Deworvalic atc BY P. GRAY MEEK. msnma——| INK SLINGS. ——Speaking of GEORGE ADE for Sena- tor in Congress “listens’’ like a “Fable in Slang.” —The time is coming when some one will be talking about winter lingering in the lap of spring. —Next Monday will be ground hog day, then we will know whether winter is to last six weeks longer. —1If the snow continues to go as grad- ually as it has been going we will proba- bly escape the great flood that seemed almost inevitable after that deep blanket of “the beautiful” had covered these parts of the country. —As a result of the SUNDAY meetings in Pittsburgh, the Gazette— Times and Chronicle Telegraph, two great dailies of that city, have announced that after present contracts expire they will never again receive liquor advertisements. —Rumors are flying thick and fast about prospective candidates for Con- gress in this district, but up to this time the bosses have not made known just which one of them we will have to vote for or be charged with fighting the or- ganization. —“Butch” McDEVITT, the Wilkes-Bar- re “millionaire for a day,” is going to Washington to present a bust of himself to Congress. “Butch” is likely busted again and has conceived this bust giving pilgrimage with the idea that coin will som ehow slip into his pockets. —Whenever you see the prices of seats on the New York stock exchange jump- ing like they are now look out for big business booms. The brokersdon’t often guess wrong on those questions and their eagerness looks very like the advance signals of an era of great prosperity. —The old slang expression; “Well, I guess you know where to get off at now,” doesn’t help our Congressman PATTON in his present dilemma. He is’ surely between the devil and the deep sea and either the Stalwarts or the Pro- gressives will have his political scalp nailed to the barn before the Ides of November. ’ —Just why GIFFORD PINCHOTT should be put forward to represent Pennsylva- nia in the upper branch of Congress we are unable to say. In the first place Mr. PINCHOTT is not a resident of Pennsylva- nia and in the second it looks as though our. friends, the Bull Moose, were admit- ting that they have no other man within 5 & Col. GEo. I. GOETHALS to be civil Gover- nor of the Canal Zone. Aside from: hon- oring the'man to whom honor is due the President has placed the machinery of government on the Zone in the hands of the one man most intimately acquainted with the conditions as they exist there now and best fitted to cope with emer- gencies that the future may reveal. —We note, with regret, that there is talk of Representative BENSON, of Mc- Kean county, becoming a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district. We hope it terminates in talk, because Mr. BENSON is not en- titled to such an honor. He is only a Democrat when it suits him to be one and not the kind of a party man’ that either a Regular or a Reorganizer could consistently support. Let us have some one other than BENSON. —How times have changed. there are 2185 students at The Pennsyl- vania State college and 81 per cent. have a church preference. Twenty-five years ago there were only 200 students in attendance at the institution and scarcely 10 per cent. of them would have had a preference had an opportunity to express it been presented. Yet there are those who tie the corners of their mouth under their chin and hug the delusion that the world is not growing better. —State chairman MORRIS returned from Washington on Monday, where he was in conference with MITCH PALMER concerning the distribution of postmas- terships “in a number of little hamlets throughout the State,” as he put it. MITCH certainly is the whole cheese" when it comes to being big boss of our party. In the old days the Congressman representing the district in which the ap-- pointment was to be made had the say in such matters, but all the other Demo- cratic Congressmen from Pennsylvania are now reorganized into taking any crumbs it suits MITCH to throw to them. —A local minister who has been preaching a series of special sermons to young folks recently took for his texts for two sermons: “Say Thank You” and “Be Honest.” Considered in their ulti- mate effect upon the lives of children we cannot now think of two more cardinal points to impress upon them. In fact it is hard to conceive how children to whom * politeness and honesty have become sec- ond nature can develop into anything other than companionable, useful, chris- tian men and women. It is altogether within the range of possibility that if every child were brought to understand and rigidly observe only these two little rules, in their broadest sense, there would. be little use for either exortation or jails in the future. their ranks with ability enough to fill the ~—President WILSON has pleased the entire country by the appointment of Now : ] STATE RIGHTS AN D FEDERAL UNION.

