BY P. GRAY MEEK. RA ESET INK SLINGS. ——The war has completely settled one important question. It is that no European press censor could hold a job on a modern newspaper for a single week. : ——The “Coinel’s” latest complaint against the old parties is that they are “fossilized.” Well, nobody can say that of the “Coinel.” He is more inclined to putridity. ——The war has been going on two full months and has come up to popular expectation in nothing except the ex- penses. It may also be safely said that it has cost more than it has come to. —The Old Dominion. has gone clear dry. Last week Virginia deserted local option and voted for state-wide prohibi- tion of alcoholic beverages. Slowly but surely the wave is rolling over the coun- try. —A. MircHELL PALMER would be a credit to Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. He would be heard from in the open and would not be known, as PENROSE is, as the ‘‘underground” work- er and notorious absentee. "—A. MitcHELL PALMER has been a very useful man to President WILSON in the lower house of Congress. He has earned a promotion and could continue his usefulness to our great President if you were to vote to send him to the up- per house. —The ballot we will be givento record our choice on in November will be twen- ty by twenty-six inches in size. It is to be a big election in Pennsylvania and big things will be accomplished with this big ballot if the majority of the voters make a cross in the square opposite the first party name that will be presented on it. —Why should PENROSE be kept in the United States Senate continuously? He has never distinguished himself as a rep- resentative of Pennsylvania nor is he the embodiment of half that could be desir- ed in a Senator in Congress. Let us vote for a clean, brilliant man, a man who will bring honor rather than political in- trigue to the State. Let us vote for A. MITCHELL PALMER. . Senator PATTERSON has been looking after his Centre county constituency dur- ing the past week. The Senator has been getting into personal touch with all classes of people so that he will be the better able to represent them when he goes to Harrisburg next January. You say, he hasn't been elected yet! Ah, but he has. There is nothing to do now but cast and count the votes on Novem- BOE 30, ii aie —While Dr. BRUMBAUGH is a perfectly honorable, conscientious man so were SAMUEL PENNYPACKER and WILLIAM S. STUART. The Machine dominated the departments at Harrisburg when they were in the gubernatorial chair and it will do the same if Dr. BRUMBAUGH is elected. His is the policy of let-well- enough alone, but Pennsylvania has suf- fered enough, already, from that policy to warrant it in wanting a change. — A vote for PATTERSON for Senator will be a vote for a man whom you can trust implicitly to do the right thing whenever the opportunity presents. When he goes to Harrisburg every voter in the District will have an honest, con- scientious personal representative in the legislative halls of the State. You’ll hear no gossip of Senator PATTERSON tempor- izing with anything that is not for the best interests of the people whom he represents. He never was that kind of a man and he never will be. Besides, his training as a lawyer will be very useful in helping him to scotch the snakes that the Machine element invariably tries to conceal in harmless looking bills that ar presented for consideration. 3 —WIiLLIAM E. ToBIAS, our candidate for Congress is clean as a hound’s tooth. Young, with the courage of his convic- tions, and just having finished nine high- ly successful years as superintendent of the schools of Clearfield county, who can say that he is not well equipped to rep- resent this District in Congress. He has touched elbows with every phase of life in Clearfield county and Clearfield’s needs ate just the same as Centre’s needs, or McKean’s needs or Cameron’s needs. And Mr. ToBIAS knows them. He has no other interest to serve than that of the individual.- He is not connected with any big corporations, he is not entangled with any political machine. He is just the man to send to Congress. —With agriculture as our greatest in- dustry it is only natural that the farmers of Centre county should want a farmer to represent them in the Legislature. That is one of the reasons that they are taking so kindly to the candidacy of Da- vID MILLER. He is just the type of man to represent the common people. A plain spoken, honest, sturdy, well inform. ed country gentleman who knows what work is because he has been a worker himself. = And knows what the common people need because he is one of them. On the other hand, Mr. ScoTT, his oppo- nent, is a rich coal operator. A man mixed up with big corporations all his life, a man hand-in-glove with “big busi- ness.” And not the kind of a man that the farmers and working people’ of Cen- tre county want to represent ‘them when it comes to making laws. oy —— STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 59. BELLEFONTE, PA.. OCTOBER 2, 1914. NO. 39. Hopeful Sign of Confidence. | The positive announcement that nei- ther of the Democratic candidates on the State ticket will withdraw in order