BY P. GRAY MEEK. ~The independence of the ‘‘Independ- ence’’ party is all dependent on HEARST'S | bar’l. —'‘My policies’ is the keynote of TAF?T's campaign argument, but ‘‘my’’ means ROOSEVELT. —Today the trout fishing season will end and men ordivarily known as honest will once more resume their habit of tell- ing the truth. —Mr. TAPT bas bad to visit an oconlist lately which indicates that he isn’t so ocer- tain of being able to see the right road to the White House. ~—Panama has elected a new President and be received every vote. It is possible that even Philadelphia might take a few lessons in holding elections from Panama. —There is nothing so disheartening [and discouraging to a working boy or girl asa growling boss. A few kind words now and then makes willing workers and gets better results every time. —Justice PIERCE, of Muncie, Ind., says he can see nothing wrong with the sheath gown, but possibly the Justice is one of those old sports who ought to have dust thrown in bis eyes on windy days. ~ TAFT'S speech of acceptance doesn’t voice any new ideas. Its keynote seems to be the same old thing that TEDDY owns him, TEDDY will control bim, and if elected, TEDDY will be the whole cheese. ~It is pearly always the case with the leaders of movements like that of the Independence party : Their piotures reveal many of them to be of that typeof fanatical individuals that you would almost be afraid to be alone with. —A Phoenixville man inherited ten thousand dollars only three months ago. He is dead now and merely enough to bury him is left. The story of the last three months of his life might make interesting reading for ANDY CARNEGIE. ~The independence party in its na- tional convention in Chicago on Tuesday nominated THOMAS L. HISGEN, of Massa. chusetts, for President, and JouN TEMPLE GRAVES, of Georgia, for Vice President. Quite a lengthy platform was adopted. —NAN PATTERSON, the ex-choras girl, who figured so sensationally in the three trials for the murder of CxEsarR Youxa, the New York tuarfman, bas the Pittsburg police guessing. They want her to leave town and she won't do it and you koow when some women say they won't they really don’t. —It1s reported that mosquitos are fond of whiskey and actually become intoxicated. While it is a pleasure to know that they enjoy a little side line alter boring into she epidermis of the genus homo, weare not surprised that they become intoxicated when they tap some of our gentlemanly “‘booze busters.” —Mr. WiLLiay R. HEARST and his Independence League are sure they are going to start a second Fourth of July: In years to come the day they first met, 80 WILLIE says, will be regarded by the American people with as much reverence as the Fourth. WILLIE got that idea be- cause be bas #0 many pin-wheels in his head. —The fake fight between the govern. ment and the Standard Oil company is to be kept up until alter the election, of course. Uncle SAM stands about as much chanoe of getting that twenty-nine million dollar fine as we do, but the public must be deceived while they are trying to elect TAFT to continue ‘‘my policies” as a fake trust buster and a fake in everything else. —Tbe Marathon race, the greatest event of the Olympic games, was won by Ha YEs, an American. He made the twenty-six miles in a fraction over three hours. It was a most gruelling, nerve racking ex- hibition of physical endurance and though really wonderful should he cat out of the events in the Olympic. It might have been all right for men to kill themselves for sport in the old arena at Athens, but in these days we have different ideas of where real sport ends and brutality begins. —When the batteries of the Heavens were turned loose on the soldier boys in camp at Gettysburg it is reported that some of them bad oconniption fits, others took to praying and still others wra their heads up in blankets so as not to see the lurid glare of the lightning, but of all the exhibitions of soldierly weak koees the one made by one of the grooms who fell on his knees and prayed : “Mr. God, don’t take me take JiM MILLER!" was the pippin. JiM MILLER happened to be ancther of the same company’s servitors. —Congressman BARCLAY was in Belle. fonte on Saturday aud, naturally, shere was kow:towing for fair among the post- masters and their makers. Of course things are not as favorable to Mr. BARCLAY over here as some of his friends would liké to bave them and he might as well be told right now that there is nothing to the con- gressional fight in this section -but WaLk- ER. Mr. WALKER is a young and energetic man and when he’ goes to Congress he will do something.” Bag- CLAY has bad a chance and ham't a thing to show. So far as qualifications are ognoerned Mr. WALKER has nothing to fear by comparison with ‘the present in: oumbent and, in fact, we are of the opin. ion that he is fisted to make afar more useful member of Congress. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. The Standard Oil Fine. The decision of the United States Cironit court of Chicago annulling the $29,400,000 fine against the Standard Oil company not ouly strips the RoosEvVELT administration of all achievements in the master of “‘trust busting,’ but it justifies the severest oriti- cisms thas bave been uttered againet the federal judiciary. It may be that Judge LANDIS, who imposed she fine, was a trifle hysterical, ander the impulse to win the favor of the President, and that a fine of $29,400,000 against a corporation with a ospital of only $1,000,000 was excessive, But when the Court of Appeals predicated its reversal, even in pars, oi the ground that the trial cours refused to hear evi. dence that the agent of the railroad com- pany which gave the underrate didn’t know that there wae a higher rate publish. ed, it simply betrayed the fact thas it in- tended to relieve the corporation, right or wrong. The defendant in the lower court was the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the capital stock of which is only $1,000,000. Bus it was shown in the evidence that that corporation ie merely a subsidiary of the Staudard Oil company of New Jersey which is capitalized at $100,000,000, and thas the andercharges were all made under orders from the New Jersey corporation. Tech- vically the larger corporation was not on trial. That is to say its name was not in- cluded in the indictment, bus its oriminal- ity was proved, under the law, anyway, and it ought to have been punished. The Court of Appeals has made that impossible, however, for notwithstanding the obvious guilt of the New Jersey concern, it is the concensus of opinion amoung lawyers that there can be no appeal from the decision of the Court of Appeals. Another trial of she Indiana corporation won't help the matter in the least. Of course President ROOSEVELT will de- clare that the prosecation will be contin- ued notil justice is achieved. Bat that is simply a characteristic ROOSEVELT false pretense. He koows, if he knows any- thing at all, that the matter is ended and the chances are that he will have some- body solicit a campaign subscription from ‘the Standard Oil pompany because it has escaped the severe penalty imposed by the trial court. ROOSEVELT is an arrant ham- bug. He has not accomplished a single re- form with all his ‘‘fues and fustian’ aod be is always ready to deal with the ‘‘male. factors of great wealth’ if they will give him the long end of the transaction. “Dear HARRIMAN would never have been denounced if he hadn't refused to contribute to the Republican eampaign fand of two years ago, and no criminal that divides the spoils with the Republican party is in danger. Mr. Dimeling's Re-election. The re-election of Hon. GEORGE M. DIMELING, of Clearfield county, to the chairmanship of the Democratic State com- mittee, guarantees a sane and safe manage- ment of the Democratic organization for another year, at least. Senator DIMELING didn’t covet the honor. He would have mach preferred to give his time and ener- gies to his private affairs during the mouths between this time and the election. Bat he yielded to the importunities of his friends and obeyed what seemed to him a public duty. There were pirates ready to board the ship and scuttle it and he saori- ficed his personal inclinations and inter- ests to prevent that result. Haviog made the sacrifice, however, Senator DIMELING bas a right to expeot the cordial and earnest support of the Democratic people in hie endeavor to pro- teot the Demooracy from its enemies. He bas a right to the loyal and active help of every Demooras in the State in the work of organization and the labor of getting out the vote. He will do his part so she full measure. He understands that he will be bampered more or less by selfish men whose ambition to control bas been dis- appointed. But be believes that if the vast majority of she earnest and honest Democrats of Pennsylvania will co-operate with him in the work of the campaign that the vote for BRYAN and KERN will be the largest ever cast for Democratic candidates in the State. = There are ball’ a willion honest and faithful Demooratio voters in Pennsylvania and while they not strong enough to give the electoral gote of the State to the Democratic candiflates they are strong enough, if they m their full daty, to increase the congressional delegation and add vastly to the! number of Demooratic local offices in the State. We ought to greatly increase dur membership in the Legislature, moreover, and is is Mr. DIMELING’S purpose to make the best use of every opportunify to improve the estate of the Democracy. | We hope that his just expectation of Daljit not be disappointed. —Quite a ndmber of Centre county horsemen are in Hollidaysburg this week attending the mid-summer races of the Blair county driver's association ; though no horses from this place are entered. Right The Democratic state committee oconld bave saken no other course than that adopted at the