—Bellefonte feels a peculiar sor-
row in the tragic death of aviator
Max Miller, at Newark, on Wednes-
day morning. He was not a resident,
but his transient life here had given
many opportunity to know and like
him and we think we are telling what
was in his heart when we say he liked
Bellefonte. The “Watchman” has al-
ways viewed that accidental little vis-
it Max made to us shortly after the
selection of Lock Haven as an aerial
station, as being the underlying rea-
son of the sudden shift from Lock Ha-
ven to this place. He made the dis-
covery that the Beaver field was al-
most without an equal in possibilities
as a landing field and shortly after his
visit the change was made. He was a
capable flyer, a fine fellow and many
of us view his end as a distinct loss.

— Talking about the League of
Nations. Don’t let Mr. Harding, or
anyone else, tell you that any article
in the covenant it proposes could drag
us into a war in Europe, or any other
place, without our consent. We are
to have a member in the Council of
the League and none of its actions
oF
could be binding without the unani-.
mous consent of its members. Further-
more, even should our member assent
the United States could send no troops
abroad without the affirmative action
of our own Congress. We call your
attention to these salient facts at this
time because some of Senator Hard-
ing’s recent utterances are designed
to deceive the mind that is not clear
on the intents and purposes of the
League. What he has said from his
“front porch” some of his advocates
will try to tell you over your back
fence. And when they try to do it
a tell them that the near-statesmen
from Marion, Ohio, can’t put that kind
of stuff over on you.
STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL G5
Harding’s Unfitness Revealed.
Senator Harding has finally set his
face against the League of Nations.
In his front porch speech at Marion
on Saturday he said: “For myself, I
do not question for a moment the
truth of what the Democratic nominee
says on this subject. He has flatly
said he is in favor of going in on the
basis announced by the President. I
am not.” But he is in favor of a sub-
stitute. The Hague tribunal express-
es his idea of an alliance for the pres-
ervation of peace. It was in force
in 1914 when the world war began
by the German invasion of Belgium.
It exercised no restraint upon Ger-
many. It proved no deterrent to the
war passions of Germany. It proved
absolutely impotent.
But Senator Harding's reasons for
his opposition to the League of Na-
tions are weaker than his alternative.
He bases his attitude on a deliberate
falsehood or an inexcusable ignorance.
He said that if the treaty had been
ratified “we would have been called
upon to fulfill the obligation which
we had assumed under Article X of
the League covenant to preserve the
territorial integrity of Poland.” Un-
less he is a hopeless imbecile he must
know that the action of the signator-
ies to the treaty would be determined
by the council in which this country
would be represented, and that a unan-
imous vote of the council is requir-
ed. The assent of the United States
in the council would be an essential
prerequisite.
Possibly Mr. Harding never read
the covenant of the League, and it is
also possible that he didn’t under-
stand it even if he has read it. But
the average American school boy
knows that under the covenant of the
League this country could not have
been forced into active participation
in the Polish affair, if the League of
Nations had been ratified by the Sen-
ate, without the consent of the Amer-
jcan representatives in the council
first, and we could not have been com-
pelled to send troops to engage in
affirma-
“Senator Harding ad
Hague tribunal is without teeth, but
he imagines that the teeth of the
League of Nations might be trans-
planted, by some process left to con-
jecture. The Hague tribunal is like
a court without a sheriff. Its inten-
tions are good but it has no means
of enforcing its processes. He would
supply this deficiency by adopting the
instrumentalities of the international
court. But without the League of
Nations there can be no international
court. The conference or congress or
whatever it is that Mr. Root is now
attending, and practically guiding, is
a creature of the League and if the
League fails it falls. That leaves
Harding’s superstructure without a
foundation to stand on.
These evidences of Senator Hard-
ing’s mental delinquencies are bad
enough but not the worst features of
his last front porch speech. His in-
sinuation against the late Colonel
Roosevelt is positively vicious in view
of the facts. He said: “I will not em-
power an assistant Secretary of the
Navy to draft a constitution for help-
less neighbors in the West Indies and
jam it down their throats at the points
of bayonets borne by United States
Marines.” Manifestly he had in mind
the action of President Roosevelt
when Panama was forcibly taken from
Colombia and nursed. by bayonets
borne by American marines. It is
neither our duty nor purpose to de-
fend Roosevelt, but Harding ought
to let him alone in his grave.

