Demonia BY P. GRAY MEEK. Ink Slings. —This should be a special Thanksgiving day in Pennsylvania. The Legislature has adjourned. —The recent earthquake in India set a new pace for the plague in reducing pop- ulation. ! —Soon the pesky little house-fly will be flyin’ around again, puttin’ speos on every clean thing and annoyin’ bald-head men. —The kind of April shower we bad Mon- day afternoon was calculated to scaie the life clear out of prospective May flowers. —There is one newspaper man in the State whom Governor PENN YPACKER has successfully muzzled. Ask tom about it. —The Japanese price of peace bas drop- ped to five hundred millions, but as ye the Czar hasn’t been able to see it that way. —The longest pole won’t get the persim- mon tomorrow, but the man with the magio spit for his bait will get the fish, all right enough. —Probahly if the Equitable were a little more equitable there would not now be so many equity proceedings among its direc- torate. —If the CZAR were to put each soldier he bas in the field to work it would not take long to pay off Japan and make all parties happy. —With H. C. FRICK as Secretary of the Navy there ought to be no more concern over armor plate contracts on the part of the steel truss. —When you put on that new Easter bas and try to impress the world with it be sure that there isn’t a hole in the toe of your stocking that needs darning. —President BAER, of the Reading, told his men that ‘‘a mine operator’s lot is not a happy one,”’ but be didn’t offer to ex- change his job for one in the mines. —They say ‘‘the expected never hap- pens,” but Admiral Toco will have the pleasure of making an exception to the rule when he meets that Russian fleet. —The depths of ccntempt to which the Pennsylvania Legislature fell are deepened by the unstinted praise the press of the State is giving PENNYPACKER for his vetoes. —The preachers are making more fuss over that $100,000 gift of ROCKEFELLER’S than LILLIAN RUSSELL does when she loses her diamonds just prior to appearing in a new play. —The darkness during the storm in Bellefonte Monday afternoon fooled the chickens to roost and scared a good many persons whose consciences have not been altogether easy of late. —The Treasury Department has just re- ported that there are $2,588,992,983.00 in circulation in the United States. We wish to verify the report by stating that we know where all of it is but $2,588,992,980. 00. : —-Segregation in Philadelphia might prove a veritable boom to that city if it were to include a colony for the DURHAMS, McNicHOLS, VARES, ef al, where they could be kept under proper surveilance at all times. ——According to the report of the Massa- chusetts board of fish and game commis- sioners it is only a matter of a short time until the commercial lobster is entirely ex- tinct. The social lobster ? Well, that isa different proposition entirely. —Uncle RUSSELL SAGE is said to be pre- paring for the long journey. He is closing out his business interests but he will find all the gold he wants in Heaven without taking any of his along with him.——That is, of course, counting on Uncle RUSSELL’S getting there. —The fellow whose claim to the Sedalia, Mo., post-office is based on the fact of his having seven sons and five daughters, is a bad man to encourage. If kidsare to be made a requirement of office getting the country will soon be so thickly populated that there will be no living in it. —It may be true that Miss ANNA BELLE MILLER, the Philadelphia school teacher who sued the president of the board for libel and conspiracy, and was awarded $14,960 cared more for vindication than she did for the money, but it is scarcely proba- ble that she will decline to make the presi- dent pay. —The threat to deprive Mayor Tom JOHNSON, of Cleveland, of the privileges of the floor of council of that city is not like- ly to make that rather spectacular gentle- man bebave. Tom has been in the babit of having things his own way so long in Cleveland that we wouldn’t be surprised to hear of his getting a new council. —While he is down in Texas President ROOSEVELT might look up that Democrat who split his ticket for the first time in his life last fall and no sooner had the news of the elention been heard than his wife pre- sented him with triplets. The fellow has been mad at ROOSEVELT ‘ever since and, really, we think TEDDY owes him some sort of an apology. ; ——The trout fishing season opens to- morrow morning and the Republican coun- ty primaries will be held tomorrow after- noon and evening and tomorrow night a namber of the Republican candidates will be trying to figure out who are the biggest liars, the fellows who caught the largest strings of fish or those who promised to vote for them. And there is no question but that both clasees will be much in evi- So =m A emacratic og [¢ it “VOL. 50 STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 14, 1905. Roosevelt's