Ee Bellefonte, Pa., October 7, 1910. —————————————————— Senator Grim * Wins Approval | Familiarity With State Affairs Wins Ap- | proval. The political correspindent of the | Pittsburg Post makes this observation { and comparison of candidates: “The thorough knowledge of state affairs displayed by Senator Webster Grim in his campaign addresses has attracted voters throughout Pennsyl- vania, and the state committee is swamped with demands for the Demo- cratic gubernatorial nominee. Citizens | of every county of the commonwealth | have expressed a desire to meet and | hear Mr. Grim. Although it will be im- | possitle for the nominee to vigit ev. ery county before election day, he will comply with the wishes of the voters ' as far as possible. “Senator Grim has won the people in every county thus far visited, by a forceful discussion of the state issues. He has demonstrated to the voters that he has kept in close touch with the governmental questions of Penn- sylvania for many years, and through his services in the state senate has become familiar with the abuses prac- ticed by the Republican machine, and knows just what remedy should be ap- | plied. i “He has taken up every question of importance .o the people of Pennsyl- vania today and given them consider- | able enlightening information. He has pointed out numerous instances where their money is being squandered by the Penrose machine, exposed the fal- sity of their position on state affairs and has informed the people what pol. icies he will follow, if elected gover- nor. He has demonstrated to the voters that he has an intelligent grasp on af- fairs of state and is thus qualified to work out reforms if placed in the gu- bernatorial chair. “Senator Grim has gone before the people frankly and with an earnest- ness that carries conviction. The thou- sands of voters whom he has address- ed, both Republicans and Democrats, have commented upor the thorough- ness of his discussions, the complete- ness of his knowledge of state ques- tions and the fearlessness with which he states his position. He has present- ed statistics to prove every charge of mismanagement made against the Re- publican machine and driven home the facts with forcefulness that convinces. “The voters have secured a clearer view of Senator Grim. Starting out in the campaign with a majority of the citizens unacquainted with his record in the senate, or knowing little of his ability, he has, in two weeks, won their admiration and support. The voters realize that the Democratic nominee is thoroughly able to look af- ter the administration of state affairs in an intelligent manner and that through his services in the state sen- ate has gained a knowledge of affairs that would make his services as gov- ernor invaluable. “On the other hand, the voters have learned nothing of state affairs from John K. Tener, the Republican gubernatorial nominee. He has held entirely aloof from any discussion of administration issues, and displayed utter ignorance of what is needed in Pennsylvania government. The voters do not know where he stands on any- thing. He has side-stepped all import. ant issues and has kept the voters ab- solutely in the dark as to what he might do if made governor.” i 1d Roosevelt the Real Boss. He threw the vice president of the United States off the platform and act- | ed as temporary chairman of the con- vention. He framed the platform. He | made the speech in support of the so- called direct primary plank. He se- | lected the ticket, and then he made the | speech placing Henry L. Stimson in nomination for governor. This is a new record in boss-ruled conventions. Platt and Croker were arbitrary and | despotic, but they always allowed | somebody else to make the nominating | speech,—New York World. ! Taft's Brand of Economy. One hundred and forty dollars for street car tickets; $237.66 for horse shoeing; $429.55 for scap and brushes, These are a few of the small expend’ tures of the state department of the government in 1909. The horseshoeing item is a gem as a sample of the much-boasted Taft policy of *‘cut-to- the-quick” economy. The item of $237.66 refers to the shceing of four horses for one year.—Johnstown Dem- ocrat. Senator Grim’s tour of the state is increasing in interest both to himself and the people. It is revealing his great capacity as a public man and his eminent fitness for the office to which he aspires. No such illuminat. ing campaign speeches have been de livered in this state since Governor Pattison’s first campaign. Don't be selfish this year. See that your neighbor is qualified to vote as well as yourself. This is a practical way to be neighborly and it won't cost much. The ballot franchise is the inestima- ble privilege and duty of the American citizen. Payment of taxes is also a duty, though not much of a privilege. The man who refuses to pay tax can- not vote.

It has notoriously suf- | fered from the evils inherent Wm too ; long a term of power, too feebly op- | posed.

COST OF ROOSEVELTISM Four Years of Teddy's Rule Cost Twice as Much as Eighteen Other Administrations. [From the New York Werld.] The total expenditures of the Unit- ed States government from the inaug- uration of Washington in 1789 to the | beginning of the Civil War in 1861 were $1,795,273,344.13. The appropriation bills signed by Theodore Roosevelt during his second term in the White House, from March | 4, 1905, to March 4, 1909, authorized . expenditures amounting to $3,622,982, ' 815.67. ! Four years of Rooseveltism cost | twice as much as the first seventy-two years of the republic. i One term of Theodore Roosevelt took twice as much money out of tie | pockets of the American people as the ’ combined terms of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monrue, | John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van ! Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, | Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan. During the seventy-two years cover- ed by the administration of these fif- teen presidents the United States gov- debt incurred by the states. It paid the cost of the War of 1812. It paid the cost of the Mexican War. It boug™t Louisiana. it bought Florida. It paid for the Gadsden purchase. It acquired all that vast extent of territory from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean. What have the American people got to show for the four years of Roose- And what would be the cost of four years more of Roosevelt under the new nationalism? TENER IGNORES REAL ISSUES Fights Imaginary Foes and Overlooks Pertinent Questions. Candidate Tener continues in his campaign speeches to deal with every- thing except the question before the house. One would think that some- body has been making an attack on the public schools, the health depari- ment and other sacred institutions, and that he had been rushed into the glass arm. Yet no one is worrying about the schools or the health de- partment or factory inspection; and we think all are quite agreed that Pennsylvania is a great state and that water runs down hill. But the ques- tion before the house is this: “Shall the People or the Bosses Rule?" This question Mr. Tener ignores. He is a creature of the boss and is a part of the boss system and so he is not inter- ested in a question which so vitally interests the mass of the voters.— Johnstown Democrat. No Excuse For Bolting. There is no excuse for the divisicn of the Democratic vote. The party has an estimable candidate and a right- eous cause. The old Democratic prin- ciples of economy and equality of bur- dens, the observance of the constitu- tional harmony of federal and state powers, the fosering of all reforms and stable progress away from fads and untried isms still animate the compact organization and arouse the people. This firing from the rear by a precious little guerrilla band is about as dis. gusting as Berry's own third party bunco after being beaten in a regular convention.—Pittsburg Post.

