BY P. GRAY MEEK. EE ————————————————————————————————— Ink Slings. —The rousing (?) Republican rally at State College last Friday night seems to _bave had more “pull” than ‘‘go.” —Prof. STARR certainly didn’t mean us when he included parting the hair in the middle among his fifteen signs of a degen- erate. —Mr. HARSHBERGER makes a very ad- mirable Justice for Bellefonte and we can see no good reason for voting him out of that office, so we will have to elect WIL- LIAM GROH RUNKLE District Attorney. —The longest fence in the world is said to be one erected by a cattle company along the Mexican frontier. It is seventy miles in length, bunt we'll bet it won’s be near as hard to fix up as .iudge LOVE'S political fence in Centre county. —WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN says: “I am opposed to dealing with the labor- ing man through the War Department.’’ So should every other peace-loving citizen of the United States be, THEODORE ROOSE- VELT not included, of ceurse, because he believes otherwise. —Col. AusTIN CURTIN’S suggestion about the ‘‘Silver greys’’ leading the Re- publican parade next Tuesday night is a perfectly safe one in this campaign, but if he had made such use of ‘‘silver’’ four years ago they would have declared it was a BRYAN scheme. Nothing but ‘‘goldie locks’’ would have gone then. —When Prof. FREDERICK STARR, of Chicago University, sees the white vests gradually disappearing he may be expected to be ass enough to imagine it because he recently said that wearing a white or fancy vest is a sign of degeneracy. Of eourse the cold weather will have had nothing, whatever, to do with it. —The Oxford, Pa., Presbyterians are certainly giving the Japs all the time they need in which to finish up the last Rus- sian. They have set Christmas day as the time they will pray for peace between the belligerents. During the interim of two months we presume our solicitous Presbyterian friends will be too busy read- ing up the daily lists of killed to think of praying for peace. —AIll this newspaper fassing about ELLIS ORVIS not paying his bills will ap- pear to the reasonable man as mere clap- trap. Anyone who has any sense at all will understand that Mr. ORVIS owning property makes it the easiest thing in the world for anyone having claims against him to recover the same. There is law just to fit such cases and the best evidence in the world that there are no claims against this parsionlar -gentleman that be: has refused to pay is the fact that the law has never been invoked against him. —*‘‘Comrade’’ REDHEFFER, of the War Veterans club of Philadelphia, who is just now engaged in urging the veterans of Centre o ounty to vote against ‘‘comrade’’ JoHN NoLL for the Legislature evidently hasn’t heard of the way his ‘‘comrade’’ JOHN DALEY was treated only a few months ago, by the people REDHEFFER is hustling for. A brindle bull would have displayed more cow sense in trying to butt into the legislative campaign in Centre county than this particular RED-HEFFER has done. —It must bave caused Judge LOVE to stop and think a moment when be heard of the way Blair county justice was dished out to the cowardly dastard who knocked his sister down and robber her. Within ten days after the commission of the crime the culprit was arrested, plead guilty and sentenced to nine years in the penitentiary. While the sentence was not a minute long- er than it should have been we cannot help wondering how Judge LOVE feels about it ; especially when he thinks five and eight years are long enough for men who have actually murdered in Centre county. —It remains to he seen how much in earnest the farmers of Centre county real- ly are when they go hefore their respec- tive party conventions asking for places on the tickets for farmers. Last spring the Republican county convention turned down Mr. BIBLE, a very respectable farm- er, for Prothonotary, evidently becanse he wasn’t considered as fit as GEORGE LAMB, ‘‘the popular mixologist’’ of the Passmore house, Philipsburg. The Democrats nomi- nated two farmers, Messrs. KEPLER and K IMPORT. It: would . be interesting to know what per centage of the farmers who were indignant becanse farmer BIBLE and farmer DALEY were not nominated will now vote for farmer KEPLER and farmer KIMPORT. —DAVY CHAMBERS, the wholesale heer dealer at Clarence, is reported as being par- ticularly energetic in his work for Judge LovE's re-election. Just why DAvy deems it necessary to tear his shirt for the Judge we do not know, but his action has raised a question in the minds of many as to whether DAVY’S methods would not bear a little investigation. Certain it is that any licensee who is conducting his business strictly according to the law, should have no favors to ask or give from any Judge. He is supposed to hold his