Senator Penrose has discovered
another “mare’s nest.” His state-
ment that President and Mrs. Wilson
had accumulated a million dollars’
worth of presents during their recent
sojourn in Europe has brought out
the fact that they received a few to-
kens of practically no intrinsic value.
—By publishing the list of the
presents they received during their
stay abroad the President and Mrs.
Wilson have shown Senator Penrose
up in a rather unenviable light, but
they have rather disappointed the
rest of us by disclosing that the gifts
were far simpler than we had imag-
ined them to be.

Centre county because he is just the
substantial, thoroughgoing, conserva-

Mr. Mayes would be so busy crying
sales in the spring and handling his
big marble business in the summer
‘and fall that he would only be found
in the office at such times as his com-
missions were to be figured out.

for District Attorney has excited
considerable comment that is very fa-

out Centre county, so Democratic in
his manner and has been so unselfish
with his time in doing kindly things
for others that he is just naturally
popular and, being a very capable
lawyer, he has all the requisites that
go to make up the kind of a District
Attorney many people want to vote
for.

he can be especially costly in the

can be a serious handicap to them in
the prompt and accurate handling of

a man conversant with court rules |
and forms and for. that reason, and
many others that might be mentioned,
Harry N. Meyer is the logical man.
He has been commissioner’s clerk
long enough to be well acquainted
with the work in the Prothonotary’s

distinct advantage over his opponent.

of thousands of dollars of public mon-

it was an impossible undertaking. A

Significant and Promising.
The most significant as well as |
stantial majorities, of the thirty-six
amendments to the peace treaty, pro- |
posed by Senator Fall, of New Mexi-
co, and approved by the Senate com-
mittee on Foreign Relations. The
amendments were puerile but the pur-
pose of them was vicious. Senator
Fall, just previous to our declaration
of war against Germany, tried in
every way to ‘embroil the country in
war with Mexico in order to keep us
out of the European conflict, thus
proving his sympathy with the plans
of the Kaiser and the militarists who
controlled his actions. In his efforts
to mutilate the treaty he is following
the same lines.
The Fall amendments would not
have defeated the treaty, even if they
had been adopted, or greatly impair-
ed its force. But they would have de-
| layed the restoration of peace and

A Word to Voters.
From the DuBois Express.
No citizen, man or woman, worker
or employer, can fairly answer the
. question, “What has the special ses-
sion of Congress done for me?” with-
out a sense of regret at having voted
last autumn to supplant the Demo-
cratic majority. More than two
months have elapsed since President
Wilson recommended to the special
session the passage of certain stat-
utes which were intended and requir-
ed to curb profiteering, to reduce or
at least stabilize the cost of living,
and to restore business to the normal
status of peace. Not one of the
President’s recommendations has be-
come law; no substantial progress
has been made toward their serious
consideration.
In the House of Representatives
the Republican majority is a compos-
ite of factions which are a unit upon
only one policy—that of opposing the
President. In every question of con-
structive legislation they are an in-
| coherent aggregation of cabals and
coteries, unable and unwilling to co-
an institution, although it is an industria
center. :
—Struck by a Lackawanna express train
near Northumberland, five Jersey cows
owned by Ira Churm were killed. They
were valued at $1500. The animals were
being driven across the tracks by a boy,
and when the train came into view they
became frightened and huddled together
on the tracks.
—Airplane advertising doesn’t go in Al-
toona. A realty dealer in that place is
$20 poorer as a result of a fine imposed
by Mayor Charles E. Rhodes. The real es-
tate man flew over Altoona and scattered
circulars in the streets against an ordi-
nance of the city which requires that they
be placed under the doors of homes.
—Furs which cost at wholesale nearly
$5000 were stolen from Meyer Jonasson &
Co’s store, in Altoona, last Thursday
night. Police say the robbery was com-
mitted by professionals, who evidently
carried off the goods in an automobile.
The store was ransacked. All the cash
registers were smashed, but yielded only
‘about $25.
—John Rockewell, aged thirteen years,
of near Selinsgrove, was near death last
Thursday, when attacked by a big bull on
his father’s farm. The boy rode into the
field where the animal stood grazing. The
bull attacked and killed the youngster’s
pony. While its attention was directed
toward goring the pony the youth sue-
ceeded in getting outside the fence and
making his escape.
—The vicinity of Crosby, Tioga county,
is gaining an unenviable reputation for
holdups. While Mrs. William Carr and
daughters were driving near there a man

