The administration programme for strengthening the National defensive forces will cost a lot of money and about this time next year the newspapers and politicians which are now demanding vastly greater expenditures will be de- nouncing the Democratic party in vigor- ous terms for profligacy. But the ex- penditures are inevitable. During the nearly two decades in which the Repub- lican party has had entire control of the government our defensive equipment has been allowed to degenerate to such an extent that under existing circumstan- ces remedial action is necessary and how- ever expensive must be taken, not in a leisurely manner, but speedily and ef- fectively. ; If the money appropriated to the Na- vy department during the administra- tions of ROOSEVELT and TAFT had been honestly and intelligently employed there would be little, if any, necessity for extraordinary activities now. No country in the civilized world has spent as much money for naval equipment and maintenance within the fifteen years pre- vious to the inauguration of WOODROW WILSON as the United States. Yet our dreadnaughts are inadequate, our sub- marines practically worthless and the torpedo boats and cruisers inferior to those of the other world powers. These unfortunate facts compel a considerable increase of appropriations for the navy this year and the public will approve the necessary legislation to that end. It is noted with satisfactio~ by thoughtful citizens that the plan for bet- terment though amply elaborate is fair- ly conservative. That is to say the sug- gestions of the jingoes and other ene- mies of the administration for hysterical action are completely ignored and such expenditures as may be made without greatly increasing the burdens of the people are contemplated. In ordinary times even these plans might be modi- fied to some extent, but in view of * exist- ing conditions it will probably be safer and saner to follow the lines laid down by the Secretary of the Navy and his colleague in the Cabinet, the Secretary of The Reason. Several persons have inquired as to the reason why the WATCHMAN has not put the name of Hon. ELLIS L. Orvis, candidate for President Judge, at the head of the county ticket always published during a campaign. While the reason should be apparent to everyone it is quite evident that it is not, therefor we take this opportunity of making it public. The WATCHMAN is a Democratic publication. It is its duty, therefor, to carry at its mast-head the nominees of the Democratic party and them only.

[Published by request. ] For the Benefit of the Curious People of Bellefonte. The will of the late R. A. Beck, “does not” compell his widow to live in Belle- fonte and school her children here.

SWEITZER. — Mr. and Mrs. William Sweitzer, of Coleville, are mourning the death of their four year old daughter Leah, who died on Sunday after only two days illness with membraneous croup. Private burial was made in the Union cemetery on Monday afternoon, Rev. Yocum holding brief services at the ‘grave. politics and made non-partisan. Whatever might have been the motive of the dominant party in enacting such legislation the WATCHMAN believes that it will eventuate for the public welfare if the public takes advantage of both the letter and the spirit of the law. In the primary campaign the WATCHMAN was absolutely nen-partisan. It ac- cepted and published the announcements of every aspirant who desired to use its advertising columns. In its editorial columns it treated them with equal fairness. In fact its strict impartiality will be attested by everyone of its readers. The decision of the voters of the county was rendered at the primaries with- out having been influenced by a single partisan utterance from this paper. And those who might be expecting a partisan utterance, now that the candidates have been named, will be disappointed. The course of the WATCHMAN is clear. It would be inconsistent to place the name of a non-partisan nominee at the head of a partisan publication and if others elect to drag politics into it the WATCHMAN does not propose to be a party to the violationof what it regards as a most salutary law. We have a right, however, to advocate the election of such non-partisan nominees as, in our judgment, are best qualified to fill the offices they aspire to. By virtue of that right the WATCHMAN unhesitatingly advises all of its read- ers, who are voters in Pennsylvania, to vote for the Hon. GEo. B. ORI ADY, of Huntingdon county, a Republican, who is seeking his third term in the Superior court of Pennsylvania. It advises them to vote for the Hon. JOHN B. HEAD, of Westmoreland county, a Democrat, who is seeking his second term in the same court. Because both of these gentlemen are eminent jurists and have rendered the State signal service on the bench. For the same reason the WATCHMAN advises all of its readers who are voters in Centre county to vote for the Hon. ELLIS L. ORVIS for president Judge. It does this not because Judge ORvVIS is a Democrat, but because it knows that he is the one best qualified to render the peculiar service that is required of a Judge. The fact that he is a candidate for a second term should not sway any reason- able person. Is not Judge ORLADY seeking his third term, and he was given a tremendous primary vote in all parts of the State, Absolutely nothing should enter into the mind of the voter who regards his ballot as the sacred expression of his truest citizenship but the ability of the men who are seeking this all important position. The very demeanor of Judge ORVIS is judicial. He is profound in the law be- cause he has been a student of the law since young manhood. His library, possi- bly the best in Bellefonte, has been his regular retreat because his mind craved knowledge when others of us have devoted our leisure moments to more frivolous occupations. He has been a splendid