Spite Working. Brigadier General CHAMBERS MoKiB- BIN has severed his connection with the National Guard of this State. General MoK IBBIN is a Pennsylvania soldier in the regular army, on the retired list. When the war of the rebellion broke out he en- listed as a private in the volunteer army in Philadelphia. For gallantry he was pro- moted rapidly and at the close of the war was a Colonel of volunteers. Suhsequent- ly he was transferred to the regular army with the rank of Captain. In that capaci- ty he participated in many of the battles with the Indians and rose to the rank of Brigadier General in which position he par- ticipated in the Spanish-American war and became the first American millitary gover- nor of Santiago. After the close of that war he was retired with the rank of Brig- adier General, having reached the retiring age. During the fifty-seventh Congress an act was passed providing for the appointment of retired army officers in good physical condition to serve in the capacity of adviso- ry inspectors of the National Guard of the several States. The federal government had undertaken to exercise a supervision over the militia organizations of the States with the idea of improving their efficiency 80 as to qualify them for instant and active service in the United States army in the event of war. In pursuance of this plan it was provided that retired officers detailed for such service should receive from the federal government the full pay of their rank. The plan provided that the Gover- nor and Adjutant General of a State should ask for the detail and the result was most satisfactory. The militia of every State which had availed itself of this service im- proved amazingly and it is said that under General MoKIBBEN’S supervision the Na- tion Guard of Pennsylvania had attained the perfection of ‘‘crack’’ regular soldiers. Everything went well until the Governor of Massachusetts asked that General NEL- SON A. MILES be detailed to act in that capacity in that State. President ROOSE- VELT has an antipathy against General MILES because he protested against feeding the soldiers in Cuba with embalmed beef and thus interfered with a profitable part- nership between the Chicago beef trust and the military ring in. Washington. During the remainder of (ieneral MILES’ active service ROOSEVELT gave him all the annoy- ance that was possible and when Governor DouGLAss asked to have him detailed to serve in the National Guard of Massachu- setts ROOSEVELT interposed and had the law repealed. Among those who suffered by this action is General McKIBBIN, and incidentally the National Guard of this State. The Congressman from this district voted for the repeal. The Legislature of 1905. The Legislature of 1905 has gone into history and left behind it a trail of disap- pointed hopes and defeated expectations. In the history of the State there has been no General Assembly so completely sub- servient to malign influences. The hosses entirely discarded their masks and present- ed themselves in the open. While the search for health occupied the attention of ington required the time of PENROSE, the puppets on the hill in Harrisburg droned away, achieving nothing. At the eleventh hour the bosses came and work was rushed. But it was too late to accomplish their pur- pose except in so far as defeating reform legislation worked that result. Most of the machine bills enacted will be vetoed it may be believed. : In the beginning of the session there was a bope entertained that some wholesome legislation would be enacted. That is to 8ay, some optimistic people of the Common- wealth expected that a personal registra- tion law would be passed, apportionment bills enacted and some other needed re- forms effected. We never shared this hope exactly but did what was possible to en- courage it with the idea that the unexpeot- ed sometimes happens. But no such benef- icent measure ever got beyond the commit- tees. Such bills of that kind as were in- troduced were stifled in those parliamenta- ry grave yards. The machine which de- pends upon electoral frauds for its exist- ence couldn’s allow them to be enacted and to make their defeat certain it was nec- essary to smother them. The only compensation for the disap- pointments which such failures entail lies in the fact that the machine measures fared little better. Some of the pet measures of the atrocious organization were passed and have been already vetoed. This is notably the case with the bill to create tuberculosis institutions. Others were passed and will be vetoed. Among those we have every reason to hope will be the Philadelphia ‘“‘ripper.’”’ Still others, including the EHRHARDT bills, died in the committee of the Senate to which they were referred and the culminating iniquity of the lot, the PUHL bill, was strangled between the leg- ‘islative halls and the executive mansion. Thus both elements of the interested pub- dence. lic bas been disappointed. DurHAM and legislative duties in Wash- Senator Cullom’s Bad Guess. Senator CULLOM, of Illinois, chairman of the Senate committee on Foreign relations, who is now in Washington working the departments for patronage, has expressed the opinion that when the Senate assem- bles in extra session in October the Presi- dent's usurpation of power in San Domingo will be approved. No doubt he is influenc- ed in this opinion by the similar action in Panama. It will be remembered that alter President ROOSEVELT had organized a re- bellion on the Isthmus against the rightful authority of the government of Colombia and subsequently by the employment of United States warships and marines fright- ened Colombia from coersive measures, the Senate solemnly declared that though it was very wrong it was an established fact and should not be interfered with. The President had meantime established a mushroom Republic on the Isthmus which is yet only a false pretense and ob- tained the right to build the Panama canal for a consideration of $10,000,000, so that some Senators were influenced by cupidity and others by the spirit of imperialism. But whatever the influence the crime was committed and condoned. Therefore when the Senate adjourned on March 18th last without having ratified the treaty with San Domingo, the President wasn’t wor- ried. He simply made up his mind to act independently of the Senate as he had done in the Panama case. In other words, he proceeded to usurp authority, relying upon the Senate to acquiesce as it did in the oth- er case because the matter was accomplish- ed and there is no redress. Bat ib is a usurpation of power neverthe- less and a violation of the constitution and the President’s oath of office. Probably to. a man who has been frequently convicted of lying as ROOSEVELT has the violation of an oath is unimportant,especially when the penalty for perjury doesn’t run against Presidents as a rule. Bat the crime is the same and if the Senate condones it as it con- doned the Panama outrage, the Senators will simply prove themselves poltroons who are unworthy of the trust reposed in them by the people. We don’t believe, however, that the Senators will adopt that course. It would be a stultification which we are unwilling to even imagine. On the cons trary, we expect proceedings in impeach- | ment rather than in condonation. What Will Pennypacker Do? The Philadelphia machine managers de- clare with absolute confidence that Gover- nor PENNYPACKER will sign the ‘“‘ripper”’ legislation enacted last week. Bets of five to one were offered in the corridors of the hotels and about the lobbies of the city hall to that effect on Saturday evening, accord- ing to newspaper reports. Yet on that evening one of the most imposing meetings of respectable business men ever seen in the city was held to protest against the meas- ures. Moreover nearly all the clergy of the city preached against the ‘‘rippers’’ on San- day and a petition signed by 15,000 promi- nent citizens has been prepared. In view of these facts we can’t believe that Governor PENNYPACKER will sign those iniquitous measures. He knows or will know before he has acted upon the bills that the purpose of them is to promote crime and protect vice. He does or will understand that they are intended to serve the purpose for which the PuHL and EHR- HARDT bills were introduced, and it is be- lieved that they were abandoned only be- cause he had given warning that he would veto them. Then how can the machine managers be confident that he will sign the bills? What inside information have they which makes them so certain? Governor PENNYPACKER is a queer in- dividual and mysterious in his way. Dar- ing the session of two years ago he had lifted public confidence to the highest level by the courageous and wise exercise of the veto power and then dashed popular faith into the lowest depths of despair by signing the unconstitutional and absolutely idiquisous press muzzler. This year he has been mak- ing even a better record with his veto pen, for he has killed every vicious measure en- acted and in t he process asserted the high- est standard of political morality. Is he going to disappoint civic hopes this year as he did in 1903? ——The Boggs township school board re- cently made a test case for the enforcement of the compulsory school law. John T. Bayletts was arrested for neglecting to send bis children to school. The hearing was held before justice of the peace John F. Potter who decided in favor of the school board, imposing a fine and the costs on Bayletts. ——Every man, woman and child in Centre county, interested in the welfare of suffering humanity and their hospital, should feel themselves individually respons- ible for the financial success of the coming benefit concert. The program merits a large and appreciative audience and it is yours to make of this opportunity