Senator PENROSE has semi-officially an- nounced his candidacy for re-election and states that headquarters for his cam- paign will be opened in the near future. But he is engaging in a hopeless contest —entering upon a forlorn hope. He has become a rampant reactionary. He ap- pears to be oblivious of the signs of the times. He says his platform will be op- position to President WILSON’s tariff and currency policies. If he would “look and listen” even for a moment, recognize the futility, not to say absurd- ity, of such a campaign. The country is practically a unit in support of the President in both of these questions. Everybody is with him. To invest such a campaign with even a hopeful aspect industrial paralysis and commercial stagnation is essential. As a matter of fact these conditions were never more remote. For example in the paper in which the Senator’s announce- ment appears we find, on another page, such interesting announcements as these: “Dun’s Review will say to-morrow: Bank exchanges this week at the principal cities in the United States make a some- what better exhibit than of late.” “Brad- street’s will say tomorrow: Sentiment— financial, industrial and commercial— manifestly is better than a week or a month ago. Apparently the President’s message has helped toclear the economic atmosphere and business men seem more disposed to go ahead.” Those are the views of experts and are dependable. But they are not without support. The same paper says: “In anticipation of an increase in freight business between now and April 1, the Philadelphia and Reading Railway and Pennsylvania Railroad are taking all cars that are in storage and getting them ready for service.” On another page of the same paper we find: “Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly review of the Dry Goods trade, say: “Our road sales for the past week indicate a much better tone in dry goods conditions throughout the country.” “The Lackawanna railroad has placed a contract for its Buffalo ter- “The Wabash railroad is in the market that the Chesapeake and Ohio will place orders for 30 locomotives.” And so this song of prosperity goes. “The American Bridge Co.submitted the lowest tender on bridges to be construct- ed for the Cleveland and Youngstown railroad, calling for 2000 tons of struc- tural shapes. Inquiries are in the mar- ket for 2700 tons of steel bars to be used in the Superior avenue bridge at Cleve- land.” “Underlying conditions in the textile markets continue good. Easier money is giving jobbers more comfort than they have enjoyed in that direction for eight months.” And so ad libitum. nothing on the subject, apparently. He is oblivious of facts and conditions. Somebody ought to have his head ex- amined. ° Wilson and Others—A Contrast. President WILSON makes no conceal- ment of his plans. Congress on the Trust question he made entirely clear his views as to the most feasible means of “drawing thc teeth” of the trusts and unlawful combinations, yand with respect to foreign affairs he has taken the Senate committee into his confidence. That is an innovation of great significance. An impression has always prevailed that such things should be held in secrecy. During the adminis- under the direction of the President.

Big business and prominent men are concerned only in ratio with the less conspicuous and are entitled to only the same ratio of consideration. public on the outside. President WiL- SON believes in treating all alike which is the essence of Democracy. There is a sharp contrast between the methods of President WILSON and those tives” which is directing the affairs of present. Two or three of these party bosses meet in Washington behind the closed doors of an office building and not only make the ticket but frame the plat- dered to obey. This method of dragoon- ing has never been attempted before and Democrats are watching patiently the re- sult. But President WILSON can’ have no sympathy Jun such proceedings. % he would Interlocking Directorates. There are a few esteemed contempo- raries and a meager number of business men throughout the country whe are ap- prehensive of the effect of a law forbid- ding interlocking directorates. They im- agine that such legislation would deprive owners of property of the inherent right to manage it and ultimately end in the confusion if not the collapse of business. Every corporation they reason, has a right to select the fittest men available to direct its operations and if such men were tied up in other directorates, a just right is forfeited. Besides, they add, a man has a right to a voice in the man- agement of every concern in which he | has money invested and no law prevent- | . . ing that could be valid. The proposed legislation prohibiting interlocking directorates will deprive no minal wifi¢h calls for 6500 tons of steel.” for 60 locomotives and it is understood | In his address to tration of THEODORE ROOSEVELT the State Department refused to respond to | a demand of Congress for information, ' ed with the change in. practice..

