VOL. 50 © STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., MAR. 17, 1905. NO. 11. The Santo Domingo Treaty. The debate of the Santo Domingo treaty is now in progress, having begun on Mon- day, with present prospect of a prolonged discussion. Left to their own inclinations and in fluenced by their own judgments, as Senators were until within a few years, there would have been no doubt of the re- sult of the vote when it is reached. But simul taneously with the opening of the de, bate on this question the process of log roll. ing was inaugurated and it may be expected that the agents of the executive will be con- stantly in the lobby trading government patronage for votes. It is even possible that the President will take a band in the operations himself as he did about a year ago w hen the question of a congresional inv estigation of the frauds in the Postoffice Department was the issue. Then he sent for Senators and Representatives and open- ly proposed bargains with them. Under these circumstances the Senate may yield to the extraordinary proposition expressed in that treaty. That is to say, it may ratify a treaty which will invest the President with the authority of an interna. tional policeman, debase the govern- ment of the United States to the level of a bill collector for European usurers and pledge the people of the United States to the payment of forty or fifty millions of debts, two-thirds of which are fraudulent and little or none of which can ever be repaid. Such an injustice has never before been attempted in this country. Probably no other living man in the same position would have thought of it. But the inordi- nate lust for power which is literally con- suming the vain broncho buster in the White House leads hin into all sorts of ab- surdities and this criminal sacrific: of the American people is the limit. There is still good reason to hope the Senate will refuse to be bribed into concur- rence in this palpable iniquity. WALTER WELLMAN stated in a letter to the Phila- delphia Press the other day that if all the Republican Senators voted in the affirma- tive they wonid be two short. But two of them, MITCHELL, of Oregon, and BURTON, of Kansas, are under criminal indictment and can’t vote. That leaves them four short and the distinguished correspondent adds that the<probabilities. are that two of them will vote in the negative. This in- creases the shortage to six and as the same authority estimates there is no possibility of getking more than two Democratic Sena- tors to support the measure, the chances are that it will fail. We earnestly hope this prediction will be fulfilled. We can conceive of nothing that could happen which would be more inimical to the interests of the people than the ratitica- sion of this treaty. After Controller Larkin. The atrocious Pittshurg machine has de- termined to nullify the power of City Con- troller JOHN B. LARKIN even if it can’t defeat him at the polls. Mr. LARKIN was elected to that important office three years ago by a fusion of the Democrats and de- cent Republicans against the candidate of the machine. Subsequently the magnetic power of public plander brought a consid- erable number of the seceding Republicans back to the machine and last month an her- culean effort was made to defeat Mr. LAR- KIN for re-election. Bat it was unsuccess- ful. His splendid record appealed so strongly to the good citizenship of the city that he got a much larger majority than before. Political plunderers are exceedingly re- sourcefui, however, and the machine mana- gers have conceived a plan to minimize Mr. LARKIN’'S influence on the govern- ment of the city. That is tosay,they have determined to deprive him of one of his most importaut prerogatives by legislation and a bill aiming for that end has been pre- pared and will probably be well on its way toward final passage by the time this issue of the WATCHMAN reaches its destination. It is a piratic undertaking and an infamous expedient. But the machine doesn’t mind such things as that. It wants the plunder and its managers would resort to the meth- ods of the highwayman if they were not afraid of the consequences. Here is the scheme. The city charter of Pittsburg provides that when for any 1ea- son a special appropriation is desired the Mayor and City Controller shall unite in a certificate to councils the existence of an emergency which requires such a remedy. It is now proposed to amend the instru- ment so as to make it necessary for only the Mayor to sign the certificate. One of the complaints against LARKIN is tbat he re- fused to certify emergencies which didn’t exist and thus saved the taxpayers vast sums of money and deprived the machine managers of much graft. But that power will be taken from him if the machine in- fluence in the Legislature is sufficiently potential. ——The Bituminous Record, 'ot Philips- burg, is now issued twice a month instead The Republican Party Endorses Vice. | The Republican