poration,
Whether Mr. Bryan is qualified to
be Sacretary of Btate can beat be de-
termined by comparing him with the
men who have held that office during
the last fifty years.
The present Secretary of Btate
Philander C. Knox, who was consti
tutionally disqualified for the office at
the time of his selection and whose
most notable diplomatic achievement
was to turn the State Department in-
to a collection agency for Wall street.
Mr. Knox's predecessor was Robert
Bacon, a partner of J. Plerpont Mor-
gan.
Mr. Baco 's predecessor was Elihu
Root, the ablest man to hold the place
in a generation,
Mr. Root's predecessor was John
Hay, who was a very able Becrelary
of state but who lacked the physical
vitality to oppose successfully the
jingo policies of President McKinley's
BUCCEEBOT,
Mr, Hay’s predecessor was William
R. Day, who was pitehforked into
office for a few months after Jobn
Sherman broke down.
Mr. Day's predecessor
Sherman, wa. was physically
mentally incapable of discharging the
duties of Necretary of State, but was
appointed in order to create a
cancy in the Senate for the benefit of
Mark Hanna.
Mr. Sherman's predecessor
Richard Olney, who will be remember-/
ed chicfly for bis connection with the)
Venezuela episode, and Mr. Oluey’s'
predecessor was Judge Gresham, from
whom much was expected and little

rison’s Cabinet to head the couspiracy

tion. And so the story runs. Biaiue,
Bayard, Frelinghuysen, Blaine agsin,
Evarts, Fish, Wasuburn and Seward—
Mr. Bryan need not feel much ewmbar-
rassed in such company, nor would
any of that company feel embarrassed
to know that Mr. Bryan was oumber-
ed amoung bis successors,
Great Hecretaries of State have besn
few, and occasions that called for =
great secretary of Stale have happily
been even fewer, Mr. Bryan would
pever be a salislactory Secretary of
State for the champions of Dollar
Diplomacy, or for millionaires who re
gard the Diplomatic Corps us an sn-
nex to the Four Hundred. But his at-
titude toward foreign questions is the
aititude of a vast wm-jority of Lhe
American people, and we observe that
the opposition to his appointment
comes chiefly from people wao waul
the State Department to remain a sub-
gidiary Wall street corporation,

THE BELLEFONTE HOSPITAL,
False Charges Made by Enemies of the In-
stitution Corrected,
No institution in the county is as
much misrepresented as the Bellefonte
Hospital. Why it is no one seems to
know. Why similar hospitals io
other counties are so falsely represent.
ed no one seems to know. The writer
has heard it stated that the charges
were extortionate, that the good food
was all eaten by the nurses and that
brought to the patients unfit to eat ;
that the surgeons were a set of experi-
menters, and had no regards for the
patients, and a hundred equally silly
assertions. Many of these tales were
ridiculous that one could
afford to notica them, but the Reporter
is glad for the opportunify to reprint
from the Watchman a statement of
facts concerning the money charges at
the institution, as follows ;
People not understanding
charges the Bellefonte hoapital
would find it 8 very easy matter to

certain definitely. As a matter of fact
there are no charges of any sort au-

he or she prefers to pay the nominal

patient, however, only the physicians
and surgeons on duty at the time can
attend them. No general or
patient can have any other physician
or surgeon attend him than the mem.
ber of the stafl on duty.
We surmise that many people get
mixed right here. When a patient
enters a private room it is done usaslly
on the advice of his physician. All he
pays to the hospital is, as stated be-
fore, the small charge for the use of
the operating room and the charge for
the private room thal has been ocoupl-
ed, whether it be an $8, $10 or $15 one,
for the length of time that the patient
uss rematoed in it. The Bellefonte
hospital never charged for anything
else and auy one who says it has is
g'ving publicity to an untruth, The
physician in charge of the patient,
who enters a private room however,
may charge that patient whatever he
pleases, but that is his and the pa-
tient’s business and the hospital bas
nothing waatever to do with it, We
are loath to think that any physician

Every human being has many rea-

the ordinary blessings—such as many

special blessings. It would be im-
possible to enumerate all the special
blessings bestowed during the past

Capt. George M. Boal can give
thanks because President Taft put the
Centre Hall postoflice with thousands
of others on the civil service list,
which means that as long as he is
good he will retain the position he
now holds, regardless of the political

The traveler through Centre Hall

The community can thankful
that tonight ( Thanksgiving Day) an

Centre Hall, The community can be
thankful, too, that the lecture course
is made up of numbers that will be an
