Judging from the way in which he shied at the lass county convention of his party we were of the opinion that he didn’t bave a friend at home. —New York State appropriated $50,000,- 000 for the betterment of its roads, while Pennsylvania appropriated but $600,000. Bat then New York don’t have to keep a $15,000,000 sarplus for the use of banks, and the manipulation of its State machine, as this in-glorious old Commonwealth is compelled to do. —“Your Uncle” CEPHAS GRAMLEY, who three years ago and six years ago said he didn’t wan’t a re-election as county sn- perintendent, has changed bis mind again. Of course ‘‘Your Uncle’ CEPHAS is old enough to sit up and notice things aud that | is the principal ground on which we base the guess that away down in his heart he has already seen the haund-writing on' the wall. —After signing she Anti-Streaw pfotec- tion bill with its army of officials, and its $400,000 for salaries, the Governor has wak- ened up to the fact that the appropriations exceed the revenues over $4,000,000, and it is said, will even it up by chopping off this amount from the Hospital appropriations. And yet there are some of us who had al- most concluded that be wanted to do the right thing. How easily gullible people oan be fooled. VOL. 50 Hopefal Future of De mocraey. The Democratic State committee at its session in Harrisburg, last week, fulfilled the best expectations of the masses. It unanimously re-elected Senator JAMES K. P. HALL to the chairmanship and plain- ly indicated the policy of nominating only one candidate for Judge of the Superior cours. The re-election of Senator HALL means a continuance of the sagacious and vigorous work for a complete organization of the party in the State. The nomination of only one candidate for Judge of the Superior court means that the Democrats instead of the Republicans will select the minority representative on that tribunal. The candidate will be a Democratic lawyer worthy the support of the party and when elected capable and willing to interpres the laws according to Democratic ideas. The Republican machine hoped to be able to influence the Democratic conven- tion to nominate three candidates for the Superior court bench and then choose be- tween the three the successful candidate. During the session of the Legislature it was an open secret that negotiations were be- ing carried on to that end. The plan was to lend fifty or sixty thousand votes to the candidate on the Demooratic ticket who would engage in commerce with the ma- chine. This proffer, if gossip of the cor- ridors is to be relied on, was made to three Democratic members of the General Assem bly during the session, in the hope of silencing them on the iniquitons machine legislation. Bu it failed. : State Chairman HALL and other Demo- orats in and out of the Legislature were too alert to permit such political commerce ‘“‘under their noses.”” The result is that the Democrats will nominate only one candidate and he will represent the best impulses and loftiest purposes of the party. He will not consent to borrow any votes from the Republican machine in Philadel- phia or elsewhere. He will be elected by the hon est votes of earnest Democrats and he will be under obligations to no machine for his victory. In office, moreover, he will have nodebts to pay or bargains to make good. He will interpret the law justly and fairly apd serve the people, rather than the machine. Because of these results we are gratified with the work of the Demoocratio State committee. Our Faith Still Firm. Governor PENNYPACKER is still wield- ing the veto axe with hearty judgment, vig or and assiduity. ‘‘Five vicious bills fell yesterday,’ were the headlines in a daily newspaper one morning within the week. ‘Seven machine bills were put to sleep yesterday,”’ delighted our eyes another morning. And so it has gone every day since the adjournment. From five to a dozen is the daily average and the veto messages are marvels, of vigorous English, excellent logio and sound morals. The constitution is violated in one instance, the rules of grammar are literally raped in another and political immorality is out- raged in still another. Altogether the veto messages are ‘‘interestin’ readin’,”’ Bat thus far no paper has contained in- formation that the odious Philadelphia “rippers’’ have been vetoed. Last week there was a hearing on the subject and eminent Philadelphians told His Excel- |d lency of the character of those hills and the effect if they should become a law. Lawyers pointed oat to him the certainty that the police force would be converted into an agency for promoting and proteot- ing crime. But he hasn’t indicated a pur- pose to condemn them to everlasting de- struction by the exercise of his constitu- tional prerogative. He hasn’t even gone 80 far as to declare his sympathy with the unselfish citizens who went at their own expense to protest. But we believe that the Governor will veto those atrocious measures. He has done some awful things in the past. Under the malign influence of the late Senator QUAY he signed the iniquitous press muz- zler and gave his approval to other vicious legislation. But we bave always hoped that the influence removed his own honest impulses would assert themselves and that he would prove by his actions his abhor- rence of crime in public life. He has three weeks yet in which to justify our good opinion. Until the 13th of May he may exercise his veto power on legisla- tion left in bis hands at the adjournment of the session and we bave faith that he will act right. ——Last Saturday was ‘“‘apple day,” and if the old adage be true that when the son shines through the branches on the 25th of March it is a sign of a big apple Jrop, there should be an abundance of the fruit this year,as the sun shone all the day through. —Anyway, that Harrisburg Republican ratification meeting didn’t handicap the fu- ture expectations of the State machine, with pledges that the election of Mr. J. LEE PLUMMER would stop the leaks about the State Treasury. