Both Germany and Austria declare that they are getting nothing from America. —And JESS WILLARD, the mighty cham- pion of the squared-ring is traveling with a circus.

Only cowards could have taken a life that was so weakened by a recent murderous assault upon him. The men who imagined themselves heroes in the perpetration of such a heinous out- rage will find themselves scourged by public sentiment everywhere. —The writer of our weekly budget from Rebersburg has called to their own defense a party of young gentlemen from Millheim who appear to be quite in fa- vor with some of the fair ones of Re- bersburg.

During the big noise that was made at the celebration she was also given credit with having raised fifteen children in the meantime. It seems to us that the old man deserves honorable mention, at least. He may have been a failure in the mer- cantile business, but not everyone gets into the vocation that he is best adapted for at the first trial. ; —The imperial German government is + reported to have purchased Cramp’s ship yards at Camden. If there is any truth in the rumor the purchase was made, of | course, to make the manufacture of sup- plies for the Allies no longer possible at that plant. While that would be one way of getting even with the Allies we fancy that if it were carried very far the result would cause serious labor prob- lems in this country. Were the Germans to buy the Bethlehem Steel Co., our large tractor and ammunition manufactories, they would not use their products them- selves because it could not be transport- ed to Germany. Consequently their only object in purchase would be to close them so that they could no longer make supplies for the Allies who have ways of transportation. Imagine what a serious labor problem the closing of such plants would precipitate and you will get an idea of what Germany, or any other gov- ernment, buying American industrial plants would mean. —The replies of the various candidates for judicial position in Centre county to the questions propounded by a commit- tee representing the Temperance vote, i which appear in another column of this paper, are interesting.

AUGUST 20, 19 STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. 15. LL 01 00, Neutrality Question Settled. One sentence in the note of Secretary | of State LANSING in his reply to the com- | plaint of Austria-Hungary against the | sale of munitions of war to the allies of | France completely answers all the objec- | tions raised in Vienna and Berlin. “This i government is reluctant to believe,” ! writes the Secretary, “that the Imperial | and Royal government will ascribe to! the United States a lack of impartial neu- trality in continuing its legitimate trade in all kinds of supplies used to render the armed forces of a belligerent efficient, even though the circumstances of the present war prevent Austria-Hungary from obtaining such supplies from the markets of the United States, which have been and remain, so far as the action and the policy of this government are concerned, open to all belligerents alike.” If the government of the United States were to issue an order forbidding the sale of munitions of war to one belligerent and not to the other, it would be partial and unneutral. An order prohibiting the exportation of munitions altogether, in the event that one belligerent had facili- ties to supply itself and the other hadn't, would be equally violative of neutrality and certainly inimical to our own indus- trial life. The only real neutrality is ex- pressed in the declared policy of ‘the United States government to offer an open market to all who desire to buy and equal opportunity to purchase. If one belligerent is unable to purchase, either because it is unable to secure delivery or hasn’t money to pay, the other ought not to be - deprived of its chance to obtain what it wants on terms that are open to both, so far as we are concerned. It is not the fault of the government of the United States that Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey are unable ‘to obtain goods from makers across. the -sea because of the greater sea power of the ‘Other belligerent. Citizens of the United States manufacture goods for sale and offer them in an open market to - all who want to buy. To say that one cus- tomer may not buy because another can’t would be puttingthe penalty of the faults of both upon the.American manufacturer. In view of these obvious facts the note of ‘Secretary of State LANSING is a com- plete answer both to Vienna“ and : Berlin and further correspondence upon ‘the subject would be a waste of time and closed incident.” —It takes half a day to sing China’s national hymn and three minutes to sing America.

PIERPONT MORGAN. “Don’t kick the dog,” says our Philadelphia contemporary, and, it adds, “there comes a point where enlargement of size no longer adds to efficiency.” The time is probably when a pet project is about to encounter an antagonist equal in proportion, energy and efficiency to itself. “By a curious circumstance,” says our contemporary, “United States Steel itself supplies the best arguments against the welding together of its smaller although formidable rivals. Trade and mill statis tics prove that there are no economies which United States Steel may practice that the Cambria and Bethlehem and the others mentioned may not put into effect. The fact is that all these big plants can and do compete successfully with United States Steel in every market.” But it is not because they are smaller. It is for the reason that they were honest- ly conducted. : The United States Steel trust was more than half water and for the reason that no individual concern is big enough to if more people of good character | ©0mpete with it it maintains, prices of sign a remonstrance against the grant. steel products at a level which enables it ing of a certain: license than there are | t©0 Pay dividends upon the vast volume names of people of good character on the application for said license ‘whether the Judge-to-be will refuse the license on that ground, Mr. JOHNSTON and Mr. DALE have answered to the effect that they would refuse a license purely on . the relative number and character of the petitioners for and against. The others say they would consider such petitions as factors in determining the need of a li- cense.

