night while the McMillans were at
the theatre. Jewelry and clothing
constituted the loot taken.

——Winter is fast forging to a
close but the Scenic is still showing
good pictures at the same old place.
The motion picture is perhaps the
greatest source of entertainment in
the country today and manager T.
Clayton Brown keeps the Scenic right
up in the forefront in quality of pic-
tures and late releases.
Bellefonters have had no rea-
on to kick for the lack of entertain-
ment this week. On Monday night
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was in evidence.
Tuesday night there was “Biz Biz” at
the opera housse and the Democratic
love-feast at the Brockerhoff house.
Wednesday evening the Elks enter-
tained and last night the business men
banqueted at the Bush house. This
evening the Catholic Daughters of
America will hold a dance in the ar-
" mory and Dr. Tope will lecture in the
court house.
——The several hundred persons
who were at the opera house on Tues-
day evening to see the “Image of Biz
Biz,” as rendered by the High school
glee club, were impressed with the
fact that considerable talent was dis-
played by all of the young actors and
actresses. Notwithstanding the fact
that the cast was unusually large
every one in it had been so complete-
ly drilled by Mrs. Krader that the
parts were all carried off smoothly
and in a most pleasing manner. Some-
thing over two hundred dollars were
realized as the result of the enter-
tainment.
Miss Helen M. Saward, instruc-
tor in the Industrial and Fine Arts
department of State College, will be
the speaker of the evening at the Feb-
ruary meeting of the Woman's club, to
be held in the director’s room of the
High school building Monday even-
ing. Miss Saward’s talk will be on
the use of the applied art in textile
decoration, especially with reference
to technique employed in Batik work
and block printing. Her illustrations
and the samples of work which she
will exhibit will be most interesting.
The public is very cordially invited to
hear Miss Saward, who will begin her
talk at 8:30, immediately following
the business meeting of the club.

Tuesday night. The occasion was a
dinner suggested, arranged and car-
The prudent Bellefonfer will | ried through by some of the younger :
men of the party in co-operation with
a committee composed of still young-
er members than they—the ladies. It
was probably the first political gath-
ering of any sort held within the con-
fines of Old Centre at which even the
keen nostrils of “Pussey foot” John-
son, the pioneer rum-smelling sleuth
of Oklahoma, might have sniffed in
vain for the scent of liquor. Unique
as it was in this respect it was more
so in the total absence of the brass-
band, blow-hard, claim all, concede
nothing brand of politics. In reality
it was a gathering of ladies and gen-
tlemen from all parts of Centre coun-
ty really serious in their desire to re-
vive the only agency through which
they have hope of dragging the coun-
ty, State and nation out of the slough
of despair into which they have fall-
en. The attendance, both in numbers
and earnestness, exceeded the expec-
tations of the most sanguine. It was
well that many of the roads leading
to the county seat were well nigh im-
passable for, as it was, the seating
capacity of the Brockerhoff hotel din-
ing room, where the dinner was serv-
ed, was taxed to capacity and some
who could not be served were content
to simply sit, see and listen.
The dinner had been set for seven-
thirty and long before that time the
lobby of the hotel was crowded with
Democrats, old war horses of the par-
ty and youngsters learning their first
lessons in the duties which affiliation
with it impose. The time passed all
too soon for, while the doors of the
dining room were not opened until
eight there were so many old friends
to greet and so many new ones to
meet that almost we wished that there
would be no dinner at all.
At eight, however, the Odd Fellows
orchestra struck up a march and the
procession started. It was not long
until all those who cared to dine had
found their places, the committee in
charge having deftly kept the sheep
and the goats from flocking too close-
ly together. The menu was not elab-
orate. It was only a dollar dinner, but
all the way through,—soup, roast
chicken, vegetables, salad, ice cream,
coffee and cake—it was palatably pre-
pared and nicely served. To us itl
seemed more like a congenial family
dinner than a formal political func-
tion. Frequently we scanned the ta-
bles and not once did we detect a
bored look on the face of any who was
seated at them. An hour and a half
passed so pleasantly that most were
surprised when John Blanchard Esq.,
who acted as toastmaster, called for
attention and delivered what in the
old convention days we would have
called the key-note speech. He had
little difficulty in expressing the pur-
pose and spirit of the meeting. The
latter, at least, would have been ap-
parent to the most obtuse loiterer
about the place. He announced that
the speaking program would be con-
fined to those from a distance who had
responded to the committee’s invita-
tion, and to only a few from other
parts of the county, thus peremptorily
and happily plugging any Bellefonte
spouts that might have been moved
to flow.
