This is sad, if true, and we sup
pose it is true, or the Scranton
Republican wouldn't have declared
that there have been such gross
primary frauds in Lackawanna
Luzerne, Schuylkill, yes, and Phila-
delphia counties that the legislature
next to be elected will have to take
notice of them. So will election
officers" The Republican however,
thinks there will be fewer instances
of fraud, in the future, under the
present law, and the next legislature
will make such amendments to the
primary laws as will render fraud
more difficult"

month of July were 1,105, compared
with 1882 in July, 1908, and TT

$9,527,S93, against $14,222,126 in

1t has remained for the Bellefonte
Waterman to discover that President
Taft is a miserable weakling, con-
temptably servile, and stupendously
ignorant. These appellations are
given to him in connection with his
action concerning the Tariff bill.
We don't know who furnishes the
muddy grey matter for the
Watchman's editorials, but would
suggest that his party prejudice has
levanted with what little sense of
decency and justice that he may
ever have possessed, and that the
terms applied to the President of
the United States would be gross
hattery if used in regard to his own
particular case.

Turn Him Down.

When smooth-tongued chap
calls upon you, Mr.. Farmer, with a
new and valuable preparation for
preserving milk and cleaning bottles,
heed him not. A milk dealer in this
locality bought "Frezerine' with
which to sterilize his output, and
State Commissioner w. A. Hutch
inson had him arrested for selling
poisonous milk. 1t had been dis
covered that "Frezerine" contained
formaldehyde enough to seriously
affect the milk, and, although the
farmer was, to all intents, innocent
of wrong-doing, but on the other
hand, extremely careful as to milk
and cans, he was obliged to pay
fine of $50.

BRENNAN AND THE PRIMARY
LAW,

Democratic City Chairman w. J..
Brennan, of Pittsburg, entertained
a visiting committee of the New
York Legislature the other day. Be-
ing a personal friend of National
Committeeman j. NJ. Guffey, he no
doubt also reflects his political
views.
In discussing the uniform primary
election law in this State Mr.. Bren-
men said that it is piece of freak
legislation passed by hysterical
legislature and that it is manipul-
ated by the majority party. He
said, "the law provides that a voter
shall ask for the ballot of the party
he supported at the last election.
If this is adhered to the minority
can never get anything. 1t is hard
to get good candidates to run when
they know they will be defeated at
the election. Money can be spent
for what they call dissemination of
information" and under that head
comes every political sin from rob-
bing a postoffice to blackjacking a
man"
Whereupon one of the New York
committeeman slyly remarked, you
have been chairman here long
enough to know" Wasn't that a
hard one for Pittsburg Democrats?
But this so-called reform law
needs prompt and complete revision
by the next Legislature. 1t is
justly subject to severe criticism,
and few men are found in either
party to defend it. 1t falls far
short of reform and opens the way
for an amount of corruption un-
dreamed of in some localities before
its enactment. 1t is true that the
New York committee found some
prominent men in Philadelphia,
Harrisburg and Pittsburg who were
forced to admit that our great pri-
mary law, poor as 1t is, is an i'm
proVement on the delegate system.
But the general opinion of 1t is that
1t is confusing, expensive, cumber-
some and inefficient.

According to a Chicago dispatch,
Cardinal Gibbons doesn't think pro-
hibition practicable in large cities.
He is quoted as saying: However
much l am in favor of total alb
stinence, l feel that in the
large cities such as Chicago it
would prove impracticable, and if
laws providing for the revocation of
licenses were enforced in these cities
l fear the result would be the sur
reptitious sale of liquor"

The platform of the Democratic
party is mostly condemnation of
the party in power, but it does say
something about prosecuting capi-
tol grafters, protection of consum-
ers in tariff revision, the right of
working men to organize, and winds
up with pat on the back of the old
soldiers. Everyone will understand
the cooling, and particularly the old
soldier, whom, the Democrats prob
ably surmise, has forgotten which
party has always been his firm
friend.

THE TARIFF BILL A LAW.
Signed by the President and Now
in Force.

Signed by the President and Now
i'm Force.
President Taft affixed his sigma
ture to the tariff bill as finally
passed by both houses of congress,
at sos O'Clock on Thursday after
! noon and Friday it became the law
of the land.
President Taft gave out state
ment embodying his views of the
new tariff act, which he oesignates
officially as the Payne bill" in ac-
cordance with past customs of Civ
Ing first recognition to the framer
OF the measure in the house of
representatives.
The president declares that while
the bill is not perfect by any means,
nor "a complete compliance with
promises made, strictly interpreted"
1t is nevertheless a sincere effort on
the part of the party to make a
downward revision and to comply
with the promises of the platform.
The statement follows:
Il have signed the Payne tariff
bill because l believe it to be the
result of a sincere effort on the
part of the Republican party to
make a downward revision, and to
comply with the promises of the
platform as they have been gener-
ally understood and as I Interpreted
them in the campaign before cleo
ton.
The bill is not perfect tariff
Dill, nor a complete compliance with
the promises made, strictly inter-
preted, but a fulfillment free from
criticism, in respect to subject
matter involving many schedules
and thousands of articles, could not
be expected. 1t suffices to say that
except with regard to whiskey,
liquors and wines, and in regard to
silks and as to some high classes
of cottons-all of which may be
treated as luxuries and proper sub
Jects of revenue tariff-there have
been very few increases in rates.
There have been a great num-
Der of real decreases in rates and
they constitute sufficient amount
to justify the statement that this
bill is a substantial downward re-
vision, and a reduction of excessive
rates.
THE corporation tax is a lust
and equitable excise measure, which
it is hoped will produce a sufficient
amount to prevent a deficit and
which incidentally will secure valu-
able statistics and information con-
corning the many corporations of
the country, and will constitute an
important step in that degree of
publicity and regulation which the
tendency in corporate enterprises
in the last twenty years has shown
to be necessary"
The tariff has been revised and
