BY P. GRAY MEEK. . I ————————————— INK SLINGS. —Next week, the Fair. —Only seventy-nine more days until Thanksgiving is here. The turkey should worry. —Germany is taking on all comers and not even asking for a percentage from the movies. —If we behave right we will be every Nation’s very dearest friend after the war is over. They'll all be bringing grist to our mill. ——1It may not be out of place to re- mark that Russia is cutting a small fig- ure on the firing line considering the size of its army. —Germany has pushed the battle ground clear through Belgium and right up to the French frontier. It is now do or die for France. J ——Of course Japan will get into the scrimmage in some way. Those who hunt trouble usually find it and some- times it’s a deluge. ——So far as our voice goes in the matter there will be no war in Europe or elsewhere until RICHARD HARDING Davis declares the fact from the firing line. ——Austria is mobilizing troops along the Italian frontier, according to news dispatches and that calls to mind the fact that there is no war going on in Italy. —Maybe if the Hon. JIM BLAKESLIE went over to The Hague and lit a cigarette and gave another imitation of a man thinking a minute he might be able to quiet all this foreign fuss. ——1If the Jews in Russia and Poland are as wise as those in this country they will require the Czar to sign his pledge to give them political rights in return for military service. And it might be a good idea to ask for an endorser. —German soldiers have written on the walls of the city of Brussels the follow- ing significant words: “WiLLiAM II, Emperor of Europe.” Doubtless he has the ambition, but the future alone will reveal whether he has the power. —Because Europeans are going to war may be the cause of some Americans going to jail. We mean those fellows who are taking advantage of the situation .abroad to raise the price of food-stuffs here, the supply of which could not pos- sibly be affected by the war. —Next week the mobilization of the school -bag brigade will begin in America. In an hour’s time millions of them will respond to the call to study. God bless their young souls! May the things they learn equip them for peaceful pursuits and may they never be called to mobilize as targets for an enemy’s guns. —Anyway American summer resorts ought not to be losing money on account of the foreign war. Thousands of rich ones are paying for ten cent sugar and forty cent meat right here in their own coun- try today merely because it isn’t quite | safe to be abroad. And if the war be a | long drawn out one they will be here | next summer too. —Right now if some one were to start an agitation for international prohibition of the manufacture of warships, cannons and all other instruments of warfare do you think it would have any followers? Look at it in all its terrible phases and you will probably come to the conclusion that ! while talking prohibition it would be well to include war with booze. —Are the fly swatters responsible for the fact that there have been fewer flies in this vicinity this season than ever before or has it been due to other causes. Cer- tain it is that housewives, these days, are taking every precaution to exterminate the fly and it has been a matter of curi- ous interest to us to determine just what effect the general campaign with the swatter and screen is having. —Reports from the seat of war in Europe lead to the conclusion that the Germans are gradually pushing the allied forces of England, France and Belgium back toward Paris. If the German arms can maintain the terrific strain upon them and continue on the offensive France will become the battle ground of a titanic struggle when the last stand is made to keep Paris from falling once more into the hands of the Kaiser. —Having failed in his very earnest efforts to get the leaders of our party in Peunsylvania to sit tight and not rock the boat, Col. HAYES GRIER, of the Columbia Independent, is now giving the same advice to all good Americans. His counsel is well worth heeding: The waves from the great battleship “Eu- rope” are running high and the least false move might ‘upset us into the fight- ing sea; therefor, “Sit tight, don’t rock the boat.” —It cost France $21,000 for every Ger- man soldier she killed in the war of 1870. It cost Russia $20,400 for every Jap she killed in the war of 1905. Those who agitate war are usually the cold blooded creatures who don’t ex- pect to have to go to the front them- selves and who measure everything in dollars and cents. They are the fellows who sneered at President WILSON’S “watchful waiting” policy in Mexico. Let them now look at the above figures, take their pencils and figure out our probable saving through “watchful wait- ing.” VOL. 59. President Wilson’s Wholesome Advice. The timely and appropriate message | Party Managers Working for Fusion. i BELLEFONTE, PA. AUGUST 28, 1914. Need of American Shipping. The movement toward fusion of the Now that an important step has been which President WILSON addressed to the Democrats and Bull Moosers on the State | taken in a movement for the restoration American people, the other day, urging | ticket in Pennsylvania continues to oc- | of our merchant marine the Democratic the true spirit of neutrality, can have no other than a beneficent effect. “The ef- fect