Mrs. Robert Fleming Allen, of Wil-
liamsport, was the first speaker. She
needed no introduction here, for she
put herself on a pedestal, so far as
Centre county Democracy is concern-
ed, when she spoke in the court house
in the campaign two years ago. The
overwhelming defeat of her party
then has cooled none of Mrs. Allen’s
enthusiasm, shattered none of her
hopes or lost any of her charm. She
was followed by Charles Foster, of
State College, who talked more truth
than poetry. Having lived in the days
when Democrats were Democrats and
did things for principle, rather than
for personal gain, he just naturally
wanted to know why there isn’t the
same spirit now, then answered his
own question by stating that the
Democrat of today is not careful
enough about the kind of political lit-
erature he reads.
Randall Miller, the young banker of
Millheim, spoke for the Gibraltar of
Centre’s Democracy. And he spoke
well. It is our opinion that his remi-
niscent story of the State-Harvard
football tie brought out the point, and
the only one, that points the way to
reascendency of Democracy: Not
merely to work hard, but to work
harder than our opposition.
Mrs. Frank Fisher, of Centre Hall,
chairman of the women’s wing of the
party, calm, confident and sincere, ap-
pealed especially to the new voters
to take their franchise seriously. To
be active and constructive in this pub-
lic service so that it might never be
said that the enfranchisement of wom-
en had brought nothing to the cause
of good government.
When Mrs. Fisher had concluded
Mr. Blanchard introduced J. Frank
Snyder Esq., of Clearfield. Mr. Sny-
der has been active in politics in
Pennsylvania for many years. Being
in both our senatorial and congres-
sional districts he has first hand
knowledge of just what we have been
and done for a long time. He urged
harmony and cohesion in the party
ranks as being peculiarly requisite, at
this time, for victory in the congres-
sional and state elections next fall.
Truly did he say that there are more
than mere signs of revolt against the
burden of taxation imposed upon the
people of this Commonwealth by an
arrogant machine that uses money for
its own purposes, while schools and
hospitals of the State are closing their
doors for want of it. He said: “The
Republican machine no longer asks
the people whom they would have to
fill the public offices, but it hurries
away to San Lucie, Florida, and there
dictates the nominations and the peo-
ple have no choice in the matter other
than what has been offered by one of
the machine’s most notorious crea-
tions: “to move to some other State
if we don’t like it.”
Mr. Snyder seemed to sense the
spirit and voice the thoughts of that |
intensely earnest gathering when he
said: “If the Democratic party sim-
ply seek the offices and have no high-
er purpose, no great good could be ac-
complished by a victory at the polls
in November.
stands unitedly for the principles of
good government and its candidates,
if elected, treat public office as a pub-
lic trust, then we will have what is
most to be desired, a change here in
Pennsylvania. And we will have that
change if we nominate men who are
above suspicion and can inspire the
confidence of the thousands of Repub-
licans who are waiting for us to act,
hoping that through the medium of
our party and its candidates they can
lift their beloved Pennsylvania out of
the shadow which has been cast over
it by the corrupt and arrogant ma-
chine that has arrogated to itself the
unholy privilege of being master of
their party.”
It was after eleven when Mr. Sny-
der concluded his splendid address.
We regret that we have been unable
to get all of it in type for those who
were not able to hear the spoken
word. Suffice it to say that its spirit
will be carried to all points of the
county and help much in the effort
Centre county must surely be going
to make to correct the evils of gov-
ernment.
In conclusion a vote of thanks was
given to Mrs. Allen, Mr. Snyder, the
committee of ladies and gentlemen in
charge of the dinner and the toast-
master, Mr. Blanchard, was author-
ized to send the following letter to the
man in whose ideals the Democrats of
Centre county sees the only hope of
making the world a better place in
which to live.
Bellefonte, Pa., February 22,
Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:—
A large and very successful dinner
of Democrats of Centre county, Penn-
sylvania, attended by representative
men and women, was held here last
evening. The purpose of the meeting
was, to foster a spirit of united and
effective action throughout Centre coun-
ty at the approaching primaries and in
the next campaign, in furtherance of
the desire to place the Democratic
party on a high and broad plane of en-
lightened public service in County,
State and Nation. The outstanding
features of the meeting were, a hearty
appreciation of your distinguished
services as President of the United
States throughout your two terms,
both in peace and in war; and particu-
larly our appreciation of your uncon-
quered and unconquerable accomplish-
ments, resulting in the inestimable
benefits to America and the World in
the establishment of the League of Na-
tions. There was also the warmest
sympathy for you in the loss of your
health through your untiring efforts—
a service as self-sacrificing and as pa-
triotic as that of any soldier who lost
his health or his life in the trenches;
and joined with this sympathy was the
earnest hope that your health will con-
tinue to improve and that ultimately
you will be restored to full physical
vigor.