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. If He Should Get Lost. If President ROOSEVELT would spend all his time in the fatnesses of the Rocky mountains how happy and prosperous this country might be. Of cource it costs money to keep luxurious special traivs at convenient points for his accommodation. But the Pennsylvania railroad is probably payipg the bill, as it bore the expenses of his last trip to the Yellowstone park. Equally of course the company may reim- burse itself by adding to the charge for car- rying mails. Bat even at that his trip is less expensive than a few swipes of the big stick among the Latin-American Republics and therefore we can afford the cost of the trip, though it would be more honest to make the charge direct. Since the President ‘‘struck the trail” out from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, no disturbing sound has come from South America. Mrs. ROOSEVELT has been ca- vorting along the South Atlantic coast in a government vessel and such excursions ‘‘for the benefit of the children’’ are costly. But there hasn’t been a single outbreak either in San Domingo or Venezuela and conse- quently there has been no occasion to dis- patch a fleet or order a squadron of Mar- ines to invade any helpless power. That being true we are all to the good financially speaking. One movement of a fleet to sap- port a rotten usurper in San Domingo would cost more than the President's trip and his wife’s voyage in southern seas. Therefore we hope the President will re- main in the mountain woods indefinitely. We don’t need him bere atall. The gov- ernment at Washington is getting along as well without as it could possibly do with him while we are saving money. Of course it’s a trifle hard on the constitution, which forbids the use of public money for such purposes. But the constitation would get the worst of it anyway. ROOSEVELT doesn’t know anything about the constitusion. His own caprices are the only guide he reo- ognizes, so that all things considered the longer he stays away the better. We move that his salary be sent to him monthly so that he will not feel it necessary to come back at all. Proposed Amendment to Democratic Rules. Following is the full text of the propos- ed amendment to the State Demooratio rules suggested by the Executive Commit- tee and recommended by the State Commit- tee at the recent meetings of these bodies, for the purpose of preventing or ending dead-locks in district nominating conven- tions. It will be presented to the coming State convention, and if adopted by that body, will become a part of the rules of the part within the State : Proposed Amendment to State Democratic Rules Concerning Congressional, Judicial, Sena- torial and Legislative Nominations.—All dis- putes or disagreements arising in any Con- gressional, Judicial, Senatorial or Legislative district in the State of Pennsylvania, as to the mode or manner of making nominations thetein, or as to the number of Conferees or Delegates the several counties in such dis. trict shall be entitled to in the Conferences in such district, or upon the question of rota- tion, or any other matter pertaining to Democratic Congressional, Judicial, Senatori- al or Legislative nominations, shall be heard and determined by the Democratic State Executive Committee.

BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 28, 1905. Does Mr. Gramley Know His Mind ? While we have no intention of raising the question of fitness for the office of coun ty superintendent tliere are reasons why the aspirations of Mr. C. L. GRAMLEY to succee d himself should appear peculiar to the people of Centre county. Over and; above them all is his own statemens made before the director’s convention at the time of his last election when he said: ‘If Iam elected this time I will never be a candi- date for the office again.”” Mr. GRAMLEY made the promise in good faith and to good purpose; for while most of the directors at that time were naturally his friends many of them felt that he had taken advantage of his power to further his own ends by intimidation of parents and friends of teachers. It always had been an open secret that Mr. GRAMLEY mixed up politics with his office and di- rectors were inclined to replace him with another man, when he came forward with the promise to serve one more term and get out. By his candidacy now he has broken that promiee aud if he feels that he can break one with impunity, why not any others in the fature. There is only one of two conclusions to be drawn. Either Mr. GRAMLEY is not a man of his word, or else he does not know his own mind. In this contest we cannot be charged with playirg the game «f politics, because all of the ca ndidates for the office are Re- publicans and on that score we have no choice, other than to suggest that the time has come for a change and it should be made. : . Democratic County Committee Meeting. In pursuance to the call of the county chairman a meeting of the members of the Democratio county committee was held in this place on Monday, the purpose of the meeting being to apportion the delegates in the county according to the vote cast at the last presidential eleotion. The rales of the | Rhod party provide for. one delegate for every fitty votes cast. The excess vote in the various districts which did not aggregate fitty Jefs.eight delegates to be apportioned. These were distributed among those dis- | triots that had the largest fractional part of fifty, namely: Bellefonte, North ward ; Phil- ipsburg, 2nd ward; Haines E. P.; Centre Hall; Miles, M.

