Lambert says he traveiea through France in an automobile at the rate of 60 miles an hour between sfqps, there being no speed limit in that country. Yet some people won der why the population of France is decreasing. The engineer of a Louisville & Nashville train asked, not long ago, to be excused from work for the re mainder of the month because of a dream which he had had several nights In succession. Three or four days later the train was wrecked, and the engineer's substitute was killed. According to the official figures pre pared by the San Francisco depart ment of health, 452 persons lost their lives as a result of the earthquake and the fire which followed it. More than one-half of the deaths were caused by fire, seven pe;aons were shot by the police or soldiers, and two died from the effect of poisonous food dealt out to the hungry. The. first reports which came from the stricken city, that thousands had been killed, were exaggerated, as is commonly the case in! such calamities. In these days, when families are moving from one place to another in the hope of bettering themselves, it is interesting to read of an aged woman who died in a New England town in the same house and in the same room in which she was born. For the better part of a century she had been active in the kindly Christian work of the vil lage, and had come to be looked upon as one of its institutions. Families which have an old homestead that has been in the family for generation after generation have a possession worth more than dollars and cents, as every member of an itinerant family will testify. The Japanese in the late war evi dently had some question as to the value of too free surgical help. The Postgraduate states that a most inter esting and far-reaching experience on a -large scale was performed at the battlefield of Mukden. Several sani tary officers with good surgical train ing being present, out of 100 soldiers wounded in the abdomen 50 were op erated upon by laparotomy, the 50 others left alone, the only treatment consisting in absolute rest and in keeping the external wound opening clean. Of the 50 soldiers operated upon 40 died, of the non-operated 40 survived. This striking result indi cated the manner of treatment of ab dominal wounds throughout the war. Father Wrnz (whose name should be pronounced Verniz), the newly elected general of the Jesuit order, was born in Wurtemberg in 1842, and is the second Jesuit general of Ger man nationality. The first was Father Nicke, chosen for the office in the eigh teenth century. Wrnz left Germany when the Jesuits were expelled, and has for the last five-and-twenty years taught canon law at the Gregorian uni versity at Rome. Most of the generals of the order have been Italians. The Italian candidate has been preferred at no fewer than II elections. Spain has contributed five generals, Belgium two, and Poland, Switzerland, Bohe mia and Holland one each; but there has never been a general of French nationality. The voters on this occas ion were 75 in number ,and 71 votes ■were cast for Father Wrnz. • A popular hostess declares that, to her mind, the most welcome guest at a ball is the man who not only will ask for dances with ladies who are neglect ed by other partners, but who "has the tact to do this in a manner that does not painfully suggest knowledge of the existence of 'wall-flowers.' " In Germany nearly every girl, to have a chance of marrying, must pos sess a dowry. Not a few parents, when a daughter is born, pay an an nual premium that entitles the girl to a sum of money on attaining the age of 21. The advocates of coloring matter in foodstuffs claim that the public de mands it. The book publishers and theaters can testify that the public demands many things that are not good for it. Cheer up, everybody! A New York judge lias granted an injunction against a song sung in one of the the aters. Relief is in sight. The Germans have been adulterat ing snuff with ground glass, thus af fording the user all the panes he wants. TRUSTS UNIVERSAL IN EUROPE A 8 WELL AS IN THE UNITED STATES. Remove the Tariff on Trust Products and the Leading American Trusts Would Supply the American Market from Their Manufactories Abroad. Nearly every great American manu facturing trust has branches and fac tories in foreign countries. The tariff | rippers may not have considered this fact. If the duty were removed from all trust-made goods, as suggested by Gov. Cummins at Minneapolis four years ago, and by William J. Bryan a few days ago, the result would be the closing of the American factories oper ated by the trusts and the enlarge ment of their own foreign factories. And the goods for the American mar ket being then duty free, would be manufactured by the American trusts In their factories where labor is cheap er. The American people would sim ply have their big mills and factories closed and thousands of Americans thrown out of employment, and the trusts would be in the saddle, making