— The time has now passed when
those women of Centre county who
want to vote this fall can legally reg-
ister to do so, if they failed to exer-
cise that privilege up to and including
the first of September. While it is
too soon to tell how many women in
Centre county registered it is a safe
assertion that all of them of voting
age did not exercise their rights to
the ballot. In fact quite a number of
women in Bellefonte protested against
being registered while one woman was
so emphatic in her protest that she
told the assessor to go to that place
that is hotter than it is here. But
that was an exceptional instance and
the assessor didn’t go, anyway. But
we don’t wonder that some women are
rather staggered at the responsibility
of the ballot. It must be conceded
that the average woman always
takes everything more seriously than
the average man and now that they
are about to get the ballot, and with
it the balance of power in national,
State and local governments, they
naturally feel the responsibility be-
cause unlike men they can’t go to the
polls and just vote the way that
“mom” always voted.

—These are the times when green-
corn and collywobbles are shaking
hands over the rapid cause and effect
business.
Presumptuous Mr. Hays.
Chairman Hays, of the Republican
National committee, evidently has
great confidence in the credulity of
the voters. In his testimony before
the Senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures, on Tuesday,
he said: “The campaign budget or
estimate has worked out beginning as
of July 1st, of a total amount which
would be needed for the actual cam-
paign, and this was $3,079,037.20. Of
this total,” he continued, “$255,100
was apportioned to the speakers’ bu-
reau; $750,824 to headquarters’ ex-
penses; $45,634 for rents; $1,346,500
for miscellaneous objects and $680,-
920 for expenses of collecting the
fund. That leaves a balance unac-
counted for of $660,370.20.
The minute detail in the matter of
amounts is no doubt intended to “give
verisimilitude to the story,” as the
comic opera writer put it. But the
quotas as officially issued by the com-
mittee of which Mr. Hays is chairman
for only about one-fourth of the pop-
ulation of the country, that is for fif-
ty-one cities in twenty-seven States
with an aggregate population of a tri-
fle over 25,000,000 were $8,145,000.
There are hundreds of other cities and
towns in which collecting agents were
operating and it may be fairly as-
sumed that more than double the
amount named has been or will be col-
lected. What does Mr. Hays want the
public to think he will do with this
money? Is he likely to feed it to the
chickens ? ¥
The fact is as stated that the evi-
dence presented by Governor Cox is
documentary and taken from the offi-
cial records of the Republican nation-
al committee. Does Mr. Hays imag-
ine that his word will serve to refute
such a structure of evidence? When
Senator Newberry’s corrupt practices
were exposed he protested his inno-
cence quite as earnestly as Hays de-
clares the Cox charges are false. But
a judicial investigation resulted in his
conviction and that after a trial in
which he was defended by the ablest
lawyers in the country, and backed by
the immense fortune of his famil
—Harding says he is satisfied with
The Hague, as a peace tribunal. This
may satisfy the “front porch” candi-
date but it won’t satisfy the millions
of mothers of this country who know
that The Hague was there in 1914 and
raised neither voice nor hand to stop
the frightful carnage that followed.
Real Lesson of the World War.
Those financiers, captains of indus-
try and leaders in commerce who are
subscribing vast sums of money to
buy the Presidency have failed te
learn the real lesson of the world war.
We all freely and sometimes with
brutal frankness condemn the former
German Kaiser for forcing that dev-
astating catastrophy upon civiliza-
tion. But it wasn’t the Kaiser who
committed the crime. It was Krupps
and the land owners and financiers of
Germany who forced the Kaiser. They
imagined that out of a world war
they could extract vast fortunes for
themselves and great advantages for
their country. The Franco-German
war proved a most profitable enter-
prise for Germany in various ways.
Those who are contributing vast
sums of money to buy the Presidency
are as greatly mistaken as were the
German junkers. They imagine that
the restoration of the Republican
party to power will reopen the av-
enues of graft and not only reimburse
them but add immensely to their
wealth. Tariff taxation is an easy
source of personal revenue and the
captains of industry who are subscrib-
ing to the Republican slush fund are
simply investing in prospects of prof-
its from that source. Others hope
for plunder in other forms and it is
safe to say that not one in a thous-
and of those who are promptly and
cheerfully responding to the call to
“get the money,” are influenced by
patriotic or unselfish motives.
