So much popular interest has been
centered in the Republican factional
fight in Philadelphia, recently, that
the troubles of the Mellon machine
in Pittsburgh have been quite gener-
ally overlooked. But they are pres-
ent and persistent, just the same,
they are serious. The main issue ap-
candidate for Mayor. The sitting
magistrate, Mayor Kline, is a candi-
date for re-election and his record in
the office is against him. But he has
been so servile to the Mellons that
notwithstanding his unpopularity
they hesitate about opposing his
nomination. Their efforts to get him
to withdraw from the fight have not
been successful.
The situation is further complicat-
ed by the entrance of Judge Richard
W. Martin into the race. Judge Mar-
tin is anathema to both the factions.
Two years ago he ran independently
for the Republican nomination for
Judge and literally smashed the Mel-
lon slate. The other figure inthe tri-
angle is James F. Malone, a machine
politician. Either Kline or Malone
would serve the Mellon purpose but
it is practically certain that if both
remain in the running Judge Martin
will be nominated, and it is keenly
feared that so much bad blood has
already been stirred up in the con-
test that even if one of them with-
draws Judge Martin will easily de-
feat the other. In fact the friends
of both Kline and Malone declare
they are for anybody to beat the
other.
There is an old and it may be said
classic adage that ‘when rogues
quarrel honest men come by their
own.” With the corrupt machines in
both the great cities of the State in
deadly factional disputes among
themselves it would seem that oppor-
tunity is beckoning to the Demo-
crats to come forward and assume
control of the affairs of the State.
With this idea in mind chairman Col-
lins, of the Democratic State com-
mittee, is urging the rank and file
of the party to mobilize for the bat-
tle of next year when a crucial con-
waged... The time to be-
gin is now, and the method is the
nomination and election of outstand-
ing men for the local offices this
year.

Vare’s Last Prop Knocked Out.
In a public statement made by
Senator William H. King, of Utah,
issued the other day, the last prop
supporting William S. Vare’s bogus
claim for a seat in the upper branch
of Congress was knocked out. Sen-
ator King was a member of the
Slush Fund committee which inves-
tigated the expenditures of the pri-
mary election of 1926 in Pennsyl-
vania. He dissented from the other-
wise unanimous report of the com-
mittee that the election was so taint-
ed as to disqualify the claimant for
membership and recommended that
he be sworn and subsequently prop-
erly dealt with according to the evi-
dence. He assumed this attitude in
deference to the principles of State
sovereignty.
Since the report was made Senator
King has carefully analyzed the vol-
luminous testimony and “feels that
the facts are such as not to warrant
even technical justification of seat-
ing Vare.” It is his present purpose
to ask Senator Robinson, of Arkan-
sas, who succeeded Senator Reed, of
Missouri, in the chairmanship of the
Slush Fund committee, to call the
committee together as soon as possi-
ble “with a view to considering final
exclusion of Vare from the Senate.”
He also expressed his belief that the
report of the committee will -be
adopted by a big majority. “He has
been losing strength continually
from the time his right to the seat
was first challenged,” Senator King
added, and “will not receive ten votes
in the final test.”
What effect this action will have
on the claim of William B. Wilson to
the seat remains to be seen. Outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Mr.
Wilson had a majority of approxi-
mately 100,000. If the votes in those
two cities were “so flagrantly fradu-
lent as to be entirely vitiated,” as
Senator King declares, it is clear
that Mr. Wilson was honestly elect-
ed and entitled to the seat. But the
partisan majority in the Senate may
not put that construction on the
vote. A sense of decency may in-
fluence a considerable number of Re-
publican Senators to exclude Vare,
but party exigencies may restrain
them from recording the full meas-
ure of justice by seating Wilson.

