Reminiscent of Circus Days
You need have no further concern
because of the vagaries of the weath-
er. Tomato plants and beans are not
going to be nipped by any more frosts
this season. The weather is settled
and summer is here. We make this
prophecy not because we know any-
thing special about the signs of the
Zodiac, or have we any inside dope
about what the Gulf Stream is going
to, do to the temperature along the
Atlantic coast States during the com-
ing six months. We simply know
summer is here and vegetation is safe
because, on Wednesday, we received
our annual message from old How-
ard Sergant. It came in the usual
form—a program of the thrilling acts
that go on under the big top of the
greatest show on earth. We knew
before the paper knife had slit the
wrapping on the gaudy covered pam-
plet what it was and memories that
we nurture dearly transfixed us at
nce. Years and years ago, when
-he Logan house in Altoona was an
arid desert, flanked on the right by
jhe Globe oasis, and on the left by the
3randt oasis, Howard could always
se counted on to join us on the broad
seranda of the Logan, just intime
snough to wrangle a bit as to which
yf the oases was the right one
hrough which to start the trek to
he show grounds. Year in and year
wut we met there on circus day un-
il business engagements took How-
rd from Philipsburg to cast his lot
n distant cities. Since then we have
arried on alone and every year we
ecome more conscious of the fact
hat circus seats were never designed
or humans of the wasp variety. We
idn’t mind their hardness in the old
ays, but if it weren't that we're al-
10st as crazy about them as Harry
Valkey we'd never endure another
ne, unless it advertised pneumatic
ushions free to all visitors who have
o objective for reducing.
Our recollection runs back more
aan fifty years to the first circus we
smember having seen. It was O’
rians’ and exhibited out in what is
ow Bush’s Addition, on the flat op-
osite the Dave Miller store. It ar-
ved in town on Sunday and Sunday
*hool was in session in the old “Wig-
am” that stood on the south-west-
‘n corner of the present High school
ay ground. The tawdry wagons
lled down the Spring street hill
om Linn. The Sommerville boys,
arry, Al and Robb, Billy Butts, Gil-
rt Beaver, Don. McCafferty and
who made up the class that Rev.
mes P. Hughes had to wrestle with,
led hard to-concentrate on the les-
n. We don’t know how well they
icceeded. As for us, when the soli-
ry elephant of the aggregation
me along we became a “Toby Ty-
»”’ scrambled out the window and
llowed the lumbering pachyderm tc
»d knew where—for to us in those
ys the present Bush's Addition
emed as far away as Stormstown
es now.
That was the beginning. Since then
: have seen every circus that has
retched canvas on a lot.
The first of the then really big
ows to visit Bellefonte was Fore-
ughs. It came in October, 1889.
e remember that because we had
1yed “hookey” from school to go to
3 Grange picnic on the top of Nit-
iy mountain, and when Johnny
urbeck arrived up there with the
nouncement that the bill car was
town, we forthwith beat it for
ellefonte, walked every inch of the
y, biting dust such as is not
own ‘today, and all for the thrill
sitting on our hunkers at the side
car that didn’t have “a darned
or elephant painted on it.”
e first railroad circus to come
p Bellefonte was Bachelor and
pis. After them O’Brians’ grew
: of the wagon show class and
k to the rails. Then there was
Is Seven Elephant Show, John
sin’s, Robinson’s, W. C. Coupe,
Iter L. Main, Gentry Bros,
wnie’s, Sparks, etc., that made an-
Jd visits, but it was not until May
1898, that the really biggest show
earth had Bellefonte on its itin-
ry. Then Ringling Bros. came
t for their first tour and when
y rolled into Bellefonte on fifty-
r cars we saw that they were
yer than either Forepaugh’s or the
num and Bailey shows, neither of
ch up to ‘that time required so
ay cars to transport. We had met |
four Ringling Bros., when they|

er and a little wagon show. All of
1 are gone ‘now but one and the
ibition they then apologized for
become the greatest tented
1sement enterprise the world has
» seen and probably ever will see.
e since 1898 a larger circus than
zglings then was, has visited Belle-
e. It was the Hagenbach and
lace shows with fifty-seven cars.
’e love them all. The spirit of

