INK SLINGS.
—Anyway President TAFT has given
proof of his devotion to the policy of con-
servation so far as it applies to BALLING-
ER and his secretaryship.
—The Mountain league chase is tight-
ening up and Bellefonte bobs up and
down with a serenity that one is con-
stantly reminded of old Dick Dead Eye
and his famous song.
—On Monday the Philadelphia Record
declared that “no Democrat in Pennsyl-
‘Vania has any good reason for withhold-
ing his vote from Senator GRIM” for Gov-
ernor. That is plain and quite to the
point.
—Even the most optimistic of them
will admit that it is rather early to begin
preparations for the inaugural ceremo-
nies of Mr. BERRY, which goes to show
that our Keystone friends are not yet cer-
tain that they have the job cinched.
—That $100,000 fund that our Keystone
friends were told would be forthcoming
if they would organize a party and help
divide the Democracy seems to be turn-
ing out very much like Mrs. MULLIGAN'S
baby, very promisin’ but provokingly
backward.
—A cold wave is due to reach here to-
day or tomorrow, not cold enough to ne-
cessitate shaking the moth balls out of
your winter flannels, but cold enough to
remind you that fall is approaching and
you had better get busy on the wood-pile_
—That was a solar plexus blow that
the “old guard” got in on “Our TEDDY"
the very first round in New York, last
week. Henceforth this dictator of poli-
cies and supposed all-round-political-sport
will understand exactly how it feels to be
thoroughly JorNsoNized at the beginning
of the bout.
—From the way chairman ROCKWOOD,
who thinks he speaks for the Prohibition
party, is handling our genial but some-
what disturbed friend, candidate BERRY,
it would be reasonable to conclude that
he had been a baggage smasher all his
life and imagines that he is still in the
same business.
—Judging from the volume of noise
and the continuous clatter that is kept
up in front of the Keystone and Prohibi-
tion tents one, unacquainted with Penn-
sylvania politics, could readily conclude
that they are the whole political circus.
But then we all know that the emptier
the barrel the greater the sound.
—Pennsylvania is growing ostriches
and alfalfa now. Ostriches for plumes
for my lady’s hat and alfalfa to make the
high priced porker fat. Both are new
crops to the Keystone State, but then
you know we're all versatile in every-
thing but politics. There the same old
thing we have had for forty years seems
good enough.
—The Vice President of the United
States, the Hon. JAMES SHERMAN, “Sun-
ny Jim” to be more explicit, got a swipe
with the “big stick” on Wednesday that
he won't get over soon. Col. T.R. went
right straight to his home in Utica, N.
Y., to give it to him too. More power to
the fighter, for every blow is wind in a
Democratic sail.
—After fourteen years of seclusion in
jungles studying monkey ufe Prof. R.S
GARNER, of Virginia, is home convinced
that simians do talk and reason just as
human beings do. So many of us are
constantly making monkeys of ourselves
that the Professor ought not to have
much trouble in showing to the world
other points of similarity as well.
—In place of New York Republicans
kow-towing to Mr. ROOSEVELT and await-
ing his orders as to what to doit now
looks as if the Oyster-bay boss would
have to get down into the political mire
and beg of them an opportunity to help
do what they purpose shall be done. It's
not far between the top and bottom of
the ladder, when one’s hold slips’ as TED-
DpY's evidently has.
—Josepi C. SiBLEY, of Franklin, has
resigned as the Republican nominee for
Congress in the Twenty-eighth district
and is now under arrest charged with de-
bauching the voters. When it is recalled
that JosEPHUS spent forty-two thousand
dollars to carry himself through at the
primaries one is almost forced to admit
that some one must have been debauch-
ed a little, at least.
—President TAFT is now promising a
restless and dissatisfied people “a scien-
tific reduction of the tariff." Just what
that means nobody but the President
probably knows, but judged from the
way he saw to fulfilling his last promise
of tariff reduction we quake with fear of
what will happen to us after the rates on
most everything we need have gone
through this “scientific reduction” plan.
—The positive and emphatic refusal of
the State Grange executive committee to
permit worthy master CREASY to commit
their order to the support of the Key-
stone ticket must have been a rather se-
vere jolt to his eminence from Columbia
county. The further the Grange, as an
order, keeps from politics the longer it
will last and the more good it will ac-
complish and it seems to us that the ef-
fort of its head to put it in wrong with
STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL. 55.
