—_ Telephoning from a rapidly
moving train is the latest achieve-
ment.
If there were less time wast-
ed in trying to fool the public con-
cerning prosperity there would be
more time available to do things
which would promote prosperity.
— The expectation that Congress
will adjourn about the first of June
is likely to be disappointed. The
tariff bill will not be through by
that time unless the “alliance” lays
down on the job.
“Ole” Howard Sargent just
won't let us alone. Several weeks
ago he offered to send us a can
opener for our camp shower. An-
other friend tendered a cork screw.
It isn’t can openers and corkscrews
that we need so much as what they
will put our gustatorial organs in
sympathy with—accent on the do-
ings of the corkscrew. Yesterday
we received from Los Angeles a
copy of the “Times” of that city.
Attached to it was the comic sec-
tion with “Winnie Winkle” the
breadwinner, at the circus, the
program of the Al G. Barnes show
and the stubs for four grand stand
seats. The latter means that How-
ard has beaten us to the exquisite
agony of encouraging callouses on the
eastern end of us, if we were
headed for a visit to him at his
present home in Hollywood.
—In answer to the several letters
we have daring us to reveal what
happened on the 15th of April we
admit almost utter failure. Four
little ones that if a warden had
looked in our basket after they had
dried would have caused us some
embarrassing moments and, maybe,
a few smackers. But we've got the
feather in our fishing hat now. Last
Saturday afternoon we ambled
along our favorite stream for only
two hours and took fourteen
beauties on a red quill and royal
coachman. We are not boasting
over this. It is not at all unusual
for us to make such catches. We
only mention it because we know
our friend Cunningham will work
his old gray head off every time we
go out together to get that feather
out of our hat and the net result
will be that there will always be
fish in camp for those who honor
us with a visit. Incidentally, we'll
be sport enough to tell you when
he gets it.
—It is our guess that both the
Scott—Fleming and the Dorworth
wings of the Republican party in
Centre county will be flapping to-
gether for Grundy and Brown be-
fore primary day. And a Grundy-
Brown victory will mean more to
the Scott-Fleming crowd than it
will to the Dorworth faction, You
ask why. We'll tell you. Governor
Fisher is sore at Grundy, but he 1s
for him to save his own face in
having appointed him to the United
States Senate. He is sore at Brown,
too, but he can’t be for Pinchot, nor
can he go over to Phillips, so he'll
come out for Brown. When he
does that Dorworth’s lieutenants will
talk Brown. In fact they're doing
that now. Scott always was a
Grundy man. He wouldn't have had
any standing with the present ad-
ministration at all had not the
Grundy will to be obeyed permeated
the executive mansion at Harrisburg.
Scott has never been out of political
touch or sympathy with the Vare
organization in Philadelphia so that
it is just natural for him to be with
them. And somebody who is just
naturally with the winning crowd is
always closer to it than somebody
who just happens to be there be-
cause there is no place else to be.
—According to some stories that
are going the rounds sheriff “Dep”
Dunlap is getting rich up on the
hill. We hope he is, The sheriff's
a good fellow. He was good when
he was poor and he’d be a helluva-
sight gooder if he were rich enough
to do all the things his big heart
busts to do. But he didn't get!
$22,220.60 out of his office last
year as some think the auditor's
statement said he did. $7,851.31 of
that amount was due and unpaid |
for 1928 and should come off the
$22,229.60 before calculation of what '
he got in 1929 is made. The differ-
ence is $14,378.29 and that is what
he got in 1929. Out of that he
paid his deputy and for all other
service about the jail, paid his
transportation every time he had to!
take prisoners to other institutions |
and furnished twenty-eight thous.
and two hundred and twenty-seven
meals to prisoners in the county |
jail. Inasmuch as there are mo
riots up on the hill it is to be as-
sumed that the sheriff is feeding
them fairly well. To do that takes
money. We know, because we have
never talked to a College or Prep.
school boy who didn’t start “crab-,
bing” about the grub before the con-
versation had gone more than fifty
words. And we know what at
least one college boy pays for the
grub he ‘“crabs” about. Taking
one case with another, since there
is no “crabbing” in the jail we
imagine those who think sheriff
“Dep” is getting rich have another
think coming, Again, however, we
want to say: Whatif he is? Every-
body ought to be glad when some-
one succeeds honorably.

