address on Monday. x
| —According to the United States gov-
ernment crop estimate Pennsylvania pro-
duced four million more bushels of wheat
in 1914 than she will in 1915. It is also
interesting to note that while this State
received an average of $1.46 for its 1914
wheat crop the general average in the
United States was only $1.40.
. —Unfortunately, Germany can’t bring
herself to see that American producers
are quite as willing to sell commodities
to her as they are to sell them to her
enemies. Germany can buy all the
food she wants in this country, but she
is not in position to take it f. 0. b. an
American port and our shippers are not
foolish enough to sell it any other way.
—1It takes the hour of supreme trial to
reveal what is really in a man. How
many of those, who have thought of
ALFRED GWYNNE VANDERBILT only as
the pampered son of plutocracy, would
have taken the life belt and safety off
their own shoulders and fastened it unto
an unknown woman as the sea was call-
ing her to the watery grave in which he
elected to be her substitute?
. — There are only five United States
Senators who drink to excess, according
to Senator KERN, of Indiana. But the
statement leaves the important question
of what constitutes excess in doubt.
Judge KocH, of Pottsville, once asked an
expert wi‘ness how many beers a man
might drink in a day without being con-
sidered a drunkard. “Vell chudge, it
depents,” was the reply. “Do you mean
klasses or keks.”
—If England has the greatest navy in
the world, she has the biggest bill of
expense for something that seems to be
of very little value. The further this
war goes on the more convinced the
WATCHMAN becomes that it’s constant
opposition to “the larger navy” program
for our own country has been founded
on wisdom. What's the use of a twelve
million dollar super dreadnaught that
really dreads 2 fifty thousand dollar sub-
marine? Nir
cluded an ‘exhaustive investigation of
the prevalence of feeble mindedness in
Pennsylvania. The report to the State
Board of Charities is, to say the least,
alarming. While Dr. KEY hints at many
conditions that might contribute to this
unfortunate state of affairs no reference
is made to the possibility that hanging
onto the protective tariff delusion, as
Pennsylvania has done, has been a con-
tributory cause.
——The rains of the past fortnight
have improved the appearance of the
grain fields of Centre county fully fifty
per cent, and the grass fields give
promise of a bountiful hay crop. Garden
truck is growing splendidly, fruit trees
are in bloom and all nature is in the
spring of life. Verily the man or woman
who cannot view nature at this time
with an optimistic eye does not deserve
an equal share of the bounteous harvest
that should come with autumn days.
—If there is one thing more than
another in the WATCHMAN these days
that has real class it is the correspon-
dence from Rebersburg. County cor-
respondence is not expected to be of much
interest to readers unfamiliar with the:
neighborhood covered, but with our
Rebersburg budget its different. ‘There's
so much of sprightliness mixed up with
the local gossip as to make its reading
by entire strangers quite entertaining
and the daring young writer even has
the temerity to take a fling at “Priscilla,”
the WATCHMAN’S pet jingler just now,
and calls ADAM a “big boob.” If he isn’t
the man who put con into newspaper
contributions we have another guess
coming.
*—Don't be hasty in making up your
judgment about what your country should
do as a result of the Lusitania horror.
As an affront to our government the
sinking of the Gulf-light was probably a
more serious offense than the attack
upon the Lusitania, for the former was
an American boat carrying the stars and
stripes, while the latter was an English
vessel. Asa crime against civilization,
of course, the latter was the greater.
Even if we were inclined to undertake
such a serious venture it is doubtful
whether we could punish Germany by
force. In fact we are of the opinion that
it would be utterly impossible. Not be-
cause of any weakness on our part, but
merely because of the insuperable ob-
stacles that lie in the way of getting at
her, should those who believe that war
can be justified have their way. It is
well to remember that the German peo-
ple are not responsible for this terrible
crime. It is the work of a militarism
that has no soul and knows no God and
which will ultimately be crushed under
the heels of the German people, them-

Sinking of the Lusitania.
The destruction of the Lusitania, off | :
the Irish coast, a week ago, by a torpedo
fired from a German submarine, was an
act of piracy unparallelled in atrocity.
By it the lives of hundreds of men, wom-
en and children were sacrificed to the
lust for blood. It was a crime against
civilization, an outrage upon humanity.
But horrible as it was the people of the
United States should not “lose their
heads” over it. The nation should not
be plunged into a bloody and costly war
in resentment of an event which may
better be treated in another way. In
other words the crime is too great, the
outrage too overwhelming to consider in
the heat of passion.
Morally there can be no excuse for
such savagery but war is outside of mor-
als and there may be some explanation
or paliative. According to authentic ac-
counts part of the cargo was contraband.