Mr. Munson Reveals His Reasons. :
If any evidence were needed to corrob-
ER, managing editor of the Philadelphia
Record, with respect to the declination of
C. LARUE MUNSON to accept the nomina-
vention, it is supplied in the letter of Mr.
MUNSON to Senator DEWALT, chairman of
the Democratic State committee, and read
at the Lehigh County Democratic meet-
ing last Saturday. "It is due to you and
to others,’ writes Mr. MUNSON, “to say |
that the withdrawal of my name as candi- |
date for the nomination for Governor was |
not caused by any act of yourself, Colo-
nel GUFFEY, or other Democratic leaders,
or by reason of any demand or condition
made by you or others and that you are
not in any manner subject to criticism for
my actions, and I need not say to you or |
any fair-minded person that there was no |
deal of any sort, kind or description in- |
volved in my declination of the nomina- |
tion.”
The suspicions of no man can stand
against this direct testimony of a man of
the reputation for probity and veracity of
Mr. MuNsoN. It is in direct line with the
statements of Mr. DWYER, moreover, and
in entire accord with the incidents which
attended the announcement of Mr.
MUNSON's purpose, at Allentown. The
leaders of the party who were committed
or inclined toward the nomination of Mr.
MUNSON were taken completely by sur-
prise when his letter was read to them
and they made every effort to prevail up-
on him to reconsider his purpose. If there
had been a conspiracy to nominate anoth-
er candidate and use Mr. MUNSON as a
“stalking horse,” in the plan, no “panic
would have followed in the ranks of the
leaders and their friends,” as described by
Mr. DWYER. It would have been accepted
as the expected outcome of their plot and
received with expressions of delight rath-
er than chagrin.
The truth is that neither Mr. GRIM nor
Mr. BERRY had the ghost of a chance for
the nomination while Mr. MUNSON was in
the field. GRIM had about seventy dele-
gates and BERRY probaby thirty, and each
bent his energies to the work of gaining
strength. Mr. BERRY personally solicited,
not only the leaders whom he now anath- |
ematizes, but all others, and if he could
have prevailed upon them to nominate
him, he would have been convinced of the
righteousness of their spirit and the just
ness of their purposes. But for reasons
which were entirely satisfactory to the
delegates Mr. GRIM was preferred. His
character was unassailable and his rec-
ord invulnerable. He had been an orna-
ment in the public life of the Common-
wealth for eight years and needed neither
defense nor apology. He was chosen by
an intelligent convention upon his merits
and is justly entitled to the cordial sup-
port of every Democrat in the State.
The Rittersville Hospital Scandal.
Mr Jon K. TENER, Republican candi-
date for Governor, ventures the opinion
that Governor STUART will deal fitly with
the Rittersville hospital scandal, “if there
are any irregularities in connection with
the construction.” This is a rather vague
and unsatisfactory “promise to the ear.”
Governor STUART has not, thus far in his
official career, justified great confidence
in his disposition to reveal and correct
evils of that sort. During his campaign
of four years ago, he promised the capi-
tol grafters would be apprehended and
punished in the event of his election.
Nearly four years have elapsed since his
inauguration and two “goats” have been
sentenced to brief confinement.
The capitol grafting was the result of
a conspiracy in which more than a dozen
prominent Republican leaders had under-
taken to raise sufficient money to reim-
burse the State Treasury of millions that
had been stolen by the late Senator QUAY
and his associates in politics and specula-
tion. A thorough investigation would have
revealed these facts and brought the
criminals to just punishment. But Gov-
ernor STUART did all in his power to pre-
vent such an investigation and its logical
results. He and his administration have
hampered lawyer JAMES SCARLET at every
step in the proceedings to convict the
criminals and expose the facts. The in-
vestigation was organized to prevent ex-
posure.
The scandal in connection with the
Rittersville hospital is of precisely the
same nature as that of the capitol graft-
ing. The participants got a rake-off in
each case, of course, but the bulk of the
profits of the iniquity went to paying the
debts to the Treasury of men who had
been able to abstract funds for personal
or political use whenever they pleased.
