Go, ‘hear him. —Anyway the Suffragists have some consolation in knowing that those Den- ver women sold their votes for theatre tickets rather than half-pints. —The Kaiser’s troops having reached Constantinople the Gallipoli peninsula will seem more like the proverbial hot cake than ever to the attacking Allies. ——Waiting a year under the provis- | ions of the treaties is all right, as a rule, . but there ought to be a provision that the offence is not repeated meantime. —With snow flakes flying and the mercury near the freezing point all day Monday reminded us that winter is! ready to butt in at the first real oppor- tunity. . ——1It may be worth while to notice that though this country is supplying food and clothes to Belgium, Germany is levying tribute upon those unfortunate people and collecting it. —Americans took thousands of Turks prisoners yesterday when the first real offensive movement was begun. By Christmas day it is expected that their conquest will be complete. —The German armies in Russia are to be clothed all in white during the win- ter. It is hoped that they can thus pro- ceed in the snow without being such a good target for the Russians. our leading business men sprawling in the Diamond on Saturday had neither license tag nor its tail lights lit.

The trouble is that the fellow who won’t work is invariably the one who makes a lot of others believe that work is hard to get. —All employees of the State, counties, | boroughs, townships come under the pro- visions of the workman’s compensation act. While the department has ruled that civil divisions are not required to take out compensation insurance they are subject to the requirements of the law just the same. —Whatever else may be said of evan- gelist LEE STARKE, who is conducting a revival service in the Methodist church here, he can’t be accused of issuing fake passports into Heaven. His sermon Sun- day morning went to the very roots of the doctrine of regeneration and left con- viction in the mind of the thinking man or woman in the pew that while his methods may be modern his teaching is the simple, old-fashioned gospel of the Bible. —It was only a little thing, that re- covery of a woman's hat from Spring creek Sunday afternoon by a well-set-up looking young man who saw the wind whisk the bit of head-gear into the water. But how many boys do you know who would have laughed at the woman’s dilemma and had no thought of an at- tempt to relieve it? You might not think there are any, but we have seen plenty of them. Here was the fellow with the good red blood of sympathy and helpful- ness coursing through his veins who just naturally went to the relief of that woman’s distress. It was little, of course, but he would have been there with the same impulse had it been great. Real manhood works that way. ~ —Congressman MANN, the Republican leader in the last Congress, is evidently preparing to play the game of politics against the President’s desire to have the matter of our national defenses settled outside of partisanship. He has prac- tically announced his ultimatum to the effect that unless some concessions in other directions are made his party can- not be depended upon to join hands with the administration in putting through its program. From our point of view pre- paredness is a national question, not a political issue. It presents itself to the American people, as either an emergency or a bugaboo, without having been dis- cussed or thought of at the time plat- forms were being written and principles enunciated. Naturally there is a division of opinion as to whether we need prepare or not, but it is economic rather than political and Congressman MANN reveals his unfitness for the position he holds by trying to make it a means to partisan ends. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL 60. Demagogy Running Rampant. | — i re | | Representative JAMES R. MANN, of | Chicago, floor leader of the Republican minority in the House of Representatives in Washington, practically rejects the President’s invitation to a conference upon the proposed legislation to increase the defensive facilities of the country. With the purpose of divesting the subject of partisanship, President WILSON invited Senators and Representatives in Congress who have influence in framing legisla- tion, without respect to party affiliation, to confer with him. All those so honored graciously responded until Mr. MANN i was invited. He imagined that the in- cident presented an opportunity to ex- ploit himself and replied that he is “not willing to take orders from the President on legislation.” Mr. MANN is a Chicago “roughneck,” | who probably never performed a politic- i al act except under orders. In inviting him to conference the President probably had no thought of giving him orders on legislation or anything else. As minority leader he will necessarily participate in the discussions on the floor of the “pre- paredness” legislation. In view of that fact the