Never in the history of any American Congress has there been such an in- stance of partisanship gone mad as in the act of the Republican majority on the House Ways and Means Committee excluding minority members from the conference at which the soldier bonus bill was drafted. No Democrat on the committee was perinitted to even know what was in the bill until it was report- ed out, when, with the O. K. of the “steering committee”, it was ordered put through the House as a strictly Re- publican measure. Democrats ars citi- zens and taxpayers and will contribute their share of the revenue with which the bonus is paid, but they were not ev- en allowed to be present when the bil] was drafted much less have a voice in its preparation. How different the attitude of the Democrats when they were in the war and consulted and advised with the Re- publican minority about all war meas- ures, Democrats and Republicans alike fought and won the war, and Democrats and Republicans alike have a right to a voice in adjusting compensation for the men who faced the foe and wrought the victory. I————— AA ———— A Quiet Election. The primary election in Centre Hall passed off quietly, both parties polling about fifty per cent of the registered vote. Democrats polled fifty-one votes and the Republicans twenty-nine, for a total of 80, all that were cast. Sixteen Democrats preferred Harvey, Republican, for the general assembly, rather than Naginey, and gave him a complimentary te by writing his name on the ballot. The Republicans stood by Beaver ratl than by Harvey, who fell three votes behind. This was the one office which cohcerned the local politicians most, and many Republicans were approached to see that they made no “mistake” in marking for the ‘right man.” The count for the more important offi- ces were as follows : DEMOCRATIC For President of United States— Mitchell Palmer .

With forty-eight districts in Centre county heard from at noon, Wednesday, when the Reporter went to press, Beav. er was leading Harvey for the nomina- hundred votes. The final returns will likely show very little change from these figures, Theodore Davis Boal and Harry Scott are leading in the race for delegates to the Republican National Convention, HE DEATH RECORD. —— LerrzeLL.—Philip P.

Thousagds of dollars loss in this year's wheat crop can be saved by a little quick action on the part of those who suffered loss from rust in previous years, Right now, in the middle of May, the spores of the black stem rust are moving from the stubble to barberry leaves where they multiply by millions. In a few weeks they will have migrated to the new wheat crop and start their deadly work, Plant disease specialists at State College advise that the removal and desis uction of all barberry bushes in vicinities that have been attacked in previous years by rust, should take place at once to insure this year's crops. Cooperation is necess- ary in all communities for it will heip little for one farmer to spend a day at this work if his neighbor allows a growth of the harmful bush to remain standing, The undesirable species of barberry has a saw-tooth edged leaf. The smooth. edge leaf, or Japanese barberry, 1s harm- less in this respect, : Would it not be a good ;plan for suff- ering communities to declare a *'Bar- berry Destruction Day” during the next week, and save what labor conditions have already made a reduced crop ?