It is alleged that thousands of pounds of
ammunition were stored in the hold of
the vessel and.it has been intimated that
the British government was trying to
smuggle war materials under the shelter
of the skirts of women and children. It
is admitted, moreover, that the German
embassy at Washington had notified the
public, through advertisements in leading
newspapers, that the ship would be tor-
pedoed. In the first place it ought to be
impossible to carry ammunition or high
explosives in a ship carrying thousands
of passengers. In the second place the
warning ought to have received greater
attention.
Besides, the British government is not
free from censure in the circumstances.
The ship ought to have been protected
in its approach to the coast by British
warships. It is a British boast that Eng-
land is master of the sea. That false
pretense is largely responsible for the
disaster because in the absence of it the
German warning would have been heed-
ed. The incident shows, however, that
the boast is a bluff. The British navy is
not able to protect the British coast for
since the beginning of the war English
cities within range of the heavy guns
have been shelled whenever the German
selves in that way. For these reasons
there should be ‘no haste in passing upon
the question of responsibility or reprisals.
All facts should be ascertained before
action is taken.
——1It might go hard with the people,
of course, but it is nevertheless possible
that the State of Pennsylvania might
worry along for a time without a State
flower.
President Wilson’s Address to
Citizens.
New
Always admirable on the rostrum
President WILSON excelled himself in his
address to the newly naturalized citizens
in Philadelphia on Monday evening. In
that he was simply superb. He welcomed
them to citizenship because they had re-
vealed a spirit worthy of citizenship and
for the reason that conferring citizenship
upon them is mutually and equally ad-
vantageous to them and the country. He
didn’t address them as inferiors or preach
to them a censorious sermon upon their
obligations. He simply told them that
they had been admitted upon equal terms
with the rest &f us into a corporation
created and maintained for the good of
the people of the United States and com-
mon humanity. :
Probably the dominant note of the
President’s address was the wholesome
admonition against racial prejudice which
is too common at all times among adopt-
ed citizens and especially mischievous at
this time. “A man who thinks of him-
self as belonging to a particular national
group in America,” he declared, “has not
| yet become an American.” Clearly he
had in mind those hyphenated individuals
who persist in thus expressing love for
the father or mother land. But the
President did not deprecate the spirit of
affection to the birth place. On the con-
trary he commended it as an indication
of a wholesome individuality. He most
emphatically condemned, however, “the
man who goes among you to trade upon
your nationality.” a
The address was magnificent and the
occasion unique. So far as we recall no
similar meeting has ever been held in
this country and no such inspiration to
good citizenship has ever before been
given to the newly made citizens to hope
for and bring about the best for them-
selves and the country. The President
refrained from comment upon recent dis-
turbing incidents because: his purpose was
to soothe rather than to embitter the
minds of those he addressed and the
enthusiasm with which he was received
and applauded'by native as well as adopt-
ed citizens in his vast audience proved
the ripeness of his judgment and the
wisdom of his course. As usual he spoke

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
BELLEFONTE, PA. MAY 14, 1915.
Our Weekly Summary of Legislative Activities.
Feeling that the people of Centre county have a personal interest in what is
"being done by the Legislators at Harrisburg and that laws that may affect the
future of every individual more directly than ever before are under consideration
now and may be written into the statutes of the Commonwealth, the WATCHMAN"
“has arranged to publish a weekly summary of what has been done at Harrisburg.
It is not the purpose to go into detail of the various Acts proposed and furnish
you with a burdensome account of them. : Merely to set them, and whatever else
is deemed of interest to the people of this community, before you in a general,
‘unbiased statement that will keep you informed of the progress that is being
"made. The contributor of this Summary is one of the most capable and best
informed of Harrisburg’s newspaper men afd the WATCHMAN has been very for-
tunate in enlisting his service for this work.—ED.
HARRISBURG, PA., May 12th, 1915.
The General Assembly will adjourn finally on May 20th and the business is
now being rushed with that feverish energy that marks the “beginning of the end.”
Three sessions a day is the rule and argument is eliminated, reason excluded and
deliberation shut out. Some of those concerned in pending legislation wanted
another week and one or two pleaded for another day. But Senators Crow, Mc-
NICHOL and VARE met the Governor last evening and - settled the matter. What
others think upon any subject is unimportant.
But before this matter was settled an iron-clad agreement was entered into’
that the Governor’s compensation bills will be passed. The time upon which these
measures become operative has been changed from January to July. 1916, but in
other respects they meet the Governor’s program to the dot. Crow yielded re-
luctantly but the enthusiasm of MCNICHOL and the servility of VARE fixed the
matter. The six months which will intervene between that date and the conven-
ing of the next session of the Legislature can be used in litigating the validity of
the bills, and after that —“the deluge,” for instance.
The CATLIN bill’ placing mine workers under the shelter of the workmen's
compensation bill passed the House finally yesterday without an opposing vote.
The coal operators fought this measure vigorously and had it in the Senatorial
grave yard once. But it was resurrected and passed that body three weeks ago.
It is now in the hands of the Governor and will be approved, of course. There is
no reason to discriminate against coal miners other than the wealth and political
activity and influence of the operators, corporate and individual.
