Layers of odds at the race track are prone to circulate tales of their enor mous losses upon certain races, but it is seldom that a loss on a run may be shown, for it has been figured by ex perts, states the New York Herald, that a skillful layer makes a book showing a percentage of 25 in his favor, by which he is bound to retain at least one-fourth of his takings. Large losses happen oc casionally when an unexpected victory pays 40 or 50 to 1, but as a general thing, unless the bookmaker deliberate ly gambles with chance, he "makes book" so that he will show a profit on each race. A skillful bookie can so manipulate the odds that at no point does he stand to lose on a race, and, like his brother of the gambling house, his profit lies in this percentage In his favor. Even where gambling games are run without recourse to fraud the odds in favor of the dealer are never less than 20 per cent. Difference in Envoys. A London writer says Sergius Wittc belongs to the mastiff type, Baron Komura to that of the weasel. The Russian envoy's manners are notorious ly bad, so bad that he rarely enters the czar's presence without making some courtier's hair stand straight on end. Genial as he is by nature, he is often rough and off-hand, and sometimes he is quite brutal in his callousness; he tramples conventionality under foot ruthlessly and calls spades spades in a fashion that his enemies dub indecent. The Jap's manners, on the contrary, are exquisite. His courtesy is as kindly as it is ceremonious, and there is some thing quite touching in the gentle defer ence he shows to all whom he meets, even while allowing not one of them to approach him too nearly. Just as M. Witte is a stanch democrat, Baron Komura is an aristocrat by instinct. Civilization stands for something definite, yet it is hard to measure. Not by foot-pounds or kilowatts or amperes or ohms can it be estimated, yet a cer tain college professor has hit upon a plan for attaining results which will uo interesting, although not conclusive, says Youth's Companion. He has been traveling up and down the country, vis iting schools far and wide, and putting a series of questions to the pupils. One of them is: "If not yourself, who would you rather have been?" According to the age at which the pupils show some of the larger knowledge of the world, and according to ihe answers they make, the professor rates the standing of the community which they represent. At last accounts, Springfield, Mass., was i;j the lead. Theoretically a college match pro vides an opportunity for generous emu lation between young men in someforia of recreation which they follow for iU own sake. This conception is retained in England better than in this country, where the national tendency to make a business of whatever is undertaken works against the best form of amateur sport. It is thus that great expenses are felt to be necessary in training; there is a tendency to take professional per formances as the standard, and with this goes of necessity a desire for elab orate training and the erection of what should be a recreation into a solemu duty of winning. And from this in turn arise most of the troubles which have attended the growth of college athletics. Miss Ida SUM i.an, ol Brooklyn, will present a unique medal to Martin Corcoran, a teamster. Across the bar will be t he word "Humanity" and on the pendant the inscription: "Presented ;o Martin Corcoran on Sepieniber 5, 1!)U!>, for Being the Mo 1 Humane Driver in Greater New York."

Because the republicans in Ohio, Vir ginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the other states which elect governors in 1905 are making, or are to make, their canvass on national issues, some demo cratic papers and politicians pretend to be surprised. The only surprising thing about this is that anybody should have the effrontery to affect surprise. This is the usual order of things, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In near ly all the states in nearly every canvass in which governors or other state offi cers are chosen national questions are at the front. This is unavoidable in a great coutnry like ours, in vyiiich large issues of some sort are almost always being discussed. In every one of the states-here mentioned a good deal of at tention will be given to local concerns by the republicans. In Ohio, in the opening of the campaign. Gov. Herrick discussed state issues almost solely, and ho said some things which will bother the democrats to answer. The republi can candidate in Virginia is also giving a good deal of attention to state ques tions. So will the republican nominees in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, whoever they chance to be. It is not a question of weakness on local questions for the republicans to discuss the great issues which are be fore their party in the nation at large. Whatever the peculiarities of their local politics may be, there are concerns which appeal alike to republicans from Maine to California and from Mary land to Oregon. They form a bond of union between the republicans of the entire country. The party's record on all the national questions is an element of strength for its members in every slate. The republican candidates in Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Ohio will gain many votes because of their parly's intelligence, progress iveness and courage in national con cerns. Every republican state conven tion which has been held in 1905 has pointed triumphantly to the record of the Roosevelt administration. Every elate convention of the party which is yet to be held this year will do the 6aine. The republican record for cham pionship of the interests of the people —of all the people, democrats and re publicans. south and north—is an asset of incalculable value to every candi date of the party for every office, local at: well as national. In every state which votes in 1905 the republican candidates, stump ora tors and newspapers will give much attention