to | create a fusion ticket is an encouraging sign of confidence and political integrity. “Traffic in party nominations is flagrant immorality. There were several aspi- rants for the Washington party nomina- tion for Governor, either one of whom would have been preferred by the voters of that party to VANCE C. MCCORMICK. Yet by the manipulation of a few so-call- ed leaders of the parties Mr. MCCORMICK has become their candidate. No doubt the Bull Moose managers hoped to elimi- nate A. MITCHELL PALMER by similar processes but he refuses to be so used and Woobprow WILSON’s traducer, GIF- FORD PINCHOT, will not be the Demo- cratic candidate for Senator in Con- gress. It is said that fusion will be effected in some of the Congress districts by with- drawing Democratic candidates and sub- stituting Washington party candidates, but we hardly think that is possible. Con- gressmen have to do with National poli- cies and lustful as some politicians are for office, it is inconceivable that they would ask Democratic voters to send to Washington Representatives in Congress who would oppose the policies of Presi- dent WILSON. That would be political suicide. No political organization could survive such treachery. No party that could even encourage such perfidy would deserve to survive the defeat which would inevitably follow. A party organ- ization which has no object or purpose except to provide offices for its leaders is putrid. Honestly managed the pending cam- paign in this State would have resulted in the triumphant election of every can- didate on the ticket. The Republican party was hopelessly divided and the factions so evenly balanced that a Demo- cratic plurality was certain. But the party organization directed its energies to the task of splitting the Democratic party asunder and trading patronage for favors for ' those in control. Not- withstanding this criminal stupidity, however, there is yet a chance of elect- "ing some of oir candidates. Intelligent management may still rescue the party. But that result cannot be achieved by traffic in candidates and the sacrifice of principle in order to satisfy the lust for power that is consuming some of our stupid party managers. ——We have been able to see nothing ' in the war thus far to make people not | already involved anxious to get in, { Theodore Roosevelt’s Fondest Hope. An esteemed contemporary admon- | ishes Democrats of Pennsylvania against | “laying the flattering unction to their | souls” that because of the diminishing | proportions of the Bull Moose vote THEODORE ROOSEVELT has given up the idea of ‘wrecking the Democratic party. | Next to his ambition to be again elected to the Presidency, that is the dearest im- | pulse of his heart. He hates WOODROW | WILSON because that illustrious Demo- | crat was elected in 1912 and he despises the Democratic party because it present- | ed Mr. WILSON with a first cup of coffee when Colonel ROOSEVELT was anxious for a third. ROOSEVELT cannot endure opposition and he neither forgets nor for- | gives any one who interferes with his | ambitions. Yi | THEODORE ROOSEVELT ‘more than any | man who has ever occupied a place in ! the public life of this country embodies opposition to ‘fundamental * Democratic | principles. In the contention between ' ALEXANDER HAMILTON and THOMAS JeF- | FERSON, when our government was being | formed, Mr. HAMILTON expressed, in! ' demands for reasonable credits.” : was calculated to “hold them for atime,” 4 t& themiin time... but it wasn't all. "The Secretary added : The Blow that Proved Fatal. Secretary of the Treasury MCADOO has again been obliged to notify the corpse of the Money trust that it is dead and he has performed that service in no uncertain manner. Having authorized the issue to certain New York banks of the enormous total of $140,000,000 of “new or additional bank currency,” he was surprised to learn that the banks so favored were exacting usurous interest from their customers. The issue of new currency was for the purpose of avoiding such burdens upon business. Therefore the Secretary has given notice that banks practicing usury in that way will be giv- en no more currency. In other words he has officially declared that the Money trust is dead and like other dead things it must stay dead. During the administration of THEODORE ROOSEVELT the Money trust was creat- ed with his sanction and under his pat- ronage. J. PIERPONT MORGAN was his friend and whatever that manipulator of banks and corporations wanted, he got. The thing he wanted above all else was absolute power of control over the cur- rency of the country. TAFT amiably per- mitted this slavery of business to contin- ue during his administration. But the advent of the WoobrROW WILSON admin- istration sounded its death knell. For a short time the trust yielded to the man- date of the law but finally concluded that it could clandestinely “put one over” on the administration. It got all the cur- rency it could and then quietly raised the rates of interest and imagined it was alive again. One of the many merits of the WILSON administration is that it is as vigilant as it is honest and earnest. In the course of