Of course there is a lot of legislation which will fail because of lack of time
but each branch is now giving preference to bills already passed by the other and
the total of measures completed will be greatly increased during the week yet
available. Those providing for new offices and increasing salaries appear to be
preferred. Yesterday the Senate passed finally the House bill increasing the sal-
aries of employees of the board of revision of taxes in Philadelphia and the Senate
bill creating 21 assistant anthracite mine inspectors at salaries of $2000 a year each,
The constitutional amendment abolishing the poll tax was defeated in the House.
The Governor's revenue program has again been shattered, this time irrepar-
ably. On Monday evening the bill to increase the auto license tax was defeated
by the surprising vote of 120 nays to 59 ayes and the bill to levy a stamp tax on
stock transfers fell by a vote of 89 ayes to 73 nays, 104 votes being necessary to
pass it. The bill shifting the expenses of pr i :
several counties passed, the vote being 122'to 51. That will save the State about
$800,000, but will relieve the public of nothing. The failure of the other revenue
raisers will compel a readjustment of the appropriation program.
As predicted last week the BALDWIN bill for the repeal of the Full Crew law
of 1911 passed the Senate Monday evening, the vote being 33 ayes to 16 nays.
During the brief debate on the question Senator BIDLEMAN read the letter writ-
ten by the Governor during the campaign, to a citizen of Harrisburg, pledging
himself to veto such a measure if passed by the Legislature. Notwithstanding
‘that it is freely predicted that BRUMBAUGH will approve the bill. His fidelity to
pledges, some politicians say, depends on circumstances and the Pennsylvania
railroad wants this legislation badly. Uncertainty makes speculation interesting.
Of course the sinking of the Lusitania opened the floodgates of patriotism in
the Legislature and on Monday evening a resolution was introduced in each
chamber. The author of the first, and by far the most perfervid, of these is Rep-
resentative ADAMS who for some weeks kept a pet pig as his constant companion
in and out of the chamber. It “condemns the action of the German nation as a
dastardly deed worthy of none but a barbarous and uncivilized people” and de-
mands that the President take “the most drastic action in securing from the Ger-
man nation an apology for its barbarous canduct, reparation to the fullest degree
for the destruction of American lives and property and an unconditional guaran-
tee that its heinous conduct, manifested in this cowardly deed, will never again be
permitted by it to occur.”
The Senate resolution, introduced by Senator JENKINS of Philadelphia recites
the various outrages perpetrated by “the Imperial German goverment,” the sink-
ing the Frye, the drowning of LEON H. THRESHER, the wrecking of the tankship
Gulflight, the dropping bombs on the Cushing and finally the sinking of the Lusi
tania and pledges the Legislature to support the President of the United States
“to the utmost in any measures he may take to uphold our national honor, dignity
and security.” Why Senator VARE let this opportunity for buncombe slip has not
been revealed. Both resolutions were referred to appropriate committees.
The General Appropriation bill was reported out late last week. It carries a’
tax burden of $32,497,406.06 as against $37,152,850.28, two years ago. But the
apparent decrease of nearly four and three quarter millions is a delusion. Funds
for the maintenance of the State Highway Department are not included in the bill
whereas something like $2,000,000 were appropriated to that use two years ago.
This year that expense is taken care of in separate bill and a considerable part of
the money for the maintenance of the Health Department is provided for in the
same way. The item for the Health Department looked too large in a single bill
and it was probably believed that splitting it up would fool the public. Taking
these bills into consideration the totals are nearly alike.
Senator MCNICHOL'’S election bills have all been reported out; of the House
committee except that prohibiting fusion and it is said that the Governor has ar-
ranged for the strangling of that measure. The others including that placing the
Republican ticket in the first column on the ballot, are scheduled to pass. This
measure marks McNICHOL as “a welcher.” In the original act covering this ques-
tion it was provided that the party having the highest vote at the Presidential
election should occupy the first place during the ensuing four years for the rea-
son that the machine leaders were cock sure that the Republican candjdate for
President would always have the highest vote in Pennsylvania. But in 1912 that
hope was disappointed and MCNICHOL pleads “the baby act.” He proposes to
change the law to give his party candidates the advantage. That makes him a
poor sport.
On Thursday of last week the Governor turned his attention to the consider-
ation of bills before him and he signed a lot of them, including that providing
insurance policies taken out for or assigned to a wife, children or other relatives
shall be exempt from claims of creditors;establishing regulations for insurance
on the Lloyds plan; providing that an attorney shall have a lein for his compen-
sation ugon his client's cause of action, claim or counter-claim which shall attach
to an award, verdict, or other form of judgment; amending the Superior
act so that rank and seniority of judges shall be determined by continuous length
of service; regulating the sale of chickory mixed with coffee; regulating method
of practicing veterinary medicine; fixing the salaries of Associate Judges not
