INK SLINGS.
—A few days ago Dr. Wilmer H.
Krusen, of Philadelphia, voiced a
warning against neophobia. We pre-
sume most people passed the advice
up as just another one of them things
that the M. Ds are eternally drag-
ging out of the bag to scare us with.
We didn’t. We've always been in-
terested in what ails us. From the
time that we grew out of catnip and
peach limb tea, and nitre and Jayne's
expectorant and camphor bags and as-
afoedita and a woolen stocking pin-
ned around our neck for sore throat
and eelskin around our wrist to keep
the muscles pliable, to the present
we've always been ready—aye, even
anxious—to try every new disease,
at least once. We've had everything
from mastoids to falling arches. It's
just a shame how infested with dis-
ease our heart, lungs, liver, kidneys,
stomach, gall duct, colon and arter-
jes have been at times when we've
had to have something or be sick.
None of them ever “took” very hard.
That is probably why we survived
to keep up the eternal quest that is
the obsession of those who enjoy
poor health. But this “neophobia”
stuff is not for us. Since it is a mal-
ady that inculcates “a fear of new
things” in its victim, we are not go-
ing to take it at all. That's one dis-
ease we shall immunize ourself
against. All the joy of life would
be gone for us if we became afraid
to imagine we have appendicitis ev-
ery time we get a pain at the centre
of a line drawn from one right hip
bone to the billy-button.

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL. 74. BELLEFONTE,
Vare’s False Pretense Stopped. |
The resolution introduced in the
Senate, on Monday, to finally dis-
pose of William 8S. Vare’s absurd
claim to a seat in that body was
both timely and proper. For three
years the question of his qualifica-
tion has been pending. Under one
pretense or another the det2rmina-
tion has been postponed. A bi-par-
tisan committee spent two years in-
vestigating the charges that his
nomination had been procured by
fraud. Nearly a year ago ihe com-
mittee unanimously reported that
«the said William S. Vare is nof en-
titled to a seat in the United Stales
Senate.” Yet during all this time he
has been exercising all the preroga-
tives of a Senator except the right to
sit in the chamber and participate
in the deliberations of the body.
Some time ago Senator King, one
of the members of the investigating
committee, declared openly that not
more than ten per cent of the Sen-
ators would vote toawardthe seat
to Vare. In presenting his resolu-
tion, on Monday, Senator Norris ex-
— Last week we told you that
Nathan Koffman had commissioned
us to write something that would
make the Turks lay off the Jews over |
in. Palestine. If memory serves us
right we also told you that we were
not equal to the occasion. This
week we have another commission.
A number of aggrieved tax payers
of Centre county have come to urge
us to give Judge Fleming hell be-
cause they were invited to leave his
court room and stay leaved until
they could find a coat to cover the
shirt sleeves in which they were in-
vested when they ventured into the
august presence. We bring this up
merely to show how guileless poor Na-
than is. He wanted us to prove to the
Turks that - every one is happier if he
or she lives in peace with the other.
As a hypothetical proposition his idea
is all right, but the futility of itall
shows up when old reality comes
tramping on the heels of theory.
Had we given way to Nathan's com-
mission and hied off in foreign mis-
- gionary work we wouldn't have been
ary field, where missioners are need-
ed more to stir up hell than urge
people to live in peace with one an-
other. We are in whole hearted sym-
pathy with any order that Judge
Fleming may promulgate that
makes for conservation of respect
for the dignity of our courts. When
court is in session we think the
auditorium in which it sits should
rival the sanctuary of the cathedral
in the confidence it inspires. But it-
is not necessary to humilate men
for unintentional offenses. KEvery-
one knows that there are enough at-
taches to the Court’s staff to spare
one who might stand out in the
foyer of the court house and explain
to persons, who have no thought of
offending, before they enter the
court room, so that if they venture
in on hot days, minus coat, they will
not suffer the embarrassment of be-
ing ordered out after they have
found a seat. The order is all right,
but its manner of execution has
been all wrong. :
Why couldn't that twenty-four
hundred dollar county detective have
been delegated to stand out in the
lobby and remind men who meant
no offense or disrespect that a recent
order of the Court prevented any-
one entering the chamber in shirt
sleeves. That would have been a
good job for Boden, but possibly he
might have wrapped himself inthe
dignity of his office and declined to
do it on the ground that he is ‘no
common policeman.” Up at the ball
game, the other day, a drunken indi-
vidual was making a spectacle of
himself and one of the spectators
asked the county detective to re-
move the piflicated nuisance. Mr.
Boden replied to that request in this
highly illuminative language: ‘I'm
no common policeman.” And he evi-
dently knows what he is talking
about, for only last week a grand
jury ignored a bill against him for
assault, notwithstanding the fact
that a prominent business man of
Bellefonte swears that he did assault
him in the office of the County Com-
missioners. And the same grand
jury pinned a rose on him in its re-
port to the Court. We'd say that a
policeman so uncommon as that
could fall into the Big Spring and
come out brushing dust off his uni-
form.
"Since we all strive to have jus-
tice prevail why wouldn't the Court
be lending a hand to that desired end
if an order were promulgated to ex-
clude all women from the court
room who are not as well covered
as the men have to be?