business correspondence with bankers in the sections less favored than New York the Secretary learned of the game which the New York bankers were play- ing and he got busy. He promptly wrote to the offenders that he will not “know- ingly issue additional bank currency to or deposit government funds with banks which charge excessive rates of interest or which are refusing to meet legitimate That that he would “withdraw government de- posits from National banks which are hoarding and restricting credits to the maintenance of excessive reserves.” And that was the “blow that killed father.” ——We sympathize with the cotton planters who are unable to dispose of their crop at profitable prices. We like- wise feel sorry for the small farmer who can’t get as much as he would like for - several days rain to have any effect on his potatoes. Government Ownership of Ships. We are persuaded that President WiL- SON will insist upon government owner- ship and operation of steam ships, in view of recent developments. Govern- ment ownership of ocean transportation facilities would be preferable to ship sub- sidies. But there is no necessity for either under existing circumstances. It is trie that international commerce is in a condition approaching paralysis, owing to the war in Europe, but it is not be- cause of scarcity of ships. There are plenty of ships available and there is an ' abundance of business to give them em- ployment. But the hazard is so great and the insurance rates ‘so high, that owners are reluctant to take the chances. Wisely Congress, at the suggestion of the President, amended the maritime laws so as to make it possible for Ameri- can capital to engage in international transportation and it may safely be pre- "dicted that in the near future there will be a number of ships afloat carrying the i i | Mexico’s New Troubles. No thoughtful observer looked for any- thing other than trouble between CAR- RANZA and VILLA as an incident to the establishment of permanent peace in Mexico. In fact the moment that the war tide turned in favor of the constitu- tionalists and against HUERTA, jealousies began to crop out and the question of which of the two leaders of the revolu- tionary force would dominate became a question. Both are small men, compara- tively speaking. Neither was influenced entirely by motives of patriotism at the outset. usurpation and wrong developed higher impulses in both but the final . triumph over their common enemy came before they were ready to meet it. VILLA is without education and until recently was absolutely without training or discipline. It may be presumed, how- ever, that he was and is, heartily with the oppressed people and that his pres- ent as well as his recently past purposes were for the people. CARRANZA was born and bred “in the purple” Highly educated and in some measure trained in statecraft, he may have had sympathies with the people though not of them. This was the line which separated these men and it is hard to reconcile either to the sincerity of the other or to complete confidence in his purposes. No doubt that would have come if they had dwelt together longer in adversity. In the circumstances a clash was in- evitable and happily it has come and let us hope gone. If neither of the chiefs is elected to the Presidency at the first election and a capable, courageous and conscientious man is chosen, it is more than likely that CARRANZA and VILLA will be brought together before another election is held and under the chasten- ing influence of private life both may better fit themselves for public service in the future. Mexico must have a sta- ble and just government. Her people are entitled to the opportunities for pros- perity and happiness which come to oth- ‘ers and under the watchful care of Pres- ‘ident WILSON such chances may be open- io apr | —So far the weather bureau holds out no promise of relief from the pres- ent drought. While local showers are predicted for to-day or tomorrow the barometic disturbance is not great enough to warrant any great amount of rainfail. Meanwhile the country is suf- fering for water greatly. Not only are the streams drying up but all kinds of vegetation has turned as brown as if burned by fire. In fact it will .require a ; the streams and springs. ——Bear hunting came in season yes- terday, but there was no general exo- dus of hunters from Bellefonte in search of that kind of game. They are all probably waiting for Thursday, October 15th, when the open season will begin for Hungarian quail, pheasants, wood- cock and squirrel. Be wary of wild tur- | keys, as they are protected from all kill- ing, and don’t bother the rabbits, as the season don’t open for them on October 15th. ——By discharging employees indus- , trial corporations may make the public | believe that times are hard, but they can’t fool intelligent folk into the absurd i notion that the tariff law is responsible for the fact. If the European war had , not broken out the tariff revision would have helped rather than hurt industrial life in this country. . ——From various sections of the State come reports that the chestnut crop will be a large one, but those who have in- mild form, some of the heresies which flag of the United States.