license because there is a need of it in his partionlar community and as long as that need exists, and he aots in compliance with the law, no honest Jndge would re- fuse him license. To say the least the fact that DAvy is hustling ihe way he is re ported as doing leads us to wonder what |v he has done that he need be worried abou. ““beef-eaters’’ of public life wild with in- Na Complaints of Silence. We hear no complaints now of Judge PARKER’S reticence upon public questions. There is no longer criticism of his silence. He has spoken half a dozen times upon matters of public interest with the resulb that all the Republican managers are in a state of consterpation. First he showed that the per capita expenses of the govern- ment have nearly doubled during the last seven years in which imperialiem has been developing. We don't mean that the ag- aggregate cost of government has doubled. A considerable increase in the aggregate might be accounted for in the multiplied population and enlarged gov- ernmental requirements. But the ex- penses per capita have nearly doubled, not- withstanding the increase in the popula- tion and there is no answer to the indict- ment on that point. Next, Judge PARKER referred to the folly of the Philippines and every apologist of the administration bas ‘‘gone up into the air.”” He bas shown that in addition to the idiocy of ‘‘buying a lawsuit’ at a cost of $20,000,000, we have defended our ‘‘claim in court,’”’ so to speak, at an addi- tional expense of $650,000,000. This very conservative estimate of the ‘‘crowning atrocity’’ of recent years has set RooT and TAFT and all the other ‘‘time-servers’’ and digonation. The Philippine enterprise bas only cost $160,000,000 TAFT declares and Root echoes the falsehood. They both know thas they are lying and shat Judge PARKER'S estimate is below rather than ahove the actual figures. They have even compelled poor imbecile LUKE WRIGHT, Governor of the Philippines, to perjure himself at public expense. But the people are not deceived by these hysterical protests of ROOSEVELT'S subsi- dized instruments. The facts are easily attainable. The expenses of the army have increased since the acquisition of the Philippines at least $75,000,000 a year and the cost of creating and maintaining the navy has multiplied in the same ratio. This makes an increase in the expenses of the governnient of $150,000,000 a year and as it is six years since the drain began the aggregate p which represents the |’ cost of the Philippine enterprise amounts to $900,000,000,' which is $250,000,000 more than Judge PARKER stated. Bat that is not the greatest cost. Two hun- dred thousand lives have heen sacrificed to this thirst for empire which has taken possession of THEODORE ROOSRVELT and we submit that it'is time to check it. The Wrong Fellow for that Job. Evidently ex-Judge FURST, who is now making a great pretense of desiring the re- election of Judge LOVE, imagines that College professors are easily gulled, or bave exceedingly short memories. He and LovE and two or: three others held a Re- publican meeting, in the chapel of the State College (a queer plea for a meeting of the kind, many will think) on Friday night of last week; In the course of his apeech the ex-Judge took occasion to taffy the work, the worth, the influence and prospects of the institution to the fall ex- tent that his limited thought and com- mand of langaage would allow, closing his reference to it by telling his hearers how they should stand by it with their efforts | and support until it became the greatest and most useful college in the country. This the ex-Judge thought the proper way to capture the professors and other friends of that institution who were among his hearers. And it niight have been bad it come from any other source; buat when it was remembered that ex-Judge FURST had never before opened .his mouth tosay a good word for State College, and that he showed his mistrnsh of the institution and those in charge of it by sending his own sons to Princeton to be edncated, the brassi- ness of the compliments attempted, and the hollowness of the friendship professed, were So apparent as to create only disgas. There were no votes made for the Republi- can ticket at that Beeting: Which The one Fepatinde candidate for Legis- ture in this county is a civil engineer ; the other a pool-room keeper. There are not ten civil engineers or a dozen pool-room keepers within this county. But there’are thousands of farm- ers, and additional thousands of good hon- est men who are meéchanics and working- men. Why should the plbtession of civil engin- eering, or the occupation of running a pool room, have its representative in the Legis- lature to the exclusion of the farmer and the workingman of Centre’ connty ? The one Democratic candidate for Legis- lature is a farmer ; the other is a mechanic; and its up to these two classes of voters to say, it they purpose being represented by men whose sympathies and interests are them, or by those who know or care nothing of their needs or desires. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. The Creatures of a Power That is Al- ways Against the Farmer. The Republican State Ring was against the farmers when they asked for the equalization of taxation. It was against them when they asked that the sale of oleomargarine within the State be restricted. It was against them when they petition- ed for road laws that could be enforced without the exorbitant taxation that pre- vents the present law from being put to practical purposes. It was against them when they asked that corporations be required to pay an equitable share of local taxation. It was against them when they petition- ed the Legislature for a law requiring that all license taxes be paid into the county treasurer, that the money thus raised could be used to reduce the excessive local taxes, that the farmer and workingmen are compelled to pay. It was against them when they demand- ed the full amount of money appropriated for school purposes in 1901—a million dol- lars of which a ring elected Governor, vetoed and has kept laying in favorite banks ever since. Under all circumstances and at all times that same state ring has been against the interests of the farmers and working men of the State. . It is now for WOMELSDORF and KNISE- LY. If has furnished money to help elect them. And why? Because it knows, and has the assur- ance, that it can count on their support for anything it undertakes to secure. It has found WOLMELSDORF faithful to its de- mands, even to the extent of assisting to humiliate and defeat the man who elect- ed him—Governor HASTINGsS—and who the Ring was attempting to discipline be- cause he refused to endorse its corrupt and corrupting methods. It wants him back at Harrisburg, and it is satisfied to hav: KNISELY along, because it is certain that their votes will go just as that Ring die- tates. : What can the farmers of the county ex- pect if their Representatives are creatures of every measure that bas been introduced for their protection and benefit 9 The Democratic Estimate. The Democratic National committee has wisely refrained from predictions as to the result of the election until it has acquired information upon which to base predic- tions. Our opponents have pursued the opposite course, as usual, and before it was possible to get an estimate from any State organization Mr. CORTELYOU issued a prediction that made ROOSEVELT'S election certain. The several State com- mittees of that party have pursued the same course. For example, after an absence from the State of more than two months, Senator PENROSE announced the day after his return that Pennsylvania would give ROOSEVELT 300,000 majority. Of course that was ‘‘bluff,’’ pure and simple. But the Democratic estimate made pub- lic on Monday last, we are assured, is based on a carefal and intelligent canvass of the country. It predicts the election of PARKER and DAVIS by a majority of twenty-five. in the electoral college and predicates the estimates on reasona- ble grounds. The Southern States, not including Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia with am electoral strength of 151 votes, are conceded to the Democracy. To these the National ‘committee adds New York,” New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Montana making a total of 264 eleetor- | al votes against 172 for ROOSEVELT, with Wisconsin and Illnois in doubt. = = | We have every reason to believe that the Democratic estimate is accurate. The New York Herald, which has recently heen beguiled from the support’ of PARKER, probably by ‘the same ““mysterions influ- ences” which it will be remembered ‘‘ochanged a majority into a minority’ of the Republican; convention in this State which nominated PENNYPACKER for Governor two years ago, published ap estimate on Sunday last ‘and while the headlines declared the election of ROOSE- VELT probable, the dispatches indicated the election of PARKER as certain. It may be depended upon, in any event, that the Democratic National committee would not purposely, deceive the public and its estimate may. be accepted as worthy of confidence. —— Statistics show it as a well- estab- lished fact that, one hundred old soldiers dieevery day doring the year and, remark- able as it. may appear, a member of Gregg Post informed the writer yesterday ’ that not a wan belonging to the Post had died the past year. Truly thisiis a little un- usual and can be accounted forin one of two ways—either because of the: excep- tionally healthy conditions prevailing: | in Bellefonte or that the old soldiers’ ols F Gregg Post are an unusovally/healthy set.’ ‘a. machine that has opposed and defeated AE a BELLEFONTE, PA., OCT. 28, 1904. What are the Reasons. Within little more than a week of the election nobody has yet given even a plausible reason why Sorn.oMON R. DRESSER should be re-elected to represent this dis- trict in Congress. It is known that he bas grown rich since he began his residence in a part of the district which has no com- munity of interest with the vast majority of the people who compose the voting popu- lation. Bat that is no reason for electing him to Congress. His wealth is not an objection and if he were possessed of other qualifications in an eminent degree if might be regarded as a merit. Bat he is nob 80 e guipped and consequently some other reason must be given for his. claim to the favor. It will hardly be alleged that Mr. DRESSER has contributed materially to the comfort or prosperity of the people of this Congress district. He has lived in Brad- ford a number of years but has added noth- ing to the sum of human happiness even thereand hascertainly dispensed no philan- thropies in any other part of the district. He has endowed no educational institutions, established no charities, built up no pub- lie beneficences. Asa matter of fact he bas not even contributed to the general welfare of any part of the district. A selfish, sordid money-maker, without ex- ceptional ability and with a meagre ac- quaintanceship in the district his ambition is impudent. Mr. DRESSER is said to have acquired, by questionable methods, a patent on ma- chinery or devices for producing oil, from an employe who was unable to take care of his own interests, but his friends will not assert that as a reason why he should be elected to Congress. Then what reason is there? Simply that he bad the money to contribute to the late Senator Quay’s hoard and was willing. Probably the im- mediate friends of Quay, those who are now enjoying the fruits of his surprising wealth, owe DRESSER something and ought to be grateful to him. Bat she obligation ought not to be shifted upon the shoulders of the people of this Congress dissriot. We, have troubles of our own. Pen “7 wny Hen Vote for Runkle. Tuesday of this we week, a prominent and staunch Republican from upper Bald Eagle valley was in Bellefonte and in conversa- tion with the writer declared that he very rarely cut his ticket but this year he was going to vote for W. GROH RUNKLE for District Attorney. In explanation of his declaration he said that he, as one of the taxpayers of the county, wanted to see a man elected to the office of District Attor- ney who he knew would be capable of con- ducting the business of the office. A man, who, himself, would be capable of conduct- |: ing any ordinary cause in court which | might be brought before him. A man thas the plaintiff in a Commonwealth case would not be compelled to pay out extra money for additional counsel to conduct his case. Such a man, he declared, he knew Mr. RUNKLE to be, while he was not satisfied that his opponent possessed these qualifica- tions. Mr. RUNKLE, in his canvass of the coun- ty, has made himself solid with every Democratic voter, while the upper Bald Eagle gentleman who go outspokenly de- olared himself as above, is not the only Re- publican by any means who has been thus impressed. There are dozens and dozens of them and it will not be at all surprising if Mr. RUNKLE has one of the biggest ma- jorities on the Democratic ticket. Comrade Redheffer, Au organization known as the War Vet- eran’s club, with headquarters at Philadel- phia and ‘‘Comrade’” Wi. H. REDHEFFER behind the guns as president, is just now busy sending out literature to the old vet- erans in Pennsylvania. Inasmuch rs the nature of the literature is purely partisan we surmise that the Republican State com- mittee is paying for the printing and poss- age and giving ‘‘comrade’’ REDHEFFER al little on the side. The appeal to the old boys in blue will fall on deaf ears in Centre county, particu- larly that part of it that calls npon them to’ vote ‘‘especially for the Republican candi- dates for State Legislature.” x If ‘‘Comrade’’ REDHEFFER were as sin- cere as he professes to be in ‘‘fostering the principles and the interests of _comrades’’ be might have taken a hand in the fight in Centre county, a few months ago, when Col. JoHN A. DALEY, one of thé ‘‘com- rades,”” whom he professes to be so solicit- ous about, was turned down for nomina- tion for the very office of Legislature by the very people REDHEFFER is now huné- ing votes for. Ob she other hand the only old veteran on any ticket in Centre county ‘is JOHN NoLL and he is the boy the vets are going to rally round on election day ; ““Comrade”’ REDHEFFER’S appeal to the contrary not- withstanding.