As toast master it has been delegat-
ed to me to inform you of this domi-
nant feeling, at this dinner.
Very respectfully and devotedly yours,
JOHN BLANCHARD.

Elected on First Ballot at Monday
Evering’s Meeting of Borough
Council.
Robert Kline, of the Undine fire
company, was elected chief fire mar-
shal at Monday night’s meeting of
borough council and will be practical-
ly responsible for the care and upkeep
of the new pumpers during the cur-
rent year. . At the regular meeting of
council two weeks ago four votes each
were cast for Mr. Kline and J. D. Sei-
bert, the president declining to vote.
Kline’s original supporters were
Messrs. Bradley, Emerick, Flack and
Hazel, while those who voted for Sei-
bert were Messrs. Brouse, Cunning-
ham, Fauble and Waite. When the
question was called up for further ac-
tion on Monday evening the Fire and
Police committee had no further rec-
ommendations to make and the pres-
! ident of council instructed the secre-
tary to call the roll. On the first roll
call Waite switched from Seibert to
Kline, making the vote 5 to 3, and the
latter was declared elected. Kline is
chief of the Undine fire company but
will resign that office before being
sworn in as chief fire marshal.
Every member was present at the
meeting Monday evening. There were
no verbal communications and the
only written one was a létter from
the Eureka Fire Hose company re-
garding some damaged hose returned
by the fire department. If the damage
is a result of a defect in making the
hose will be replaced.
The Street committee reported the
collection of $186.50 on the Pine street
paving.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $55.50 on the 1920 water
duplicate. The committee further re-
ported that James R. Hughes, head-
master of the Bellefonte Academy,
had inquired regarding a rebate of
the water taxes against the Academy
during the three months it was being
rebuilt following the fire of last sum-
mer. Instead of allowing a rebate the
committee recommended that no
charge be made for filling the swim-
ming pool last fall, and the recom-
mendation was approved by council.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the burgess’ check for $32.50
for fines and licenses collected. The
committee also reported that officials
of the Pennsylvania Match company
had been interviewed regarding the
placing of the fire alarm on their
plant, and were informed that the
head of steam carried during the night
and also from Saturday noon until
Monday morning was not sufficient to
blow the alarm, hence it would be of
little service there. The committee
further reported that a new roof
: would be necessary and some interior
repairs needed to put the borough
lockup in shape for use. Inquiry had
been made regarding the use of a cell
in the jail and the committee had been
informed that the sheriff’s fees would
be fifty cents for each commitment,
one dollar a day board and fifty cents
for a discharge. The question was
referred back to the committee for
further investigation.
The secretary presented the bond of
borough manager in the sum of $500,
which was approved by council. Coun-
cil also fixed the bond of the borough
solicitor at $500 and that of the bor-
ough treasurer at $16,000.
Borough solicitor N. B. Spangler
' was present and informed council that
the only way to decide the ownership
of the old plant of the Bellefonte
Steam Heat and Gas company was to
bring an action in the Dauphin county
court to compel the Attorney General
to annul the charter. This would cost
anywhere from $250 to $400, but it
was the only way in which the legal
ownership of the property could be as-
certained. The matter was referred
to the Finance committee.
Mr. Emerick inquired if anything
was being done to put the Lamb street
bridge in a safe condition for travel,
and was informed that the bridge in
question is a joint county and borough
bridge and while the matter had been
brought to the attention of the Coun-
ty Commissioners several times they
each time decla»2d they had no money
to put into the bridge. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
and borough solicitor, and pending
their further investigation the bor-
ough manager was instructed to put
up substantial signs at each end of
the bridge as a warning to traffic of
its unsafe condition.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that policeman Yerger needed
a new overcoat and after some discus-
sion the matter was referred back to
the committee for recommendation at
the next meeting.
Borough manager Seibert called at-
tention to the dangerous condition of
the pavement at the Benner property,
on High street, where a number of
people have fallen during the winter.
He suggested as a means of tempo-
rary relief roughing the pavement,
and the president referred the matter
to the Street committee and borough
manager with power and instructions
to put it in as safe condition as possi-
ble.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $10,718.78, which included $9,800
payment for one of the new pumpers,
after which council adjourned.
