FRIDAY MORNIXG, JUNE 13, 1913 SUGAR LOBBY HEADS The heads of the Sugar Lobby are now testifying before the Senate Lobby Committee and censuring President Wilson and claiming they were given to understand that there was "nothing to fear" from the administration so far as sugar was concerned. The sugar magnates from Louisiana and Hawaii, who were called as witnesses, raised a regular calamity howl, but along with it admitted that they had used every effort in their power to have their agents, their jobbers and all their customers flood the mails with letters and heat the wires with telegrams to Senators and Representatives urging them to keep the tariff on sugar. "We tried to establish an endless chain of letters and telegrams, to draw the attention of Congress to our arguments," admitted Jules Godchomx while on the stand.

Their admissions are of record, revealing sectional- selfishness and self interest, but, as they intimate they dare not say that President Wilson as a candidate for the greatest" honor in the gift of the American people ever made any promises to the sugar interests, nor can such statement be made by any trust in any other line. He was bound by platform pfedges--and he has regard for them--to use his influence to reduce the cost of living and his course is most commendable. According to the arguments produced by the sugar people forty- seven states should suffer that the state of Louisiana may "wax fat" because of a dutj on sugar! Other states might make the same arguments when other schedules are taken up and thus the high tariff on all articles would remain, and the high "'cost of living continue. High-tariff papers have been accusing thfc Nation's Chief Executive of "lobbying" which he recently condemned. This, of course, is not strictly true.

He has opposed paid lobbies in his statement and you call his action what you please, he acted in the interests of the plain people, hence rather than lobbying he was championing the cause of the great mass qf all the people of all the states when he condemned the lobbies as "insidious." He was championing the cause of the nation while the lobbyists about Washington during the sessions of Co'ngress have the hired agents of trusts and He is but keeping faith with the American people, while they Are earning salaries for services rendered in the interests' of the coffers -of trusts and co'tnbine who are sel- tfishly interested in amassing wealth. They are working through their lobbying agents for their personal gain. President Wilson is using his power and his influence for the nation, and American people ought to thank God for such an able champion. STATE COLLEGE TRIP Visitors Well Pleased With Conditions at the Institution. The very low rate Pennsylvania Railroad Farmers' Excursion to State College, June 5, was well patronized.

That the farmers along the line of the Bedford Division appreciate this move of the railroad to co-operate with the State College management in bringing before the public the results of its experimental work, was evidenced by the large number of farmers who availed themselves of this opportunity to visit the College. The excursion train leaving Hyndman at 5:45 a. m. had on board over 250 persons--farmers, their wives and others--when it arrived at Altoona. Here it was consolidated with a similar train bearing almost 300 persons from Morrison's Cove for the same destination.

This made up a train of 13 coaches which, without any delays or mishaps, arrived at State College about noon. Other trains from other sections of the state arrived, until about 1,500 visitors were on the college grounds. 'After lunch, in conveyances provided at the expense of the College, the visitors were taken over the large area covered by the experimental farming operations. On every si.de was beheld in the excellent gi owing crops, the results of proper fertilization. The herd of beef cattle was viewed with admiration and wonder.

The orchard of thrifty growing young trees was pointed out as the lesult of proper selection of stock and careful cultivation. The gardening, the dairy herd, the poultry, all showed the unmistakable results of system and applied science. Here can be seen. the results of years of experimental' farm work, all of which is available for the use of the farmer today at a nominal cost. Farmers who can should not fail to visit State College and look over its operations.

It will pay. One Who Was There. Paint and Not Paint was never before so high as last year: about $2.25 a gallon Devoe and a half-dollar less for trash. What is trash? It looks like paint and pretends to be isn't worth painting. It costs a painter's day's-work to put- on a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a painter's day's-work is $3 or $4.

Add that to the price of a gallon. That is the cost of a gallon. Devoe is $5 or $6 a gallon; and trash a half-dollar less. But Devoe is all paint and more too; you add oiLto it; a gallon is 5 or 6 quarts of perfect paint for the painter's pot. But trash, is three- quarters two-thirds or half paint; you pay a half-dollar less for nobody- knows-what-it-is.

10 gallons Devoe is enough for the average job; it takes 15 to 20 gallons of trash. And the wear same way. Unfortunately, they look alike when first put-on. DEVOE Metzger Hardware and House Furnishing Company sell it. Adv.