Mr. CARNEGIE gave Mr. FRICK an option on his steel properties at precisely - half the amount which MORGAN subse- ‘quently ‘paid. Presumably the other units were bought under similar condi- tions and the products must pay for this load. The amalgamation talked of would compel the pumping out of the water and reduce prices to a fair level. + .——There was a decided change in the atmosphere on Tuesday which became so cold by Wednesday morning that a slight frost was noticed in some portions ‘of Centre county.

No recent incident has shaken the political centre known as Capitol Hill so severely as the appointment of THOMAS B. SMITH, of Philadelphia to, the office of Public Service Commissioner. = “It’s just like taking your watch to a blacksmith’s | shop for repairs,” remarked an experienced politician and long time public official. Of all men who have fallen into the office-holding habit Tom SMITH is the last one who would come into a rational mind for that service. of Philadelphia and made a fairly good PENROSE agent. But he is absolutely with- out experience or other qualification for the service to which he has been called But the surprise at his appointment doesn’t come from the conviction that he is incapable. As a matter of fact fitness receives the least consideration in mak- ing appointments. The surprise was that BRUMBAUGH had plunged headlong into the dirty pool of Philadelphia machine politics. There was no real fight on be- tween the VARES and MCNICHOL for the Mayoralty nomination. The false pre- tense of a difference was set up for the purpose of getting a candidate who would serve both interests and fool the people into the belief that he would serve neither. This required a good deal of manipulation and to pull it off the Governor was dragooned into the conspiracy. ’ Four years ago when GEORGE H. EARLE defeated BILL VARE for the nomina- tion the VARE followers couldn’t be reconciled and a Mayor was elected who was quite as averse to one boss as to another so that both the contracting firms suf- fered. Mr. SMITH is entirely willing to be the candidate of both MCNICHOL and VARE and they are equally willing to accept him in full confidence that under the circumstances he will be fair to both. Four years ago he fought VARE for the nomination, but he was PENROSE’S postmaster at the time and is one of those per” sons who “stay bought.” This year he was free to enter into any sort of combi- nation that seemed expedient or promised advantage. With MCcNICHOL’S con- sent, therefore, he threw out a life-line to VARE which was accepted. The friendship of VARE was a negligible asset, however, in the face of the . antagonism of MCNICHOL and PENROSE and after giving the proper assurances of allegiance to his old boss SMITH induced McNicHOL to offer him to VARE as a compromise candidate. But the support of both contractors left him in doubt unless he could obtain a certificate of character from some respectable source and- Attorney General BROWN was appealed to. Out of his prolific brain came the solution of the problem. There was a vacancy on the Board of Public Service » Commissioners. An appointment to that position by a political purist like BRUM- BAUGH would be unimpeachable evidence of his respectability and as BRUMBAUGH was enjoying himself in Maine, nothing could be easier. The only perceptible “fly in the ointment” was the uncertainty of the temper of the VARE “cohorts.” Suppose they would pursue the same course as they adopted in 1911? Mr. BROWN was equal to this emergency, also. He inserted into the letter tendering SMITH the seat on the Public Service Board a statement that the suggestion came from Congressman VARE and Senator VARE, thus binding the VARE followers to SMITH “with hooks of steel.” It was not necessary to fool the PENROSE and MCNICHOL adherents. They may be relied upon to “stand without hitching,” and would vote for one candidate as freely as another, if the boss’ in- “terests were conserved théreby. It looks now as if the whole fabric ‘may tumble ‘down, however. Tk AUC Ses be In other words there are grave doubts concerning the adequacy of the BRUM- BAUGH certificate of character. The newspapers of Philadelphia have emitted a roar which is still reverberating in the mountains of Maine. The Governor has appealed to.public sentiment to await his explanation and public sentiment is somewhat disposed to refuse his request. Meantime Mr. SMITH has been hanging around the capitol hoping for an opportunity to break into the pay roll on a basis of ten thousand dollars per. He can’t connect, of ¢ourse, until his commission is duly signed and in the absence of the Governor the commission can’t be signed. The Governor will be here this week, however, and when he comes there may be something doing. In any event things look different now. A report of the crops in Pennsylvania as to August 5 has been issued by the Department of Agriculture. The Hessian fly damaged the wheat in half the coun- ties of the State but the loss from that source this year will only be half what it was last year. The greatest damage was done in Berks county. There were 1,105,000 acres in oats this year and the yield averaged 34.5 bushels to the acre. The corn crop will be 2,000,000 bushels short of that of last year and six per cent. short of the average for ten years. The average will be only 37 bushels to the acre. The 277,200 acres sown in buckwheat this year will produce 5,448,500 bush- els and there will be 5,020,000 tons of hay from 3,015,000 acres of meadow. To- bacco shows a decrease in acreage and product and potato production will aver- age 89.6 bushels to the acre, a total of 24,493,000 bushels. Professor SURFACE, State Zoologist, has discovered that the bee disease known as “foul brood” is prevalent among bees in Pennsylvania to a considerable extent and is setting out to provide a remedy. He estimates that there are about 105,000 hives of bees in the State. Last year more than 19,000 colonies were inspected and 870, in forty-one counties, were infected. Dr. SURFACE estimates that the bees of the State and the fixtures used in caring for them are worth a million dol- lars. © They produce $1,000,000 worth of