Before the operation was begun Le sald: “Can this ring be mended so a pawn- broker will give me the usual amount on it? “It cap be mended.” said the jeweler, “but | doubt if you can ever persuade a pawnbroker to accept it afterward.” “Then 1 guess I'll take chances on my finger getting well with the ring on.” said the young man and left the store. “Incidents like that,” said the jewel- er, “show what a surprisingly large number of Philadelphians live with the pawnshop looming up just ahead of them as an unavoidable evil, Of all the people who need their rings cut off two-thirds of them ask that very ques- tion, and a large percentage of them | take chances on blood poisoning rather than destroy the ring's value as a pawnable asset.” —DPhiladelphia Ledger. The Little Word “Yes.” “Yes” is n simple word speiled with three letters. it bas caused more happiness and more unhappiness than any other word in the language. It has lost more money for easy lend- ers than all the holes in all the pock- ets in the world. It has started more dipsomaniacs on their careers than all the strong liquor on earth. It has caused more fights than all the “you're liars" that ever were spoken. It has procured kisses and provoked blows. It has defeated candidates and elect. ed scoundrels. It has been used in more lies than any other expression. It is not meant half the time it is said. Will it continue to make such a record? Yes.—Life. Wouldn't Deliver. He was born in Dublin and lived in Ireland until about two months ago, whén he came to Cleveland. Then he began to look around for a job. The manager of a furniture house prom- ised to give him a trial. “Come around in the moraing and go to work,” he said. “and if you can de- liver the goods we'll probably keep you permanently.” The Dublin native went over to tell his cousin about it. He confided to him that he didn't believe he'd go back to take the job, after all. “They want me to deliver the goods,” he said. “Think of going around delivering big. heavy furniture. That's what horses and wagons are for in my country.”"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Harvard University. Harvard university derives its name from Rev. John Harvard. its earliest bepefactor, who in 1638 bequeathed one-half of his estate. amounting to £800, for the endowment of the college.

Stoughton ball, being of the same dimensions and material as Hollis, was built in 1804. and a writer of 1817 states that “its appearance is somewhat in the modern style.” What He Admired. “What did father say when you ask- ed him for my hand?" “Oh,” replied Augustus, “he—bhe did his best to be pleasant.

Laughing cheerfulness throws sun. light on ali the paths of life.—~Richter, ——————— | Foeiting Her Husband. That there are more ways than one of “killing a cat” is a well known fact, but the newest of ways has been evolved from the fertile brain of a Germantown woman who is blessed with a stingy husband. This husband is generous enough in one sense of the word. His wife may Lave the best attire the stores afford charged to his necount, but she may handle no money. Women, in this man’s opinion, know nothing of the value of a dollar. On leaving for his office in the morning lie kisses her goodby und thrusts a quarter's worth of trolley tickets into ner hand. Now milady goes shopping, buys a few necessities and a fifty dollar wrap for which she bas no use whatever. Next day she returns the latter, re- veives a credit slip for £30 and betakes herself to the handkerchief counter, £40.50 change. chapge in her purse and stowing the roll of greenbacks in what she con- siders a safer receptacie, she leaves the shop feeling that she has made the best of a bad barguin.—Philadel- phia Record. A Bald Fact. It is common to deplore the lack of humor in a person. Yet the very want of wit may save a certain amount of embarrassment, as wax the case on a certain occasion with President John- son. “He was one day.” says n writer ! mother, and a friend, Mrs. Knox, a widow, came in. She had known Mr. Johnson some years before, when he was a member of the legislature, but they had not met since then. “After mutual recognition Mr. John- | said: ‘How Is Mr. Knox? | have not ! seen him lately. **He has been dead six years, said Mrs. Knox, **I thought 1 hadn't seen him on the street,’ said Mr. Johnson, “When Mrs. Knox left my mother said, laughing. ‘That was a funny mis- take of yours about Mr. Knox.’ { *‘What mistake did | make? said | Johnson. °I said 1 hadn't seen him on | the street, and | hadp't."" | Owning Your Home. | “1 have always fell that upon prop- | erly appointed and becoming dwellings | depends more than anything else the | Improvement of mankind." said Benja- min Disraeli (Earl of Beaconstield).

A curious story is told as to how the Rothschilds supported Carafa, the composer. The latter was far from rich. His principal income was de- rived from a snuffbox. And this was the way of it: The snuffbox was given to the author of “La Prison d'Edim- bourgh” by Baron James de Rothschild as a token of esteem. Carafa sold it twenty-four hours later for 75 na- poleons to the same jeweler from whom it had been bought. This be- came known to Rothschild, who gave it again to the musician on the follow- ing year. The nest day it returned to the jeweler’s. The traffic continued till the death of the banker and longer still, for his sons kept up the tradi- tion. to the great satisfaction of Carafa. Little Else. A London attorney named Else, rath- er diminutive in his stature and not particularly respectable in his charac- ter, once met Jekyll. “Sir,” said he, “1 hear you have called me a pettifog- ging scoundrel.
