Tuesday’s elrction therefore a reasonable
discussion of it cannot be made. It is ap-

in. New York,” where JEROME has won

in Ohio, where a Secretary of the
President openly declared that it was the
duty of every honess citizen of the State to
vote with the Democrats as against the
corrupt order of things under so called Re-
publican rule ; and we see it in our loved
State, where—thanks be to God—civio

crunty aleo carries its lessen and admoni-
tion to both the leading parties. When a
Democrat can carry 1t by nearly a thou-
sand and then the same voters tnin around
and give a Republioan for another office a
majority of nearly six hundred itis evi-

personal preference that rends all parts

Result im Ohio.
"The election of the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio 18 scarcely less sur
prising than the result in this State and
singularly enough it is attributed to ery
much the same canre. In other words it
represents a popular protest against the in
iquities of a party machine, bardly as in-
famous as that which prostituted the offi
eal life of Pennsylvania, but bad enough to
arouse the public conrcience and influence
the civic pride of the people to action. The
pendalom which has been swinging in the
wrong direction has changed its motion.
The Republican candidate for Governor
of Ohio ix a man of the highest respectabil-
ity and unquestioned personal probity. His
private life is faultless, if not ideal, and as
has heen said frequently of J. LEE PLUM-
MER during the campaign his domestic vir-
tues comwand respect. Bus like Mr.PLUM-
MER he had through weakness permitted
himself to become the instrument of a ma-
chine in it8 atrocious assaults upon public
morals and popular rights and he has been
smitten with the force of pent up wrath.
His offense was in that he contributed to
rather than perpetrated crimes against the
public.
The result in the two great States is an
admonition to the leaders of political par-
ties that in future proper respect must be
paid to decent public sentiment and due
regard given to the obligations of public
morals. It is not a bad sign, either,or ove
to be regretted. While the mirror of de-
cency is held vp before the public gervants
of the people there isnt likely to be the
open distegad or moral obligation which
has been the rule of the machines of Penu-
sylvania and Ohio, ucw happily things of
the past.

Lessons of the Election.
At this writing, Wednesday morning, an
intelligent analysis of the vote is impossi-
ble though the lessons of the election are’
clearly defined aud the causes of the result
easily conjectured. WILLIAM, H. BERRY,
she Democratic nominee and the candidate
of the people for State Treasorer, has been
elected by an overwhelming majority. Con-
important. That, is to say the office is
practically without patronage or political
prestige. But in the result the greatest
fountain of gfaft and consequently the
most vast source of power has not only
heen taken away from the Machine, but
absolutely eliminated from the political
equation.
Possibly she splendid politieal eruption
in Philadelphia was the primary cause of
what may be justly designated as a politi-
cal revolution in the State. The people
had been suffering for years from the ills
which necessarily flow from political venal-
ity. But they were surprisingly pa‘ient
and might have endared for some time to
onme, if the climax of iniquity hadn’t been
t ouched in the chief city of the Common-
wealth. It is gratifying, however, to know
that when the conscience of the. public was
aroused and the civic pride of the people
awakened, the effect was felt in every sec-
sion and throughout the length and breadth
of Pennsylvania.
The defeat of the Machine, moreover,
promises, if it doesn’t guarantee, houest
elections in the future and that is probably
the most valuable feature of the triumph.
For years this State bas been goveined by
officials chosen by fraud. The present
Governor has no right to the office which
he desecrates and his predecessor was
«qnally dependent upon the phantom voters
of Philadelphia and Pistsbuig for his com-
mission. Bat we will have no more such
miscarriages of justice. The elections will
be honest hereafter and men honestly
chosen have little reason to he coriupt in
office. This is above all the reason why
we should rejoice over the election of Tues-
day.
Roosevelt and his Cabinet.
During the campaign for the 1ezeneration
of Pefusylivania there was neither time nor
inclivation to follow the President in bis
curious movements. Charity begins at
home, the proverb has it. and the same is
true of ovher things so that while the gues-
tion of greed and graft or honesty and hon-
or was before the people of this State we
dido’s bother moch with what the Presi-
dent was doing outside of the relation of
his movements with the affairs of Pennsyl-
vania. But now that our own troubles
have been composed we may fitly turn at-
tention to the President.
And he bas been giving us plenty of
food for thought during the past three
months. He has been exploiting his no-
tions in great shape within that time not
only in reference to international affaiis
bust in regard to domestic conditions, He
engineered the treaty of peace which ter-
did achievement,and he'‘went up againss?’
minated the Russo-Japanese war, a splen-
the yellow fever germs in New Orleans, a
most courageous act. "But he did some-
thing more daring still. He put muzzles
on the members of his cahinet and told ~uch
ontspoken fellows as TAFT, RooT and BoN-
APARTE that they should hold sheir
tongues unless it suited his fancy to pert
them to wag.
According to information from Washing-
ton this muzzling der bas not been re-
ceived ve ry

