Dewi BY P. GRAY MEEK. INK SLINGS. ~——The Centre county fair will be held the first week in September. —There are probably worse things than war, but we are of the opinion that the masses of our people don’t want either. —Like EzrRA KENDALL, about all the men and women in the Diamond could talk about, was how they missed the babies. ~ —The hay that is being harvested in Centre county this season is not only un- ‘usually short but most of it has been ‘more or less damaged by rain. —The Kaiser has set the ending of the war to be in October. It is at least hope- ful that he has decided that he must either win or lose by that time. —Just to prove to yourself that a thing of beauty is not always a joy forever look at The Island and recall its verdant ‘beauty before the carnival occupied it. —There was too much to see during Old Home week. In fact so much that it was next to impossible to see the Old ‘Homers for whom all the fuss was made. —The Old Home week horse is dead, Tt was a splendid animal for seven days and performed its work well. Keep this in mind if you are asked to help pay for it. ~—Anyway Old Home week did Belle- fonte one good turn. It brought babies into numerous homes that had never had them before. We mean the dolls, of course. —PFinally HARRY THAW has been de- clared sane. It will be interesting to ‘watch the treatment the law will mete out to a sane man who enacted a crazy man’s crime. —About the only comfort the farmer can get out of this wet harvest weather is that it will probably produce a second hay crop to make up part of the short- age of the first. —We need the little quiet that has fallen on the town this week, for next week the Chautauqua begins and there will be an aesthetic commotion, if such a thing is possible. ~ —A pair of New Jersey robins are re- ported as having found a $2 bill and woven it into the nest they built. The report is incomplete as to who robbed the robins’ nest. —The wheat crop of Pennsylvania will be 16.2 bushels this year as against 18.6 : 4% x Ar many —The biggest surprise of Old Home week was the industrial parade. Of course. everyone expected something creditable, but: few imagined that: it could be made so wonderfully so. —With HARRY THAW free the alienists of the country and the builders of hypo- thetical questions will have little, indeed, to do. And, for many of them, the goose that has been laying the golden eggs for the past nine years will be killed. —The latest fad in men’s wear is to have the necktie match the hair. FRANK SMITH and some of. the rest of us will probably be out of fashion until we can find a microscope sufficiently powerful to discover what is the color of the fuzz we have left. —With thousands of grown folks and children using our streets as if they were side-walks last week it was little short of a miracle that not a single accident - was reported. The traffic squad certainly de- serves the highest commendation for the thoroughness and courtesy with which it handled the unusual situation. —A Philadelphia newspaper conducted a canvass to ascertain whom Pennsylva- nians regard as the greatest living Penn- sylvanian. It was not a surprise, at all, that JOHN WANAMAKER should have been the overwhelming choice, but it was a great surprise to see among those named for the honor many men scarcely known outside their local communities. . —In calling an advisory board of civil. ian inventors to discuss ways and means of making our defensive armament more impregnable Secretary DANIELS, of the Na- vy, has taken a wise step. With THoM- As A. EDISON at the head of such a body surely we should be reassured with the thought that the world’s greatest electrical genius must surely be able to work out some means of combatting the work of the submarine, especially. —The fact that the police had so little to do in Bellefonte last week is the most positive answer that can be given to those pessimists who think this part of the world is not getting better. With only eleven arrests for all causes, one fight and not a single pocket picked Bellefonte went through a seven day celebration in which fully fifty thousand people participated at one time or anoth- er. This couldn’t possibly have happen- ed five years ago and at the time of our centennial celebration a horse was near- ly worn out hauling the drunks, alone, to the lockup, while Gen. NELSON A.

