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.

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

tion. It is the rule rather than the ex-
ception now and the: brazen boodlers who
practice such crimes appear. to be proud: of

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:

Penrose and Pemugpuclor.
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

ass Jand because legislation for cities of

ticular eity it’ must have been special Teg,
lation according to the decision.
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