NO. 18.
Work of Senate Lobby Committee.
In suppressing the “confidential
reports on members
collected for the association against
the prohibition amendment,” the
Senate Lobby committee, the other
day relinquished a great oppor-
tunity to “add to the gayety of na-
tions.” The reports by Carter
Fields, a special investigator, pur-
ported to be a survey of the habits
or proclivities of Congressmen in
Washington and elsewhere. The
purpose of the survey was, it may
be assumed, to expose the fact that
a good many of the Senators and
Representatives in Congress who
regularly vote to continue and even
strengthen the Eighteenth amend-
ment and the Volstead law are not
teetotalers in fact. Many of them
are arrant hypocrites.
These reports were obtained by the
committee by processes which are
denounced as in violation of the
Fourth amendment to the constitu-
tion which guarantees citizens
“against unreasonable searches and
seizures,” of ‘persons, houses, pa-
pers and effects.” Under a subpoena
of the committee the office of the
association against the prohibition
amendment was forcibly entered and
the papers seized. During a session
of the committee, with less than a
quorum present, Mr. Robinson, the
Ku Klux Senator from Indiana, in-
sisted that the one on the habits of
Congress be made public. Senator
Blaine, of Wisconsin, objected and
the question was held for the full
committee, which decided to sup-
press it.
This lobby committee has afforded
considerable amusement to Wash-
ington and the country and a
good deal of valuable information,
since it began operations several
months ago. The sinister methods
by which tariff laws and other
legislation has been enacted has
been made clear to every man and
woman who takes the trouble to
observe current events. This is cer-
tainly worth-while information and
if the activities of the coramittee
had been limited to inquiries along
these lines it would have rendered
a useful public service. But in
spreading its functions
afield, prejudices developed which
detract from the value of its work.’
Still a complete exposure of hypoc-
risy would be interesting.

