Pemorvatic; atc | ui | BY P. GRAY MEEK. INK SLINGS. ! —A vote for PATTON for Congress is a | vote for CANNONism. If you are for CAN- | NONism vote for PATTON. —Straw votes may indicate the way the political winds blow, but then they often fail to blow hard enough. —Dr. SAMUEL STEWART should repre- sent this district in the Senate. Re- member that on election day. —The Athletics won the world's cham- pionship baseball series ina walk. Chica- go looked like the product of a “Windy city.” —Poor Col. ROOSEVELT! He is trying hard to make enough noise to be heard above the din raised by eastern fanatics over those Athletic champs. —Who do you suppose was ever fool enough to tell the cows and chicken hens about the immense profits to be derived from the formation of trusts. —And bacon is togo to forty cents a pound. My, everyone seems to be “hog- ging it” but the poor fellow who sits at the breakfast table these mornings. —Let us have a creditable Senator in the Legislature; a man competent to rep- resent us intelligently and with dignity. Vote for Dr. STEWART for this office. —What JouN K. TENER said at the near great reception given him at the Brockerhoff house Saturday night BILL DoAK could tell you with three wiggles of his fingers. ' —Weigh them in whatever balance you will Grim will prove the abler of the nominees for Governor. Is it not your duty then to vote for the best fitted man for that high office. —Politics is politics and it will all be over on November 8th. Remember this and don't jeopardize friendships by un- pleasant or acrimonious arguments with those for whose friendship you care. —Don't fail to go to the polls on No- vember 8th. Go and vote for some one, Vote according to your best judgment as to the proper candidates. But vote. It is every freeman’s duty to exercise the right of franchise. —And now that cruel Navy Depart- ment has ordered Captain PEARY back to work. Isn't it awful, MABLE, that the real and only discoverer of the North Pole should actually be called upon to debase himself by working for his sal- ary. —If you want to vote for CANNON and all that CANNONism stands for in Amer ican politics vote for CHARLEY PATTON for Congress. He has steadfastly refused to say that he will not vote for CANNON to be speaker of the next House of Con- gress. —Aside from the charges that have been made by the North American against his integrity JouN K. TENER is not mentally equipped to fill the gubernatorial office in Pennsylvania with intelligence: Surely you do not propose voting for an unfit man. —After the Colonel had blown his head nearly off telling the voters of New York that TAMMANY made the Democratic nominee for Governor it leaks out that Mayor GAYNOR was the first to suggest Mr. Dix. Now the Colonel will have to blow i: all over again. —The death of SIMON P. WOLVERTON, of Sunbury, removes another of the old- er Democrats who were a force in the party councils in years past. He repre- sented his district in the State Senate and in Congress and in both capacities proved a man of unusual ability and an ornament to the legislative halls of the State and Nation. —Centre county has honored J.C. MEY- “+ ER in no small way. He has been placed on all the tickets to te voted nextmonth. The honor is merited, because he has proven himself a most useful and digni- fied public servant. Now let his vote be so large that he will go to Harrisburg in- spired to work even harder than he has done to bring credit to good old Centre county. —Mr. TENER'S having brought a crim- inal libel suit againt the Philadelphia North American will not add much water to his mill. Heshould have answered its charges promptly when they were made, two weeks ago. The public knows that bringing a libel suit doesn’t necessarily exculpate the libeled and in this case it looks like an attempt to throw dust until after November 8th. —While speaking at Gettysburg to the conference of Lutheran ministers Senator GRriM deplored the attempts that are be- ing made to drag the church into the politics of the State. Senator GRIM is a member of the Reformed church of Doylestown and is superintendent of its Sunday school, yet he sees the great danger of trying to identify religion with politics, as Mr. BERRY is doing, and he is right. The fundamental principles