From the Philadelphia Record. There is no problem of State adminis- tration in Pennsylvania of wider interest or deeper consequence to the people than the problem of replacing our wretched country highways with a system of good roads. The discerning makers of polit- ical platforms and the astute candidates for the Governorship have not been ob- livious to the popular concern in this question. The platforms and the candi- dates have declared in favor of good roads. But unfortunately they have dealt in generalities, and generalities are unsatisfying. * i The time is ripe for explicit and spe- cific statements from both Mr. McCor- { mick and Dr. Brumbaugh setting forth their plans, if they have any, for recon- structing Pennsylvania’s roads. We may take it for granted that both are against graft in the administration of the High. way Department and in the letting of road contracts. Both are pledged against the mixing of politics with road-building. But how do they propose to handle this great undertaking, of such vital impor- tance to all parts of the State? "How much money do they believe should be devoted to it? How do they propose to meal construction, stretching over a long period of years, or a wholesale tackling of the job, involving its speedy comple- tion? Whatis their attitude toward our anachronistic toll roads, which ‘hamper communication and transportation, and put an embargo on free trade .between neighborhoods? We urge upon the Democratic stand- ard-bearer, as well as his Republican an- tagonist, the necessity of a full and com- prehensive declaration upon these and other phases of the road problem, and the desirability of presenting a practical plan which the voters may discuss intel- ligently. We are well aware that the Legislature will go through the form of determining these matters, but the di- recting mind will in reality be that of the Governor. What he recommends and works for will be accomplished if he is competent and resourceful. There- fore, it is of the highest importance that the candidates should take the people into their confidence and state in ad- vance of the election what measures they favor to facilitate the building of the kind of roads in all parts of the State that modern ideas of convenience and utility demand. Speak up Messrs. McCormick and Brumbaugh! Friend Villa. From the Johnstown Democrat. i Friend Villa should at least give Car- ‘ranza a chance. The peons of Mexico overthrew first Diaz and then Huerta in order to free the land. They fought for a “place in the sun.” They revolted against the system that gave to a few men at a figure approximating three cents an acre all of the available farm land in the re- public. The revolution was fought on the issue that the great estates be broken p. . The peons won. Villa, apparently, is becoming a bit impatient. However, even though Carranza is favorably dis- posed toward the cause of the landless he cannot straighten out the tangle that confronts the republic in a day. He, moreover, lacks Villa’s directness. The latter would do well to take Wilson’s ad- vice and keep not only his shirt but his coat on until it becomes apparent that he has been double-crossed. This much is certain, however. Even though Villa falls dead the fight for the land has gone so far in Mexico that the struggle will not end until economic justice has been is fighting for a “placein the sun” for his that canfind it in his heart to throw stones at the poor unlettered Mexican peon when the latter grabs up a rifle when the time comes to get what he wants? The Mexican peon is battling for economic justice. He is fighting because the civilization he knows pinches him. With a greater measure of justice there will be less pinch and, consequently, less fighting. President Should be Let Alone. From the Brookin Eagle. Jo ok It was in no spirit of hostility to Ger- many or pro-German opinion in this | country that President Wilson declined | to receive the editor of a German news- paper who sought to reply to the charges | made at the White House by the Belgian . commission. hg | The President was bound by all the {‘customs and laws of international rela- tions to receive the commission. It was sent to him by the King of Belgium, who represents a government with which our ,own is on terms of friendship. The President would extend precisely the i same courtesy to a commission repre- ! senting the German government, should | Berlin elect to present in official form But Mr. Wilson is under no . obligation , to listen to arguments from American citizens whether they have German, French, Russian or British sympathies. If he yielded once to that sort of impor- tunity he would find little time for other matters. The President is entitled to be let alone in this respect. His preference for a strictly neutral attitude should be respected by all Americans, whatever heir descent and whatever their preju- ices. ——The Bellefonte fish hatchery is now sending out trout at the rate of a thous- and a day to applicants who desire them for streams that have sufficient water to protect the fish.
