& Demon atc BY P. GRAY MEEK. INK SLINGS. —Counting the last two days of last week and the first three of this well might we have been singing January is as pleasant as May. —With steel common back on the div- idend list there are a lot of people who have been wearing long faces since last October a year, who will look as happy as any of the “war brides.” —Col. HOUSE has arrived in Paris and the French news writers are all mad be- cause they could get nothing out of him but monosyllabic replies to the few ques- tions he stood fire for. That's Col. HOUSE. . —With gasoline at twenty-four cents the gallon the fellow who doesn’t own a motor hasn’t had the delightful sensation of worrying because JOHN D. and the other oil magnates are adding their little mite to the high cost of riding. —The Governor has granted a respite, until the week of February 21st, for PENNINGTON and MARCH, the Delaware county murderers, who were to have been electrocuted at the penitentiary on Wednesday. We believe it is to; afford time in which to make further examina- tion as to their mental condition. One of the condemned men is a Quaker and it is said that there has never} been a Quaker put to death by law in Pennsyl- vania. —The Hon. -ELLis L. Orvis has an- nounced that he is a candidate for dele- gate from this Congressional {District to the Democratic National convention in St. Louis. Centre county is entitled to one of the two representatives from the District and we know of no man who could be a more effective champion of President WILSON or a more creditable representative for the Democrats of the District than Judge ORvis. JOHN F. SHORT, of Clearfield, is also a candidate. —The Hon. CHARLES E, PATTON, Sec- retary of Agriculture for Pennsylvania, has announced in his weekly pressbulle- tin that there is “no cause for increasing lime prices.” Of course he means that the registration fee under the new law is so small as to be a negligible Jquantity in the cost of marketing lime. The Sec- retary knows, if he knows anything, that wages, powder and dynamite have all gone up and that there is scarcely a quarry in Pennsylvania where sufficient men can be secured to operate econom- ically. And knowing these facts he is doing the lime industry a positive injury by sending out bulletins. under headings calculated to impress farmers with the idea that there is “no cause for increas: ing lime prices.” And after getting that idea fastened in their minds, merely hinting “that it might be due to some other contingency.” —We can’t be born anymore unless a report is made to the registrar of vital statistics. We can’t have measles, mumps or whooping cough without the health officer telling us what we have to do about them. We can’t drink milk that a pure food officer has put his ban on. We can’t go to school unless we have been vaccinated and had a dentist, and ear specialist and an optometrist pass upon our eligibility. We can’t work until we are fourteen and then we can only work as long as the law tells us we can, notwithstanding the fact that we might want to work more. We can’t go into business until we have told some in- quisitorial State Department all about it and keep telling each year we are in it. We can’t make any money without tell- ing another Department how much and paying still another Department a share if it happens to be too much. And, be- ing sick and tired of it all, we can’t chuck the whole thing and die and be buried without getting the doctor's cer- tificate that we really have croaked and the undertaker won’t put us under until the officer who started all our troubles, the registrar of vital statistics, puts his final stamp to regulate us into the grave. Surely, life is just one regulation after another. —~Col. J. L. SPANGLER is a receptive candidate for member of the State com- mittee for Centre county. Some time " ago the WATCHMAN published a rumor that was abroad to the effect that the Colonel had such aspirations and while we knew nothing definite of his desires at that time we have learned since that he would deem it an honor should the Democrats of Centre county unite on him as their representative in the state organization. In casting over the field of men available for this duty we have discovered no one so admirably fitted as Col. SPANGLER would be. First of all he is an old Democrat with a reputation in the State such as would give him force as our representative in any gathering of party managers. He is an easy, logical speaker with a knowledge of politics that would command respect for plans he might have to suggest and he is not em- broiled in any factional strife in the county. . It will be remembered that Col. SPANGLER was ill during all of the years of our recevt party unpleasantness in Centre county and for thatreason it can- not be charged that he would represent one faction or the other. His candidacy should be received with delight by those Democrats of the county who are genu- inely interested in the party's welfare. ‘land will get a big army into the field ! fore that time. EH ————————————————————— —— ———— STATE RIGHTS AN D FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 61. BELLEFONTE, PA.. JANUARY 28, 1916. NO. 4. Brumbaugh’s Absurd Balderdash. Governor BRUMBAUGH has issued a statement expressing his ideas on the national campaign. It is made up of glittering generalities and palpable ab- surdities. The Governor aspires to shine as a phrase maker, and revels in cant and hypocrisy. As the political wet- nurse of the VARES he knows about as much concerning the science of govern- ment as an Angora goat knows about machine guns. But he must be flam-' boyant to please his