Sn —— [1 | 3 VOL. 50 STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. __ BELLEFONTE, PA., JU NE 30, 1905. The Philadelphia Revolution nist Revolutions are always swift. There was haidly a perceptible period of time from the monient when Louis XVI was the most insolent moearch in Europe until France bad passed through ‘the ‘‘Reign of Terror,” and’ the Republic to the Empire of Napo- leon.” But no revolution that we recall moved as swiftly as that which has com- pletely overwhelmed the Republican wna- chine of Philadelphia. At first we hoped bus.couldn’s believe, It seemed too good to-be true. It was almost inconceivable shat an‘organization so completely entrench- ed that ‘it conld use the police and the courts to promote vice and crime could he overturned in so brief a period. But the facts are obvious. [he DURHAM which was a recognized Republican machine is destroyed absolutely and forever. Of course in this we assume that the peo- ple of Philadelphia, baving asserted their power, are going to make reasonable efforts to maintain it. There are traitors among them ready to betray. There are con- spicuons business men and social stars who have been sharing the loot obtained by the machine’s crimes and like JOSEPH G. DAR- LINGTON and the twenty hypocrites assooi- ated with him, they are: all ready to'sur- render.” Bat happily they are vastly in the minority now and if the decent citizens are true and vigilant there will never be a ‘time when the same machine can again exercise the vast power which was its. We ‘don’t say that corrupt government will never be restored. On the contrary, we be- lieve it will, for power breeds corruption. But not during the period of the life of those who made and control the machine. This result is gratifying because it im- plies something more than the rescue of Philadelphia from the control of the boodlers. It will probably result in the resoue of the state government though in that work the progress will be slower. But the millsof the gods grind exceeding fine and the elimination of ‘fraudulent votes in the elections of the next couple of years will make a vast change in the results. In- stead of the overwhelming machine ma- jority of she last Legislature the next ses- ‘sion will show an anti-machine, if not an actually Democratic majority and the re- tirement of Senator PENROSE from the public life whioh he bas disgraced. That party will probably make good nominations for a couple of years, but they won’t be able to fool the public in that way. For any other office than Supreme Judge the Demoerats could win this year. Boodling in Pennsylvania. In sentencing five boodlers on Saturday last Judge WILLIAM A. MARR, of Schuyl- kill county, said : ‘The system of grafting and boodling has permeated the entire State and is bringing disgrace and contumely upon our. Commonwealth and it must be broken up. I wish it distinotly understood now, ‘‘he continued, “that from the highest to the lowest official I will ‘visit punishment on all who are found guilty before me of crimes of this character and the higher the official the greater will be his punishment.” Therenpon . he sentenced each of the five men who had confessed so extorting money from the friends of. school teachers for ap- pointments to the: service, to one year in jail:and a fine of $100°and costs. ligent and observing oitizens of ‘the State. Not long ago such things were rare in Pennuylvania and when a man was sus- peoted of such, practices ‘be ‘was shunned by ail, decent gitizens.. Bus it is not s0.now. In every community: the. boodlers hold ap their beads’ among the influential: citizens and scarcely take: the trouble’ to’ conceal their'operations. © Tt is’ no longer’ a ‘cause for ostracism for the most conspicuous busi: ness and professional ‘men sell their influ- ence for money and official favor is.almost. {nvariably obtained by bribery and corrup- tion. It is the rule rather than the ex- ception now and the: brazen boodlers who practice such crimes appear. to be proud: of their achievements. ed There is a cause for this deterioration in the moral tone of pablin sentiment and it. is not diffionlt to discern. T¢ is the natural fruit and logical result of the late. Senator QUAY’S vicious dominance in the public life of the State. For years he had been teaching hoth by example and precept the gospel of graft until he bad finally before his death so completély permeated the atmospkere with venality that we are no longer surprised when a new orime is ex- posed and a hitherto unexpected public official is caught ‘‘with the goods onghim.” This graft. is simply. QuAyism.: The late: Senator was responsible for the most of it: and. was himself the moss: dariog and ' suo: cessful orimioal of the’lot. “Yes ‘a corrupt Legislature bas provided: for PS monument to bie virtues.