barrels of money in their factories operated by cheap labor in other lands. Sometimes we think many people re fuse to consider these tariff proposi tions as relating to business and only consider them as relating to politics. The protective tariff is for the pur pose of enabling Americans to do their own work and supply their own wants. The politicians who talk in favor of tariff changes "to meet changed condi tions" evidently do not fully know i what they are talking about. The only ; "changed condition" which could ju3- ] tify tariff reduction would be the in crease of wages abroad to correspond | ■with American wages, and that has not 1 been done. If American workingmen were called upon to compete with their : equals, in skill and compensation, they would not con)plain, but tearing down the tariff wall would put them in com petition with men in other lands who work for 16 to 18 cents per day, and the American worklngman is not pre-, pared to thus compete. He is no better prepared now than he was in 1897, ! when the Dingley tariff was enacted. There has been a slight Increase in wages in England, but there has been no increase in Germany, France, Ja pan, China, India or any other coun try. We are sometimes tempted to believe that the talk about "lower tar iffs" is a blow at American institutions and an attempt to reduce prices to the American "consumer," on the pre text of helping the "consumer" in 1 what he buys without hurting him in ; what he sells. ' As we have often said, j the tariff was Invented to make and . keep America prosperous. That end : is now accomplished. Then why des troy or even partially destroy the tar iff? As Mark Hanna said. "Why not let well enough alone? Why not stand pat?" Why not tell the politicians and office seekers they can have the of- ! flees if they will keep their mouths shut on this great business question? —Des Moines Capital. Canada's Free Trade Farmers. The farmers of Canada have yet tc learn the rudimentary facts relating to the policy of protection to domestic labor and industry. In recent session ; at Toronto, the Farmers' association ol i Ontario discussed the revision of the | Canadian tariff that is to be made next winter. The discussion resulted in the unanimous adoption of a resolution, declaring "protectionism to be a proli fic source of political corruption and moral degradation of the national life, j as well as unjust to the great masses ■ of the Canadian people," and demand ing that "the tariff should be revised | in a lowered or downward direction with a view to eliminating wholly the protection principle." "Clear-cut, plucky talk," the Buffalo Courier calls this. That is what it would be called by Mr. Bryan, who is tremendously oppressed with a sense j of the immorality of protection. Fool-1 Ish talk we should call it. The Ameri- j can farmer sees nothing immoral in getting big prices for the foodstuffs and j raw materials which he sells to near by wage earners and busy factories, j The Canadian farmer, blind to these | advantages, and forced to sell his products 3,000 miles away, would abol- j lsh protection and stamp out Cana- ] dian industry. Some day he will | learn his mistake. He will discover j that his best customers are home j wage-earners and home-feeders, who consume of farm products fully double the amount per capita that foreign wage-earners are able to take and pay for. Control of Monopolies. The indications are that the people of the United Slates will give more at tention and study to the solution of the trust and monopoly problem dur ing the next two years than they have given to any other subject, save the money question, since the time ol slavery. It is a common thing to ap proach this subject through the dis cussion of the tariff, which is said by some to be the mother of the trusts. Time and again it has been pointed out that, while a removal or decided lowering of the tariff might destroy some of the trusts and injure some of the monopolies, the chances are that in the business wreck that would fol low and the disasters of the hard times that would bo produced by such a decided change of policy the smaller business interests of tho country would be the greatest sufferers. The trouble with attempting to cure the trust evil by such an indirect method is that it not only does damage to tho trusts, but hits other interests as well --Davenport Times. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER I, 1906. HARM IN TARIFF CHANGES. Experience Has Proved It Meana Busi ness Demoralization. As Mr. Roosevelt seems to recognise distinctly in his letter to Congressman Watson, tariff revision is not a simple question of readjusting this or that particular rate or schedule, as econom ic conditions change. Nobody would oppose this or that reasonable and harmless readjustment if it. could be attained without exciting universal and disastrous perturbation. Unfor tunately, hitherto in the history of tariff emendation it has proved im practicable to enact two or three amendments agreed upon beforehand without consenting to innumerable others, some, possibly, innocuous, many mischievous in a high degree. That is why the prospect of any tariff revision inevitably unsettles prices, alarms capital, postpones contracts and paralyzes production. It is the limit less uncertainty that stops the wheels of business. It is, of course, possible in theory to conceive of a tariff revis ion strictly confined to two or three items which might have no dislocat ing influence on the nation's industrial machinery. If, for instance, it were practicable for the president to an nounce that, in his opinion, two or three changes in the Dingley tariff should be made, but that if a bill to that effect should contain any other changes than those specified It would be vetoed by hlin, not a ripple would be witnessed on the smooth current of the national prosperity. Such a dicta torial announcement, however, would bo resented bitterly by the federal legislature, and in practice, therefore, might be out of tho question. We in fer that, as things are new, and so long cs our prosperity endures, Presi dent Roosevelt 13 a stand-patter.— Harper's Weekly. BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. 1 x " f'' / ' Republican Party and the Farmer. In 1862 Lincoln signed a free homes bill which has added millions to the west's farming population. In 1902 Roosevelt put his signature to a na tional irrigation act which will place other millions of farmers in the new empire which it will create in the arid region. Ily its protective tariff acts the Republican party has put the Unit ed States in the lead of all the nations in the extent and variety of its indus trial activities, and has created a home market which has advanced the price of everything that the farmer has to sell, has increased the value of his land and all other sorts of property belonging to him, has reduced the cost of the things which the farmer has to buy, and has made an addition to his comforts and to his general prosperity and social influence undreamed of in the years preceding the foundation of the Republican party. In the Republican scheme in which the nation has been developed there has been no forgotten man, white, black, red or brown, low or high, and there has been no neglected calling. In a direct and emphatic degree the American farmer has reason to be grateful for the work which has been done for him by the Republican party. —Leslie's Weekly. Straight Protectionism. "We are opposed to any change whatever which would undermine tho cardinal principle of the Republican party—protection to American manu factures and labor."—From the plat form of the New Hampshire Republi cans, adopted instate convention at Concowl, September 18, 1906. Straightforward and simple. All protectionists can unite on it. When protectionists unite success is assured. It is only when they quarrel among themselves that defeat is possible. Two days later the following was adopted by the Connecticut Republi can state convention at New Haven: "We stand unequivocally for a pro tective tariff, and we feel that the phe nomenal industrial prosperity which we are now enjoying is not to be lightly jeopardized, for it would be to the last degree foolish to secure here and there a small benefit at the cost of general business depression." Equally straightforward and simple; equally sound and sensible. In neither of these tariff planks can be found any evidence of what Judge Taft in his Hath speech said he had discovered —• "a growing sentiment" in favor of tar iff disturbance and business instabi)' ity. Must Show Need of Change. It would, of course, be too' sweeping to say that tariffs cannot anil never dc affect trusts. No protectionist avers that a schedule can never be unwisely high. What they do claim is that tho noise made by howling free traders i.» no evidence that a tariff needs revis ing. We have never had a Republican congress that would not revise the tar iff if accurate information and impar tial investigation showed that it waa needed.—Lebanon (N. H.) Free Press. SEVENKILLED As the Result of an Ex plosion in a Mine. JOHNSTOWN, PA., Was the Scene of the Accident —All but One of the Victims are Foreigners. Johnstown, Pa. —By an explosion in the mine of the Cambria Steel Co. here Wednesday seven men are reported to be dead and two pain fully but not fatally burned. The ex plosion is thought to have been caused by the ignition of gas in set ting off a blast. Most of the victims are foreigners. The explosion oc curred in a heading three miles from the mouth of the mine shaft. Eigh teen men are reported imprisoned in the heading, but no mention is made of this in an official statement given to the press by the manager of the Cambria Steel Co. The statement says: "By an explosion in the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel Co. Wednesday evening, seven men are dead and two are painfully but not fatally