meeting in Harrisbaryg, last week, without sacrificing she self-respect of it* members. Every gentleman who participated in the proceedings is a sincere friend of WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN aod earnestly desires she success of the Demo- oratio ticket. Bat in the action of the Denver convention the fundamental prin- ciples of the party were outraged. In un- seating men who were regularly elected delegates and who sapported their claim to seats in the convention by certificates trom the governments of a sovereign State the sacred principles of home rule were violated and she Democratic state committee had no recourse except in ite solemn protest. It is not to he assumed, however, that the members of the committee who pursued that course are less earnest in their sapport of Mr. BRYAN because they protested against the prossitution of power which was thus condemned. It is because Mr. BRYAN's policies are the embodiment of Demooratic principles that the Democratic | people of the country are so fondly attach- ed to him and in reboking the perversion of those principles hy selfish men for sin- | ister purposes, Mr. BRYAN is endorsed in- stead of being opposed. No man helps Democracy by violating the cardinal principles of the party and no Democrat fulfills bis party obligations if be fails to rebuke the wanton outrage of those principles. This proposition is self- evident, It may safely be said that if Mr. BRYAN bad net been misinformed with respect to conditions in Pennsylvania, the incident against which the state committee protest- ed, would never have occurred. Of course be had no part and probably no sympathy with the movement. Bat if be had known the exact facts he would bave interposed to prevent itand the delegates who either don’t understand or don’t care for funda- mental principles woald bave been less willing to lend themselves to a conspiracy which was disgraceful. Happily the affair is a olesed incident now, however. The highest Demooratic authority in Pennsyl- visnia has registered its protest against the crime and the entire party will now turn attention to getting out a Inll vote for Mr. BRYAN. A National Brain Storm, President ROOSEVELT has heen elected bouorary president of a peace orgauiza- tion, the object of which ie to promote preparations for war and he has gravely ao- cepted the place. In the correspondence between the President and the gentleman who bad the honorary gift to dispose of, both say that they favor big armies and vavies and abundance of war materials. But when our government has acquired enough of these to conquer the world, they add, substantially, the time will have ar- rived to favor peace. The worid will then be in a state of terror and keeping the peace will not be a difficalt task. Bat it will be both a needless and a thankless service, The beat means of promoting peace ie not the organization of peace societies or the preparation for war. It lies in the direotion of just dealing with the world and minding our own business. So long as this country gives no canse for war there will be no declarations of war ageinst vs. Whenever we give all our mental energy to attending to oar own business we will begin building up defences against war thas will be more effective than battleships and big guns. In ten years of that sort of practice in this country we could command the markets of the world, both for agricul- tural and manufactured producte, and that achieved no power, nor all the powers com- bined, would dare engage in war with us. From the beginning of this government the American people bave been for peace. The only conquests which appealed to oar people were those in the arte and agrioul- tare. In those we have excelled from the stars and there is more honor in our achieve: ments in those lines than shere would have been in subjugating the world through the medium of war. But ROOSEVELT has misled a large proportion of the people into military lines of late years and though the frenzy is disappearing it is still a menace against which we must guard for some time to come. Is will disappear in time and belere long will be recalled asa horrible nightmare. It is a National brain-storm. ——James Adams, the eleven year old son of Oscar Adams, of Philipsburg, bad a narrow eecape from death on Monday. In company with Isaac Horn he was ont on Troy's hill gathering huckleberries. While walking through the bushes he stepped into an old air shalt and feil to the bottom, a distance of filty feet. The lad was not even rendered unconscious and was able to fasten a rope around his waist which Mr. Horn lowered and was thus drawn ous of the shaft. Though considerably shooked aud bruised no bones were broken and no serious results are anticipated. BELLEFONTE, PA., JULY 31, 1908. The New National Chalrman, The Democratic national committee could bard ly bave chosen more wisely in the selection of a chairman. Hon. Nor. MAN E. MACK, of Buffalo, New