—The war in the Republican par-
ty in Pennsylvania isn’t to give the
State better government. It is to
get the jobs for others than them
that have them.
Five Lyons, Nebraska, youth
died because they drank an anti-
freeze olution thinking it to be home
made wine. We don’t know how old
or how large a place Lyons is, but
we would like to know whether five
other persons ever drank themselves
to death there in the whole history
of the town.

til April twentieth most of the new

like the hat that the Dean of Men at
The Pennsylvania State College
wrote an elegy about last fall. If
what we mean is not quite clear to
you it is evident that you never saw
the Dean’s hat. It looked like the

— We are advised by an anony-
mous correspondent to watch Cal.
Our informant calls him a “cutie.”
She says he is “visiting around
among his friends, after shunting the
inevitable onto the shoulders of
Hoover, merely to get ready for
1932.” Being a guest every where
he goes costs Cal nothing. She even
suggests that the butt of a cigar he
threw to the mob of sycophants in
California would never have reach-
ed them had not the original been
given to him.
If Kiwanis sponsored the debate
that was held in the court house here
last Friday night then Kiwanis ought
to be ashamed of itself. We don‘t
know yet whether that young man
from Asbury college who got up and
opened his address with a very grace-
ful expression of gratitude for the
splendidly cordial reception Pennsyl-
vania was greeting him and his co'-
league with was being satirical or
nierely repeating something that nad

something that didn’t materia’ize. If
there had been Texas hot weiners

But if we are to believe what’ our
Near East Relief friends—and our
Near East Relief friends are nearly
all Anti-Saloon Leaguers—have to
say about what the Turks do tothe
Armenians we should think they
ought to be knocking old Zaro Agha
in the head. Giving him such a nice
long trip won't convince many Amer-
jcans that total abstinence would in-
sure their matching his longevity.
Besides, it might encourage more
Turks to refrain from the cup that
cheers and thereby give them a few
more years to knock off a few more
Armenians,

of April is approaching and we must
have a cabin in which to rally all
our expert piscatorial friends. If we
don’t have sucha rendezous we don’t
have much luck on opening day. Be-
cause, left to our own resources, we
become prone to reminiscence of how
easy it was to get them thirty years
ago and discouragement over how
hard it is to get them now. We have
a new cabin all planned witha per-
fectly appointed kitchen. We know
it will not be lacking in a single
utensil because we are going to do
what most everyone else just start-
ing to house-keeping does. We are
going to have a kitchen shower. All
that is needed to complete the cabin
is for some one to tell us how we
can pull a lumber shower, a carpen-
ter shower and a plumber shower.
The latter is especially desirable be-
cause we prefer to be singin’ in a
bath tub to singing in the rain.
—The report of the last meeting
of the Woman’s Club of Bellefonte
encourages the thought that the
women of the town are con-
cerned for the welfare of the chil-
dren who are permitted to roam our
streets at night. At least they dis-
cussed ways and means of keeping
them off the streets and we add a
fervent amen to any endeavor to
that end. However, in the light of
what happened in the Centre county
Court, on Wednesday, we think the
Club ought to be just as concerned
about keeping young girls and boys
out of the Temple of Justice when
such filthy cases as were up for trial
that day are being argued. While it
is probable that “flaming youth”
knows all and more of the degrada-
tion that was dragged out of the
pitiable girl who was on the stand
it seems to us that common decency
should aim to shun rather than per-
mit such exposes in the presence of
those of tender years. If what has
reached our ears is true it was so
hot that some of the old “attending
court” fans would have taken off
their coats had they not been afraid
of being invited to leave and conse-
quently missed something.