The German junkers who forced the
Kaiser into the war have reaped a
harvest of sad disappointment. They
have not only lost the expected profits
but they have forfeited most of their
fortunes, left themselves overwhelmed
in national and personal debts and
practically without a country. The
investors in the Republican slush
fund will be equally disappointed. The
office of President of the United
States is not a subject of barter and
sale and the voters will resent the
attempt to prostitute it to that low
level. The man who had the perspi-
cacity to discover the conspiracy and
the courage to expose it will be the
next President of the United States.
—Senator Harding is not in favor
of going into the League of Nations
which means that he is in favor of
sending the sons of our American
mothers out to fight every time we
get dragged into a war that a League
of Nations might have prevented.

BELLEFONTE, PA., SEPTEMBER 3, 1920.
NO. 85.
Corruption Charge Already Proved.
In his exposure of the Republican
conspiracy to buy the office of Presi-
dent for the use of a reactionary
roup of Senators, Governor Cox
eaves nothing to conjecture. His evi-
dence is not only documentary but it
is taken from the archives of the
Republican National committee. His
witnesses are not only participants
in the conspiracy but they are the ac-
tual and active leaders of the Repub-
lican party. Chairman Hays, of. the
Republican National committee, and
Treasurer Upham, of the same body,
are quoted freely, not their lip service
but their written statements. There
can be no “going behind the returns”
in this case or dodging the respon-
sibility. Every fact is clearly set
forth.
Governor Cox’s original charge was
that the Republican committee had
set out to raise a fund of $15,000,000
with which to purchase the election of
Senator Harding. The documentary
evidence shows conclusively that the
quota of fifty cities containing not
more than one-fourth of the popula-
tion of the country had been
fixed which amounted to $8,145,000,
and returns showed that in some
cases the amounts had been subscrib-
ed and it was expected all would “go
over the top.” Reports from other
cities and towns fully justified the
estimate that not less than $15,000,-
000 would be raised. No reasoning
man will say that that amount could
be spent legitimately in one campaign.
If there were any doubts, however,
of the purpose of the conspiracy,
they were removed upon the reading
of the documents presented. One of
the letters contained this statement:
“Nobody is going to have anything tc
do with this bulletin who has not had
actual experience in digging up mon-
ey in the field.” In another the chair-
man said: “Our job from now until
Senator Harding’s election involves
just a few of the simplest principles
of salesmanship.” In another he said
“Senator Weeks inspired them with
an understanding of the situation and
they agreed to produce.” And so
| the importunate letters ran e
hot, men are
Nor can it be said that the Repub-
lican candidate was ignorant of the
purposes and processes of the con-
spirators. It will be remembered
that during the campaign of 1904,
when the operations of the late Mr.
Harriman were exposed, Theodore
Roosevelt, who was then the candidate
of the party, protested that he knew
nothing of collections from corpora-
tions. Mr. Harding is not able to
offer such an alibi, however. Among
the letters shown is one from Sena-
tor Harding in which he expresses pro-
found gratitude for the work being
done. “Through the fine work of
your organization,” he wrote, “we
are nearing that form of national
patriotism which expresses itself in
support from every county, every
State.”
In the face of these disclosures it
is small wonder that thoughtful men
should feel alarm. The Republican
majority in the Senate was obtained
by the corrupt use of money in the
election of Senator Newberry, of
Michigan. That beneficiary of cor-
ruption still holds his seat in the Sen-
ate, though he stands convicted in ‘a
Republican State and a Republican
county by a Republican judge and a
Republican jury, and gives the reac-
tionaries in the Senate the “under-
holt” of the government they are now
exercising. The party is indebted to
the same sinister force for its major-
ity in the House of Representatives,
and if it succeeds by the same method
in getting control of the President the
gravest results may be expected.

Health Instruction in Public Schools.
Must we not provide good physicians for
the State; and must not these be such as
have been conversant with great numbers
of both healthy and sick people?—Plato’s
Republic.