of our government are founded on the separa- tion of the church and the State and it is just such little entering wedges as this fall's campaign is driving home that are going to involve us in grave dangers in the future. Really it seems as though Mr. BERRY and Mr. TENER are after office by any means they can get it, while it is left to Mr. GrRiM, alone, to uphold and advocate the higher ideals of govern- Do Democrats of Centre county who are thinking of voting the Keystone ticket realize that such an act will, in addition to the aid it would be giving Mr. PENROSE in his efforts to defeat the Democracy, be placing themselves in a position to be disfranchised at the primary election next June. At that time candidates for every coun- ty, township and borough office within the county will be to be nominated. From sheriff down to county surveyor, from justice of the peace, to township clerk, and from burgess to high constable all | will be to be elected. The candidates for these many and important offices will be chosen at the June primaries, at which not a man who votes the “Keystone” or Prohibition tickets, can vote if his vote is challenged: That voters can see for them- selves, we give paragraph of Section 10, of the Act “providing a uniform method of making nominations for public offices, approved Feb. 17th, 1906. This provides that Each elector shall have the right to receive the ballot of the party for which he asks. PROVIDED that if he is challenged, he shall be required to make oath or affirmation that, at the next preceding general election at which he voted, he voted for a majority of the candidates of the party for whose ballot he asks. Suppose you vote the Keystone ticket this fall and next June you want to help nominate a good ticket, possibly a per- sonal friend among the rest, either for county, township or borough. You ask the election board for a Democratic ticket, and some one who knows you voted against your own party candidate at the preceding election and is opposed to the person or persons you desire to have nominated challenges your vote? What can you do about it but walk away dis- franchised, with no vote, or no voice in choosing the men who will fill the offices in either your county, township or bor- ough? For yourself personally that is exactly what your vote for the Keytone ticket means. For your party it means to help defeat’ its nominee, Mr. GRIM; it means to help elect PENROSE’S candidate TENER, and it means now when we have a chance to | win the State to throw that chance away. To elect Mr. GRIM we need only to poll the regular Democratic vote of the State. There are tens of thousands of Republi- cans who will vote for him, there are tens of thousands of others who will not vote at all, and many, very many, will vote for Mr. BERRY, giving us the opportunity of carrying the State we have not had in many, many years. Are you going to throw away this op- portunity and at the same time dis- franchise yourself when it comes to nominating the Democratic local tickets next June? Think over this, and if some one who doesn’t want the same men nominated for county, township or borough offices, that you would vote for next spring and challenges your vote, remember that the WATCHMAN warned you kindly and in time of the risk you aretaking. Word of Caution to Democrats. Little more than a week before the election it is practically conceded that the Democrats will carry Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Ohio and that there are more than even chances of Democratic success in Connecticut and Indiana. With this result in the North two years before the Presidential cam- paign of 1912, the election of a Demo- cratic President is assured. Even if ROOSEVELT should be the candidate of the Republicans and even though he should carry one of the Southern States, Democratic victory is inevitable. The intelligent and conscientious people of the country have set their faces against the reactionary policies of the Republi- cans and will vote for and secure a change. In view of this obvious fact how foolish it is for Democrats of Pennsylvania to STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA.

In view of these facts we would caution Democrats against bolting. | Roosevelt Distributes Reward.

