Secretary Knox Has Been ‘“Called.” The Republican managers are inclined to “call” former Secretary of State PHILANDER C. KNOX to the United States , Senate, according to current political gossip. “Mr. KNOX is needed in the Senate now, according to the big men of the corporations that are so powerful in this section of the country,” says a Pitts- burgh press dispatch. “Senator ROOT has retired,” continues this oracle of politics, “and a man of wide experience with foreign affairs and. trade conditions is essential to the Republican party,” and “therefore the ‘call’ is for KNOX.” The “men who supply the necessary cash to run great campaigns,” are responsible for and behind the “call,” and it is, there- fote, likely to be heard. Thisis a charmingly candid statement of the purposes and necessities of the Pennsylvania Republican machine. Sen- ator PENROSE is satisfied with the. plan, according to the same authority, as those “who are back of KNox are all his friends.” Originally he had different ideas in his mind. He had been grooming Senator CROW, of Fayette county, for the place, but CROW has been unfortunate. He was ‘caught in the J. V. THOMPSON crash,” the story goes and was crushed. In other words having lost his money his friends have abandoned him. The “men who supply the necessary cash to run great campaigns” have no time for financial cripples. Politicians “help those who help themselves.” Clear as this declaration of purpose is it leaves the public without important information that ought to be disclosed. What section of law, organic, statutory or common, confers upon corporations “that are so powerful” in Pittsburgh or elsewhere the right of representation on the floor of the United States Senate? The people are represented in the House of Representatives and the States in the Senate, but the corporations have no voice in either branch unless it is usurped. But the Republican party has bestowed this vast advantage upon the ‘corporations that are so powerful,” and as ROOT has retired it is not surprising that PHILANDER C. KNox has been “called.” ——Everybody loves a lover but that enticement wasn’t needed to make ra- tional citizens like WOODROW WiLson.

ESCAPED PRISONER CAPTURED.—Clyde Carney, who escaped from the western penitentiary at Rockview last Thursday morning, did not have long in which to enjoy his liberty, as he was captured on Tuesday afternoon while walking along the railroad between Greensburg and New Florence by on officer from the western penitentiary at Pittsburgh. When accosted Carney at first denied his identi ty but when confronted with a few solid facts admitted he was the man. How he managed to escape detection on his trip to the western part of the State is a mystery.

Ha Johnston Withdraws from Judgeship Race. BELLEFONTE, PA., Oct. 12, 1915. Dear Editor: : One week ago I accepted the call of the Centre County Temperance League in pursuance to their action taken prior and subsequent to the primaries to be an independent candidate for the office of Judge; this action on my part was taken in good faith and I considered it to be the only honorable thing for me to do. My mind has not been changed one iota as to what I consider for the best in- terests of our people, but owing to the inactivity of those who were presumed to assist in the campaign in various ways as well as the lack of unity of purpose of our church people I deem it advise- able to withdraw from the contest which I hereby do, as 1 do not feel warranted in attempting to carry the burdens with- out a hearty co-operation. My action hereby taken does not lessen my high appreciation of the worth and stability of those who supported me for personal reasons as well as those who stood by me manfully on account of their convictions for the principle of temper- ance, and to each assistant I hereby ex- tend my heartfelt thanks for their inter- est in me and the cause that we endeavor i to represent. Respectfully submitted, J. KENNEDY JOHNSTON. A STATEMENT FROM REV. CARSON. Mr. Johnston's withdrawal from the contest as a candidate for Judge needs no defense, even his political opponents concede this. It remains only for me therefore to make it known that his most ardent supporters, without exception, feel fully * warranted in ‘releasing him from further obligation to remain in the race. It is of course Very obvious that the emotions of his opponents and supporters are of an entirely different character. - Personally I feel that we have on the one hand exacted too much from Mr. | Johnston and on the other conceded too However, I am ‘aware that I am qualified to speak only for myself and must therefore content myself in regretting the unfruitful cam- paign which finally resulted in Mr. John- ston’s withdrawal. Yours very truly, WALTER FAY CARSON. VONADA—HARTER.—The home of Mr. and Mrs. William I. Harter, at Blanchard, was the scene of a pretty wedding on | Thursday evening of last week when their daughter, Miss Mary Harter, was united in marriage to William Vonada. Only near relatives witnessed the cere- mony which was performed by Rev. Walter L. Dudley, of the Disciple church. A wedding dinner and reception followed the ceremony and on Friday the young j.cotiple left on a wedding trip through New York State. Returning they will go to ‘housekeeping at Blanchard where the bridegroom is assistant in I J. Rohr- baugh’s flour and feed mill. oe ULRICH—HETZEL.—Charles M. Ulrich, of Coburn, and Miss Helen C. Hetzel, of Aaronsburg, were married on Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Stine, in Tyrone, Rev. H. W. Beiber performing the ceremony.

BELL—HOFFMAN.— On Wednesday of last week Calvin Earl Bell and Miss Martha Hoffman, both of Huntingdon, were married in Philadelphia. The bride- groom is a son of Mrs. CC. C.

