y v VOL. LXXXV. RE “rg Nl FOR DEMOURATIO SUCOKESS, Voters Must be Organized-—The Vast Army of Republicans in Pennsylvania Does Not Guarantee Sacoess In a Battle. If the Democrats of Pennsylvania reach the goal of their ambition, or come near it, next November, it will be the result of hard and consistent work, The largest army is not always the victor in a battle, Triumph at- tends those who properly align their forces and who take advantage of the weak places in the opposition lines. There ia a big army of Democrats in Pennsylvania, and this army needs organization, not from the top down, but fcom the bottom up. This army must be seasoned and drilled. Theraw recruits must be taught the rudiments, aud every individual must know his place and be prepared to do his full duty. The officers in command may be ever so well skilled, but they need a compsct army behind them. It is evident, therefore, that the place to begin organization is among the individual voters, They must be asflorded an opportunity to rally to- gether, and not left by themselves to act individually, regardless of the consequences, The leaders are con- vincad that a bailey team could pot draw the party out of its swamp of misfortune, and today the ‘‘general stall” of the army is proceeding har- moniously and intelligently, The next ete p must be to reach Lhe voters in the rauks and prepare them for the forced march on the polls that must be taken if victory is to be won. There is a disposition in every coun- ty to make (he campaign aggressive, the result of which is to stimulate the enthusiasm of individual Democrats who in the past have been indifferent as to whether they voted or not. The hope of success this year lies in getting every Democratic vote into the ballot box, and thesurest method of bring- ing that about is to enlist the interest of the voters themselves. When they find they are no longer neglected they will be up and doing. A —————— Borough Loanecll Meeling, The Centre Hall borough council held a regular meeting on Friday eve- niog. The members present were Messrs. Daup, Bradford, Feidler, Martz and Lucas, the abseutees being Meyer and Bmith. The routine business of hearing re- ports of the various commitless was gone through without anythiog of note coming before tue body, New busivess brought before the council was a request by citizens for privilege to erect a street crossing from Tibbetts’ furniture store below Kreamer's general store to Rossman’s private residence above the Rossman store buildiog now occupied by the postoffice. The crossing will be con. structed of brick aud wholly at the cost of the petitioners, who are pri- vate citizens, Another bit of new business was to grant a buildiog permi: to the Re. porter.

Forty- four volumes were issued in Centre Hall, and forty-one in Aasaronsburg, the former editor claiming to have in herited the right tocontinue the series, regardless of the fact that the plant was removed to Centre Hall, and the paper changed from beiug printed in the German to the English language, The present editor makes no claim to having done great things during the time he conducted the Centre He- porter, but while there was no oppor- tunity to do the great thioge, there was no hesitancy in doing the lesser, The first purpose of the writer has been to give the news of the commun- ity. Because there were no happen- ings such as would stir half the world, the little things were not neglectad, I'be Reporter has always aimed to note all occurrences in the community that were worthy of mention. It has always preferred to praise rather than condemn ; it has endeavored to keep the writer's personal feelings in check, and it can said that this was done to a greater extent than exhibited by most newspapers wheth- er great or small, Bioce its very beginniug the Report. er has advocated Democratic prinei ples, and with possibly a few excep tions, in its earlier history, its support was given to all Democratic dates in the many campaigns through which it passed. The ardent support given Democratic measures and men is not regretted. In these days when with many party tics count for little, we are not flirting with the Socialist, the Bull Moose or the Big Elephant, be i= candi- Th fe NEW BUSINESS BLOoRy v \ In Centre Hall to bs Erected Within the Coming Year—1U, ID. Bartholomew and the Heporter Will Qountribute to Im. provements, In apother column in this Issue mention is made of the fact that the Centre Reporter will erect a business block in Centre Hall. In addition to this the writer is permitted to an- nounce that Charles D. Bartholomew will erect a business block adjoining that of the Reporter, The Bartholo- mew block will have a frontage of sixty-two feel, by sixty feet in depth, The structure will be of brick, and at least two if not three stories in height, A part of the first and second floors will be occupied by Mr. Bartholomew as a private residence, and the re. mainder of the structure will be ar. ranged to accommodate any business, offices, etc, that may demand space in the future, With this portion of Centre Hall built up new from the foundation, all sections of the town will be without blemish, the sites to be covered being the only ones now not presenting a view in keeping with the general good appearances in all other parts. The building of this block must of necessity be postpooed until next spring, because of the fact that one of the buildings now on the site is under lease until that time. El 4 Milroy “ Professionals * Beat Locals, The Centre Hall base ball club wandered out of ils latitude Batur- day when they crossed the Seven Mouuntsivs and tackled the strong Mil roy team, The 8 to 0 score proved that bigger game is found in the vicin- ity of the Seven Mountains than slong old Nittany, and uatil Centre Hall can stlord to collect an aggrega- tion of paid ball tossers, they must be content to play strictly amateur ball, We believe the Democratic party just as effective as ever ; we believe in its] priociples just as strongly and we will give in the campaign | now on to Democratic ensures and men loyal support, This paper has always for progress ; it has never been a pull-| back. Oa local issues it has parted ! 88 ever ;| stood company with all who were noo-pro- gressive, The Reporter has always waged the cause of the people ; it al ways stood for good government ; for economy ; for the rights of individ-| ua's ; for good schools ; for good mor als. The advocay of things, strange as it may seem, occasionsily lost the Reporters subxcriber, never a reader, Ia the end every pronounced stand taken by this paper ins worked to its benefit. Honesty of purpose seldom, if ever, falls recognition by = class of men and women whose support ie peeded when success 1s sought, It will be our aim in the future to cone tinue to advocate any cause that will be for the benefit of the community and the mesjority of the peopls, The Ceuire Reporter is happy to announce that it purposes erecting a pew home for tus paper, its editor and family. The Reporter bulldiog will be modern, built of light Roman vrick. There will ba no effort to be extravagant, but nothing will be omits ted to make the structure of a most substantial character. The bulldiog will be sixty-four feet front by thirty- two io depth, with several extensions on the rear, t #0 stories high, with sn attic that will fuish 22x48 feet, The first flor will be occupied by the prints ing plant, privele residence, avd » store roow, the secoud floor to private sleeplog rooms, and rooms to les, Tue location is Letween the eld postoffice bulidiog aud Kreamer’s store building, now occupied by a small dwelling house, Building operations will be commenced as soon as me- chanics can be induced to go to work, Miss Anns Wagoner Keichline, of Bellefonte, a skilled architect; drew the plans snd specifications for the structure, i —— I MM Transier of ten!

