They know how it works. ————— . CARTER H. Harrison, for a fourth time, on Tuesday was elected Mayor of Chicago on the Democratic ticket. Such things will give Teddy a jolt on his west ern trip. - —— Tou. JorNsON made a clean sweep of Cleveland on Tuesday, Democrats car- ried other important cities in Ohio, all of which is uncomforting to Hanna's presi dential aspirations. THE recommitment in the legislature, of the Sproul Good Roads bill, probably marks the end of all prospect of the in- auguration of a better system of public roads in this state for years to come. THE good citizens of Philadelphia are more than delighted over the prospect of having a healthy, clean, honest adminis. tration in the Mayor's office since Ash- bridge went out and Weaver took bis place. It wonld be refreshing to that corrupt city to have an era of good gov. ernment. There is hope for the city that was the cradle for Independence. The Pennsylvania railroad will bere. after do its own fire underwriting as well as that of the various corporations con- trolled by it or affiliated with it. To that end an insurance company to be known as''The Mutual Fire, Marine and Inland Insurance Company,” chartered in this state in December, 1902, was formally organized Tuesday at the Broad street station. ONE of the best combination offers ever made by The Centre Democrat is with the N. ¥. Tribune Farmer. Tie latter is a large illustrated, non-political 20-page, weekly farm paper, ably edit- ed, filled with matter of especial interest to the household and farm. We will send the two papers to any address one year for $1.25 Sabscribers who are paid in advance can secure the Tribune Farmer by sending us the 25 cts. addi. tional. If you don't have a copy of the Tribune Farmer, ask your postmaster, he likely may have ome. Remember, this offer is good only until May 12th, 1903. After that date the price for the two papers will be $1 so. THE conviction of school officials in Philadelphia for exacting black mail from female teachers as a condition to secure an appointment, is only a (raction of scores that are equally guilty in that city as well as in other sections of the state. There is an army of mach bigger rascals. Besides the money thus exact. | ed from these poor female teachers, an. other gang, as is well known, withheld | the pay from them for nigh a year, and | used the fund, upwards of a million dol. | lars, in private speculations. . When | Quay, a few years ago, was prosecuted | for unlawfully using the state funds, to! help his son Dick in stock speculations, | all of which was proven at the time, the | machine boss got clear by pleading the | limitation, the rogues act, and soon after | the corrupt machine, by bribery, elected | him to the U. 8, Senate, where he now is | in place of being in prison. Tur president is now on his trip to the | far west, and in his speeches in the big | towns he tells the people that there are two kinds of trusts, the ‘good trusts and the bad trusts.” Well, if he knows | there are ‘bad’ trusts why does he not | bave them wiped out by prosecution as is his duty? How does he know there | are “good” trusts? There can’t be a | good trust, for the reason that all trusts | are robber-tariff bred. If he knows of | bad trusts why does be not name them ? | Ab, he’s afraid—the “bad” trusts along | with the good trusts make up the boodle funds to elect trust protecting presidents, | Teddy is trying to pull the wool over the | eyes of the people of the far west. The | Sherman anti-trust law has been in force twelve years, and no enforcement of it | since it was passed notwithstanding the | president is sworn to enforce the laws, “Good and bad trusts,” that’s Teddy's April fool game. ~8ix for soc. at the Mallory studio, 20d floor Crider’s Exchange. | salary o | and so common has it | mean the methods employed by |.home in Miflinburg, Saturday. SCHOOL CORRUPTION. The public stood aghast at the ex- | posure made in Philadelphia, last week, | where school directors practically ex. torted thousands of dollars from the in- | received schools. The amount usually was the first month's | This same practice, we are reliably in formed, is common in other parts of the | state, not alone in the large cities, but in rural districts. This evil suggests other forms of corruption practiced every year, become that no We book | one takes any serious note of the act concerns and furniture houses to bribe school boards into purchasing their sup- plies. A large number of our readers at some time may have had some experi. | ence as school directors, and they can relate, if they wish, how they secured copies of Webster's unabridged diction- aries, encyclopedias, atlases or even cold cash in hand for favoring some cer- tain publishing house. The charge is too true and we have often heard agents boast of the manner in which they land ed an obstinate director or entire boards, These things are done year in and out, here in Centre county, where we claim to be living in a good healthy atmos phere, and the moral standard is high. Equally as notorious was the fact that al the election of the last County Super intendent, publicly bow easily entire school boards were changed about by the use of some “‘long green,” when they arrived in Bellefonte, men boasted It is a mistake to set down and heap all kinds of abuse on Philadelphia, when we can clean before our own doors, Humanity is weak, no matter where found, to the alluring temptations of bribe money. If Centre county knew the extent of bribery practiced in some school boards she would hide her tace in shame. Nor there is this an exception, we believe are other the where such sharp practices prevail to sections of state still greater extent. The man who will bring some corrup- tionist to justice, for trying to bribe school directors, will do a valuable ser” vice, but the wily book agent is usually sharp enough to cover his tracks and avoid a conviction, though guilty he may be of a most serious crime. - ADJOINING COUNTIES.

Accounts of smallpox from many sec- tions of the state, especially the central counties, are so frequent as to cause un- easiness, and a disinclivation to go abroad. Some towns report an nucaual number of cases. Frank M. Kessinger, a former residen, of Mill Hall, died very suddenly at his a veteran of the civil war having enlisted three times in the service.
