Eu ro] < an servants are entitued to tipc as an assured part of their income. At the hotels the theory is that the landlord furnishes a guest a private room and the use of the public rooms, heat and light, food and dishes, but not menial service. For convenience he keeps at hand a corpsi of servants who will k .■-pond to the guest's sum mons, bu at hi ', expense, 'n old times, says Travel .Magazine, tnvelers were attended by their own servants to wait oil them. The modern custom echoes the ancient. The traveler no longer carries with him a retinue of servants, because he can hire tempor arily those of the landlord. The cus tomary fees are the payment. To avoid feeing is really to cheat the ser vants, who need all they can get. heaven knows. A chambermaid at the .best hotels receives as wages only 'about two dollars a month. Tipping .■servants in America is a regrettable limitation of the European custom, without its resting on the reasonable basis of the foreign institutions. American Chivalry. • Toward women the American man's attitude is fine. She is neither his deity nor his doll. He simply treats her with deference. His chivalry has as little to do with saccharine utter ances, scraping feet, and bended iknees, as has his patriotism with hys terical shriekings and the waving of (ensanguined Hags. He is stronger in liis silence and apparent submission to the ladies of his household than the most blatant vulgarian who prates of rdomestic domination. Place aux Dames is more than a phrase to the American man. His inborn respect (for her "rights" often causes him to sacrifice his own God-given privileges. Upon the face of the earth or upon the waters thereon, says .Minna Thomas Antrim in Lippincott's, exists no more chivalrous being than the .American gentleman. The burning of the art treasures in John Wanamaker's homo, of .manu script Lincoln and Washington letters, of rare books and pictures impossible ito replace, is a public as well as a private loss. Of such objects no man can be more than a trustee for poster ity, remarks the New York World. The loss of the manuscript letters re calls the burning of Major Lambert's collection of similar treasures in Philadelphia only a short time ago. Mr. Wanamaker had reason to sup pose that he had protected the greater part of his collections by a fire-wall cutting off the art galleries from the rest of his house, but the galleries went with the rest when the blazing wall of the house crashed through their roof. The amazing thing in connection with the endless chain system of prayers, begging letters, etc., which cause so much annoyance to their re cipients and to postal authorities is that anyone can be influenced by the dread of ill fortune befalling him if he fails to obey the injunction to con tinue the chain by writing nine other •letters. The simple and effective way of stopping the nuisance is for the recipient to drop all such mail into the waste basket and then to forget it. A link with the past haft lately been broken. The dowager Countess de la Peyrouse de Boufels, who died in Aix en-Provence the other day, was the goddaughter of Napoleon Bftnaparte. He was sponsor at her baptism in St. Helena, where she was born in ISI6. Charles Curtis, who was lately elect ed to the United States senate from Kansas, is more completely American than any other member of that body. His mother was a full-blooded Kaw Indian. Mr. Curtis has served in the house of representatives 14 years. The refusal of the Rothschilds to lend Brazil $25,000,000 indicates that, however strong German's interest in Berlin may be, she is more interested jin her pocketbook. NATION AND STATE SENATOR BEVERIDGE DEFINES REPUBLICAN POSITION. Nation's Power Above That of State to Right Evil or Secure Bene fit for the Whole Ameri can People. Tn a printed debate on the subject of state's rights between Senator Beveridge and William Jennings Bryan, appearing in the Header .Mag azine, Senator Beveridge refers to the reeent contests waged by advocates of state's rights against certain fed eral legislation; the Louisiana State lottery; the sending of obscene liter ature through the mails, the meat bill, etc., etc., and defines the position of the Republican party on future meas ures as follows: "When an evil or a benefit is so widespread that it affects so much of the country as to be called national, tlie nation's power should be equal to end that evil or secure that benefit to the American people. "When an evil or benefit is purely local and affects none of the American people except that part of them who live in the state where the evil exists or the benefit can be applied, and nowhere else, the state should end that evil or secure that benefit. "The storm raised by the beef trust scandal caused the pa wage of the pure food bill; and stale's rights, though sorely wounded, made little outcry because it would have been most unpopular. You will observe that state's rights is a very politic creature and seldom becomes excited for 'lib erty.' except when some financial in terest is endangered by the assertion of nationality. State's rights is not often heard of, unless financial inter ests are threatened; and not even then, if the people happen to be suf ficiently aroused against an evil which nationality will end. "An example immediately at hand: Child slavery exists in the mining re gions and in the silk mills of Pennsyl vania, the cotton factories of the south, the glass works of New .Jer sey and West Virginia, and, indeed, at numerous points throughout the whole republic. Scores of thousands of lit tle children, from five to 14 years of age, are compelled to work from ten to 12 hours a day to their physical, mental and moral ruin and the de generacy of the race. * * * And now. behind the mask of 'state's rights,' the interests profiting by child labor are frantic against the proposed law prohibiting interstate commerce in the products of child labor —this, too, although state's righta is not tech nically touched by the bill. The states do not and can not stop it. "Powerful