Our uptown contemporary— The Lem-
ocrai—known as the organ of the present
“alf-an-alf” Surveyor of Customs at Phil-
adelphia, charles r. kurtz, announces
with seeming pleasure the candidacy of
W. D. Zersy, of this place, for State
Committeeman. After informing its
readers that Mr. ZERBY “was a former
county chairman and is known in local
politics as a reorganization Democrat
who has been in sympathy with that
movement Jor years,” it assures its
readers that if Mr. Zerby is elected “he
wili support A. MITCHELL PALMER, GEO.
W. GUTHRIE” and, we presume, VANCE
McCorMICK who are now known and
acting as bosses of the Democratic party
of the State.
In the column of space given to an-
nouncing Mr. ZERBY'S ambition The
Democrat makes no reference whatever
to the fact that there are Democrats in
Centre county whom Centre county's State
Committeeman ought to represent. It
seems to imagine that the duties and pur-
poses of our new State Committeeman
should be solely to “support the PALMER-
GUTHRIE-MCCORMICK element in our
party;” whether they be right or whether
they be wrong.
The WATCHMAN has no idea that the
Democrats of Centre county have any
desire to either endorse or perpetuate
factionalism in the party. It does not
believe that they have so little care for
party harmony, or so little concern for
the party’s good as to enthuse over a
candidate whose boss impudently an-
nounces that he wants to be State Com-
mitteeman merely to support PALMER
and his crowd and not to represent the
Democrats of Centre county.
WiLLiam F. Smith, of Millheim, former
Prothonotary of the county and a loyal,
working Democrat before Mr. ZERBY was
heard of, is also aspiring to be State
Committeeman. And the WATCHMAN is
for him because he doesn’t represent any
faction and because the people of Mill
heim, Penn, Miles and Haines town-
ships have petitioned in large numbers
to make him the representative of the
Democrats of Centre county. He is the
kind of man we want. One with enough
back-bone to represent the home Demo-
crats, and is not announcing that he only
wants to be State Committeeman to work
for a faction and thus keep the party
divided and dis!
The Case of Murderer Thaw.
If there were any hope that HARRY K.
THAW would “hie himself to a nunnery,”
or take himself into permanent seclusion
by any other route we could cheertully
join a Philadelphia contemporary in pro-
nouncing his escape from Matteawan a
“good riddance.” This offensive person
has been thrusting himself into public
view so much since his murder of STAND-
FORD WHITE some years ago, that any
way of getting rid of him must be wel-
comed. But we can see no reason to ex-
pect such a solution of the problem. The
chances are ten to one that he will con-
tinue to be a noisome nuisance in the
future as he has been in the past.
HARRY THAW is simply a murderer
with all the brutal instincts which usual-
ly characterize murderers. We have
never believed that he was insane when
he killed his victim or that he has been
crazy at any time since that event. But
he escaped the just punishment of a
murderer by pretending to be insane and
should be required to pay the penalty of
that act by being held in the mad house
until his release by death. His insolent
employment of money with the purpose
of avoiding that consequence of his crime
is an insult to the morals of the public.
The sinister assistance given him by his
family proves that his viciousness is in-
herited.
HARRY THAW ought to have been hung
for his crime immediately after it was
committed or as soon after as might have
been under the law. If he had been poor
or in reasonable circumstances, financial-
ly, that is precisely what would have
been the result of his trial. But he es-
caped the proper punishment of an atro-
cious murder by the corrupt use of in-
herited money and ever since he has
been flouting public sentiment and decent
opinion by keeping himself in the public
eye. There is no room for miscreants of
his type in the life of this country and he
ought to be remanded to the asylum
and kept there until his death.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
—Elliot Lane, of Linn street, is home
from the tournament of the Northwestern
Tennis Asso. at Newcastle, with the third
consecutive trophy forsingles. For three
years he has won the championship there
and surprising as it may seem few of
his friends here have ever seen him play
in real form for the reason that he has
never had opposition to draw him out in
games played here. We congratulate
the young champion.

largely explains why Congress delayed
so long in the admission of these two

are just as productive.

Panama canal will bring it into connec-

and Japan are destined to be among the
leading civilized nations of the world;
their traffic with the United States will

entrance to San Francisco bay and is
about one and one-half or two miles
wide. Inside of it is the bay or harbor
of SanjFrancisco, which is about seventy
miles long, varying in width from five to
fifteen miles. Completely sheltered on
all sides, it is the largest land-locked har-

| Sunday School Workers Must Get Busy.
Sunday school workers in Centre coun-
ty will doubtless be interested in the fol-
lowing information: For two years Cen-
! tre county has been one of the front line
counties in the State. Last year the last
county in the State reached that posi-
| tion. This year it was hoped that every
| county would maintain the work. This
| will probably be the case except for one
‘county. That county is Centre. In or-
| der that it makes good again this year
thirty schools must have feacker traning
| classes that have taken an examination
| since the first of October last, and before
! the first of next October. Of these thir-
| ty schools, but twelve have met the re-
: quirement. Unless eighteen more schools
i get their classes to take tests within the
'next two months, the county will not
| stay where it has been during the last
two years and will be at the bottom of
the list of Sunday school counties in
{ Pennsylvania. There is yet time to re-
deem the county, and this is a call from
the county and State associations to all
| Sunday school workers in the county to
i get to work AT ONCE and save the day
| for the county. There should be a teach-
i er training class in every Sunday school
in the county. If your school has none,
begin to plan to get it into such a class,
! and help out your school and county at
| once.
Y M. C. A. NEws.—The rear founda-
tion walls of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium have given away and it will
be necessary to move the building back
at least fifteen feet in order to find solid
ground for a new foundation. When the
swimming pool was built and opened to
the public it sprung a leak at the valve
of the emptying pipe. The leak was not
discovered for some time and the water
that escaped found a course under the
rear of the gymnasium with the result
that the ground was literally honeycomb-
ed and finally the foundation walls gave
way and the building sank. An investi-
gation shows that it will be impossi-
ble to rebuild the foundaticn there and
the only way to repair the building is to
move it back about fifteen feet upon a
new foundation. To do this will cost in
the neighborhood of fifteen hundred dol-
lars.
To meet this unusual and extraordi-
nary expense the Ladies Auxiliary are
planning to hold a several days carnival
during the latter part of September. The
carnival will be held at the association
and will be big enough to occupy not
only the gymnasium but most of the
rooms in the association building. One
of the features in connection therewith
will be a baby show. This will be some-
thing new for Bellefonte, but as there is
no lack of babies in this community it
ought to prove a popular innovation.
There will be booths of all kinds, repre-
senting various nations, so that there
will be plenty to amuse and entertain
the crowd during the time the carnival
is in progress.
Friends of the association have com-
pleted plans for the installation of a pub-
lic drinking fountain, to be built in the
front wall of the building between the
two windows. The fountain will project
only a few inches outside the level of the
wall except at the faucet. It will be
equipped with sanitary drinking cups
and a modern press-the-button-and-get-a-
drink appliance. The plans also include
an extension of the fountain to the curb,
by a pipe under the pavement, where a
watering place for animals will be placed,
if permission to make this extension can
be secured from the borough council. It
is not proposed to have the water run-
ning continuously at the watering place,
but arranged to turn on only when need-
ed. A drain will be put in to connect with
the sewer pipe running from the gym-
nasium. This fountain will be placed in
position before the end of August.