Get Ont the Vote, It is bardly necessary to remind the Democrats of Centre county of the impor- tance of getting out the vote on the now rapidly approaching election day. The people of this country have never been called upon to determine more important questions than those involved in the pend- ing issues. It is no exaggeration to say that upon the result of the vote on Tuesday, November 8th, will depend the future form of the government. The question of a Republic or Military Satrappy may not be apparent to all the people at present. Bn it is discernible to many and the most thoughtful men of the country are viewing the conditions with grave concern. In view of these facts every Democratic voter ought to be zealous in the work of get- ting the voters to the polls and their effort should be supplemented by the earnest. co- operation of those of other political beliefs who favor free government. LINCOE said that no country can survive I and balt slave. It is quite as true that no counfry can endure which is part Republic and part Empire. At present we are gov- erning a large body of human beings not as citizens of a Republic butas sub jects of an Empire. There is no warrant in the character of our government for suck an exercise of authority. There is no power that can check imperialism when it is once allowed a foothold. We have no doubt of the result, of the election. It would be as reasonable to doubt the intelligence and patriotism of the body of American citizens. But there is always danger of apathy, however, which under existing conditions would be as dangerous as a wrong heart. If all the vote, the trinmph of the Democracy will be overwhelming. If all the citizens of{Centre county who favor the principles of the Democratic party cast their ballots acoord- ing to their convictions the Democratic victory will be the greatest that has been achieved in years. But meaning well won’t accomplish results. Action is neces- wo Men Could Tell You. The office of Prothonotary is entirely 00 important a place to turn over toa man whom you are not entirely satisfied is com- petens to fill it. Have you looked into the qualifications of the nominees of the two leading parties ? Mr. GEORGE E. LAMB, of Philipsburg, is the Republican aspirant. Ask him in what way he is adapted to qualify as Pro- thonoter, the offices of the courts, the man who guards your judgments, makes out court trial bills and keeps all of the dockets in that legible, scholarly form that youn ex- pect to find cours records in. He will sell you, if he tells the truth : I have been a wholesale beer dealer in Philipsburg but didn’t make that go very well, so now I am tending bar at the Passmore hapse and have the reputation of being a dandy at that. That is all ! Voters of Centre county. All that he can call up by way of experi- ‘ence or training to qualify him for one of the most important offices to you in the court house. On the other hand ARTHUR KIMPORT, the Democratic nominee might tell you, and tell you trathfully, were you to ask the same guestion of him : Iam a farm- er’s boy, and am farming for myself now. I have also taught school, but most recent- ly I have been clerk to Prothonoters SMITH and GARDNER. If you will pardon what might appear to be egotism I will tell you that the lawyers at the bar and, in fact everyone who knows anything about such affairs, admit that I kept as nice a set of court records as they ‘bave ever seen. This is what Mr. KIMPORT could tell you were yon to put him ‘on the stand. Aye, this. and much more that would be to his credit and would convince. youn that he is the one and only man in the field this fall who is fit for the office of Prothonotary | of Centre county. rr To Fool the Miners. From a correspondent of the Phila. Record. I saw a sample of a badge here last even- ing of which the G. 0). P. is baving over 15,000 made: to. distribute through the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The badge is about eight inches long, with. a picture of “Teddy’’ with the words : “He is good enough for me, and sv is the whole Repub- Tican sicket.”’ "On the lower end is the pict- ure of a miner with a pick and a dinner pail. I do not know whether it is the full one that Mark Hanna promised them or an empty one. e shall see whether the miners have forgotten the ‘‘swo and three-quarter days a week’’ from 1896 to 1900, with starva- tion wages, which drove them into the longest strike ever known in the coal regions in 1902, after all of Mark Hanna's promise of full time, good wages and full dinner pails. We shall see whether they remember when they had to send bands of music through the large cities of the East to collect money to feed 140,000 people in the coal regions, some of whom were starv- ing.

He was 24 years old and unmarried. —A panther measuring thirteen feet from tip to tip was killed on a small stream known as Mosquito creek, some distance from Cale- donia, in the region of DuBois. The shoot ing of the huge animal occurred last week: It was shot by a member of a family named Munn, who live in that section. It is the largest specimen ever seen in thai vicinity, even when the woods were more dense and game of this kind more numerous. There are not many more panthers to be found anywhere in the Clearfield region, but the one shot last week has been seen several times in past years. —Three hunters attracted no little atten- tion as they paraded down Main street, in Lock Haven, one day last week, on their re- turn from a three day’s hunt in Brush val- ley, Centre county, where they had unusu- al good luck in killing small game. This trio was composed of T. W. Kreamer and Harry Wilt, of Renovo, and R. H. Kreamer, of Williamsport. One man had strung about his neck and shoulders twenty-three gray squirrels, another carried two large wild turkeys in addition to his gun, while the third had four pheasants and a turkey dang- ling from his belt. The wholesale slaughter represented the work of the three men for two days, Monday and Tuesday. What they shot on Saturday they ate while in camp.
