Mr. Pinchot’s New Cabinet.
The Governor-elect has removed
the veil of secrecy concerning his
cabinet in part, at least. In anan-
nouncement, issued the other day,
he names Clyde L. King, of Chester
county, for Secretary of Revenue,
of Philadel-
phi, as Attorney General; George
W. Woodruff as a special counsel to
hold utility corporations in line, and
P. Stephen Stahlnecker, as secretary
to the Governor. These are all
old associates of the Governor-elect.

little something” within us that is|during his first term, Mr. King was
eternally trying to
tongue, to think with our mind, to |
work with our hands. Some under-
stand what it is; others don’t and
some deny its presence. It is there,
however, in every human, whether
he be Jew or Gentile, heathen or
agnostic. It is the God in man that
inspires every noble thing he does
and creates the conscience that
lashes him for every ignoble act.
That was God's greatest gift to
man. - Without it there might have
been science, but there couldn’t have
been art or love and life would have
been as cold as the poles.
Strangely, it was the gift that
started man to seeking for some
explanation as to when, why, how
he had been made. It was the
gift that started Melchior, Caspar
and Balthasar following the star
that flooded the Judean hills with
light on the Christmas eve twenty
centuries ago and led them to the
cradle of God's second great gift to
man.
Before the "event we celebrate
next Thursday, all was veiled in
mystery. Then came Christ, the
veil was torn asunder and the cause
of the soul in man was revealed and
the proof of all that had been won-
derment before was presented.
Marvel and argue as we will about
Christmas, the very word is radiant
with holiness. No matter how low
and mean we might have been at
other times during the year then we
are at our best. It is the miracle

Laugh clown, laugh at our preach-
mefit. But listen to this: No mat-
ter who you are: how vile, how
scoffing, how humble, how rich, next
Thursday you will do something—just
a little something—that you rarely
do at any other season. It might
he only a pleasant word. It might
be a smile that flicks a sullen face.
Youll do it and it will be God's
hand that makes you do it.
You might not admit it. If you
don’t, hunt for another explanation as
to why you do things on Christmas
day that you rarely do at other
times.
Christmas is the season of giving.
Why? What could have suggested
such reaction to it other than the
gold, and frankincense and myrrh
that were carried to the manger in
the Little Town of Bethlehem many,
many years ago. And what were
they carried there for? The soul,
God's first gift to man, filled the
world with hope and it went in
thanksgiving and praise for the
gift of His Son.

of the Christmas spirit is really the
exemplification of experimental relig-

Mr, Schnader assistant Attorney
General. It is said that Ellen G.
Potter was invited to assume her
old place as Secretary of Welfare, |
but because her public berth in New
Jersey is very congenial and carries
a higher salary than the one offered
her by Governor-elect Pinchot, she
has declined.
These selections indicate a renew-
al or continuance of the policies of
Mr. Pinchot’s previous administra-
tion on all controversial subjects
with the variation that restraining
utility corporations will have first
consideration in the future instead
of prohibition enforcement as in the
past. The office to which Mr.
Woodruff will be named is new and
without constitutional sanction. But
it is within the law and no doubt
will provide for the incumbent a lib-
trouble
eral salary and plenty of
for such utility corporations as the
Scranton Spring Water company
and the Clarion Power corporation.
M. Woodruff is a capable lawyer |
and keen investigator and he will
be a busy man if he fulfills Pinchot’s
promises.
The only surprise in the recent an-
nouncement lies in the fact that Mr.
Stahlnecker will be assigned to a
subordinate position. That he is a
capable secretary is beyond question
and his fidelity to the person and
political estate of the Governor-
elect is equally certain. But nobody
imagined him in any office of less
importance in the new administra-
tion than that of Secretary of the
Commonwealth, traditionly the prem-
fer post in |
the “guide, philosopher and friend”
of the Pinchot family for many
years, But if “Steve” is satisfied
no one else has just right to com-
plain. In any event it may be set
down as certain that he will be de-
voted to his chief and efficient.

Senators Resent Hoover’s Aspersions
Senator Blaine, Republican of Wis-
consin, has obtained a correct meas-
ure of President Hoover. In a de-
bate in the Senate, the other day,
Mr. Blaine declared that Hoover isa
«mediocre politician” who has been
overpraised. His record in the White
House clearly proves this. He has
been a weak and wavering in-
strument in the hands of such polit-
ical sharks as Jim Watson, of In-
diana, and others of that inferior
type and they have made a donkey
of him, probably with malicious in-
tent to get him out of their way.
Senator Blaine added that “his en-
gineering ability has been limited
to a gas engineer.”
With this meager equipment for
leadership President Hoover under-
took to “crash the gate” of the
Senate the other day. In a state-
ment made to the press correspond-
ents he accused Senators of ‘“raid-
ing the treasury” and ‘playing poli--
tics at the expense of human
misery.” Yet he has done nothing
but play politics since he began his
public career ten years ago. He
worked himself into the White
House and since his inauguration
has been playing for a re-election,
Near the close of the last regular
session he bluffed the Senate and
got away with it. But it looks as
if he has overplayed his hand this
time.
As Senator McKellar has shown
the charge of raiding the treasury
comes with poor grace from him.
He began raiding the treasury even
before his installation and has been
practicing it ever since. But he
wants entire control of the loot ob-
tained by the raids. By manipula-
tion of the flood relief fund in 1927
he was able to obtain for his own
benefit the electoral votes of Tennes-
gee and Kentucky in 1928, Now he
demands absolute control of all: re-
lief funds for the present emergency
for use in the campaign for re-
election in 1932. Naturally and
properly the Senate resents his as-
persions.

"STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
President Hoover and the Senate.
A break of some kind between the
President and the leaders of his
party in the Senate was inevitable,
For months their lines of action
have been diverging. The Senators
have been patient, even indulgent
from the beginning. Hoover's in-
experience in public affairs, his pre-
dilection to pass the buck and his
evasion of responsibility have creat.
ed sympathy rather than censure of
practical and experienced men. So
long as he referred all important
matters to commissions and finally
yielded completely, as he did in
signing a tariff bill he detested, the
party leaders in the Senate, though
disappointed, were no t publicly
critical.
They have had plenty of cause of
complaint.
tions for office were unwise and sub-
versive of party harmony, and
though some of them were rejected
there was no expressions of resent-
ment. But a few months ago some
influence persuaded Mr. Hoover that
he is the real master of the coun-
try and that if he would assert his
authority with sufficient emphasis to
impress the people that he is a
man of force, the Senators and
everybody else would yield. He
adopted this idea in the matter of
the flexible provision of the Grundy
tariff law and got away with it.
But he seems to have misconstrued
the popular reaction to that achieve-
ment.
| The big stick was a potent force
in the hands of Roosevelt. He had
| the popularity and the audacity to
‘use it with effect. But it will be

big stick with “soft speech.” In

: strong arms is essential in the em-
| ployment of that form of persuasion,
| Hogve: appears to be lacking in
| one or the other of these essentials
and in his attempt to swing the

the quarrel will be remains to be

As he did not have the money to pay

for a period of 132 days.
Austin Furst, son of Mr. and Mrs.
who was sixteen
years old in November, shot his
first deer, a 4-point buck, on Sat-
urday afternoon. He and his young-
er brother, “Woodie,” little Bob Cur-
tin and Hayes Darby, piloted
by John Curtin Sr, had gone
down to the old Masonic camp,
this side of Curtin, to see if there
were any wild ducks on the dam.
The buck came down off of Bald
Eagle mountain and was first seen
by Bob Curtin who called to
his father that ‘there is a deer,
and it’s got horns.” The elder Cur-
tin was not able to get a good sight
of it and while he was shifting
around to do so Austin got an open
view of the deer and shot. One
' shot brought it to the ground. The
party lost no time in bringing the
deer to Bellefonte.

Weigh Feed to Make Proper Dairy
Profits.
Centre County dairymen can save
many dollars this winter if they will
weigh the feed given to their dairy
cows, says county agent, R.C.
Blaney.
Many Cows are overfed, which
| makes the cost of producing 100
pounds «f milk too high and there-
by cuts down profits. On the other
hand, many COWS are underfed so
that they are not permitted to pro-
duce to full capacity.
“Weighing the feed, without a
doubt, will mean more in dollars and
cents to the dairymen than ever be-
fore.” Blaney declares.
He gives the usual suggestion:
Feed one pound of grain for each
three pounds of milk produced by
Guernseys and Jerseys and one pound
of grain for each 33 or 4 pounds of
milk produced by the other breeds
of cattle. This method of feeding
is flexible, so that cows having a poor
quality of roughage can be fed
slightly more grain.

Let me count the houses o’er—
Yes: one, two, three from the corner,
And the house which I loved makes
four.
This is the very window
Where I used to see her head,
Bent over a book or needle,
With ivy garlanded.
And the very loop of the curtain,
And the very curve of the vine,
Were full of a charm and a meaning
Which woke at her touch and sign.
I began to be glad at the corner,
And all the way to the door
My heart outran my footsteps
And frolicked and danced before—
In haste for the words of welcome,
The voice, the repose and grace,
And the smile, like a benediction,
Of that beautiful, vanished face.
Now I pass the door and I pause not,
And I look the other way;
But ever like wafted fragrance—
Too subtle to name or to say.
Comes a thought of the gracious presence
Which made the past day sweet,
And still to those who remember
Embalms the house and the street.
Like the breath from some
empty
Of a flow’ry shape unseen,
Which follows the path of its lover
To tell where a rose has been.

Altoona is Aglow with Christinas
Lights.
For the past several years the
Altoona Booster Association has
sponsored outdoor Christmas lighting
contests and as a result of their
efforts many beautiful lighting ef-
fects have been created in the busi-
ness district, as well as in the
residential sections of that city.
This year the Association, in co-
operation with the Penn Central
Light and Power Company, has
created a more beautiful display of
Christmas lighting than has yet been
featured in Altoona and it is doubt.
ful if any city is more beautifully
lighted for the Christmas season.
Each side of the streets in the
business district “is festooned with
strings of colored lights running
parallel with the trolley wires which,
together with festoons on the cross

there is a large community Christ