stepped from the bushes and attempted to

He will be remembered for a brief
period as the servile instrument thé

the Vares will not be disposed of in |
that way. They will simply adopt |
Moore as their own and move and |
manipulate him precisely as they
would have used Mr. Patterson if he
had been nominated. The late Mr.

his political philosophy and it is
theirs.

the praise bestowed upon him in that
way was not deserved and he may
make up his mind to justify it in fu-
ture.
As President Wilson said in one of
actionary Republican control, not for
what it has done, right or wrong, but
for all that it has refused to do.
Opposing peace under whatever

tors have chosen to assume, it has
perpetrated every condition of war

No Railroad Legislation Likely.
There seems to be little hope of
railroad regulation legislation during
the special session of Congress. At the
evening of the last session the Presi-
dent stated his purpose to relinquish
government control at the expiration
of the present year and urged the
enactment of such legislation as
would secure the public and the cor-
porations from disaster. Months
have passed since and the Republican
majority of the House of Representa- |
tives has been holding public hear-
ings and otherwise fooling away time,
but nothing looking toward a solu-
tion of the problem has been accom-
plished. If the railroads are restored
to the owners at the close of the year
trouble is certain.
When the government assumed con-
trol of the railroads they were com- |
pletely submerged in debt and other
difficulties. At vast expense in mon-
ey and labor they were rescued, or at
least saved from collapse, by the in-
telligent and courageous management |
of the administration which operated
under the greatest disadvantages. !
Railroad officials for selfish reasons
threw every available obstacle in the
way of success and finally forced Di-
rector General McAdoo to resign. Since
that time matters of the railroads
have been going from bad to worse
notwithstanding the splendid efforts
of Mr. Hines to avoid calamity. Now
Congress has practically determined
to “let things slide,” so to speak.
The Republican majority in Con-
gress was bought and paid for by the
railroad officials who want to renew
their franchise to exploit and the
stock brokers who desire to speculate
in transportation securities and in re-
fusing to enact needed legislation on
the subject the Republicans are keep-
ing faith with the railroad officials
and stock jobbers at the expense of
the public and the share holders. But
the result will be disappointing even
to those who bargained for it. Wreck-
ing the railroads will stimulate spec-
ulation, no doubt, but it will be fol-
lowed by such industrial disaster as
will be appalling. Those who voted
in a Republican majority will be to
blame, however.
——At the same time the recently
developed love of Chinamen among
Republican leaders is more or less
surprising.

—Deer in the Hoagland Run mountains
of Anthony township, Lycoming county,
have proved very destructive to the apple
crop of Stephen Elder, of Stony Gap. Re-
ports state that the deer ate fifty bushels
of apples belonging to Mr. Elder and that
they have destroyed other crops of the
farmers in that vicinity. The Elder farm
is located on the public road leading from
Cogan Station to Salladasburg and his ap-
ple orchard adjoins the Hoagland Run
mountains. Recently the deer came into
the orchard and, not satisfied with eating
the apples on the ground, got away with
a quantity of winter apples lying on piles
| besides many that were pulled from the
lower branches of the trees in the orchard.
The farm of Frank Fisher was also visit-
ed recently by deer and there they ate a
large quantity of buckwheat before leav-
ing. Three Jeer were seen at that time.
| The Fisher farm is within a mile of the
Elder farm.