President deemed it fit and ap- propriate that he should be invited to a conference where and when he would have opportunity to get at first hand the President’s ideas and with equal freedom and frankness present his own ideas and suggestions. It was a compliment far beyond anything Mr. MANN deserved, and as his response indicates, as infinite- I ly out of reach of his appreciation. | The question of preparation for de- | fense or war is not a partisan problem. | clared the Republican party was in con- | trol of all of the departments of govern- : ment and party lines were instantly and { absolutely eliminated from both cham- , bers of the Congress. President McKIN- LEY declared his plans and every Demo- jcrat in both branches of the National { Legislature promptly and cheerfully voted approval. But now that a similar prop- ! osition is urgently protruding itself upon | the attention of Congress, cheap demago- gues like MANN, of Chicago, try to make | party capital out of the unfortunate con- | dititions. But the incident will not in- terfere with the progress of the Presi- dent’s plan. Patriotism will quickly run | such opposition down. —-— —Mr. PERKINS will put a National ticket in the field next year even if he has to run for President himself. But whether he runs or not he will have to pay the bills. Another “Richmond” in the Field. Political life in Pennsylvania is just one surprise after another. The latest is the information from Philadelphia that W. A. MAGEE, of Pittsburgh, and a member of the Public Service Commis- sion is a candidate for United States Senator. The other candidates for the Republican nomination for that office are former Secretary of State PHILANDER C. KNox and E. V. BABCOCK, also of Pittsburgh. KNOX is a great law- yer and MAGEE is somewhat of a politi- cian. BABCOCK is a very rich man. If he has anything else to recommend him it has escaped public notice. Probably no other qualification is required. The machine needs money badly and the sources of supply are diminishing in number. The announcement of MAGEE’S candi- dacy is surprising mainly because of its obvious purpose. He has no more desire to become a Senator in Congress than Colonel ROOSEVELT has te become presi- dent of the Peace-at-any-Price society. But his candidacy might have a poten- tial influence on the fight between PEN- ROSE and BRUMBAUGH for control of the Pennsylvania delegation to the National convention. PENROSE is under obliga- tions to KNOX for essential help in the fight last year but he would probably prefer BABCOCK as his colleague for the reason that the rich lumberman would not interfere much with his business as party boss and dispenser of spoils. KNOX wouldn't pay much attention to party patronage either, but he would over- shadow PENROSE in point of ability. On the other hand MAGEE’s candidacy indicates an organized and energetic effort in the western end of the State in behalf of BRUMBAUGH'S ambition to con- trol the National convention delegation. If the VARES realize their expectations with respect to the new Mayor of Phila- delphia and MAGEE takes hold in Pitts— burgh as he could if a caddidate for Sen- ator, PENROSE'S mastery of the party machine would become exceeding dubious. He is a resourceful politician but MAGEE is also a shrewd operator in the game and the reorganization of the old MAGEE-FLINN machine would stir things up mightily. In any event this announcement is fraught with interest _ BELL EFONTE, PA.. NOVEMBER 26, 19 - a - Making a Donkey of Itself. | The Penrose-Brumbaugh Fight.

If for no other reason he ought to be kindly remembered by Pennsylvania, for it was he who characterized the Republican ma- chine as “a criminal conspiracy.” But we are not able to figure out why the Philadelphia Union League should be so anxious to have Mr. RooT run for President. It is true that it was mem- bers of that organization who employed him to make the investigation of the Pennsylvania Republican machine which culminated in his severe but happy char- acterization of it. But ever since that time the same machine has been leading the members of the League about by the nose and compelling them to vote for candidates worse than any in machine favor at that time. It is certain, there- fore, that ROOT is not favored by the League because of his denunciation of the machine. He is favored for some other reasson. There is no ordinary reason for the preference, it may be added. ROOT isa capable and industrious corporation law- yer but all the other candidates for the Republican Presidential nomination are quite as favorable to corporations. Sena- tor PENROSE, of Pennsylvania, is said to be head of the corporation lobby in the Senate and Senator BURTON is equally close in his relationship to corporations in and about Cleveland, Ohio. Senator WEEKS, of Massachusetts, the next in line among “those mentioned” is a stock broker in Boston and his fortune as well as his life is tied up in corporation inter- ests.

