    —Monday night's rain was a fine
one. The only criticism we have to
offer is that it didn’t last long
enough.
—There are just two reasons for
the poverty of most people: They
don’t earn enough and they spend
too much.
We are wondering whether it
will be a Cadillac or a Rolls_Royce
that will be parked on the other end
of Linn street after January 7.
— Bellefonte is to have an air
passenger service. At least we are
about to be in the position of say-
ing “Here she comes, there she
goes.”
—This Peabody lady who is going
to move out of Massachusetts be-
cause it went “wet” at the recent
election might have a lot of mov-
ings on her hands during the next
four years.
If we were running the Demo-
cratic party we wouldn’t promise
too much to our friends, the enemy.
Everytime we play the good Sa-
maritan they reciprocate by giving us
a good licking.
— The result of the Timothy J.
Mara suit against Gene Tunney was
a verdict for the former heavy weight
champion. Mr, Tunney got his
easy and, according to all accounts,
he intends to hold on to it.
—If the Republicans go “Wet” in
1932 there will be a third party in
the field and its name will be Pro-
hibition. We hope there is, for then
we'd really discover which a lot of
“dry” Republicans care most for, a
principle or the offices,

was so cold in Centre county that

—There is much talk in the pa-
pers now about the Republican par-
ty being split over the repeal issue.
Possibly it is and possibly we Demo-
crats will elect the next President,
if Mr. Pinchot doesn’t buffalo the
Nation like he did Pennsylvania.
—We notice that Congressman
Tinkham, of Massachusetts, insists
that Bishop Cannon be indicted un-
der the Corrupt Practices Act,
We're against that. We arrogate
to ourselves the right to jump into
the Methodist church. When any-
body else undertakes to filch that
prerogative we're a Methodist.
«—Maybe we could get out of the
depression by following the example
of Soviet Russia. Over there they,
are trying to stabilize things by go-
ing hungry for five years, Of course
our people wouldn't go that far, but
we know some of them who go
hungry for six days so they can buy
enough gas to take the whole fam-
ily out riding on Sunday.
—Our former President, Calvin
Coolidge, thinks that business in this
country is “fundamentally soun >
We are not a former President, we
have never stopped (?) a Boston

hollered down a rain bar’l.
— The Bellefonte High school foot-
ball team hasn't won a game this
season or scored a point against an
opponent. Not so good, you say.
It’s probably a record, all the same.
And the boys deserve far more
credit than they will receive, for
they have been in there doing their
best from whistle to whistle in every
game. In their case they had the
will to win, but ‘just didn’t have the
brawn.
__We can’t see that Mayor Mackey,
of Philadelphia, has anything on
our local statesman who is doubt-
less casting wistful eyes on the At.
torney-Generalship. So far as point-
with pride to what their re-
spective home towns did at thelast
election we should think Harry and
Arthur could meet on the banks of
the Schuylkill or Spring ¢reek, shake
hands and agree that there is no
competition among gentlemen.
__Raskob and Smith, and Davis,
and Cox and all the rest who sign-
ed that “Round-Robin” of good-will

can Congress might have been a
bit precipitate, but the Watchman is
not climbing onto Carter Glass’ re-
sentment band-wagon. There's a
mighty large African concealed in the
Virginia Senator's wood pile, so
large that a blind man could see it.
The condition of the country isn’t
worrying him. Raskob and Smith
have given him the prickly-heat and
he is hunting a remedy for it.
—Being a real sportsmen Bill
Zimmerman thinks that the Gover-
nor was all “wet” when he promul-
gated that edict against smoking
in the woods. We are with Bill on
that. Real sportsmen are the best
friends the woods and wild life has.
In fact if it hadn't been for them
there would have been no forestry
conservation movements and no
game protective associations any-
where. The trouble is, however, the
woods are just like liquor. And the
sportsmen are just like the tem-
perance folks were when they
thought it would be easier to in-
voke the law than continue to teach
coming generations the difference
between use and abuse.