York, is not only a gentleman of the highest char- aoter bus be is a political manager of great ability. He is owner and editor of one of the great newspapers of the country and he bas acquired his position by industry, en- ergy and understanding. Men who achieve such results ‘make good’’ in any position in which they are put. It may eafely be predicted that Mr. MACK will get the very best results possible oat of the campaign. He will be assiduous, earnest and honest. Now that the national committee has been organized there ought to be no delay in beginning the work of the campaign. It is troe that the average citizen is nos in- clined to consider political questions in dog days, as a rule. But things are differ- ent this year from what they have been and the average citizen ie ready at any time now to listen to reason which leads up to an explanation of she causes of a panic which came upon him in the midst of plenty. With abundant crops and a willingness to work, all around, there is something extraordinary in a condition which menaces the (masses with want. There ought to be industrial activity in- stead of paralysis. The Republican national committee is preparing for campaign work immediately. The managers of that party .realize that popular sentiment is drifting away and they hope to check the movement hy early activity. I'he Democratic managers ought to be equally alert to facilitate the change. The people don’t need education but they do need attention. The pablic schools have made the American electorate a prac- tically intelligent body. But they bave not cared the tendancy to lethargy. The campaign committees must do that. They must keep the citizen alive, not only to his interests but to his opportunities, and that accomplished shere can be no yunestion of the result of the coming election. Bryan and Labor Interests. The best answer to those representatives of labor who are criticising Mr. SAMUEL GoMPERs, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, because he has declared that he will support Mr. BRYAN for Presi. dent, is contained in the resolutions of the Central Labor Union of Lincoln, Nebraska, on the same subject. The men who com- pose the body are neighbors of Mr. BRYAN and kuow his publio and private life even to his babits of thought. With this know!- edge they npanimonsly pledged him their support and such a pledge from such a source is a certificate of oharacter as a friend of labor which is genuine. As a matter of fact there can be no two opinions among intelligent men as to which of the two candidates for President prom- ises to best subserve the interests of labor. Judge TAFT was the first of the judicial of- ficers of the country who prostituted the injunction into an instrument for the co- ercion of labor into the slavery of capital and he never repented of his act until he became a candidate for President. On the other hand Mr. BRYAN has from the be- gioning of his public career advocated the policies which inure to the advantage of ‘‘men, not dollars,” as he frequently ex- pressed it. In proffering his support to Mr. BRYAN, therefore, president GOMPERS simply re- flected the sentiment of the workingmen who know Mr. BRYAN as a citizen and neighbor. If his sympathies were not with them they would know it as the laboring men of Cincinnati know that TAPT has not been their friend. These facts constitute a safe guide, moreover, for workingmen who are not personally informed on she subject. Wage earners in Peansylvania must depend upon the information they get from Lincoln and Cincinoati and they can rest assured that such information will be accurate. Both have spoken. ——The celebration of a birthday de- pends usually rather upon the generosity of our friends than upon ourselves, as re- ceiving gifts seems the normal method. Dr. A. W. Haler celebrated his in the true way—making his friends feel they were glad he bad birthdays. Our gift trom him was a basketful of most delicions plums and there is perbaps no one in this visinity who bas a better selection of fine varieties of this trait than Dr. Hafer. ——To show how striot the rule of the Pennsylvania railroad company against intoxicated people riding on its trains is being enforced was the example at the station in this place last Saturday, when a resident of Huston township, who was “‘filled almost to the brim,’’ undertook to get on the train to go home and was not only prohibited from doing so ty the con- ductor but turned over to the police as well. —How are you gettin’ along with your work. Was There a Leak? From the Altoona Times. The reversal of the twenty-sine million dollar fine imposed upon she Standard Oil company sinks into insignificance, in the cies of she Jo Sines the b that purport e Grosscup’s decision bad been made known to insiders ome month before it was handed down. That a powerfal malefactor is immune from ponishment for crimes of high and low degree extending over a period of many years