STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL. 61.
BELLEFONTE, PA. JUNE 9, 1916.
Preparedness Programme Going For- |
ward. t
The new army bill has been signed
and under its provisions recruit
ing of the force to the limit
provided will begin at once. On
Friday last the new navy bill
passed the house by a practically
unanimous vote, only four Represen-
tatives having dissented. The Repub-
lican members made every possible
effort to prevent this result and tried
their best to add one hundred million
dollars to the appropriation so as to
make it burdensome and odious. But
they were unable to break the solid
Democratic line in defense of the ad-
ministration’s programme. No doubt
the Senate will add a couple of dread-
naughts to the building plan and the
House may concur. But the measure
will reflect the President’s policy.
And while this progress was being
made in the preparedness in Wash-
ington, Theodore Roosevelt was some-
where else writing or ranting that the
Wilson administration has done noth-
ing toward preparing for the defense
of the country in the event of war.
He served nearly eight years as Presi-
dent and during all that time not a
single movement in the direction of
increasing the army ,Or navy was
made. Not a word in favor of indus-
trial or financial preparedness for war
came from the White House during
the period that he was grafting there
and bullying Congress into other
form of profligacy. But now he is
working night and day to convince
the public that Woodrow Wilson is
neglectful of such things though won-
ders are being performed, under his
direction in Washington.
The new army bill already passed
and signed and the new navy bill
which has triumphantly passed
through one branch of Congress will
afford ample defenses of our coast
and country either in war or peace
for they provide for rapid and ration-
are not ready: or willing to plunge into
militarism and in the wisdom of Con-
gress and the President the measures
passed and to be enacted will not have
that result. But they will secure the
safety of the country, backed by the
patriotism and courage of the Ameri-
can people, if war should come, and
the people will prove their apprecia-
tion of Woodrow Wilson by re-elect-
ing him.
The Republican Convention.
Though the Republican National
convention has been in session for a
day the political atmosphere, in Chi-
cago, is as murky and impenetrable
as it was a week ago. Roosevelt’s
forces have been storming the stal-
wart strongholds with the energy and
pertinacity of the Germans at Verdun,
but to no apparent purpose. Proba-
bly the costliest primary campaign in
the history of the country is drawing
to a close and though the convention
will necessarily end within sixty
hours, no man in attendance or ab-
sent from the convention seat can
even conjecture the ultimate result.
John Wanamaker tried to lead the
Pennsylvania contingent out of the
wilderness on Tuesday but failed ut-
terly.
The convention is made up of men
nursing grievances, fostering ambi-
tions and coveting spoils. Roosevelt’s
friends demand his nomination, not
because they hope he might do good
as the candidate or as the President,
for in seven years in the office he
achieved nothing, but because they
want to trample upon the others and
occupy the places of power. Penrose,
Barnes, Crane and their associates in
the opposition to Roosevelt are influ-
enced by no higher impulses. It is an
orgie of revenges, a riot of spiteful-
ness, a raid for plunder. One faction
has no advantage of the other in
this respect. They are alike selfish
seekers after personal advantages and
party spoils.
It would be absurd to expect good
to come out of such a cauldron of
evil, preposterous to expect righteous-
ness to emerge from such a pool of in-
iquity. The leaders of both factions
know that Woodrow Wilson will be
re-elected by an overwhelming major-
ity, and they are simply contending
for control over the defeated and de-
moralized mob which will represent
the Republican party after the com-
ing Presidential election. We hoped
to be able to indicate, in this issue of
the “Watchman,” who of the various
aspirants would be chosen to ‘lead
the forlorn hope” in the campaign.
But the absence of every element of
patriotism and reason from the centre
of the strife defeats this expecta-
of war. The ‘people of this country |

Naval Victory for Germany.