of the war upon the United States,” he writes, “will depend upon what Amer- ican citizens say and do.” In other words by indulgence in passionate par- tisanship in behalf of one competitor or the other, prejudices may be aroused which will endure after the issue has been determined and work evils which will fester through generations to come and on both sides of the water. The citizenship of the Republic has been drawn from all countries and each of the contending unitsin the great strug- gle in progress has contributed a share in the development of our rescources and the glory of our achievements. Naturally there is a profound feeling of sympathy for the land of their nativity in the breasts of the millions who compose our naturalized citizens and their sons and daughters but there is no reason why there should be dissensions among them that may be avoided. The message of President WILSON points out the way to avert such sources of trouble. As the President said in another ad- dress we are all Americans and there is no occasion for hyphenating the title. German--Americans, Irish--Americans, Russian-Americans are alike Americans if they are imbued with the spirit of liberty and believe in fair play among men. That being true it is our duty to preserve toward all the combatants a spirit of justice and fairness. The Ger- mans are as sincere in their belief in the righteousness of their cause as the French are earnest in faith in the just- ness of their contention. It is our patriotic duty, therefore, to be fair to all. Moreover nobody knows what will be the outcome of the conflict, and it is im- possible to estimate the consequences of resentments which may be planted by in- discreet and untimely expressions of par- tisanship in behalf of one side or the other. quences may be ayoided by restraining the impulse to indulge in partisanship and the President is wise in" sounding . We will think the note of admonition. better of ourselves and of each other, : when all is over if we follow his advice. ——Of course Mr. D. CLARENCE GiB- BONEY, of Philadelphia, felt called upon to advise the President. It may be assumed, therefore, that Mr. GIBBONEY'S master, Senator MCNICHOL, is also dissatisfied with the policies of Mr. WILSON. No Reprisals in Mexico. If current reports concerning General VILLA’S plans and purposes are anything like accurate, that more or less reformed Mexican bandit is “riding for a fall.” With reasonably just and intelligent management the government of Mexico may be made enduring and beneficent. But if those in authority enter upon a campaign of reprisals and undertake to “get even” with everybody at home and abroad, who has not accepted them at their own valuation, as Mr. VILLA is said to contemplate, their tenure in control will be as brief as it will be infamous. Governments are not agencies of ven- geance and they are not organized to work personal revenge. General CARRANZA entered upon the duties of provisional President of Mexico the other day under the most hopeful auspices. He was cordially welcomed to the city by all the people with demonstra- tions of confidence and affection and his response was equally inspiring. He said substantially that his aim will be to give the people of Mexico a just and beneficent government. In so fast as that promise is fulfilled the result will be satisfactory. The people there are tired of war and the desolation and suffering which at- tends war. What they need and want is peace and the prosperity which is the fruit of peace. They want the opportunity to create wealth and enjoy comfort. General VILLA, if his. biographers are truthful, hasn’t much idea of the value of thrift and industry. Whatever he has wanted in the past he has taken by force if he had strength enough and left his victims to estimate their losses. That system of acquiring will not doin the future and one man must yield to the changed conditions as well as another. If this policy is put into operation prompt- ly and pursued constantly, there will be little further trouble in Mexico. The wealth is there to be gathered but it must be taken properly. There are legal processes to punish crimes of the past and prevent them in the future. But there can be no campaign of reprisals. ——Anyway the Kaiser doesn’t pro- pose to keep his own family out of the danger zone. He and his three sons are on the firing line. But it is certain that evil conse- {cupy the attention of the party man- agers, who, according to an esteem- ed Philadelphia contemporary, “ex. press confidence that a mutual ar- rangement will be made before the campaign is many weeks older.” No conference has been held yet, for the reason, as the same dependable authority states,” that “it is considered good poli- tics, for the present, to let the movement toward fusion develop as though in re- ! sponse to a demand of the voters rather than to give the arrangement the bald appearance of a deal between the lead- ers.” The plan is to have Mr. DRAPER LEWIS withdraw from the Washington party ticket as the candidate for Governor, sub- stitute Mr. VANCE C. McCORMICK in his place; Mr. CREASY to withdraw from the , Democratic ticket as candidate for Lieu- tenant Governor and put Mr. LEWIS in his place. This might strengthen the Washington party ticket considerably for Mr. LEW1s has no claim