The settlement OF the fight between
Jud &c Robinson and General Lilly for the
Republican nomination for Governor in
favor OF the former should be source OF
much qualification to the people generally,
for the reason that the former, should he be
elected. would be an acceptable man to
head this State government. But he is
far from being elected. There has never
been in the State more bitterness and
malice shown against public man than
that directed toward Governor Hatfield,
and this opposition will now be trans
ferred in large measured to Judge Robin
son, who is recognized as Governor Hat
fields choice for the high office involved.
General Lilly will doubtless sheatlie his
dagger, as he has promised. But the
interests behind his candidacy are even
now getting ready to stab Governor Hat
field by sticking the knife deep into his
friend Robinson.

IT is announced that West Virginia's
direct tax levy for the coming fiscal year
will be nine cents on the hundred dollars
valuation-a reduction OF five cents on
last years levy. Next year the tax may
be reduced tour cents more. These facts
show conclusively that prohibition does
not increase taxation, but on the contrary
really places the State in better finan-
cial condition.
Maryland, with all its revenue from sa-
loon licenses, taxes its citizens 30 cents
on the 500 West Virginia, with not one
cent OF this dirty money, has a tax OF but
nine centS-and still going lower.

AT the National Prohibition Convention
in ST. Paul last week former Governor J..

we cannot help but wonder why they per-

Sea Lion Actors, With
Gollmar Brothers Circus

GOlImar BrOtnerS circus
Captain Kent's original conception,
the wonderful group Of comedy-play-
ing, music making and deft-juggling
seals, exhibited by the Gollmar Broth
ers and performed by their trainer,
present without doubt the most unique
display of animal training ever at
tempted. A casual glance at a number
of these curiously formed creatures as
they lie basking in the sunshine on
some wave-washed cliff, which lifts its
apex above the surrounding ocean, or
perhaps as in the distant artics, as
they lie in wait for food on the frlgld
shore line or huge floating mountains
of ice, would lead the onlooker to think
them the least tractable of animals.
Nature has apparently not provided
them with symmetrical limbs, with
which to move upon land, nor has she
endowed them with the advantages
possessed by many sea-livlng crea-
lures, yet this seemingly almost help
less beast is one of the most capable
of the lower animals as is most sur
prisingly shown by the marvelously
exact difficult feats of juggling, bal
ancing and catching, accomplished by
the members Of Captain kent's troupe
while their conception of comedy is
plainly shown by the many funny sit
uations presented in their human-like
exhibitions, in which they enact &C
tual comedy plays. That they enjoy
music is beyond question. Captain
Kent has among his troupe a number
of seals who actually approach mel
ody in their songs, while their per-
Torrance on musical instruments, tho
not rivaling a Maestro in musical
sense, still show them to be interested
in producing sound. Captain Kent is
the originator of this special class of
trained animal acts. While on cruise
in the seas of the far north number
Of years ago Captain Kent was Ice
bound for a number Of months off the
northeast coast of Greenland and here,
far away from civilized world, home
and friends, during the long sunless
days of an Arctic winter, the first
troupe Of performing seals was per-
fected. With a score of these furry
coated pets as his only companions,
save his ships company of hardy sail
ors, he was given an opportunity. to
study their natures and possibilities
of which he has taken full advantage
in perfecting them in their astonish-
ing performances. While it is true
that others have since attempted to i'm
itate his accomplishments, though with
less than Indifferent success, he is the
originator, and so far the only really
successful trainer of seals for exhib-
| itional purposes, and his act stands to-
day alone, the most unique trained ami
NAL show the world has ever known
Throughout the old world where Cap
tain Kent has heretofore exhibited his
company Of Oceanic Actors, they have
met with the most emphatic success
These Sea Lion Actors and musi.
clans come as a special feature with

Holidays are beautiful things as long as they last but no longer.
The Seward gateway., 1916-12-26

