Regular service at Tusseyville in the afternoon. morning ; evening; Foolish Partisanship, ‘t'he most foolish exhibition of parti- sanship witnessed in this country for many a day is that participated in by the Republicans of the House and Benate when they voted solidly against the extension of the emergency war taxes for one year. It is no excuse for this narrowness to say that the measure was partisap and that if the Republicans had been in power they would have handled it differently. The measure was not partisan. If the Republicans had been in control they would have been com- pelled to take similar action, In fact, the emergency war taxes are the same in principle as those levied by Re- publicans during the Civil and the Spanish-American Ware, The pretense that bigh or low tar- iffe, tariffs for plunder or tariffs for revenue, had anything to do with this question or the situation that produced it was equally false, The emergency taxes were made necessary by the war in Europe, which has dislocated com- merce and industry to an extent never before known. Beveral weeks before the war with Bpain began, every Democrat in the House of Representatives voted with the Republican mejority in favor of a $50,000,000 appropriation for national defense. The money now derived from the emergency taxes is just as necessary to national honor and security as the great fund that wae placed unreservedly in the hands of President McKinley in 1808, The first step toward national defense is to keep a solvent Treasury. LOOALS The borough schools will close on Friday and reopen on Monday, Janu- ary 8. Prof. J. T. Marshman of State Col- lege will preach in the Presbyterian church on Bunday morning.

D. Brisbio, who has been on the sick list for some time past, is slow! y improving. Mr. Brisbin during most his years has been a man of out-door life and finds it extremely bard to be compelled to remain indoors for the greater part of the time. The Old Fort Lodge, F. & A. M., recently made a very liberal cash of- fering to the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Bellefonte hospital, of this place, which was used in purchasing neces- sary material for the room maintained by the local society. The ladies are very grateful for the aid given them. The local merchants sre the most busy cisss of people these daye, While many people heeded the ad- monition to “Do Your Christmas Bhopping Early,” there are, as usual, A great number of eleventh hour shop- pers who help to make the merchants’ and clerks’ burdens extremely heavy by their procrastinating on the Chriet- mas-gift buying. gs ol a 8 DEATHS, en sm—— Again has the fioal summons come to a brave veteran of the War of the Rebellion, this time calling Thaddeus Btover to appear before the Great Commander.

For fifteen years he has been singing for the Columbia Graphaphone Co. and his records are in tremendous demand. His home is in Binghamton, N. Y. WEAVER PIANOS MAKE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS Nine-tenths of all Christmas presents wear out quickly, de- preciating rapidly with use. The Weaver Piano, on the con- trary, has an intrinsic value little affected by length of use. Moreover, it is an instrument from which you draw daily divi- dends of useful service and delight of ownership. The Weaver Piano is nearly as valuable intrinsically, and much more so sentimentally, after twenty years use, as the day you buy it.