upon the public but it would weaken the Democratic ticket in the same ratio. Moreover it would relieve the Washington party lead- ers from considerable of the financial burdens of the campaign. Mr. McCOR- , MICK would contribute, out of his vast fortune, with equal liberality to both party organizations. But the Democratic candidates for Congress, State Senate, the Legislature and local offices would suffer in the pro- portion of Mr. MCCORMICK’S contribution to the Bull Moose campaign fund. Every doilar of money contributed by Mr. Mec- CORMICK to the Washington party treas- ury would be used against Democratic candidates for all the other offices. Prob- ably this wouldn’t make much difference to Mr. McCorMmICK for he has never taken much interest in the election of Democratic candidates except when he was on the ticket. But it will make con- siderable difference to the gentlemen . who suffer defeat, because while they are working for ‘MCCORMICK, his money is “working against them. ——The British government may be giving Belgium splendid moral support but thus far we have been unable to dis- cover any evidence that his British Ma- jesty’s soldiers are stopping German bul- lets. | Death of Pope Pius X. | The justice and amiability of Pope Prus 'X has made his death less a calamity | | than it would have been otherwise. His "elevation to the Pontifical throne was the result of the refusal of the Emperor of Austria to assent to the selection of an- other and during his tenure he revoked that law of the church which gave secu- lar sovereigns that power. The selection of his successor, therefore, will be an ec- clesiastical matter entirely and presum- ably will be determined upon merit. Pos- sibly the church and the world gained by the interposition of the venerable Aus- trian monarch, for GIUSEPPE SARTO was as free from selfish ambitions as he was earnest in the cause of rightéousness. Pope Pius X was of humble birth and through his entire life his deep sympa- thies for the people were revealed. He was not an illustrious scholar as some of his predecessors were but he was a stu- dent of life and nature and he had in- inclination and zeal in the work of the church and humanity. He lacked diplo- matic finesse, probably, and failed in the manipulation of what might be called “church politics.” But he was not want- ing in the zeal and enthusiasm which guided his people in the faith of their fathers. He quarreled with Kings and potentates but gathered the lowly into his confidence, ministered to their wants and contributed to their comforts, spirit- ual and physical. The Pope was an old mar and in the nature of things could not have long en- dured the burdens of his office. But his death was hastened, no doubt, by recent events in Europe. Nearly all the com- batants in the war now in progress were of his faith and children of his church and the sorrow incident to this great con- flict of brothers became a burden greater than he could bear. His successor will be chosen by the College of Cardinals which will be assembled at Rome in the | near future and in which the United States will have greater influence than ever before because there are four American Cardinals now while when he was chosen there was but one. Let us hope that his successor will be as worthy. ——The French artillery may be the best in the world, as the war experts declare, but it didn’t prevent the German army from marchigg through Belgium from Liege to Brussels. majority in Congress should address itself i to a completion of the work. So long as the ‘ European war continues and competition | is paralyzed our ships will get the busi- ' ness and charge enough to make it profit- able. But when the war ends the strife for business will begin and it will be so sharp and eager enough to suggest the i “survival of the fittest.” Under such circumstances the several other faults in our maritime legislation and regulation “loom large,” and cry loudly for correc- tion. We have begun right but should not stop until the work is complete. . Great Britain boasts a mastership of the several seas and it is from that source we may expect the most stubborn competition when the courses of com- merce are opened up. British ships are i taxed on profits while-ours are taxed on the investment. That makes a vast dif- ference in the cost of maintenance of a fleet. First class “liners” cost from three to five million dollars each and even with a low rate of taxation the levy on a fleet of twenty to fifty ships amounts to a con siderable sum. If.they are freighted to the limit of capacity the business would be profitable nevertheless. But liners are not always so fortunate and the tax burden becomes an important matter. Another source of discrimination against our ships and in favor of British bottoms is in the fact that American ships pay consular fees every time they enter a foreign port while British ships pay only once a year. This isa matter of regulation, of course, but it works a hardship upon American ship owners which ought to be overcome. There are plenty of ways for remedying these evils close of the foreign war opens the com- petitive contest. Our ship owners will have trouble enough to obtain and retain a share of the business even on an even footing and with such handicaps as now confront them they must