The peace message of President Wilson in the aggre- gate perhaps, brought brighter gleam to the human gloom than any other message since the first Christmas Countless thousands of women and children, no doubt saw in the message the geam of the hope that the day is approaching when the terror aroused by the fear for the safety of those they love shall be driven away like aA evil spirit Did the work of President Wilson have no further effect this alone peaceS him today on the brightest and L.chest pinnacle And Wilson was enabled to do this by
 the Genius of the United States that has kept it from the conflict and placed it outside of the maelStrom. Wilson is only the moutupece of the Genius, but even at that what greater fame could have than to give eXpres- sion to the spirit of great nation that IS so evidently blessed if peace should come through his efforts the name of Wilson must henceforth bear a halo. Without
 reverence may be said that his will be the name to take second place in relation to Christmas in human history

Expect Close Scores Today
in College Football Games

New York, Nov. 4. - Close scores
are expected to-day in at least two of
the eastern college football games
Yale VS.. Colgate at New Haven and
the Army against Notre Dame at West
Point. Last year the New York State
team defeated Yale. Is to O. Neither
team has met defeat this season.
Notre Dame has to her credit a
score of 1S2 points in four games
without score against her and is rated
fully as strong as last year. The Army,
however, has proved itself a formid-
able aggregation this season.
One of the best clashes of the day
should be furnished by Dartmouth
and Syracuse. The Navy will face
Washington and Lee at Annapolis;
Rutgers and Holy Cross will meet in
Newark; University of Virginia will
furnish opposition to the Harvard
players; Princeton will meet Bucknell
and Cornell which is in a process OF
reconstruction, will tackle Carnegie
Technical at Ithaca.

Bobby" Waugh Is Conner;
Is After Freddie Welsh

Cleveland, Nov. 4. - If any ambi-
tious lightweight expects to wrest the
championship title from the brow of
Freddie Welsh, he had better do it
quickly for there is now new knock
out artist in the horizon by the name
of Bobby Waugh, who is fast looming
up as the next best bet among the
lightweights.
Texans refer to their fellow citizen
as the coming lightweight champion,
and if record of past battles is an
indication of ability then this youth
certainly stands in the front rank with
White, Dundee and Leonard as. the
most likely to eventually succeed
Welsh to the title. Waugh has twice
fought Charley White and. the best
the Chicago lightweight could do on
either occasion was a draw with
Waugh.

BUCKNELL HAS
HARD SCHEDULE
Play Princeton, New York Uni
versity and w. and L. Before
Game in This City


Special work is now in order at both
Gettysburg and Bucknell in prepara-
ton for the game in this. city Satur-
day, November is.
Prior to the meeting of Gettysburg
at Harrisburg on November IS, the
Lewisburg' Collegians will make the
hardest trip ever scheduled for Buck
nell. To-day they play Princeton,
where they battle with Coach Rush's
warriors, Tuesday, Election Day, finds
them at New York University, and the
following Saturday they meet the
strong eleven of Washington and Lee
University. The next Saturday the
Gettysburg CollegianS will oppose
Bucknell.
Local Boy at Buckncll
The material from which the repre-
sentative eleven is to be picked, is
much more promising this year than
in former years. Never before has it
been a task for the coaches to select
the varsity, but this season the scrubs
compare favorably with the first-string
men, both in weight and in speed. For
the backfield, at least dozen men are
still contesting for the varsity call.
Among the candidates for the Sec
ond line of defense, is Hall, Harris
burg boy, who has been showing up
well at quarter and will more than
likely be the final choice of the
coaches. Weishaar, Hopler, Mangan
and Hendren, all veterans, and Wad-
dell and Baldauf, new men, are TAX
ing their turns in the backfield.
The coaches have found some diff
Guilty in selecting the varsity ends, but
they have three reliable men in Nc
Dermott Lawrence, a Steelton boy and
Silberstein. With the graduation of
Captain Schaffner last June, Bucknell
lost a most valuable man, but his posi-
ton will be we'll taken care of by Gill
bert, a former Williamsport high star,
who has already proved himself of
worth to Coach Johnston's squad.
