Electoral Frauds in Philadelphia.
The investigation of the primary
election in Phiiadelphia has revealed
a measure of political rottenness in
that city that is alarming. In every
election division examined the most
flagrant frauds have been exposed.
The returns in some seventy districts
showed that one of the candidates for
judge of the municipal court received
no votes at all. The investigation has
proved that in one of these districts
he had a majority of the votes polled
and in all of them he had a considera-
ble number. In fact the difference be-
tween the vote cast for him and the
return made raises a doubt as to the
nomination of his antagonist in the
contest. But the antagonist is on the
ticket.
In justice to those concerned in this
investigation it must be said that the
inquiry has been vigorous and search-
ing. Witnesses have been intimidated,
election officers have sworn falsely and
one of the judges of the court prosti-
tuted his high office in order to protect
the machine from exposure. But the
inquiry was pursued courageously and
diligently and the shameful facts pro-
claimed openly. This is an encourag-
ing sign of revival of the spirit of jus-
tice which in former years served to
deter the machine from executing its
plans to defraud. It recalls to mind
the battles for righteousness fought
by the late Mr. Blankenburg and his
associates twenty or more years ago.
But there is “a fly in the ointment”
at that. The investigation will be un-
completed when election day arrives
and the danger is that the prosecution
will be dropped before the criminals
responsible for the frauds are brought
to trial and punishment. On the first
Monday of January next a district at-
torney, a creature of the machine and
entirely servile, will be installed and
whatever expectation of prosecution
may exist at present will vanish. It
is possible, of course, to expedite the
proceedings and bring the criminals
to trial before that time, but not prob-
able. The “law’s delay” is a potent
force in the protection of crime and
only an equally forceful public senti-
ment will overcome it.

CLEMSON.—Frank H. Clemson
died very suddenly and unexpectedly
of a heart attack while in the bath
room at his home at State College
about six o’clock on Monday evening.
Several times during the day he had
complained of what he believed was a
pain in his stomach but it was not suf-
ficient to cause alarm and he was
around as usual.
A son of Amos E. and Lydia Rider
Clemson he was born at Baileyville on
April 22nd, 1867, making his age 58
years, 6 months and 4 days. He was
educated in the public schools of Fer-
guson township and when but twenty-
five years of age was appointed super-
intendent of the ore mines at Scotia,
at that time conducted by the Carne-
gie Steel company, of Pittsburgh. He
remained there until that company
ceased operations when he purchased
a farm in Buffalo Run valley and en-
gaged in farming. Several years ago
he went to Davenport, Iowa, and
studied for the profession of a chiro-
practor, and on his return to Centre
county established an office in State
College where he has since been lo-
cated. He was a member of the Pres-
byterian church and a Mason in high
standing, being a member of Belle-
fonte lodge No. 268, F. & A. M,,
Bellefonte chapter No. 241, R. A. M,,
Constans Commandery No. 33,
Knight Templars, Jaffa Temple No-
bles of the Mystic Shrine, of Altoona,
and the Williamsport Consistory Scot-
tish Rite Masons. In politics he was a
Republican and a number of years ago
was quite active among his party
workers.
In 1892 he married Miss Eva Gray,
a daughter of G. Wesley Gray, of Buf-
falo Run valley, who survives with
five children, namely: Frederick Gray
and Daniel Robert Clemson, both of
State College; Miss Sarah C., of El-
gin, Ill.; George W. and Frank Jr., of
State College. He was one of a fam-
ily of six children, only one of whom
survives, Daniel M. Clemson, of Pitts-
burgh.
Rey. A. E. Mackie had charge of the
funeral services which were held at
his late home at State College at ten
o’clock yesterday morning, after which
the remains were taken to Buffalo
Run valley where the interment in
Gray’s cemetery was in charge of his
brother Masons.

KELLER — Mrs. Harvey N. Keller,
who was so badly injured in an auto
accident on the state highway this
side of Lemont, on Wednesday even-
ing of last week, passed away at the
Centre County hospital last Saturday
evening. The driver of the machine
responsible for the accident has not
yet been apprehended.
Mrs. Keller's maiden name was
Sarah Elizabeth Ziegler. She was a
daughter of Peter W. and Rebecca
Ziegler and was born in Gregg town-
ship, on Christmas day, 1865, hence
was not quite sixty years of age. She
married Mr. Keller on August “16th,
1885, and most of her life since had
been spent at State College. In addi-
tion to her husband she is survived by
the following children: Franklin T.
Keller, of Pleasant Gap; Miss Effie J.,
at home, and Roy E., of Franklin, N.
H. She also leaves one sister, Mrs.
Jane Musser, of Millheim.
She was a member of the Reformed
church all her life and the funeral
services, held at her late home at
State College, on Wednesday after-
noon, were in charge of Rev. E. H. Ro-
mig, assisted by Rev. Dr. Schmidt, of
Bellefonte, burial being made in the
Pine Hall cemetery.