BELLEFONTE. PA.. MAY 24. 1929.
NO. 21.
A Bright Future for Pennsylvania
Democrats.
In an interesting review of politi-
cal conditions in Pennsylvania, in the
Philadelphia Record of Sunday, Mr.
Robert B. Vale, a most competent
authority on the subject, presents a
very encouraging prospect for the
immediate future of the Democratic
party. He declares that Republicans
admit our “party will have more than
a fighting chance” to elect the Gov-
ernor next year and adds, “there is
rising within the Republican party a
progressive movement that great in-
terests are fighting to stifle,” and
“in Pennsylvania there is a serious
split in the Republican ranks.” To
the arrogance of Mellon and Grundy
and the blunders of Governor Fisher
Mr. Vale lays the blame for most of
the Republican troubles in the State.
But the hope expressed by Mr.
Vale is not based upon the troubles
in the Republican ranks. It is in-
spired by the changed conditions in
the Democratic party. ‘Leading
Democrats of the State are practical-
ly unanimous on the proposition that
their party must go progressive,” he
writes, while “the Republican State
organization is reactionary and grow-
ing more so every year.” This is lit-
erally true and is increasingly pro-
voking public resentment. The Mel-
lon methods are sinister and the
Grundy policies offensive to independ-
ent minds. “There are revolts in all
parts of the State against this sort
of rule,” Mr. Vale notes, and the op-
position is crystalizing into a great
force about ready to strike.
On the other hand the Democratic
organization is growing rapidly in all
sections of the State. Differences
among leaders which have worked
harm have been ironed out and for-
gotten. Bi-partisan trading has been
eliminated and the State leaders are
moving forward in full determination
to deserve the confidence that has been
reposed in them by the voters. State |
chairman John R. Collins epitomizes
the conditions in a statement that
“yoters of the State are heartily tir-
ed of the orgy of extravagance go-
ing on under the present Mellon-
Grundy administration, and in 1930
we will give them a good chance to |
bring about economical and efficient
State government.” That will be a
splendid consummation.
——Press reporters continue to
predict a Hoover victory on the farm
relief bill. In other words, they real-
ize that official patronage is a more
potent force than conscience in the
Senate.
Test of Hoover’s Sincerity.
Colonel Samuel O. Wynne, prohi-
bition administrator for the eastern
district of Pennsylvania, speaking
from the pulpit of the Arch Street
M. E. church, in Philadelphia, told
his interested audience that ‘the
greatest stumbling block to prohibi-
tion enforcement is the fact that
United States district attorneys still
are being chosen for political reasons
and not on merit.” This is an open-
ly avowed arraignment of the Hoov-
er administration. Federal district
attorneys are appointed by the Pres-
ident on the recommendation of the
Attorney General. If the officials
named to fill these important offices
are not up to the standard of effi-
ciency, the blame rests on the Presi-
dent and Attorney General.
There are three vacancies in Penn-
sylvania at this time. The district
attorney of Philadelphia and one of
his assistants have recently resigned
to avoid investigation of charges of
failure to prosecute violators of pro-
hibition laws, and the office of assist-
ant district attorney for the Middle
district of the State was created by
a recent act of Congress. Colonel
Wynne ‘has recommended for the
most important of these vacancies a
man who is entirely capable and in
full sympathy with the purpose of
prohibition legislation. His nominee
has been cordially endorsed by the
prohibitionists of Philadelphia and
the district. If a less satisfactory
candidate is chosen it will be an ad-
ministration fault.
Colonel Wynne declared that “the
keystone of all law enforcement is
the United States attorney. A weak;
dishonest or inefficient United -States
attorney can absolutely break down
the entire system.” President Hoov-
er, in his address before the Associat-
ed Press a few weeks ago, said en-
forcement of all laws is the first and
paramount obligation not only of ev-
ery public official but of every good
citizen. The sincerity, the real hon-
esty of President Hoover. will justly
be measured by his appointment of
a Federal district attorney in Phila-
delphia. If he names a man’ recom-
mended by the Vare machine he will
confess himself a hypocrit. He will
be' degrading the power to the service
of corrupt, politics.
a
Remedy for a Great Evil.
The recent exposure of an attempt
of a power trust to acquire control
of leading newspapers for a sinister
purpose is a matter of grave impor-
tance. It had previously been shown
that schools, colleges and even pupils
had been perverted to the service of
power corporations in disseminating
propaganda to confuse the minds of
the people. Tl-se facts properly
aroused public indignation and protest.
But not until the discovery that the
public press was being prostituted to
the same base use did the country
awaken to the seriousness of the
evil. An investigation by the Feder-
al Trade Commission confirmed the
charge and the power of Congress has
been invoked to stifle it.
But great as the evil may be the
| remedy suggested by Senator Norris
| might be worse. “If the time comes
when all the press is controlled by
| the power trust, or by big business,”
he declared in a speech in the Sen-
ate the other day, “there is no other
' position for a free people to take
than to have the government take
over the press.” That would be
“jumping out of the frying pan into
the fire.” It would be a Mussolini rem-
.edy and that sort of remedy could
not possihv satisfy a free people. It
‘ might fool some for a brief period
and deceive the verv' eredinlaus for a
considerable time. But it will not
cure the evil which is certainly
! threatening and may be in actual
| existence now.
| The suggestion of Senator Dill, of
| the State of Washington, has a truer
iring. “The right of special mail
' rights,” he said, “could be denied to
| papers being used to influence read-
ers in behalf of special interests.”
Senator Wheeler, of Montana, added,
“newspapers get special privileges
from the government in reduced
mailing rates which presuppose that
these papers shall not be subsidized
or printed in behalf of particular in-
terests.” This remedy might easily be
enforced. At present newspapers are
required to reveal their ownership as
well as their obligations and a news-
paper deprived of its mailing privi-
leges and advantages in mailing rates
would soon find its way to the news-
| paper grave yard.

