We sincerely hope that Senator CuUL- BERTSON'S resolution “directing the com- mittee on privileges and elections to in- vestigate the amount of money paid to committees or individuals of all present parties in the campaigns of 1904 and | 1908,” will beadopted. The Senate com- | mittee on privileges and elections is an uitra partisan body and not very depend- | able. It exculpated Senator LORIMER | from responsibility for the corruption and bribery that resulted in his election and | is as unregenerate and reactionary now as then. But the LORIMER verdict didn’t | hold good and any report of such an in-. quiry as that contemplated by Senator CULBERTSON would have to be right to se- ! cure public acceptance. It doesn’t matter a great deal about the expenditures in the campaign of 1908, though there was a great deal of money unlawfully spent in that contest for the Presidency. But the election wasn't actually carried by the corrupt use of money. All the money spent in the cam- paign in 1896, 1900 and 1904 wouldn't have elected TAPT if he hadn't made false promises in relation to a revision of the tariff downward and deceived the people by those means. But the country ought to know more of the corruption of the election of 1904 in which sacred sav- ings were looted, corporation treasuries robbed and all forms of vice protected, with the consent of the candidate, to elect THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Of course ROOSEVELT is a dead duck and whether his iniquities in that cam- paign are exposed or not he will never be elected to a public office again. But in the interest of political morality and de- cent government the sources of the cor- ruption fund which procured his election ought to be exposed and condemned. We know of the contributions of the Insur- ance campanies, the Standard Oil com- pany, the Mormon church, the Money trust and the HARRIMAN interests. But the general public is not informed on these matters and even those who know agood deal about them are without cer- tain details that would contribute “to the gayety of nations.” For these reasons the resolution ought to pass. ——“Everything leads to dead men in the Sugar trust investigation,” remarked Judge MabpisoN, a member of the Con- gressional committee conducting the in- quiry, the other day. Naturally. “Dead men tell no tales,” and if all culpability in that conspiracy is traced to dead men there will be no danger of going “higher up.” It would be more reasonable to look for those fellows lower down. Senator Gore for Woodrow Wilson. Some weeks ago Senator GORE, Okla- homa'’s blind, but able, Democratic United States Senator, was requested to address a Wooprow WILSON meeting in Balti- more. It was impossible for him to be present, but he had no hesitancy in giving his opinion as to who the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency should be, in the following letter to Mr. HENRY S. BRECKENRIDGE, chairman of the commit- tee on invitations: My Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of your valued favcr inviting me to address a Woodrow Wilson meeting to be held in your city at an early date. I begto thank you for the invitation and to assure you of my regrets that I cannot be present on the day indicated. Perhaps on some future occasion of the kind I may be able to attend. Allow me to add that if it be the purpose of the proposed meeting to advance the prospects of Mr. Wilson for the Presidency I am bkeartily in accord with that motive and object. I have can. vassed the political situation and outlook with some care and have concluded to support Mr. Wilson for the nomination. Several distinguished and deserving Democrats are being strongly urged for the Presidential nomination. It must beowned that the Democracy has a wealth of material for the Presidency. It is easier to nomi- nate a Democrat who deserves to win than to nominate cne who is able to win. We must seek a leader in whom these two qualities are united. 1 believe that Mr. Wilson answers both require- ments. In saying this I disparage no one who is or may be an aspirant. If the collective wisdom of Democracy should select another leader, I should follow him with unfaltering fidelity. To illus- trate my feelings, if the brilliant Speaker of the House should be nominated, I should follow him with as much devotion as the French soldiery followed “The White Plume of Navarre.” Qur nominee should be chosen without preju- dice or partiality. He should deserve towin. He should receive the unanimous support of a unit* ed party. When Democrats divide, Republicans conquer. Harmony is indispensible to success. We should impose a prohibitive tariff on the “ap- ples of discord.” I believe that every Democrat could support Mr. Wilson without compromising his conscience or his convictions. In respect of principle, he is a Democrat of the ancient and accepted order. De- mocracy means the rule of the people. He be- lieves that the governed should govern. He trusts the people; the people can trust him. In respect of legislative policies. he is abreast of the times. He is in harmony with the spirit of enlightened and rational progress, and yet he is wise enough to know that “too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.” We must not over-estimate our own strength or under-estimate that of our adversary. With New Jersey and New York, Democratic success is pos- sible. Without those States defeat is inevitable. If any one can carry those States Wilson can. If he cannot, no one can. In point of availability, therefore, he outranks his Democratic compatri- The WATCHMAN believes that Senator GORE'S views express the feeling and sentiment of a vast majority of the Demo- crats of the State, notwithstanding their high opinion of other worthy men who have been named as possible candidates for the nomination.