is not a trifling matter, bus interest in it halts while the public contemplates the haunting spectre of a commercialized sours where Justice no longer sits enthron- It i» common talk among Chicago stock brokers that the opinion reversing J Landis was known long before it was e public. It is estimated that private source of imformation was a Boston broker, who transac's business for a near relative of Judge Grosscup. All this, of course, may he idle speculation, and a serious and unde. served reflection upon an apright jarist. Yet the grim fact remains thas although it was known that Judge Groescup was to render his decision on a certain day, the market never wavered in its upward trend. There was not the slightest indication of uncertainty, although there was no certain- ty thas the judgment of Judge Landis would not be sustained. There is nothing 80 uncertain as court decisions. Right up to the moment when the decision was made public property, when a sustaining of Judge Landis would bave meant a orash, carrying value downward, the market remained as firm as the rook of Gibraltar. And then the brokers continue to talk. It looks black for the boasted integrity of the courts. The failure of the government to colleot the fine is i uential, but the loss of respect sustained by the court is irreparable. ben she people once lose confidence in the coarts, then all is lost. The bulwark of our government, the prop of our rights, dragged in the degrading mire of stock speculation, is the hardest blow that can be struck at our institutions. A Matter of Opinion. From the Lancaster Intelligencer. The action of the federal court at Chicago in striking down the imposition of the great fine imposed by the district court shows the great uncertanity of the laws as they are administered. The dis- trict judge was within the law in deoreeing a five undoubtedly imposed by the law, hut the graver of the reasons advanced by the superior court for upsetting his im- position seems to he that his fine was ton big for a first offense, and that the patsy fined was not properly proven to be the parent corporation of the little fish that was caught in the net. It was a matter of poor discretion and too acote discernment in the opinion of she court above ; to which it may be fairly replied that if the fine is admitted to be lawful, it was the disore- tion of the tnal judge that was lawfully empowered to make the fine, and that it wae hardly in the discretion of the appel- lant court to repeal the result of his dis- cretion with that of its view. The matter being within the discretion of the judge below, bis judgment could hardly be fairly interfered with ; and certainly it was hard- ly within the proper discretion of the superior court to charge him with indisore- tion if the matter was within his disore- tion. But the court ahove gets into action on the ground the Standard Oil company, which wae the old bird the court below was gunning for, was not in evidence, hut only the fledgling that the old bird put in the nest. This may be ; but it is clear and un- denied even by the reserving conrt that the Standard Oil company was correctly adjudicated as the parent of the fledgling, and that the burthen of the fine fell on it. As a matter of fact, this is not to be dis- puted. What is alleged is simply that it was not properly in evidence. And asa matter of fact, what this court has decided is that the Standard Oil company hae been punished too severely ; which is a matter about which its opinion is no better than anyone’s. Passing of Platt, From the Pittsburg Post. Senator Platt’s political days are num. bered. Probably no boss ever wielded a greater power over his party in his own State or the Nation than Tom Plats. It will take New York many years to recover from the baneful influence of the ‘‘easy hoss,”” a title as truthful as eupuonions. For many yeare he has been to New York what Quay was to Pennsylvania. Federal and State appointments and nominations were made at his beck. His word was law from which there was no a . The lash of Plast was administered to all recalcitrants, and any Republican who sought political preferment must have his indorsement or remain in obecurity. In recent years little has been heard of Platt other ¢! when be bobbed up as a defend- aot in some scandalous suit in the courts. The time is coming, and we believe it to be not far distant, when boss rule will be only a historical term. There has been an evolution in politics. There was a time when a few influential journals of the coantry swayed multitudes of votere. The people are doing more thinking for them- selves than ever before, as is attested by the frequent changes of political complexion in States and muncipalities. A scramble is already on in New York for the senatorial seat that Platt will va. oate next March. There are plenty of good and capable men in both parties in New York, any of whom would be a credit to the State and Nation.
