—The reports that potato bugs

to the first dollar they earned we
don’t know just why such an occa-
sion never smacked us on the
bean until this moment. It's done
it, however, so we here record that
the first dollar we have recollection
of having earned was made by
picking potato bugs at five cents
a hundred. We can see ourselves
now, going through the lot on grand-
father’s farm up in Ferguson town-
ship with the right hand stained
with yellow bug juice and the left
guarding the can into which we
dropped the yellow and black strip-
ed pests. We picked them with our
fingers. We didn’t knock them into
a can with a paddle, And when we
got a leaf with the underside speck-
led with the tiny yellow eggs that
was a bonanza, for we sat and
counted every egg and chalked them
down as potential bugs. Counting the
eggsina potato bug nest was a rather
intricate operation. We probably
had a normal child’s mind for exag-
geration and, in consequence, _grand-
father might have paid for a few
more “million” bugs than were ac-
tually in the making on those
leaves, but he took our word for it,
always.
—She was just a plain, simple
little woman upon whom nature had

whom fortune had never turned

was a life of such constant drudg-

that pleasure and leisure were ever
obtainable except through slaving
so that others might have them.
For more than half a century this
little woman has been known to al-
most everyone in Bellefonte. One
saw her daily trudging the streets
on her way to earn the paltry pit-
tance on which she subsisted or car-
ying a bunch of flowers or some
little dainty to a stricken friend.
She was part of Bellefonte, just a
self effacing, patient little plodder
‘whose life has left an impress pos-

sons and daughters of the town
whose lot has been more opulent
and whose work has been taken
more notice of. When the gates of

must have been a ring of joyous-
ness in the angelic chorus such as

for no one knows how many in that
«chorus Miss Ida Greene taught to
‘have their lamps trimmed and burn-

Ida,” but few communities realize
‘what such persons contribute to

‘to a woman whom few thought of

At the end of the day
She still had a smile
At the end of the day
There were things worth while
At the end of the day
Ne'er pretense nor guile
For hope was her guide
At the end of the day.
At the end of the day
She trudged alone,
‘On a mission of mercy,
To brighten some home,
At the end of the day
Church work was to do
At the end of the day
That was for me and for you
The end of her day
Came, most ere it begun

BELLEFONTE.
County’s Primary Vote.
Luzerne
The pronouncement of the Su-
Luzerne county primary vote im-
merses the subject in doubt. The
Republican primary vote gave Mr.
Pinchot a plurality of approximately
26,500 over Mr. Brown, the Vare
candidate for Governor, Mr. Brown
challenged 'the result on the ground
that the ballots had been mutilated.
The Luzerne county court, one of
the judges dissenting, decided against
the complaint. An appeal was taken
and on Saturday last the Supreme
court handed down an opinion di-
recting the county commissioners to
certify the return to the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, “subject to
modification, correction or rejection
after a full hearing” by that court
on September 29.
The charge of mutilation is based
on the fact that the ballots had been
perforated. At the election of 1926
the vote of Luzerne county was so
polluted with fraud that in 1927 the
court directed the commissioners to
perforate the ballots. With the
consent of all the judges and the
managers of both parties this prac-
when objection was made. The com-
missioners referred the matter to
the court and a judicial orde” Was
issued to follow a custom which had
been adopted to prevent fraud by
using unofficial ballots as had been
done in 1926. The vote in a few dis-
tricts in the county in which vot-
ing machines were used was unchal
lenged in the complaint.
The equivocal decision handed
down by the court, on Saturday, is
the more surprising because in 1922,
the same court, unchanged in per-
sonnel since, handed down an opin-
ion diametrically opposite in pur-
pose and substance. Justice Simp-
son, in that opinion, declared “to
eliminate an entire poll, though no
ly because public officials did not
perform their duties properly, would
result in the very wrong sought to
be prevented.” Even if the judges
of Luzerne county did give wrong
instructions in the matter of per-
forating the ballots it was not done
to promote fraud but to prevent it,
and disfranchising 60,000 voters on
that account would be an unendur-
able hardship.