If Joun K. TENER is elected Governor
the Rittersville investigation will be con-
ducted on exactly the same lines as were
the two oid parties of the State must
have been due to an embittered personal
spirit that overbalanced his better judg-
followed in the capitol graft case, but if
WEBSTER GRIM is at the polls
there will be an inquiry which will re-
veal the whole truth and compel com-
ment.
BELLEFONTE, PA.
Mr. Berry’s Faulty Mental Habits.
Mr. W. H. BERRY is disregarding the |
orate the statements of Mr. JON P. DWY- | wholesome adage that “men who live in | county Democratic meeeting, on Satur-
glass houses should never throw stones.” |
In other words Mr. BERRY is accusing |
people of things which may provoke oth- |
tion for Governor at the Allentown con- er people to say other things, and prove | four years ago and that one upon which
them, which will be very damaging to
his reputation as a public official and pri-
vate citizen. He is culpably, though
characteristically careless, moreover, in
his accusations. There is another adage
to the effect that “a liar ought to have a
good memory.” Mr. BERRY reveals a
hopelessly infirm memory in his accusa-
tions against and his assertions concern-
ing others. He torgets or ignores facts
in every instance and makes himself ri-
diculous as well as contemptible.
For example, in his speech at Lewis-
town, the other evening, he made two
breaks that indicated a treacherous mem-
ory or a perverted standard of veracity.
He said that Senator GRIM sat in the
State capitol while it was being burned
down about his ears. The State capitol
was burned down in February, 1897, and
Senator GRIM was first inducted info the
office of Senator in January, 1903, nearly
six years later. In the same speech Mr.
BERRY said that he borrowed n.oney from
Colonel GUFFEY to supply funds to make
up for losses sustained by his neglect of
business because of his public duties as
State Treasurer. As a matter of fact he
wasn't away from his private business,
during the period of his administration
of the office of State Treasurer, long
enough to cause a perceptible change in
his personal affairs.
In a speech delivered before a religious
body near Philadelphia last Saturday Mr.
BERRY associated the names of Senator
HALL, Congressman McHENRY and Mr.
MuLviHiLL, of Westmoreland county,
and in order to make his figure of speech
effective he designated them as “Jim”
MuLVIHILL, “Jim” HALL and “JiM” Mec-
HENRY—" the three Jims." Asa matter
of fact Mr. McHENRY'S name is not JAMES,
and the three gentlemen were not refer-
red to at the Allentown convention or
anywhere else as “the three Jims.” Of
course this is a trifle and is referred to
merely to show Mr. BERRY'S ess
mental habits and to suggest that he was |
not opposed by Democratic leaders be-
cause of his virtues but on account of |
moral delinquencies andmental unfitness |
for important office.
Cannon Resents Taft's Orders.
Speaker CANNON is disposed to resent
the attitude and activities of the Presi-
dent with respect to himself. As we
stated last week the President recently
issued an order eliminating the Speaker,
Senator ALDRICH and Secretary of the
Interior BALLINGER from Republican
councils and practically served notice on
CANNON that he must not again aspire to
the Speakership. ALDRICH and BALLING-
ER appear to have submitted quietly to
this executive ukase but CANNON is
moulded of different metal. When he
read about the affair he indignantly said
“go to” or words to that effect, and sig-
nificantly added that he intends to die
with his boots on and will be a candidate
for Speaker again if he wants to.
We can have no sympathy with CAN-
NON or CANNONism. CANNON is a course,
arrogant and immoral party boss. CAN-
NONism is a festering ulcer on the body
politic. But we are constrained to ex-
press some admiration for the spirit that
is manifested in his resentment of the or-
ders of another boss, less course, no |
doubt, but quite as immoral and just as
offensive. In flouting his order back in-
to the President's teeth Mr. CANNON di-
vorces himself absolutely from all polit-
ical patronage and party plunder, and he |
understands it as well as any one else.
His attitude of defiance, therefore, ex-
presses a spirit of independence and an
assertion of self-respect and self-reliance
that is commendable.
