Quay’s Work in Politics. Senator QUAY’s friendship has been like a pestilence to those on whom it has been bestowed. His confidences have brought nothing but death or dishonor. . At least two suicides, as many mysterious disap- pearances and almost innumerable deaths from drunkenness or dispair have been’ the harvest of his intimacy. There is no par- allel in recent history. Novelists «tell of such things as in the wierd story entitled «The Sorrows of Satan,’’ in which the evil spirit embodied hrought grief and misery to every one who listened to his enticing tongue. But even he had no such a record of wretched operations as QUAY. To enumerate them would cause pain probably to innocent hearts and every wan of middle age who is fairly tamiliar with the politics of Pennsylvania understands. But of all the wrecks of intellectual and physical manhood which QUAY has made the most pitiable is that of his cousin SAM. In the past QUAY has been kind to that senile old man, according to popular under- standing. When the fact was revealed that he couldn’t make a living practicing law in Philadelphia, the Senator procured from our own townsman, General BEAVER, a commission for him as common pleas Judge. General BEAVER owed PENNY- PACKER nothing. He had bitterly opposed the election of our distinguished fellow ‘citizen. But he was QUAY’S cousin and ‘in need and General BEAVER appointed him. Since that QUAY bas thrown any- thing in his way that he could until the old man has been able to acquire consider- able property. But all these favors is poor compensation for the cruelty of sending him out before the people to chatter like an idiot to the disgust of all who hear him. For example in Franklin, the other day, he said that ‘‘this country did not hecome a nation until GEORGE G. MEADE wrote with his sword the final interpretation of the constitution of his country on the rocks of Culp’s Hill and Round Top.” What ‘consummate rubbish that is to talk in a community that was once known through- out the State as ‘‘the Nwmsery of Great Men,”’ becanse of the conspicuity of its citizens in the affairs of the State and'Na- tion. What Judge PENNYPACKER meant was that the country had never been able to dispense with swaddling elothes until QUAY bad come into public life. . But asa matter of fact the country owes nothing to Quay but the infamous record he has made in debauching the public life .of Pennsyl. vania. + For corrupt sshiemes he has had a genius‘and almost from the time that he went to Harrishurg as the private secretary of Governor CURTIN until now, his pathway through life has left the slime of an un- cleau and vicious thing. ——————————— No county official would go further or do more for you than ALEX ARCHEY. He has been a faithful official for three years. Give him another term. ————————— Quack Doctor Shaw’s Treatment. The Secretary of the Treasury is still spending most of his mental energies in try- ing to save the Wall street speculators from financial panics. A few weeks ago he vast- ly increased the government deposits in favored banks with the result that there was a momentary relief that was soon for- gotten in the dread of a stringency which was again impending. = Then’ be repealed the reserve fund provisions of the national banking law after the fashion of the Czar of Russia, which likewise softened things down for a few days and was followed by a squeeze that was tighter than ever. Now he is trying to induce the holders of bonds to surrender them: by offering big pre- miums. The truth of the matter is that all these expedients are temporary and mischievous. So long as the policy of the government is to levy @nd collect excessive taxes and hoard the proceeds of the operation either in the sub-treasaries, the vaults of the fav- ored bands or waste them in paying bonuses on government obligations not due, there will be trouble. The remedy for such national complications as Quack Doctor SHAW is treating is to Jeave all the money which they earn in the pockets of the people except such amounts asare actually necessary to administer the government economically and wisely. Those who earn the money know how to put it iuto circu- lation in a way that it will do good. Mr. SHAW may give another temporary relief to the shorts in Wall street by pay- ing them the present premium aud inter- est to maturity for bonds which will not be due until 1924. © The interest for twenty- two years on a big batch of bonds is a snug nest egg for a:fortune, but it helongs to the people and is not the property of Secretary SHAW which he may give away when his fancy inclines him to be beneticent. If the taxes taken from the people were limited to the actual necessities of the goveraninent, there would be no surplus in the treasury to tempt Mr. SHAW to play Bountiful to speculators but there would he a good deal of money in-the pockets of the people which could be used to advantage. Impose the Penalty. The Harrisburg Star-Independent declares that the business men of Philadelphia should be held responsible if the election frands which have in past years worked an “infamous subversion of the popular will,” are repeated this year. ‘Philadelphia is on trial in the forum of popular opinion,” remarks our capital city contemporary. “If repeaters, colonizers, ballot thieves and returned forgers be again permitted to per- form their nefarious work, at the election in that city, the people who will thus be swindled out of their electoral rights will hold to a rigid responsibility, the men of Philadelphia who have made and can un- make the ASHBRIDGES, and DURHAMS, and LANES and McNicHOLS. ‘‘The manufac turers and merchants of Philadelphia,” our contemporary continues, ‘‘who have been peculiarly instrumental in placing the. present municipal regime in power must take the blame if Philadelphiashould again fail to hold an honest and fair election.” We fully and freely agree with that state- ment and concur in all that it implies. The merchants of Philadelphia have no right to expect the friendship and patronage of citi* zens of other sections of the State and other States who believe in justice in politics, as well as business, if they even passively con- sent to