Carnegle's Approgr: ate Ben: flecence
Mr. CARNEGIE could hardly pas bis sar-
plus wealth to a more appropriate ase than
that expressed in bis recently announced
purpose to endow a hospital for the treat-
ment of tuberculosis. He has contributed
as moch as any other man toward she
spread of that dread malady throughout
the country. His fortune is variously esti-
mated at from a half so three-quarters of a
billion dollars. Assuming the larger figure
to be the more accurate estimate, it is safe
to say that in its acquisition shere has been
sacrificed to the demon of greed a human
life for every hundred dollars he bas accum-
ulated. It was a high price for the conn-
try to pay for Mr. CARNEGIE'S vast for-
taoe bos there is some recompense in the
thoogkt that is will be pus to good use.
Mr. CARKEGIE'S vast fortune is the care-
fully conserved froit of long continued
special privileges. Is ie the prodaesct of
tariff taxation of the people for Mr. Car-
NEGIE'S benefits during a loug period of
time. Tariff taxation is imposed by legis-
lative log-rolling. Some gentlemen who
reside in Wyoming or Utab own flocks of
sheep on the fleeces of which they want
‘‘protection.’”” Another group of gentle-
men who live in Pennsylvania own iron
and steel plants upon the products of which
they want the same special privilege. The
Wyoming man doesn's care how high the
tariff rate is fixed on iron if he gets what
be wants on wool and she Pennsylvania
man doesn’t care moch what tariff tax is put
upon wool if be gets what be wants cb iron.
So they ‘‘pool their issues,” each gets what
be wants and the people pay the piper.
And the result is misery, suffering and
death to the victims of this unholy com-
pact. There is not wool enough raised in
she country to properly clothe the children
of the wage earners and the tariff tax en-
hanoes the price of what there is to such
an extent that only the rich can wear wool-
ens and the children of the poor are expos-
ed to the ravages of tuberculosis and other
pulmonary diseases. The climate of this
country is severe hut in the early period of
our history pulmonary maladies were not
prevalent in the ratio of today for the rea-
son that then proper clothing protected
men, women and children. Now only the
opulent can afford woolen clothing while
others shiver and suffer in tabercolosis-
breeding shoddy or cotton made of rags
from Continental Europe.
The Sinte Constabulary.
The State Federation of Labor which held
its annual session in Harrisburg last week
strongly coodemped she so-called state
constabulary both in the speeches of those
in attendance and the resolutions adopted
by the body. These constables, the federa
tionists declared, are used by industrial
corporations to intimidate workingmen and
suppress strikes. Because of thas, they
add, the constables work a subversion of
the personal liberty of the citizen and are
inimical to the interests of the public.
From the view point of organized labor
that is probably a valid objection. It is
certainly so if they interfere with the legal
rights of workingmen as the president of
the organization alleges.
There is, however, a graver objection to
the state constabulary than any that was
expressed in the convention of the Federa-
tion of Labor at Harrisburg last week. It
is that such a force in a free State is ob-
noxious to the fundamental principles of
local sell government. The constables can
do no more to restrain strikers or intim-
idate workingmen than the state militia
which is always available to prevent the
destruction of property or assaults upon the
persons of ewployers. To our mind it
makes little or no difference to the strikers
whether constables or guardsmen are sum-
moned to suppress strikes. Bat the orea-
tion of a loroe of the character of the state
constabulary with power to exercise police
authority in communitiesin which they are
aliens, is a serious matter.
The original purpose of the state con-
stabulary was to supply comfortable births
for men who might be used as political
agents throoghout the State. The plans
were not fulfilled for the reason that about
the time the force was created the political
revolution of 1905 made the bosses afraid
and the force was converted into a rather
decent hody of constables. Their existence
is a mevace, bowever, their presence in a
community an insult and all citizens should
join in the demand for the repeal of the
law. This can be achieved if the working-
men of the State will withdraw their sup-
port from the political machine but thas
far they bave shown no inclination in that
direction.

——Scouts of the two big leagues will
endeavor to induce Larry Vorbis, ‘‘Heff”
Hirsbman and “Ball” McCleary, three
State College athletio stars, to make their
debut into professional baseball after the
College commencement in June. All the
above are not only loctball stars, but their
plaring on the diamond is almost equally
brilliant and managers of several of the big
league clubs have an eye on them.

——Why do Bellefonters patronize the

else for anyways near the price. Good piec-
tures, good music, good order and a good
place to go, is it any wonder the crowd
goes there every evening. You are always
sure of seeing an up-to-date program of
moving pictures and illustrated songs, and
very frequently an added attraction of some
specially interesting feature film. In any
evens, it is always the bess there is on the
market, regardless of cost. Aud five cents
pays for it all. ~~.
