PERKINS has announced that ROOSEVELT will withdraw from the Presidential race if a “suitable substi- tute” can be found. Mr. PERKINS does not say, however, who is to pass upon the suitability of the substitute that may be found. Therein lies the joker. —Aside from the fact that PHILANDER C. KNOX is not acceptable to all elements of the Republican party as a Presiden- tial candidate, we are of the opinion that he can’t be nominated for the pure- ly political reason that Pennsylvania is regarded as too certain a Republican State to waste a candidate on it. —Lieut. Commander CROFT, of the New York navy yard, has an idea. He thinks it would be possible to run the English blockaders and camry milk to the babies in the central empires of Europe in submarines specially built for the pur- pose. Now wouldn’t that be putting the submarine to a new and very useful pur- pose. —The announcement of the appoint- ment of a postmaster for Bellefonte about concludes the distribution of polit- ical plums in Centre county. There are no more places of importance to be filled, so those of the faithful who had expec- tations have nothing else to do than set- tle down and be good until we re-elect WooDRrow then, maybe, they will get a taste of the pie. —One of our local churches has a question box in which any of its mem- bers may place written questions bear- ing on matters of general interest. They are then taken out and answered, when possible, by the pastor. One of the ques- tions recently found in the box was this one: “Why do certain of the clergy wear collars fastened in the back like a horse?” In giving the answer the pastor acknowledged that he knew of no real reason why they did unless it was to dis- tinguish them from the ass who would ask such a question. We are forced to score a big one for the clergyman who gave this clever reply right hot off the griddle. —Did you ever stop to think that the cow that you could have bought for forty dollars fifteen years ago would have cost you from seventy to ninety today. And that the bran you would have fed her then could have been bought for twelve dollars the ton, while today it is selling for twenty-eight. These are rather start- ling facts when we set them over against the other one that the milk that the cow would have produced fifteen years ago sold for five cents the quart while today it is bringing only one cent more. Some farmers don’t realize it, others won't be- lieve it, but it is none the less true that about all most of them are actually get- ting out of their cows is the fertility they add to the land. : —The growing tendency of the Ameri- can people to go off half cocked would be an alarming thing were it not for that sober second thought that so often comes to the rescue. We are not presenting arguments for or against preparedness, but isn’t it a fact, now isn’t it, that if there hadn’t been any European war we probably wouldn't have heard a breath of agitation about a larger army and a larger navy? And we also believe that if England hadn’t brought up the matter of conscription at all we wouldn't now be hearing the same thing so seriously talked of for our own country. Really, it is beginning to look as though any- thing can be started in these glorious old United States. All that is coming to be Demorrait atc, popular favor. needed is the fool starter. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 61. BELLEFONTE, PA.. JANUARY 21, 1916. NO. 3. Republican Senatorial Candidate Chosen. So far as the Republicans are concern- ed the candidate for Senator in Congress for Pennsylvania, to succeed Senator OLIVER, has been chosen. PENROSE, BAB- €0CK, BRUMBAUGH and the VARES have declared for ex-Senator, ex-Attorney General and ex-Secretary of State, PHIL- ANDER C. KNOX, of Pittsburgh and Val- ley Forge, and each of them is trying to enter a mortgage against him. Of course he is PENROSE’S man, so far as owner- ship goes, but not exactly in the sense that PENROSE will control his official 'ac- tion. Justice and candor compel the opinion that no man will control KNOX. But he came to the front for PENROSE two years ago, when presence of courage and absence of conscience were necessa- ry to that service, and PENROSE came to him first this year. . Senator PENROSE couldn’t have found a more congenial colleague in the State. He couldn’t have found a man in this broad Commonwealth more suitable to his purposes as Master Mechanic of the machine. Mr. KNOX will have no inter- est in patronage and no concern in poli- tics. Any other colleague who might have been chosen would probably have set up claim to a voice in determining which aspirant for local leadership should be chosen in this section of the State or that and thus to some extent bother the main boss. But KNOX won’t do anything of that kind. He will vote in the Senate for whatever measures and policies the caucus frames up and will look wise, wear the Senatorial toga with dignity and decorum and give PENROSE free rein | in running the party machine. The endorsement of the KNOX ambi- tion by BILL FLINN, the ROOSEVELT purse holder in Pennsylvania, may have aston- ished the uninitiated and casual obsery- er. But itis not surprising. Like PER- KINS, BILL FLINN is a Progressive only in name and for a purpose. PHILANDER C. KNOX represents the FLINN brand of Progressive more completely than any other man in Pennsylvania. He is one of the most resourceful corporation law- yers in the country and can discover more ways for corporate evasion of laws | and penalties than any other lawyer. ! ROOSEVELT suits PERKINS and FLINN bet- | ter, of course, for he simply revokes