such a base perversion of the fran- chise in that city. That they have done so is no longer a matter of conjecture. It is: an absolute certainty that year after year they subscribe funds to pay the expenses of the political machine which is maintained for that purpose. If the profits which ac- crue to them from the patronage of mer- chants and citizens who abhor such methods in politics were withheld they would have less money to thus squander for the promo- tion of crime. They have plenty of time between now and the election to deliberate this proposition. Meantime the honest people of the State should prepare to im- pose the penalty if the Philadelphians fail ‘in their duty. There is something more than the spoils of office involved in this question. * There is a fundmental principle similar to that which influenced the founders of - the Re- public to east off the sovereignty of Great Britain rather than submit to the nsurpa- tion of their rights and the subversion of sacred. Are the people of Pentsylvani less courageous now than they were then? Has the acquisition of wealth and learning perverted their natures instead of adding to their love of liberty? If they longer permis this over-riding of their voice and votes by the wretched hirelings of a venal plutocracy which they themselves created, then they are no longer fit to be even the slaves of the heroes whose names they dis- honor and whose memories they shame. This ie the problem which is to be solved immediately following the coming election. If Philadelpbia’s vote is debauched this year the just penalty should be imposed on those responsible. ——A cleaner, more reputable young man has never been before the voters of Centre county than is JOHN C. ROWE, of Philipsburg. There is not a single reason why he should not receive yout vote and you are doing yourself an injustice if you do not support him. Vote for ROWE. Something You Have Forgotten. 1% is only fair, at this time, to call the attention of some communities in Centre county to a little matter they bave evi- dently forgotten. A matter that reflects on their generosity as well as brings into serious question their inclination to be fair and do for others who have been helpful to them. : . For the last two years tliere has not been a man in Centre county whose services have heen more continuously in demand at picuics, festivals, reunions and fete days of various social and- fraternal orders than Capt. HuGHS. TAYLOR. The young officer came home from the Spanish-American war with a record to be proud of. Capt. TAY- T.OR’S name was on every person’s lips and he was wanted on all sides, and not alone for purely friendly purposes, for you know well enough that his presence at festivals and fraternal picnics was used as an ad- vertising medium to get people to them. Caps. TAYLOR never refused one such re- guest, but paying his own expenses all the time and sacrificing bis business ‘many times he went to contribute whatever he was able to to the success of such entertain- ments. Now he is asking the people of Centre county to elect him Sheriff and we understand that some of the very com- | munities that have used him to advertise their big days, seem to have forgotten the old belief that one good turn deserves another. ——1f vou want a Recorder who will be pleasant and zzreeable in the office ROWE is the man you want. ——STROHM lias the office itch very bad indeed, but he will be scratched good and proper on November 4th, | BELLEFONTE, PA., OCTOBER 24, 1902:¥ A United Effort Against the Machine. Nobody with common sense will be de- ceived by the claim of the machine leaders that their State ticket will have the usual large party majority. When QUAY claims 200,000 in the State, and ASBRIDGE Says, that Philadelphia will give a majority of 100,000, everybody of ordinary intelligence knows that they are bluffing. To assume that the coming election will have sucha result is placing an estimate upon their in- telligence and civie virtue that is an in- sult to the people of Pennsylvania. ~ Such political degenerators as the imme- diate dependents and supporters. of the machine may expect that QuAyism will get its usual support at the polls this year, but to suppose that the iniquitous mal-ad- ministration which prevails in the State, apparent to every sensible citizen, will re- ceive the endorsment of the majority of the voters, is to suppose that the people have lost their sense of civic morality, and have bedome incapable of self-government. : There can be no question that outside of Philadelphia QUAYism, and the public corruption it implies, will be repudiated by a large majority. Hostility to the ma- chine extends beyond the Democratic or- gauization. It has effected thousands of Republicans who are disgusted with the rule of the party boss, and regard the cor- ruption of QuAYism as a disgrace to their party, as well as a dishonor and injury to their State. » This large body of Independent Repub- ‘licans see nothing in the pending contest that involves «national issues, but view it as a question of honest and reputable state government that can be secured only by the overthrow of a vicious political machine. Aversions to this malignant power ex- tends throughout our misgoverned and dishenored Commonwealth. A large ma- jority of the rural voters are arrayed against the corruption that has been injur- ious to the farming interest, and the labor- ing class are displaying a determination to drive from power the political ringsters whe have neglected to legislate for the “benefit of the working people while cater- ingito the capitalists. Ip all parts of the State there is a revolt against machine misruale. It is Phila delph pat; and it will endeavor to effect this: | the principles which they held dear and | that may save its state ticket from ‘by resorting to more than its usual amount of ballot frauds. But the voters in the country districts may be assured that suc- cessful efforts are being made to reduce the fraudulent city vote to the lowest limit. Philadelphia Democrats and Inde- pendent. Republicans are alike interested in restaining the machine’s repeaters and ballot box stuffers, and are working to- gether with that