The State Ticket.
While there might bave been an honest
diffecence of opinion as to whom the Dem-
ocratic part; of Pennsylvania should choose
as its standard bearers for the campaign
next fall there can be no doubt of the good
character, fitness and eminent respectabili-
ty of the men who were nominated at Har-
righarg or Wednesday.
The only serious question that entered
into whatever controversy there may have
been was the one as to whether it was bet-
ter to name a straight Democratic ticket or
fase with the LiNcoLy party. The expe-
diency of the latter proceeding will be a
matter for disoussion for years to come, no
doubt, but what matters it, after all. It

ity that confronts the people of Pennsylva-
pia and as their champion the Democratic
party bas agaia proven itself far beyond
selfish or partisan interests.

ties have placed their nominees on plat.
forms that make positive declarations on
national issues, but these will be regarded
as merely fore-runners of the next presi-
dential campaign and as baviog no real
bearing on the Pennsylvania crisis. There
is but one purpose in view and that is to
tear out the machine. Democrats, Pro-
hibitionists and independent Republicans
here meet on common ground and should
fight with equal determination for the
purification of the State. It is not a polit-
ical issue that the departments at Harris-
burg are reeking with corruption and dis-
honesty. It isnota political issue that
corporations and trusts are favored, while
the small taxpayers of the State are bar-
dened almost beyond endurance. These
are personal interests. They appeal to the
civic prideand the pocket-books of the
masses and for that reason we urge all, ir-
respective of party affiliations or past feel-
ings to rally for the cause of the clean,
honest and impartial government of Penn-
sylvania.
Those who stand for such a condition of
affairs wil! work and vote for

of Columbia
An Excellent Lesson,
The baccalaureate sermons to the gradu-
ating classes of several of our educational
institutions this year have breathed the
highest political ideals. One of the most
meritorious of these wae that delivered by
Rev. O. 8. KREIBEL, principal of the Per-
kiomen Seminary. His subject was ‘‘The
Testing of Human Character and Institu-
tions,’’ and he applied himself to the in-
iquities of the public life of the country as
this time. ‘‘We are in the midst of a sea-
son of searching investigation of all public
institutions, organization and combina-
tions of wealth and individuals,” he said:
Bat he didn’t stop there or apologize for
what followed. On the contrary, he ar-
raigned those who have perverted these
beneficent institutions. ‘‘The gigantic
corporations and captains of industry,”
he added, ‘“‘who have been conducting
these concerns, frequently for their own
selfish ag zrandizement and in utter disre-
gard of the rights and interests of the pub-
lic, have been put to the test and bave
been found wanting.” His remedy for
these evils is ‘‘to build into the structure
of our lives and of our institutions our best
thoughts, our noblest ideals, our loftiest
aspirations, our worthiest endeavors.”
Mr. KReIBEL is only right in part.
What he says is true so far as it goes but
the real duty of good citizenship is to put
the elements to which he refers not only
into our business life but into our political
affairs. We bave plenty of men moral in
their personal lives who vote to perpetuate
the iniquities of the machine in the public
life of the country. That is the greatest
impulse to vice. Machine politicians felt
safe in their grossest infamies because
Christian citizens would vote to keep them
in power. When that condition changes
the beginning of genuine reform will be in
view, :
——A ‘‘spawl” in this issue of the
WATCHMAN states the fact that in
Armstrong county there is an alarming
dearth of school teachers. With four bun-
dred and eighty schools to supply only one

tion and received certificates qualifying
them to teach. In Centre county there are
cloge to three hundred schools and the pre-
vailing trouble now is more teachers than
there are schools for, there being half a
dozen applicants for many of the schools in
the county.
STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
“BELLEFONTE, PA., JUNE 29, 1906.
President's Plans Panetured.