MATTERN.—The venerable Jacob
Mattern, retired merchant, died at his
home in Warriorsmark on Tuesday
evening at 8:45 o’clock. He had been
ill a long time with kidney complica-
tions and was 79 years old last month.
Deceased was born on a farm in
Warriorsmark valley and secured his
education at the Pine Grove Mills
Academy. In young manhood he en-
tered the mercantile business and con-
tinued in it until about ten years ago,
when he retired and turned the suec-
cessful store he had built up at War-
riorsmark over to his son Frank.
He was a splendid type of man,
strong in character and firm in chris-
tian faith. His widow and two sons,
Frank, of Warriorsmark, and Hayes,
of Tyrone, survive. .
Interment will be made at War-
riorsmark this afternoon, after serv-
ices have been conducted by the pas-
tor of the Methodist church of which
he had been a member since childhood.
STONE. Henry Stoner who for a
number of years has occupied the old
Reed farm, near Waddle, died last
Thursday following an illness of one
year, aged 73 years and 1 month. His
wife, who before her marriage was a
Miss Resides, died two years ago but
surviving him is one daughter, Mrs.
Samuel Stover, who made her home
with her father. The funeral was
held on Saturday afternoon, burial be-
ing made in the Meyers cemetery.
Keep this in mind. Any mat-
ter, either reading or display, appear-
ing in this paper that is marked “po-
litical advertisement,” in no wise ex-
presses the opinion of the “Watch-
man.” It has all been written outside
this office and the space it occupies
paid for by the inch, just as any other
advertising matter is paid for. Rep-
tising that is legitimate, but in the
case of political merchandising they
reserve the right, the law requires
{ them to do it, of advising their read-
ers that it is merely advertising and
not an expression of the paper itself.

It Should be Changed.
We are sure the State Highway De-
partment would rather maintain tra-
ditions in the territory roads under its
control traverse than obliterate them.
Because in many ways they record the
unwritten history of a community and
tend to carry the thoughts and inqui-
ries of the present generations back
into the pioneering days when the an-
cestors of many of them were giving
names that meant something then to
places, streams and roads.
We note that on the highway to
State College, just west of Lemont, a
sign has been put up indicating to the
traveler that it is “Branch” creek that
he is crossing. “Branch” is a misno-
mer for that little stream. For a hun-
dred and more years back it has been
called “Slab Cabin” creek and the
children and grand-children of those
who settled along its banks know it
today as “Slab Cabin” creek. “Slab
Cabin” means something in the his-
tory of College and Harris townships
for the creek, the church and the cem-
etery, all of the same name, are tra-
ditions they want to live.
It might have been that “The
Branch” is a later name given to the
stream in consequence of confusion
with the name “The Branch” which, as
we recall it, designated that section
of the district where the Boalsburg
road branches off from the White Hall
road. In other words, it was the
branch of the roads that local desig-
nations referred to rather than that
they were located on “The Branch”
creek.
The same thing applies to the sug-
gestion that the Highway through the
Bald Eagle be called the Governor’s
Trail. While we all honor and revere
the memory of Curtin and Beaver and
Hastings the Bald Eagle mountains
and the Bald Eagle creek were given
their names from the Indians who
knew them long before white men
came into Centre county and historic-
ally the name “Bald Eagle” trail is
the appropriate one.

Spring Township Should Reward
Good Service.
Next Tuesday the voters of Spring
township will elect a tax collector for
the term of four years. The office is
one of greatest importance to every
tax payer in the township. Qualifica-
tions for it are peculiar because the
person who fills it must, first of all,
be a thorough going practical business
man who knows that taxes must be
gathered if the township business is to
pay its way and with this must be
mixed the spirit of humanity that
strives to collect without needlessly
distressing any of the tax payers.
Four years ago Spring townshi
elected DA. McDowell to the office."
He was an experiment. Some thought
at the time that he was physically in-
capable of doing the work. Today Mr.
McDowell is regarded as one of the
most satisfactory men who has ever
held that office.
His 1922 duplicate is entirely set-
tled, his 1923 and 1924 duplicates are
so nearly settled that their closing up
is now a matter of form more than
anything else.
All of this has been done without
distress or discourtesy to any one be-
cause he has given the people of the
township real service. He has had
regular places to meet them and been
there whether any of them came or
not.
Mr. McDowell is crippled so that
there are very few things that he can
do, but it appears that collecting the
taxes of Spring township is one of the
things that he has done exceedingly
well.
He needs the job badly and by
splendid service has earned the right
to ask that he be re-elected.

