IT WAS A WAKE, NOT A CONVENTION.
The Republican National Convention in Chicago last week was
a rather forlorn gathering. In truth it was more like a wake than
the kind of a get-together of leaders in which a militant party
launches a hopeful campaign.
It was not at all like the enthusiastic gathering, four years ago,
when Mr. Hoover was first put in nomination. Then everything
was rosy. A great (7) man was to lead the party's battle, business
conditions were normal, or nearly so, and all that was needed to in-
sure victory was the promise of four more years of prosperity.
The prospect was different last week. The G. O. P. faced No-
vember with fear and misgiving. It realized that national faith in its
ability to keep the dinner pail always full has been shattered and
that the leader it was destined to choose was not nearly so much a
wizard as he had been touted to be four years ago.
As a matter of fact Mr. Hoover was never anything more than
an engineer. Before he left the Democratic party, in order that his
ambition to be President might have a better chance of gratification,
his reputation for ability was founded entirely on accomplishment in
the engineering world—a purely technical field. He had never had
experience in statecraft or party leadership. He was not a contribu-
tor to constructive thought in governmental processes and the wob-
bling, impotent administration that has followed his election to the
Presidency proves that outside of his chosen profession he is lost.
He had no control of a Congress of his own party and, because
of that executive failure and lack of vision, was like a child when the
crash came on. With the country in the throes of its greatest panic
for two years there isn’t an act that can be pointed to as evidence
that he tried to avert it or gave a constructive suggestion for its relief.
Every one of the panaceas he has offered has proven as spurious
as the concoctions of a snake doctor.
If there were nothing else to reveal the weakness and vacilla-
tion of the Hoover character in handling great problems of govern-
ment his attitude on the Prohibition plank of his party should be
sufficient proof of it. Refore the antagonists of the Eighteenth
Amendment became cohe:.vely organized the President was for the
Volstead Act, without equivocation. Then it was “a noble experi-
ment.” When a noticeable change in public sentiment became
apparent he shut up like a clam. And when he discovered he would
have little chance, if any, of being re-elected unless he agreed to
stand on a weasel-worded platform he revealed a back bone as wilt-
ed as that of a used bath towel.
Republicans at Chicago knew these facts. They knew, also,
that none of the other many presidential possibilities their party
numbers would come to rescue the wreck that Hoover has made of
it, so they went grimly and gloomily through the process of put-
ting him into the bed of his own making; there to sleep into political
oblivion,
MR. GARNER ENTERS THE FIELD.
On the eve of the Democratic National Convention Speake:
Garner has tossed his hat into the presidential contest ring. While
Mr. Garner has the delegates of only two States, Texas and Califor-
‘nia, committed to him the announcement that he is a serious con-
tender for the nomination might complicate deliberations at Chicago
more than his delegate strength would indicate.
His blunt declaration in favor of the outright repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment will be reflected in the attitude of his dele-
gates toward the plank in the party piatform concerning solution
of that problem and it is possible that in the turmoil that is likely
to arise between the outright repealists and those advocating the
rights of the States to have sole control of the liquor traffic that the
ninety delegates representing Texas and California may be drawn
into conflicts that may have a tendency to drive them away from
Roosevelt after Mr. Garner gives up.
In any event, Mr. Garner is something more now than “a fav-
orite son” candidate. His delegates will not filter away from him af-
ter a few complimentary ballots. They will stick until he gives the
word and since they are necessary to possible abrogation of the two-
thirds rule the importance of his candidacy is all the more appa-
rent.
Just what the Texan may have in mind is probably his own
secret, but whatever it may be it is likely to have considerable effect
on the outcome of the convention.
——The Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic women are
sending to all Pennsylvania delegates to the party’s national conven-
tion a copy of the resolution they passed at their April meeing in|
Scranton. It declared for “a courageous and outright declaration
against national prohibition and return to the Jeffersonian doctrine
of States’ Rights.” It looks as if the ladies will have their wishes
gratified. The Chicago convention will undoubtedly adopt a plank:
advocating just such a governmental procedure and since it is go-
ing to be ratified by the entire country in November we have a
sneakin’ notion that President Hoover, being so anxious to be re-
elected, would be glad to come back into the fold and run on such
a platform if he were invited. There will be no invitation, how-
ever,
—— The National Rifle Association is of the opinion that ban-
ditry is losing in its fight against law and order because the country
is so full of “untrained citizens who have the fortitude to stand up
and shoot it out with a desperado.” The Association cites statistics
in Chicago, where forty-one have been exterminated by others than |
officers of the law during the past eighteen months, as proof of its
conviction. Extermination of banditry is very much to be desired,
but the “untrained citizen who stands up and shoots it out with
a desperado” has more fortitude than good sense.

to hit “The Primrose Path.”
—The Mill Hall woolen milis,
which were built in 1830, were burn-

Zion is going up rapidly, though the
work has been slowed up somewhat
by the sudden disappearance of the

