—We know what brought the splen-

break the drought that had parched
crops and emptied cisterns in Cen-

just had the office windows washed.
Did you ever notice that it hardly
ever fails to rain just after you have
had the windows washed or gotten
the automobile all slicked up? Of
course there isn’t anything to them,
but “signs” are so eternally mak-
ing good that it is a wonder that
many of us are not voodooists.

it always rained sometime or other
while we were gone. In fact fath-

almost an infallible “sign” of rain.
Once we had had a long and devasta-

it just couldn't rain. Then mother

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL.
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, was ,
entirely within the bounds of rea-
son when, the other day, he de-
manded that a current rumor to
the effect that a Senator had been
offered a seat ona Federal court
bench if he would vote to confirm
the nomination of Judge Parker
for Justice of the Supreme court,
be investigated. There have been
so many rumors of sinister influence
at work in connection with this
nomination that as Mr. Ashurst de-
clared, “Judge Parker's supporters
approached the frontier line of
culpability.” If a public patronage
trading post has been established in
the White House the people of the
country have a right to full in-
formation concerning its operations.
The Lobby committee had already
exposed the fact that the appoint-
ment of Judge Parker was in pur-
suance of a partisan plan to
strengthen the Republican party in
the South. The scheme was con-
ceived in the brain of an under-
secretary of one of the Depart-
ments and conveyed to one of the
secretaries of the President with
the request that it be forwarded to
the President. Within a few days
from the date of this communica-
tion the nomination was made. The
Attorney General protested that the
President never saw the letter and
therefore couldn't have been in-
fluenced by its contents. That is
certainly putting a severe tax on
public credulity. Still there may be
something in telepathy.
What Judge Parker might have
thought or said on the race ques-
tion was of little consequence in
estimating his fitness for serviceon
the Supreme court bench, But the
reactionary spirit expresed in his
decision affirming the validity of the
“yellow dog” contract is a sign that
he values property rights above
human rights and thus puts him-
self in conflict with the best im-
pulses of American citizenship. But
if there had been no other reasons
against his confirmation the fact that
he was chosen for partisan reasons
and that every sinister influence had
been employed to secure his con-
firmation are sufficient to convince
right thinking men and women that
his rejection by the Senate was a
very proper action.

Hoover Growing Impatient.
President Hoover is no longer able
to conceal his impatience with Con-
gress. In a special message ad-
dressed in the usual way to both |
branches, but obviously intended as
a rebuke to the Senate, he complains |
of the failure to enact legislation
recommended in previous messages. |
Among the reforms demanded and
neglected was improved prison con-
ditions. “Bills providing for this
relief were passed by the House,”
he declares, “and are now, Iunder- |
stand, in course of being reported to;
the Senate by the Judiciary com- |
mittee.” This clearly exculpates the
House from blame and quite as
certainly fastensit upon the Senate
committee, of which Senator Norris, |
of Nebraska, is chairman. i
The neglected legislation was the |
transfer of prohibition enforcement
from the Treasury Department to |
the Department of Justice; relief |
from congestion in the courts;
extension of federal prisons with |
more adequate parole systems
and modern treatment of
prisoners; vigorous reorganization of
the border patrol in order to con-
solidate various agencies so as to
effectually prevent illegal entry of
both aliens and goods, and adequate
prohibition legislation for the Dis-
trict of Columbia. ‘The above re-
forms are necessary,” he adds, “if
I am to perform the high duty
which falls upon the executive of
the federal laws,” and demands the
necessary legislation during the
present session.
Other Presidents have had differ-
ences with Congress and various
methods have been employed to
bring about agreements. For a time
it looked as if the powers of the
executive department were gradual-
ly vanishing before the aggressive
methods of Congress. Cleveland
made an effort to restore equilibrium
in his polite but firm way and
Roosevelt swung a “big stick” with
partial success. Wilson's vast power
of persuasion accomplished much in
that direction but Harding and
Coolidge supinely let slip all that
had been achieved in a quarter of a
| century. Mr. Hoover hopes to re-
| cover the lost ground, however, by

BELLEFONTE. PA.. MAY
Jumping “out of the frying pan
into the fire” is a futile gesture
but frequently practiced. The friends
of chairman Huston, of the Repub-
lican National committee, are doing
something of this sort in justifying
the use of money paid to him for a
semi-public purpose to personal spec- |
ulative operations. By his own ad-
mission he received from the Union
Carbide corporations a considerable
sum of money to be employed in
promoting the Tennessee river im-
provement enterprise. At the time
his margin account at his broker's
office was shy and he deposited the
trust fund to strengthen it, tempor-
arily. That is what the defaulting
cashier of the Parkesburg, Pa. bank
did. He is now on trial in court.
Mr. Huston, still quoting his own
statement, made a profit out of his
transaction, and subsequently for-
warded the money to its destina-
tion. The Parkesburg bank cashier
lost on his adventure and was sent
to jail as a criminal. No doubt Mr.
Huston would have been able to pay
even if his investment of that par-
ticular sum had been disappointing.
It is equally certain that the Parkes-
burg bank cashier would have
restored the money taken if his,
hopes of gain had been fulfilled.
But there is no difference in the
matter of turpitude. If the bank:
cashier is guilty of & crime in what
he did, the chairman of the Repub-
lican National committee was equal-
ly involved, at least until the money
was restored.
But our purpose is to show that
in justifying Mr, Huston for tem-
porarily misappropriating funds in
his possession his friends fasten up-
on him an equally grave offense.

