Democratic; Walco, BY P. GRAY MEEK. INK SLINGS. —About all the wheat in Centre coun- ty is cut and much of it has already been hauled into the barns. —Mr. GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS should now be able to explain with wonderful lucidity just how the “recall” works. —At least we can feel relieved that Mr. HUERTA’S declination places him where he can no longer keep on quit quitting. —At last HUERTA has resigned the Presidency of Mexico and the way to neace in that troubled country seems clearer. —DBellefonte will send away to milita- ry camp today a troop of embryo cavalry men who will need standing room more than seats in the mess tent in their camp at Selinsgrove. —It seems that the bigger a U. S. Sen- ator imagines himself to be, the greater the amount of mileage he thinks the government ought to pay for his Sena- torial transportation. —Considering the difficulty and work the calamity howler seems to have to find something to complain about we don’t wonder that he imagines we are having “hard times.” —Anyway those malarial germs that have found a location in the anatomy of Mr. ROOSEVELT, may discover that their new home has neither ice , bergs nor an Alaska climate to cool off in. —And now, since the government has refused to provide an additional Secreta- ry of State, the question is how will poor Mr. BRYAN be able to find time to earn that extra Chautauqua salary? —Possibly if some one would send Mr. HUERTA a “self starter’ it might be of aid to President WILSON in solving some of the difficulties that meet him every time the Mexican question is taken up. —Far be it from us to even intimate that it was senseless prattle, but the length and fluency of Dr. CADMAN’S lec- ture is responsible for the thought that he, himself, is certainly one grand mod- ern babble-on. —And yet with all the suggestions of “how to get together” we haven’t heard any one propose a “take it back day” for the fellows who are now praying that those former “bi-partisans” may be in- clined to forget it all. —We do not have any evidence on tap to show that it is so, but results force the belief upon us that Mr. HUERTA'S friends secured their pointers as to “how to do it” from the statesmen who usually con- trol the elections in Philadelphia. —Why shouldn’t we all be hopeful of Democratic harmony at last. It’s now almost a week since our ruling trium- virate has read anybody out of the party or discovered any member of the “old guard” who deserves “elimination” from the organization. —Just think of it. After doing loyal service in the Navy for over one hundred and twenty-five years, here we have Mr. JoHN BARLEYCORN discharged from further duty without even a suggestion that he be placed upon the pension rolls. And still there are those who talk about the gratitude of the public. —Dr. CADMAN’s idea that a communi- ty is exactly what its citizens are is one that everyone should ponder over seri- ously. Are you doing everything you should do to make Bellefonte what you would like to have it be? This does not necessarily mean that you should be your brother's keeper. Keep yourself right is more to his point. —It is reported that three thousand Republicans paid a quarter each to hear Senator PENROSE talk forty-five minutes at Euphrata, Lancaster county, on the 4th inst., which leads us to conclude that that section of the State must be won- derfully lacking in public entertainments or woefully ignorant of what that amount of money ought to buy them in the show line. ) —The Honorable GEORGE FRED WIL- LIAMS, the original BRYANite, and at one time about the only one in New England, is no longer an American diplomat. Last week President WILSON suddenly annulled all the engagements Mr. WiL- LIAMS thought he had in the Balkans and now the Hon. FRED has time to reflect over the folly of talking too much, as well as that of thinking too loud. —The Superior court yesterday hand- ed down a decision in the Venango coun- ty license cases in which it rules that the local court has discretionary power under the Act of Assembly and may or may not grant licenses at will. This is rather at variance with the opinions of many county judges to the effect that the law means that they shall grant licenses where there are no well supported pro- tests to them. —The knowledge of conditions in Mex- ico, as indicated by the predictions made by those chosen to send out the news re- ceived from that country, by the govern- ment, seems to be about as reliable as the interpretation by a razor-backed pig would be of the hieroglyphics on the tab- let the University of Pennsylvania claims to have dug up and which is alleged to discredit the story of ADAM and EVE, as well as their connection with the green apple part of that history. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 59. BELLEFONTE, PA.. JULY 17 , 1914. NO. 28. Roosevelt’s Crime Against Civilization. The amazing story of the seizure of the Isthmus of Panama by former Presi- dent ROOSEVELT, published in the New York World, recently, reveals the charac- ter of that political buccaneer in its re- pulsive nakedness. Supported by sub- stantial documentary and oral evidence it shows not only that the then Presi- dent of the United States organized a re- bellion against a weak and helpless sis- ter Republic, but that having organized he supported it by direct bribery, subor- nation of perjury and other methods abhorrent to every impulse of honesty and decency. Such an outrage was never before perpetrated by any government professing to be guided by the principles of civilization. That the canal zone was taken from the Republic of Colombia by the govern- ment of the United States has long been believed by observant citizens, notwith- standing the statement of Colonel ROOSE- VELT to the contrary. But in this publi- cation of our New York contemporary we have the first authentic and support- ed statement of the details. It appears that as early -as October, 1903, ROOSE- VELT directed the Navy Department to “hold warships within striking distance of the Isthmus of Panama on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides,” having previ- ously had military spies operating there. Next the conspiracy was formed between WiLLiAM NELSON CROMWELL, who was interested with ROOSEVELT’S brother-in- law, in the purchase and sale of the French corporation’s franchise, and a half dozen local traitors, “direct benefici- aries,” in the enterprise. With ROOSE- VELT’S knowledge and approval these plans were consummated and on Novem- ber 4th the independence of Panama was formally declared. One of the conditions imposed upon the conspirators by ROOSEVELT was that there was to be no bloodshed attending the operation. It was not that ROOSE- VELT detests the shedding of blood, for he delights in it, but he wanted the inci- dent to wear the appearance of univer- sal acquiescence. To secure this result a comprehensive system of bribery was inaugurated and Colombian officers who had been sent to suppress the insurrec- tion, after first being shown that Ameri- | can warships and marines were present, ! able and willing, to make resistance fu- tile, were paid variously from $5000 to $50,000 each to return to Colon without firing a shot. The private soldiers got $50 apiece as recompense for obeying the treasonable orders of their perfidious officers. The money was sent in the form of a draft from J. P. MORGAN & Co., of New York, to the EHRMAN bank in Panama. There was a deficit in the amount which was made up from the treasury of the Panama railroad. This deliberate and atrocious conspiracy was perpetrated in the name of the gov- ernment of the United States under the direction and with the approval of THEO- DORE ROOSEVELT, then under sworn obli- gation to obey and enforce the written and unwritten laws of the country. It shows plainly that he is a man of crim- inal impulses, utterly destitute of moral principles and unmindful of official or le- gal obligations. To intrust such a man with power is a crime and those who support him in his ambitions to resume authority to pillage and plunder are con- tributors to the evils likely to follow. It is no exaggeration to say that supporting ROOSEVELT for President is fostering crime. Looting of the New Haven Railroad. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission of its prolonged and search- ing investigation of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, fastens the responsibility for the wreck of that great corporate property beyond question. It accuses the directors of the road with “criminal negligence,” and alleges that the managing officials deliberately and knowingly robbed the shareholders of from $65,000,000 to $90,000,000. The responsibility for this great crime in frenzied finance, is laid upon the late J. P. MORGAN, Mr. CHARLES S. MELLEN and Mr. WILLIAM ROCKERFELLER. The scheme of these financial pirates was to monopolize the transportation of New England and incidentally to loot the pub- ! lic when that was accomplished. In the process they violated every law that stood in their way and corrupted every agency of government that came within their reach. The report fitly points out the fact that much of the stolen money may be recov- ered by civil and criminal suits against the perpetrators of the crimes. MELLEN is a very rich man, the estate of J. P. MORGAN is solvent and WILLIAM RocCk- ERFELLER can juggle his voice but can’t get away from financial obligations. The dummy directors are also very able to pay and should be made to disgorge. won’t make paupers of this bunch to make them pay the full amount. The report is faulty in one respect, It | | nowever: In his testimony before the "Commission Mr. MELLEN stated that ‘when he became apprehensive that the , law’ would be invoked against his crim- "inal operations, he laid the matter before THEODORE ROOSEVELT, then President of the United States, and that servile tool of MORGAN assured him protection. The Commission ought to have expressed an official opinion as to ROOSEVELT'S share in the conspiracy. President Wilson was Surprised. President WILSON was surprised the other day, according to Washington dis- patches, when he was informed by Chair- man BROMLEY, of the Philadelphia Demo- cratic committee, of the methods em- ployed in dispensing the party patronage in Pennsylvania. The President has been taking the word of Mr. PALMER for everything, it appears, and he imagined that everything was making for party harmony and political prosperity. But when one after another of the Democrat- ic delegation in Congress for this State entered complaint he began to open his eyes and the statement of Chairman BROMLEY, supported by substantial evi- dence, of a selfish ring in control, caused surprise. Obviously Mr. PALMER is organizing disaster for the Democrats of Pennsylva- nia this year. He appears to have ab- sorbed from some source an impression that there will be a vacancy in the Cabi- net soon after