injured. Up to the present time only one of the dead has been identi fied. He is an American named Samp son Luther. It is believed all tho others are foreigners. "The explosion took place in head ing No. 29, a considerable distance from the ill-fated Klondike section, where 114 men lost their lives over four years ago. The exact cause is not known, but It Is supposed that the gas was fired by the pulling off of a blast. All the men when found had their safety lamps in proper trira, showing that the accident could not have been caused by neglect in that direction. No damage was done to the workings and the mine will be running Thursday as usual." "FLYER" WAS WRECKED. Five Trainmen Injured—Locomotive Slid Down an Embankment Into the Ohio River. Pittsburg, Pa., — Running at a I speed estimated at 50 miles ah hour, the fast train between Cleveland and Pittsburg on tho Fort Wayne road, known as the "Cleveland Flyer," was sideswiped by the caboose of a freight train near Bellevue statioa, shortly after noon Wednesday, five trainmen being injured in the wreck, all of whom will recover. A score of passengers were cut by flying glass, but none were seriously hurt. They were brought to this city on a wreck train that reached the ; scene 18 minutes after the accident and proceeded 011 their journey. Their wounds were dressed by physicians that had been sent out from this city. The collision with the caboose threw the engine down an embank ment 30 feet high and it slid into the Ohio river. The baggage car and two ; passenger coaches were thrown across the rails. The destruction of the former was complete, but none of the passenger cars were damaged be yond the breaking of windows. ENGINES WERE DEMOLISHED. Two Men Killed in a Collision on the Big Four Railroad. Kenton, O. A freight wreck occurred on the Big Four here Wednesday afternoon in which two men were instantly killed. A north bound train with two engines crashed into a cut of cars being shifted on the main track by the switch engine. The freight engines and six cars were de railed and the engines completely de molished. One fireman and a brake man were caught under the wreckage and killed. The engineer of the switch engine saw the freight coming and reversed his engine and jumped. The engine started in the opposite direction so suddenly that it broke loose from the tender and got away before the crash came. It ran wild down the track un der a full head of steam to Grant Sta tion, five miles away, where it was ditched by section hands who had been warned by telegraph. An Expensive Undertaking. Imperial, Cal.—-On Wednesday the water of the Colorado river was turned back into the old channel leading to the Gulf of California, the first water of the Colorado river that has flowed there for two years. Six years ago that portion of the desert known as Imperial valley was coloniz ed and water was brought in from th« Colorado river for irrigation. Two years ago the river broke through its bank and flowed in the Salton sink, compelling the Southern Pacific rail road to remove its tracks several times. The company then undertook to turn the water to its old channel, and has at last succeeded, at a cost of $1,000,000. Ex-Terrorists Act as Detectives. Warsaw. Wholesale arrests and domiciliary searches con tinue in this city. Tho police, aided by troops, are vigorously running down all information obtained from former Terrorists who are now serv ing the government as detectives. The situation is growing more serious. A Lynching in Mississippi. New Orleans, La. —Tom Cromp ton, a negro, was lynched near Cen tervilie. Miss, Wednesday. It is al leged that he confessed (o the murder of Ely Whitaker, a farmer. EXPLAINED. Amongst the guests at a certain sea aide boardinghouse was a young man with a countenance so gloomy that he excited the interest of an amiable and chatty old lady, who made an effort to draw him into conversation. "It's a lovely day," she commenced. "Yes, wretched," replied the melan choly man, absently. Somewhat perplexed, the lady in- quired how he liked the place. "The worst I ever visited," was the unpromising rejoinder. | "But there are som£ very nice peo ple here." "Are there? I haven't met any." It was not encouraging, but the old lady was persistent, and deftly chang ing the subject inquired his views on the political situation. "I think," he said, gloomily, "we shall have either a war or a revolu tion. And,"he added ominously, "the sooner the better." After that the good old soul gave it up, and sought an opportunity of taking counsel with the landlady on 1 the state of his mind. The landlady smiled reassuringly. "Did you notice the young lady in ! pink who sits opposite to him at meals? Well, that's his sweetheart." j "Indeed; but they never speak to | each other." "That's just it; they quarrelled the I first day they came here, and they haven't made it up yet." SWELLS. ~l \f / \^ r " She (sentimentally)— How like life are the waves of the sea! I He—Yes.