GOODHART, Johnstown, Pa., July 30, 1912 The incident referred to by Mr. Goodhart in his letter above is an in- dignation meeting held by the people of Johnstown, at which the action of the city council was vigorously con- demped for having passed an ordi- nance grantiog to the Johnstown and Btoney Creek ralirond company a free and perpetual franchise.

H. Lohr and family is always an occasion of joy to Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Lutz, and on Friday they enter tained the following guests : Mrs. 8. H. Heckman and dsoghter Katharine, During the progress of this meeting | it developed that the Johnstown | Water Company held a free and per- | petual franchise, and that it now | values its property at two million dol. | lars and its right (obtained free by an | ordinance ) at one million dollars. | The Peunsylvania Railroad receives | a yearly rental of $200 from the city of | Johnstown for ground on which a fire | house is erected. This ground was ob- | tained for nothing. { The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad | got free privileges in that city, and | the Bouthern Columbia Railrosd occu. | pies about two miles of street for! which it pays nothing, but it was] obliged to pay the Baltimore and | Ohio road $10,000 to cross eight feet of | its tracks, This cily council has been in the babit of grantiog free and perpetual franchises, but the people have now said it mast be stopped. A particular feature of this sssem- biage of particular interest to the peo- ple of Centre Hall was the appoint. ment of a committee of citizens by the Mayor to atlend every meeting of the council aud ** see that the inter- ests of the taxpayers are taken care of." What the people of Jobunstown ought to do, and what the people of every city snd borough ought to do with councilmen that are either orooked themselves or too ignorant to distin- guish between right and wrong, is to retire them from office at the end of their terms, and in the meantime watch every act they perform. ] Le A A A MURRAY & BITNER SUCCES FU...

Smite the Hata, The rat is the twentieth-century an- achronlsm, He is as much behind the times as stone hatohetls or arrow heads, and yeti today we tolerate him, we per- mit him to devasiate our storehouses and to act as the vehicle for the trans mission of disease belween bis loathe. some body and the body of man. The toleration which we have shown for this inhabitant of the sewer and fre. quenter of the dump is perhaps due to the fact that man is by nature a jasy soimal and will make no unnecessary effort uniess spurred to it by some cir- cumastances io his environment. It has Leen necessary for plague to rav- age the world many times before man has learned that the rat and the mouse are among the most deadly an- imals with which he bss to deal That rate are Lhe carriers of plague is too well known to merit more than a passing reference. They are also sfllicted wilh a leprosy-like disense which closely resembles the leprosy of man. A number of other diseases exist commonly among them, the or ganisms of which are believed to be capable of producing humsn disease.