the fall election and that it will afford him an opportunity to be- come Secretary of the Treasury. His election to the office of Senator in Con- gress would defeat this plan of self ag- grandizement and therefore he is direct- ing his energies toward the widening of the breach in the party rather than re- : storing harmony. His method of distrib- | uting the party favors as if the patron- , age were a personai asset, is the surest i way to prevent party victory at the com- ing election. | President WILSON ought to have taken {notice when the conspiracy of JM | BLAKESLIE to defeat the re-nomination of Representative LEE, of Schuylkill | county, was revealed prior to the prima- | ry election. But he seemed oblivious of . the perfidy and paid no attention to the | complaints of other Democrats until ‘ there was a general revolt in the Penn- sylvania delegation. For palpable rea- sons the Congressmen were less explicit than they might have been. But they were sufficiently plain in their state- ments to prepare the Presidential mind for the complaint of Chairman BROMLEY and in view of his sincere friendship for the President and his earnestness it is small wonder that he caused surprise. Calamity Howlers Change their Tune. The calamity conspirators are yielding to the inevitable. It is impossible for them to continue the fiction of industrial paralysis in the face of the multiplying evidences of prosperity. Accordingly Senator OLIVER'S Pittsburgh newspaper has sounded a new key. It admits that the signs are auspicious. It acknowledges the approach of business activity and commercial energy. The people can’t be fooled all the time. The Pittsburgh pay roll had grown to something like a million dollars a week and most of the men who draw the envelopes can read and all of them can reason. These con- ditions admonished Senator OLIVER to change his tune. Calamity howling is not effective where prosperity prevails. The UNDERWOOD tariff law has fulfilled the best expectations of its friends, in so far as it has been able to reach the evils ' it was expected to correct. It has shifted a considerable portion of the burdens of government from the shoulders of the | peor to the backs of those better able to | pay. It has released smaller enterprises | from the bondage of the greater and in | considerable measure restored competi- | tion to the commerce of the country. It | has not been able to entirely strangle the | trust evil but with the help of pending legislation and the courts that resuit ‘will be achieved in the end and a per- ceptible decrease in the cost of living will | follow as certain as fate. These are the “conditions which make calamity howling futile. | And these are the fruits of the Demo- . cratic victory of 1912, the results of read- ing Democratic policies into the adminis- tration of the government since the inau- guration of WOODROW WILSON as Presi- dent of the United States. Moreover they ought tu convert every voter in the ' country to the party responsible for the improvement and influence every State to adopt Democratic policies. Unfortu- nately in Pennsylvania the party leaders prefer to boss a minority rather than share in the leadership of a majority and will sacrifice a splendid opportunity for victory in order that they may continue to traffic in the spoils of office and trade in the patronage of the party. | | The Senatorial Situation Simplified. Our esteemed friend, the Hon. A. MITCHELL PALMER, has greatly simplified the Senatorial situation. In an interview published a few days ago Mr. PALMER eliminates Senator PENROSE and leaves the field absolutely to himself and the alien gentleman from New York or Washington, the Hon. GIFFORD PINCHOT, late member of the ROOSEVELT “tennis cabinet,” who has aspirations to wear the toga. That being the case it may safely be said that “it’s all over but the shout- ing.” Hardly anybody will vote for PIN- CHOT and as PALMER is cock sure that he will receive the entire Democratic vote and a considerable number of the votes of Republicans and Progressives, it stands to reason that he will be success- ful. Under the provisions of parliamentary practice and by virtue of the rules of the United States Senate, that body enjoys the inherent and indefeasible right of determining the “elections, returns and qualifications of its own members.” The question of the “elections, returns and qualifications” of Senators in the Sixty- fourth Congress will not be present for consideration, in the regular order of affairs until the first Monday of De- cember, 1915. But Mr. PALMER antic- ipates such trifies. The constitution of the United States, the rules of the Senate and the customs of all times are of no consequence to him. He brushes them aside as he would swipe a fly off the cranium of a bald-headed friend, and that is the end of the matter. Of course there are doubters now as there have been heretics from the begin ning and they may say that Mr. PALMER has not been invested with power to ex. ercise the prerogatives of the United States Senate some seventeen months be- fore he becomes a member of that body, But they don’t know PALMER. He doesn’t need the ordinary, conventional creden- tials. Before President WILSON was inaugurated Mr. PALMER took control of his administration and whatever has been done in Washington since has not been I by President WILSON but by the potential power behind the throne, the Hon. A. MITCHELL PALMER. He shares responsibility with no one in