pressed a similar estimate of
the sentiment of the Senate.
, “The only reason the mat-
i ter was not disposed of last June,”
he added: “was because it was rep-
resented that Vare was a very sick
man and too ill to appear and defend
himself. Vare’s health has now ap-
parently improved and there is no
| further reason why action to declare
Vare not entitled to a seat should be
! further delayed.” This is literally the
truth. He has had ample time and
abundant opportunity to present his
defense. :
Senator Norris had no political
“axe to grind” in presenting his res-
olution at this time. The final re-
jection of Vare will not inure to his
personal advantage. In fact it will
strengthen the Senate Republican
machine for the reason that it will
invest Governor Fisher with power
to name a successor who will sup-
port every iniquity that may be de-
sired. There is a contest for the
seat pending and in the interest of
justice no appointment should be
But the Republicans need votes for
the tariff bill and other party meas-

ought to be stopped anyway.

the Senate is now in progress and
it promises to be as furious as its
result is uncertain. Some sort of a
bill will be enacted and the schedules
will be increased. But it is within
reason to hope that some of the
‘rates on manufactured products, as
expressed in the committee bill, will
‘be cut down considerably and others
| may be stricken out altogether. With
' a few exceptions the Democratic Sen-
tors will be against excessive rates
on all subjects other than products of
‘the soil. It doesn’t matter much
| whether the tax on such products
‘are high or low, for importations are
' negligible and taxation will not ma-
| terially effect prices.
| But the purpose to increase the
tax on manufactured products in the
ratio of increase on agricultural com-
modities will be strenuously resisted
by the Democratic as well as a con-
'
ators. Senator Capper, of Kansas,
leader of the farm bloc, expresses a
determination to fight the pending
measure. “Agricultural rates needed
boosting above industrial rates,” he
said, “in order that agriculture
might be equalized with industry,
but that since industrial rates have
been raised agriculture is still at a
disadvantage.” As a matter of fact
the present discrimination against
‘agriculture is vastly increased, be-
cause agricultural products are rare-
ly imported.
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi,
proposes to throw a bomb into the
camp of the tariff mongers early in
the contest. He will introduce a res-
olution demanding “a statement of
the financial condition of companies
seeking tariff increases.” The Re-
publican platform pledged the party
(to ask for tariff increases only for
| industries that were operating at a
loss or earning less than fair profits.
But the pending bill provides for in-
creased rates on products that al-
ready earn larcenous profits to the
manufacturers. The Harrison resolu-
tion, if adopted, will expose these
facts to public information and show
that the measure is not for publie
good but to reimburse campaign
contributors.