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
Trifling With Justice.
Harry Sinclair has grown tired of
even technical confinement in the
Washington jail. Three and a half
months ago he was sentenced to serve
three months as an ordinary prisoner
for refusing to answer relevant ques-
| tion asked by a Senate committee
and unless the signs are misleading | investigating some of his business
| transactions. Shortly afterward he
pears to be on the selection of a;
was sentenced to six months impris-
onment for tampering with a jury
"trying him for conspiracy to cheat
i the government. These commitments
in some measure refuted the far too
widely diffused notion that it is im-
possible to convict a millionaire. Up-
on his arrival at the jail he was ap-
pointed pharmacist and given the
privilege of sleeping in the dispens-
ary.
He now asks for commutation of
his sentence which would be equiva-
lent to a pardon on the ground of im-
paired health. In his petition it is
alleged that he has lost in weight, is
very nervous and mentally despond-
ent. The superintendant of the pris-
on states that his health “isas good
as it was the day he entered the jail”
and that “his color is really better.
So far as I can observe,” the super-
intendent continued, “he is neither
physically ill nor mentally despond-
ent.” But he has rich and influen-
| tial friends who will assemble great
forces to secure his release. The pub-
lic will watch with deep interest the
result of their efforts. The incident
will put President Hoover to a severe
test.
If Harry Sinclair had been a poor
man his sentence for these two grave
offences would have been years
instead of months and he would have
slept in a cell instead of enjoying the
comforts of a well appointed infirm-
ary. He will no doubt find it easy to
procure medical evidence that incar-
ceration impairs his health and even
jeopardizes his life. But the state-
ment of the prison superintendent
that “his health is as good as it was
the day he entered the jail” and
that he is “neither physically nor
mentally despondent” is more cred-
ible than any paid expert evidence
that could be obtained. ~The pardon -
or parole of Harry Sinclair would be
nothing less than a travesty on jus-
tice.
— Even if the passage of the tar-
iff bill were postponed for years the
public would have no cause for com-
plaint. The present law is bad enough
but any change made by the present
Congress would be worse.

Philadelphia Machine Fight.
The fight between Republican fac-
tions in Philadelphia is on and the
signs promise a fight to the finish.
A well-informed observer writes, “no
quarter will be given or asked by
either side.” As the struggle proceeds
charges of the most serious nature
will be hurled, reputations will be at-
tacked, office holders will be thrown
out of jobs and their families will
suffer. Ward and division leaders
will double-cross each other and po-
litical betrayals will become common-
place. Large amounts of money will
be thrown into the fight. It will be
a fight almost without a parallel in
Philadelphia.”
And what is it all about? There
is no principle involved. There are a
few idealists concerned in it and they
are moved to the contention by con-
siderations of civic improvement. But
the leaders in both factions, those
who will reap the harvest of victory
which ever side wins are spoilsmen
battling for control of the plunder of
office. Vare has grown rich and ar-
rogant and deserves the castigation
which seems to be impending. But
Mayor Mackey, who aspires to suc-
ceed him in control, is no better. In
fact he is worse because he is men-
tally better equipped and has a clear-
er understanding of the evils of the
system he has supported as a follow-
er and is ambitious to maintain asa
leader.
If there were a probability that in
the bitterness of the pending quar-
rel both factions would be extinguish-
ed or the leaders of them eliminated
from the public life of the city and
State the fight would be a cause for
popular rejoicing. But there is no
such comforting hope in view. No
matter which wins in the present
fight Vare and Mackev will be to-
gether within a short time after the
election and they will divide the spoils
on terms which will be satisfactory
to both. It will be gratifying to
right-minded people outside of Phila-
delphia to see Vare defeated but a
victory for Mackey is no cause for
rejoicing.
— It may be only an unimport-
ant incident but the California grape
growers get the first loan from the
Farm Board and everybody knows
what they are doing with grapes now.

Men Arrested for Concealing
Deer Killing.
Two
Harry Wingard, of Coburn, and
Edward Finkle, of Spring Mills, were
arrested, last Saturday, on the
charge of concealing and conspiring
to conceal the meat of a deer killed
in the wild state in Penn township,
during the closed season. Informa-
tion of a like character was also
made against Elmer Hoover, of Co-
burn, an alleged third member of the
party.
The arrest of Wingard and Finkle
was made by game protector Thomas
A. Mosier, of Bellefonte, assisted by
game warden Miles Reeder and fish
warden Arthur Snyder, of Union
county, and deputy warden A. H.
Hartswick, of Spring Mills.
For some time past the game war- :
dens. have entertained suspicions of
deer being illegally killed in the
mountains near Coburn and on Sat-
urday they made a scouting trip
through that section. Wingard and
Finkle were seen leaving a hunting
lodge in the mountains owned by
Hoover, after carefully locking the
door. They were accosted by the
game wardens who demanded the
keys to the lodge. An examination
of the latter disclosed the meat of a
freshly cut up deer and Wingard and
Finkle were placed under arrest.
They were brought before ‘Squire S.
Kline Woodring, in Bellefonte, on!
Monday morning, but both stoutly |
denied that they had killed the deer !
and just as vehemently maintained
that they did not know who had kill-
ed it. Both admitted that they had
been in the lodge and saw the deer
and plead guilty to being a party to
concealing the meat. |
They were fined $100 and costs, |
amounting to $6.50 each, and being |
unable to settle were taken to the
Centre county jail until they can ar-
range to pay the fine and costs.
When the officers searched the
Hoover camp they found a quantity
of liquor, and Hoover was arrested,
on Tuesday, charged with the posses-
sion and manufacture of liquor. At
a hearing before ’Squire Woodring,
the s: 'ternoon, he gave bail for