A man doesn’t have to be | a director in a corporation to exercise a | voice in its management. If he did there would be fewer corporations and less in- | clination to invest in them. Directors are simply agents of the share holders. | But in the very large corporations the { Directors sometimes usurp authority and | because of the large proportions of the | corporations and the great number of shareholders, it is difficult to call them | to account. Out of these usurpations of , power has grown the opposition to inter- locking directorates. From the beginning of time every in- dustrial tyrant has answered every pro- test against cruelties and excesses, by as- serting that he has a right to manage his own property in his own way. This right only extends so far as it may be exercised in justice and equity to others. If a man wants to conduct an enterprise in a manner that impairs the health or jeopardizes the lives or limbs of em- ,ployees, he is exceeding his right and de- serves to be restrained by law. So if corporations are impairing the rights of others by combination of forces, they are going beyond the limits of reason and should be checked by legislation. Cor- ‘porations are fictitions persons aid ‘amenable to any just regulation. { have oppressed the public was mainly in- terlocking directorates. PIERPONT MOR- GAN being owner of a big bank and di- rector of the New Haven and Hartford score or so of other concerns made all the corporations with which he was con- nected dependent upon himself, and he {served them upon his own terms. His membership on the Boards gave him a knowledge of the wants and aspirations of each and they had to come to his terms or be crushed out of existence. This is not an exaggerated illustration. | It was the rule of his time and would be | been elected President. | Another evil which the proposed legis- \ lation will probably destroy was the hab- it which directors of two corporations | had of interchanging business at exorbi- | tant prices. For example the director of ‘ a railroad is also a share owner and di- rector in a rail mill. Through his ma- nipulation the railroad buys rails from , the rail mill at eight to ten dollars a ton .more than is charged to some other cus: tomers. The profit to the mill goes, in part, into the pocket of the director of ' the railroad and the public pays the bill "in excessive freight rates. For these rea- sons the proposed legislation is both wise and timely and those who object to it have something the matter with their morals or their brains. ——It seems that nomination of PIN- , CHOTT for Senator is the price ROOSEVELT ‘has set wpon his support of the Bull and consequently is not eligible to the office. But ROOSEVELT never did care much for constitutional restraints and if ROOSEVELT is alienated there will be little left of the Bull Moose party. | ——BIRDMAN LINCOLN BEACHEY is of the opinion that “you can fly a kitchen table if your motor is strong enough.” Probably. But to loop the loop on a kitchen table, would be a job only for idiots in that line, and the fewer of them the country has, the better for its repu- tation. § ! of the coterie of “intellectual diminu-| __a campaign based on opposition ! to President WiLSON’Ss Mexican policy is neither wise nor safe. elections have arrived conditions are likely to vindicate the policy and that , would be bad for such a campaign. —1If Governor STUART is wise he will "keep out of the next gubernatorial cam- paign..

He says “the most important phase of our party activity is at hand.” By that he means the distribution of party patronage. urges what he calls “progressive Demo- crats” to great energy and wise caution in the selection of candidates. He ad- vises the voter “to sign nomination pa- pers only of men in whom he has the utmost confidence as to ability, integrity, devotion to the public interest and loyal- ty to party principles,” which is excel- lent advice. Mr. MORRIS appears to have changed his mind upon the primary election ques- tion, Some weeks ago he broke into a Philadelphia pulpit, in some way, and ex- pressed himself very emphatically in op- position to the State wide primary law. But like the late friend of Mr. MuL- HOOLEY, he is “solid” for it now. He calls it “the wise extension of the direct pri- mary system.” While it was pending in the Legislature Mr. PALMER opposed it with much energy and little “Rolly” nat- urally conceived a great dislike for it. But subsequently President WILSON took the other side of the question and PAL- mer and ROLLY scampered to cover. We are glad to learn, moreover, that Chairman MORRIS is determined to pun- ish party traitors and pledge breakers. Obviously this is a thrust at Mr. BRYAN who seems to be very much in the way of MITCHELL PALMER’S aspiration to be President. It will be remembered that BRYAN was instructed to vote for CHAMP CLARK for the nomination but when CLARK'S nomination appeared imminent, BRYAN deserted him. Still you can’t always tell. He might have been rebuking VANCE McCorMICK and GEORGE GUTH- RIE for voting against BRYAN every time he ran. Anyway Mr. MORRIS’ address is notice that he is alive and that is some- thing. - ——The search for graft in New York is interesting and most of us