Strengthening Our Defensive Forces.
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.
By Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a
Republican body, the Judiciary of the Commonwealth has been taken out of

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.

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.