lose. . ——George Fatallic, a foreigner, was nocked down and run over by a Ford automobile driven by John N. White, of Axe Mann, on Saturday evening, on the Water street crossing at the corner of the Bush Arcade. Fatallic was standing with a number of other foreigners on the corner of the bridge. White came down High street and just as he turned the corner to go out Water street Fatallic stepped into the street to cross to the shoe shining parlor. White could not stop his car and Fatallic was struck and knocked down and the car ran over his breast. He was knocked unconscious and pretty badly cut and bruised but no bones were broken, nor were his injuries very serious. He was taken to a doctor and fixed up and was then able to make his way home. The steering gear on White’s machine was knocked out of place and had to be fixed before he could continue his journey home. ——Deer must be quite plentiful on the Allegheny mountains, or else know that they are out of season now, as re- ports are in effect that during the past few weeks they have been coming down off of the mountain and pasturing in the fields in the neighborhood of Julian and Martha. In fact a certain Bellefonter who attended the Williams reunion last Saturday stated that at supper time a big buck came down off the mountain and licked salt out of a pan that had been left standing in the rear of a tent. Of course the Bellefonter didn’t see the buck, he was only told so by a young man who wouldn’t prevaricate. ——The Bellefonte Academy house on the corner of Bishop and Spring streets is being refitted as training quarters for the foot ball team. Two new shower baths will be installed and other changes made to make the place as comfortable and convenient as possible for the men i who will represent the Academy on the i gridiron this fall. The present outlook is for a strong football team as plenty of good material will be om hand for the first try-out. Many new students have signified their intention of entering the Academy this year, and the attendance will in all probability be larger than last | year. | ——While at work on one of the pen- carpenter Elias Breon, of Axe Mann, | slipped and fell from a beam thirty-five | feet from ‘the ground. He fall on his right side across another beam four feet | below and managed to cling there until | fellow. workmen helped him down. Had | he fallen to the ground he would proba- bly Have sustained fatal injuries. As it _ was one or two ribs were fractured and he has been laid up ever since, though his condition is not regarded as serious. and they should be remedied before the | itentiary buildings on Monday morning, | : Foodstuffs in Storage. From the Harrisburg Star-Independent. Some interesting figures on the foods contained in the cold storage warehouses in Pennsylvania on July 1st, last, are given in the reports made to the Pure Food Division of the State Agricultural Department, and it is intimated by Com- missioner Foust that since the quarterly reports were made there has been an in- crease even over those figures. On April 1st there were in cold storage in this State 111,568 dozens of eggs and this total by July 1st had leaped to the enormous number of 14,638,816 dozens. In April there were 952,645 pounds of butter in cold storage in Pennsylvania, and this had jumped to 5,070,923 pounds by July 1st. In one particular item—that of meat—the supply in cold storage di- minished in the three months, but there I still were close to 2,000,000 pounds of various kinds of meats stored away on July 1st. | Speculators appear to be waiting for a _ greater rise in food prices that they feel they may be reasonably sure to take ad- ‘vantage of. More than 500,000 pounds "of beef and a million pounds of pork, laid away for a rise, mean that food ' gamblers and speculators are going to do some hard work to advance prices in order to get all they can squeeze out of | the public. There is no State law in Pennsylvania to prevent gambling in foods except the law that provides that certain kinds can- not be kept in cold storage beyond a cer- tain time, but that law is easily evaded by the food speculators removing their commodities from a Pennsylvania cold storage warehouse to some warehouse lin a near State, letting it remain a brief . period and then shippingit back to Penn- sylvania as new stuff. Detection of this kind of fraud is almost impossible, and it goes on right under the noses of the authorities, they being powerless to get at the perpetrators. Commissioner Foust’s figures furnish in- , teresting reading to those who wonder why we have high food prices. Beef from the South. From the New York Mail. i If nature, in a generous mood, were to offer to America a land of 264,000,000 acres, in which cattle could be pastured ‘from early March to late November, Uncle Sam would probably throw up his hat with joy, finding the beef problem ' solved. | Yet America has such a region, with less than a third of its area in improved ‘farm land, with a population varying from 14 to 57 to the square .mile, with room to raise enough beef to supply the entire United States. . ‘This is the gist of an informing dis- patch from Baltimore setting forth the pos.ibility of the nine southeastern States offsetting the decrease in beef production in the west. I Cattle breeding has proven successful