hope that ‘all the rascals higher up and lower down ‘will bdcome &nmeshed in the net. But if a similar search were started in this State, say in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, we might tremble for the safety of some | of our supposed to be conspicuous states- : men. Wood's Cry for Troops. General LEONARD WooOD is again la- menting because of our unpreparedness i for war. The Sandwich Islands are in- . adequately protected, he declares, for the . reason that we haven’t enough soldiers : to go around. We need more troops in i the Canal Zone and the force on the | Philippine Islands ought to be increased. | We need troops to man the several forts But Senator PENROSE has seen or heard ' the rule yet if WooDROW WILSON had not = at home, moreover, he adds, and “taking | one consideration with another,” we are .! in a sad plight, mainly because the Em- : peror of Germany or the Czar of Russia : has more troops to maneuver than our | Chief of Staff commands. There is no agency of exhaustion equal | to that of a big army. It is not alone | that it puts a large number of men on the pay roll but while increasing the non-producers it decreases the producers of the country. This “burning the can- dle at both ends,” a large army impover- ishes at double speed. But it multiplies opportunities for promotion and stimu- lates the desire for war. A country with a large army is always ready to fight at the drop of the hat and wars which might be averted under other circum- stances are precipitated because of pre- paredness. That is one of the evils of a big army. ; This country would be better off, eco- nomically, and every whit as safe if the regular army were reduced to half its present strength. We couldn’t make as big a parade, probably, but with a well developed militia system we would be quite as strong physically and much hap- pier. As it is, our military expenses are as large as those of any other country, for no other country contributes as much | to pensions. But with the additional ex- " pense which General Woob’s notion of a i fit standing army would entail there ! would soon be as much poverty in this | country as there is at present in Germany. ——Last week a half dozen or more ‘sledding parties from out of town took -advantage of the snow to come to Belle- fonte for a night at the theatre. There will be two good shows here next week, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and these nights would be ideal ones for sled- .ding parties to Bellefonte. = Wednesday night's show, especially, will be worth coming quite a distance to see. | ——When Mr. PALMER, and Chairman MORRIS get together in Washington, the Democratic horizon takes on a brilliant hue. But campaigning for Pennsylvania { must be done within the State. i He! i Quick Action on the Trust Program. From the Harrisburg Star-Independent. Characteristic of the business like way the Wilson administration has gone about fulfilling the platform promises made by the Democratic party in the last national campaign, was the action of some of its prominent representatives among the law-makers in preparing, on the day following the reading of the President’s message on the trust prob- lem, five bills providing for the enact- { ment into law of most. of the principal recommendations contained in that doe- ument. . : These bills provide for the creation of the proposed Interstate Trade Commis- 1 sion which is to aid the courts in keep- | ing “big business” within the law; the elimination of interlocking directorates; empowering the Interstate Com Commission to regulate the issuance of railroad securities; a bill defining more specifically the provisions of the Sher- man anti-trust law, and legislation de- signed to eliminate “cut throat” compe- tition and to punish individuals instead of corporations for violations of the law. The prompt and systematic way the Democratic party has gone about carry- ing out its pledges is thus again demon- strated. There was no waste of time in putting through the tariff revision legisla- tion and that providing for the reform of the currency system; and now, before the Wilson administration is one year old the nation witnesses also the pleasing spectacle of Congress getting right down to work in the speediest possible way consistent with conservatism, grappling with the next big reform that the voters at the polls indicated they desire to have effected So The recommendations in one day and the legislation, for carrying out most of them, prepared the next! That is a bus- inesslike way of doing things that the whole country must admire. And there is little doubt that the whole Wilson pro- gram for eliminating the abuses of “big business,” which program is endorsed in Congress alike by Democrats and Repub- licans, will be enacted into law. An America Hero. From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. Appointment of Col.