Team Work in Washington.
The administration in Washington,
in team-work form, is valiantly
striving to fool “all the people all
the time” on the effects of the
Grundy tariff bill. The head-liner
in the enterpriseis Uncle Andy Mel-
lon, who in a statement declares
that (the new tariff law will not
adversely affect the business inter-
ests of the United States or re-
tard business recovery.” Secretary
of State Stimson simultaneously
announced that “the administration
in not planning to resort to repris-
als against France if increased
rates are put into effect by the
French against American imports.
Finally, President Hoover states
that he “will make changes in the
Tariff Commission before Congress
adjourns.”
This is literally whistling to keep
courage up. With characteristic
caution Uncle Andy admits that the
measure has defects, but unlike his
spokesman on the floor of the Sen.
ate he fails to enumerate them. It
will be remembered that Senato:
Reed, apologizing for voting for the
bill, enumerated various bad features
and trusts to luck for the fulfill
ment of his expectations, Mr. Stim-
son “casts an anchor to the wind-
ward” to temporarily allay a grow-
ing apprehension of a tariff war
with France while President Hoover
“throws a tub to the whale’ of
ridicule developing in the Senate.
But all these efforts will be futile.
Big business is doing its best to
prevent a smash. The big banks
have made money cheaper than ever
before with the idea of encouraging
speculation and thus bolstering the
false pretense of prosperity. But
share values decline rather than in-
crease. Public intelligence has ad-
vanced too far to be deceived by
such sophistry as the tarif apolo-
gists are able to advance. As Sen-
ator Barclay, of Kentucky, remarked
in reference to the signing of the
measure, ‘while six prominent citi-
zens each received gold pens, all the
rest of the people received gold
bricks.” That is the sum and sub-
stance of the prosperity the Grundy
tariff promises.

The insolence of monopoly was

False Reports Responsible..
It would be hard to persuade air
craft manufacturers that the Grundy
tariff is either stabilizing or im.
proving business. Automobile build-
ers are loudly complaining of van-
ishing trade and reports from De-
troit indicate an almost complete
paralysis of that industry. But the
builders of air ships seem to be in
an even worse predicament, Their
product is unable to find a market
at any price and the surplusage is
still increasing. Bargain sale offers
create no appeal! and as one writer
on 'the subject declares, “no reason-
able offer, backed up with real mo-
ney will be refused by many air
craft manufacturers who were left
financially high and dry by last
year’s business slump.
Air ships are luxuries that a
good many of us can do without,
but that is also true of passenger
automobiles. But during the period
of fictitious prosperity, encouraged
by what seemed an unlimited air-
mindedness among the people, a con-
siderable number of people and a
vast amount of capital were enticed
into the manufacture of air craft
with the result that now a great
many machines are in stock and
few people have the price to pur-
{chase them even at the cut rates
at which they are offered, in some
| cases fifty per cent. off and in all
| cases below the actual cost of pro-
| duction. And this condition is in
| the face of an undiminished popular
'interest in aviation, at home and
| abroad.
| Of course it will be said that men
j engaged in the enterprise and in-
vested their money at their own
| option, and frequently without solic-
!itation, and have themselves to
(blame for the disappointments that
‘have come from their adventures.
But this is not altogether true,
| Capital is always seeking employ-
ment and the absurdly optimistic
‘announcements of the President, the
| Secretary of the Treasury and the
| Secretary of Commerce that pros-
perity in abundance was “just around
ithe corner,” misled many usually
cautious investors to believe that

would grow as the automobile in-
j dustry developed a few year ago.

Mr. Morrow’s Nomination.
Dwight Morrow would probably
have been nominated for Senator
by the Republicans of New Jersey
if he had not said a word about
| prohibition or the Eighteenth amend-
ment to the Federal constitution.
He was widely and favorably known
as a banker and a lawyer and, hav-
ing recently been called into public
serv-
life. rendered valuable public
ice. As a member of the banking
house of J. P. Morgan he had ac-
‘quired a high standing in the busi-
‘ness world. As Ambassador in
‘Mexico he had affected some recon-
ciliations and ironed out some diffi-
culties between that government and
ours. As a delegate to the London
Naval conference he was incon-
‘spicuous but agreeable.
New Jersey is notoriously and
dripping “wet.” If upon entering
the campaign for Senator Mr. Mor-
row had taken the “dry” side he
might have lost some votes but he
would have been nominated anyway.
As a shrewd reasoner, however, he
adopted the popular side of the
question, on the principle of
“safety first” His only opponent
at the time, former Senator Fre-
lingheysen, had set up the weather-
vane and Mr. Morrow sensed the
course of the wind and set his sails
accordingly. But his nomination is
neither a substantial wet victory
nor a disastrous dry defeat. It
simply shows that the Republican
voters of New Jersey prefer a rep-
utable business man to a crafty
politician.
A Republican nomination is not
equivalent to an election in New
Jersey and Mr. Morrow has the
fight of his life before him. He
had the party organization behind
him in the primary campaign and
will have the full force of the Na-
tional administration and the ma-

zation in the impending contest. But
he will have an harmonious, vigor-
ous and militant force against him
and the halo which adorned him
through the primary contest will
vanish. The voters will come to
ealize that his idea with respect to