any | law that interferes with corporations he favors. But the difference is only that between an artist and a whitewasher. KNOX is smoother. ——The more the subject is analyzed the more certain it becomes that the only man RoOSEVELT will support for President is THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Not a Wise Suggestion. The suggestion which comes from Washington that Secretary of Labor WiLLiAM B. WILSON be nominated for United States Senator by the Democrats of Pennsylvania will hardly meet with Mr. WILSON represents nothing that is historical or traditionary in the Democratic party in this State. When he didn’t know which party he be- longed to and didn’t care much, the Dem- ocratic organization of the State’ took him up and elected him to Congress. That probably determined his political affiliation and the organization re-elected him. Whileenjoying the fruits of the or- ganization favor, however, he turned against those who had helped him and maligned the leaders whenever opportun- ity offered. After having succeeded in a conspiracy to destroy the Democratic organization which had given him a small “place in the sun,” he became a candidate for re-elec- tion to Congress under: the auspices of a selfish and incompetent machine, and was defeated. Then for some inscrut- able reason he was appointed to a seat in the Cabinet of the Democratic Presi- dent. He was alame duck, of course, and had to be taken care of. The labor organization of which he had been a paid officer previous to his election to Con- gress had repudiated him, and then there was nothing left for him but an office. The reorganizers were all hungry for office. XZ With Mr. KNOX as the Republican can- didate for Senator a.Democratic nomina- tion is a forlorn hope. But it is a high honor, nevertheless, and should be be- stowed upon some gentleman of charac- ter and ability. There are plenty of such within the ranks of the Democrats of Pennsylvania and to suggest WILLIAM B. WiLsoN for the office is a crime against the integrity of the party and an insult to the intelligence of the voters of that faith. The party can be rejuvenated and restored to its former hopeful place in political life but thatresult can be achiev- ed only by repudiating the professional office seekers. ——The English cabinet ought to take a large dose of salts. It needs move- ment. Trouble in the Republican Camp. The Republican leaders are certainly having all sorts of troubles this year. In addition to a factional £ght of intense bitterness over the delegates to the Na- tional convention, there are certain to be battles-royal over the nomination of State candidates. Three aspirants are already in the field for Auditor Genera and they represent three firing lines. There are the same number for State Treasurer and they are already establish- ed in trenches. So far as information is attainable BRUMBAUGH and the VARES will support the same candidates and PENROSE and McNICHOL will be on the | opposite side in every instance. The con- "test for member of the Congressional Committee was a compromise and signi- | fied nothing. | The candidates thus far entered in the | race for Auditor General are President pro tem of the State Senate CHARLES H. ! KLINE, of Pittsburgh, who will probably | have the PENROSE O. K. stamped all over { him. But Senator CHARLES A. SNYDER, of Schuykill, has been a servile follower of | the machine and servicable, and he wants the same nomination. The BRUMBAUGH candidate will be Speaker of the House, CHARLES A. AMBLER, one of those pretended reformers who are al- ways ready to perpetrate any crime in the name of righteousness; The candi- dates for State Treasurer are not so easy to tag. Representative WOODWARD, of Allegheny county, is friendly to both sides. There will be quarrels over local nom- inations, of course, and the Senator and more or less. nor will not cut much figure in the con- test of this year. He is working hard, however, and employing every available device and by another year with the help the VARES and his appointees can give him he may make serious trouble for the Senator. But on the other hand conditions may turn in the other direction within the next couple of years. Hypoe- risy doesn’t wear well in politics and it od of a gubernatorial term. -———Mr. GEORGE W. PERKINS says that “the question of finding the one man who can bring together the two anti- Democratic National parties is only a question of negotiation. Precisely. ' And Mr. PERKINS’ entire political philosophy is a question of dollars and cents. Senator Penrose’s Plans and Policies. At a dinner at the Manufacturer’s Club, Philadelphia, on Saturday evening, Senator Penrose outlined, presumably by authority, the present policies of the Re- publican party and its plan of campaign for this year. He assumed at the out- set of his speech that all present were Re- publicans and he was probably right. Allithose who participated in BELSHAZ- ZER’S feast were Babilonians and a Dem- ocrat at the Manufacturer's club would be as much out of place as a Bethlehem- ite at the other banquet. But if the Sen- ator expected his communication to be confidential he has been disappointed. It got into the papers. : High protective tariff is to be the domi- nant note in the Republican platform, ac- cording to the Senator, and the delinquen- cies of President WILSON the basis of ac- cusation. “Deplorable conditions have been brought about under the WILSON ad- ministration by sheer incompetency,” he declared, and “the army and navy is demoralized and the condition of our treasury is one that the American people have yet