sponsers, ED and BiLL. Ornate figures of speech are as musical in their ears as the squeal of a . pig and the odor of a piggery as satisfy- ing in their nostrils as the perfume of | roses. BRUMBAUGH furnishes the goods and the VARES pay the freight. | In his statement Mr. BRUMBAUGH tells | us that “the Republican party has been | a party of constructive achievements,” | and “it has done things in a command- ing way.” - We admit the “has been.” Of the achievements we are not so certain. ' True it has made Philadelphia “corrupt and contented,” and the reputation of Pennsylvania “a stench in the nostrils of decent men” all over the country. It has converted a government of the peo- | ple into an oligarchy of corrupt contrac- | tors. It has made public office in Penn- sylvania a synonym for official grafting | and prostituted the prerogatives of pow- er into agencies of spoliation. If the Republican party had not degenerated into a “has been,” there would be no' Governor BRUMBAUGH. After a few samples of such flamboy- | ant absurdity the Governor, in his state- | ment, resorts to ordinary mendacity. He declares that his party “has enacted all | the substantially good legislation, State and National, in the educational advance i of the country.” That is a plain .and deliberate falsification. That education | al interests have progressed in recent years is true but the advancement has been more in spite of the Republican ' party than because of it. Its tariff policy has been destructive rather than con- structive. The present prosperity of the country is proof - positive -that’ the largess taken from the earnings of workingmen to bestow upon bribe-giving monopolists was common robbery. | i I —You can’t blame General SHER- | wooD much. He thinks that his achieve- ments in the Civil war were the last words in military operations and the old | man was certainly a good soldier. Crime Against the United States. General VILLA is a self-confessed ban- | dit and murderer. He is a proclaimed ! outlaw. But he has set his mind to the | purpose of forcing the government of the | United States to armed intervention in ! Mexico. Such intervention would not benefit him in the least. It could not re- | sult in the pacification of Mexico except | by conquest. It might prevent the suc- cess of CARRANZA’s plans to restore order and orderly government in Mexico and | possibly it may create and maintain for a | considerable time a state of anarchy. But that is the best that can be hoped for from the operations of this bandit who is eluding authority and threatening disaster. It is probably all he expects to accomplish. But Senators and Representatives in Congress who are insisting on interven- tion upon the part of the President of the United States are simply “pulling VILLA’S chestnuts out of the fire.” They are aiding him in his nefarious schemes to prolong disorder and continue murder and pillage. Every speech made in Con- gress, every editorial published in parti- san journals and every shout for inter- vention gives him courage and determi- nation to continue. But for such moral support he would likely have given up hope and abandoned effort weeks ago. But so long as the clamor continues in this country he is able to deceive the half-savage followers of his lost cause in-" to the hope of ultimate victory. Can any one imagine a more danger- ous form of treason than this. The res- toration of order in Mexico by conquest,. if possible at all, would require an army of a million men and the sacrifice of probably half that many lives. It would cost the country millions of dollars a day for a period of many years and leave posterity with a burden of debt and a population of cripples for more than a generation. Yet there are men in and out of Congress willing to pay this vast price for what seems to them now a political advantage. No man who has the good of the country or the interests of the people at heart will contribute to this great crime against the United States. r ——At present rate of progress Eng- within fifty years and in the nature of things the Kaiser will he dead long be- i ness plans he may have. ! versal is significant. The President has started upon his tour of the Middle West, his purpose being to personally appeal to the people for support of his plans for strengthen- ing the defensive equipment of the coun- try. It is his fashion to thus deal direct- ly with the public, Second hand com- munications, however carefully prepared and conscientiously delivered, might be misleading. In the personal presenta- tion there can be no such danger. The speaker appears before his audience, looks the listerners directly in the face and reveals his mind to them. They know whether he is sincere or not. The average American audience is made up of intelligent men and women who meas- ure accurately those who confront them. This mission of the President is one of great importance. The administration is up against a grave condition. There are two elements of opposition, influenc- ed by diametrically opposite purposes, but equally disconcerting. One of these protests that there is no need for greater defensive facilities and the other insists that the need is for greater increase than he suggests. In all probability both have ulterior reasons for their attitudes. Political considerations go further than patriotic impulses with selfish men and there is a Presidential campaign ap- proaching. It is the President’s duty, in the circumstances, to present his plans to the people and ask for their endorse- ment. The tour upon which the President has entered will cover a considerable area. He will speak at Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Topeka and Kansas City, besides delivering short talks at points en route. It will severely tax his strength and endurance but he is equal to it. He will gather strength from the confidence and enthusiasm of the people and he will accomplish his purpose. An able man speaking earnest- ly appeals to the conscience as well as the minds of his hearers and however energetic and vigilant his opponents they will be unable*to-deteive those who have heard Wooprow WiLsoN. He is on a just mission and deserves the success which will attend him. —Representative MANN, the Republi- can floor leader in Congress made a stir- ring appeal to men of all parties to sup- port the President in whatever prepared- Congressman MANN has hitherto been opposed to in- creasing the army or navy and his re- he declares that it is not and should not be looked upon as a “partisan undertak- ing.” How many more Republicans are there in Congress who have the manhood to be a MANN. . Wireless Station at High School. How many ‘people in Bellefonte know that at the High school there is a wire- less station fitted out’ entirely by the boys of the school. Every evening they receive radio-grams from Arlington, Vir- ginia; Brooklyn Navy Yard, and other places. The outfit and apparatus have been worked out and fitted up by the boys, and the installation has been done by them. Practical work of this sort is unique in science. departments of High schools in towns of this size. The boys who have assumed leadership in this work are, Ray Durst, John Cunningham, Austin Hoy, Robert Musser, and Miles Wetzel, under the supervision of Mr. Eugene H. Weik, instructor in science. On Tuesday evening they received mes- sages of most of the important news that appeared in Wednesday morning’s papers. ——Bellefonte is badly in need of houses for laboring men and mechanies. Houses that can be had for a moderate rent. While the demand at present is not so great yet there is every reason to believe that within the next year the de- mand will be far in excess of the supply. The WATCHMAN is in possession of infor- mation on which the above statement is based and it verily believes that build- ings erected at a moderate cost can be filled as soon as completed. ——In accepting responsibility for the sinking of the Persia by Turkey, the limit of diplomatic shifting has been reached. But the penalty ought to be as certain and swift as if Austria or Ger- many had perpetrated the crime. ——Senator HOKE SMITH, of Georgia, has always been something of a nuisance but in his nagging of the President he is beating his own record. But he isn’t fooling anybody, except himself, even part of the time. ——There are four million automobiles in operation in this country and the aver- age price of the machines is $814.00. In case all other resources fail the automo- bile is an asset worth while. : President Wilson’s . Western Tour. | Especially so when: Nagging the President. Of course the Republican Senators ex- pect to gain a vast party advantage by nagging the administration upon its Mex- ican policy. Their action is likely to plunge the country into an expensive and cruel war, but that doesn’t deter them. They want to get back to the crib where they feast upon the spoils of office. Separation from opportunities to graft is abhorrent to the average Repub- lican statesman and he is willing to re- sort to any expedient to reconnect him- self with the loot. The sacrifice of mil- lions of lives and billions of treasure would be a cheap price for the SMOOTS: the PENROSES and the FALLS to pay for a party victory that would give them access to the treasury. In his treatment of fereign affairs President WILSON has revealed the high- est standard of statesmanship. With respect to the unhappy situation in Mex- ico he has been as wise as he has been patient. As Senator STONE, of Missouri, multiplied his chances of re-election by adopting the course the Republican Sen- ators have been trying to force him into. But he has considered only the interests of the country. He has conserved the resources of the people regardless of his personal or political estate and he has adhered to policies which were just and patriotic through all the course of his official life. No President has ever made a grander record. How different was the action of the Democratic Senators when President Mc- KINLEY was in an analagous situation as the Spanish war was approaching? No gentleman on the Democratic side of either branch of Congress offered an embarrassing motion. In the face of dan- ger all political prejudices were promptly suppressed and every man extended the helping hand to the Republican Chief Magistrate. The hope of party advant- age had no allurement for the minority in the National Legislature. But the dif- ference is easily accounted for. The Re- publican party has so long plundered the people that-its leaders have degenerated into bandits who have no aim but loot, no thought except graft. 