interests which exploit the people and the nation's resources can more easily handle a smaller por tion of ihe American people for their purposes than they can handie the en tire 80,000,000 of the people for their purposes. And if they are defeated in one state —one small subdivision of the American people—they always have 45 other chances. "The extent to which the Ameri | can people are divided (into states) j precisely measures the extent to ; which their power to end abuses is diminished. It is all summed up in ; Hi'- republic's motto, 'United we stand, divided wo fall.' "This does not mean destruction of the states in their natural spheres of ! action. And their natural spheres of ! action are described by the phrase j 'local government.' "All this (the growth in population ' woven into a unit by railroad, tele ! graph and telephone) creates new ' problems which the old theory of i state's rights never contemplated, and ; new necessities on the part of the peo ple which state's rights can not sup ply. But the people's problems must be solved, the people's necessities sup plied. Each day makes it clearer that only tl.e nation can do this. That is I why the nation is doing it. If the states could do that work better, nothing could prevent them from do ing it. It is because the nation is the i only force equal to the daily develop j ing needs of the people that national j ity is developing, and for no other j reason. In all of this there is no | harm, but only the welfare of the people; for it is merely the people i themselves acting in common for their common good." It is understood that in the senti ments expressed, Senator Beveridge speaks for the administration. Where the Farmer Comes In. In the calendar year 1906 American manufactures of iron and steel ex ported to foreign countries amounted in value to $172,500,000, against $ 143,- 000,000 in 1905, $128,500,000 in 1904, and $99,000,000 in 1903, having thus increased 75 per cent, in three years. This $172,500,000 for 1901 is high rec ord of exports of iron and steel man ufactures. Paid to the producers of the United States by consumers in other parts of the world, it is the equivalent of yearly wages of SSOO each, earned by 34,500 American work men and by them distributed into all the channels of supply. The Ameri can farmer got a very liberal share i of the $172,500,000 of foreign money thus spread around, for the extra force of wage earners employed in producing the goods exported, to gether with their families, consumed probably ten times the quantity of American farm products that would I have been consumed by foreign work j crs engaged abroad in producing the | $172,500,000 worth of iron and steel. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY MARCH 21, 1907. NO DIAGRAM IS fJEEDED. William Whitman's Position on Tariff Easily Understood. We ought not to allow our indus trial system to be made a political plaything. -From a speech of Wil liam Whitman, at Boston. Mr. Whitman is president of the National Association of Woolen Man ufacturers. lie was talking about tar iff revision. No diagram is needed to explain his position.—N. Y. Sun. Mr. Whitman's position is easily un derstood. Briefly, ii is that the up roar for tariff revision has politics us its origin and development. He knows that it is being utilized by political schemers as a means to tut end. As a large employer of labor, with big pay rolls to meet and a heavy output of manufactured products to market, lie naturally objects to the surrender of the country's industrial interests to the tender mercies of political game sters. He does not play politics. lie is a producer and a wage payer. To him and many thousands similarly situated tariff stability is a vital requisite to business stability; a con dition too Important to be made a po litical playtliing. That is his position, and it needs no diagram. When busi ness men of tho stamp of William Whitman raise their voices in pro test against the schemes and strata gems of Self-seeking politicians like Guild and Foss it is time for the Re publican party to take notice. CHANGE OF DIET NOT WANTED. /fx".' \ Tariff Reform Food Crank —That gross diet is very harmful; let mo feed you some of this. Uncle Sam—Oh, go 'long. That stuff might, do for a man who is get ting ready to die, but not for a man who lias more work than he can do. The Difficulty. The New York Tribune remarks that "it ought not to be difficult for the United States and Germany tc come to a satisfactory understand ing." True, it. ought not to be diffi cult. But it lias been made difficult by the alliance between tariff ripping Republicans and tariff ripping Demo crats working in such organizations as the American Reciprocal Tariff league to break down the protective rates of the Dingley tariff. Germany lias been misled by this combination into supposing that American senti ment supported her demand for tariff concessions. Shi 1 is now discovering her error, and accordingly postpones her maximum tariff another 18 months. Once Germany is convinced that the United States lias 110 inten tion of abandoning its protective tar iff system there will be no difficulty in coming to an understanding. Cummins Lets Goof the Tariff. As Gov. Cummins did not mention tariff revision either in his message or liis inaugural address, the matter can be considered closed. It was a long, hard fight, and we hope now the governor will steady down and pull true in the party traces. A iki litical party is always in need of load ers, that they should study well the desires of their party, and aid in bringing about its wishes. If the gov ernor finds himself to-day simply a leader of a faction he can lay the blame on no one but himself. It may be a temptation to be in advance of public sentiment, but one is apt to give more weight to his own opinion than the merit, of the case warrants, and he finds himself stranded, and wonders why.