the suc- cess it deserves. New Use for the Marines. The Marines of the United States are to be put to a new use according to Washing- ton dispatches. That is, the Washington correspondents inform the public that the State Department at Washington has noti- fied the War Department, that insurgents are landing in San Domingo and the War Department has informed the State Depars- ment that ‘‘the policy of the American gov- ernment will be to prevent any interference with the Morales government.” Judge TAFT is acting Secretary of State and actual Secretary of War so that it may be assumed that there will be no misinterpretation of the communications between them. The pooh bah simply slips the paper out of one hand into the other. From the same authority we learn that ‘‘the United States is not bound to protect the Morales government by any treaty or agreement of any kind.”” We should say not. At least it is certain that we are bound hy no treaty, for the Senate refused to ratily the treaty made by the admin- istration with the Dominican usurper and no authority was given to make an agree- ment. But in the absence of treaty or agreement the State Department and the War Department have declared the policy of the United States government ‘‘to pre- vent any interference with the Morales government.”” The only way to prevent such interference if insurgents are landing in San Domingo is to engage in war. The Morales government in San Domingo is a bogus government. President MOR- ALES is a usurper who acquired his title to office by force. He is himself an enemy of the country he assumes to govern and he couldn’t retain his place a month if left to his own resources. Bunt in order to suppors him in his ili-acquired office the State De- partment in Washington and the War De- partment have determined that any inter- ference will be prevented hy beginning a war in violation of the constitution, for that instrument invests in Congress alone the power to declare war, or send troops of the army or Marine corps for hostile purpose into alien territory. This is a dangerous ground upon which we are treading. Senator iCalpin Honered. rit, The Democratic Senators in the Legisla- tare could have made no wiser choice for President pro tempore of the body [than PATRICK F. CALPIN, the Senator for the Lackawanna county district. It is the ous- tom, and we believe sanctioned by law to select, at the close of each session, one of the members of the body for this favor. Usually the choice is determinedj{by the record made during the session, the man who most nearly measures up to the high- est ideals being selected. In the minority party it is an honor in one sense but a very great distinction. That is to say, it con- veys no power and involves no emolu- ments. But it implies faithful service and integrity and courage. Senator CALPIN is the youngest Senator on the Democratic side. But he is a gentle- man of ripe judgment, inflexible integrity and indomitable courage. During the two sessions he has served in the Senate he has never failed in the fulfillment of his ob- ligations to his party or the public. During the session just closed he has been what might be justly. term- ed the file leader of his party in the chamber. That is, his name is first among the Democrats on the roster and he was therefore obliged to make the pace for his Democratic associates on every roll call. It is just tosay that he has never failed in the complete fulfillment of his duty. Senator CALPIN’S}term will expire be- fore the body re-assembles but this un- solicited compliment to him will be an in- centive to his constituents to return him for another term. It is no}flattery] to say that during his first term he has been an influential and capable representative of his constituents. But with the advantage of experience and the greater power which leadership confers, if he is returned he will be able todo much more for his] district and the people of the State. But whether he is re-elected or not the compliment of his colleagues was well bestowed and we congratulate both him and them upon such a wise action of the caucus. ——The commission appointed by the court $0 make a recount of the vote for school directors in the western precinct of Ferguson township completed the work on Tuesday and the result showed the election of Ira Harpster, Democrat, instead of B. W. Peters, Republican. ——Blair county horsemen are discussing the feasibility of constructing a boulevard from Tyrone to Altoona, thence to Holli- daysburg, from there to Williamsburg and then to Tyrone, forming a big loop. ——Both branches of the Legislature passed the bill regulating the salaries of county commissioners. If the Governor signs the bill the salary of Centre county commissioners will be $1,000 a year. NO. 15. We Could All Whoop ‘er Up for Mr. Head. m— From the Greensburg Democrat. As the approaching Democratic state con- vention, a