VOL. 51
The President Falsifies.
In his letter to Representative WATSON,
of Indiana, President ROOSEVELT touches
the limit of mendacity. When public sen-
timent was outraged a couple of years ago
by the President’s demand that an invita-
tion extended to Sir THOMAS LIPTON toa
dinner by a boat club, be withdrawn, he
put the blame on his sycophantic secretary,
which was a falsification. Last winter he
denied that through the medium of former
Senator CHANDLER he bad entered into an
agreement with Senators TILLMAN and
BAILEY to pass a certain measure, which
was a deliberate lie, and Senator BAILEY
declared it so in the Senate. In attributing
to the Republicans in Congress all the cred-
it for the good legislation enacted during
the last sesssion, he is equally guilty of ly-
ing.
“With Mr. CANNON as Speaker,”’ the
President writes, ‘‘the Honse bas accom-
plished a literally phenomenal amount of
good work. It has shown a courage, good
sense and patriotism such that it would be
a real and serions misfortune for the conn-
try to fail to recognize. To change the
leadership and organization at this time
means to bring confusion upon those who
bave been successfully engaged in the
steady working out of a great and compre-
hensive scheme for the betterment of our
social and industrial conditions.’”” That is
a mendacious and malicious aspersion on
the patriotism of the Representatives in
Congress of a great political party and a
falsification of the facts so palpable that
every intelligent observer of the events of
the last session of Congress must take no-
tice of it.
Every reform measure enacted by Con-
gress during its last session bad the unani-
mous support of the Democratic member-
ship, the only opposition came from the
Republican side and it was conceived in
the Speaker's room. Speaker CANNON
held ap the rate bill and tried to sacrifice
every meritorious feature to the railroad
lobby. Hehbad the meat inspection bill
emasculated for the benefit of the beef
trust of which he is the paid lobbyist on
the floor and he prevented the passage of
‘“‘the bille to prohibit political contriba-
tions by corporations and to lower the du-
ties on from the Philippive is-
lands.” er CANNON is a charlatan
and in falsifying the records to promote
his re-election the President proves himself
a bird of the same feather.
Well Done, York and Adams.
msn
The Democrats of the York-Adams con-
gressional district bave vindicated their
wisdom and patriotism and settled the
question of representation in the next Con-
gress for the district by nominating Hog-
ACE KEESEY for Congress. Mr. KEESEY
is a business man of the highest character
and most unquestioned fitness. He has
been for years conspicuously associated
with the development of the resources of
the city and county in which he lives and
enjoys the confidence and respect of the en-
tire community. The party couldn’t bave
made a better choice in the nomination of
a candidate.
The present district, composed of York
and Adams county appears to have been
created for the purpose of serving as an as-
set for trading operations by a few corrupt
Democratic politicians in both counties.
Twice excellent candidates were sacrificed
to the cupidity of those grafters and the
district, substantially Democratic, was giv-
en over to a rich and not too conscientious
Republican whose trust interests made it
worth while to buy the seat even at a stiff
price. Mr. LAFEAN probably got the
worth of his money but the nomination of
Mr. KEESEY by the Democrats is notice
that it is no longer for sale.
There never was any reason for a Repub-
lican Representative in Congress for that
district and the people never would have
been thus misrepresented but for the ve-
nality of a lot of miscreants who bad
usurped control of the party organization
in both counties. The district was created
by the late Senator QUAY in consideration
of a corrupt bargain which belped him in-
to the Senate on the occasion of his last
election. But even at that it is a sale
Democratio district if the Democrats are
just to themselves in the selection of can-
didates and this year they have done the
very best.
An Appeal to Democrats.
To All Democratic Voters:
If there ever was a time in the history
of the Demoeratic party for the manifesta.
tion of loyalty and patriotism on the part
of its members, it is right now.
If we are to win a victory and elect a
President two years hence, we must first
elect a House of Representatives this fall.
A Democratic House can and will in-
vestigate every department of the govern-
ment. With all of them honeycombed by
“graft,” the edges of which, only, bave
been touched by recent exposure and pros.
ecutione, there will be a revelation of rot-
tenness that will astound the country and
create a demand for a Democratic adminis-

tration to clean the government workshop.
To win the House we need money to de-
fray legitimate expenses and to get out our
vote. We have no protected monopolies
from which to draw to fill our coffers, as
they do those of the Republican party.
We must, therefore, appeal to loyal Demo-
crats for contributions.