0dd Fellows to Celebrate. The ninety-seventh anniversary of the es- tablishment of Odd Fellowship in the Unit- ed States will be celebrated in Bellefonte on Wednesday, April 26th. The Central Pennsylvania district,comprising eighteen counties will join in the celebration. In the district are a total of five hundred Lodges,” Encampments, Cantons and Re- bekahs, with thousands of members. A meeting of representatives from the va- rious Lodges in the county was held in Bellefonte recently at which time an ex- ecutive committee composed of five mem- members from each of the other Lodges was appointed and it will have charge of the arrangements for that day. It is the purpose to make this year’s gathering one of the best ever held and Odd Fel- lows throughout the county are urged to co-operate heartily. Booming Their Town. The Harrisburg Chamber of Com- merce, 140 members strong, with a band of twenty-four pieces, will make a trip through the central part of the State about the middle of February for the purpose of booming the capitol city in a business way. Bellefonte is one of the towns that will be visited and the special train of five cars will arrive here about twelve o'clock noon on Thursday, Febru- ary 17th. The party has arranged for luncheon here and will spend an hour or two in Bellefonte before leaving for Lock Haven. : —Belgium will remain at war “until Prussia is crushed,” according to infor- cumstances. Unless Great Britain “gets a move on,” Belgium will continue in the war until the end of time. ——Ash Wednesday this year falls on March 8th and Easter April 23rd, within two days of being as late as it is possible for it to fall. . This naturally presages a late spring, though the weather now does not indicate it. ——Pacifists in Congress .who oppose preparedness but ask for extensive and expensive munition factories in their. districts are somewhat inconsistent but prove that they care more for pork than patriotism: : 4 ! ——VILLA has not been captured, as reported the other day, but the Ameri- can public is coming to an understand- ing of him and that has a tendency to diminish his capacity for evil.

Owner can secure same Some Home Lessons. From the Philadelphia Record. Americans are rightfully indignant ! over the killing of their fellow-citizens in Mexico, but would it not be well to ex- pend some of this indignation in quar- ters nearer home? Villa’s brutal mur- ders of Americans, clearly intended to embroil this country in war with the Carranza Government, and quite beyond the ability of the United State to pre- i vent, even though it had a standing ar- my of 2,000,000 men, are a shocking re- flection upon Mexico and Mexican civili- zation, but they do not reflect upon this nation any more than the Turks’ massa- cres of Armenians do. Of direct bearing upon this country, however, is the lynch- ing in Georgia of five negroes who had been taken from jail. Such an outra- geous defiance of the law follows closely upon the lynching in Georgia of three negroes because one of them had com- mitted the awful crime of speaking jocu- larly and rather impertinently to a white girl. These were American citizens, even though their color was black; but so accustomed have we become to this unspeakably degrading practice of wreak- ing vengeance upon helpless victims that the occurrence calls forth only protest. It was not long ago at Roosevelt, N. J., that some armed thugs shot down in ‘ cold blood a number of Hungarians and Poles, not Americans, who had been | guilty of no serious offense. During the ; Colorado mining troubles the strikers, | some of whom were Greeks and men of other nationalities, were killed without | having given provocation. We Ameri- : cans are very quick on the trigger to kill | any one, regardless of what country he | hails from, and show no disposition to correct our ways in this regard. It is shocking murders, but it is well to re- member that we can exert no direct con- trol over persons beyond our borders. We do have such authority in our own country, but we do not exert it to pro- tect our own citizens and those of other nations temporarily here. When we condemn Mexico as barbarous let us al- $0 remember Georgia and South Caro- ina. Some Startling Figures. From the Johnstown Democrat. We are told upon the high authority of Mr. S. W. Strauss, president of the Amer- ican Society for Thrift, that in the Unit- ed States 66 out of every 100 people that die leave no estate whatever; that out of the remaining 34 only nine leave’ estates larger than $5,000; that the average of the balance of 25 is a little less than $1,- 300; that at the age of 65 97 out of every 100 are partly or wholly depend- ent upon relatives, friends or the public for their daily bread, for their clothing and a roof under which to sleep; and that 98 per cent. of the Americans are living from day to day on their wages, and that a loss of employment would mean pauperism for all but 2 per cent. Strange to say, the only remedy Mr. Strauss offers for this deplorable condi- tion of the people is to be more thrifty. How workingmen who are practically living from hand to mouth can be more thrifty Mr. Strauss does not attempt to explain. Nor does he draw the other side of the picture, the enormous for- tunes that are being amassed through predatory privileges. A moment’s reflec- tion would convince Mr. Strauss that, if the predatory interests got less, the pro- ducing classes would get more. Five Kinds of Fools. From the Boston Herald. It is time that the Republican party issues its quadrennial call for the fool- killer. He will find several groups ready to his hand. For example, all Republi- cans— Who think that it will be easy to de- feat President Wilson. Who badger or belittle the Weeks can- i didacy, which is serving a good purpose in the strategy of the situation. Who think that the country can be carried, against the labor and socialist vote, on the bald issue of preparedness. Who attach any significance to the Colonel's declaration that he is not a candidate, or fail to remember that he has declared his willingness to support Justice Hughes. Who approach Justice Hughes by word or letter on the subject until the conven- tion has made a nomination. There are others, but Republican pros- pects will be vastly improved when these The Matter of Mails. From the Hartford Courant.
