Taft is Kicking Hard.
The President protests that he will no
longer select candidates and write plat-
forms for his party in the several States.
‘The President has about reached the con-
clusion that the several State organiza.
tions of the Republican party have been
“making a goat” out of him and that
doesn't present him to the country ina
dignified attitude. TAFT is a trifle super-
sensitive on the question of dignity. It
is a hard matter for a fat man to look
dignified at best and TAPT's efforts in
that direction have provoked more amuse-
ment than admiration. He can stand
that, however, better than he can endure
the odium which has thus far attended
his feeble efforts in the role of a party
boss.
TAFT is not what you would call a con-
structive statesman and when called upon
to select candidates and write platforms
for States in which he is not over well
acquainted, he usually “makes a fist of
it,” with the result that his advice gets
scant respect. He had selected a candi-
date for Governor of Ohio but the party
machine promptly rejected his selection.
He was invited to pick out a candidate
for Governor of New York and upon
-compliance had his candidate thrown
back into his teeth. Massachusetts
wants him to express a preference be-
tween men in that State and finally
Maine insists that he shall come into
that bailiwick and “save the face” of the
party. But he declares that he will have
no more of it at any price.
We don’t blame the President for his
determination in the matter. Already
the party leaders blame him for most of
their troubles and if the candidates chos-
en by him should prove unpopular and
unsuccessful the burden of censure is
heaped upon his head. He has proved
distinctly a disappointment. His indiffer-
ence to the obligations of honor, his utter
disregard of the requirements of official
life and his insatiate greed for graft
make him a forbidding figure among men
of high ideals. But the politicians of the
State machines, discredited themselves in
the public mind, have no right to load
him with their perplexities and he has a
right to kick and kick hard.
Getting Ready for His Finish.
The great hunter and illustrious “Coinel”
is preparing for his finish. In other
words he has recently undertaken to open-
ly carry water on two shoulders. That
has never been achieved thus far and
probably never will be. The "Coinel”
has managed it stealthfully for a long
time. He has run with the hare and
hunted with the hounds more success-
fully than any one else in recent years.
But he can't keep it up forever and it
looks as if his attempt to speak for Sena-
tor BEVERIDGE, in Indiana, and Senator
LODGE, in Massachusetts, will mark the
beginning of the end of his career of false
pretense.
Mr. ROOSEVELT pretended to be an un-
appeasable enemy of the trusts for many
years while he was really the most ef-
fective ally of those corporate monopolies.
He wrote message after message to Con-
gress demanding legislation against the
trusts and scrupulously avoided anything
like an enforcement of the existing laws
on the subject. He railed against the
Steel trust in particular while he was se-
cretly arranging with the managers of
the Steel trust to subvert the law in order
that it might perpetuate its power over
the industrial life of the country by ab-
sorbing the Tennessee Iron and Coal
company.
But when he undertakes to openly sup-
port BEVERIDGE in Indiana and LoDGE
in Massachusetts he “bites off more than
he can chew.” LODGE is the chief of the
reactionaries. There is no Bourbon half
as dense in this broad land as the
Massachusetts Senator. There is no pro-
gressive more determined than BEVER-
IDGE. Of course LA FOLLETTE makes
more noise and CUMMINS takes up more
space in the Congressional Record. But
neither of them has more directly flown
in the face of the President and after all
that is the test. Therefore when RooOSE-
VELT undertakes to support both he is
. certain to fall between the stools and ex-
pose his assininity.

is receiving a large number of inquiries
from young men and parents regarding

E. Royer, foreman in the Republican of-
fice, was fooling with a small dog belong-
ing to the family, at his home on Spring
street, when the critter bit him in the
front finger on the righthand. He dress-
ed the wound himself and thought little
about it until the next day when he felt
pains shooting up his arm above the el-
bow and then he lost no time in consult-
ing a physician. The doctor cauterized
the wound and dressed it up scientifical-
ly and Royer is getting along all right
—Misses Margaret
as, daughters of Supt. and Mrs. F. H.
Thomas, are both quite ill and yester-
day were taken to the Bellefonte hospital
for treatment. The entire Thomas fami-
ly only last week returned from a three
| week’s trip to Colorado Springs and there
is grave fear that the young ladies be-
came infected with fever germs on the
trip. The nature of their illness indicates
fever but their condition has not develop-
ed enough to know whether they have
contracted typhoid or if it will be the
milder form of malaria.

furniture, books, etc., of James A. B. Mil-

The doctor has rented the rooms and as
soon as they have been repainted and pa.
pered will occupy them as his headquar-
ters in Bellefonte. This does not mean
that he is going to give up his residence
or his office at Zion, but inasmuch as his
practice extends in and around Bellefonte
he has decided that it will be more con-
venient in every way to have a Bellefonte
office and the location he has secured is