Will you send us $1.00 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies of
our campaign literature as issued by the
committee. You will bave the thanks of
the entire Democratic party for your favor-
able response to our request.

Speaker Cannon's Boom.
The Republicans of Speaker CANNON'S
district have formally lauached bis boom
for the Presidency and in a speech which
followed he apprared to taVv. the matter
seriously. Bat it couldn't have been meant
to be so regarded by the public. It was
probably intended only asa help for him
in his congressional fight. Tbe labor in-
terests have declared against him and bis
friends feel that his election is in jeopardy.
To minimize the danger, therefore, they
suggested him for the higher office. Even
talking of a man for President invests him
with an importance he couldn't otherwise
hope for. It gets him votes for a lesser
place that he counldn’t ooder other condi-
tions secure.
But naming a man like Speaker CANNON
for President is a melancholy joke. He
has served seventeen terms in Congress
and has never sincerely cherished a princi-
ple. He has been on every side of every
question. A Greenbacker, a silver man, a
gold standard advocate in turn, he proba-
bly never cared for either. His district is
Republican and he has been a Republican
in order to bold his job. That is the sum
and substance of his political record. He
might bave been something else and the
chances are that he would have been any-
thing else if the other thing would the bet-
ter have served his purpose. He is simply
a charlatan and appears to feel a pride in
the infamy.
Bat Speaker CANNON has been consist:
ent in one thing. He Las always been a
corporation man. It involves no principle
and binds him to no policy. Bat it is bus-
iness. It brings him money. Almost from
the beginning of his congressional service
he has been a paid lobbyist. He has been
a recreant to duty, treacherous to the pub-
lic and contemptible in the eyes of decent
men. Bat it has brought him wealth and
power and that is the purpose of his life.
It never onght to bave made him a presi-
dential candidate. As a matter of fact, the
idea of such a man for that office implies a
low standard of political morality. The
office ought to keep above such things.
Olmsted and Young.
We regret to say that Mr. OLMSTED,
chairman of the late Republican State con-
vention, and Mr. RoBERT K. YOUNG, the
nominee of the convention for Auditor
General, have not been able to connect as
yet for the purpose of notification. Proba-
bly Mr. YOUNG doesn’t want to be notified
and possibly Mr. OLMSTED doesn’t want to
notify or vice versa. Obviously they are
not dodging each other for according to the
newspapers they were together quite awhile
last week. But they were not there in
official capacity, and being polite gentle-
men, they wouldn't take advantage of each
other.
Assuming that OLMSTED really wants to
notify YouNe we have in mind various
expedients that might belp him to the
achievement. He might give a dinner toa
select few, mostly reformers, at one of the
swell hotels in Philadelphia or Harrisburg.
Mr. YOUNG is a ‘‘valiant trencherman'’
with a keen appetite for luxuries and an
invitation to such a function, supposing
VANVALEENBURG were alse invited,
would be certain to bring him within the
range of the notification voice. Or he
might be rounded up like a bunch of
steers in a coral or looked into a room.
There are varions ways of killing a cat be-
sides choking it with butter.
There is a possibility, of course, that
Mr. OLMSTED doesn’t want to notify Mr.
YouxG and that he rather than Youxa
has the pickets out to prevent an official
meeting. OLMSTED has a lot to do with
the office of Auditor General, professional-
ly, and knows exactly how inconvenient it
might be to put that post in charge of a
man who considered the interests of the
people rather than those of the corpora.
tions. It is said that the machine has one
of the kind that would suit OLMSTED ex-
actly, in the person of Senator CUMMINGS,
of Warren county, ready to take the place
in the event that YOUNG is not notified.
Undor the circumstances it may be that
OLMSTED ought to be tied.

An Outrage and the Remedy.
The capitol building commission has fi-
nally consented to the mutilation of the
bronze doors of the new capitol by allow-
ing the heads of discredited politicians to
remain. The press and public bave remon-
strated earnestly and frequently. The in-
appropriateness of such a defacement has
been pointed out. The iujustice to the
people of the State bas been referred to.
Bat protests have been to no purpose. The
infamous machine is still sufficiently po-
tent in the affairs of the Commonwealth to
compass this iniquity. Vice and crimeare
canonized and ballot box stuffers, bribers
and grafters are held up to posterity as
representatives of the virtue and manhood
of Pennsylvania.