The defeat of the British squadron
in the North sea, off the coast of Den-
mark, a week ago, makes the London
claim of the mastery of the sea look
absurd. It is true that only a part of
the British armada was engaged in
the encounter and that the retreat of
the German fleet probably saved it
from destruction. But the incident
proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the German navy is more effi-
cient and more alert than that of
Great Britain and that the British
pretense of a right to create a paper
blockade is false. A blockade must
be effective to make it valid under in-
ternational law and so long as Ger-
man ships may come out of their re-
treat and win decided victories a
blockade is ineffective.
The London authorities claim that
they have enlisted and mustered an
army of five million men and yet we
hear nothing of their achievements
on the front or their operations in the
trenches. The French and Russians
are almost constantly in action and
the reports of their heroism challenge
the admiration of the world. But
English troops accomplish nothing
and their dalliance provokes the fear
that providing them with places of
amusement, such as tennis courts and
golf courses, will become a grave
problem in the near future. Now that
their boasted superiority in naval
equipment is successfully challenged
they become subjects of contempt.
Supplying funds is not a fair share of
the burden of the war. Supplying
corpses is more important.
The British naval base is nearly five
hundred miles from the scene of the
recent battle and that of the Germans
less than two hundred. But even
with that advantage the German navy
ought not to be able to make a dash
and sink eight or more British ships,
including some of the most powerful
afloat, if the claim of mastery of . the
British blockade is a false pretense
and entitled to no respect from mneu-
trals. The mastery of the sea would
bottle the German fleet completely in
the Keil canal whereas that has not
been accomplished at any time as the
record of several German raiders has
repeatedly and amply proven.
Democratic National Convention.
The Democratic National conven-
tion is nearly a week off but its work
can be practically forecast. Woodrow
Wilson will be. nominated by the
unanimous vote of the delegates.
There may be a ballot for the Vice
Presidential nomination but it is safe
to predict the nomination of Thomas
R. Marshall, of Indiana, the present
efficient incumbent. The platform
will be brief and to the point. It will
eulogize the President, endorse his
policies and point to the present pros-
perity of the country as proof of the
legislation and administration of the
Democratic party. The evidence is
abundant and it will be an easy task
to assemble reasons for the retention
of the party in power.
Though the work of the convention
will be simple it will not be an inferi-
or body. Among the delegates will
be found some of the ablest men of
the country and they will be guided in
their deliberations by the highest im-
pulses of the human heart. Selfish-
ness will have no place on the floor.
The one purpose of every man in the
body will be to conserve the interests
of the people and guarantee the safe-
ty of the country during the four
years to follow the inauguration of
the nominee on the fourth of March
next. Such a body of men influenced
by such impulses should not fail to
command the respect of the public
and get the endorsement of the voters
at the election.
The convention will be less spectac-
ular than that of the Republicans now
in session in Chicago, and less demor-
alizing. But it will come closer to
the hearts of the people because it
will represent the highest purposes of
an exalted patriotism. It will proba-
bly last four days so that we shall not
be able to give the result of its la-
bors next week. But we can give as-
surance now that it will be a conven-
tion of fine men assembled for a pa-
triotic service to the country. Noth-
ing more could be desired and nothing
less will satisfy the members of “the
great party which has . survived the
events of more than one hundred
years of prosperity and adversity.
—Have your Job Work done here.
Naval Problems Under Consideration.
Every important incident of the
European war conveys a lesson to
those in authority in this country.
Naturally, therefore, the Secretary of
the Navy and the Chairman of the
Senate committee on Naval Affairs
are giving close attention to the de-
tails of the recent naval engagement
in the North sea. To the mind of
Mr. Daniels the most important ele-
ment in that battle was the work of
the battle-cruisers. The operations of
the Zeppelins appealed most to the
mind of Senator Tillman. The result
is likely to be expressed in the action
of the Senate in considering the Na-
val appropriation bill which will be
the order for next week. More battle
cruisers and airships will be provided
for.