Judge and the voters of Centre county will serve their own interests best by re-electing him to the bench. Do Not be Discouraged. Determination being the strongest characteristic of woman’s nature, and in connection with the belief that “nothing is final,” the Centre county women should get much inspiration from the Philadelphia Record’s editorial, yesterday, on the outcome of the vote for the Wom- an’s Suffrage Amendment, at the special election held in New Jersey Tuesday. A surprising feature of the special election of Tuesday last in New Jersey was the large vote that was cast. , The total for and against the proposed Wom- an’s Suffrage amendment to tHe State Constitution was approximately 350,000. This is pretty nearly a full vote. The vote cast in the State at the general elec- tion of 1914 for Representatives in Con- gress by the two principal parties was only 346,441, and the total cast for mem- bers of the Assembly, including the vote of the minor parties, was under 375,000. Considering the lethargy which is usual- ly exhibited by the electors with respect to constitutional amendments, even when the vote is taken at a general election, the show of hands at the special election was remarkable. Almost equally surprising is the large vote (about 140,000) polled in favor of the amendment. It did not fall very far short of the vote obtained by Roosevelt for the Presidency in 1912 and came very close to the vote for Stokes for Governor in 1913. In this connection it should be remembered that the campaign was es- sentially a woman’s campaign. The or- ganized support of the amendment came exclusively from associations of women; 99 per cent. of the speakers who made the air ring with their oratory at a hundred street corners and cross-roads in every county of the State were women; and, in accordance with a special dispensa- tion of the law, a woman watcher sat in each ot the 1877 polling places from early morning until the ballots were counted. In view of the circumstances it was a re- markable feat for a political organiza- tion, the members of which have no vote, to achieve a result in its first campaign such as would have done credit to either of the greater parties. Under the conditions ordinarily attend- ing constitutional referendums the amendment would have been won in a walk, so to speak. It is doubtful wheth- er a constitutional amendment that has been carried ever received a larger pro- portion of the total vote than that cast in favor of woman's suffrage in New Jer- sey. =-But the attending conditions of this referendum were not the ordinary ones. While pretending to assume a non-parti- san attitude on the question, the Repub- lican county machines of the State were aligned in opposition almost unanimous- ly. One or two Democratic factional leaders had openly avowed their opposi- tion and worked almost as strenu- ously as the Republican bosses to defeat the amendment; but the power behind the antis was mainly that of the reactionary and machine-controlled ele- ment of the G. O. P. and of the interests allied with it. It was loudly asserted that the extension of the voting privi- lege to women in the Suffrage States had not made for cleaner politics, but the gangsters evidently put no faith in their own pronouncements to this effect. Their action, on the contrary, betrays a fear that, given the ballot, the women might wield it as a broom in the “Augean sta- bles.” This fear and the antagonism of the professional politicians constitute strong arguments for continued efforts to achieve the opposed reform. The vote of New Jersey will be a disappoint- ment to many earnest women, but it should not prove a discouragement. Woman's suffrage is bound to come be- cause it is just and right. I ——— ~——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. The Non-Partison Ballot Law. The decision of the Dauphin county court, handed down on, Tuesday by Judge GEORGE KUNKEL, removes some of the objections to the non-partisan ballot for judicial offices. It directs the printing of six names on the official ballot for J udges of the Superior court, instead of three as Attorney General BROWN had interpret- ed the statute. It will hardly impair the chances of election of Judge Jonn B. HEAD and Judge GEORGE B. ORLADY. The expression of popular approval of those distinguished jurists at the prima- ry election practically guarantees their election in November. But it puts the Philadelphia machine candidate into competition with tkree other candidates. In the matter of councilmen for cities of the third class the construing of the law by Judge KUNKEL is equally satisfac- tory. It fulfils the requirements of the CLARK act which provided for eight candidates, four of whom are to be elect- ed. The interpretation of the Attorney General would have prevented this ob- vious measure of justice. In some of the cities one or more of the candidates re- ceived more than fifty per cent. of the votes cast. But the entire eight having the highest vote were entitled to a place on the ballot under the CLARK law and this decision vindicates their right. If the other interpretation had prevailed their names would not have been print- ed on the ballot. 3 ; Judge KUNKEL failed to pass upon the constitutional question involved, which is to be regretted, as that problem will have to be solved sooner or later. The new law alters or amends that provision of the CLARK law which declares that the eight having the highest vote at the primaries shall be printed on the official ballots. Each of the eight is thus invest. ed with a legal right which the new law takes away without complying with the requirements of the constitution in the matter of amending legislation. In one of the cases brought before the court this question was raised and it ought to have been disposed of and possibly it was for the full text of the decision has not been published.