last resort. :
Approves the Wrong Repeal Bill.
Governor Fisher has surprised no-
body by approving the Heaton bill
for the gradual repeal of the anthra-
cite coal"tax and vetoing the Jones
measure which provided for the im-
mediate repeal of the entire tax. He
is absolutely consistent. In approv-
ing the Mansfield coal and iron po-
lice bill he choose the larger of two
evils, for both bills on that subject
presented to him for consideration
were intended to regulate an evil that
ought to have been abolished. But
he approved the one that conveyed
the least improvement. In the mat-
ter of the coal tax legislation the Gov-
coal owners and vetoed the one de-
manded by the public.
The coal tax, which was levied first
in December, 1921, was made an ex-
cuse for increasing the price of an-
thracite coal to consumers in much
for this reason it was cordially ac-
cepted by the producers of the coal.
' But the result was disappointing. The
' increase of price influenced consum-
ers to seek substitutes and instead
| of benefitting it injured the industry.
| As a revenue producer, however, it
| was a great success. In eight years
{it has brought into the State Treas-
|ury $41,607,996, and has become one
| of the greatest revenue producers.
[To an administration ambitious to
| score as the most expensive in history,
|it was a valuable asset.
! But the vanishing prosperity of the
| anthracite coal industry influenced
ithe coal producers to urge a repeal
of the tax. Self preservation is as
important in business as in nature
(and in order to promote their pur-
| pose the operators promised a reduc-
'tion in the price to consumers if the
| tax were abolished. That was per-
| suasive propaganda and the public
| joined in the petition for repeal. The
| Governor suggested the gradual pro-
| cess but the operators protested that
iit would afford so little relief that
they couldn’t afford to reduce prices.
| The double bill expedient was then
i proposed, a stupid Legislature adopt-
| ed. it, -and the Governor has approved
| the bill of least value to the public.

Historic Tablet for Gray’s Cemetery. | pany is unable to give the exact cost
On Memorial day an official revolu-
tionary marker that has been placed
on the grave of Elijah Chambers, in
Gray's cemetery, will be unveiled.
It will be the occasion of an im-
posing ceremony and Rev. Wardner
Willard is coming, specially, from
Harrisburg, to make the address.
Elijah and James Chambers came
'to Centre county from Cumberland
county in 1790. Both having had
‘grants of land from the government
they settled in the Halfmoon valley
and were pioneers there. Elijah had
served throughout the revolutionary
war; having enlisted while living in
Cumberland county. While it has
never been officially determined it is
commonly supposed that the town of
Chambersburg took its name from
them.
Among the Elijah Chambers direct
descendants still living in this com-
munity are Wm. C. Chambers, a
grandson and his children; Charles
Larimer, a great grandson and the
latter's children: Elizabeth and Mar-
ietta, great great granddaughters.
Marietta will draw the cord that will
unveil the tablet. Rev. Wardner Wil-
lard, of Harrisburg; Mrs. Morris
Hazel, of Altoona, Willis Hartsock, of
Tyrone, and Lee R. Larimer, of Jer-
sey Shore, are other great grand chil-
dren. 3
It has been due largely to the inter-
est and material contribution of the
latter that the tablet memoralizing
his distinguished forebear has been
| placed in the cemetery where he lies.

{in its development. He succeeds W.
"S. Wise, of Meadville, as one of the
six trustees appointed by the Gov-
‘ernor, Mr. Wise retiring because of

Many Puzzling Questions Up to the
Borough Council.
At the regular meeting of borough
council, on Monday evening, a writ-
ten proposition was presented by the
West Penn Power company offering
to make a thorough survey of the
town, at the company’s expense, in
connection with the water pumping
proposition, the communication car-
rying the inference that the company
could possibly make a proposition to
council which would be more attrac-
tive than going ahead with the con-
struction of a borough generating
plant at the Gamble mill. Supt. W.
T. McCormick and R. H. Lightner,
of the West Penn, were present and
made it plain that the company is not
at all antagonistic to council’s desire
to reduce the cost of pumping the
water. To this end they proposed
that a thorough survey be made both
of the company’s plans as well as the
boroughs, and if the question is not
definitely determined by September
1st, the date of the expiration of the
present contract, the company will
continue to furnish service from
month to month as long as the bor-
ough needs the same. The matter
was referred to the Water committee
for conference with West Penn of-
ficials.
A communication was received
from the Central Pennsylvania Gas
company, authorizing the borough to
make all repairs along gas pipe lines,

Mr. Hunter further stated that he
has been in conference with two men
who are desirous of starting a knit-
ting mill in Bellefonte and they would
like to secure the brick building at
the Phoenix mill. The building is at
present under monthly lease but the
matter was referred to the Water
committee. '
The street committee reported re-
ceipt of $40 from R.L. Mallory for
sewers, and repairs made on various
streets. The committee further re:
ported that an inspection of the
streets of the town showed that some
places should be oiled and the com-
mitteee asked authority to purchase
'a carload of oil and the necessary
chips to make the repairs, which
should be made next month. Authori-
ty was granted to make the purchase
from the lowest responsible bidder.
The committee also reported a num-
ber of pavements in town that are
badly in need of repair, and it was de-
cided to notify the owners to make
same.