As passed the House the navy bill
provides for five battle cruisers and
no battleships. Secretary Daniels
thinks the number should be increas-
ed to six and that two dreadnaughts
should be included in the building op-
erations. Senator Tillman will insist
upon a “flotilla of dirigible aircraft of
the Zeppelin type.” Neither the army
nor the navy has aircraft of this type
and it may be hard to persuade Con-
gressmen of their superiority to the
type we have. But it is practically
certain that some kind of aircraft will
be provided in considerable number.
The value of them has long’ been es-
tablished and their work on the re-
cent occasion confirms the claims of
the most enthusiastic advocates of
them.
The naval bill as it passed the
House appropriates an enormous sum
but in the present state of the public
mind it cannot be decreased. Wheth-
er it ought to be increased or not is
a question. There are no indications
of war in any direction. When the
European war ends all the belliger-
ents will be reduced to a state of pau-
-perism and helplessness, so that there
ean be no probability. of war, for many |
(years. Big armies and navies cost
immense sums of money for mainte-
nance and high taxes add materially
to the cost of living. Nevertheless if
we need the additional equipment pro-
posed it should be provided for. The
navy is our first and most important
line of defense.
——We are betraying no confidence
in stating that Theodore Roosevelt
would give half of all his property,
real, personal and mixed, for a panic
in this country now of about the pro-
portions of that which worried the
rest of us in 1907 while he was Presi-
dent.
——Probably some income tax
dodging has been indulged in by rich
men during the last year but as col-
lectors increase in experience they
grow in efficiency and after awhile the
burdens of government will be more
nearly equalized.
—Really Governor Brumbaugh is
entitled to public sympathy. Between
the Vares and Shunk Brown he has
been “made a spectacle about which
public contempt will cling for all time
unless he is rescued by prompt sym-
pathy.
——If the fulsome rot recently
printed in certain metropolitan papers
about Roosevelt is not paid for at
“political advertising” rates some of
the big publishers of the country are
drifting toward insane asylums.
——When Woodrow Wilson is going
through the ceremony of inauguration
on the 4th of March next Justice
Hughes can console himself with the
reflection that he didn’t want the of-
fice anyway.
——Old Jupiter Pluvius is certainly
working overtime these days. In fact
more rain has fallen so far this spring
than there has for years, and there don’t
seem to be any let-up to it.
——About sixty people attended
the - eighth annual reunion of the
Tressler family at the fair grounds
last Saturday, notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather.
——Justice Brandies had a long
wait for confirmation but it was not
exactly tedious and the prize is made
the more welcome because it came
tardily.
——Any time an office goes hunt-
ing for a man it will head for Oyster
Bay if it has any intelligence.

NO. 23.
The Republican Issue.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The Republicans—Regular and Pro-
gressive—have no issue; they are
merely attempting to perpetrate a
colossal fraud upon the country. They
are shouting “Americanism!” but they
have no monopoly of patriotism, and
no person who stops to think a mo-
ment pretends that they have.
If they had a practical issue they
would define it. They avoid this as
they would a contagion. Their pur-
pose is obvious; it is to beat Mr. Wil-
son and get hold of the Federal pa-
tronage. That is absolutely all they
are after—the offices. If they intend-
ed to establish any certain line of
governmental policy they would state
it; and it is impossible to get them to
do this. From Theodore Roosevelt
and Elihu Root down, there is not one
of them who will say what the Gov-
ernment ought to have done, or what
it would do next year if the Republi-
cans could carry the election.
The only plan of the Republicans is
to humbug the country. If they had
any other plan they would state it.
They are attacking the President for
not assuming a more truculent atti-
tude toward Germany and Mexico.
But what attitude would they as-
sume? They will not tell us. Would
any other attitude than that of the
present Administration have given
greater security to a single American,
either upon the high seas or in Mexi-
co? They insinuate it, but they do
not dare assert it. Was there any
possibility of a different attitude,
short of war with both countries?