object. Factional differ- ence in the city Democracy have been amicably settled; it has been thoroughly reorganized and will poll its full vote. It remains for the opponents of QUAYism in the country districts to bring ous a full Democratic and Independent Kepublican vote, and the restoration of honest govern- ment in this Commonwealth will be as- sured. — The matter of Auditors is an im- portant one to the tax paver. With men who would he indifferent to their work or pass over it in a slip-shod way there would be no check upon tbe work of other county officials, therefore it is necessary that you should throw every safe-gnard about the county business. JoAN H. BECK and WiLLiaM H. TIBBENS are trustworthy men. pay taxes themselves and know where the money comes from. They are just the kind of men to entrust with the duties of Auditor, besides, they have served three years and know the routine so well that they would be more likely to detect errors than others. Vote for BECK and TIBBENS. ——1In A. G. ARCHEY Centre county has an official who has been most assiduous in his attention to duty, most courteous in his treatment of the public and most thor- ough in his management of the office of Register. If an honorable, sober, open- hearted man is the kind you admire you can’t help being a friend of ALEX ARCHEY. He has peculiarities, of course. We all have them, but there is character there and a heart that would do anything under the sun for you, in need or distress. ; -—TFew candidates for office impress the people with their fitness for a particular place like W..J. CARLIN is impressing the people of Centre county with the belief that he is the proper man to be made Treasurer. His life-long business train- ing, unquestioned. integrity and mature years recommend him as the man par ex- cellence for this important trust. ——The friends of Judge LovE in Cen- tre county must remember to turn in and work like Turks for PHIL. FOSTER, be- cause, if FOSTER is elected, he will put all the county funds in the HASTINGS bank. And they all. know how hard that institu- tion will work for the Judge when he bhe- comes a candidate again in 1904. Honest, hard working farmers who Roosevelt's Last Bluff, If President ROOSEVELT imagines that he is deceiving anybody by such fake reform spasms as his recent order censuring QUAY for violating the civil service laws by com- pelling federal office. holders to make con- tributions to the campaign fund, he is greatly mistaken. The people of this State have come to understand ROOSEVELT and take him at his actual value. He permitted QUAY to use the patronage of his adminis- tration to buy delegates for PENNYPACKER in the Republican state convention who bad been instructed for or pledged to ELKIN violating the civil service laws, for itinvolv- ed perjury and bribery. : If RoosEVELT had intended to prevent the violation of the civil service law he would have warned QUAY when the offense was being committed : Two months ago Senator QUAY issued his circular demand- ing the contributions. The fact was wide- ly advertised and freely commented on and ROOSEVELT couldn’t have failed to have become cognizant of.it. Yet the circular was permitted to'go through the mails and among the victims of QUAY'S cupidity without a word of protest until the robbery bad been completed and then ROOSEVELT jssued a polite order admonishing him that the laws had been violated. What use is such a rebuke to QUAY ? It any poor shivering widow had #3 a few bushels of coal would the officefs of the law bave notified her ten days after the event that stealing coal is a crime and that she dught notcommit it? Certainly not. She would have been promptly arrested and punished. Then why wasn’t that eourse adopted with respectjto QUAY, who violated the law? Simply because his crime was committed in bebalf of the Republican party and ROOSEVELT only spoke at the eleventh hoor because he imagined some idiots would say what a grand party we have and how zealously our President guards the laws. g ——The first thing the last Republican board of Commissioners did when they got into office was to increase the tax levy a balf-mill 4nd run the valuations sky high. You are paying enough taxes now take any risks of having fo MEYER and HOMPTON. ' i — There is not a single reason why you should not vote for ARCHEY for Regis- ter. He is a reputable, intelligent gentle- man who has served you faithfully for the past three years and you will have a con- tinuance of his faithful work if youn re- elect him. An Important Office. While the duties of Coroner are never very consequential in a county like Centre certain contingencies might arise that would make it very essential that a good man be chosen for the office. For instance, in the event of the death or disqualification of the Sheriff the Coroner succeeds to that office and for that reason we want to call especial attention to the need of voting your ticket carefully. See that every officer on it is voted for. Of course a X marked in the circle at the head of the ticket will do that, but as there is always more or less cutting there is al- ways a falling off in the vote of the candi- dates at the bottom of the column, for the reason that some people forget to mark in the squares to the right of their names. Be very careful this fall. Remember that a good Coroner is needed and that Dr. H. S. BRAUCHT is a man, thoroughly com- petent to fill any office to be voted for this fall. Vote for bim and be.sure of your Coroner. ——When the last Republican bead of Commissioners was in office they assessed $700 more dog tax than ‘the law allowed them to. They assessed all of the Penn- sylvania Rail-road Co's, property ‘in Rush, Taylor, Spring and Snow Shoe townships and in Bellefonte and Philipsburg bor- oughs at only a little over $9,000. You will remember that FisHER and RIDDLE rode on passes and can draw your own conclusions. Do you want another board like that. If not vote for MEYER and HUMPTON. : — Because the late JOHN F. HARTER, of Millbeim, had had one term as Recorder StroHM fought him to a finish when he can for Prothonotary several ycars lat . STROHM justified his action by saying that HARTER bad had enough.