contribution to the Tennessee river

bolster his feeble margin account

to rob the government of the Muscle

Roberts for Supreme Court Judge.
The appointment of Owen J.
Roberts, of Philadelphia, to the
vacancy on the Supreme court
bench is more creditable than the
impulse which influenced it. Mr.
Roberts is an able lawyer of fine
character and high attainments in
his profession. But he wasn’t
chosen because of his fitness for the
service. The vacancy was caused by
the death of Judge Sanford, of
Tennessee, and the South was en-
titled to the succession. The Presi-
dent recognized that fact in nomi-
nating Judge Parker. But because
some of the Southern Senators re-
fused to ratify the nomination of
Parker Mr. Roberts was named. It
was a Spite choice.
No doubt the nomination of Mr.
Roberts will be confirmed, as it
ought to be. He is not among the
very great lawyers of the country

As Admiral Schley said

credit to go around.” The cause of
the government was presented with
signal ability and considerable suc-
cess.
The only opposition likely to be
offered against the confirmation of
the nomination of Mr. Roberts will
probably come from the prohibi- |
tionists. In a speech delivered in |
New York, some time ago, he de- |
nounced the Eighteenth amendment |
as “the insertion of a police regula-
tion into the constitution which |
was thus reduced to the status of |
a city ordinance.” Of course Ge

prohibition fanatics within the Sen-
ate will not stand for that plain |
truth. Mr. Roberts’ relation with
some of the leading utility corpora-
tions may provoke some protest,
also, but it is a safe guess that he
will be confirmed with reasonable
promptness.

most effective system of
Grundy’s Grave Charges.
: Senator Grundy has adopted the
the delinquencies of his enerhies in
his party. He has been running in
the rural newspapers an advertise-
ment alleging that the Philadelphia
Vare machine “want to name their
own United States Senator, control
the Commonwealth, exploit its
treasury, dictate the personnel and
policy of the Public Service Com-
mission and dominate the Supreme
court of the State.” He could have
chosen no more certain method for
achieving his purpose. The country
newspapers of the State hold a
high place in the confidence of the
people and they are read with
scrupulous care and implicit faith
|by a vast majority in their several! oi "ip "eo
communities.
It is a grave charge when made
supported by substantial evidence;
It had been previously asserted by a premium but
former Governor
petent witness, and made a
impression on the public mind. But
Mr. Pinchot’s statement lacked cor-
roborative support. Mr. Grundy’s
charge is not thus impaired. He
quotes Mr. Charles Hall, present
head of the gang, as saying ‘the
as it should be is to get a Phila-
delphian for Governor. As for the
State of Pennsylvania, it is drunk
with money,” This form of in-
ebriation has aroused the -cupidity
of the Vare machine, according to
Grundy.
But after all, the
feature of the Grundy indictment.
“He who steals my purse steals
trash.” Mr. Grundy declares that the
purpose of the conspirators, in ad-
dition to looting the treasury, is
“to dictate the personnel of the
{ Public, Service Commission and
dominate the Supreme court of the
State.” That is a real menace to
the welfare of the people. It is
writing a mortgage on every dol-
lar’s worth of property in favor of
corporate cupidity, welding bonds of
slavery upon every individual and
urverting the powers of govern-
{ment into agencies of graft. Grundy
ought to know what may be ex-
pected. He was part of the machine
for many years.

The Brown Ticket and Vare Slates.
As evidence that William S. Vare
still cherishes the absurd idea that
he is a figure in the politics of
Pennsylvania a statement that he
has assumed charge of the Brown-
Davis headquarters in Philadelphia
appeared in the newspapers the oth-
er day. Both Brown and Davis, in
their campaign speeches, have been
protesting that their ticket is not
a Vare slate but at arecent meet-
ing of ward workers in Philadel-
phia Mr. Vare declared that “a
vote for Davis is a vote for
Vare and a vote for Brown
is a vote for Vare.” Thus like the
proverbial coon hunter Mr. Vare
imagines that he gets the quarry
“coming ana going.”
Of course the former boss of the
Philadelphia machine is badly mis-
taken in his appraisement of the
situation. But the candidates are
equally in error in their statement
of the facts. Their ticket is the
Vare slate but it was made by Mr.
Brown and the Vare war board
composed of Tom Cunningham,
Senator Salus and councilman
Charles Hall. In the negotiations
with Mr. Brown to form the slate
they flattered Mr. Vare’s vamity by
pretending to act in his name and
it is quite likely that he will be
considered in dividing the “rake-off,”
if there be any, that is, if the
slate wins. Davis was also a dum-
my in the transaction, having been
adopted after Grundy refused to
invest in the enterprise.
But it is a safe guess that the
slate will not be strengthened by
giving it the Vare name, In the
vote for Senator four years ago Mr,
Vare carried only five or six coun-
ties out of seventy-six in the State,
and it is certain that he has not
increased either in reputation or
popularity since. Neither will it
acquire strength by effacing Vare
in the equation for in that event
‘the slate will be obliged to carry
‘the odium of the war board and all
its iniquities. ‘Taking one con-
sideration with another,” as they
‘have it in a comic opera, the slate,
by whatever name it is called, and
the ticket which it sponsors, is in
bad repute and more than likely
will go down to defeat.