We bad boped that former Governor
STONE would fulfill his voluntary promise
to prevent this great outrage. He realized
the evil of it. He understands that a
grafter who escaped the penitentiary by
pleading the statute of limitation is not a
representative of the best impulses and
loftiest purposes of the people. He knows
that DAVE LANE and Iz DURHAM are fit-
ter specimens for the rogue’s gallery than
effigies to inspire noble thoughts and vir-
tuous purposes. But he badn’t the force
of character to put his good impulses into
execution. The power of the machine was
too strong for him and the great bronze
doors of the capitol which should bave
been monuments of vastness in wealth and
achievement are evidences of our moral de-
generacy.
There is one bope left that this disgrace
may not be enduring. It lies in the peo-
ple. The next Legislature can enact a
law for the removal of those disreputable
effigies. That is the only legal method
that is left. Bat if the people are just to
themselves it is a certain one. No right
minded citizen of the Commonwealth wants
his children to grow up in the belief that
Quay, PENROSE, PENNYPACKER and
LANE are models of citizenship. No bon-
est man believes that the canonization of
such grafters is setting a good example to
the futare citizens of the State. Yet that
is what the outrage implies and the only
way to correct the wrong impression is to
elect a Legislature which will promptly leg-
fel lte for the removal of the effigies.
Corporations Must Cough Up.
The indications are that the dollar sub.
geriptions to the Republican congressional
committee, to which the President so
ostentatiously contributed, are a fake to
cover up the nsaal payment of vast sums
to debauch the electorate of the country by
the corporations. Even for this purpose it
has proven a failure, however. The col-
lections have been so meagre and the dis-
appointment so great, that the machine
managers have been compelled to appeal to
the corporations openly. The intention
was to get the trust contributions secretly
and account for the abundance of the cor-
ruption fund by the statement that it came
from the dollar contributions. But the
importunate beggars made that impossi-
ble.
It has been announced, therefore, that
$6,600,000 must be raised by the corpora-
tions to guarantee a Republican majority
io the next Congress. There are 112 de-
batable districts, the statement alleges,and
$50,000 will be needed for each. It is ex-
pected that with sucha sum in each doubt-
ful district the party will be able to carry
them all. There bas been a vast change in
public sentiment, however, on the subject
of purchasing votes. It is neither as cer-
tain nor as safe as it used to be. But
there are venal voters yet in considerable
number, the Republican managers assume,
and it is worth while trying to line them
up. The corporations can well afford the
expense, morever, they reason.
But we don’t believe that the result
could be achieved even if the money conld
be collected and we don’t believe the cor-
porations will take the risk of contributing
the money. President
Speaker CANNON succeeded in preventing
the passage of a law to prohibit such con-
tributions during the last session of Con-
gress. Bat public opinion is fairly well
crystalized against the crime anyway and
the result of the election is so uncertain
that the corporations will be cautious. For
these reasous we are not worried much
about the result if $6,600,000 are necessary
to compass it. It will be impossible to
raise that amount and it couldn’t be used
in any event.
——Many Bellefonters as well as Centre
countians remember Frank Koch, who at
one time was turnkey at the jail in this
place and who eight years ago enlisted in
the Fourth Infantry, U. S. regular army.
For more than four years nota word was
heard from him or of his whereabouts
by any of bis Centre county friends and it
was feared he was dead, but last week his
mother received a letter from him which
stated that he was now stationed in Ken
tocky. That the last three years he bad
been in the Philippines and was very glad
to get back again on American soil.

School Fund Payments.
From the Harrisburg Patriot.
Some one whose zeal to serve the cor-
rupt Republican organization got the bet-
ter of his judgment has started a report
that the taxpayers of the State are out of
pocket because State Treasurer Beny has
promptly, as the law requires him to
0, the public school appropriations.
The argument is that use the schools
are not in session at the present time the
various school hoards have no need for
money, and that if the $5,000,000 involved
had been permitted to remain in the banks
for another three months the State would
have benefited to the extent of $25,000 in
interest.
This is straining at a gnat and swallow-
ing a camel. Because Machine State Treas-
urers withheld State appropriations the
districts bad to go to the banks and bor-
row money to tide over and Jay the com-
mercial rate for it, while the State gets
only 2 per cent. from the banks.
Moreover, it is not true that school boards
have no need for money while the schools
are closed. Let any man who is inclined
to believe such a tale investigate the local
situation. A careful study of the matter
would show that State Treasurer Berry's
prom yment of the public school ap-
pr ous has resulted in a splendid net
saving to the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
