BELL EFONTE, PA. OCTOBER 7, 1921. NO. 39. Factional Fight Creates Hope. | that neither the esteemed Philadel- | phia Record’s suggestion of Senator | Vare as the Republican nominee for | Governor nor our own thought that | State Treasurer Snyder should be | named is likely to be adopted by the Republican machine. On the contra- | ry conditions appear to be shaping up {for a regular cat-and-dog fight be- tween the Penrose and Sproul factions of the party for the favor. The Pen- rose entry seems to be United States district court judge Charles B. Wit- mer, of Sunbury, while the Sproul fa- vorite is still under the shelter of a dark blanket with signs pointing to i banking commissioner John S. Fisher, of Indiana. In the event that these favorites will be in contest it may be assumed that Vare will be with Sproul and Snyder with Penrose. When Senator McConnell, of Sha- mokin, was appointed State prohibi- tion director, and Jack Glass, of the same town, was named for United States marshall the “Watchman” dis- cerned the “fine Roman hand” of the crafty jurist and suggested the prob- ability of his nomination for Gover- nor. These two officials, trusted lieu- . tenants and close personal friends of Judge Witmer, have control of a vast amount of patronage. Neither of them could have coveted the jobs to which they were assigned. McConnell is a rich banker and never revealed ‘ even symptoms of sympathy with the’ prohibition movement and Glass had a better office in the State Highway Department. But the patronage of their respective new offices is a strong lever in political manipulation and their appointments meant something. If this battle is staged, and it now | seems inevitable, there will be fur fly- ing during the primary campaign next year. The animosity between Penrose and Sproul, which began at the Na- tional convention in Chicago last year, has been increasing in volume and bit- terness ever since. The friends of Sproul are persuaded that if Penrose had said the word Sproul would have been nominated for President instead of Harding. ised the nomination to Harding and entered Sproul as a “favorite son” candidate to help rather than impair his plans, and when Sproul took the matter seriously and actually tried to get the party favor, Penrose had no alternative but to abandon Harding ov stifle Sproul’s ambition. And the Gov- ernor had already revealed a spirit of rank insubordination. Besides there are other disturbing ‘signs apparent on the Republican po- litical horizon of Pennsylvania. Lieun- tenant Governor Beidleman moved out of Sproul’s path to the executive man- ‘ sion in Harrisburg in 1918 under an implied, if not an expressed, promise that the nomination would be given to him next year. Penrose and Sproul ' were in complete accord then and Bei- dleman has a just grievance against both of them. The excuse that he has talked too much in the interim is hard- ly valid because he was urged to lo- quacity by both of them. State Treas. urer Snyder also feels that he has been betrayed by both the big bosses and is nursing-a grudge as big as a Minnesota farm. Then Auditor Gen- eral Lewis is looming in the lime light as a reformer and minor troubles are multiplying. But we can see no real reasons vhy Democrats should worry over the anomalous sitwation. And by the same token it would be hard to imag- ine why the pedple of the State should be discouraged on account of it. This atrocious political machine has been | Current political gossip indicates looting the public for many years and has finally brought this grand old Commonwealth to the verge of bank- ruptey and the brink of dishonor. Out of this interneeine quarrel among po- litical pirates there may come endur- ing rescue froin the brigandage that has disgraced the recent past and the restoration of the State government to the control of the people. A Demo- cratic victory next year would achieve that result and in the circumstances there is hope. re le ——The public debt was increased $1,778,000 during September.