- William C. Gor- gas to be surgeon general of the army, which carries with it the relative rank and emoluments of a brigadier general, was the right thing for the President to do and he did it. Col. Gorgas has shown that he is eminently qualified for the duties of the place. It is a promofion in’ his own branch of the service, to the ‘highest place established therein by law. His notable work was as chief sanitary officer of the Panama Canal zone. It was thorough and heroic. He cleaned up the Isthmus. He conquered disease in the cities of Panama and in the zone, by diligent exercise ot the authority confer- red upon him. He made that region, theretofore, regarded as a pesthole, a desirable place of residence — one of the most healthful on the globe. He earned the promotion that has been given him, if ever a man earned any- thing. He earned even better, but un- fortunately there is nothing better to give at this time, and there will not be unless Congress should legislate. It is fitting, however, that he should have th: best that is available. : Col. Gorgas’s achievement at Panama attracted international attention. Many did not believe it possible for him or anyone else to do what he and the force under him accomplished. He has since been in demand. The government has been asked to lend him to other nations. At present he is in South Africa as a loan to the British government to show how sanitary conditions may be im- proved in the mines of that region. He is a credit to his country. He is a gener- al who has fought and won a war for ‘humanity. He is greater than if he had subdued a nation. The President’s rec- ognition of the fact is altogether credit- able to him. Steel Trust’s Great Farm. From the Harrisburg Patriot. The announcement that a great auto- mobile builder was about to divide $10,- 000,000 among the employees of his works and to introduce a profit-sharing plan, has been speedily followed by a statement that the United States Steel Corporation will shortly have in opera- tion the first co-operative farm in this country for supplying food stuffs as far as possible to all its employees. n SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE. —A deer, driven from the woods by stray dogs, has taken refuge in the barnyard of a South Williamsport gardener. The animal is being fed and cared for. —Punxsutawney is expecting to get a new in- dustry, in the shape of a plant of the Pure Car- bon company, which manufactures supplies for -electrical machinery. I —Latrobe police think they have, in Clarence Moore, a colored lad, the leader of the gang that has been concerned in numerous robberies in that vicinity recently. * > —The body of Charles Egan has arrived at hig home in DuBois from Kentucky, where he was killed while acting the part of peacemaker in a fight at a mining camp. —Neuralgia of the heart brought death quickly to George Burket, aged 44, as he was busy with his work as watchman at a grade crossing at Mt. : Union. His wife and six daughters survive. —Guests leaving a “‘dry”’ Mt. Union hotel, pool room and shooting gallery with unsteady legs have resulted in the arrest of W. W. Cyphers and his son Earl, who are said to have sold liquor . illegally. —Harold Van Corder, an automobile demon- strator in the employ of the Penn Auto Sales ° company, was arrested at Greensburg on sus- picion of having been concerned in the daring automobile hold-ups in Pittsburgh recently. - —Francese Corsario, of Clymer. who lies paralyzed from his waist down in a hospital at’ Dixonville, has been awarded a Carnegie medal and $75 a month. He saved the life of policeman Matthew Leonard last November, when mur- derous assailants beset him in a dark place. —There was considerable excitement in the Renovo yard,a few days ago when two elephants, in course of transportation from Michigan to the eastern part of the State, grew restive and tried to knock the end of the car out. Shop repairmen were called to make the temporary cage safe. —The large window glass plant at Shingle- house, Pa., has been indefinitely closed. Scarcity of gas has been assigned as the reason for the suspension of ‘operations, and it is feared that unless some new wells are located in the vicinity of Shinglehouse, the plant may never again be operated. -—While skating on the Susquehanna river dam near Lewisburg, Musser Johnson and LeRoy Ickes, struck thin ice and were thrown into the water. Oliver Stucker, a teamster, saw them and hastily drew his reins and hurried to them. But the lines were too short and the boys were drawn under before he could reach them. —Lock Haven has been hardly treated by death inthe past few months having lost several of its best citizens. Another has just been called, J. F. McCormick, aged 53 years, a prominent lum- ber dealer, a zealous member of the Great Island Presbyterian church, one of the most interested in civic affairs, but unostentatious in all his good works. —State game wardens are engaged in rounding up a number of deer in Centre and adjoining counties for shipment to the counties which re- cently were ordered closed to all deer hunting. These counties include Cambria, Somerset, Fayette and Indiana and it is the idea to stock them with deer. Some fine bucks were recently taken in Centre and Clearfield counties. —Clarion county is again experiencing an oil boom which recalls in many ways the oil excite- ment of 50 years ago. Many old fields are again being drilled in and others are being opened. Near Clarion a gas producer has brought in nearly a million feet of gas a day and already Pittsburgh capitalists