anything. Heis the whole cheese and the Senate must yield. ——ROOSEVELT may be obliged to run for Governor of New York in order to head off SULZER who seems inclined to take the Progressive nomination after the fashion adopted in acquiring the Panama canal zone. We predicted trou- ble for the Bull Moosers when they ad- mitted SULZER into their corral. Mr. Warburg and the Reserve Board. We have no doubt of the eminent fit- ness of Mr. PAUL M. WARBURG, of New York, for the office for which he was named by the President. A member of the banking firm of KUHN, LOEB & Com- pany he is a trained financier, an exper- ienced banker and an expert business man. These are essential qualifications for membership of the federal reserve board. The other gentlemen named by the President to compose that board are splendidly equipped. Presumably the ex-officio members, the Secretary of the Treasury and comptroller of the currency are equally well qualified for the service. They were chosen for the offices they hold because of ability along those lines, combined with character and courage. But we can’t see why Mr. WARBURG should take offence because the finance committee of the Senate asked him to appear before it and answer certain, pre- sumably relevant, questions. The Senate committee had both legal and moral right to lay down such conditions and the other nominees for the office gracefully complied with the rule. Mr. WARBURG is probably very much richer than either of the others but in this glorious country wealth doesn’t absolve a man from the political and civic obligations which are imposed upon all officials. All office- holders look alike to the law and no man is, or ought to be, treated differently from his associates in the public life of the country. The firm of which Mr. WARBURG is a member has participated in a great many financial operations of vast proportions within the last quarter of a century and a good many of the big businesses in its line have left unpleasant memories on the public mind. It has not been said that Mr. WARBURG or his firm has been concerned in any questionable trans- actions. But there was no real harm in giving him an opportunity to show “a clean bill of health,” and that was about what his summons to appear before the Senate committee amounted to. In view of these obvious facts we sincerely hope that Mr. WARBURG will get over his miff, withdraw his declination and become a member of the board. A ISP . built up largely on privilege—tariff and The New Day in this Country. From the Indianapolis News. The days of plutocracy were beautiful —for the plutocrats. But they have passed. The people have got their hands to the plow, and they are going to drive the furrow through. They propose to make it possible for a man to do business in this country without license from a trust; they have already broken the hold of the big banks on the little ones. There are many who do not even yet realize how vast is the work of recon- struction. A great—and in some re- spects a wonderful—system had been railroads purchased favors from the gov- ernment. A few men, with a direct and selfish interest in the matter, decided what our taxes should be. It was a veri- table fuedal system, based not on birth, but on wealth and usurped power. It is against this system that the na- tional administration, backed by the peo- ple, has arrayed itself. We are seeking some measure of Democracy in trade and commerce as we have it in politics. We have today—and may we continue to have—a government that is, at least, stronger than the steel trust. And‘ with it we shall have a more widely diffused prosperity and a greater command of the good things of life than we have ever had. The people have resolved that this country shall be what it was meant to be —the country of the average man. What. ever suffering there is, is due to the fact that the evils were allowed to grow to such enormous proportions as to make their eradication extraordinarily difficult. The blame must rest, not on those who are now trying to right the wrongs, but on those who sat still and allowed them to reach their present proportion. Wilson’s Personality. From the Boston Advertiser. President Wilson exercises more power than any other man who has been in the executive chairsince Lincoln. Congress- men decry his “tyranny” in vain, for, un- like Roosevelt, he does not exercise any authority not delegated to him in the constitution. Nor is his advice universally followed because men respect his judg- ment: By the subtle, insensible influence of his sincerity and singleness of purpose he rules the Democratic majority. His commanding personality dominates a party, strangely lacking in commanding personalities, and forces the members to tasks for which they have no stomach. | The practicing politicians among the | Democrats want to go home and fix fences. They think they have p:issed enough laws to make a record on @ich to ask for another term. They desiie to let conditions down, so that the big crops of the west can bring prosperity for them to claim as their handiwork. They want to get out of Washington so that the House will not be forced to put itself on record by a vote on the prohibition amendment. But the one dominant per- sonage of their party keeps them there. T. R. and Prosperity. From the Philadelphia Record. If Theodore Roosevelt had any sense of humor it would have restrained him from making an unrivaled exhibition of genial impudence in attacking the ad- ministration