan to scorn as late
as 1896, and said, "Why, fool,
there amt no sich things no
how" But now, since progress
i've Democracy has torn the mask
from republican graft and ex-
posed the Trusts, the republicans
are running over one another in
hypocritical haste oswat swat"
the Trusts; but nobody has ever
known them to hit the Trusts
anything but loye-licks yet.
The American people basked
supincly in semi-prosperity until
Graft had fastened it's fangs in
the arteries of commerce; and
now, thoroughly awakened, they
have risen in their might to slay
the monster. The first distinct
token thunderd across the CONT
nent last fall-Democratic Vic
tory. With thongs of freemen's
ballots they are scourging the
thieves from the temple.
In shame for his party, with
out a word of defense for its
national crimes, Judge O'Rear is
beseeching the people of Ken
lucky to disregard the national
attitude of the party he stands
for. Why SO? The national Re-
publican party is composed of
the various State organizations.
State supremacy is a prime factor
Of national supremacy. Should
the candidates on the Republican
State ticket win in 1921, every
mothers son of them will use
his heightened influence to pro-
mote republican victory in 1912.
The relation is a vital one, and