have purchased about 1500 acres of land upon which they will drill. —The accidental opening of a door, “just to look around" by a night watchman at a building near the Railway street crossing at Williamsport, saved Thomas Green, who had been hit by a flyer, from bleeding to death as he lay beside the track. Heisina critical condition at the hos- pital, but undoubtedly would have been found dead in the morning had not the watchman obeyed his impulse. —Percy Pool, a miner, aged about 24 years, was instantly killed in the mines of the Dollie Coal Co., near Osceola Mills, on Wednesday. Al- though no one witnessed the accident it is thought that the two mine cars which the young man was allowing to run out of his room got be- yond his control and that endeavoring to set the brakes on them he slipped and fell between the cars and the “rib” of solid coal along the track. —Kane is rejoicing over the fact that the Kane Window Glass company has voted to sell its big factory to another company and that it is ex- pected the large factory will be in operation by the middle of the summer. Six glass making ma- chines will be installed, and the Republican goes so far as to say that Kane will be the best known manufacturing town in Western Pennsylvania. We hope for their success, but they should be considerate and not crowd DuBois off the map. —John Sabol proved himself areal hero at the Cambria Steel works, Johnstown, recently, al. though his efforts to save the life of Pete Wuletic were in vain. Wauletic could not read and step- ped over a danger sign on a beam carrying live wires heavily charged. Sabol stood three inches from the deadly wires, grabbed Wuletic by the jacket and held him seventy feet above ground until a rope could be brought to lower him. But the cuirent had already given him a fatal shock. —To the fact that they had just left their home for a little while, J. Frank Campbell and wife, of Iselin, owe their escape from death last Sunday evening. The spot where Mrs. Campbell had been standing just before they started was wreck. ed by an explosion of dynamite which shattered all the windows and wrecked the wood work. Mr. Campbell is manager of the store at Iselin. He and his wife are both quite popular and police are at a loss for a clue to the identity of the would be assassins. —Hundreds of persons were exposed to scarlet fever when Esther Morrisey. aged 16, employed containing 8,000 acres was | at the Williamsport silk mill, left her boarding bought about fourteen years ago by the ! place in that city and traveled to her home near company near Conneaut, Ohio, with a | view to erecting a great steel plant there. This scheme was abandoned and since then the land has been used for grazing and farming. Other adjoining property has been ac- quired until now the proposed co-opera- tive farm has 12,000 acres available. It is the expectation of the company, by means of this farm, to materially reduce the cost of living among its thousands of employees. Notwithstanding all we hear about in- dustrial unrest there was, we believe, never before in the history of the world a period when large employers of labor were, generally speaking, so well dispos- ed towards their workmen and so anx- ious to improve their condition as they are now. ——Friends of A. A. DALE Esq., are urging him to become a candidate for the nomination for State Senator on the Re- publican ticket at the Spring primaries. Mr. DALE has always been ahard worker for his party and has never received any reward or party preferment in the shape of public office. And now that his friends ‘are bringing him to the front for the office of State Senator his own party ‘should stand by him loyally. Hughesville. The girl had been told by a physi- cian to stay in bed, but packed a suit case and left before the quarantine card was put up. The trains on which she traveled have been disin- fected,but the girlisin a critical condition because of the exposure incident to the trip, which in- cluded a two mile drive. —Attorneys for the State Department of Fish- eries have been told by Commissioner N. R. Bull- er to use all proper means to expedite the trial of suits in Clinton and other counties against per- sons arrested for pollution of the West Branch of the Susquehanna and its tributaries. The post” ponement of the trial of the New York and Penna Paper company at Lock Haven has annoyed the fishery officials as it is a test case and other actions that must await the result. Over a dozen new suits are to be started snon on evi- dence collected that wastes fromr plants were killing fish up the Susquehanna. —After standing guard, gun in hand, over a treasure chest containing $1800 in gold for three weeks, John Enders, 25 years old, of Dalmatia, was overpowered by William High, a constable, and placed in jail. Enders lived with Thomas Um- berger, his grandfather. The elder man died three weeks ago. While a preacher said the funeral service Enders stood at the stairway with his shotgun and threatened to shoot the first person who would attempt to pass him. He has since refused to let anybody near. High on Sun- day put a dog to barking at the rear, and while Enders was watching it, he sneaked up behind him and easily overpowered him.