Rossman and two sons, of Spring Mills drove down Pennsvalley in their Ford car for a little outing. In going through the Woodward Narrows they big Cadillac car. The driver of the latter car made no effort to stop but crashed into the rear of Rossman’s Ford, shoving it along quite a distance, finally tearing one of the wheels to pieces. There was one woman in the party and she proceed- ed to play the part of a tyro by telling the Rossmans that they ought to be ashamed to travel in a Ford, and had not the bumper on their car broken they would have done the little “road louse” up properly. The talk from the female virago so flustered Mr. Rossman that he could not keep his mind on his business long enough to take the license number of the big car, and in order to avoid trouble he settled promptly for a ten dol- lar bill, while his car was damaged to the extent of twenty-five dollars. ——Word has been received in Belle- fonte of the death of Mrs. Charles Rhone, which occurred about the middle of Sep- tember at their home in Alhambra, Cal. Mrs. Rhone and her four children had gone through an attack of typhoid fever during the summer and while all recov- ered it left Mrs. Rhone so weak in vi- tality that another illness resulted in her death.

Perhaps there never was a time in the history of old Centre county than the present, when loyal citizenship was more important than it will be at the coming election, One of Centre county’s noble sons hag. been placed in nomination to succeed himself as President Judge. Among the different officials to be se- lected at the November election there is none more important than the Judge. This position calls for a man who has not only a profound, extensive and accu- ! rate knowledge of the law, but who must possess an equitable and unbiased mind and .an impartial temperament. How plain to be seen, and how well are these elements developed in Judge Ellis L. Orvis, the people’s candidate for this office. He has been a successful’ judge the past eleven years and certain- ly has had the experience which will aid him in another term upon the bench. Judge Orvis’ knowledge of the law in- cludes a familiarity with all the authori- ties, and he not only knows the law but he knows where to find it and cite his quotations when the occasion demands: Before him wealth, social or business | standing of those pleading is a matter of absolute and complete indifference. Judge Orvis has the ability of keen per- ception, ripe judgment. and rapid deci- sion. He has been prompt in dispatch- ing the business of the cqurt, thus effect- ing a great saving in the expense to the i county. This is a feature that is too im- | | portant to be overlooked, and one of in- terest to the people at tion. 2 ; ‘The standard of exdellence surely comes nearest the‘ preconceived idea from one who has been tried on the bench the past eleven years, as has Judge Orvis. ' His learning is profound and his astuteness remarkable, while his un- daunted courage, perfect dignity and self possession, cool yet courteous manner and excellent good temper fits him as the proper person to fill this important position. The citizens of Centre county cannot afford to make the mistake of not returning him to ‘the bench. An! overwhelming vote for him will be an expression that will never be ‘regretted by the electors. _ Elect Judge Ellis L. Orvis and thus preserve the credit and dignity that has always been a characteristic of the Cen- tre county court. The duty of the elec- tor will in the main be clear and impera- + tive. It is the rule and ‘custom that all sitting judges should be retained in their places and re-elected as long as they. are capable of public service. Where a judge ‘the coming elec- were run into by a joy riding party in a | has been elected by the people and has served a term of judicial service accept- ably, with clear integrity, with adequate learning and. without ‘scandal or re- proach, it is our belief that irrespective of any political question, such judges should be returned to office. This is due, not alone to the incumbent, but to the | public interests. i A new Judge is always an unknown i and an untried quantity. For this rea. | son we advocate the return of Judge | Orvis. All good citizens should rally to the support of Judge Orvis and thus dem- onstrate that in at least one important civic duty they are not partisan, not the slaves of custom, not the. indifferent in. strumentalities of factions or bosses, but that they are clear headed, conscientious patriots who, when they have the oppor- tunity, can select upon merit alone an honest Judge to interpret the law and carry into practical operation the sacred principles of justice. ‘ J.

MAKING RIFLES FOR FRENCH GOVERN- MENT. — The following dispatch under date of October 12th will be of interest to many people in Bellefonte because the Mr. Moore referred to is the WwW. A. { Moore, so well known" here through hav- ing been president of the Nittany Iron company. The dispatch is dated North Tonawanda and says: The Palmer Specialty company of North Tonawanda was notified this morning that the French government has approved of the company’s contract to furnish it with 1,000,000 rifles and was directed to have its officers in New York on Thursday morning to close the con- tract for the big war order. Wallace G. Palmer and William A. Moore, president and treasurer of the company, will leave tomorrow morning for New York. This war order will result in a big boom for the Tonawandas. It will mean the building of a $1,000,000 factory be- sides utilizing all of the available build- ings here. Officers of the company an- nounced this morning that much will depend upon the co-operation of the ma- chinists and laborers in the Tonawandas as to whether the guns can be turned ‘out here ‘or parts’ manufactured else- where. The barrels of the guns, it is re- ported, will be manufactured in Buffalo. Just who is back of the company other than Mr. Palmer and Mr. Moore has not been made known, but it is reported that five of the largest manufacturers of Buf- falo are interested in the Palmer com- pany. The company filed a bond for $1,400,000 with its contract. ——Subscribe for the ‘WATCHMAN. Two of a Kind. From the Altoona Times.

Romance a la Cinderella. . Pretty Miss Edith Mervine of Phil- adelphia is only one of the millions of girls who have read the love story of Cinderella and then dreamed that their love story might be like unto it, But Miss Mervine is the one to whom the wish has been granted. Two years ago Miss Mervine lost her slipper at a dance at Atlantic City. Paul A. Kimmins of, Charleroi, Pa., found it on the dance floor. For sev- eral days the young man tried in vain to find the owner; he searched every- where, but his efforts were unsuccess- ful. Finally, by accident, he heard of .& young lady who had lost a slipper at a dance, and he called at her home to restore the tiny piece of footwear, The modern Prince Charming and the up-to-date Cinderella both under went the old, ojd experience of love at first sight. The fire did not dim, either, for they were married a few days ago, and, hidden in the center of the bridal bouquet, was a little satin slipper. Electric Rug Used for Advertising.
