In compliance with the provisions of Rule five of the rules governing the Democratic party in Centre county, the annual meeting of the Demo- cratic County Committee will be held in the grand jury room in the court house in Belle- fonte, on TUESDAY, THE 15th OF AUGUST, 1911 AT 10 A. M,, in may be properly brought before the meeting. All members of the committee are desired to be in attendance. A. B. KIMPORT, Bellefonte, Pa., July 25th, 1911, Chairman. The Keystone Party Anniversary. The Keystone party of Pennsylvania celebrated the first anniversary of its or- ganization at a dinner in Philadelphia, a few days ago. There were 300 persons present at the dinner, including two Sen- ators in Congress, and two of the late candidates in this State. A new platform was adopted, a lot of speeches made and all the signs of a militant organization and purpose revealed. Among the speak- ers were Mr. WiLLiam H. BERRY, Mr. EuGeNE C. BONNIWELL and Mr. CORNELI us D. Scurry. Mr. BERRY and Mr. ScuL- LY were the Democratic “decoy ducks” in the campaign last fall. Mr. BERRY, especially, was the man they conjured with, on that occasion, in performing the work that saved PENROSE from defeat. Mr. BERRY assured his associates at the feast that he “is in the game to the finish." In other words, the blandish- ments of VANCE MCCORMICK and GEORGE W. GUTHRIE have not allured “the graft exposer” from his obligations or fooled him into following them. Mr. BERRY may not be able to see farther into one millstone than another. But his mental optics are sufficiently keen to discern that neither MCCORMICK nor GUTHRIE would have supported him for Governor if they hadn't believed that it was the most certain way to defeat the Democrat- ic candidate for the office and make sure of the success of the PENROSE machine. The President and the Hele. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. In the zeal of a subsidized organ the esteemed Philadelphia Ledger makes a STiTZER.— Bellefonte lost another of its well known residents in the death, short- spectacle of itself in trying to shield President TAFT from impending dangers.

Her husband died a number of years ago, but surviving her are a son and a daughter, Norman A., of Tyrone, and Mrs. Annie Shope, of Liverpool, Ohio. She also leaves her aged mother, Mrs. Barbara Mitchell, of Snow Shoe, and three sisters, namely: Mrs. Laura Hev- erly, of Jersey Shore; Mrs. Bertha Askey, of Philipsburg, and Mrs. Georgianna O'Connor, of near Philipsburg.

In view of this incident it is safe to predict a good many disappointments in this State in the near future. In every county where mercenary impulses have taken the place of political principles men have rushed to the support of Mc- CorMiCK and GUTHRIE in their conspiracy to complete the destruction of the Demo- cratic party. The hope of a coalition between the Republican Keystoners and Democratic recreants, which will produce the spoils of office, have beguiled them. But the tone of the speakers and the text of the resolutions at the Keystone dinner last week will disabuse their minds of this delusion if they have sufficient intelli- gence to analyze. Keystoners will paddle their own canoe. ——The Abernathy boys started from New York, the other day, to ride horse back to San Francisco in sixty days and out of that fact arises he hope that the ROOSEVELT worship is ended on this side of the Rocky mountains. Another Stain on Roosevelt. The testimony in relation tothe Har- vester trust has put another indelible stain upon the ROOSEVELT administra- tion. It has been shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that ROOSEVELT and his Attorney General were fully informed with respect to the exploiting of GEORGE W. PERKINS and J. PIERPONT MORGAN, in which the farmers of the country were the helpless victims. It was the most cold-blooded looting operation that has ever been perpetrated. But it was per- mitted to go on, just as the Tennessee Coal and Iron company merger was tole rated, for the reason that ROOSEVELT couldn't afford to offend Mr. MORGAN.

Following the regulation wedding dinner Mr. and Mrs. Harvey left in as automobile for a tour through the east. The bride is quite well known in Belle- fonte. She is a graduate of Birmingham Seminary and is a bright, vivacious young lady. The bridegroom is a son of the late W. 1. Harvey, of Lock Haven, and for several years has been the general manager of the Centre Brick and Clay company, at Orviston, where they will make their home.