uewspapers of recent is-ue informs the pub- |
lio that at the first session of the cabinet
after the order for silence was issued, RooT
and BONAPARTE ‘“‘spoke their minds?’ free-
ly on the subject and frankly told tbe Pies-
ident that bis muzzling order was inpohie
to uce a mild phase. But so far as the
public knows there has heen no vacancies
in the cahinet either. In other words 1he
cabinet officers are going to hold their jobs
even if they have to hold sheir tongues.
Now Get Busy.
Now that the election is over suppose we
all turn our attention to businers. We are
amoung those who believe that the first du-
ty of the citizen is to fulfill his civie obli-
gations. That is, 1b is infinitely more im-
portant thas the merchant shall do is hess
10 secure honest and efficient governments
than that he sells a dre-s pattern or even a
piano, or a mowing machine. But having
dove his best to secure good government
and the opportunity for that essential labor
baving passed, it is only just and proper
thas he should now directs his attention
and bend his energies to selling what he
has to sell or buying whatever his neigh-
bor may bave to «ffer for sale.
In other words, now thas the election is
over let us all turn our attention to buying
and selling or mavufacturing the thiugs
which other people want. Happiness iu
this world depends laigely npon coutent-
went and nothing that we know of contrib-
utes 80 muc! toward contentment as com-
mercial activity. Tie man who is too
busy making or buying or selling articles
of common use to meddle in the private
affairs of his neighbors is usevally a very
contented and excecdingly bappy individ-
nal and we can see no reason why every
man in this town and county may not be
thus occupied. Anyway there is plenty to
do in she industiial and commercial world.
The WATCHMAN freely offers itself as a
vebicle of communjeation between the
manufacturers aud the buyers and sellers
of commodities. We waut to see every-
body in this town get busy and with-
out prejudice to civic obligations or
public duties we hope that every
citizen who has anything to sell ur needs
anything that some one else has to sell will
make the facts known through the ample
and always open columng of this news-
paper. Such publication will probably
make work and cause weariness hut thas
is what makes contentment and happiness,

Tuesday's Election in the Coumy.
© We win again! This in a nutshell sizes
‘up the result of Tuesday's’ election, when
the Democrats elected their entire ticket
with the exception of Ellis Shaffer, for
Shenff. Hany J. Jackson, for Regi--
ter, and S. H. Hov, for auditor. And this
fact alone is the only drop of bitterness in
our cup of joy: and thanks giving.
WL Betlefate: the -eleotion--pasved- voff-
gmietly enough. There was the usual work
of he waid heelers after the floaters hut
there were no disturbances. The vote cast
in B-llefonte as well as throughout the en-
tite county with the possible exception of
several precinets on the south side was one
of the largest ever polled in an off year and
can he artiibuted solely to the fact that
county chairman H. 8. Taylor, had per-
fected on organization which made a spe-
cial ¢ffors to get the vote oat and possibly
mme than all, the interest manifested
throughout the county in elecring honess,
competent men to fill the county offices.
And 15 is to he deeply regretted thas enough
Demoorats in the gounty cus their tickes to
defeat Shaffer and Jackson.
The defeat of Jackson is especially de-
plorahle as he was one of the “hess men on
the ticket but he was snowed under, not so
much hy the popularity of his oppouent
bus through a combivration of political ex.
igencies that seemed to concentrate all their
devious ill effects against him,
The result was no surprise in the Demo-
cratic organization. The only surprise was
in the Republican camp where they expect-
ed to elects their entire sickes, and on what
they based their hopes is hard to conceive.
The only reason that Shaffer was defeated
for Shenff is because a special effnt was
made by the Republicans to elect Kline.
even to the sacrificing of all the balance of
their ticket. = The Republicans also pat
forth unusual effort in Liehalt of Miller and
Baviey, for County Commissioners, but be-
tween the voters rebelling against any
third term precedent and Bailey’s friends
working for him alone Miller,who ordinai-
ily was regarded as the strongest man, was
defeated and Bailey elected as the minority
member,
The closest vote on the entire ticket was
that between John C. Rowe and Cyrus T.
Hall, for Recorder, the former winning ous
hy the small margin of ten votes. For de-
tailed returns of Tuesday’s election see
table in another column.
The electien of Dr. Frank K. White, of
Puilipsburg, for County Tieavrurer, is more
of a personal victory than anything else.
The campaign made against him was rife
with misrepiesentation and teeming with
tricks that should have been far beneath
those who conceived them. He made a
clean, hard canvas of the county and when
the returns were recorded Tuesday night
the highest compliment that could have
been paid any man was marked on the
political history of the county when Phil
1p8hurg, South Philipsbuig and the Rushes
rolled up she largess vote for him ever
given a Demoorat,

congrat ulations over the Demoeratie victo-

plauds the downfall of the grafters in Penn-
sylvania.
How Can We Expect Ii?
Two years ago, when County Superinten-
dent C. L. GRAMLEY, broke away from a
long established custom and took the an-
nual session of the teachers’ institute of the
gonnty to Pnilipshuig we heard po end of
comment and criticism of his action. It was
not that Bellefonte was jealous f Philips-
barg or resented any movement she might
be interested in, bus: nieyely, beioanse we
the county seat town. The teachers were
all delighted with their treatment in Phil-
1psharg, which was not a matter of suiprise,
for that place knows how to be hospitable,
and now we learn of movements that are
on fuos to take the institute either back to
Puilip:burg or to some of the other towns
of the county like State College, Howard,
Centre Hall or Miliheim.
While it does nos seem probable that
such a move will be successful it need not
be a matter of surprise if it is. Next week
the institute is to mees here and the prin-
cipal sources of revenue ic will have will
be the evening entertainments in the court
house. Instead of their having no oppo-
sition three entertainments for the opera
house and a coucers in another hall in town
are billed against the Iustitnte engage-
ments, with the result thas the receip:s
from the same will he materially rednced.
The saperintendent has gone to the trou-
ble of engagmmg fine talent in order that
the teachers may be well entertained and
the people of Bellefonte should lend their
aid iastead of trying to detract from bis ef-
forts. How can we expect the institute to
meet here if we donot give those who
have to finance its sessions a chance to
make the expenses?

pleasantry is over in Centre county the new