Senator Penrose’s denial that he had authorized the statement that he is to be a candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for President of the United States did not deny that he may be possessed of the lofty ambition to become the nomi- ‘nee. His carefully worded statement, issued from Denton, Texas, while repu- diating the earlier story from San An- { tonio that he had said he would be a can- . didate, did not say that he has no inten- tion of becoming a candidate at a later date, but on the contrary left a very strong impression on the minds of those who read the statement that he has such an intention. At least his Denton state- , ment puts him in a position where he ; can consistently become a candidate for ! the nomination should cofllitions frame themselves up favorably for him. We doubt not that Senator Penrose is well enough satisfied that the impression { that he would be a candidate if the op- | portunity came his way has been spread pretty widely throughout the country as | the result of the publication of the re- port of his candidacy along with hii denial merely that he authorized such announcement. The senior Senator from Pennsylvania is wise enough to know that in these modern days the people of | a party like at least to think they are | chosing their own candidates for public | ; office,—especially the Presidency. He | may perhaps recall what happened to the Republican party in 1912 after a can- didate for President was nominated by i thé steam roller process and if so that may explain his insistence in his state- ment yesterday that “the question of a nominee will be quite unsolved until the convention has acted,” to which, inci- dentally, he added: “Some of the great- est Republican Presidents have been of . such convention nominations.” . We repeat, in effect, that the significant thing about the Senator’s denial that he has announced himself a candidate for | the nomination is that it did not say that | he is averse to being nominated. He is | thus left in the position to accept the; ' nomination if it should be “thrust” upon i him. v Stealing American Trade. | From the Altoona Times. i German-Americans engaged in foreign : business have a legitimate grievance | against Great Britain. Many such citi- zens, some of them German in no re- spect but their names, have been put on the British blacklist, particularly in the | Far Eastern trade. Their shipments of goods from China, Siam and various other parts of the Orient are held up indefinitely. In part, this discrimination appears to be due to genuine British fear and hatred of all things German. A British boycott on German goods and a blacklist of Ger- man business men has been established in every quarter of the world.

Both legs were brok- en and an eye was knocked out. —Tripped by a calf he was tying, John Got- wals, of Yerkes, Montgomery county, nearly lost his life as he fell, stru~k his head against a stone wall and was unconscious ten hours. —Augustus Bachinger, of Bloomsburg, a trav. eling man known throughout central Pennsylva- nia, dropped dead while standing at the writing desk in the postoffice at Bloomsburg on Satur- urday. —Judge Francis J. O'Connor, who recently had a portion of one leg amputated, will leave Johns- town’s Mercy hospital for his own home within the next few days. He has been improving steadily. —Seventy-five men employed in the Westover tannery walked out a few days ago, not being satisfied with the five per cent. raise in wages. The places of the strikers have been taken by men brought from Pittsburgh. —The Johnstown schools have been accorded honors at the Panama-Pacific exposition for the work shown in the exhibit. They are one of the thirteen schools to receive this honor, which re- flects great credit on the faculty. —An individual of Austrian birth who now re- sides in Mifflin county, has created something of a sensation among the folks who are his neigh- bors by taking to himself a new wife, less than three weeks after the death of his former wife. —In a month four employees at the Couders- port tannery have been stricken with anthrax. The latest is Melville Covey, who has been op- erated on at Falls Creek, where a famous special- ist in this kind of poisoning lives. His condition is not critical. —Tyler, Clearfield county, folks are somewhat excited over the alleged elopement of a widow resident of that place, leaving behind her five children, one of whom is but seven years old while the eldest, a girl of seventeen, hasibeen em - ployed in DuBois. —Because of the great rush of orders in the millls at the Burnham steel plant, men are unable to get board in Lewistown for “love or money.’ Hotels long closed are being reopened.