'A HODGE-PODGE OF
| NEWSY INCIDENTS
| The G, O. P. did the expected at
| Chicago last week. The convention
was so thoroughly saturated with
Hooverism that his nomination with
no concerted opposition was a fore-
gone conclusion, and Dolly Gann
forced the nomination of brother
Charlie Curtis, notwithstanding the
fact that party leaders do not deem
him a strong tail to the Republican
kite. The convention straddled the
prohibition question which will give
the party barnstormers a chance to
talk temperance in bone dry States
and preach repeal of the 18th
amendment in wet latitudes.
Next week the Democrats will
meet in the same building in Chica-
go that housed the Republicans last
week. The building, we understand,
has been properly fumigated and
aired so there ought not to be any
mollycoddle germs floating around.
The disciples of Jefferson, Cleveland
and Wilson have a golden opportu-
nity staring them in the face if the
delegates sent to Chicago to repre-
sent the party do not make jack-
asses out of themselves before the
shindig is over.
Sunday was “Father's day” but
not a florist in Bellefonte had a spe-
cial sale of flowers in his behalf,
neither did the pastors of any of the
churches have any unusual services
for the dads of Bellefonte. In fact
we don't believe one out of every
twenty children in the town knew
it was Father's day, and yet he is
entitled to his share of the credit for
them being here as well as a whole
lot of other things since they arriv-
ed, But take it from us, ninety-nine
dads in every hundred will fight shy
of celebratin’ over him for anything
he has done for his family or his
country.
And speaking of dads why is it
that big men prefer little women
and a big woman generally ties up
witha runt of a man? On the street,
Saturday night, we saw a woman
who looked six feet tall with a man
who hardly topped five, and the wo-
man had become stoop shouldered in
trying to get her head down low
enough to talk to her husband in a
natural tone of voice. When she
stood up straight every word she
said floated right over the top of
his nead.
The Pennsylvania railroad is still
curtailing expenses. Up until recent-
ly the Pennsylvania-Lehigh express
was well patronized but now travel
by train has been so curtailed that
even it has been cut down to
three cars—a combination baggage
and smoker, a coach and a combina-
tion lunch and chair car. And it is
a rare day when they are crowded.
Evidently the people haven't the
money to travel with.
On one morning last week we
counted cars from five different
States parked in front of the Penn
Belle hotel and one thing particularly
noticeable was that there were three
' cars with Ohio licenses, Commenting
on this fact to another Bellefonte
man we were informed that every
Ohio license seen on a car doesn't
mean the owner lives in Ohio. It
| seems that there is a standard fee
of $5.00 for a license on all pleasure
cars in that State and some Pennsyl-
| vanians, it is charged, take advantage
of this fact to have their cars
registered in Ohio and go to that
State on a visit late in the year,
stay long enough to get a license,
then come back into Pennsylvania.
In fact, we are told, there are one
or more such men living in Centre
county.

DEATHS OF THE WEEK
HERE AND ELSEWHERE
WOODCOCK.—In the passing
of Mrs. Anna C. Forbes Wood-
cock, widow of Rev. John A. Wood-
cock, Bellefonte loses another of it's
women who, for half a century, had
been closely identified with the social
and religious life of the town. An
octogenarian, she had been in failing
health for several years and
her death was the result of general
debility.
A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Forbes she was born near
Chambersburg, in Franklin county.
Educted in the public schools of her
home community she engaged in
teaching, an occupation she followed
until her marriage, in 1870, to John
A. Woodcock, then a young minister
in the Central Pennsylvania Confer-
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church. During the ensuing dozen
or fifteen years her home was where
it pleased the presiding Bishop of
the annual conference to send her
husband, but in 1883, Rev. Wood-
cock, at his own request, was placed
on the superannuated list and he
then located permanently in Belle-
fonte, in a house erected for his own
occupancy on east Linn stect. It
was there that Rev. Woodcock died
in 1895 and five years later Mrs.
Woodcock sold the home and went
to Scranton to reside with her
son, Dr. Lee B. Woodcock. She
was there eleven years and during
that time inaugurated the beginner's
department in the Elm Park Metho-
dist church, the largest one of
that denomination in the city, and
which developed into one of the
largest departments in the church.
Returning to Bellefonte in i909 she
inaugurated the beginner's depart-
ment in the church here which has
also proven a success. It was through
her suggestion that the Home Mis-
sionary society of the church under-
took the task of educating one
young woman a year, a work that
has been continued ever since. Dur-
ing the years that have intervened
since 1909 most of her time was
spent in Bellefonte, although she
made periodical and sometimes
lengthy visits to her old home, at
Chambersburg, as well as with her
son, Dr, Woodcock, at Scranton. In
1911 she accompanied her son on a
three months trip to Vienna.
Her survivors include two sons,
Dr. Lee B. Woodcock, of Scranton,
and Rev. Jay R. Woodcock, of Syra-
cuse, N. Y.; two sisters and one
brother, the Misses Mary and Rebeé- |
ca Forbes, and Wilson Forbes, of
Chambersburg.
Private funeral services were held
at her late apartment, in Petrikin
hali, at 10:30 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, conducted by her son Jay
and Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs,
interment being made in the Union
cemetery.

HAINES. —Mrs. Mar Elizabeth
Haines, widow of the late David
Haines, who served as a policeman
in Bellefonte for a number of years,
celebrated her 90th birthday anni-

enjoyed the day. However, at 12:40
o'clock on Wednesday she quietly
passed away, the result of a stroke
of paralysis.
She was a daughter of Jackson
and Elizabeth Barry and was born
at Coalrain Forge on June 19th,
1842, It was after her marriage to
Mr. Haines that they came to Belle-
fonte and this had been her home
ever since. She was a member of the
United Brethren church and one of
the class of old-fashioned women

ago but she is survived by two sons,
Charles and William, and one broth-
er, S. T. Barry, all of McKeesport,
Her grand-daughter, Miss Margaret