A Ticket for Democrats to Consider !
The meeting of the Democratic
state Executive Committee in Harris-
burg, on Tuesday, stimulates hope
that the party will present a solid
front with a strong ticket for the
coming campaign in the State,
While the hold-backs—and there
are always a few abroad—will justi-
fy their political lethargy by charg-
ing that the Executive Committee
was trying to cram a ticket down
the party’s throat, such an attitude
will stand on an exceedingly flimsy
basis.
The Committee attempted nothing
of the sort. In fact it went back to
a plan that nearly brings back to
life the old and satisfactory conven-
tion system of making nominations.
It merely canvassed the field of pos-
sible nominees and selected from
them those who would be willing to
run and, at the same time, have
character and personality strong
enough to encourage hope that they
could rally votes. These names have
been placed on a tentative ticket and |
forwarded to the committeemen of
the party in every county in the |
State for consideration and report. |
If the advice of the county commit- |
teemen is adverse to anyone of them
nomination papers will not be filed. :
On the other hand the State Com- |
mittee will interpose no obstacle in
the way of anyone else who might |
aspire to a place on the ticket.
It seems to us that chairman Col-'
lins has handled a delicate situation '
most tactfully.
Some one has to plan for and lead |
the party in order to make it a co- |
hesive, militant force in the State. |
He has done a fine job thus far and |
it will ill become any Democrat to
try to distort a merely suggested
ticket into a boss-made one.
Mr. Collins doesn’t want to be a
boss. He is an old fashioned Demo-
crat and is only trying to rally
enough of that spirit into the party
to get it to stand up and discover
how strong it really is in Pennsyl-
vania.
The suggestions of the Executive
Committee include the following.
Lawrence H. Rupp, who is recom-
mended for the gubernatorial nom-
ination, is a lawyer in Allentown. He
is widely known throughout the
State, As a speaker he has few |
equals. His ability as a lawyer is
outstanding.
He has been a leading figure inthe
party for many years and hasbeena |.

He comes of an old and well- |
known Pennsylvania family. His |
home is in Lock Haven, where he
has large leather manufacturing in-
terests. He is regarded as a wealthy

and has made large contributions to
numerous institutions,
Colonel W. C. Bambrick, for Lieu-
tenant Governor, was former super-
intendent og the Orphans’ Home at
Scotland, Pa. He also served as
county treasurer of Franklin county.
Mrs. Lucy D. Kinston is the first
woman ever nominated for a major
State office in Pennsylvania. Her
home is in Mechanicsburg. She is
president of the State Federation of
Women’s Clubs.
Judge Henry C, Niles, of York, for
the Supreme Court, is one of the most
prominent jurists of the State. He
has taxen a strong stand against
the Volstead law. Both Aaron E.
Reiber, of Butler, and George F.
Douglas, of Philadelphia, for the Su-
perior Court nominations, are out-
standing lawyers.

A statesman is one with a bar’l

A politician is one who makes and
operates political machinery that
will grind the largest grist for him,
A lieutenant is one who rounds up
the voters in the hope that the poli-
tician will throw a small political job
his way.
A voter—on the average—is one
who thinks he is saving his country
and is really only saving jobs for
whichever gang he falls in with,

declared for him; Fisher has swallow-
ed him and all their satellites are

son in the United States is worth |

The Grundy-Lewis Petitions.
The fact that the Grundy and
Lewis nomination petitions are be-
ing distributed from the office of
State Chairman Edward Martin,
in Harrisburg, would seem to
that they
have been adopted as the can-
didates of the Grundy - Mellon
organization and that the cam-
paign expenses of the candidates
are to be “cut to the bone.” Over
700 of the petitions were mailed to
county chairmen and other influen-
Republicans on Thursday of
last week, the labor having been
performed by the employees of the
Auditor General, who are paid for
their time by the State Treasurer.
A considerable saving was effected
‘by that shift of expenses from the
candidates to the Commonwealth.
Mr. Grundy is a very wealthy man
and in the nature of things his re-
sources will be vastly increased
when the new tariff bill goes into
operation. It has been estimated
that Pennsylvania industries will
millions of
dollars annually by the increased
duties. That being true it might
be presumed that Grundy would
be able to pay all the expenses of
his campaign for Senator out of his
own pocket. It is not likely that
campaigning will be as expensive
in Pennsylvania this year as it was
four years ago, when Mr. Grundy
contributed about $400,000 to the
nearly $2,000,000 fund spent to
nominate Pepper and Fisher for
Senator and Governor, respectively.
Possibly the resolution introduced
| by Senator Norris, the other day,
to create a “Senatorial watch dog”
on campaign expenses had some-
thing to do in the matter. But
even if such a committee is author-
ized it is not likely to scrutinize
the source of the slush fund ds
closely as the disbursement. There
is no law on the statute books
which forbids public officials from
giving their time to promoting the
political ambitions of a candidate.
But there is an unwritten law which
requires public officials to give their
time to the State, and diverting
them from their routine service to
, dispatching nominating petitions for
' machine candidates might be con-
strued as a sort of moral
quency.

