Probably every observant citizen of Pennsylvania knew before Governor BRUMBAUGH declared the fact in Altoona, that he is not, in good faith, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Presi- dent, In announcing his candidacy some weeks ago, he may have deceived him- self into the belief that he was sincere, but he fooled nobody else. BILL VARE and SHUNK BROWN, his lawyer, thorough- ly understood the situation. They took a weak and vain man “up into the moun- t and flattered him into the delusion that the White House was a possibility. ut they didn’t want to give him the ination any more than PENROSE wants to hand it to him. They simply wanted to use his office and himself to promote their own selfish interests. The Republican party of Pennsylvania is divided into two parts at the head of each of which there is a firm of corrupt contractors. The highest aspiration of her is loot. One of these combina- tions hopes to extend its operations over the State and annexed BRUMBAUGH to its force with the view of using him to its interests. + With his help . agreed on a candidate for Mayor promised to divide the spoils on a s of 50-50. Subsequently the VARES | »f BRUMBAUGH cheated Mc-- W in. Jt Is 'u > { nce of the President and - Vice-President of Mexico, insisting that these doomed offi- cials had resigned a few days before they were made away with. He says that recognition of the presidency of Huerta by President Taft then awaited only assurances from Huerta that he would be good; in other words that he would observe international law, protect foreigners and observe treaties. Before he could give such assurance Woodrow Wilson became President and entirely repudiated this policy. Of course it is natural enough that the man who was responsible for that reject: ed policy should criticise its abandon- ment—particularly as the troubles of Mexico have continued down to date. But, even so, Philander C. Knox could hardly present a more unattractive view of his own career than in this reminis- cent glimpse of himself, as President Taft's Secretary of State, calmly nego- tiating with the traitor general of a rec- ognized, deposed and murdered President for assurances that if also r ized he would be good to us; bad as he had been to his own country’s sovereign authority. The spectacle of Knox waiting upon assurances of loyalty to international ob- ligations from the brazenly disloyal and defiantly ruthless Huerta is thus recalled by Knox himself with an effrontery that is simply stupid. The brilliant intellect. ual powers of Philander C. Knox war. ranted expectation of a different sort of argument. : "Treasure of the Sea. speech ] prise.

Labor has a perfect right to refuse to work when wages or working conditions are not ac- ceptable, but whether it be American or foreign, it has no right to destroy property or to interfere with the work of those who are satisfied with their con- ditions. ” —The WATCHMAN does not propose to take an active part in the contest be- tween Mr. LEIBEL and A. MITCHELL PAL- MER for the position of National Com- mitteeman for Pennsylvania. It does not believe that either ome of them should have aspired to the position at this time. But the WATCHMAN-does pro- pose to call your attention to the hypo- critical pretentions of Mr. PALMER and his supporters. The effort to cover up PALMER'S disastrous conduct of the Pennsylvania Democracy and hide it un- der President WILSON’S coat tail is as dishonest an undertaking as we have ever witnessed in state politics. Every Democrat is for President WiLsoN and his nomination is not hinging on the ac- tion of the Democrats of Pennsylvania in the matter of selecting .their National Committeeman. - So far as the Demo- crats of Centre county are concerned they all know, without our telling them, just what has happened to the party in Centre county. They know that not since Mr. PALMER has been in control has Centre county received any support from the state organization and’ they know that every important appointment that has been made in Centre county was made as a reward for personal serv- ice to PALMER, rather than for the up- building of the party organization in this county.

The tentative agreement which covers a period of four years provides for an eight-hour day and an increase of wages amounting to an average of fifteen per while Mr. PALMER poses as his cham- pion in order that he may make merchan* dise of the false friendship he professes as he has done in the past. = ——According to the New York Sun ROOSEVELT is not satisfied with talking himself out of the nomination.

R. has “won promotion from the ‘ranks ind manner truly remarkable for of the Spanish Main, but the wreckage of modern ships off the Atlantic coast will be his objective. ‘ In the ‘cold scien- tific light of the twentieth century a new business has been born that has all the adventurous imagination of the tradition- al lure of pirate gold and none of its un- certainty. : Y Millions upon millions of dollars’ worth of merchandise and specie have been sent to the bottom of the sea dur- ing this war alone. The exact location of many of these wrecks can be estimat- ed to a certainty. There would be no trouble, for instance, in locating the spot where the Lusitania went down. There is even less trouble in ascertaining pre- cisely what of value she contained and in what part of the hulk it is to be found. The only problem is the mechanical problem of reaching her. ' Modern diving and salvage appliances do not permit work to be done at a very great depth. The F-4 was raised out of 306 feet of water and her salvage was close to a record achievement. But at a depth of 300 feet many rich prizes are to be found. A Ward liner that recently sank off Hatteras lies in only 262 feet of water. The Lusitania itself, with its treasure of two millions in gold, lies in only four hundred feet of water. When man has found it profitable to search the seas for treasure, science will not be long in devising ways to plumb greater and greater depths. And in time to come the business of robbing the sea of its hidden treasure may be- come as common as mining and a great deal more profitable. : att The Habit of Good Cheer. From the Altoona Times. Good cheer is agreat lubricant. It oils all of life’s machinery. “A merry heart goes all the day, your sad tires in a mile-a.” Good cheer is a great producer. It adds wonderfully to one’s active abili- ty and increases mental and physical power. It makes hosts of friends and helps us to be interesting and agreeable. Optimism is the greatest business-get- ter, biggest trader, truest achiever in the world. Pessimism has never done any- thing but tear down and destroy what -| optimism has built up. In the business office, in society, in politics, in workshops, everywhere, the favorite is always the cheerful fellow with the bright smile and bright thoughts. Good-natured, cheerful people do not waste their vital energies as rapidly as the grumblers or too sober, too sour ones do. They work and live with much less friction. Good cheer is a simple habit. It is the best in all the list. Hank Doesn’t Care to Die Poor. From the Houston Post. Henry Ford says he will not finance a third party. Wise boy, Henry.