The Judge Parker Case.
There are fifty-six Republicans in !
Of this
the United States Senate,
number eighteen, including the floor
leader, have urgently requested
President Hoover to withdraw the
nomination of Judge John SS.
Parker, of North Carolina, to fill
an existing vacancy on the Supreme
court bench. The reason for this
action on the part of that consider-
able number of Republican Senators
is that each of them believes that:
of i
voting for the confirmation
Judge Parker will be resented by
his constituents and cause his de-
feat for re-election. It is said that
the President flatly refuses to with-
draw the nomination. He will take
a chance of rebuke at the hands of
his party in the Senate.
The reasons given for the opposi-
tion to Judge Parker are that he is’
a reactionary in thought and that
his elevation to the Supreme court
bench will further increase what is
politely called “conservatism” of
the court, already too dominant.
Judge Parker, in a case in the
Federal District court some time
ago, handed down a decision affirm-
ing the validity of “yellow dog”
contracts which is resented by or-
ganized labor. He is also accused
of discriminating against negroes in
some of his political activities be-
fore he went on the bench. The Re-
publican Senators who are protest-
ing against his confirmation believe
that for these reasons his confirma-
tion will wreck the party in several
States.
Both these reasons are valid. The
“yellow dog” decision was an ex-
pression of favor to property rights,
as against human rights, and is as
unjust as it is a dangerous policy
of government. The race discrimina-
tion is unwise and unfair to an ele-
ment of the population which has
kept his party in power for a quar-
ter of a century. But there is a
greater reason why the Senate
should refuse to confirm the nomina-
tion of Judge Parker. It was fre-
quently, but not quite frankly, ex-
pressed several times during the
consideration of the nomination of
Judge Hughes to be Chief Justice of
the court of last resort. It is that
even the President has no right to
pack the court in the interest of
monopoly. ‘
too far:
| Pinchot and Grundy Alliance.
|
Rumors of Trading Candidates.
i The signs point plainly to an al- |. The increasingly current rumors
' candidate for Senator, and Gifford
! Pinchot, candidate for Governor, in
the primary campaign. There is a
' striking incongruity in such an af-
'filiation, but present time politics
' consists largely of incongruities and
absurdities, and after all, a com-
, bination of Grundy and Pinchot
would be no more surprising than
' that between Shunk Brown, Vare’s
legal and political “guide, philoso-
_pher and friend,” and Jim Davis, the
: whilom labor advocate and _profes-
, sor of political morality. Yet this
"alliance is in active operation and
{in open pretense of sincerity. It
| may develop some artistic “double-
| crossing,” before primary day, how-
| ever.
| There is a good deal of senti-
' ment in common between Grundy
"and Pinchot. They are in complete
| agreement on the question of tariff
taxation and not very wide aparton
‘the subject of money in politics. The
! difference between them in that re-
spect is, as we pointed out some
! weeks ago, that Pinchot spends his
‘own money and Grundy disburses
that of others. They are in com-
| plete agreement on the subject of
| prohibition enforcement, though the
articulate
| ex-Governor is the more
on the subject, and they share alike
lin detestation of the Vare machine
| in Philadelphia and the Mellon ma-
' chine in Pittsburgh, but are always
| willing to accept their help in emer-
! gencies. In other words they are
| practical politicians.
| But there are other things in
| their recent experiences which
' might exercise a more potent in-
| fluence in bringing them together.
For example, Grundy is obliged by
| the nature of things to make choice
| between Pinchot and Shunk Brown.
There are Phillips, the ultra wet
; candidate, and another ‘also ran”
‘entrant, Buc Grundy could hardly
| stultify himself by suppporting
i Brown, whom he has denounced asa
| crook and corruptionist, and Pinchot 50.y are acquiescent
has no alternative from Brown ex-
| cept Davis, who is the favorite of
the Pittsburgh “strip,” and the
"antithesis of all that Pinchot ad-
mires in politics. Besides, the
Pinchot bankroll and the Grundy
ability to collect slush funds would
create a formidable “war chest.”
Sl
——Nobody can say that the wet
; candidate for Governor lacks confi.
‘dence. He not only expects to be
elected but thinks the new Legisla-
ture will be wet.
Hoover's “Shadow-Boxing.”
President Hoover appears to be
again “shadow-boxing” with a defi-
ciency ghost. It will be remember-
"ed that some weeks ago he ad-
“monished Congress against over ap-
' propriating funds and an investiga-
tion revealed the fact that he was
simply casting aspersions on the
Senate in resentment of the insur-
gent alliance on the tariff bill. The
other day he wrote letters
chairman of the committees on ap-
. propriation of both branches of Con-
gress protesting that too generous
appropriations threaten a treasury
deficit of considerable proportions. He
did not indicate which appropriations
were excessive or where the scalpel
might be most safely applied. But
"he wants some cutting done.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Senate committee, commenting upon
the letter, said: “I have followed
closely all the measures that we
have passed. So far as general ap-
, propriations are concerned the ap-
propriations committee has held
of Congress, liance between Joseph R. Grundy,
i
to the
them, in the aggregate at any rate, '
below the budget estimate.” Rep-
resentative Wood, chairman of the
House committee, said: “In draft-
ing the supply bills the House kept
within the budget brackets and the
Senate has fallen in line with this
programme in compliance with
President Hoover's wishes,” and add-
ed, “the budget estimate upon which
the appropriations for the new year
are based, were cut about $145,000,-
000 below the current appropria-
tions.”
As the budget is made by an of-
ficer of the executive department
and has the President's approval
before it is considered by Congress,
it is not easy tosee why he should
blame Congress for any excesses that
may result from the legislation. Am in-
vestigation of the subject might
lead to interesting revelations, how-
ever. Gossip in the corridors ascribe
it to an unfriendly attitude of the
White House toward pending legisla-
tion for relief of world war veter-
ans. There seems to be a disposi-
tion among the Congressmen to con-
siderably increase the amount pro-
vided in the pending measure on
that subject and the President
seems to think it is amply liberal
at present.
among the supporters of the Brown-
Davis slate has forced chairman
Bernard Myers, manager of the
combination, to protest. In a state-
ment, issued the other day, Mr.
Myers complains that “propaganda
is being sent over the State that in
certain counties our leaders are car-
rying none but Secretary Davis, and
in order to complete these wild
tales of dissaffection, reports have
spread that men close to General
Brown are willing to make trades
with opposing candidates. No Re-
publican with common political sense
will give attention to such stories
and loose talk.” As a matter of
fact no propaganda has been cir-
culated in that form. !
Stories have been circulated wide-
ly but not wildly that a consider-
able number of Mr. Brown's in-
fluential supporters are striving with
all their energies to nominate Mr.
Grundy for Senator against Davis,
and though Mr. Brown has been in
conference with them he has made
no protest. It has also been al-
leged that intimate friends of Mr.
Davis are earnestly working for tue
nomination of Mr. Pinchot for Gov-
ernor. Another rather well authen-
ticated report runs to the effect
that a number of Vare’s adherents,
including members of the War
Board are actively trading the
Brown-Davis candidate for Secretary
of Infernal Affairs, Philip H. Dewey,
in favor of James F. Woodward.
With the Mellons openly advocat-
ing the nomination of Brown for
Governor and Grundy for Senator,
and Governor Fisher openly for
Grundy and secretly for Brown,
there is substantial grounds for
suspicion of trading operations.
There is nothing in common be-
tween Brown and Grundy to in-
fluence thought in their direction.’
Grundy anathematizes Brown as a
corruptionist and Brown, though
more discreet in speech, abhors
Grundy with equal earnestness. Yet
in an effort
to nominate candidates who despise
each other. “No Republican with
common political sense” can ignore
the rumors of perfidy. They are so
obvious “that a wayfaring man
though blind” must take notice.
—As there has been mo dead cat
found in the Bellefonte reservoir
for twenty years and Mr. Cobb did
not pour any chlorine into the Big
Spring folks who pay heed to the
prattle of children will have to be-
lieve that the epidemic that has
been plaguing Bellefonte during the
past two weeks is what the physi-
cians say itis: Intestinal fly,
brought on by unusual weather con-
ditions. If the public school chil-
dren were as good at their lessons

——Announcement was made at
Pittsburgh, on Monday, that Ne-

mean a severance of athletic rela-.
tions with State College as Pitt will

nual game which will be played late
in October. State has been the'
Thanksgiving day attraction in
Pittsburgh every year since 1903,
and will play the same date there
this year. Next year Pitt will play
at State and in 1932 State will
again go to Pittsburgh for the final