During a lucid interval, the other day,
the House of Representatives in Washing-
ton punched a large hole 1n the President’s
preposterous plans for the enlargement of
the navy. That is to say, that body con-
curred in the Senate amendment to the na-
val appropriation bill postponing the con-
struction of the 20,000-ton battleship un-
til after the plans have been submitted to
and approved by Congress. ‘‘The Presi-
dent is said to be greatly annoyed by this
interference with his naval program,”
writes a Washington correspondent. ‘‘It
will prevent new additions to the first-class
fighting ships for a year,” he continues,
which is unendurable. Emperor WILLIAM
ead King EpwaArp are building ships
right along and an inconsiderate Congress
has tied his hands,
Those of the American people who think
and understand will not share in his re-
grets, however. There was no more rea-
son for that $10,000,000 marine monster in
the navy than there is need for a diamond
necklace on a goat. It was au absurd con-
ceit of the President inspired by the fact
that a ship nearly a* large had been order-
ed for the British navy. ROOSEVELT can’t
endure the idea of being behind anybody
in anything. Like an envious child who
covets the toys of another, he wauts what-
ever any one else happens to possess or is
likely to acquire. The expense is no con-
sideration as long as the payment is made |
out of the public funds. The effect upon
the moral or material interest of the peo-
ple is equally a matter of indifference.
The public is indebted to Representa- |
tive BURTON, of Ohio, for this temporary |
escape from a needless burden. Mr. BUR- |
TON is a Republican but he bas long [felt
the danger of the profligacy in ‘naval con-
struction and equipment which has obar-
acterized the administration. Chairman
of the House committee on rivers and
harbors, he feels that the money thus
wasted might better be spent in the im-
provement of our navigable streams and
ports of entry. Such expenditures would
promote the interests of commerce and add
to the wealth of the country. The pro-
posed $10,000,000 battleship weuld achieve
no good on earth and could only be used
as a yucht for the pleasure of the Presi-
navy favorites.
The Pittsburg Millionaires.
The Pittsburg millionaires have been a
good deal in evidence lately. A couple of
weeks ago one of them comiuitted suicide
in the swell hotel Schenley. A few daye
later information came from over the sea
that CHARLES M. SCHWAB had lost a
quarter of a million dollars in a Earopean
gambling house. Next the wretched story
of Mr. CoreY’s family troubles gets the
centre of the stage and finally HARRY
TrAW deliberately murders a man in New
York. All these incidents have occurred
within a couple of weeks so that these mil-
lionaires have lately bad a prominent place
in the affairs of the world.
These Pittsburg millionaires bave ac-
quired their fortunes through unearned
bounties bestowed on them by the govern-
ment. They are the sons of iron magnates
or themselves active in the manufacture of
steel. As a rule, they have profited more
by the inventions of others than through
their own genius, energy or ability. But
having obtained the money they live riot-
ously lives of iniquity and scandal and put
disgrace and dishonor upon the fame of
the entire people of the country. They
are drones in the industrial life of the
world and parasites on society.
This vulgar display of wealth would not
have been possible if the economic laws of
the conntry had been just. Rich men who
gain their wealth by honest endeavor in
the pursuit of legitimate enterprises do not
parade their money and their iniguities.
That odious habit is left for those whose
‘‘easy money’’ is the fruit of the toil of
others or the unjust exactions from the
earnings of employees who labor incessant-
ly that their masters may indulge in ex-
pensive vices. The iniquities of the Pitts-
burg millionaires are the inevitable conse-
quence of protective tariff.
—— Huntingdon is making preparations
for a big celebration on the Fourth of July.
There will be a gorgeous parade, including
military organizations, patriotic and civic
societies, benevolent orders, fire companies,
ete. In the afternoon there will be horse
racing and a tug of war and sham battle
between Companies G, of Lewistown, and
E, of Altoona. At night there will be a
grand display of fireworks. Excursion
rates will be given on all railroads.
— Last Sunday in Look Haven must
have been a very quiet day for, according
to the newspapers of that place, a porou-
pine came down from the mountains and
wondered into the heart of the town before
it was discovered or molested. When dis-
covered the animal put up a bard fight,
but was finally killed. It weighed thirty-
dent, the kitchen cabinet and army and .
five pounds.
Expenses of two Candidates.