CANNONism is a great evil and graft a
dangerous malady. But both together
are not as grave a menace to the pros-
perity and perpetuity of the government
as the bossism of men in high office by
which the spirit of self-government is en-
tirely subverted. The time will come,
and we believe not in the distant future,
when the public will realize that THEO-
DORE ROOSEVELT was the most danger-
cus enemy this country has encountered
in its whole history. Happily the danger
of ROOSEVELT is past for such men are
powerful only while they have patronage
to dispense, But TAFT is now trying to
imitate him and though less menacing,
because a weaker man, he is neverthe-
less a great danger.
—All those foreign potentates who
made such a fuss over Colonel ROOSE-
VELT on his way home from Africa will
probably think they had another Dr.
Cook on their hands when they read
what happened to the Colonel in that
plete reparation in both instances.
AUGUST 26,
1906 and 1910—A Contrast. |
In his eloquent speech at the Lehigh
day, Senator GRIM pertinently called at-
tention to the wide difference between
the tone of the Republican platform of
the present campaign for Governor is be-
ing waged. The convention of 1906 was
held almost within the shadow of the
political revolution of the previous year
and promises of all sorts of reform were
freely made under the chastening infiu- |
ences of adversity. It was promised that
the abandoned canals would be restored
to the State. There was a pledge that
the abandonment of the construction of
competing railroads would be inquired
into and other reforms were guaranteed.
None of these pledges have been fulfill-
ed however. The capitol grafters, ex-
cept the two “goats,” have escaped pun-
ishment and unless the Democratic can-
didate for Governor is elected this year,
there will never be another sentence for
that colossal robbery. Not a step has
ever been taken to restore the abandon-
ed canals and never a word has since
been spoken concerning the abandon-
ment of the construction of the South
Penn railroad. During the extra session
of the Legislature, in 1906, before the
convention of that year was held, some
reform legislation was enacted but even
that was tainted with the odor of the Ma-
chine and made as ineffective as possible.
It was a reluctant concession to public
sentiment.
In 1906 the party boss took pains to
nominate a candidate for Governor of
good reputation and respectable political
antecedents, for the same reason. But
how different this year? As Senator
GRIM remarked in his Allentown speech,
“scarcely one of the reforms pledged in
that platform is found in the platform
this year. The mask is thrown aside and
we must fight the same old power face to
face.” The present candidate of the Re-
publican party has nothing to recommend
him except that he has been a servile and
obedient follower of the boss and is cer-
| tain to consent to any iniquity which the |
Machine managers have in mind. Confi- |
dence has made the besses careiess and |
they should be rebuked by defeat. t

i
Democratic Campaign Day.
i
In pursuance of a resolution adopted
by the Democratic State Executive Com- |
mittee, at a meeting held in Philadelphia |
August 3rd, a Democratic meeting will |
be held in every county in the State on
Saturday, September 10. These meetings |
will be held under the auspices of the
several Democratic county committees
and will assume such form as the local
organizations prefer. But they will serve
as the opening of the Democratic cam-
paign and the beginning of the active
work for the election of WEBSTER GRIM
and the rescue of the State from the ma-
chine that has been exploiting the inter-
ests of the people for the benefit of party
favorites. Such a purpose ought to en-
list the sympathy of all good citizens.
This plan has the merit of novelty.
If carried out literally and successfully it
will make a deep and lasting impression
on the public mind. But it is an ambi-
tious enterprise and will tax the energies
of the active Democrats to a considerable
and an unusual extent. A public meet- !
ing in every county in the State, in all
sixty-seven public meetings, held simul- |
taneously, will entail a great deal of,
earnest and intelligent work and involve |
considerable expense. But in the lexicon |
of Democracy “there is no such word as '
fail,” and we feel confident that early as |
it is in the campaign and unprepared as
voters usually are at this season of the |
year for such demonstrations, “Demo-
cratic Campaign Day,” will be worthy of |
its name and purpose.
The time fixed for these events is two |
weeks from tomorrow and it is none too
early to begin work of preparation now.
In most of the counties it is already well
in hand and the reports of progress give
abundant promise of success. Centre
county should not be behind her sister
communities in this great effort for
Democracy and civic progress. The |
Democrats of the county should at once
“get busy” in preparing for the event.
We can achieve much if we set ourselves |
earnestly and uniformly to the task, and |
the enticement, the restoration of Penn. grange,
sylvania to the safe and sane control of
Democratic statesmanship, is great. Let
us all join in the effort and the result
will be more than gratifying.