majority of the Penn- sylvania State Senate has formally thrown the mantle of its protection of and sympathy for over the vice and crime under police sanction in Philadelphia. That is tosay,on Monday evening last Senator HERBST, of Berks, introduced a resolution reciting the facts and proposing a committee of five to make a thorough investigation of the mat- ter and it was promptly voted down, every Republican Senator present participating in the outrage. Senator ScorT, of Philadel- phia, expressed surprise that such a resoln- tion should be offered and remarked that the authorities of Philadelphia could take care of their own affairs. But the records reveal the contrary. The particular vice to which Senator HERBST referted in his resolution was that: of beguiling young female immigrants into lives of shame. The process is to meet those young women when they come ashore and promise them lucrative employment. Una cquainted with the langnage and with- out knowledge of the customs of the coun- try thousands of them are perfectly helpless victims of the conspiracy. The promise of employment allures them and they are literally sold to brothel keepers who starve or frighten them into acquiescence in the lite of shame and degradation. If they re- sist\ the police admonish them to obedience. The police are supported in this atrocious action by those higher in authority. The return which the criminals engaged in this nefarious traffic give to the machine is shelter for fictitious names registered to be voted on at the elections. For example, one of those dens of iniquity was broken up a few days ago and it was discovered that twenty men had been voted from the house at the February election though there was not a male resident in the place. Some of the policemen get a direct ‘rake off”’ for their services in intimidating the girls but the main consideration is the aid in frandu- lent voting. It is no longer a local infamy, however. The vote of the State Senate on the HERBST resolution makes it a matter for which the Republican party is respon- sible. : . Republican Party Favors Election Frauds, The defeat of the motion of Representa- tive SHEATZ, of Philadelphia, to discharge the committee on elections of the House from the further consideration of the per- sonal registration bill fixes the responsibili- ty of future ballot frauds. It can no long. er be said that SAM SALTER is any worse than his party. He is precisely like the rest of his political associates. He is a self- confessed ballots box stuffer and they are promoters and abettors of the crime. Every wan of the 125 Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted against the motion knew the significance of his action. Unless he is worse than a fool he under- stood that his vote meant two years more of corrupt elections. We congratulate the decent Republicans of Centre county on the fact that Represen- tative WOMELSDORF voted with three other Republicans for honest elections. That is, he voted to bring the measure out of com- mittee for consideration on the floor. But there were just enough of the exceptions to prove the rule. Representative WATKINS, of Lackawanna, Representative BOULTON, of Clearfield, and Mr. SHEATZ, of Philadel- phia, composed the roll of honor. That is 60 say, that quartes of Republicans joined with the eleven Democrats present to make up the fifteen affirmative votes. But the action of the 125 who voted in the negative | fixed the standing of the party on the ques- tion. After the vote was taken many raembers who voted ‘‘no’’ said that they were in fav- or of the bill but opposed to taking it from the committee. In that statement they lied for the purpose of deceiving their constitu- ents. They knew precisely what their votes meant. They understood the significance of their action and if they favor personal ‘reg istration their votes against discharging the committee from further consideration marked them as poltroons and wretched cowards who were afraid to express their sentiments because it might offend the machine which owns them body and soul. But they can’t fool the people with such subterfayes. They only mark themselves as fit subjects for popular contempt. ——Republicans already in the field as oandidates for the nomination for the var- ious county offices are for sheriff, HENRY KLINE; treasurer, Isaac UNDERWOOD); re- corder, Epwarp C. McKinNtey, C. T. HALL and H. H.. HEWITT; register, E. C. TUTEN; commissioners, A. V. MILLER, JOHN G. BAILEY and H. E. ZIMMERMAN. H. C, QUIGLEY has announced as a candi- date for county chairman and HARRY KELLER as a candidate for delegate to the State convention. —— During the past week petitions have been circulated in this and adjoining coun- ties asking for the renomination of Gen. James A. Beaver as a candidate for Su- of weekly. perior court judge. Work of the Legislature. Less than a month of the legislative ses- sion remains and little has been accom- plished. Three or