Harrisburg, June 11--The people of Pennsylvania are being given an object lesson these days in legislative extravagance, chaotic lack of system, rhyme or reason in appropriations, and the indefensible method "of using the State Treasury for political advantage that has existed under Machine rule in t-bT state since Penrose's predecessors first began to shake the plum tree. A vigorous but generally ineffectual fight by Democrats, and Independents to rid the appropriations of some of their prossest features marked the week. The administration whip cracked menacingly, and weak- kneed Progressives were corralled protestingly, roped, thrown and branded with the administration mark. The kickers were threatened with loss of appropriations for their home and the old threat proved as potent as of yore in bringing the recalcitrants to time.

Representative Bergey, Democrat, of Montgomery County threw the administration forces into a temporary panic Monday night by a vigorous' speech in which he scared the fake progressives and lashed Penrose and the administration for the burlesque of progressivism they are trying to impose upon the people. So smarting to the Gangsters and the pseudo- Progressives were the Montgomery County Democrat's words that Speaker Alter, administration i apologist and self proclaimed Progressive, felt called upon to rule the speech out of order. Mr. Bergey declared that "for the administration or the senior United States Senator to assume the position of favoring Progressive legislation is a monumental farce in the face of prevailing facts of which every member is familiar." "There has never been a moment during the present session of the Senate," he pointed out, "when it -was impossible for the administration or the Senior Imited States Senator to crack, the whip forth any legislation desired in the Senate, and for the Senior United States Senator of this state to go about now advocating progressive legislation under such circumstances is an insult to our intelligent citizenship and should be resented by every patriotic citizen," Mr. Bergey denounced the system of making appropriations and, concluded: "This humble protest may have no effect upon your action tonight upon the proposed amendment, but some day it will be necessary for any member to demand direct recognition in behalf of the state foir the money given to private institutions, fo.r, people will rise and' elect a Governor brave big 4o annihilate this practice of paying millions annually funds the state into private treasuries', 9ver which 'it has no jurisdiction."

Post Meeting At a meeting of Major William Watson Post, No. 322, G. A. held here on Tuesday, a resolution' was offered and was unanimously and heartily adopted, thanking the friends of the old soldiers for the generous contribution of flowers and the general interest manifested upon Memorial Day. This kindly interest was particularly noticeable in Friend's Cove, Schellsburg and at Bedford.

The members of the Post more fully appreciate the kindness because of the unusual scarcity of flowers in some of the localities mentioned, shown in gardens or yards, yet in the cemeteries there appeared to be an ample supply for the occasion. They also appreciate the movement of the people toward the cemeteries notwithstanding the threatening weather. The space given in the newspapers before and after Memorial Day to the affairs special to that daj have gladdened the hearts of the comrades who are awaiting "taps," taps that have been answered by the other comrades that tenant the sod-topped tents and are resting till reveille on "Judgment Morn." as blackberries in autumn, and nearly every institution that has received State aid in the "past -asked for a larger sum- this year than ever before. In most' cases the requests were indorsed by the generous Appropriations' Committee and- granted by the complaisafi't House. That body gave a remarkable' demonstration, by its indifference to the demands of economy and justice, the 'absolute necessity of a Department of Public Charities, such as was'pro- vided for in a Democratic bill still "pickled" incommittee, and the complete divorcement of such appropriations from politics.

Another indorsement of a Democratic policy was given when John R. K. Scott, Philadelphia's insurgent Republican member, forced the House to adopt resolutions calling upon the heads of various departments for itemized statements their expenditures of previous appropriations and their necessities for the ensuing two years. Similar resolutions, offered and supported by Democrats at the beginning of the session, were killed. Had they then passed it is probable the state would be saved hundreds of thousands of dollars of extravagant appropriations.

Tener Extravagance The reckless disregard of expenditures of the present administration is shown by the fact that during the first two years of the Governor's term of office they exceeded by $4,238,000 the expenses of the last two years of Tener's predecessor, the total expenditures reaching the enormous sum of $21,043,889.23. That the record of the next two years will far eclipse this is certain. The rec- ommendations of the Appropriations Committee greatly exceed the possible revenue of the state.