for “pursuing a course that prevents the existence of prosperity and that does not offer a single serious or in- telligent plan for passing prosperity around, should prosperity, in spite of the administration’s efforts, at some future time, return to our people.” Would any- body suppose that a man whose occupancy of the Presidency was chiefly signalized by the panic of October, 1907, and the, ensuing depression, from which the coun- try was only emerging when his suc- cessor’s successor was installed in office, would venture to make any allusion to | the present state of trade, which is a} veritable boom compared with what the | country suffered for nearly two years under Mr. Roosevelt? One would suppose that the man who was President of the United States from October, 1907, to March, 1909, would re- frain from the remotest allusion to the relations of a President to prosperity. A Modest Claimer. From the Cambria Freeman. The Democrats ask no credit for the immense crops that are being harvested in the west. Neither will they accept the blame for the poor business judgment of those who attempt to grapple all the good things and who come out of the fray financial wrecks. : A Penrose paper can see thingsin a man’s business that he himself had never dreamed of. They tell you the Claflin failure was the product of recent tariff legislation while Claflin and his side kicker Gimbel never knew that the tariff had affected them in any way. Had they subscribed for a Penrose paper the wreck might possibly have been avoided. Like the Trouble Lincoln Had. From Washington Letter to the Boston Adver- : tiser. The Wilson administration is again re- peating history from 1860. Wilson's ex-. periences are wonderfully like Lincoln’s. Like Lincoln, Wilson came into the Pres- idency as the leader of a minority party, his election being largely due to the split. in the dominant party. Lincoln’s first administration met with ferocious criti- cism, and there were grave doubts if he could be re-nominated by Republicans and re-elected, and Republicans even planned to beat him. But better times came, and Lincoln was overwhelmingly re-elected. x Be as Useless as Woody's Cabinet. From the Boston Transcript, Why all this fuss about filling the Fed- eral Reserve Board when everybody knows mighty well that John Skelton Williams isn’t going to need anybody to help him run it?

The store is opposite the Clinton hotel and the constable lives the sec- ond door below, while the proprietor and his wife have apartments over and adjoining the store room. —Mrs. Lulu Hopkins, aged thirty-two years, who disappeared from the home of her mother, Mrs. James Miller, on a farm near the head- waters of Little Pine creek in the northern part of Lycoming county, was found after a search of over twenty-four hours. Her husband and her sister are patients at the Danville state hospital for the insane. —His hat taken for a groundhog as he was picking raspberries along a stone wall near his home in Rockland township, near Reading, Wil- liam Yoder was shot bya neighbor who was gun- ning for woodchucks. Benjamin Houck says he thought the hat was a groundhog and sent a load of shot in its direction. The charge entered Yoder’s scalp. He may recover. —The tents and shacks occupied by the colony of negroes near Seward, We tmoreland county, have been razed and the negroes who had assem- bled there scattered to the four points of the compass. This is the result of the action of the state police who werecalled to Seward after the murder of Thursday night, when Thomas Ealy shot and killed Eugene Weathers. —The trustees of the Susquehanna University have received from the administrator of the es- tate of the late General J. P. S. Gobin, at Leb- anon, the sum of $2,000, which had been be- queathed the University.

Frightened, she ran the whole distance back home, where her mother had missed her and was making a search. She collapsed from fright and exhaustion and is under a doctor’s care. —One of the most remarkable accidentsin the history of the Pennsylvania railroad occurred at Sanderson's station five miles west of Lewis- town Junction Monday when a fast passenger train eastbound, and a freight train west bound, struck a heavy traction engine crossing the tracks, demolished the traction engine and wrecking both trains, delaying traffic almost two hours, but miraculously injuring no one. —A little six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Balko, of Munson, met with a fatal scalding accident last Thursday morning about 9 o'clock. The child had her little baby sister in her arms and fell backward into a tub of water just taken from the stove, with the result that she was horribly scalded. The little sufferer was conveved to the Cottage State hospital, Philips- burg, where death ensued at 9 o’clock the same evening. —In order to avoid subscribing for stock in the regional reserve bank, under the new currency system, in excess of its own capital stock, the First National Bank of Uniontown last week de- clared a dividend of 700 per cent. The capital of the bank is $100,000, and its surplus before the dividend was $1,650,000. Under the law national banks are compelled to invest 6 per cent of their capital or surplus in regional reserve bank se- curities. —Putting into execution a threat he had made many times, Amel Oberly, of Palmyra, Pa, threw himself in front of a fast freight train near the Palmyra station on the Reading railroad, and was ground to pieces.