Harrisburg dispatches published in the morning papers of Tuesday indicate strain- ed relations between the Governor and Senator PENROSE. The Senator ran up to Harrisburg on Monday, the story goes, to see His Excellency. There has never been any deep-seated: affection between these Republican statesmen, we bave reason to believe. It will be remembered that soon after PENNYPACKER entered upon the duties of his office PENROSE and DURHAM visited him with the view of giving hima tip or two concerning appointments. Bus though they notified the Governor of their coming, by wire, he wasn’t at home on their arrival. © He had gone to WETZEL'S swamp to hunt bugs and they were obliged | © to wait his leisurely return. That was humiliating, of course, and it was said that PENROSE for some time enter- tained thoughts of resentment. But QUAY assured the Governor that his colleague was all right and since their relations have been of the most friendly sort. In fact it is confidens- ly : asserted that on every proper occasion since the Senator bas expressed a strong preference for PENNYPACKER for Justice of the Supreme court. - Of course there are those who say that the Senator was infla- enced by a desire to get some one else into the Governor's office but that is necessarily ‘only a matter of conjecture and we prefer to helieve that the Senator was sincere and really admired the Governor. But there is no chance for such an opinion now. The interview on Monday was dis- tinotly unsatisfactory to Senator PENROSE and that means, if it means anything, a ‘parting of the ways for those who have in- terests in common. When DURHAM visited cordiality. The Governor summoned At- torney General CARSON and the three in- dulged in a happy reunion which termi. nated in a luncheon at the Executive man- sion. No such compliment was bestowed on PENROSE, however. He got the marble heart and the chilly hand. But there may be a reason for the difference. DURHAM has been practically convicted of grafting and therein resembles QUAY, while PEN- ROSE has no such distinction. A —— How ‘About. Plummer. The machine managers are freely discuss- ing a proposition to withdraw the Phila- delphia ticket nominated a few days be fore the recent ‘‘outbreak’’ in that city and substituting candidates likely to be in better repute among the decent voters. Their candidate for sheriff was president of Select council when the gas steal was put through and voted for it. Their can- didate for coroner is a police magistrate who has been a creature of the machine and their nominees for commissioner kept SAM SALTER in office notwithstanding his villainous record. The managers feel that all those men will be defeated and hope to avert that by withdrawing them and sub- stituting others. That is all right as- far as it goes, bus how about the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, Hon. J. LEE PLUMMER, of Blair.county? No man on the Philadel phia local ticket was as obedient to the ma- chine a8 ' PLUMMER. No man connected Judge MARE bas simply given utterance | with the machine was as impudently in- : $0 a fact which must be known to all intel- different to the interests of the Appropria- tions committee of which he was chairman during the last. session and reported what- ever bills were endorsed by the bosses in the Boas streét mansion. Representative. HAYS, of Butler connty, publicly accused ‘him. of betraying the people in order $o. serve the [purposes of the hosses, | - Mz. PLUMMER, as member of the Legis: Insure; “voted for every iniquity which the machine proposed or favored. He was one of the most earnest advocates of the Pahl bill’ and ‘an _ enthusiastic supporter of the EHRHARDT bills, all. introduced and pass- ‘ed for the purpose of - promoting vice aod ‘protecting crime. He supported the “rip. per’ and every pinch bill ‘and squeeze bill. that was considered. He was in at the start ‘and'prezent at the finish of every legislative infamy during the session. What's the nse, therefore,in asking RANSLEY, LUKENS, WI LDMORE and - BLACK to withdraw. if PLUMMER is to be allowed to remain on. It is not likely that one will choke on a gnat who can swallow a camel. ——Aococording to the Philipsburg Ledger Philipsburgers are very much ‘‘sot up’’ over Dr. W. 'W.

Bub there is still a graver reason for. re- gretting that the Supreme court has deolar- ed the law invalid. It implies a’ want’ of legal knowledge and understanding on the part of Governor PENNYPACKER which absolutely unfits him for a seat on the Su- judioial réputation acquired by service on the Philadelpbia Common Pleas bench. We have always believed that legal learn- ing was entirely unnecessary for service on the bench of Philadelphia. Ability. fo shield eriminals and promote crime is all that has been required in'the past. = But ‘something else is essential to acceptable servioe on the Supreme bench and this proof mental equipment of Governor PENNY- PACKER is therefore fatal to his ambitions. We can’t have a _newbekall on the bench of the court of last resort. It it could be said that PENNYPACKER carelessly approved this particular piece of machine legislation, the consequence of it with respect to his qualifications for judicial service might be overlooked. But no such excuse oan be offered. The bill was soru- tinized with the greatest care and as the Governor is under sworn obligation to ‘“‘support obey and defend?’ the constitu- tion it is impossible to imagine that he would approve an unconstitutional bill knowingly. His approval is, therefore, | eévifience that he didn’t know it was un: | constitutional, or to state the matter more clearly, that he is not learned in the law and bas no understanding of ethical ques- tions. Moreover, if the approval of this measure had been the first evidence of his lack of qualifications it wounldn’s be so bad. But he has signed so many unconstitutional bills that there is no escape from the con- viction that he lacks legal knowledge.’ Roosevelt’s Hypocrisy. If there were anything necessary to prove the insincerity of ROOSEVELT as an official and his hypocrisy as a man, his recent action in relation to Assistant Sec- retary of State LooMis supplies is. Pre- vious to obtaining his present ‘position Loomis was United States Minister to Venezuela where he was in the habit of buying up olaims against the poverty- stricken government and then threatening $0 turn the guns of a warship on the cap: ital if the claims were not promptly paid. For this dishonest and despicable practice Seoretary TAFT severely censured him only a few weeks agd and the President approv- ed she action. © But ina dispute between Mr. Loos ‘had. exposed some of Loomis’ irregularities and thus brought a scandal on the admin” istration. ‘proved the accuracy of the information. Among other charges it was alleged that while Minister LooMis bad acted as at- ‘torney for the Asphalt trust in a claim: against the Venezuelan government and re- ;eancelled check was shown as evidence in and denounced as disloyal to the govern ment while LooMIs the criminal has been ingenuity. For example, since the facts in this Venezuela case have been exposed LooMIs has been appointed Ambassador Extraordi- nary to France to attend the ceremonies incident to the delivery of the remains of JOHN PAUL JONES to the. American fleet sent there to receive them and, as if that was not enough, he has been appointed Ambassador Extraordinary to visit all parts of Europe ard inspeot the American oon: sullates there and report if any improve- ments are needed or can be made. .