BA — Market reports indicate that “prices of liquor show a tendency to take the toboggan.” Omit kidding. Possibly a Significant Question. Former Speaker of the House of Representatives in Harrisburg, Hon. Robert S. Spangler, of York, has rais- ed a question which may develop into an important issue in the impending factional fight or be summarily dis- missed as “a tempest in a teapot.” He wants to know what the official record and history of the last session reveals with respect to his status in the body. A good many other people have ex- pressed curiosity on that subject at one time or another since that event- ful day when he was driven away from the speaker’s chair by a posse of arm- ed state constables. But thus far no information has been given and the official record and history of the eveni has not been published. The facts are that at the opening of the session Mr. Spangler was duly and legally elected speaker of the House and appropriately installed in the of- fice. He tried to be a fair and impar- tial speaker during the session but his sympathies were with the: Penrose- Grundy faction, which was pretending to favor profligate program of “magnificent achievement” which the Governor had fixed upon. By virtue of his office he was retarding the progress of the Sproul plans and because of his oppo- sition their defeat seemed probable. On the Monday evening before final adjournment, after the session had of- ficially ended, a rump session was called, a new speaker elected and he was thrown out. Upon reassembling in the morning Mr. Spangler attempted to resume the speaker’s chair but was forced by the state police off the rostrum and the newly chosen speaker assumed the office. Mr. Spangler protested but was bowled over as an intruder and disturber of the peace. He properly warned the actors in thé drama that they were treading on dangerous ground, but they paid no attention to his admonition. They proceeded in violation of law and in contempt of justice to carry out the wishes of the Governor. Bills were taken from committees without legal sanction and millions of dollars were passed in a riot of confusion and disorder, such as had never before been seen. All this may be justified by expedi- ency and the right of a deliberative body to change its presiding officer may be within the law. That was practically done in the House of Rep- resentatives in Washington some years ago when members of his ewn party revolted against the usurpa- tions of Speaker Cannon. But the proceeding in Congress was orderly and gravely conducted in the open. The transaction at Harrisburg was surreptitiously conducted at a. meet- ing that had been assembled elandes- tinely and without authority. A judi- cial inquiry might result in a‘declara- tion that all business transacted after the event is illegal and void and for that reason the question raised by Mr. Spangler may have much significance. ee ere ete pA rere. State prohibition director Me- Connell has complained in Washing- ton that the system of issuing permits to withdraw liquor from bond is too lax. Probably the Senator is having difficulty in “getting his’n.” -> Putting Men in Holes. The piincigal reason which influ- enced Republican Senators to vote against the ratification of the Versail- les tieaty was the desire to “put Pres- ident Wilson in a hole,” as chairman Fordney, of the Ilouse Ways and Means commiitee, explained his vote on another measure. If the Demo- cratic Senators are similarly inclined toward President Harding, they may accomplish the result by voting for the ratification of the separate peace treaty with Germany. It represents the basest abandonment of every prin- ciple of honor. It violates an obliga- tion freely assumed, to our associates in the great war. As Senator Lodge said in a speech delivered in 1918, “it is an infamous thing.” When we entered the great war it was unanimously agreed that the step was taken for the benefit of humanity and the preservation of civilization. It is not true, as Ambassador Harvey declared, that we were afraid to re- main out longer. No considerable number of people feared that Germa- ny would invade and destroy our coun- try after her conquest of Europe was completed. It was felt here, however, that German victory in the war would stifle self government and civil liber- ty in Europe and the American blood shed and treasure spent were to avert that great menace. The separate treaty with Germany will work an an- nullment of our purpose and a sacri- fice of our ideal. The conquest of Germany is not so complete as to cause an abandonment of the hope of world control. Inter- ested financiers and magazine writers are painting doleful pictures of Ger- man destitution but the junkers are patiently and assiduously striving for economy and oppose the: Penrose had propys—Mmeasures covering’ appropriations of - the restoration of the Empire and the return of potency. The separate peace with this country is the longest step that has been taken in that direction. It has been joyfully haled by the mil- itarists and when the manhood and womanhood of America gives it care- ful analysis it will be universally con- demned. The Republican party is re- sponsible for it and the verdict of his- tory will fasten the blame where it justly belongs. Evil of Industrial Espionage. In ithe report of the commission of inquiry of the Interchurch World movement made public the other day there is a statement which affords food for grave reflection. It is that “widespread systems of espionage are an integral part of the anti-union pol- icy of great industrial corporations.” In other words, the employment of spies by large industrial corporations for ene purpose or another is one of the leading causes of industrial trou- bles in this country. “Industrial es- pionage,” the report adds, “is confined to the United States. What espionage there is in Europe is a government monopoly; no other civilized country tolerates on a large scale, privately- owned labor spying.” lated to disturb the evident desire of : Probably the original offender in this evil is Pennsylvania. Years ago the anthracite coal producers were au- IE DHIY Novis "ph the thorized by law to organize and main- tain a body of spies known as the “coal and iron police.” The justifica- tion for this extraordinary organiza- tion was the Molly Maguire outrages in some sections of the anthracite coal region and if the force had been held .in desiring peace. to the purpose claimed for it in the’ beginning no great harm would have resulted. But consequently it was per- verted to spying on employees who had no connection with the murderous fraternity that brought it into exist- ence and made an instrument of pri- vate vengeance and personal enmity and persecution. ; It is said that some of the great cor- porations in this State and in other States employ a force of spies almost equal in numbers and expense to the 1abésers employed and that ‘they en- courage labor