Senator Glass Enters a Protest.
Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia,
is everlastingly right in his protest
against pledging Democratic Senators
and Representatives in the present
and the next Congress to support
any legislation, even though its pur-
pose be to restore prosperity, that
the administration may suggest. The
Democratic victory of November 4
was an indictment by the American
people of the Hoover administration
and the Republican party for in-
compentency and inefficiency. The
Democrats in Congress are under no
obligation, legal or moral, to con-
done the faults in administratin
which have thus been condemned.
This is especially true with respect
to the Grundy tariff.
The industrial conditions which
aroused popular resentment and re-
sulted in the recent Democratic vic-
tory have been in existence for more
than a year. But so long as Re-
publican control of the government
seemed secure the President was in-
different. All the leading econ-
omists of the country admonished
him in ample time that the Grundy
tariff would cause industrial and
commercial paralysis, but President
Hoover paid no attention to the
warning. When his administration
and his party were rebuked in every
section of the country from Maine
to California, he began to take
notice. After an eleventh-hour con-
version he came to realize that
something must be done, not for the
country, but for the party.
After the Republican victory of
1920 there was no expression of
magnanimity on the part of the Re-
publican leaders. On the contrary
a conspiracy was organized to force
an extra session of Congress in
order that power might be seized
at the earliest moment. Hundreds
of charges were preferred and in-
vestigations ordered to prevent the
recuperation of the defeated party.
In view of these facts we can see
no reason why Democrats in Con.
gress should now volunteer . service
to help the administration to re-
cover it's lost ground. The Dem-
has been, ready to serve the best
interests of the country. But it 1s,
not an asylum for treating and
curing lame political ducks.
—Talking about hunting. Sports-
men tell us that the scarcity of
birds and squirrel is due to the
scarcity of nuts. Probably they know,
put the pheasants and squirrel
should be told to move in from the
woods.

Ward Politics in Washington.
On the eve of the Congressional
campaign, last fall, a rumor emana.
ting from the Treasury Department
at Washington and at the time at-
tributed to Secretary Mellon, indi-
cating a probable treasury deficit at
the end of the fiscal year appeared
in the press dispatches. A day or
two later it was denied from the
White House, the President having
meantime sent for and held con-
ference with the Secretary. The
other day Senator Reed, of Pennsyl-
vania, in an interview, renewed the
statement and Senator Smoot, chair-
man of the Senate Finance committee,
supplemented it with a statement
that in all probability it will be
necessary to increase the income
tax to the schedule of 1928, to pre.
vent the deficit.
The significance of these facts is
in the proof that not only President
Hoover but Secretary Mellon pros-
tituted their powers in office to de-
ceive the public for political effect.
A certainty or even probability of
an increase of taxes to avert a
revenue deficiency before the elec-
tion would be certain to exercise an
adverse influence on the voters in
the Congressional elections from the
administration angle, Therefore
President Hoover promptly denied
the rumor and likely influenced
credulous voters in various sections
of the country to support Republi-
can candidates for Congress, and in
some measure “saved the face” of
the party.
This sort of political campaigning
might be excused ina ward ‘“heeler,”
but it is unbecoming in the Pres-
ident of the United States. But 1t
seems to be a favorite method of
Herbert Hoover. Ever since the
industrial stagnation set in he has
been issuing bulletins that conceal the
facts and aggravating the evil in-
stead of improving conditions. If he
had told the whole truth in the begin-
ning and adopted corrective meas.
ures the bad effects might have
been mitigated. But he adopted
the devious methods of a group of
party pirates with the result of a
trend in the wrong direction and in
the end an exposure of his incapaci-
ty for the service required from his
office.