A dispatch from Omaha, last Sat-

Carl F. Egge, general superintendent
of the airmail service, continued ill
health being assigned as the reason.
Superintendent Egge has not been in
good health for six months ard had

three weeks when he came to Belle-
fonte to superintend the search for
pilot Charles H. Ames, who crashed
into a Centre county mountain on the
night of October 1st. Notwithstand-
ing his weakened condition he remain-
ed on the job until the dead aviator
was found, and during his stay in
Bellefonte quite a number of people
made his acquaintance.
Mr. Egge’s successor will be S. A.
Cisler, general superintendent of the
Omaha division of the railway mail
service.

In their fifth contest of the year the |
Bellefonte High school football tea |
registered its fourth victory, going |
strong Alteona High school team 12
to 6. The contest was staged at the !
and water which soon rendered the
combatants unrecognizable. Part of
the field consisted of a baseball dia-
mond transformed into a treacherous,
slimy, mass of yellow mud, while the
rest of the field was only slightly
more negotiable for the cleated bat-
tlers. Despite unfavorable conditions
which made anything likely to happen
at any time, the game was remarka-
bly free from fumbles and was featur-
ed by two runs by “Dutch” Waite
which would have been very creditable
on a dry field. :
Although the chilling rain dampen-
ed the initial ardor of both teams,
the task before them. Altoona swung
into form first and shortly after the
‘beginning of the second period by a
series of well executed line plunges
and with the assistance of a fifteen
yard penalty pushed over a touchdown
for the first score.
settled to her proper form and by
short gains through the line mixed
with favorable exchanges of punts
took the ball to the Altoona thirty-
yard line. From this position, McCul-
lough, - the local quarterback, crossed
the opposition by calling for a wide
end run, the first one of the game at-
tempted by the Bellefonte team.
Waite took the ball and with good in-
terference eluded several tacklers to
cross the opponents line. The half
found the score tied and the ball near
midfield. j
Altoona threatened strongly in the
third period and advanced to the eight
yard line where they were held for
downs. Heverly punted and a few
minutes later the Altoona quarterback
made the serious blunder of attempt-
ing a line play on fourth down with
three yards to gain. Bellefonte re-
ceived the ball on downs and iramedi-
ately punted and shortly afterward
Altoona repeated her error and Belle-
fonte again had the ball within Altoo-
na territory as the third period ended.
One first down was made on line plays
when Waite again arose to the occa-
sion and by splendid head and foot
work placed the ball on the fifteen
yard line. A fumble occurred on the
next play but Gingher made a clever
recovery for Bellefonte and Waite im-
mediately went across for the score.
In first downs made and in ground
made from rushing Altoona outmatch-
ed Bellefonte but the local boys earn-
ed their victory clearly and cleanly by
better judgment and generally con-
sistent and well balanced play. No
points were made after touchdowns
due to the loggy condition of the ball.
The game was well officiated, particu-
{ lar credit being due the referee, Mr.
Saylor, of Johnstown, for his highly
capable and strictly fair methods.

Our High Meets Jersey Shore
Tomorrow.
Saturday the Bellefonte High school
football team © will meet the eleven
from Jersey Shore. A few years ago
the boys from down the line were reg-
ular opponents of the red and white
and were always considered a hard
team to beat. This year is no excep-
tion for they have been winning more
than their share of games. They lost
one game to Lock Haven by the score
of 20 to 6, showing, by a comparison
of scores between them, Lock Haven,
Altoona and Bellefonte, that B. H. S.
will have to show everything they
have in order to take the honors. Last
Saturday Jersey Shore beat Williams-
port 14-0. A heavy team, a fighting
team, one that knows the fundament-
als and the higher elements of foot-
ball—that is Jersey Shore. They have
two backs that are smaller editions of
Red Grange and an aerial attack that
includes every type of pass in use.
The Bellefonte High gridders know
they have a mighty task before them
and have been practicing hard all
week to the accomplishment of that
task. The victory over Altoona Sat-
urday shows their capabilities, tied
down as they were by a muddy field.
Since they came out of the game with
no injuries, they will present their
full strength on Saturday. Jersey
Shore is bringing a crowd of rooters
to celebrate their victory, a victory
which our boys positively state will
not happen. The game will be played
on. Hughes field and the kick-off is
I scheduled for 2:30.
In behalf of the football squad, the
High school takes this occasion to pub-
licly thank Mr. T. Clayton Brown.
The owner of the Scenic has weekly
presented complimentary passes for
the movies to each member of the
squad. These passes are good at eith-
er the Moose Temple or Scenic thea-
tres and are highly appreciated by the
recipients.

