Page 3 THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA, APRIL 2, FRANCIS SPEER'S Breezy “That” Column - | Tuar if you are hunting for the small- | est man in Bellefonte just pick out the stingiest, Tuar some people in Bellefonte are | always prepaved for any emergency— except twins, Tar when E. R., Chambers, the Bellefonte lawyer, goes into Jim Sum-| mer's restaurant, it's acase of law and | order, | THAT love may be blind but marriage | is a pretty good eyeopener, How many young girls in Bellefonte have seen this | when it was too late, TurAT many a wife in Bellefonte will | look like a saint 1n her Easter bonnet, but | before the milliner is paid her husband | will look like the hod Tuar if the Hostetter bitters man | needs additional hops he probably could | find some in Bellefonte just now as we | have three dancing classes. : | That it is stated that a Centre county | man in advertising his farm states that | it is advantageously located twenty-five miles from as office. | Tuar Henry Lowry, the Belletonte contractor, says the best way to tréata| knocker is to give hing a handful of nails, | a hatchet and a pine board, | THAT it is stated that a man in Allen- | town fell recently and tore his liver. It] would be a good thing if some fellows in | Bellefonte would fall some day and tear | their gall. Tuar Rex Barlett, of Bellefonte, says that he has been around enough where there is baking going on to know that a mince pie may be puffed up, but the doughnut is really the whole thing. Tuat there is a woman in Bellefonte who is running her husband into the ground by trying to keep up with the fast set. A man with a brainless wife might just as well be in the world of despair, THAT there are two young men in Bellefonte who have palpitation of the heart over one young lady. The chances are that the wrong fellow will marry the girl, and she is to be pitied. THAT there is a man in Bellefonte who isn't satisfied with holding his own wife but slips out on the “Q. T.” and nurses the wife of a neighbor. It is said that at | times this chap wears slippers to deaden | the noise. THAT there is a young man in Belle. | fonte if he would attempt to show as | much discourtesy at his own home as he | does when he is 1n an another's home, he | would be invited to leave, and that | mighty quick. Tar the fellow in Spring township | who is making so many friendly calls | at a certain house when the husband is away, had better resist the temptation | and pass by, The people are beginning to smell the rat. Tuar when a person in Bellefonte or | Centre county gets so stingy as to bor- row a newspaper when they could pay | for one themselves reminds us of the fel- | low who talked through his nose to keep | his teeth from wearing out.

What About a Cook-Stove? Now that summer time and ‘“‘dog days” are just ahead, everybody who “summers” at home, is considering how | to simplify things and get the most com- fortable situation, We interview the ice-man; order thin | clothes; plan toease up here and relax there; but more than likely forget the one most important item in the whole hot-weather scheme—some means of doing the family cooking without the in: ) : | solution was adopted, ‘ceived. (Furnished by Local Option Committee) TO THE VOTERS OF CENTRE CO. Fellow Citizens '— |} At a Mass Meeting held in the Court house in Bellefonte, on Feb, 6th, last, the undersigned were chosen as a committee to conduct a canvass and do whatever seemed fair and reasonable to do to secure the nomination of candidates for the! | Bweetbreads For the Dearest Persian | legislature who, if elected, would support and vote for a “LOCAL OPTION BILL" | { at the legislative session of 1909, | appointed that the legislature of 1go7 smothered such a bill in committee, and by The good people of the state were greatly dis- | this means took from them the right to pass on this question, During the campaign it has been frequently declared by interested parties that this is Prohibition, This is a mis-statement of the fact and known to beso by those who make it, who are opposes. to the passage of a" LOCAL OPTION BILL" and the submission of the question | license or no license to the people, The proposition to submit such a question to the people is so preeminently fair that it is amazing that even those who favor license should oppose it, “It is but the right of a free people to have, by legislative enactment, provis- ions made for the use of the ballot to give expression of opinion upon a question of such vital moment. To deny it would be a disgrace and should cover the perpetra. | tors of such tyranny with “ODIUM AND INFAMY.” wits On the 14th of March the Committee sent to each person who had announced himself to be voted for at the primaries as a candidate for the legislature, the fol- lowing letter BeLLeronTe, PA., MARCH 14. 1908 Dear Siv:—At a meeting of the undersigned the following preamble and re. You are respectfully requested to give us assurance within a week from getting the same, as to your position, WHEREAS, in view of the fact that the local option question will be one of | the most important that can or will come before the next session of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. AND WHEREAS you have announced yourself as a candidate for representa. | tive from Centre county in the next legislature, therefore, R ESOLVED-—That the local option committee respectfully request you to de. fine your position on the Local Option Question, and if you should be nominated and elected whether you will use all honorable means both by work and vote to| secure the passage of such a measure, This preamble and resolution is submitted to all candidates for the legislature of both the great political parties. This committee is not a political committee, | { It is our desire only to ascertain the position of the candidates so that the voters of y both parties may be advised as to whom they can r them fairly and honestly on this great question. Very truly yours, D. F. FORTNEY, Chairman ely upon to properly represent Isaa Jara y Harris, Treas. ‘0 this time the only replies received have been from J. C. Meyer, Es Foster, Charles E. Fisher and R, M. Foster and are as follows Uxperwoobn, Sec'y. q., W. | Persian tabby In all the world, and es BeLLeroxTE PA, MARCH 16, 1908 D. F. For INEY President Centre County Local Option Committee Bellefonte, Penna My Dear Sir beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th, | stant jrequesting that as a candidate for thefDemocratic nomination for Assembly state my position on the enactment of a proposed Local Option Law. I now hereby cheerfully comply with your request, because 1 do not desire the support and confidence of the people of our county without being entirely frank and honest with them upon this issue, so that they may be able to vote intelligently, I am convinced that the question you refer to will be an important and well defined issue in the approaching campaign. I may go a step further and say, that while the liquor traffic has always been and always will be a great moral issue in the public mind and conscience, it is beginning latterly to assume the phase of a great commercial problem, Recently large corporations employing much labor have declared an advanced code of conduct for their employees and now require of them absolute sobriety as a condition of service, Because, therefore, the right to sell intoxicating liquors as a beverage affects general welfare of the community, I believe the people should have a voice in determination of the question, and I do not want anyone to be in doubt as to where I stand on that question. Let me say, therefore, that if I should be se- lected as the proper person to represent Centre county in the House of Representa- tives of ml ad ay I shall use all honorable means to secure the enactment of a LOCAL OPTION LAW and shall vote for its prompt and speedy passage.