to learn in all its horrible truth, These are startling statements but happi- ly they are unverified. If the people had already learned “the horrible truth,” it would be awful. But they haven't. From Maine to California people are la- boring under the impression that condi- tions are exceedingly prosperous. But Penrose will tell us all about it. He knows the difference be*ween a baby ing man imagines that increasing wages and plenty of work are signs of prosperity, our great statesman will cheerfully as- sure him of ‘the contrary. Idle factories, silent mills, empty dinner pails and clear- ing house certificates for currency, as we suffered with in 1907 under a Republican administration and high protective tariff, represents what PENROSE believes to be prosperity and the return of that forbid- ding condition is what he will strive for. But the people are not fools though he holds high office. ——Possibly Senator PENROSE may be tamed down until he is willing to eat out of ROOSEVELT’s hand but it will be wise for Teddy to wear a glove during the op- eration. . ———For high class Job Work come to the WATCHMAN Office. the Governor will be drawn into them, But the indications are. that outside of the big cities the Gover- is certain to be revealed within the peri- coach and a locomotive and if any labor- Teaching Spanish in Colleges. | | During the recent Pan-American con- | gresses held in Washington, the inabili- | ty of American delegates to speak Span- lish or French and of the foreign dele- i gates to speak English greatly impaired ! the usefulness as well as the pleasure of ‘ the meetings. This fact influenced the ! Philadelphia Public Ledger to suggest that | some of our colleges “would make a vir- { tue of our National necessities and an- i nounce that it intended to make Span- | ish obligatory in all those courses which . bear on science, engineering and com- merce and on subjects related]to the needs of the great empires to the};South whose trade we are supposedly ready to exploit.” The point is well taken. Students of Pan-American affairs and interests have long since known that the greatest difficulty American manufactur- ers and exporters have encountered in their rather feeble efforts to gain the markets of Central and South America lies in the ‘inability of our traders and agents to speak the tongue of their pro- posed customers. Germany and France long ago set themselves to overcome this handicap, so far as their tradesmen were concerned. But all that has been done on our part, so far as the public is in- formed, is to talk about it and express regret that something is not done by somebody to. correct a grave commercial fault But that is not enough. Practic- al results are what are needed. It may gratify our esteemed Philadel- phia contemporary, however, to learn that the proper steps have already been taken at State College where a course in Spanish is part of the curriculum ‘and a very capable native Porto ‘Rican is one ‘of the teachers. The course i$ growing in popularity rapidly for more than sixty of the students are taking it. Mr. J. G. WHITE; a graduate of State College, and head of the J. G. WHITE engineering and London, has established two Spanish scholarships. He has extensive mining and public . utility enterprises in Central and South America and has always been able to make places for State College gr duates who appeal to him. © In fact there are evidences on every ‘hand of the high value in commerce and science of education in the Spanish lan- guage. No part of the earth offers as great attractions to enterprise as Central and South America and the most lucra- tive employment is always to be obtain- ed by those properly equipped who enter the field. State College has wisely taken an advanced step in this direction and the many friends of that great and pro- gressive institution, not only here but throughout the country, hope she will continue to progress along those lines. The course already organized is only a beginning, a good beginning to be sure. But it ought to be developed to the full measure. : ——Every individual connected with the Altoona Tribune deserves commen- dation for the splendid edition gotten out last Saturday as its sixtieth anniver- sary number. It contained 116 pages and was replete with historical articles | on Blair county, Altoona and surrounding towns, even stretching into Centre coun- ty. The Tribune is one of the WATCH- MAN'S most valued exchanges. It is pro- gressive and high class in every particu- lar. In fact it could not be otherwise with such men as Hon. Henry W. Shoe- maker and editor Schwartz at the head of it, and with our own John D. Meyer as treasurer. We congratulate the 77i- bune upon its enterprise and hope that its usefulness in Altoona will continue to grow during the next sixty years as it has in the past and that its material suc- cess will be proportionately great. —Council has taken a rather radical step in deciding to electrify the borough’s water pumping system. Electricity is much cheaper and much more efficient as power than steam. It is more efficient and more expensive than water, but since we do not have sufficient water power at command to do all the necessary pump- ing it will certainly prove more econom- ical to ‘do the work by electricity and ‘abandon, entirely, the combination of steam and water pumps now in use. Electrification will probably consolidate the pumping at the old plant, thus doing away with the rental of the Phoenix sta- tion. ——Montenegro has surrendered to Austria, and Serbia and Belgium are oc- forces.