dition has discovered 300 miles of

Rotten System of Government.
According to evidence submitted
to the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce, the other day,
three Pennsylvania public service
corporations padded their capital
accounts to a total of $9,200,000
for the purpose of fixing the rates
of service to consumers. One of
these companies put in a charge
of $700,000 paid for lobbying. The
others were less specfic as to the
cost of organization and simply
dumped in lump sums, one of $§9,-
000,000, which was $3,000,000 in ex-
cess of actual investment and the
other $11,000,000, which was exactly
double the actual investment. The
presumption is that every corpora-
tion of considerable proportions in
the State padded in about the same
ratio.
The rates for service of these
corporations are fixed by State and
Federal Public Service Commissions
upon the basis of capitalization.
That is, each corporation is allowed
to charge consumers a rate which
will yield a fair profit on the
capital investment. In one impor-
tant case, recently decided by the
Supreme court of the United States,
the rate fixed as reasonable was
eight per cent and the corporation
was allowed to enter as capital an
item of $5,000,000 for a franchise
which had been given by the city
free of charge. Thus the corpora-
tion was handed a license to rob
the community of approximately
$400,000 a year perpetually.
This system of looting the public
is what Senator Joseph R. Grundy
appraises as progressiveness. The
“backward” States of the West and
South have not adopted these
methods of development and be-
cause of their failure to take ad-
vantage of opportunities he would
deny them an equal voice with
Pennsylvania in framing the laws of
the country. As a matter of fact,
however, the people of Pennsylvania
are boobs for permitting corporate
bandits to thus despoil them of
their resources. The election of
Grundy to the Senate will be a
popular approval of a policy which
Senator Couzens, of Michigan, de-
nounced as “one of the rottenmest
exhibitions of government” he has
ever seen.

delin- {
| Blaming the Wrong Persons.
President Hoover may havea just
cause of complaint against some-
body because of the failure of the
Senate to enact a tariff bill within
a reasonable time. It is a certain
sign of delinquency on the part of
the leadership of his party. But
in his recent statement he, by infer-
ence at least, blamed the wrong
persons. The so-called insurgent
Republicans in the Senate are not
responsible for the failure to legis-
late. The Democratic Senators are
under no obligations to serve ris
partisan purposes. Those Senators
who set out to impose upon the
country an unjust burden of tariff
taxation, for a sinister purpose,
areto blame, and President Hoover
ought to tell them so.
The call for a special session of
Congress was to meet to enact
legislation that would assure to
farmers equal benefits of tariff
protection with manufacturers and
incidentally bolster up languishing in-
dustries. But the leaders of his
party prepared, and tried to force
to passage, a measure which would
guarantee to campaign contributors
such unearned bonuses as would
reimburse them and convert their
‘ contributions into profitable invest-
ments. This deliberate purpose to
loot the treasury was resented, not
only by the Democratic Senators
put © by every Republican in the
‘chamber who is influenced in his
official action by conscience. They
had no other course to pursue.
A tariff bill such as was pledged
by the Republican National conven-
tion and was recommended by the
President in his call of the special
session might, and probably would,
have been enacted by both branches
of Congress and approved by the
President within sixty days from
the beginning of the session. But
Joseph R. Grundy and other malign
influences appealed to the cupidity
of tariff-mongers and the wishes of
the President were sacrificed to
the avarice of political piracy. What
the President ought to have done
on hig return from his fishing trip
was to call the leaders of his party
4in- the Senate to the White House
and inform them they are wrecking
his administration.
{