Colonel WaATRES and Banker THOMPSON
bave filed accounts of their expenses as
candidates for the Republican nomination
for Governor and taken together they form
an interesting study. Mr. THOMPSON,
who is a very rich banker of Uniontown,
wasted $17,020.22 on bis ambition and
Colonel WATRES, a wealthy ‘‘Jack of all
trades,” of Scranton, blowed in $14,121.68,
It may be worth while to remark that
EpwIN 8. STUART, a fairly well to do
dealer in old books, of Philadelphia, secur-
ed the prize without paying a cent. In
other words, the favor of the machine is
more potential than the coin of the realm
in a Republican convention, especially if
the coin is disbursed in the wrong chan-
nels.
Mr. THOMPSON, who ie a novice in poli-
tics, made what might be called a whirl-
wind campaign. That is, be organized a
campaign committee, established a press
bureau, bought buttons, hired marchers | §250 ¢
and paid car fare for rooters. His press
agent spent $7,287.82 in advertising and
the rent of his headquartersat Harrisburg
amounted to $853.12. His brass band came
to §647 and the cost for buttons rao up to
a total of $2,914.94. Colonfl WATRES,
with a larger experience, managed more
wisely. He paid out $524 for travel
ing and personal expenses and the balance,
$13,597.68, he invested in Mr. 8. A. BACH-
ARACH, of Wilkesbarre, who would bave
been cheap at any price.
Of course, as Colonel WATRES testified,
the investment in Mr. BACHARACH has
been set down as ‘‘for lawful expenses of
the campaign as set forth in the Act of As-
sembly.” He didn’t mean to imply that
the law requires BACHARACH, though it is
sale to assume that if Sor. had been able
to control the legislation some such pro-
vision would have been embodied in the
measare. What he intended to say is,
that Mr. BACHARACH, as manager of his
campaign, expended the difference between
his traveling and personal expenses and
the ‘‘demnition total,” and that presuma-
bly it was expended in accordance with
the law. Itis up to Mr. BACHARACH to
justify she confidence reposed in him by
making a detailed statement.
Finish Work in Hand. .
No doubt there has been quite as much
discrimination and injustice in the ship-
ment of grain as in the transportation of
coal and ofl. The recent investigation by
the Interstate Commerce commission un-
der the authority of the TILLMAN-GILLES-
PIE resolution has revealed a vast amount
of injustice in the shipment of coal. Other
inquiries have shown an equally bad state
of affairs with respect to oil and no doubt
the same is true of the shipment of grain.
But we doubt the expediency of extending
the scope of the present inquiry.
It is a good rule to tackle oneevil ata
time and pursue it until it is actually and
completely exterminated. In the coal in-
quiry it bas been shown that in considera-
tion of pecuniary favors on one side trans-
portation favors have come from the other
to the positive injury and sometimes the
complete ruin of competitors who were en-
titled under the law to equal protection of
the government and the laws. It would
be a mistake to divert the proper authori-
ties from the punishment of these offenders
by drifting into new fields of investigation.
After the question of discrimination in
the transportation of coal and oil has been
disposed of it will be time enough to take
up that of grain. Bat the coal and oil
proposition can’t be disposed of hastily.
The full extent of the iniquities must be
revealed, the responsibility fixed and the
guilty punished, not by censure or the fin-
ing of the corporations, but by the criminal
prosecution and summary punishment of
the individuals. That is the remedy which
will satisfy justice for the past and work
restraints in the future.
——On June 17th Samuel McMortrie,
of Coleville, celebrated his seventy-seventh
birthday anniversary and for his years is
about as well preserved as any man in Cen-
trecounty. He is an old soldier, having
served all though the war,and can recount
many thrilling tales of that strenuous time.
By occupation he is a brickmaker, though
he bas not worked at his trade for a num-
ber of years. For a long time he was one
of the road supervisors in Spring township
and proved a good official. One of his
favorite pastimes is billiards and it has
been only a few years ago since he could
handle the ivories with most any average
player. For out door sport hunting was
next to a mania with him and every year
he spent a couple weeks or more in the
mountains during deer season and it was
rare indeed that he failed tc come home
with his share of the fleet-footed animals.
Of course he does not hunt now like he
used to but he can still tell as good a
hunting yarn as any man who ever follow-
ed a trail.