to the issues of peculiar con cern to themselves, in their own com munities. In most cases they will prob ably-give more attention to these mai lers than the democrats will like. On the whole, the republican state gov ernments throughput the north and west have managed their affairs with ability and honesty. The people are satisfied with Ihe republican govern ments which they have, and are likely to continue them. Herrick will be re turned to power in Ohio. Utter of Rho;if. Island will be succeeded by himself or some other republican. It is pe.liaps too much to expert that tha republicans will carry the democratic stronghold of Virginia, but they wl'.l put up a fight which will be memorable for its intelligence and vigor. The democrat Douglas in Massachusetts will be succeeded by a republican. In every Roosevelt state of last year which votes Ibis year the conditions are favorable to the republicans. The democrats realize this, and will not be surptised at the returns which will bs spread before (lie country on the morn ing of November J?. On local as well as national issues the republican party has the American people on its side in 1905, as it had in 1904.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1905. SHOULD BE NO TARIFF JOLT If the Dingley Law Is Good, Why Should the Hand of Re vision Touch It? A curiously tuned "bugle call" for tariff revision comes from that staunch and stalwart organ of republicanism and protection, the Pittsburg Ga zette. Lest it be imagined that the Ga zette has fallen from the faith and embraced false doctrines, we quote from its editorial a few sentences that have the ring of truth: "There is no room to doubt that a pro tective tariff is the basis of national prosperity. The student of history can not avoid that conclusion if he follows the lines with an open mind. "Teeming prosperity greets the ob server on every hand. Mills and fac tories are overwhelmed with orders, la bor is fully employed, the fecund earth is yielding crops almost without paral lel in agricultural annals. "If tariff adjustment is a shock to business there will never come a mo ment when business will be in better condition to bear it. "This prosperity, practically contin uous, began with the enactment of the Dingley law. That law was the founda tion on which it was built." Why, then, asks the Rochester Dem ocrat and Chronicle, with a tariff under which abounding prosperity lias been obtained and retained should the hand of revision be laid upon an instrument so powerful in its promotion of the com mercial and industrial activities of the country? Because, in the words of the Gazette, "the common people, grown rotund with fatness, have forgotten the lean years and are demanding a change in the tariff laws." Because "if the Fif ty-ninth congress does not do this, no man may say who will be called to do it." Because "the Fifty-ninth congress is a republican congress. It is economical ly sound. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon is a protectionist; Sereno E. Payne, John Dalzell, Charles H. Grosvenor, ranking members of the committee on ways and means; these are among the most ardent protectionists in this country. With these men to lead and a solid phalanx of republicans behind them, when tho tariff is taken up for revision it will be in the hands of its friends. It will be revised right. No industry, no ma terial interest w ill suffer. There ought, not to bo any fear about revising the tariff while these men, good and true, are there to do it." All of which, apparently, means some thing like this: That the everlasting clamor of the free traders against the protective system is making an impres sion on a large mass of people who do not know when they .are well off. who are liable to be led astray and who may suddenly vote into power the anti protection party. Therefore the repub lican party should forestall any such movement by revising the tariff :;fter its own fashion and in line with the popular sentiment may be appeased and principles of the Dingley law, so that tranquilized by the form of a revision which shall effect a change in schedules but not in the spirit and policy which pervade the present tariff. Then, says the Gazette, "let it alone for the next ten years." A shrewd plan, honestly stated, but in its very nature wholly unsatisfactory to the most insistent agitators for revision —namely, those whose leading articles of faith is that "protection is robbery." The ten-year feature of the scheme | could not be binding on them, or any body else, if public sentiment should demand another revision in five years. I The present traiff is not quite eight years old. Who can say how long a. new one would last in view of the "irre pressible conflict* between free trade and protection and of the waves of po litical reaction which occasionally and spontaneously sweep over the country? THERE IS A DISTINCTION. Two Terms Which Should Ee Used in Order of Respective Importance. The friends of protection ought to be careful to distinguish between a maxi mum and a minimum tariff and a mini mum and a maximum tariff. It makes a great, deal of difference which word comes first, says the Spring field (Mass.) Union. It is a minimum and maximum tariff we must have if we would remain a protectionist country., A minimum tariff would apply equally to all nations. It would be the declared tariff policy of the country, and in accordance with it manufactur ers would govern their purchases and sales. The maximum duties would be applied only against those countries that discriminated against us. A maximum tariff made to such na tions as showed us the greatest com mercial favors, would result in tariff instability. The manufacturer would never know what the tariff would be f*.x months hence. On the other hand the mistake should not be made of declaring the present Dingley law to be the maximum duties to be added to it. c~7"rhe recent clamor for reciprocity has no deep foundation in public sen timent.