Tener did, is to be dismissed from his place as marshal of the Public Service Commis- sion, according to rumors at the capitol. The job pays $2,000 a year. —Martin Luther Snyder, a Sunbury lawyer, who admits that he owns twenty-two houses and five farms and is estimated by other lawyers to be worth $1,000,000, lost a suit in the Northumber- land county court for a labor claim of $19.90 that was four years old. Samuel Conrad and David Gottschal, Sunbury, were the plaintiffs. —A black fox, supposed to be extinct in Penn- sylvania, and whose fur is worth from $1,000 to $1,660, was seen in Tioga county by Mr. and Mrs. William E. Mumaw, of Hazleton, while gunning for pheasants. They brought back 25 of the birds, but missed the black hide, although one of their party fired a shot that knocked the fox over, but it got to its feet again and escaped. —During the prevalence of a wind storm in In- diana county toward the close of last week big trees were blown down, roofs from barns were taken completely off, signs went hurtling down | the streets of the county capital and telephone lines suffered greatly. The large barn of Pres- ton Douglass, near Blairsville, was demolished and all his cattle and horses killed except one cow. —J. M. Turner, aged 87, one of the pioneer coal operators and bankers of Blairsville, was almost instantly killed Wednesday morning near his home near Blairsville when he was run ovsr by a train on the Indiana branch of the Pennsyl- vania railroad. He was crossing the tracks at a private crossing that led to his farm when the accident happened. He is survived by three children. —A swarm of bees which were being brought from Trout Run to Williamsport, in possession of some hunters who had captured them, played havoc with the passengers when they emerged from the paste-board box in which they were confined, when brought into the warmth of the coach. The conductor came to the rescue and hurled the box out of the window and the other bees soon followed suit. —The Van Ormer Coal and Coke company, which has had its general offices at Boston, has moved its headquarters to Altoona. The Van Ormer interests have large operations at Van Ormer along the Cresson and Clearfield branch of the Penpsylvania railroad, the daily produc- tion of its mines being about 1,000 tons. The Al- toona offices will be in charge of B. C.

The newly acquired property will be a valuable addition to this corporation’s holdings located at Sandy Ridge, Blue Ball, Claysburg. Karthaus, Olive Hill, Ky., Hitchins, Ky., and Danville, Ill. The plant has a capacity of 80,000 bricks per day, which may be increased a little later on. —Announcement was made on Monday that Charles M. Schwab has secured control of the Danville Structural Tubing company and that a new steel mill, to cost $600,000, will be erected on .the ground purchased near the plant. C. S. Wagner, a nephew of the steel magnate, and T. J. Price, of Danville, were associated with Mr. Schwab in the deal. When completed the new plant will employ about 1,000 men and enough orders, chiefly munitions of war, have been se- cured to keep it running continuously for two years, according to the announcement. —There are now stored in the Hollidaysburg classification yards of the Pennsylvania railroad, and on the Petersburg branch, over 2,000 cars, loaded with goods for the warring nations of Eu- rope. The storage is made necessary because not enough vessels are engaged in foreign trade to carry the goods rapidly, hence the slow prog- ress in getting the cars to seaboard. The goods on the cars are of a varied character, but most of it is the product of American Steel mills, being the parts of steel cars, bridge iron, tubing and all such matter. Many curious people daily look over the stuff, —For twenty years Miss Grace Derr, of Tur- bottville, Northumberland county, has looked nightly ‘under her bed before retiring, fearing she would finda man there. Last Friday night the unexpected happened. After she had don- ned her night dress and was preparing for sleep, she looked under the bed in a perfunctory sort of a way, and there the man, long-looked for, lay on the floor. She screamed loud and long and faint- ed, and the man made a break for the door. Miss Derr’s cries brought neighbors and Albert Shade was arrested. He was held for the December term of Northumberland county court. It is al leged that he forced an entrance through a down- stairs door while the family was away. He de- clared he only wanted a place to sleep and did not mean any harm.
