VOL.51 Expensive Decoration and Finshing, | State Treasurer BERRY has called the attention of the Attorney General to the fact that $260,435.15 was paid for ‘‘decora- tion and finish of plaster walls and ceilings in the grand executive reception room, House of Representatives, Senate, Supreme aud Saperior court room and the grand rotunda and dome” of the new capitol, to J. H. SANDERSON and to PAYNE & Co. That is to say payment for that service to that amount was made in duplicate, the Capitol Building commission have paid PAYNE & Co. and the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings having paid J. H. SANDERSON. PAYNE & Co. made no al- lowance or gave credit, if alterations in the plans relieved that firm of the obligation to do the work. As it stands, therefore, the treasury was looted to that extent on that item. Of conrse $260,435.15 is a trifling frac- tion of $13,000,000 or thereabouts, but it ought to be enough to attract notice. The decoration and finish of plaster walls is not an expensive process except in extraor- dinary cases. Gold leaf costs money and where it is liberally used bills of expense ran high and rapidly. But decoration bills of over a quarter of a million dollars are so infrequent, even for public buildings of the most pretentions sort, that one would think that both the Building Commission and the Board of Public Grounds and Baoildings would bave taken notice and made some inquiry as to what soit of decoration and finishing was per formed at such an expense. The inquiry would have revealed the duplication, al- most necessarily. The information concerning this partic- ular duplication was conveyed to the As- torney General ten days ago but he doesn’t seem to have taken notice of it as yet. He may have been busy, meantime, and as he stated in an apologetic letter before the election, he is short handed. Bunt it seems to ue that be has bad time enough to make an examivation and if the accusation is correct, inaugarate preceedings to compel restitution. One time is as good as another, as a rule, in most things, but the prosecn- tion of the late Senator QUAY for the misoge of the State revenues proved thas it is not always thi¥ease. In other words, the statute of limitations sometimes defeats justide and prooeadings, for the}recovery of funds stolen from the treasury ought to be taken promptly. Little to Expect from Congress. The Fifty-ninth Congress has entered upon its last session, the President has made some important recommendations but it may be said that little legislation will be enacted outside of the regular ap- propriation bills. It is more than likely that such legislation as the President rec- ommends in relation to the Panama canal will be enacted for public semtiment favors that enterprise. There is a bare possibility, moreover, that the Philippine tariff bill will be passed, foc justice requires such a concession to the Filipinos. Bat we have reason to hope that the ship sobsidy and other predatory measures will be defeat- ed. One of President ROOSEVELT'S fants is an inordinate desire for legislation. He hopes to convert the government into a centralized organization from which indi- vidaal life will be entirely eliminated. He wauts the big stick and an appropriation instead of the flag and he will exhaust all his energies id an effort to achieve his purposes. Bat his expectations will bardly be fulfilled. In she public mind the tradi- tions of the Republic are still cherished and Congress, under the admonition ex- pressed in the vastly decreased Republican majority, will obey the voice of public opinion. Whatever the disposition the courage to take the other course is absent. There are some things which might be done by Congress which will fail with other things that ooght to fail. For ex- ample, the currency legislation 1s defective and by practice though not by law the Secretary of the Treasury bas fallen into the babit of usurping powers that are dan- gerous. But wecansee no reason to hope for improvement in this respect. The frenzied financiers find wost of their oppor- tunities in the unuvcertainty of cnrrency conditions and they will interpose to pre- vent legislation which might interfere with their sources of graft. All thiuzs consider- ed there isnot much to expect out of this session of Congress. Don't Mean to Uncover Anything. Mr. Attorney General CARSOX is out in an interview alleging shat *‘so far no substan’ tial proof of BERkY'S charge of graft in the construction of the new Capitol building has beeh evolved.” And so far as Mr. CARSON is concerned it never will be if he can cover it up. Weeks ago the WATCHMAN predicted this. He is not in office for the purpose of convicting his friends, nor do=s he seem to unearth or prevent frauds against the State. His only efforts so far in the State Capitol crime bas been 0 ask a #, CLEVELAND. Tot of questions of the fellows suspected of -— STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. getting away with the swag, just as if they | would tell on themselves or return the stolen money, simply for the asking of it. When he goes for the State’s agents, the Building Commission and the Board of Public Buildings and Grouuds, it will look as if he was at least making an attempt to find out the guilty parties. But announe- ing to the public that his queries to the builders, architect and contractors bave ‘evolved no evidence of gralt’’ is only what everybody knew would be the result of his work, and more firmly convinces the public that he don’t mean to have any- thing brought to light that can be kept un- der cover. An Unfit Aspirant. We sincerely hope that Governor