President Hoover gave a fairly
good imitation of official indignation,
the other day, when he publicly de-
clared his purpose to “free the
country” from lobbyists who ‘had
deliberately attempted to create in-
ternational distrust and hate.” It
had been revealed to him that three
of the leading ship building corpora-
tions of the country had been
paying large sums of money j
to a professional lobbyist for
preparing and disseminating, propa-
ganda in favor of an extensive nav-
al construction programme and
against the policy of the administra-
tion to reduce naval equipment. One
W. B. Shearer, who posed as a naval
expert, has ‘brought suit against
the ship building corporation for un-
paid salaries and thus “spilled the
beans.”
This is all very fine and looks like.
a radical new departure in policy of
a Republican administration.
It will be recalled that Woodrow
Wilson, during his first term of of-
fice, sent a great number of lobby-
ists, representing various interests,
scurrying in all directions by a sim-
ilar declaration of purpose. But
upon the return to power of the Re-
publican party the lobbyists return-

Corruption in Philadelphia.
There is to be a new grand jury
investigation in Philadelphia. As an
incident of the Republican factional
fight Mayor Mackey, the other day,
mailed letters to employees of the
street cleaning bureau of the govern-
ment, directing them to the addresses
as of record in the bureau. Some 200
of the letters were returned with |
the notation that “no such persons
were known at those addresses.”
This suprising incident aroused in
the Mayor's mind a suspicion that
the pay roll of the bureau has been
padded and he called the district at-
torney’s attention to the matter.
The head of the bureau is a former
employee of Mr. Vare and a ser-
vile member of the Vare machine. |
It will be remembered that about
a year ago a grand jury investigation
of the police department of the city
was instituted. After several months
of diligent probing a vast system of
corrruption was exposed, one or two
machine politicians were tried and
. convicted and more than a hundred
officers and men of the force were de-
nounced “as unfit to hold public offi-
ces.” But the Vare machine, having
control of the civil service board, most
of them have since been restored to
the service. In justice tothe district
attorney and the new superintendent
of the police department, it should be
stated that the restoratiion was
against their protest. It was surely
a Vare gesture.
The impending inevstigation may
produce more enduring results. The
action of the civil service board nul-
lified the work of the former grand
jury. The personnel of the board is
chosen by the city council and that
body chosen by Mr. Vare, is amenable
only to the machine. The lesson to be
drawn from these facts is plain. The
only real remedy for the evils which
abound in Philadelphia is to “turn
the rascals out.” Investigations, how-
ever thorough and searching, are of
no value while corrupt men are in
control of the municipal govern-
ment. The Vare machine is putrid
'and the government of the city will
. be corrupt as long as it remains in
power.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Senate Finance Committee has
done well to cut the high sugar du-
ties of the House bill, but the ax
should have sunk deeper. The House
raised the rate on Cuban raw sugar
from 1.76 cents a pound to 2:40 and
on world sugar from 2.20 to 3 cents.
The Republican Senators have decid-
ed that a Cuban duty of 2.20 and a
general duty of 2.75 are sufficient.

from the Philippines.
This action isa compromise satis-
factory neither to the producers nor
the consumers. The sugar growers
have been contending for even higher
rates than those in the House bill,
and’ they - failed to make out a
ing duties. Senator Smoot’s sliding-
scale compromise blossomed only tor
a day. It quickly wilted under the
criticism from both consumers and
producers. Senator Borah has a
sugar-bounty plan which he will
press on the floor of the Senate.
Virtually all the Senate committee
tariff schedules are tentative, sub-
ject to radical revision by the main
body, to say nothing of the ordeal
they will undergo in conference with
the House. But none will provide a
more bitter battle than the sugar
schedule, which has no power to
sweeten the tempers of its advocates
and opponents.

“Heartless” Big Business.
From the Altoona Tribune.
The theory that big business is
heartless was rather upset Thurs-
day night when the Transcontinen-
tal Air Transport, Inc.,, ordered a
suspension of service so that all com-
pany planes might aid in the search
for the missing “City of San Fran-
cisco.” .
It is obvious that the Transcon-
tinental Air Transport thought more
of the lives of the eight persons
aboard the missing plane than it
does of the monetary return which
will be lost through the suspension.
In addition T. A. T. officials offer-
ed $5,000 reward to the- person
finding the missing air liner.
Such concentration of resources in
search for endangered lives, with
utter disregard of the demands of
business, is worthy of commendation.