113 to 6. Raining most of the after-
noon it was a horrible day for foot-
ball and while Beaver field, at State
College, is covered with sod the
ground was so soft from the recent
rains that the sod tore up in big
chunks and the players were coated
with mud during most of the game.
The mud and the rain caused frequent ,
fumbles and rendered the game any-
thing but a correct test of the strength
of the opposing teams.

The Last Word in the Campaign.
In any political campaign there are
always rumors, hearsays and individ-
uals quoted. I take this last opportu-
nity to say publicly that while I have
conducted an active - and aggressive
campaign— just as stated before the
primary election—I have not either
publicly or privately uttered one
word of personal criticism, of abuse,
or advanced a single reason for my
election which reflected on the charac-
ter or integrity of either of my op-
ponents, Mr. Keller or Mr. Dale. Both
are men of unimpeachable character.
In the spirit of fairness to my oppo-
nents I want to say that-I do not be-
lieve either of them have said or en-
{couraged anything reflecting on my
character. False, unwarranted and
vicious rumors have been circulated
against me by some partisan workers
who did, and always will, allow their
party zeal to blind them to the truth,
for which moreover I do not hold my
opponents responsible.

Why Not Pass the Plums Around.
Charles Schaeffer is a candidate for
collector of taxes for Bellefonte. He
is exemplary in habits, has had splen-
did business training and is the type
of christian young manhood who
should be encouraged.
The office is one that pays about
$16,000 for the term of four years.
One term ought to set the man who
has been lucky enough to have it on
his feet, fortified for a good start.
Why not pass it around and give oth-
ers a chance, when they have ability
to do just as good work and possibly
better?
Vote for Charles Schaeffer for col-
lector. Give him his chance.

Spring Township Voters Probably
Favor Bond Issue.
The meeting of Spring township tax
payers, held in the court house on
Wednesday evening, was not as large-
ly attended as it should have been, be-
cause the question at issue is one of
paramount interest to every resident
of that township. It has to do with
the proposed issue of $64,000 worth of
bonds, the money to be used for the
erection of a new and adequate school
building at Pleasant Gap, and which
the voters will be called upon to sanc-
tion or reject at the polls next Tues-
day.
The situation is as follows: The
southern portion of Spring township
has not ample school facilities for all
its children of school age, and the
school board is up against the prop-
osition of providing more room. All
the present school buildings are prac-
tically obsolete and the board has the
power to decide the question of the
erection of another small building or
one large enough to permit of cen-
tralizing all the schools in the south
side, nine in number, and the High
school in addition. The directors are
inclined to the centralization proposi-
tion, and they have the authority to
increase the millage to obtain funds
to carry out their plans or float a bond
issue, but the latter can only be done
with the consent of the majority of
the voters. As it looks now, the new
school building will be built, and the
only question at issue is the way of
financing it.
At the present time the school mill-
age in Spring township is 15 mills,
which on a $5,000 valuation makes the
school tax $75. If the millage is rais-
ed to 35 it will mean a tax of $175. If
the bond issue is aproved the direc-
tors are confident they can float it
without any increase in millage.
The erection of one building at
Pleasant Gap is designed to take care
of all the schools in the southern por-
tion of the township. As stated
above, this will be the consolidation of
nine schools, and as the State allows
$200 per school where centralization is
made this will mean $1,800 additional
the school district will receive from
the State. The pupils from the schools
that will be closed will be transported
to Pleasant Gap, and the State will
pay sixty per cent. of the cost of
transportation. At the present time
Spring township is paying the Belle-
fonte school board upwards of $500 a
month for pupils coming to the High
school here. With adequate High
school facilities of its own this bill
would be cut down about sixty per
cent.
These are facts every voter in
Spring township should consider when
he goes to the polls next Tuesday to
cast his ballot either for or against
the bond issue.

Irvin S. Cobb, the well known
magazine writer evidently has a dou-
ble. On Wednesday morning a story
reached this office that Mr. Cobb, in
company with several members of the
State Welfare Department, had gone
to Rockview penitentiary and we had
visions of that institution being im-
mortalized in a series of magazine ar--
ticles, but inquiry of penitentiary of-
ficials brought the information that
the supposed Mr. Cobb was not a cob
of any kind. Two of the men were
minor officials in the Welfare Depart-
ment and the other man merely made
the trip to the penitentiary out of cu--
riosity.