In a paper recently published in the
American Medical Journal, “The Fu-
ture of the Physician,” Dr. Frederick
Peterson, of New York, advocates the
theory upheld by the “Watchman” for
three years that the best way to se-
cure public and individual health is
through teaching the children in the
schools. Dr. Peterson thus discusses
the subject.
HEALTH INSTRUCTION
SCHOOLS.
Let me invite your attention to an
important and fruitful field in the fu-
ture work of the physician. The quo-
tation from Plato suggests that the
physicians provided by the republic
should be such as have been convers-
ant with great numbers both of
helthy and sick people. It is the
healthy people whom we are now call-
ed on to consider. We physicians have
been so busy studying the seats and
causes of disease, diagnosis, pathol-
ogy and therapeutics that we have al-
most forgotten the healthy people.
Yet it seems to me that the physician
of the future must make health and
healthy citizens his chief concern.
There are two factors which have
militated against our heretofore tak-
ing health into consideration: First,
we have been and are too busy with
relief repairs and consolation among
our clientele to pay much attention
to the healthy people about us. Sec-
ond, the healthy people, engrossed in
their own objective affairs, slap them-
selves on the chest, and feel that the
world is their oyster and that they
can afford to laugh at fate and the
doctors. There are two serious but
not insurmountable conditions. I be-
lieve that the healthy people and the
physicians can be brought together
for a common purpose, pamely, the
reconstruction of the race.
The span of life in this country is
IN PUBLIC
.about sixty years, and for a century
or so we have had in our minds the
extension of this average life span
beyond the sixty years. But these
sixty years are not sixty health years;
just sixty years of living, full of more
or less ill health and physical decrepi-
tude. The “health span” of life, as
Dr. Qne Is s a uch
Ths Xhe {..
bust, healthy citizens referred to
learn the fact that no matter how
long they live they are certain of only
ten years of exuberant well-being,
they are going to stop a moment in
the rush of things and take thought.
They are going to insist on physicians
lengthening that health span, and as
soon as the physicians also learn this
fact, which few now know, they too
will turn their attention to the healthy
people and do their part to extend the
health span of the race. The ail-
ments that impair health are mostly
minor and remediable, forerunners,
perhaps, but not the serious disorders
from which people die.
1 hate to recite statistics, but I must
refer to the oft-quoted rejection of
more than one third of the flower of
our race between the ages of 21 and
31 in the army draft—nearly a mil-
lion unfit for service—and among
those accepted several hundred thous-
ands in the camps found to have phy-
sical defects ranging from syphilis
and gonorrhea to flat-foot.”
The British, taking in the men of
40 years, rejected 69 per cent as unfit
for military service.
More than 16,000,000 children of
our 22,000,000 now in the public
schools have physical defects, most of
them preventable and remediable,
such as heart and lung diseases, dis-
orders of sight and hearing, diseased
adenoids and tonsils, flat feet, weak
spines, inperfect teeth and malnutri-
tion, and among them 1 per cent. of
mental defect. I mention these facts
first to show how much work there is
to be done by physicians among the
supposedly healthy members of any
community, and secondly to point out
the most promising way in which the
problem of health may be made evi-
dent to the whole people.
We all know how disappointing and
almost futile have been our efforts to
rouse the people in the matter of pub-
lic health—the millions expended, our
health exhibits, our health lectures,
our clean-up campaigns, our pam-
phleteering—all these expenditures of
money and energy have merely
scratched the surface. The foremost
public health worker in America told
me one day that our tuberculosis cam-
paigns in certain States have accom-
plished practically nothing, and that
in one State where nothing whatever
had been done there was as much im-
provement in tuberculosis statistics
as in States where campaigners had
done their best work.
The point is that we cannot by these
methods make clear the matter of
public health to the conservative, re-
acionary, more or less fossilized
minds of the grown-ups. We must
reach the whole people in the matter
of health through the plastic, recep-
tive minds of the children in the
schools. :
We need but ten minutes daily of
health instruction in our schools. It
should be a thorough system of in-
struction in all matters pertaining to
health, with special emphasis on
health problems rather than on dis-
ease, in physical and mental habits,
in personal hygiene, in public health
and sanitation, in methods to avoid
communicable diseases, in the re-
