Beaver, of our town, was a candidate for Governor the frst time, the present and helped to defeat Beaver. He even ran on an independent democratic ticket | Later | for legislature and was beaten. he joined Cousin Quay's camp and now be is *‘in it.” As Jong as the republican congress does not repeal the high protective tariff on goods cootrolled by the trusts, so long will the trusts cootinue to pile up millions by tariff robbery of the people, The tanff is the mother of trusts, Roose- velt's talk of opposition to the trusts by way of the courts is ouly a dodge. The courts will fool with it for years. In a week's time a repeal of the tariff wn trust protected articles can be reached and the evil halted. Yet Roosevelt never once advised this. The trusts are fatten. ing upon tariff protection and that alone. IN another part of this issue will be found an important article, a recent speech by W. Bourke Cochrane, one of our ablest public men. When Mr. Coch- rane speaks a whole nation listens, for his utterances are heralded far and wide. In this speech he defines in his own original forceful way what Democracy means. If you are a democrat read it carefully, if you are a republican the perusal of this speech may bring to vour attention serious questions that heretofore | If | have not engaged your attention, you are not a polidcian, but a thoughtful and intelligent man give it your serious attention, WuaAT fools we Americans be!

As a people we think we are capable of self-government but we get some mighty poor results from it in certain Tues, If a government is instituted by the con. sent of the governed and with equal rights among men, read in another part of the paper what Chairman Griggs says the American people are doing for the benefit of the favored few and the foreigners. By means of the high tariff they enable the favored manufacturers to combine and form trusts by which the American people must pay about 40 per cent more for merchandise than it is sold for to foreigners. Think of it; what fools we Americans be! W. E. Grav, Eetq., was the dark horse referred to some time ago by us as likely to enter the race for Congress before the local republican primaries. He is home and must soon make a decision. The nomina’ion is not at all probable to come to Centre county as there are several wealthy and exceedingly ambi. tious republicans at the other end of the district anxiously looking after it. For that reason the fellow who goes to the conference with Centre connty delegates may draw big stakes, if he is diplomatic. That is why some interest is being shown among local republican politicians. Predictions are made that Dr. Locke will win because the gang is with him, understand him.