OTHER DEER KILLERS ARRESTED.
One day last week game supervis-
or John B. Ross, of Lock Haven;
Thomas A. Mosier, of Bellefonte;
Arthur G. Logue, of Renovo, and
Robert Latimer, of Muncy, went into
the Allegheny mountains and arrest-
ed Joseph Cole, Edward Thompson,
John Kachik, Howard Chambers and
James Rogers, five men employed on
the highway construction project be-
tween Renovo and Snow Shoe, on
the charge of killing deer. It is al-
leged that at the time of the arrests
the men were preparing to cook a
meal with venison ground into ham-
burg. ;
At a hearing before a Renovo jus-
tice of the peace the men were all
adjudged guilty and a fine of $100
each and costs imposed. Being un-
able to settle they were committed
to the Clinton county jail, but when
officers ' reached Lock Haven with
their prisoners friends of the men
were there who gave bond for their
release and the payment of the fines
and costs.
Burgess Harris Gets Some Funny
Complaints.
«Tell it to the burgess,” seems to
be the disposition of many people in
Bellefonte when they see anything
around the town that just doesn’t
suit their fancy, and burgess Harris
always lends a willing ear and al-
most invariably strives to accommo-
date the complainant.
During the past week or so com-
plaints have been made about the
number of derelict automobiles
standing in the various alleys of
Bellefonte, which, it is claimed,
might afford a splendid hiding place
for thugs or hold-up men, let alone
convenient trysting places for petting
parties. The burgess recognizes the
justness of this complaint and has
already started a crusade to have
them removed.
Several weeks ago he was
appealed to to remove a mother dog
and her family of five pups from be-
neath a porch on east Howard street,
put as he is not the town’s dog
catcher he didn’t heed this request.
Another complaint which was
made to him recently was by a se-
date man of the cloth who claimed
that while walking up Reservoir hill,
on south Allegheny street, he was
viciously attacked by a savage roost-
er, and was compelled to kick the
enraged fowl several times before it
drew off and permitted him to pass
on his way. And he naturally want-

DAWN AND DUSK.
In our edition of August 2, we publish-
ed a bit of verse entitled‘‘ Awake,” from
the pen of Mrs. Winifred Meek Morris, of
Pittsburgh. It was a beautiful thought,
poetically expressed and commented on
by many of the Watchman’s readers. To-
day we have the pleasure of printing a
contribution, ‘Dawn and Dusk,” which
has been written as a sequel to ‘‘Awake.”
We regret, however, that we do not know
the author of the charming verses. They
came to us, unsigned, from someone in
Crafton, Pennsylvania.

SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONE.
—Missing since Thursday afternoon of

teller at ‘the Oakland Savings and Trust
company, is being sought by authorities
in connection with the disappearance of
approximately $40,000 in securities from
the banking institution.
—F. B. Smith, president of the Miners’
National bank, of Blossburg, committed
suicide in the cellar of his home, on Sun-
day, by shooting himself through the
head. Despondency over financial matters
relating to the recent failure of his bank
on July 29, and a siege of ill health are
advanced as the reasons for the act.
—While Mrs. Phineas Watson, 60 years
old, was kneeling over a grave in Ver-

Thursday, an assailant struck her on the
head and robbed her of a purse contain-
ing $52 and a gold watch. The woman
was found unconscious by the caretaker
and removed to a hospital where it was
said her condition was not serious.
—One of the best yields of wheat re-,
ported this year in the central part of
the State comes from the C. Z. Robbins
farm at Lime Ridge, Columbia county.
Twenty-nine acres yielded a crop of 936
bushels and the straw, which was baled,
amounted to 56 tons. The average yield
was slightly more than 32 bushels to the
acre, and one acre yielded 35 bushels.
—A seaplane capable of carrying 50
persons, believed to be the largest in
America, is being assembled at the
Philadelphia Navy yard. The craft is a
Dornier Superwahl of the same type as
the great plane which recently rose from
the waters of Lake Constance, Switzer-
land, with 100 passengers. It is destined
for operation on the Great Lakes by a
Buffalo concern.
—J. W. Wilson, 53, a resident of Wil-
liamsport, was instantly killed when he
was struck by a passenger train on the
Pennsylvania railroad about four miles
east of Lock Haven late last Thursday.
1 He was walking on the railroad track and
evidently
failed to hear the train ap-