disputes in order to in- gratiate themselves with their em- ployers. Nothing more despicable could be imagined and yet this body of churchmen who have undertaken to undivided Ireland, , Valera has promised the majority ele-! The Irish Conference. From the Philadelphia Record. The conference between the repre- sentatives of the British government and the Sinn Fein delegates is now as- sured. The preliminary jockeying, as was constantly predicted in these col- umns, has been merely a clearing of the air for the real test, which is now set for October 11, with London the scene. Lloyd George’s final note was busi- ness-like and brief, and de Valera’s prompt letter of acceptance was equal- lv free from entangling phrases. “Con- ference, not correspondence,” says the British Premier, “is the most hopeful and practical way to an understand- ing;” and he now proposes the London conference “with a view to ascertain- ing how the association of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British Empire may best be reconciled with Irish national aspira- tions.” There is nothing in that for Sinn Fein to balk at. It will let both parties to the long interchange of con- troversial notes enter the parley with ‘their “faces saved.” _ There was in the preliminary fenc- ing, as has been so often pointed out in these columns, no real danger of a slamming of the peace-door. But with | the opening of the parley on October | 11th the genuine battle will begin. So far there has been no real crisis caleu- both sides to achieve permanent peace, but now the air becmes eolectric. “The negotiations may not be smooth,” says mere fact that the conference is meet- ing proves the one thing that really matters, that both sides are in earnest i If that is so, it is in a high degree improbable that they vill part without achieving some tol- erable settlement.” It is now declared that the Sinn Fein party may ask for “the restoration of Ireland as a kingdom under the Brit- ish Crown.” Whatever of truth there may be in this (and nobody can speak authoritatively of plans that have had little time to reach more than embryo stage), it is pretty certain that de Val- era and his associates will fight for an whether it be a kingdom or a republic. Ulster, which has held aloof from the preliminary discussion, cannot help but figure prominently in these negotiations. De ment in Armagh and FF ermanagit Sha t their objections against inclusion in ‘the Ulster province will have his sup- ascertain and reveal the causes of la- | bor troubles in the industrial life of | the country declare that such a’ condi- tion exists. In fact, according to the report in question, one of the spies in a Chicago” industrial plant was in- dicted by the grand jury for “conspii- acy to create riots, insurrection and murder.” Senator Newberry Whitewashed. The Senate committee on privileges and elections has given Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan, a clean bill of moral health. ‘An Act of Congress limits the amount a candidate for the Senate may expend to less than ten thousand dollars and declares that using a greater sum for campaign pur- poses is a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment. A United States dis- trict court in Michigan found Senator Newberry guilty of violating this law and sentenced him to a term in jail. But the Supreme court of the United States reversed the district court on ‘the ground that most of the money was spent in the primary campaign and the law refers to a campaign for election. ; A few years ago Mr. Orin D. Bleak- ley, of Kranklin, Pa., ran for Congress and being very rich and somewhat reckless spent forty thousand dollars in his campaigns, primary and gener- al. Some one in his district less port. Ulster will probably fight against any rearrangement; and it is over questions of this sort that crisis are aimost certain to arise. Is the Tariff Issue Fading? Irom the Charleston News and Courier. Two or three years ago there were many persons who thought that the tariff as a political issue was dead. The war ' completely changed the world, it had gone. That, however, brought to the front so many new questions of tremendous import, it had wrought such a revolution in the thoughts and in the very habits of thought of millions of people that the tariff as a leading issue seemed to be a museum piece, a mere relic and re- minder of an age that had passed and was too extreme a view. Not much was said about the tariff in the first political campaign after the war; but when that cam- paign was over, and the winners of it got down to work, it was revealed that the tariff was the first thing in their thoughts and tariff-making was the business in which they proceeded to devote themselves to the exclusion of everything else. The war did not change the world so completely as some of us had suppos- ed. The tariff is still a political issue; vet it is doubtful whether it is such an issue in the old sense and there are wealthy and not quite so reckless en- . tered suit in the United States district court at Pittsburgh for violation of law. After entering a plea of nolle contendre Mr. Bleakley relinquished : his claim to the seat in Congress and the case was dropped. He either lack- ed the “gall” which carried Newberry triumphantly through the Senatorial investigation or else Congressional morality has taken a slump since. In any event Senator Newberry sits in his seat with the brand of a crim- inal on his forehead. He bought a seat in the Senate with money sup- plied by his wife’s relatives and if the Republican Senators who subscribed to the report exonerating him enjoy the companionship they are welcome to the company. Among honest men in and out of the Senate he will be some who, in spite of its return to the | stage in what seems to be vigorous health, doubt whether it will hold the stage long. There is, after all, only one thing that can remove the tariff from party polities, and that is its abandonment as a fundamental princi- ple by the party which now has it as such a principle; and some people be- lieve had the party which has stood so § OL long on the tariff as its very founda- the congressional corrupt practices’ tion is now beginning to shift its ground. To these people the difficulties which the Republican Congress has encoun- tered this year in its tariff-making are ‘profoundly significant. They regard held as a criminal until the end of his ! days and he deserves all the oppro- brium which that fact imposes. A man is known by the company he keeps and taking one consideration with another there is little difference between Lodge and Newberry. ——A Pittsburgh judge has decid- ed that women must give their ages in registering to vote.

They in- terpret them as signs of a change coming over the mass of the Republi- can party—a change much more im- portant and far-reaching than the rather superficial change which has taken place in the South with regard to the tariff question.