PEN- NYPACKER'S expectation of a return to the bench by appointment to fill a vacancy soon to be created by the resiguation of Judge BEeITLER, of Philadelphia, will be disappointed. It is neither unjust nor in- appropriate to say that Mr. PENNYPACKER is anfit for sach a service. He is cithera mental degenerate or a moral pervert. If he understands the constitution and knows the law he is absolutely indifferent to his oath of office. He bas violated the organ- ic law of the State daring his terw as Governor, whenever the exigencies of the political machine required such sinister service. Soch a man is not fit for any public office and is especially unfic for the bench. PENNYPACKER bas served twelve years on the bench, having been catapulted into that place by the late Senator QUAY as a recompense for some personal service. While there his court was a safe shelter for ballot box stuffers and political erimi- nals of all sorts. He never interfered with the industry of debauching elections or corrupting the electorate. When QUAY was under the bar of public execration PENNYPACKER resoned him by an absurd- ly falsome enlogy which described his in- iquities as amiable weaknesses. For that perveraion of a gift of vatnre QUAY bad him promoted to the office of Governor. In that office he bas immersed the State in a boundless and bottomless ocean of shame. He wil retire from the office of Gover- nor in five or six weeks and ought so be &l- lowed to sink into an infamous oblivion. In a public experience of sixteen years he has nothing to his credit. As Governor he has prostituted public authority to the basest uses, bis administration baving more than that of any of his predecessors been corrupt aod iniquitous. He has no claim apon popular respect or even public toler- ance. His appointment so the bench would be an insalt to the conscience of the Commonwealth and an oatrage upon the integrity of the people. We don’t believe that Governor-elect STUART will lend himself to such an evil exercise of power. The thought of itis distressing. Discipline the Coal Trust. There is no possible excuse for the recent arbitrary and excessive increase in the price of coal. It is neither the resalt of scarcity nor of an advance in the expense of production. In fact it can be attributed to nothing other than the greed of those who constitute the coal trust. They feel that they have the power to charge what- ever they please and fix the price at the highest notch which public patience will endure. There is no fear of the big stick in the offices of the coal barons. They re- member how the prosecution of that trust was stopped when Attorney General KNOX was taken out of the prosecuting office. Coal is almost as much a necessity as food, raiment aud air. The production of it ought to be on a legitimate business basis. The owners of coal mines are en- titled to a fair profit on their investment. The carrying companies deserve a just compensation for their services to the pab- lic. But neither the owners of mines nor the carriers of the product bave a right to combine and through the coliusion fleece the consumers. The profit should be based on fair treatments. The business should be subject to houest competition. Collusion which works injustice to the masses is criminal conspiracy and ought not to be tolerated. The recent advance in the price of coal ought to he investigated and, if itis in violation of law, prohibited. We are not in favor of paternalism. We bave no sym pathy with unjust or undue governmental restraints. But corporations are creatures of government pnd should be held to fair treatment of the people. Anything less than this is injustice to the tax payers who maintain the government in order that they may be secure in property and per- sons. The coal trust is inviting the mail- ed hand of power. It should not be with- held so long that it may become impotent. At least the trust should be warned in ample time. ~—If ROOSEVELT runs for President in 1908 he probably thinks he won't need Cal- ifornia. INE is 1 _BELLEFONTE, PA., DECEMBER 7, 1906. Penrose and the President. Those friends of President ROOSEVELT wha supported Sznpator PENROSE'S ticket a month ago in order to sustain the Presi. dent will watch with curious interest the issue of the conflict between the President and the Senator inaugnrated with the in- troduction of Senator PENROSE'S resolution of inquiry on Monday. The resolution em- bodied a request for information concern- ing the dismissal of a battalion of colored troops for the reason that a few of the troops bad created a disturbance in Browns- ville, Texas, which resulted in the marder of three or four citizens. But Senator PEN- ROSE has no interest in the troubles of the negro troops. He wouldn't care a farthing it every one of them were dishonorably dismissed or shot. His aim is notjthe wel- fare of the negroes but the confusion of the President. It does look as if the President had gone too far in this affair of the negro troops. Of course it is the result of his anxiety to re- cover the popularity in the South which he lost in the Booker Washington incident and the postoffice affair in Mississippi. Roose- VELT is a creature of emotions. He doesn’t know anything about principle or much concerning honor. He wants to be re-eleot- ed President and will resort to any ex- pedient to achieve the result he imagined that dismissing those negro troops, justly or otherwise, would promote his political interests and he didu’t stop to consider whether the action was legal or not. Law, organic or statuto. ry, is alike a matter of indifference to him. He thinks he is above the law and in