' no influence on the question of tax-
ing manufacturers

| about the Governorship.,
|
Properly Pruning the Tariff Bills
When Senator Norris proposed to
amend the tariff bill by inserting a
suspended on any commodities on
which a monopoly in the domestic
field might be shown to exist” he
ate proceedings in the customs court
“on evidence that there is interfer-
ence with the free conditions of com-
petition with respect to the produc-
tion, sale or distribution of any article
given tariff protection.” In other
words, it is not the purpose of tar-
iff legislation to foster monopoly un-
| der the pretense of promoting indus-
try.
It was this idea which Senator
Walsh, of Montana, had in mind
when he proposed to cut the Finance
committee’s levy on aluminum ap-
proximately two-thirds. That propo-
sition rather shocked the tariff
mongers in charge of the bill but the
Montana Senator justified it by sub-
mitting evidence indicating that “the
Aluminum trust has violated the con-
sent decree of 1912 at which time
there were accusations of monopo-
listic practices.” The Aluminum trust
is composed largely of the Mellon
family, of Pittsburgh, and is one of
the units of the great wealth of that
family. Uncle Andy is greatly con-
cerned in the matter of protection
for this industrial infant, which only
earned a trifle less than one hundred
per cent. on its capital last year.
Senator Watson, Republican floor
leader, is in dispair over the tariff
pill. After a disappointing session,
the other day, he expressed the be-
lief that the measure will pass the
Senate on or soon after the 1st, of
March. “But,” he added dolefully,
“jt will not be a good Republican
bill.” For that the country may be
grateful. A good Republican tariff
bill would give the monopolies, trusts
and giant corporations unlimited H-
cense to loot the consumers of the
country in order to guarantee more
liberal contributions to the campaign
slush fund in the election of 1932.
The country has had enough of such
legislation and is fed up on the cor-
ruption which follows.

Futile Fight but Worth While.
The somewhat prolonged discus-
sion of the qualifications of Charles
Evans Hughes for the office of
Chief Justice of the Supreme court
failed of its purpose but it was
worth while. The object which
Senators Norris and Borah and
Walsh and other high-minded and
well-meaning Senators had in mind
in opposing the confirmation of the
nomination of Mr. Hughes was to
secure in the court of last resort
a preference for human rights, rath-
er than property rights. The ten-
dency during recent years, not only
in the courts but in the legislation
of the country, has been in the di--
rection of exalting property rights.
Charles Evans Hughes has become
easily the most conspicuous advo-
cate of that philosophy.
When Chief Justice Taft resigned
his seat on the bench President
Hoover, an apostle of the property
rights ° cult, without consulting the
bench, the bar or the public, named
Mr. Hughes as his successor in such
haste as to arouse suspicion that he
was afraid to submit the question
to calm consideration. This suspi- |
cion was strengthened by the prompt
olies, trusts and corporations which !
have interests in litigation before
the court and their representatives
on the floor of the Senate. The
Senators who opposed confirmation
had no selfish interests to promote
or no personal prejudice against the
nominee. But they raised their
voices to protect the people from
a grave danger.
The discussion, if a one-sided de-
bate can be so called, was calm,
dignified and free from vitupera-
tion. It is significant that the sup-
porters of the nominee remained
silent while the opposition was ex-
pressed in forceful and eloquent
language. But the new philosophy,

woods. Zeigler noticed that a large bird
was feeding on the body of the animal
and he set several fox traps nearby in an
effort to ensnare it. Recently he sent
Charles V. Long to visit the traps and
he found a golden eagle trapped by one
foot. After much trouble he succeeded in
tying the bird. He took it to East Wa-