They reason that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” literally as well as figuratively, and propose to stifle the fetus in time. It is not that there is apprehension in the | poplar sind that RooseveL’s. qusbition | to’Mexicanize the government is in dan- | ger of fulfillment. That would be putting | a meagre estimate upon the intelligence | and patriotism of the people. Butit is a good deal easier to kill a viper while it is young than to destroy it after it has reached maturity. That ROOSEVELT hopes to subvert the government no longer admits of doubt. His first move in this direction was his effort to prosecute the New York World and the Indianapolis News for libel against the government instead of against the individual aspersed and to try the case in Washington rather than within the jurisdiction in which the publication was made. His defeat in that enterprise still rankles in his storm-tossed brain. While the cases were pending he tried to bribe the court officials by inferential promises of promotion. He declared that those charged with the prosecution “would earn his gratitude” if they were successful. Only one of the number was influenced by this offer of reward, how- | ever. District Attorney STIMSON, of New | York, prostituted himself and degraded | his office by endeavoring to pervert the | law and subvert the government. ROOSE- | veLT has rewarded him by bestowing {upon him the Republican nomination for | Governor of New York. ! In the Indiana court the officials were | less susceptible to the baneful influences | of an evil mind in authority. The Dis. | trict Attorney in that court resigned | rather than prosecute the case and the | Judge threw it out of court as a treason- | able proposition. “If the history of liberty means anything,” he said, “if constitu. tional guarantees mean anything, this proceeding must fail.” This is the lan- guage of Judge ANDERSON of the United States District court of Indiana and he too, has received his reward. While in Indianapolis, the other day, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, in the language of a drunken | ruffian, denounced Judge ANDERSON as "a {d—d crook and a jackass.” We love this jurist for the enemy he has made. The High Cost of Living. | That the tariff is responsible in large part for the high cost of living is con- clusively proved by the difference in the prices of food products in this country and England. The Beef trust of this country, for example, sells its products at two cents a pound less in Liverpool than |in any of the cities of this country. In | furnishing meat abroad the trust pays the cost of transportation not only to the sea- board but across the ocean as well as to the distributing stationson the other side. It is able to make this discrimination in i favor of the foreign consumer because | the tariff tax on imported meats abso- i lutely forbids competition. The high cost of living is not entirely in the increased price of food, though | probably that feature of it is felt more than others because it comes direct. But the higher prices of woolens, cottons, lin- ens and other materials of that sort that are essential to life help to pile up the burdens under which the American peo- ple groan.

If these statements are true the news- paper is not guilty of libel. Even if the circumstances justify a reasonable sus- for public office and the publication of any information concerning his opera- tions in business is, in legal phraseology, privileged. Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. TENER has himself practically acknowl- edged what has been charged. That is to say he admits that the corporation of which he was president was created in in the manner described. He acknowl. edges that he was president and director of the for a time and that during that time he drew salary at the rate of $5,000 a year. He owns up that he was voted $50,000 of the stock with- out having paid any money but declares that he refused to receive it and that subsequently $20,000 of the stock was offered to him without charge and that he declined that also. to innocent investors, that Mr. Tener!

It rests in state on a platter tariff-taxed Manifestly Mr. TENER’'S purpose in bringing suit against the newspaper is to create the impression mind that he has been injured in popular esteem by the publication of falsehoods in relation to the matter. No doubt he imagines that the average citizen will think that he wouldn't dare appeal to the courts unless he was conscious of his own integrity and confident of vindica- | tion. Mr. BARNUM once said that the people liked to be fooled and politicians like to please the people. But LINCOLN, who was wiser than BARNUM and closer to nature was of the opinion that “you can’t fool all the people all the time,” even though they like it and in this par- ticular case Mr. TENER'S expectations are likely to be disappointed. Mr. TENER paper will never be brought to trial. It is simply intended to be "a good enough MORGAN until after the election.” State Organization Faithful. The Democratic State organization has | amply proved its fidelity to the principles | of the party it servesin its efforts to form an alliance with all the voters who favor good government in order to prevent the election of the unfit nominee of the Re- publican machine. In view of recent developments the election of JoHN K. TENER to the office of Governor of Penn- sylvania wouid be a public shame. It has been charged that he has been associated with professional swindlers in at least two shady enterprises and it is believed that he was nominated for the office in the expectation that his election would promote the exploitation of the interests of the people for the benefit of indivdi- uals. There is a misconception in the public mind as to the reasons why certain lead- the nomination of WiLLiAM H. BERRY as the Democratic candidate for Governor. It was not on account of his opinions on the liquor question or for the reason that of public duties and carelessness in busi- | ness transaction would be brought forward ! against him. Along these lines the record | facts were unwilling to take the hazard | | of a campaign with such a candidate. 1 adorn. 2 in order to make [he eet ie Ruban to port tive in an effort to induce machine on the public ' honest business methods knows that his suit against the news pig ing Democrats of Pennsylvania opposed missi and Sufipart disreputable manipulations of infa- mous political promoter? 3 Fortunately the curtain has been drawn aside on the Punch and Judy that is taking place before the business candidate for Governor?