the absence of conscience such notions lead to all sorts of mischief. But PENROSE has as little {respect for conscience and law as the President and no reasoning man will imagine he has been moved to his attack upon the President by considerations of patriotism. On the con- trary be bas taken advantage of one of the President’s mistakes to punish bim for his refusal to help the machine in the recent contest in this State. The President could discover no advantage in giving aid to such a discredited crowd fand declined to say a word for the machine ticket. It was not on moral grounds that he with- keld his endorsement however. He conld take SAM SALTER to his bosom and cher- ish McNIcHOL if there was anything in it for him. Bat with so vast a number of Republicans against the outfit he thought the ticket would be defeated any way and simple declined to attach himself to a lost | BF cause. But PexRrosE fooled the people notwith- standing the refusal of President to belp him and he is now out for reprirals. He made a lot of gudgeons believe that his ticket represented the President notwith- standing the President's repudiation of it and that not only without the President but in spite of him. The stupidity of the electorals of Pennsylvania was greater than he imagined and he is now taking advan® tage of the popular credulity to ‘‘hoist the President on his own petard.” We can’t say that we have any deep feeling of regres that these two selfish politicians are in dis- agreement with each other. There is an axiom that when ‘‘rogues fall ont honest men come by their own,” and we have about a» mach faith in ROOSEVELT ns we have in PExRosg. They are both working political chicanery to the limit and itis a case of ‘‘every man for himsell and the devil take the hindmost.”” PENROSE has Roos RVELT on the bip and we hope he will make the best of his opportunities. Homer L. Castle. We learn through some of our esteemed contemporaries that Mr. HoMER L. Cas- TLE is now vehemently denouncing the PENROSE machine. This may be interest- ing to a few but it is not important, gen- erally speaking. Mr. HoMER I. CASTLE is sack a notorious mercenary that what he thinks of a party or an individual is of no consequence. For a consideration, dur- ing the recent campaign, he helped the machine in the crucial contest of its ex- istence. In denouncing it now he is simply proving his own immeasurable iniquity. HoMeR L. CASTLE has simply put him- self outside of the arena of decency. in the campaign of 1905 he performed valiant and effective work in the interest of civio righteonsness. Because it was appreciated he undertook to hold the Democratic party up this year for an exorbitant reward. The failure of his expectations influenced him to attach himself to the atrocious ma- chine which he bad previously denounced and in that prostitution of his energies he revealed not only inconsistency but im- morality of the worst type. It has been said that daring the cam- paign Mr. CASTLE was on the payroll of the machine in the attention.

The farm not only remains the founda- tion of the country’s : its ob scure magnates are the : n captains of the country’s greatest industry. They stay in the lead and are ting extraordi- nary gains. The sum total of the output of all classes of maoulacturing establish- ments compiled by the census authorities in 1900 was less than double the value this ear of the products of the farmer alone. © 1906 the farmer shows aa increase of nearly $500,000,000, or Sey eént. over 1905, and of more than $2,000,000,000, or 31 per cent. over 1900, Prices have not heen exceptionally high, while crops have been enormous. Here is a boom resting on asolid basis to make Wall street turp een with envy. In this one year the farmer has produced enough out of the soil to pay for all the railroads in the United States if they were drained of their water. His produoots for two mouths would bay a $1,000,000,000 Steel Truss dollar for dollar, actual value, and leave a handsome margin. Secretary Wilson puts the corn crop at $1,100,000,- 000, which would more than suffice to re- build the entire Harriman and Hill rail- road systems and allow liberally for con- struction scandals and stock manipulations, Out of a $640,000,000 cotton crop a Stan- dard Oil Trust could be purchased and enough left over to start a few nasicual bauks and speculate in copper. ‘‘If the hens of this year,’’ says Secretary Wilson, “had each laid a dozen eggs more than Suey dig, the Josrensed yaiag of the pro- uction wonld bave possibly aggregated $50,000,000. : Shonis On to His Job. From the Pittsburg Sun, Theodore Perry Shonts is the hired man of Theodore Roosevelt and locum tenens of affairs at Pavama. Mr. Shonts, who is off his job for a few days, for what reasons we are uot informed, did a fair job of incense burning in au interview, which contiden- tially tells a palpitating public just what he thinks of his great chiel. We bad un- derstood there was some rain in Panama while the great Theodore was there, ‘‘bus,”’ saye the lesser, “*he took it by storm.” Panamaus are #o deeply interested in our Natiooal precedents shat their summary sundering and setting aside by Him of the Big Stick overwhelmed them with admira- tion. Then says this Boswell: ‘‘Mr. Roosevelt was familiar with the watk the- oretically, and saw and understood more daring his short stay than the average man would in a muchglonger time.” No “‘av- erage man,’’ mind you, is be to his faith- ful henchman. Aud the diggers of Pauva- ma were inspired with the thought that they might become as those who dug in- trenchments on our battlefields. Does this mean more pensions ?