honey a year and are worth an equal amount in fruit production. : The Department of Labor has begun issuing phamphlets like those of the Health and Agricultural departments and S. S. RIDDLE, of Bloomsburg, has been appointed Department editor. We are moving toward a time when government will do everything for the citizen and the citizen will have nothing to do but get poor. By a ruling of the Attorney General's office, handed down yesterday, inter preting an amendment to the Mothers’ Pension law passed during the last session of the Legislature, only mothers whose husbands are dead or permanently con fined to a hospital for the insane are eligible for pensions. Heretofore mothers deserted by their husbands could claim under the law and much good was ac- complished under that provision. The Attorney General has also decided that County Commissioners must make the necessary provision to put the law into “force. Very many boards of Commissioners had neglected or refused to'do so. The petitions for judicial candidates are coming in now in numbers. Those | most numerously signed are for Judges HEAD and ORLADY, candidates for re- nomination to the Superior court bench. It looks as if the bar of the State is practically unanimous for these two jurists and they are exceedingly popular with ! others. The Governor's junket to San Francisco is scheduled for next week, but a considerable number of those who were expected to participate will not do so. The party will not have returned in time to take a commanding part in the pri- mary campaign and there is a great deal of interest in the local candidates every- | where. The Bull Moosers as a rule are returning to their former parties but in Dauphin county they are trying to form an alliance with the Democrats. Four ears ago the Democrats i y ag crats and Keystoners fused and elected every. county office of the Garter on a woman, but perhaps | that was filled except one, that of District Attorney. Probably the proposed new combination will accomplish the same result. : : ——An important political campaign will soon be here. Subscribe for the . WATCHMAN and get the authentic news fresh every week. He served as postmaster | Roumania Slipping. From the Altoona Times. It seems evident that the next neutral | country to go over to the allies will be Roumania. The only reason she hasn't joined them already is said to be a desire to harvest her grain before plunging into i the conflict. The crops in all the Balkan i states except Serbia, whose agriculture | has been prostrated by the war, are said | to be bountiful. It may be that similar considerations , are holding back Bulgaria and Greece, "although their problems are more com- ‘ plicated. It is even possible that those two nations will remain neutral through- out the war. As for any of the three joining the Germanic allies, there seems * not the slightest possibility of it. The most German diplomats hope foris to prevent their ranging themselves with their enemies. ! | - The latest move in Roumania shows "clearly which way the war wind is blow- ing. Turkey is seriously short of ammuni- tion, and the Constantinople campaign may hinge on her getting supplies quick- ly. Germany is reported to have forward- | ed thousands of cars loaded with muni- tions, confident that Roumania would let ! them pass through. But Roumania held j them all up at her border, where they | are now congesting the Austrian rail: ways. Cars that happened to pass the frontier were seized and the contents confiscated. The Germans have tried to ship rifles concealed by false sides and | bottoms in freight cars, but the Rouman- ians have foiled that ruse. - Shipments of German beer to Constantinople have been . stopped since the Roumanians found the beer kegs filled with cartridges and shells. Roumania’s decision seems not to be affected by the present discouraging plight of the allies. Like Italy, she is planning to join them when their for- tunes are low, particularly Russia's. It cannot be said, therefore, that she is picking a “sure winner” and aiming to share the spoils of victory with little ef- fort. She seems actuated less by the expectation tha? the allies will win than by fear that, without her help, Austria and Turkey —her natural enemies—might win. Like Italy, she doesn’t dare to take the risk of a Teuton victory. Brumbaugh’s Blunder. From the Public Ledger. plied Philadelphia had a right to expect better things of Governor Brum than that ers of his high office mere pawns in the selfish game of politics now being pla ed by the: bosses, of . this. Gifs. ‘the issue, the selection of ex-Postmaster Thomas B. Smith to be'a member of the Public Service Commission would have been a flagrant blunder; but under the circumstances of the appointment, it be- comes something far more serious. Smith is absolutely without the essential qualifications called for by the office into which he has been catapulted. The cor- respondence between the Governor and Mr. Smith leaves no loophole for escape from the conclusion that one of the most important offices in the gift of the Goy- i ernor has not only been unworthily filled, but has been used to serve a sinister pur- pose. Why did Governor Brumbaugh deem it necessary to explain to Mr. Smith that Congressman Vare and Senator Vare were his political sponsors for the com- missionership? Why was it necessary to drag into the offer a reference to the Mayoralty or to exact a pledge that Mr. Smith would stick to the office that was tendered him? Governor Brumbaugh’s participation in a transaction of this sort will be a sad disappointment to thousands of his fel- low-citizens who found in his veto rec: ord during the last session an earnest of higher ideals and who believed that he was incapable of “playing politics” of the too familiar Philadelphia gang type. If the Governor cherishes political ambi- tions he has taken the most effective 1 means of destroying whatever chances he may have had to be regarded as a Possine Hptor BH national polities. By tying himself to the ‘“‘piggery politics” o the South Philadelphia bosses he has placed upon himself a brand which he will find it extremely difficult to erase. The Cost of War.