The picture is the work of W. L. Antrim and M. A. Landsy, of Philadelphia, and those who knew the famous jurist at the time when he presided over the courts of Centre county speak of it as a remarka- ble painting and superb work of art. The above gentlemen have now fully complet- ed and hung portraits of judges Love, Furst, Orvis and Linn and they are all paintings of great merit. Since the pic- tures have been hung in memorial hall it has a more finished as well as furnished appearance. They represent a quartet of able judges and it is a worthy act for their descendants to thus perpetuate their memory and greatest life work. Of course Centre county had quite a num- ber of other able judges and living de- scendants of any of them, if able to do so, should have their pictures painted and hung in memorial hall, as there is an abundance of room yet to be filled. tm ——1If Altoona and Tyrone people be- lieved in the efficacy of advertising when it is to be paid for, as they do when they hope to get it for nothing, there would be little space left in this issue of the WATCHMAN for anything or anybody else. Both of these towns are doing their level best to secure crowds for their Fourth of July celebration, which is declared will be big and safe and sane by both and each one knows just how it can reach the people in the surest manner; conse- quently the aggregate requests of the two places for space to tell of all they are go- ing to do and show to visitors amounts | somewhere near six full columns. In ad- dition to this comes along a typewritten notice, that would fil! another half col- umn of what the Blair County Road Driv- ers association expect to do during their two-day meet-July 1st, and 4th. Really the WATCHMAN would like to accommodate its up-country friends to the extent of their solicitation, for it has scores of friends and hundreds of readers and pa- trons in both places, but it must politely decline to make so large a contribution at one time, for the benefit of their busi- ness men and the “glory” of their citi- zens, and asks them to be satisfied with the simple announcement of their pur- pose to celebrate the Fourth and to have a good time generally on that day, even if they have to doit themselves. We ap- preciate their recognition of the WATCH- MAN as an advertisingjmedium and con- gratulate them on this exhibition of their good judgment in the matter of knowing how and through what medium they can best reach” the people of this section of the State. ots. “Public sentiment is to a nation what conscience Ceaper—Though not unexpected it | still was with a feeling of deep sadness and regret that the people of Bellefonte | learned of the death, on Tuesday noon, of been | Miss Mary Louise Ceader, eldest caugh- | College, ‘ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ceader. | P | Monday evening and received such a!

The funeral was held at noon on Wed- nesday, burial being made in the Union cemetery. l i GILL.—On Wednesday morning of last week Joseph Gill died at his home at Unionville after an illness of over two years with stomach trouble and other ail- ments.

Three brothers aiso survive, namely: John, of Winburne; George and William, of Julian. The funeral was held last Friday afternoon, burial being made in the lower cemetery at Unionville. OH, RATS.—At least that’s what mail carrier Robert Woodring thought Mon- day morning when he opened the letter box opposite the Episcopal church and a monster rat jumped out. Of course there is no mystery about how the rat got into the box. There is only one possible way, and that is by being placed there by some maliciously-inclined person and postmaster Harter will pay a rewar: of ten dollars to find the man. BO ers ——Referee H. C. Quigley had a hear" ing in a bankruptcy case on Monday morning. It was that of L. C. Thompson, a former merchant of Howard.

WiLLIAMS—WILLIAMS.—A wedding that will be of interest to WATCHMAN readers in the western part of Centre county was that on Wednesday evening of Rev. Gor- don Arch Williams, pastor of the Broad Avenue Methodist church, Altoona, and Miss Edith W. Williams, of Port Matilda, the ceremony being performed by district superintendent B. C. Connor at his home in Altoona. Immediately after the cere- | mony Rev. Williams conducted the week- | ly prayer meeting and at its close was tendered a reception by his congregation. Afterward the bride and groom were given a kitchen shower at their own home. Rev. Williams was born and raised at Port Matilda and is a graduate of Dickin- son College, Carlisle. His bride is one of the best known young women of Port Matilda where for a number of years she has been engaged in dressmaking. —— A So BEIGHTOL —SHOPE—Charles T.

They deplore the condition that con- fronts the party in the State and are anx- ious to see some change for the better, just as we zil are, but, I fear it will not come through either of the factions at present striving for control in the State. No doubt, in the end, all will come out , right and men who are broad enough to sink petty jealousies will take command. The replies were published in last weeks !

He makes the assertion that were the elec-’ tion of last fall to be taken over, not twenty per cent of those who voted for Mr. Grim in the county would vote for him now. We do not know what ground he has for his belief, but do know it would not hold good in this end of the | county. Further, he takes occasion to . make a fling at Mr. Meek who for years has been secretary of the State Commit: tee.

We feel that Mr. Meek is not deserv- ing of such treatment and protestagainst it. Further, there is an important elec- tion occurring this fall. An election of more importance to the people of this county than the election of a Governor or President.

Consequently officers Dukeman and Justice were on hand when the train came in, and the man was also on hand, riding the bumpers between the tender and baggage car, but the police did not arrest him. The person was none other than Mr. Watt, road foreman of engines of the Tyrone division, and he was ostensibly stealing a ride down the valley to find out how many of the tower operators were on their jobs and would report the matter to the superintendent's office in Tyrone. ——George Boal Thompson, of Alto, was host of a party who spent four days last week on a horseback trip through the Seven mountains, making their head- quarters in a camp at the Bear Meadows. In the party were Col. and Mrs. Nicolas de Uroullu, who since State College com- mencemnent have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Boal at Boalsburg; Irvin Thompson, of Pittsfield, Mass.; young John Irvin Thompson and several others. In addition to the two driving horses used to transport the camp equippage they had seven saddle horses along on the trip and almost the entire time was spent in ex- ploring the heights and valleys of the Seven mountains. CONFERENCE ON RURAL CONDITIONS, — A conference on rural conditions, which will include educational, religious, indus- trial and social will be held at State Col- lege on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week, July 5th, 6th and 7th.

They know that factional- ism has brought politics in the State to a deplorable condition, and that this should be stopped. We trust that out of it all good will come, and that some man or men may be found large enough and broad enough to rise above petty fac- tionalism who will be able to re-unite all who desire good, clean government under acommon standard. We feel it the duty of every good citizen to work for the election of good men to office and to protest against these petty personalities which can only cause strife. Mr. Kimport, as chairman of the coun- ty and member of the State committee, can, in my estimation, best serve the in- terests of the Democracy by voting for a candidate for State chairman who has a clean record as a regular Democrat and is not connected with any of the factions now distracting the party.