VOL. 60. san BELLEFONTE, PA.. JULY 16, 1915. Efficiency of the National Guard. Citizens of Pennsylvania have abund- | ant reasons for feeling pride in the effi- ciency of our National Guard, a consid- | erable part of which is now encamped at Mount Gretna. The reports of experts | “in military affairs are uniformly flatter- | ing and fully justify the belief that in an emergency the entire body of State troops would be fit for service in the field. Itis. to be regretted that the guardsmen have : lost to a considerable extent their local ! identity but the greater efficiency attain- | ed by the division of authority with the National force is recompense to some ex- tent at least. The aim of both State | and Federal officials is to create an ef- fective defensive force. But we have.no sympathy with the spirit of militarism expressed by some of the officers in Camp JOHN W. SHALL. For example the other day Major JAMES KEMPER, one of the Federal instructors of the guard, in an interview for publi- cation permitted himself to indulge in a comparison of our force with that of the German empire and sharply protested against maintaining the guard on a peace rather than a war basis. He justified this absurdity by stating that ‘‘Germany has tonnage to land 4,000,000 seasoned soldiers in this country.” HOBSON could hardly have gone further in the direc- tion of jingoism and nobody could have been more preposterous. Yet such talk ‘from such sources mislead the minds of men in the ranks of the National Guard and plant the seeds of militarism. The strength of Germany’s naval equip- ment was brought to Major KEMPER’S mind by a discussion of the Kaiser’s note with respect to submarine operations. He meant, therefore, if ‘he meant any- thing, a present power and yet the Ger- man navy with the exception of subma- rines and aircraft is so completely bot- tled up that one of our local fire com- panies with a good supply of hose could prevent the landing of any troops which the German empire might send oversea. That being true the silly talk to which we refer is ‘worthless though mischiev- ‘Major. "KEMPER ‘would, therefore, our troops the: seience of war rather than ‘trying to educate them in civic affairs. ~ ——The State . Fish Commission will hold a meeting in Bellefonte next Mon- day, July 19th, and after inspecting the Bellefonte fish hatchery will award the contract for the erection of a new fire- This is an improvement that is badly needed and when completed will put the Bellefonte hatchery in the front rank of all the hatcheries in the State. Germany’s Last Note. Germany’s answer to the last note of President WILSON upon the subject of submarine atrocities on the high seas in- dicates that the Kaiser is simply spar- ring for time. He probably believes that so long as he evades the real issue the people of this country, being anxious for peace, will be satisfied with contro- versy. Therefore he neither affirms nor denies the accusations against his gov- ernment but promises liberally in friend- ship and accuses profligately against his enemies.. Meantime the atrocities, some- what modified in form, continue. The destruction of life is not as great as be- fore the protest, but it is intolerable and the destruction of property is only limit- ed by opportunity. The Kaiser is making a grave mistake in thus treating the subject. In common with most of his countrymen he believes that Germany enjoys a monopoly of culture and at least a controlling inter- est in the supply of intelligence in the world. Therefore he insults the Ameri- can people by his evasive answers to plain propositions and delaying the re- forms demanded in the name of com- mon humanity. The murder of innocents is abhorent and the people of the United States demand that so far as people of this country are concerned, it must stop. Emperor WILLIAM must answer directly and unequivocally and he may as well do So at one time as another. Pettyfogging will no longer serve the purpose. ; It is not necessary for Emperor WiL- LIAM’S Secretary of State to tell us that citizens will not be killed by submarine torpedoes if they remain at home and we need no advice from him as to what sort of vehicie to adopt in the event that we travel abroad. What we do want of him is an assurance that no American citizens will be murdered by submarine torpedoes while traveling, whatever the nationality of the ship upon which they are traveling if it. be a passenger ship. . This information can be given without evasion and unless it is given we are not too peaceful to demand satisfaction. The time for controversy is past. The time for fair dealing has arrived. a ———— proof hatching house at the hatchery. | ! hood. * Nearly all the ——Put your ad, in the WATCHMAN. -- 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 and thé WATCHMAN has been very for- tunate in enlisting his service for this work.—ED. : HARRISBURG, PA., July 14th, 1915. The man upon whom the eyes of official Harrisburg are focused at this bles- sed moment is JOHN PRICE JACKSON, Commissioner of Labor and Industry. JOHN PRICE J. has a lot of patronage concealed on his person and every official on the Hill and most of the people of the town are interested. Only those who have lived a considerable time at a seat of government know - the attractions of office or the interest which office holders feel in vacancies and prospective appoint ments. A close observer would imagine that every office holder wants every office You Centre county folk know JOHN PRICE JACKSON. A good man and efficient officer, he is not what you would call profligate with his confidences. He names a factory inspector now and then but every appointment is a_ surprise. Not that he isn’t a party man, for he is. Not that he is against the machine, for he is not. But as a matter of fact he is an important cog in the BRUMBAUGH machine and every appointment he makes contributes to the strength and efficiency of that machine. Before another year has come and gone it will be discovered that BoIES PENROSE is a party piker and the BRUMBAUGH machine will be operating a steam roller of such power and potency as even QUAY never dreamed of. And the BRUMBAUGH colossal juggernaut will be operated in the