Linn Street Residents Don’t Want
| Milk Station. 54
=
Some twelve or fifteen residents
"of east Linn and east Curtin streets
appeared before borough council, on
Monday evening, to protest against.
the establishment of a milk station
at his home, on east Linn, by Ray-
mond Brooks. The delegation sup-
ported a lengthy petition signed by
ninety per cent of the residents of
that locality in which it- was claim-
ed that a milk station there would
be a detriment to the entire com-_
munity and would result in a de-
preciation of all the residential
properties. The petition also claim-
ed that the noise of unioading and
loading milk cans would disturb the
peace and quiet of the neighbor-
hood.
Mr, Brooks, it appears, has con-
verted what was formerly a garage ,
into a milk station and, although.
he had been notified by the chief
fire marshal and one or two mem-
bers of council that he would have
to secure a permit to erect a milk
station, he failed to do so. A. C.
Hewitt was spokesman for the dele-
gation of protesting citizens and he
appealed to council to forbid the
operation of the plant. |
Mr. Brooks was present and in’
defense of his actions stated that
he was ignorant of the fact that
he would have to secure a permit
until he had his new work more
than half completed, machinery or-
dered, etc. He also stated that the
plant was to be only temporary; |
that he has secured a location on,
north Water street and will erect
-an up-to-date plant there in the
‘spring, and he only wants to use
his Linn street plant until that
‘time. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the Fire and Police com-
mittee to do what they can to
| straighten out the trouble.
A brief communication was re-
ceived from the Bellefonte s&Hool
board stating that they are angious
situation and if council will grat
them the right to close Lamb stre
work on construction of the pro-
posed new athletic grounds. No ac-
tion was taken,
The Street committee reported
minor repairs and a general cleanup
of streets. Also that in the work
of digging a cess pool on east How-
ard street they are down sixteen

| cet and have blasted through twelve
| feet of solid rock without finding a
| fissure. They were instructed to
continue the work. The commit-:
tee also reported that Lester Musser |
had given a check for $30 for a
sewer tap, but to reach his new
house, on east Lamb street, it will
be necessary to lay 165 feet of 6-
inch soil pipe. The matter was re-
ferred back to the committee to see
if other residents in that locality
will be wiling to join in and thus
help out with the expense of put-
ting down the sewer.
The water committee reported
continued progress on the new wa-
ter line and the collection of $1400
on water taxes. :
The Finance committee reported
a balance in the borough fund of
$3139.64 and water fund $2464.34.
| Also that the Bellefonte Trust com-
pany had credited the water de.
partment with $3857.00 from the
sale of bonds and that there are
still $2500 worth of bonds to be sold.
Borough notes amounting to $20,000
have been paid off with money re-
received from the tax collector and re-
newal of $2800 in borough notes and
$4000 of water notes were author-
ized.
The Fire and Police committee
reported that C. G, Decker has ap-
plied for a permit to erect a dwell-
ing on east Linn street but had not
yet submitted his plans. The mat-
ter was referred to the committee
with power.
Burgess Harris was present and
suggested to council the advisability
of giving employment to men out of
work in cleaning out Spring creek,
cleaning up ash dumps and the sev-
eral approaches to town. The var-
ious committees were instructed to
give the suggestion due considera-
tion.
Mr. Cobb called the attention of
council to the fact that the Water
committee had sold the old water
wheels at the Gamble mill for junk
at $11.50 per ton, and had sold two
belts in the mill for $75.00, and he
had been told that. the committee
has been criticised for so doing.
And what he desired was council to
sustain the actions of the committee,
or if they had acted without authority
then he would have the belts re-
turned and money refunded. The
matter was referred back to the
committee to find out if the criti-
cism came from the Bellefonte
Realty company.
Mr. Cobb also wanted to know
when Bellefonte would benefit by an
Annual Meeting of Agricultural
Extension Association. :
The annual meeting of the Agri-
cultural Extension Association of
Centre county will be held in the
court house tomorrow (Saturday)
with sessions both in the morning

She lived in luxury and idleness
there for ten years, then gave up
the ghost,
The farmer in charge happens
to be Mr. L. C. Rerick and as
a little bit of memorial to “Sal”
he has sent us the following:
Old ‘‘Sal” is dead, that good old mare,
We ne'er shall see her more.
With limb so sleek and smooth of hair
She was a splendid goer.
She walked and paced oe'r hill and vale,
To gather dollars for E. W. Hale,
He pitied her too much, he said,
To have her shot with gold or lead.
So now, no more, she speeds away
To earn her fodder, oats and hay
But lies buried in Nittany Vale,
To be remembered by Dr. Hale.
