A WOODROW WILSON FOR PRESIDENT The New York World Favors New Jersey Man and Gives Its Hesson Why, In a recent issue the New York World declared itself as favoring Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic nominee for president. In a two col- umn editorial, in support of its po- sition, amoung other things the World sald : How can the Democratic party do ita duty better than to match sanity against lanancy ; statesmanship against demagogy; the historian against the Rough Rider ; the eduaa- tor of public opinion against the debaucher of public opinion; the first term mgainst the third term ; the tarifl-reformer against the stand. patter ; the man who would prosecute trust magnates against the man who protects trust magnates ; the man with clean hands against the man who draws his campaign fund from Wall street ; the supporter of consti- tutional government against the champion of personal government ; law against lawlessness ; Americanism against Mexicanism ; the Republic against the dictatorship ? Woodrow Wilson has proved his political courage and hls fearlessness, He has proved himself sound on tarift reform. He has proved him. self sound on the Bherman law, He has proved himself sound on corpora. tion control. He has proved himself sound on trust prosecutions and per- sonal guilt. He has proved himself sound agaiost government by Wall street plutocracy. He has proved himself sound on the independence of the judiciary. He has proved him- gelf sound on the fundamental prio. ciples of constitutional government, He has proved that he is instinctively and temperamentally a Democrat. He has proved himself a free man who cannot be bulldozed by busses or influenced against his convictions even by his personal friends, That is the sort of a man who ought to be President, Governor Wilson has had more public experience than Grover Cleve- land had when he was elected Presi- dent. He is better known to the rank aud file of the party than Bamuel J. Tilden was when he was nomioated for President. The World believes that he would be a progressive consti- tutional President whom the Ameri can people could trust and for whom they would never have cause to spolo- giza, ——— A A ——— The farmers are so busy with their belated farmiog tbat many of them may failto note that on Wednesday of last week the Republican stand-pat- ters in the Senate voted down an amendment to Metal Tariff bill plac fog farming implements vn the free list. When a little later on the pro- tective orators are busy in their usual game of pulling the wool over the eyes of Granger auditors they will have nothing to say about tightening the tarifl screws by keeping tbe forty- five per cent. tax on implements for the benefit of the Harvester Trust, whose president is financing the Roosevelt campaign. A—————— A AA —————— The tax collector for the city of Lock Haven has the right idea. In- stead of asking the school board to exonerate, which privilege the school board does not have, the collector of taxes had fifteen warrants issued for the arrest of delinquents, Oune man was sent to jail untll he arranged to meet the amount of bis tax, costs, and the price of his board in jail. This fe the course all tax collectors should take, The school boar. heretofore has exonerated a lot of lazy chumps in Centre Hall that under the new school cide can be made pay up, and they ought to do so, The many ‘‘clean-up” days the neighboring towns have had makes one feel happy to live in Centre Hall where every day ls "clean-up '’ day.

Memorial Day was observed at Cen- tre Hall in the customary way. The hour for the services was six o'clock in the evening. Tbe procession was formed at the United Evangelical church, and was headed by the Cole- ville band. The children followed, and then came the few remaining veterans of the Civil War, their daugh- ters, and the Knights of the Golden Eagles, On reaching the cemetery, aud while the band played suitable music, the children decorated the graves of the departed comrades, From the cemetery the march led to the Methodist church, where the ex- ercises were completed. Former Sheriff Brungart was the chairman, and Prof. P. H. Meyer had charge of the music. A choir sang several selec- tions, and Rev. 8B. A, 'Boyder offered prayer, and the Rev. R. Raymond Jones began his address. The audi- ence listened intently to the speaker whose line of talk was entirely differ- ent from that usually heard from the platform on Memorial Day, but his words were not inappropriate, At the close of the address, the choir again sang, and the chairman thanked those who interested themselves to make the program a success, and then the benediction was pronounced by Dr. W. H. Schuyler, The graves of the two Revolutionary soldiers in Iudian Lane, east of Old Fort, were decorated by the Reporter force. A Revolutionary flag was un- furled, and several elaborate boquets placed at the foot of the marker, Mrs. Lillie Alexander and John Slack made contributions to the flowers that bedecked the graves. At Bprucetown Dr. W. H. Behuyler was the speaker. The attendance was quitelarge, as the interest in memorial services are widespread in that com- munity. Many favorable comments were made on the speaker's address, and the services a8 a whole were im- pressive and truly characteristic of the day. ————— A A —————— LOUALS, The Fairbrook Country Club had ite formal summer opening at its Club house at Penusylvauia Furnace, on Tuesday. Two prisoners took leave of the Lock Haven jail on Baturday evening, They escaped by pickings lok lead- ing from the jail yard to an alley. Robert Hunter, agent for John Eby, of Zion, was over the farm occupied by Bigler Bhafler, near Centre Hall, with Josiah C. Rossman, who is a prospective buyer. The Eby farm Is a very desirable one, The Reporter was all mistaken when it anoounced thst the council would meet last Friday night. The regular time of the body's meeting is the first Friday instead of the last Friday in each month, Belf-esteem is a trait no buman be ing should be entirely without. But we should pray to be delivered from that measure of self esteem which holds that nothing is true save what has received our approval, Edward L. Bartholomew was In town on Memorial day. It was his first day from home since the little daughter was born in the Bartholo- mew home, and he was very anxious to get back+to Altoona to see the baby that is siready putting meanings into the ** goo-goos .”’ R. P. Campbell is endeavoring to improve the large farm he and his brother own in connection with Penns Cave, and thinks the use of lime will aid him greatly in solvieg the problem. He just completed hauling to the farm a car load of coal which will be used in burning the lime, ’ Juniata, a suburb of Altoona, has made a step in the direction of better schools, and by an action of the board of school directors Is now a third in. stead of a fourth class school district, This will permit the borough to elect its own superintendent snd give it many privileges not erjryed by die trio's of a lower class, Mra. Charles Kuhn, of near Boals. burg, met with quite a misfortune one day Inst week she was preparing for a festival, and was in need of a stick of wood to put under a vessel of some kind, and in ao effort to split a small board with an axe, the tool glanced and struck her foot, almost severing the great toe. It required several stitches in the dressing of the wound, In some sections of the county the early planted corn falled to make a stand and replanting was done. The same condition seems to have pre vailed In other counties in the state. Io this section of Peuns Valley the planting was all done after the 20th oi May, and much of it the week follow- ing, and some in June. It is too early to noe whether there was perfect germination of the seed, but usually Iate planting results in obtaining a #90d vet of plants, THE FRANUHISE QUESTION, May Come Before Uouncll In Modified Form-—Action in Advance of Necessity. It 1s admitted now by all that it would have been a mistake to have granted a free and perpetual franchise in Centre Hall to the Centre Hall Elec- tric Light and Power Company, but some of these advocates are mighty sorry they were defeated in putting through the council this viclous piece of legislation, These are berating the Reporter and its editor, and are find- ing satisfaction in doing so. They have no thought of taking care of the property owners in Centre Hall. They were willing to sacrifice every one’s interest for the sole purpose of carying their point; they were bent on giving this foreign corporation everything it asked, and just in the maopner that it was asked, regardless of consequences to future generations. They were thwarted in their purpose by turning their ordinaoce to the light. Wicked and vicious as was this measure, it would have been fastened on the taxpayers of Centre Hall forever, but for the protest of the citizens. It was not the fore- sight of the council, nor the relin- quishment of the féw citizen-advo- cates of the measure that put a quietus on the free, perpetual, and, in action, an exclusive franchise, but it was the uprising of the people, It was the firet time in all the history of this borough that the people were awake to their interests and opposed the coun- cil. They slept through all the blun- ders while building the waler plant, and paid many thousands of dollars ou account of it, but their alertness at this time saved the geuerations to come untold burdens, From the information now at hand, it is the intention of the council to bave formulated a new ordinance on the question of electric light and power. The franchise in this ordi nance is to cover a limited number of years, aud it is to have other desirable restrictions. IL may be such a meas- ure as will be safe to adopt, assuming that this is the proper time to pass an ordinance on the question, and it may be just as wicked in eflect as the ordi- nance presented some time ago. Its merits cannot be discussed until the measure is formulated. Ia the mean- time it might be well to ascertain who constitutes the Centre Hall Electric Light and Power Company. To some it might appear to be of no conse- quence who this company is, but it is of vital imporiasnge when one gonsid- ers that it stlempled to gommit an outrage on the tax paying citizens of this borough. Advocates, and especially the coun cilmen, of the ordinance now stamped ment that the Reporter is opposed to any measure that will give citizans in Centre Hall an opportunity to have electric light, This is false, The Re- porter ia progressive, but it is not in favor of enslaviog forever the taxpay. tng citizens of this town; it {a not willing to fasten on the people for. ever conditions that will become burdensome just to beat an Individual, snd no councilman should use his po- ition and the borough's recourses in the shape of taxers to beat anyone, The councilmen who couldn't see the snake in the former ordinance until it was killed and buog before them, are not apt to see the suake that may appear in the proposed ordinance until it bites them. If it were only the councilmen who would be bitten the lesson might be worth the cost, but the corporation serpent sinks it fangs into every taxable dollar within the Lorough limite, and that Is why a franchise ordinance should be minute. ly examined and every snake in its killed, if it is to become a borough law. Don’t be spiteful, Mr. Councilinan. Favor or oppose measures on their merits, not because you like or dislike some ons who may favor or oppose them. Can Roosevelt Be Defeated ? In bis Commoner Col. Bryan for. osats that Roosevelt will be nominated for president in either a rump or a regular convention, and then says | Can Roosevelt be defeated ? Yes, by sony good progressive, A pro. gressive will hold the Democratic vote, and the Republicans who oppose a third term will do the rest. Mr, Clark and Mr, Wilson are the leading pro- gressive candidates—either one of them can defeat Roosevelt.
