The twelve and fourteen hundred dol- ldrs a year clerks who are held to their desks through the heated seasons in order that the high-salaried heads of the de- partments may spend months in junketing at public expense, are to be ground down to the last dot. But there is to be no decrease in the presidential salary, three times as much as LINCOLN received, or dimi- nution in the unconstitutional emoluments which the President enjoys, unlawfully. He is strong on “saving at the spigot” while profligately “wasting at the bung.” He insists on clubbing the poor devils and petting the rich, and powerful. If the President would recommend the cutting out of one dreadnaught battle- ship from the jingo programme of his party he would save more than could be achieved by starving every low-paid clerk in the service. Or if he would pay his own personal expenses out of his own private funds, as all of his predecessors did up until the time of ROOSEVELT, there would be no necessity for reducing the meagre wages of the department employ- ees. He would then set an example of thrift in the management of his domestic rs instead of one of profligacy and tts contribute to the decrease, rather than the increase, of the prices of the necessaries of life.

There has been no “third degree” nor “sweat room” to obtain confessions or admissions damaging to the prisoner. ‘The English idea of law is that the man is not guilty until proven so and attempts to prove him so outside of the courts of justice, subvert rather than conserve the law. English practices are to be admired in this respect, and statistics prove that they accomplish more than the over- zealous efforts of American detectives and police to convict criminals before they are led into the courts. —The death of the Hon.

Future Penalty for Present Recreancy. If the Democratic candidate for Gover- nor of Pennsylvania is defeated this year, the result will be attributable to the third party movement. Before the conventions were held Democratic success was practi- cally conceded by Republicans and confi- dently looked for by intelligent observers of all shades of political opinion. It was talked about on the streets and discussed in public places. No thoughtful person had any other idea. Even the Republican officials at Harrisburg were preparing for the exodus that might reasonably be ex- their just and honorabie purpose. Whence ! t came or how it operated we are, of | course, not able to say. But it is a sin- gular fact that the beneficiary of their political recreancy will be PENROSE’S can- didate for Governor, Mr. TENER. Bristow and Aldrich. Senator Bristow, of Kansas, declares that Senator ALDRICH, of Rhode Island, manipulated the tariff tax schedule on rubber to promote his own selfish inter- ests and Senator ALDRICH denounces Sen- ator BRISTOW as a liar.

No party ever offered for the suf- frages of the people a fitter candidate than WEBSTER Grim. No candidate of any party was ever nominated by fairer meth- ods and no State at any time stood more in need of political renovation. The bolters hope to prevent such a result by drawing enough votes from Mr. GRIM to make Mr. TENER'S election certain, but if they ac- complish the result they must endure the penalty of being excluded from participa- in political conditions. Since the third party nominations, though Democrats are on cotton. In this case as in the other the records sustain BRISTOW in every respect. In the face of these facts the President of the United States has gone out of his way to certify to the high character and eminent statesmanship of Senator AL- DRICH. He has thrown the weight of the influence of his great office in favor of a man who stands proved as a public ene- | tion in the fruits of our victory in 1912. advice and help to defeat vicious legisla- tion they went to him. This was not an 1 occasional but a constantly recurring occurrence. He was the most dependable man in the body in such cases. Yet these papers are now assailing him as if he were a monster of political im- morality. They caricature him as a “beast of prey.” They denounce him as the embodiment of iniquity. He has done nothing to deserve this treatment. He has never “wearied in well doing.” He was as faithful and zealous in his last session as in his first and experience had vastly increased his efficiency. His associations, creditable in the beginning, never deteriorated. He taught political morality both by precept and example. He ever stood for the right as he under- stood it, and was as courageous in the attack of wrong as he was alert in dis- and cerning it. How can any newspaper retain popular respect and public confidence in pursuing so perverse a course? When the “press muzzler” was pending in the State he was new to the service but he fought it with the energy and pertinacity of a veteran. He deprecated the abuse of the liberty of the press but protested against punishing the just because there were recreants which deserved punishment. Now, however, the very papers he tried to shield are vilifying him as if he were a moral pervert. They are assailing him as if his public life had been spent in promoting vice and crime. But they will fail of their purpose. The fair minded citizens of Pennsylvania will re- buke such outrages. ——The pear crop in Centre county this year will be a good one and probably one of the largest individual crops is that of Dr. R. G. H. Hayes, in his orchard at his home along the state road.