in these States, with their climate highly , favorable. Room there is without crowd- .ing industry or population. Access to the great markets of the congested north- eastern States, and to foreign markets, is better than in the case of the western producers. Atlanta, Ga., is 500 miles nearer New York than is Omaha, and cattle and beef can be shipped from the south by water as well as by rail. i Why, after all, should we be looking so hungrily to Argentina, overlooking the while the nearer possibilities of the great south, which has only begun to develop? | n— ! Modern Artillery’s Great Scope. From the Springfield Republican. What makes the battle now in progress such a tremendous affair is, perhaps, not so much the unparalleled numbers of men aligned, a number perhaps amount- ing to 2,000,000, as the fact that for the first time the titanic power of modern artillery will have full scope. At Mukden neither side was as strong in this arm as «in infantry, yet there were 3000 guns in the field. The total on the 250-mile-long battle line from Belgium to Alsace must be several times that, perhaps 10,000 or more, and Germany, France and Belgium have all made a specialty of field artil- lery,which in recent years has come back to almost the importance which it held in Napoleon’s campaigns. The guns are no longer brought up late; they go at the head of the marching columns, and are pushed to the very front with the cavalry and the quick-marching skirmish line. | Machine guns have their use, but the | pride of the modern army is the deadly quick-firing artillery, with an armored - shield, from behind which a destructive fire of shrapnel is poured. Ever since ! the Balkan war there has been an intense jealously between French and German i military men as to the untested merits of the artillery of the two countries, and ‘ this rivalry contributed not a little to the bitterness leading up to the war. A Fair Inference. From the Erie Dispatch. The mere facts of the case would in- dicate that Russia was not determined to bring on this war, as the Kaiser claims. The outbreak of actual war found Russia utterly unprepared and Germany ready at the drop of the hat. In spite of rumors to the contrary it is possible that Russian mobilization is not yet complete. If it is the thing has been accomplished more rapidly than was thought possible. In fact, judging by present appearances, the only nation that was fully prepared and ready to strike at once was Germany. There are other circumstances that lead to the suspicion that Germany was the “efficient factor” in bringing on the war. There is the story of the German count whose Belgian castle was situated pre- cisely along the line of the present Ger- man campaign and who, at the advice of the Kaiser, evacuated it weeks ago. This is only a story and not authentic, but has been sufficiently repeated to be repro- duced here. ——— SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE. —A charter has been granted to the Mononga- hela Southern Traction company, with a capital of $108,000, to construct a line from California to Brownsville. —A little Lock Haven tot, Ruth Grotzinger, died as the result of drinking a bottle of essence of wintergreen, which she had reached from the mantle piece. —A colored porter, leaning too far out of the door of a sleeping car on the Buffalo flier, pass- ing Queens Run, near Lock Haven, lost his bal- ance and was dashed to death. —The farmers in Lancaster county are having some trouble in disposing of their fruit.

The girl was not bitten. —Fifty-four persons have been taken into cus- tody for participation in a riot of striking miners at Portage last Saturday, during which three men were shot.

Passengers were much frightened and traffic was delayed more than an hour. Railroaders say that if the roller had gone two inches further there would have been a serious accident. —Howard Hyle, a street car conductor, has en- tered a trespass suit in the Blair county court against Earl Ott to recover damages to the amount of $1,000. The plaintiff's statement sets forth that the defendant caused to be inserted in a newspaper an item headed, ‘‘Treating His Friends to Cigars,” and which stated that the plaintiff was doing this on account of the arrival of a baby at his home, whereas he claims that he is an unmarried man and that the joke played upon him is detrimental to him and he has suffer- ed damage to the above amount. —Because George W.

Bowen, the 19 year old son of Chief of Police Isaac Bowen. Young Bowen was bathing in the river at the end of the bridge with a large party of boys and girls. He was a good swimmer and when he dove to the bottom no attention was paid to him and it was not noticed that he did not come up. Alfred Young, the colored chef at the Pickering hotel, saw the body lying on the bottom in about four feet of water and when he discovered it did not move he called to the bathers and Frank Fitz- gerald dove to the bottom, secured the body and carried it to shore. Drs. Shuman, Mench and Fuller were called and worked over the young man for half an hour, but they failed to revive him. Stephen graduated from High school last spring and at the time of his death was prepar- ing to further his education at college. He was the last of three children, all of whom have died at the age of 19 years.
