Taylor Tor Congress, Up to this time the WATCHMAN bas said very little abont the party nominee for Congress in this distriet, Col. H. §, Taylor, of this place, and we want it dis. tinetly understood by everyvhody that is was not because we did nos approve of the choice bat because Col. Taylor ig =o well kvown that it iz almost impossible to tell auything new about the man, Col. Tavler is possibly as well if not better known throoghout Centre county than any other mau and if it were not for the fast that this congressional district extends beyond the bordeis of cold Centre it really would not be necessary to say n werd about him, as his election would be assured. The history of his bovhood and early manhood is that of the exceptional boy who, by hig own indomitable energy works his way through schoo! and college until he equips himself for the practice of law. In polities be has heen hefore the people of Bellefonte and Centre conny for a num- ber of years. His fisst office was tax col- lector of Bellefonte and as such he acqaitted himself vo ereditably that he was re-elect ed and re-elected unti! hie declined 1a he a candidate. He made the ran for sheriff of Centre county as a tine when the He publican patty was at its strovgest and was elected by a hig majority. In that capacity he served the county to the fnll measare of his ability. He has at sarions times been chainman of the Democratic county committee and as such invariably led his party to vietory, Col. Taylor is a man of commanding pres- ence and a sendy and forceful talker and, if elected, and there i« no reason why he should not he, will make » very representa. tive member of Congress. In addition to his private life he has been connected wiih the National Guard for the past twenty years and as captain of Campany B brought that orgavization up fo its present high rating of efficiency, while be himself was just lately elected to the lieatenant col- oneloy of the Fifth regiment.

Col. J. L. Spangler presided at the meeting an: there was a lopg lish of vice presidents. With a few preliminary re- marks Col. Spasgler introdnced Mr. Emery as the first speaker of the evening. He spoke very briefly and confined himsell principally to telling how the Governor | bad usurped the legislative poner by cut- ting the appropriations to charitable in- | stitutions in order to accumulate a hig sur- plus to spend on the capitol building. In this respect he made a good point with his | audience by telling hew the Bellefonte hos- | pital appropriation was cut $1,000 and that $103,000 was chopped off the original | appropriaticn to The Pennsylvania State | College. The principal speech of the evening was | made by State Treasurer Berry. In his address he reviewed the corrept | condition of affairs in this State and told of | the good which resulted from the defeat of | the machine candidates last fall. He tol 1] iu full the capitol story of how he dis- covered the expenditure of nine million | dollars for ‘trimmings,’ while the gang | had #0 voeiferonsly proclaimed that the building hod been completed for less than | the original appropriation of four million ! dollars. He told how au item in the origi- nal contract called for wood floors costing $7,100 bat enother kind was put in which oost $167,530. In conclusion he raid: “I he'd thas the ereotion of such a pala- tial building for the use of a few men, and the wranfiontion of the pride of a larger pewher iv withont exense, while many charities and necessary public works are dented the support they need.

Beniy was followed by Rudolph Blankenhuig who made what was consider ed the wittiest speech of the evening. He was unsparing in his seathing criticism of the gang and the way they have been loot. ing the State in years past. He said that he was in some ways like a woman and be- lieved in a change of styles. That under Pennypacker’s administration and the regime of the capitol commission checks have been the prevailing fashion as Harris- bug; but change the admiuistiation and at lust sorue of the people will wear stripes, M:.

Magnificent New Building Handed Over to the Governor, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SPOKE Harrisburg, Oct. 5.—The magnificent row capitol building of Pennsylvania was dedicated with brief ceremonies in which President Roosevelt partici- pated and in the presence of the great. est crowd Harrisburg has ever seen. For months the commission having charge of the dedicatory ceremonies ha: been preparing for this event. The eulmination of their eflorts came when in the presence of o tremendous crowd the new $13,000,000 building was turn- ied over to the state by former Gov- ernor William A. Stone, and accepted ‘on behalf of the commonwealth by | Governor Pennyvpacker. During practically the entire time the exercises were being held rain fell, but even this failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the thousands that had gathered in front of and about the grandstand. Governor Pennypacker and the re- caption committee awaited in the ro- tunda of the capitol for the coming of the president. Pretty soon the stal- wart form of Roosevelt entered the great bronzed doors. In a moment he was shaking hands with Governor Pennynacker, who gave him a most hearty welcome. As the presideht entered the capitol he remarked to the governor: “By Jove. governor, these are nice bronze doors.” The governor presented the presi- dent with the handsome guld medal that the stafe had made for him. Mayor (Gross, representing the city, presented him with the Harrisburg gold medal. Headed by the governor and the president the party proceeded to the grand stand, Former Governor Stone formally delivered the capitol to the state, but his voice was weak and there were not many who heard what he was saying. At the close of his address Mr, Stone presented to (Governor Pennypacker the great golden key of the capitol, which he took from a magnificent caso that is shaped like a keystone. Governor Pennypacker in accepting the key, spoke in exceptional good voice and was frequently interrupted { by applause, and when in concluding he introduced President Roosevelt the applause was deafening. The President's Address. Prosident Roosevelt followed closely i the manuscript of his oration. He declared that the time is at hand when the federal government must be given power to regulate “swollen fortunes” in so far aus they are devoted to busi- ness purposes. If the government is not granted this power, he said. the result will he ultimate impotence in | handling the greatest problem of the day, namely the control of corpora. tions The president then said the power of the federal government should be ! increased. Continuing: “It we feil thus to increase it, we | show our impotence and leave our- : i selves at the mercy of those ingenious legal advisers of the holders of vast corporate wealth, who, in the perform. | ance of what they regard as their duty, and to serve the ends of their clients, | Invoke the law at one time for the { confounding of their rivals, and at an- i other time strive for the nullification | of the law, in order that they them- selves may be left free tn work their unbridled will on these same rivals, i or on those who labor for them, or on | the general public. { “In the exercise of their profession and in the service of their clients these | astute lawyers strive to prevent the passage of efficient laws and strive to i secure judicial determination of those that pass which shall emasculate them. They do not invoke the consti- tution in order to compel the due ob- servance of law alike by rich and poor, by great and small; on the contrary, they are ceaselessly on the watch to cry out that the constitution is violated whenever any effort is made to invoke the aid of the national government, whether for the eflicient regulation of railroads, for the efficient supervision of great corporations or for efficiently securing obedience to such law as the national eight-hour law and similar so-called ‘labor statutes.’ Praises Reforms in Pennsylvania.