They do not dare assert it.. Do they
wish war? They do not dare say so.
Mr. Wilson has not accomplished all
that was desired. The conviction of
the Democrats is that he has done all
that could be done. He has not in-
volved the country in two wars, but
if I e had done so it is not certain that
the rights of Americans would have
been any safer. At any rate he has
done all that was possible without
war. Are the Republicans attacking
him because the country is at peace?
They are not fools enough to say so,
but they are industriously insinuat-
ing it in hope of getting votes.
If Mr. Root or Mr. Roosevelt had
been President for the past two years
what would he have done that Mr.
‘Wilson has not done? Neither of
follow
éither of
‘them should :be L'resident! ‘next. “year;
those men, and no one of
ers, ventures to ‘ell us.
and the great war go on, and disorder
continue in Mexico, what would he
do? They and their friends have no
reply except to shout, “American-
ism.”
If the Republicans—Regular and
Progressive—desire war with Germa-
ny and Mexico their conduct is crim-
inal. If they do not, their conduct is
fraudulent. Let them give the coun-
try a policy; a program of action. If
they dare not do that they brand their
campaign with infamy.
U. S. Armor Plate Plant.
From the Harrisburg Star-Independent.
Notwithstanding the magnanimous of-
fer made by the Bethlehem Steel com-
pany to supply armor plate to the Unit-
ed States at a price to be determined by
the Federal Trade Commission, the low-
er House of Congress has seen fit to
adopt the naval appropriation bill passed
by the Senate providing $11,000,000 for a
government owned armor plate plant.
The offer of the Bethlehem company has
apparently fallen upon deaf ears, espec-
ially since its officials have endeavored to
show members of the Congress the enor-
mous cost involved to successfully turn
out armor of a quality suitable for our
fighting ships.
The Bethlehem concern contends the
United States is paying considerably less
for armor than is paid by Japan, Austria,
Germany, England or France, and is also
getting the best in the world. The com-
pany offers to continue producing that
quality of armor under government su-
pervision at any price the federal offi-
cials themselves shall name as fair. In
the face of this there is no plausible rea-
son why Congress should ignore the
Bethlehem offer. It has been made in
good faith and no doubt will result in a
big saving to the government on its
purchases of armor in the future.
The expenditure of $11,000,000 to equip
a government-owned plant is not the
only expense connected with the produc-
ing of armor. Millions more in money
must necessarily be spent year after year
to maintain the plant in the way of com-
petent metallurgists, open-hearth super-
intendents and others to whom the high-
est salaries have to be paid in order to
command men who are’ able to get the
results necessary for the production of
armor of the highest type. The govern-
ment is likely to find after it engages in
the armor plate business, which it seems
bent upon doing, that the offer of the
Bethlehem plant would have been much
the cheaper, but Congressmen must leg-
islate and the people must pay the
freight.
Natural Rights of the Mule.
From the Coal Trade Journal.
The Kentucky court of appeals has re-
versed the verdict of a lower court
awarding damages to a driver in a coal
mine who was kicked by a mule. The
eminent jurists held that kicking was
one of the natural born rights of the
mule. Commenting on the fact that the
driver had stooped down to pick up a
chain, at the same time striking the ani-
mal across the hind legs with a whip, the
court said in its opinion: “Here the
mule would have been untrue to himself
and false to every tradition of his breed
if he had passively acquiesced in such
treatment and ‘kept his heels on the
ground.”

already been acquired by corporations engaged
in mining.
—About $2000 worth of lumber inthe yards of
McCauley-McKay Co., at Brockwayville, was
burned on Monday and a more serious conflag-

the fire department. The lumber was located in
the McCauley-McKay lumber yards near the
company’s saw and grist mills, and it is believed
sparks from one of the mills set fire to the lum.
ber. There was a lot of other lumber in the yard
at the time but the efforts of the firemen were
successful in confining it to one portion of the
lumber yard.