—Vinton Eagle. First the Minimum. Secretary Root in a speech recently favored that kind of tariff reform that will place the country 011 a maximum and minimum tariff basis. This kind of a change has been advocated for some years, and one of its earliest and ablest advocates has been the secretary of the treasury. It repre sents a vital principle and one with which discriminations on the part of other countries against the United States can be most successfully com bated. The country that treats us fairly will be given the minimum tar iff and the other the maximum tariff. It is the kind of a tariff, properly safe guarded, that we may have in this country sit some time in the near fu ture.—Cedar Rapids Republican. Long, Windy Streets. The longest street in the United States, and in the world as well, is Western avenue, Chicago, which is 22 miles long. Its nearest rival is Hal sted street, also in Chicago, which Is two-thirds of a mile shorter. Halsted street is so much more closely built uji that, it is usually spoken of as tho longest street in the world. A KNOCKOUT BLOW IT IS GIVEN TO STANDARD OIL ARGUMENT IN A REBATE CASE AT CHICAGO. JUDGE LANDIS IN THE FEDERAL COURT RENDERS DECISION IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT. Chicago, lll.—The contentions of tho attorneys i'or the Stand ard Oil Co. that the government, ! which is now prosecuting the com- ■ pany on indictments charging it with I accepting rebates, had not. proven the ! existence o£ the route by which it : claimed the alleged shipments in vio- j lation of law had been made, were on j Friday swept away by Judge Landis iu the United States district court. The court declared that, the govern ment had proven the existence of a route by the Chicago & Alton railroad from Whiting, lnd., and Chappell, 111., to St. Louis, lie also declared that the omission of the name of Chappell from the tariff sheet did not invali date that tariff as applied to tiie Standard Oil case. It was asserted by the attorneys for the defendant company that the gov- J eminent had not shown sufficient pub- j Hcatioii of the tariff sheet. Judge j Landis declared that the publication had been shown as far as necessary to warrant a prosecution of the pres ent case. The arguments had lasted for al most three days, and a decision in favor of the Standard Oil Co. meant that the government would be pre vented from producing further evi- , deuce. It had brought into court wit- \ nesues In testify to the existence of the route to SL Louis-;, and if tho ; coui t had decided that 110 route had ; been proven, the government neces sarily could never have shown that freight had been shipped as alleged in the indictments. The prosecution had shown before the arguments were begun that the . tariff sheets were posted in tho rail- ; way offices in Chicago where the prin- j cipal business connected with the oil j shipments was transacted, and the court declared that the only use which the oil company had for Whit ing, lnd., and Chappell, 111., as far as ; this particular case was concerned j was for the handling of freight. HUMMEL TESTIFIES. He Tells of an Affidavit in Which Eve lyn Nesbit Said Harry Thaw Had Beaten Her. New York. —With Attorney Delmas fighting him every inch of the way, District Attorney Jerome 011 Friday secured from Abraham Hummel his complete story as to tho 1 affidavit which ii is alleged Evelyn i Nesbit Thaw made in the lawyer's of fice in 1!)(!:'. charging Harry K. Thaw with beating her when she had told him that tho statement that Stanford White had drugged and ruined her was not true. The Hummel testimony came during the afternoon session of tiie trial and Mr. Delmas, first object- i ing broadly to all of Hummel's testi- ! mony, offered a specific objection to ! each question put by tiie prosecutor, j Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called to the stand in the effort of the defense to keep Hummel silent. She declared she had called upon Hummel in his professional capacity and to seek his advice as a lawyer. Stanford White ; had taken her to the lawyer's office I with that end in view. Justice Fitzgerald declared that, ad mitting tiie proposition of counsel and 5 client. Mrs. Thaw had herself waived ; the professional 'privilege by taking tho stand early in the case and giving her version of what transpired at ' Hummel's office. The bond of secrecy j once removed could not be re-estab- | lished. District Attorney Jerome completed his medical testimony during tho morning session, Attorney Delmas for j the defense declining to cross-ex amine any of the experts. Five alien- ' ists were called one after another, j Each said lie was familiar with the j hypothetical questions framed by the i prosecution. Basing their opinions on j these questions they all declared that j Thaw 011 the night he shot and killed ! Stanford White knew the nature of ; his act, and knew that the act was j wrong. FINANCE AND TRADE. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Business Conditions. New York. —R. G. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Heview of Trade says: Spring trade is making a most sat isfactory comparison with the volume at this time last year, except in a few sections where the weather is unfavorable, and mercantile collec tions improve steadily despite the high money market. Leading indus tries have orders covering production well into the future, especially cotton factories and steel mills, while the output of pig iron when the month opened was close to the largest on record. High prices In the footwear industry have checked placing of contracts for fall shoes at New En gland factories, some decline in prices of hides and leather encouraging buy ers to delay ordering the finished pro duct, but most mills are still busy on spring goods. Prices are well maintained in all sections of iron and steel industry. Engineer and Fireman Killed. Little Rock, Ark.—An eastbound Rock Island passenger train ran into an open sw!U>~ at Cu neo, Ark., Friday. Engineer Killcoyne and Fireman Currier were killed. In vestigation disclosed that the wreck was the work of a train wrecker. None of the passengers were injured. Murderous Jealousy. Butler, Pa.