name of righteousness. Captain KIDD, the famous or infamous pirate and some of the an- cient buccaneers understood the value of a reputaticn for benevolence and studi- ously spread abroad the impression that whatever they took from the rich was distributed among the poor. But none of them worked hypocrisy as hard and ef- fectively as the modern reform politicians. They invariably don the “livery of heaven” when they have a particularly selfish and sordid job to put over and by using a pulpit on Sunday and a “poisoned pen” during the week deceive the av- - erage citizen into the belief that they are fountains of righteousness. Governor BRUMBAUGH preached last Sunday from the pulpit of a Brethren church near Meyersdale, Somerset county. Of course there was neither intrigue nor politics in this incident, for the Governor is an ordained minister in that chris- tian denomination and there is no guile in the Brethren. The late Judge JEREMI- AH S. BLACK was a shining pillar in the church and the town derived its name from the sturdy ancestors of my distinguished and valued friend, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN MEYERS, of Harrisburg, Democratic war horse and veteran editor. But Governor BRUMBAUGH was looking for a Commissioner of Agriculture and it’s dol- lars to doughnuts that he had more politics than religion in his mind even while in the pulpit. it ~The Highway Department has been ma FE ads. i This may have been a very important event, but took on something of the ap. pearance of a junket. Besides the Commissioner the first deputy, the engineer, and the statistician of the department were in the party and their passage through Delaware county was like a “triumphal march.” Afterward they crossed the Sus- quehanna river and running through York and Adams counties struck the nation- al pike at Emmittsburg, Maryland, and followed that highway to the Ohio river. It is remembered that such junkets were the weakness nf commissioner BIGELOW. The initial step toward establishing a State Insurance fund under the act ap- proved June 2nd, 1915, was taken on Monday by the State Sinking fund Commis: sioners. The sum of $175,000 was transferred from the sinking fund to the new fund and it was determined that all monies received for the sinking fund in excess of the bonded debt at the time will be so disposed of until the insurance fund reaches the million dollar mark. This act is one ot the group known as the Gov- ernor’s employer's liability laws and is designed to relieve employers of that part of the burdens whick such laws might involve. The employers who subscribe according to a fixed rate will be reimbursed for losses sustained. The food stuffs in storage in all the cold storage plants in the State, accord- ing to'a statement recently issued by JAMES Foust, Dairy and Food Commission- er, would last for only a short time. On June 30th, there were in storage: 18,- 800,169 dozen eggs, 362,878 pounds of eggs out of shells, 4,962,877 pounds of butter and 1,800,188 pounds of fish. In each of these items there was a considerable in- crease as compared with the quantities held on the 31st day of March. The stor- ed poultry dropped from 3,438,302 pounds on the 31st day of March to 2,261,431 on the last day of June and game decreased from 7,422 pounds in March to 6,978 in June. On the last day of June there were only 48 pounds of squabs in storage through the State. n Judge McCARRELL, of the Dauphin county court; handed down an opinion the other day which may prevent the issue of certificates to the hundred or so appli- cants for positions as mine foremen. The court held that the law requires the De- partment of Mines to examine applicants and issue certificates if the applicants qualified. , The opinion of Judge McCARRELL raises a question as to whether the Department of Mines has the right.to name men as inspectors who have had only a few months’ experience. President MATTHEWS, of district No. 9, holds that such men are competent. - The Governor says that he will allow the workmen’s compensation board to work out its-own problems before naming a chairman. The board is composed of JOHN A. ScorrT, of Indiana; JAMES W. LEECH, of Ebensburg, and HARRY A. MACK- EY, of Philadelphia. One of the hardest problems it will encounter will be to hold Mr. MACKEY down to the earth. Meantime it is safe to predict that he will be the .chairman if there is any advantage in occupying that position. MACKEY is one of the VARE followers and they are not a modest bunch. The new Board of Agriculture will meet in this city on Friday and it is ex- pected that during that meeting the Governor will announce the chairman. But there is no certainty of that, for BRUMBAUGH appears to enjoy uncertainty in such things. He hasn’t appointed a chairman of the Public Service Commission as yet, and shows no inclination to do so. Meantime AINEY is running the machine on his own hook by holding conferences with the heads of bureaus at regular inter- vals. Congressman KEIss has declined the seat on the board which was tendered to him nearly two months ago, but not a word has been said about his successor. It would be a saving of money without impairment of efficiency if the place were left vacant indefinitely. ; The money appropriated for the establishment and maintenance of continua- tion schools will be disbursed by the local school boards is the sensible conclusion | and welcome announcement of the State Board of Education. The funds will be | distributed, or rather apportioned, upon the basis upon which other school funds - Petition. A Rl : It is not by any means over optimistic | are apportioned. It is estimated that nearly 50,000 pupils will have to be provided | for, but about half of them will be in Philadelphia. : ; The Highway Department is still hot after drunken automobile drivers. Sev- | eral licenses have been revoked and the announcement is that more will follow. | This is one reform in which the entire public sympathizes. Drunken drivers are a menace, not oly tothe users of cars, but to everybody else. Judge GEORGE - KUNKEL showed that his head is properly working on this. point the other day when he sent a jitney driver to jail and fined him $100 for intoxication.

