Col. H. 8. 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. Vote for
Col. Taylor for Congress and jou will
make vo mistake,
—Johnu Porter Lyon, with Mrs. Lyon,
the Misses Hareis and Edward Hayes start-
ed for Williamsport in the former's big
Cadillac car, last Saturday morning, to
take in the Carlisle Indiaus—Siate football
game. The roads were so muddy that they
left the machine at Lock Haven and com-
pleted their journey to the Lumber city
by railroad; which was the most comfort.
able apy way, inasmuch as it rained a good
part of the time.
-—The voters of Centre county may
think is does nos require much qualifi-
cation to be a jury commissioner, but in
that they are mistaken. It takes just as
much good, sound common sense to com-
petently fill that office and equitably fil)
the jury wheel as it does to fill a wore im-
portant office and that is just the reason
why Apax Hazen, of Spring township,
should not be overlooked.

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-

charities and necessary public

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.’
