could to help Bellefonte. He was a man

personality that won him him many
friends among all classes in life. He
was a devout adherent to the Jewish
faith, and a member of the Knights of

About the New Glass Plant.
Editor Watchman:
gratified at the success they are meeting
in the launching of their new industry at
Bellefonte. On Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Richard Hurley, a” general glass house
contractor, was in town looking over the
several sites with a view of placing bids
for the construction of the factory and
the tank equipment. Two Pittsburgh
glass house contractors and one Ohio
firm have already placed their bids on
the construction and equipment of the
plant. The factory will be up-to-date in
every respect. It will give employment
to at least sixty men when onze in
operation.
It is understood that most of the stock
necessary for the building and the proper
equipment of the factory has been sub-
scribed. There is no longer any ques-
tion as to whether the factory will be a
go. The question is have we secured
some of the stock since the plant is an
assured fact. Enough money has already
been paid into the proposition to give |
positive assurance of the success of the
plant. Five salesman, and board, are at

WHY?
(Forthe Watchman)
Why should the tender words be said
‘When one is dead;
When hearts are still and ne'er again
Can suffer pain.
When tear-dimmed eyes are closed
In death’s repose?
They hungered for through all the weary
years?
Why did we save our smile,
When all the while
Their hearts were hungry for one word
To show we heard;
Their hands stretched mutely for love's touch
They valued much?
And now beside their bier we bow our head
Telling their virtues, after they zre dead.
Perhaps if we had said what we now say
Some
strife;
Their wasted life
shewn
Love to condone
They were but mortal and they needed praise
To spur them on to higher paths and ways.
We are so prone to keep the roses till
The breath is chill,
Leaving the thorns within their pathway
drear
While they were here;
Telling their faults and never seeing good
As brothers should.
We wait; and when grim death the chapter
closes
We come with tender words and tears and
roses,

| State and Cities to Provide Monthly
Payments to Needy Mothers to Sup-

i
| State Senator John O. Sheatz, of
' Philadelphia, will introduce a bill in
: the legislature at Harrisburg on Mon-
| day, providing monthly payments to
| indigent, widowed or abandoned moth-
: ers for the partial support of their chil
dren in their own homes.
The measure is made applicable to
cities of the first, second and third
class throughout Pennsylvania. It pro-
| poses a state appropriation for the
| maintenance of such children, the cit-
ies benefiting to contribute an amount
equal to the allotment by the state.
i Mr. Sheatz’s bill is a novel mothers’
| pension act, which suggests the repeal
of all laws or parts of legislation in-
| consistent with its provisions. It would
i override the act of May 31, 1907, over
| which a controversy arose in the juve
: nile court when the question was
argued whether the present law could
| be so construed as to allow the county
! to pay for the support of three indi-
| gent children at their home instead of
' making them public dependents in an
{ institution. Judge Kinsey expressed
the opinion that such a practice would
be diversion of public funds for pri-
. vate purposes, but he reserved decision
i in the case.
| Senator Sheatz has sent a copy of
his bill to Judge Kinsey and will pre-
' sent it to the legislature whether or
not the judge rules that the present
; act could be made applicable to pen-
| sions for mothers.
The new bill provides that the gov-
are in position to take stock should no
longer hold back and hesitate, hampering
the new industry from rapid progress for
want of sufficient funds to go on build-
ing while the weather is favorable for
outdoor work.
Bellefonte should be justly proud of its
progressive citizens who have spent and
are now spending their best efforts in
pushing into our midst this profitable
industry. Think of what a weekly pay-
roll of eight hundred dollars will mean to
this community? How many of us have
fully entered into the movement of a
greater Bellefonte? Have we given this
movement all the enthusiasm and financial
support it deserves? Think it over and
let us shake off our slumber and move