four unimportant meas- ures have reached the Governor, two of which, the pure food bill and the Lewis and CLARK exposition have been vetoed. Those who are directing the work profess confidence that the appropriation bills will all be passed and probably they will as no serious opposition is made to anything, however bad, and the appropriation bills have been endorsed by the machine. But it is scarcely likely that any other import- ant legislation will be enacted. In fact it is ‘certain that none of the reform bills will get through. Every day brings forth new evidence that the elections of Philadelphia are con- trolled by the grossest frauds. A couple of weeks ago it was shown conclusively that in one division of the Thirteenth ward 200 ballots were placed in the box before the polls were opened for the February election and the votes thus cast were count- ed for the machine. A week later it was proven that gangs of repeaters cast near- ly as many fraudulent votes at one poll in the Third ward. 16 is well understood that the same systems of fraud were practiced in nearly every division in the city. It is ¢qually certain that the system of registration is responsible for all this infamous corruption. Bat there will be no legislation enacted daring the present session to remedy the evil. Almost at the beginning of the ses- sion two bills were introduced providing for such personal registration as would have made this corruption impossible. We believe that eighty per cent. of the voters of the State, irrespective of party are in favor of houest elections. Yet the repre- sentatives of these people in the Legisla- ture, controlled by the twenty per cent. who are venal or influenced by some other sinister agency refuse to pass either of the bills so that for two years more at least this carnival of corruption which makes the State a reproach to the Republic will cuntinue. An Impending Danger. Governor PENNYPACKER was wise in adw€pishing the Legislature the other day of the danger that private water com- panies organized for speculative purposes will nltimately absorb the water supply of the State and work infinite barm on the community. ‘‘There are now pending be- fore me,’’ writes the Chief Executive of the State in a special message to the Legisla- ture, ‘‘twenty-nine applications for the incorporation of private water companies. All of them have been presented within the last three days, each of them has bus three incorporators and in all except three the amount of money paid to the treasurer of the corporation is $500.’ The purpose of this movement is obvious. As the population of communities increases in density the necessities for water multi- ply. Before the want is felt generally, therefore, these speculators are preparing 60 seoure the water sheds and that acoom- plished prey upon the necessities of the public. It is a cruel process. It means future suffering and pestilence in the com- munities affected but it guarantees im- mense profits to the human wolves engag- ed in the conspiracy. They understand that the public must have water just as they must have air and when the evil day arrives they will fix the price for acom- modity which ought to be free but muss be had at any price. There is probably no community in Pennsylvania or elsewhere as secure against such conspiracies as Bellefonte. Other towns are settled on larger streams but none on bodies of water so universally gen- erous in supply and pure in quality. Bat becanse of our own safety we should not be indifferent to the probable danger of others. On the contrary, it is our duty to join in the protest against so iniquitous a conspiracy and in every possible way promote the remedy. Governor PENNY- PACKER says that the remedy is in legis- lation depriving such companies of the right of eminent domain. Then let such legislation be enacted. ——We have repeatedly called the at- tention of our readers to that very lauda- ble object, the improvement of the Belle- fonte Academy grounds in time for the cel- bration of its centennial anniversary in June and we desire'once again to bring it to your notice. Quite a number of people away from town have subscribed liberally, and the people of Bellefonte who can afford to do so should be as open-hearted. There can be no question about the worthiness of the object. The Academy is a local institu- tion of learning of which we all can justly feel proud. It is doing a good work and is deserving of all the encouragement possi- ble to give it. Therefore send in your sub- scription to the ground improvement fund |- and when the centennial is held in June, in which you will all be invited to partici- pate, you will be giad you were one of the many who helped to put the surroundings in proper shape. Opening a New Field for Graft. From the Johnstown Democrat. The armory bill as reported out of the committee at Harrisburg is calculated to open up unlimited opportunities for graft unless public protest shall be exerted t0 head off this scheme at once. Under the terms of the amended bill an appropriation of $900,000 is made, to be ex- pended by a hoard known as the Armory Board of the State of Pennsylvania’’ for ‘‘the payment of its expenses and for pro- viding, managing and caring for tke Na- tional Guard of Pennsylvania.’’ . The commission is to exercise its own judgment as to where and when to buy or build armories and the particular compan- ies or regiments to beso favored. The maximum amount to be expended for an armory for a company of infantry shall be $20,000, and for a battery of artillery ora troop of cavalry, $30,000. : Not only is the board to provide thear- mories; but it shall also see to their proper management, having: power ‘‘to adopt and prescribe rules and regulations.’’ . This huge preliminary expenditure, how- ever, would of course be only a beginning. It is desired merely as the thin edge of the wedge. Two years hence the demand would be for a million. - Ten years hence the demand might well be for five millions or even more. For militarism grows on what it feeds on. os Is Pennsylvania ready to enter thus up- on a career of martial extravagance? Is she prepared to spend her resources in oultivat- ing a spirit that is at best doubtful and ab its worst is destructive morally and economically? The legislature seems ready to commit the State to a policy the:end of which might be despotism and unless the people revolt we shall see a military for- tress in every town of any size in Pennsyl- vania within a few years. A Big Job Even for Providence to Tackle. From the New York Evening Post. _ If the politicians of any locality in Amer- ica need praying for, they do in Philadel- phia. We hope it will not be said thas they are past praying for. Something should be expected from the fervent petitions of 500 ministers in behalf of Mayor Weaver, for . praying has often been peculiarly efficacious in Pennsylvania. Not many years ago, for instance, a new brewery was erected in one little Pennsylvania town, and the local preachers, who were much opposed to it, prayed that it might be de- stroyed by fire from heaven. Sure enough, it was struck by lightning, and the brewer saw the relation of cause and effect so clear- ly that he sued the preachers for damages. Mayor Weaver and Director Smyth, though they famed angrily over being prayed for, reported that they felt no unusal sensation of any sort. ‘‘How dare you ask such a question ?”’ shouted the Mayor at one of his questioners. But for all that, it is not pleasant for the most bardened of public officials to know that the united pulpit of the city regards the situation as so desper- ate that only miraculous intervention can ameliorate it. The Machine protests, of course, that nothing is wrong with Phila- delphia. But there are people who think differently and as they are nos allowed to make their will effective through their votes—only last week the Machine sent its repeaters into wards hitherto uncorrupted —there is nothing left for them to do but pray. : Got Just What He Deserved. From the Hughesville Mail. The sentence. imposed by Judge Woods, of Huntingdon ‘county, upon a‘‘respect- able’ citizen who was convicted in his court of procuring liquor for men of interoperate habits—a fine of five hundred dollars and a year’s imprisonment in the county jail—is a pretty severe one, bus just, to the dot. The man who has no better conception of his duty to society ‘than to supply liquor to men who are pro- scribed by law, men who cannot procure it themselves at the bar, is a very dangerous citizen and his prominence and social standing should cut no figure when he stands before the bar of justice. After the Real Powers. From the Mifflinburg Times. We have not learned whether the pray- ers of the clergy of Philadelphia, for the conversion of Mayor Weaver, have been answered, but why not pray for the REAL Mayor—Iz Durham—and ask God to strike him down on the highway, as Sanl was stricken on the way to Damascus, and keep Bs down till he promises to do the right thing. Mystery of the Beef Trust. From the Kansas City Journal. But just think of the money the packers were losing some years ago when cattle were higher and meats of all kinds were lower! How in the world they kept it up so long is an impenetrable mystery. It Begins Early and will be Worked Late. From the Portland Argus. hb If the spirit of boodle and of graft is to be found thus early in the Isthmian Canal Commission, what may we expect from the snhordinate officials throughout the years of active operations ? : ——When yousee a man walking along these days with a fishing rod on his snould- er don’t be fooled by thinking that the trout season has. opened, it is cnly the sucker fisherman abroad. At the same time it is well to remember that every man who is out looking for suckers does’ not carry a rod. One man, ov Tuesday, canght eight nice-sized fish up spring creek. i R= —————————————— . ——David O.