nominee will be chosen for judge of the superior court, and the oisi- zeus of the great county of Westmoreland would feel honored to see one of her native sons named for that exalted position in the person of Jobn B., Head, Esq. He is an acknowledged leader of the legal profession at the Westmoreland county seat and his high reputation asa man of exceptional ability is known throughout the entire commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His bnl- liant intellect, forceful speech and strength of character place him in the front rank of men learned in the law, and in every re- spect he is abundantly qualified for the Superior court bench. Moreover, his per- sonal acquaintance extends to every one of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, and, when the convention assembles, it will be found that the presentation of his name will sweep the ball with enthusiasm and his nomination be made by acclamation. The Democratic leaders throughout the State are strongly for Mr. Head, the newspapers are urging his nomination, and Westmoreland county citizens, without regard to party affilia- tions, hope that the honor will fall upon his manly shoulders. He fully meets every Jeffersonian requirement as to capabilities and worthiness, and would add dignity and lustre to the Saperior court bench. Both Rough and Tough on the “Mon- roe Idea,” From the Philadelphia Record. In his talk to she ‘‘Rough Riders’ at San Antonio, Texas, President Roosevelt re- marked: ‘I have a little difficulty in get- ting some of my friende to accept my inter- pretation of the Monroe doctrine,’ premis- ing his remark with his familiar exposition of what the doctrine implied. He spoke of the ‘‘duties which we cannot shirk,’’ and of the manner in which ‘‘we must handle ourselves.’ A ‘‘weak Power which be- haves itself will have no cause to fear us;’’ conversely, a Power which is weak and misbehaves must tremble at our wrath. As to the strong Powers, let them beware if they have a mind to oppress us or wrong us, for we are big and fall of fight. Who wonld recognize in this rodomon- tade even the faintest echo of the wise and pacific policy whereby this government at- tained its commanding moral influence in the councils of nations? The President thinks his version of the Monroe doctrine will ultimately be accepted by all; he is over-confident. His version bears too close a resemblance to the slogan of his cowboy regiment: Rough ! Tough ! We're the stuff ! We want to fight and we can’t get enough. Whoop-E-E-E! Its Not Only the Country “Jay.” From the Washington Star. All the ‘suckers’ do not live in the re- mote and sparsely settled sections of the country. The contrary opinion has here and there heen held. Comment on the operations of sharpers has too often repre- sented establishments in cities dealing in fraud as supported by confiding people liv- ing at a long distance from the big road. But bere we find companies, advertising money inducements so great as should have aroused the suspicions of even a mildewed ‘Jay’ doing business up in the hundred thousand mark for sections of the country where legitimate business of every kind flourishes and daily newspapers all but grow on trees. So wesee that, in some things, the ‘‘jay’’ and his city brother are much alike. The love of money gotten quickly and with ease is common to both. Where Ministers Tread Ligntly. From the Lincoln {Neb,) Commoner. One of the Boston ministers who favors the acceptance of Mr. Rockefeller’s money, says : ‘‘I fail to see how Mr. Rockefeller can be considered different from many of the people who visit our churches on Sun- day and, perhaps, contribute ill-gotten gain.’ Such a statements leads one to wonder whether Mr. Rockefeller, if he visited the church of such a preacher, would hear anything that would lead him to be- lieve that his gains are ill-gotten. Too many of the large churches are made con- genial for the large law-breakers by the absence of any reference to - the more in- direct and more colossal forms of wrong- doing. Song of the Trust Buster. From the Columbus Press. I like to see an octopus and pat him on the head. So prettily he will wag his tail when Garfield sees him fed. Some octopuses calmly browse on sticks and stones and brush, while others whine so patiently for a mass of Garfield mush. Poor octopus ! I’ll never abuse you more and never give you pain, until you fail to ante up, when I'll swat you once again. He's From Ohio—We Know the Rest. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Said a New York Republican : ‘‘It was very kind of President Roosevelt to give Secretary Taft a chance to act as chief magistrate of the nation for a couple of months. He will ges his hand in, in prep- aration for his own term four years from now.”’ “Do you concede that Taft will be eleot- ed President in 1908 ?”’ ‘I concede that Taft comes from Ohio,” was the answer.
