When it is understood that there have

terpiece of Mrs. Portor, it will not be
amiss to suppose that almost every per-
son in Bellefonte knows of the beautiful
simplicity of this immensely popular
story. The adaptation of Mr. Twomey,
is a most clever piece of work; it shows
| that he is in thorough sympathy with the
author: it is interest-compelling and
tensely dramatic, and its great charm
lies in its tender simplicity and unaffect-
ed naturalness.
Bud Fisher's clever cartoon conceit,
“Mutt and Jeff,” has had more wide-
spread publicity than any series of car-
toons in the history of journalism. Gus
Hill has succeeded in producing a music-
al comedy worthy of a famous artist’s en-
endeavors. “Mutt and Jeff” are repre-
sented as a couple of race-track habitu-
ants, always broke as such “grafters”
usually are. They learn of a rush to
Nickador, an imaginary South American
country where “chickle,” an important
ingredient in the manufacture of chew-
ing gum has been discovered in great
quantities. “Mutt and Jeff” ship as wait-
ers of the “Insurgent,” asteamship bound
for Nickador. They represent themselves
as the long lost heirs of the “Chickle” es-
tates and start a revolution. “Mutt”
proclaims himself president with his
faithful ally “Jeff” as vice-president.
Their bluff seems to work for a while
but does not end well. “Mutt and Jeff”
are glad to accept a pair of tickets back
to New York and relinquish their claim

the company come directly from a Broad-
way play house we doubt if the presenta.
tion of Charles Rann Kennedy's beauti-
ful play, “The Servant in the House,”
could have been any more impressive
than was that at Garman's Wednesday
night. As presented here it was more of
a sermon than a play, so superbly acted
as to have a most peculiar effect on the
audience. So intensely absorbing was it
that even applause seemed to profane the
atmosphere of a play house most trans.
formed into a church.
Victor E. Lambert, as “The Servant in
the House,” was superb and his support
so capable as to make the cast appear to
have no star. Not since “Ben Hur” and
“The Sign of the Cross” have we witness-
ed so altogether an uplifting play.
| the average woolen product is 16.61 per
cent. and surely with a tariff allowing,
upon revision,a margin of 42.55 per cent.,
ample profit would be still left to pay
American labor the munificent sum of
$35.77 per month.
When the cold wintry blasts strike you,
Mr. Voter, and you go to buy woolen gar-
ments, remember that Mr. Patton either
| dodged this bill or was absent, for at the
time it swept the House and Senate he
is recorded as not having voted. He al-
so didn’t vote upon the Conference re-
port upon the same bill. But when an
attempt was made to pass it over the
President's veto, our stand-pat Represen-
tative voted “No.” So far we have seen
him made common cause with the trusts
that rob the farmer, also with the trust
that robs us through the sugar bowl and
now we find him supporting the Woolen
Trust.
Did the trusts elect him or was it the
people of the Twenty-first District?
A BELLEFONTE WAGE WORKER,
No Disagreement About Scripture Dancing.
Editor Watchman:
The columns of a newspaper should al-
ways be open for all that is “profitable
for instruction in righteousness.” In the
Keystone Gazette of last week, Rev. Dr.
W. H. Schuyler, of Centre Hall, takes me
to task for what I have expressed con-
cerning the exercise of dancing according
to Scripture, that “it is out of harmony
with Scripture and therefore misleading.”
He says, “according to my interpretation
of Ecclesiastes 3:4, I might in the same
way justify the act of murder by quoting
from the same chapter, 3rd verse, ‘There
is a time to kill." ”
The Doctor, I think, must clearly see
that there is no valid logical argument in
what he asserts. Because the Bible teach-
es, “There is a time to dance,” it does
not consequently follow that there isa
time to “steal,” a time to “murder,” a
time to “covet” or any other wrong-doing
everywhere forbidden in the Sacred vol-
ume. I can assure Dr. Schuyler that I
with him fully accept Rev. Dr. Patton's
Scripture quotations and conclusions on
this subject. After a careful considera-
tion of the matter, there appears to me a
substantial agreement of opinion.
I have carefully examined every text of
Scripture in which the word “dance” oc-
curs and I find nowhere in the Bible any
text forbidding the little children and
young people in our families spending an
evening's pleasurable pastime in the ex-
largely regardiess of moral or intellectual
fitness in fine, it was the last stand of re-
actionary politics where the dollar stood
above the man, vested interests above
human rights and political expediency | M
above civil righteousness.
The special interests through their
craven agents in the Senate, began dic-
tating the appointment of federal judges.
Large corporate interests endorsed cer-
tain of their pliant legal tools to fill va-
cant and newly created judgeships and
these endorsements were considered so
sacred, secret and confidential that the
public was never advised of their con-
tents. It was none of the people's busi-
ness, for if a bribe-taking Penrose and
those whom he represented, wanted an
Archbald elevated to the bench, why
should an outraged public know who
stood back of such an unworthy, dis-
credited applicant?
So that when a Senate amendment was
offered to strike out from House Resolu-
tion No. 17595 the words “that hereafter
before the President shall appoint any
district, circuit or supreme judge, he
shall make public all endorsements made
on behalf of any applicant,” Mr. Patton
voted in favor of the amendment to strike
out these words. He stood against the
application ot the principle of representa-
tive government. By his vote he favored
the maintenance of a secret, under-
ground route for predatory wealth and
special interests to control such appoint-
ees and leave unrevealed the endorse-
ments that have been packing our courts
with agents of favor-seeking corpora-
tions.
Did Mr. Patton's vote in this regard
represent your convictions, Mr. Voter?