House as Assistant to the President. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Colonel Edward M. House, assistant President of the United States! Such is the unique place occupied at Woodrow Wilson's right hand by the mysterious Texan who is on his second diplomatic trip to Europe at the request of his pal, the President. Next to the Chief Magistrate of the nation himself, it is safe to say that Ed- ward Mandell House is the most influen- tial man in the United States to-day. Although he holds no office and never has held any, he far outweighs Cabinet officers and bureau heads in Washington affairs. He may not be the power behind the presidential chair, but he is the power alongside of it. He is a figure without parallel in our political history. Other Presidents have had their inti- mate advisers. But Colonel House is un- like any of them. J The so-called “kitchen cabinets” of past Administrations have been. composed either of officeholders or seekers after presidential favor. : : Colonel House asks nothing for himself. He has more money than’'a man of his simple tastes could ever spend. He hates the limelight with an intensity that bears him from public office. He is neither philanthropist ‘nor « reformer. He rep- resents no interests at Washington either political or financial. Hi Then why does he play the political game? The answer to this question is as amazing as the man himself. Colonel House is connoisseur of politics. He is a new kind of|collector whogathers men and measures instead of Persian rugs, postage stamps or Pekinese dogs. Legislation, national policies, all the machinery of government-these things fascinate him. Heregardsthem with the same fond eye that the collector casts upon his treasures. Colonel House after his first mission abroad gave the President just what he wanted-a clear-cut view of the tangled situation in war-swept Europe. . He came back with no dreams or enthusiams on the subject of peace. Now he is going back again to train the white light of his intelligence on the new situations that have arisen since. The position in which he has been | placed by his latest commission from the President is even more amazing than the place he had filled before. When he em- barked on his first mission he denied the President had asked his services. But now he frankly admits that he is an un- official envoy and that he = will visit éthe _capitols of the warring nations. No other man in our political history has ever occupied just this place. It makes Colonel House virtually Woodrow Wilson's assistant in : the conduct of American affairs. Colonel House is one of the small, wiry men who do a great deal without any noise, his is a ball-bearing personality, he moves swiftly but withnever a squeak or a rasp. He was born 57 years ago at Houston, Tex., and he was notbornpoor. He went to Cornell and then went back home to add to the family fortunes in banking and land dealing. He made money as smoothly and si- lently as he has won his new power. He retired early in his forties and gave the bulk of his time to his strange hobby of political “collecting.” He became a familiar figure at Texas conventions. It was not lorig before his skill at political manipulation began to show itself, and soon the leaders learned to take his advice. Then a Texas gover- nor put him on his staff and he has been “coloneled” by his friends ever since. It is on record that he never wore a col- onel’s uniform. In fact no one can im- agine him to have any hankering for gold lace or buttons. : When the Democratic leaders were cast- ing about for presidential timber in 1911 Colonel House attended most of the im- » portant conferences. : And it was during this period that he came into closest contact with Wilson. His place as “assistant President” did not develop, however, until Wilson was in office and the Mexican reign of terror was creasing the presidential brow. It was then that Woodrow Wilson developed the habit of dropping in on Colonel House at New York. Slowly but surely since then the coun- try has come to realize that an absolutely new and unique figure has arisen in Ameircan politics. : There have been political “bosses” at the side of Presidents in the past. But Colonel House is no boss. He controls no votes, he can swing no district, coun- ty or State. He wouldn't if he could. He cannot be classified because there never has been any one quite like him. Therefore, he has been called “assistant President”-a new name for a new and puzzling figure. Straddling the Conscription Horse. From the Altoona Times. Great Britian is making a virtue of necessity and apparently is determined to accept compulsion with the best possi- ble grace. The government has remov- ed much opposition by mollifying its op- ponents. The Irish have been relieved of the provisions of the conscription measure, and labor has been assured that it shall not be employed to deprive them of industrial rights which have been gained after years of struggle. The re- cupied by the German and Austrian | gult is that those who did not want it will not be disturbed in their security ——Some of the conspirators who were blowing up American industrial plants tain VAN PAPEN but it was because they didn't advise the Captain of their activi- ties. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. | SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE. ~Chicken-pox threatens to become epidemic iin Cresson and several rooms in the public | schools have been closed for two weeks. | . —Hugh Jeffries, former chief of police of Du- Bois, has been appointed county detective for | Clearfield county by Judge Singleton Bell. i —Mrs. E.