From the Harrisburg Star-Independent. important thing for the United States and the thing most desired by our peo- ple is to keep out of war if there is a i possible way of doing it without sacrific- jing our honor,—honor in the highest "sense of the word,—and adhering stead- , fastly to our expressed intention to stand | by the President,—who has won the na- tion’s confidence,~in whatever he may ; do in relation to our serious controversy with Germany, it is neither wise nor be- ‘coming for the people of the United States at this moment to shout for war or against war as a result of the publica- -tion of the report of the Imperial Gov- ernment to the last American note. Now that the text of the reply has been published, subject, perhaps, to | changes of a few words in the official | document that has not yet reached Wasgh- {ington but which changes manifestly ‘ cannot alter the general purpert of the document, it would be puerile to endeav- ‘or to attempt to construe Germany’s | answer as satisfying the specific demands made in the last American note,—chief of which demands was that for the dis- continuance of submarine attacks made in a way to imperil the lives of neutrals. Germany’s suggestions of arrange- | Bearing ever in mind that the most tect purely neutral shipping do not satis- fy the specific demands of the Washing- ton government. Yet it is not impossi- ble that they may be made the basis of further negotiations which may ultimate- ly result in an agreement which would guarantee protection of Americans on the high seas in a, way to conform with our just demand that all of our rights be respected. . Patriotic Americans, at any rate, will not shout for war or do anything else to embarrass President Wilson, to whom they have unqualifiedly pledged their support in whatever he may decide is the right course to follow, so long as he proves himself entitled to our confidence in the measure as he has proved himself entitled to it by his every act thus far with relation to the controversy with Germany. The State and its Obligation. From the Harrisburg Patriot. ; Figures published in the Patriot re- cently show how laggard Pennsylvania has been in the great extension move- ments of the State colleges and Univer. sities of the country. Ina comparison of thirty-one of the more important tates. States like Maryland and Utah were con- siderably ahead of the Commonwealth. The home of such extensive work has been in the west which may account for the fact that States like Minnesota, Ohio, for years State College in Pennsylvania has been doing pioneer work in State despite the fact that the Legisla- tures have not done all they should not work at Penn State. : Back of extension work is the same principle as back of the public schools. It aims to carry the college to the public rather than the reverse. It makes pos- sible instruction for the farmer and the mechanic in much the same way as through enrollment at the institution. It is giving a direct return to the man whose taxes help pay: for the work. ' Organized as such the movement mer- its generous treatment from the law- making bodies. Penn State now is eager to enlarge this part of its work but must keep within the limits set by the Legis- lature. Counties throughout the State are asking for farm agents; industrial centers are seeking schools, but these can be granted only in proportion to the assistance given by the legislators. And it is apparent that these need. further urging before they realize fully the pos- sibilities that rest with Penn State. © The Demand for Steel. From the Pittsburgh Dispatch. : The increase in unfilled orders for steel bringing them to the highest point since February of a year ago, is the more remarkable because of this being ordi- narily the slack period. The causes that have produced this condition are practic- ally only beginning to operate. A con- tinued and increasing gain in demand is looked for. War orders have heretofore monopo- lized popular attention, but there are other factors more important and, what is better, some of which are likely to be permanent. The phenomenal demand for our foodstuffs, and the exceptional production is increasing the demand for steel for agricultural implements at home, while the general prosperity re- sulting from the farmer’s success will of course lead to betterments and expan- sions in every other line. Our oppor- tunity for export is littly more than open- ing. The war has paralyzed or trans- formed the steel industries of Europe. The paramount demand there is for munitions, and every plant that can be uti- lized is engaged on that. This leaves the world largely dependent upon the United States for commercial steel. The mar- kets thus thrown open will give usa chance to establish ourselves, so that when the war ends we will have a defi-: nite standing upon which to meet com- on to say that we are entering a period of unequalled - opportunity in which Pitts- burgh, as the center of the industry, is certain to reap a splendid harvest. —O0ld Jupe Pluvius is certainly the hail fellow these days, but he is not well met with the farmers who can’t get their hay dry enough to get into the barn, ——Have your Job Work done here. ments designed in some respects to pro- A ‘the mayor or burgess of any y: Such is Its contribution was $6,000.

Mr. Sullivan late yesterday made a test of the flow of gas and estimated the pressure at 70 pounds and the flow at least 75,000,000 cubic feet a day. He said, however, that the test was inaccurate, for, because of the tremendous pres- sure, it was impossible to hold a guage over the mouth of the well, and that he believed the flow might reach 100,000,000 cubic feet.