Quay. That individaal personified polisio- al corruption, and as the New York Even- ing Post remarks, ‘if it is proper thus to honor Quay, isis time to pull down our memorials to Washington, to Lincoln, to Grant, and to replace them with of Boss Tweed and of Addicks.” It is un- pleasant to speak ill of the dead; still, Senator Quay did much harm by his prae- tices and example, and if instead of letting his name go into oblivion the politicians of his school insist on setting up a stone or bronze figure of him to be paid for by an appropriation of public money, civic decen- oy is justified in raisingits voice in protest. Various bitterly sarcastic inscriptions for the proposed memorial have been suggest- toriously low. Quay was typical of the worst of them. Right-minded people can bardly wish to see a rogues’ gallery of sculpture. Blood Money Pure and Simple. From the Catholic Standard and times. In the old law there was another sor$ of money that could not be given as ‘alms or! for religious purposes. This was money on which rested the stain of blood. has, when repentant but despairing Judas Is- silver coins which purchased his tresson to his Master, and flung them at his fee, the ‘high priest forbade them to’ be put in the corbona, as we read in the gospel, as . they were the price of blood. Now, this is the gort of money which : Cecil Rhodes offers: American youth in bis scholarships a$ Ox- ford. The blood of African natives and Godfearing Boers, slain that his dreams of empire might be realized, is enorusted thick on this other sort of ‘‘filthy Inore.’’ We had hoped that there was sufficient de- cenoy and manliness in the American young men Jof today to reject this gore-stained British bribe, but the codfidence was mis- placed. If the band of Satan himself prof- fered money, there wodld be some here ready to accept it. Rockefeller’s money smells sweet as compared with that of Cecil es. What Greed Gives Us tor Food. From the Public Opinion. ‘In a bottle of catsup recently purchased in New York was found enough aniline dye to color sixty-four square inches of white nun’s veiling. A small jar of con- coction labeled ‘plum jelly’ yielded enough coal tar dye to solidly color 256 square inches of white cloth. In the Barean of Chemistry are kept a number of large pieces of cloth dyed from the different colorings extracted from oans and bottles of food products. Similar pieces of cloth dyed from canned and bottled products were exhibited at the World’s fair. Sheets of wool and silk five feet square have been dyed with the artificial coloring found in a small quantity of strawberry syrup,catsup, jellies and port wines. Most of the soda fountain beverages are made almost en- tirely of coal tar dye, acids and artificial flavors without containing the smallest partiole of the fruits from which they are named.’’ i When Gambling is Gambling, and When it is Something Else. From the New York American. Strange, isn’t it, the inconsistency of our moral code ? To bet on a horse race is im- moral, even oriminal, unless you do it at the track ander the protecting cate of the eminent gentlemen of money and method who foster horse-racing purely in order to improve the breed of horses. To bet on the rise or fall of stocks—a thing that may at any moment be influenced by some popular flamboyant proclamation as that of Lawson yesterday—is commenda- ble business, provided you bes enough. If you can only chip in a hundred or two it" is ‘‘bucket-shopping,’’ and therefore de- spicable. ¢ It there is to be suppression of gambling, why not suppress all kinds? Can any one doubt that mere gambling in stocks has brought as much misery to families in New York as ‘‘playing the races 2’: Prayers for a Little Boy. Burgess Johnson, in Harper's Bazaar, Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take. And this I ask for Jesus’ sake. But while Ilive, I want to be from quick and angry passions free, With gentle thoughts, and happy face, and pleasant words in every place I pray, whatever wrong I do, I'll never say what is not true ; Be willing at my task each day, and always honest in my play. Make me unselfish with my joys, and gen- erous to other boys ; And kind and hetptal to the old,and prompt to do what I am told. Bless every one I'love, and teach me how to help and comfort each. ‘ Give me the strength right-living brings, and make me good in little things i —Amen.
