Mr. Root lias just announced his disinclination for the Presidential chair in very positive terms, and in the dislike of Washington ofllcial life he more than has the support of Mrs. Root, who unlike many women in the cabinet circle has no social ambi tions that she can see a way of gratifying at the Capital. 11 ia said that next to Secretary Root, the President's choiee per sonally would be for Secretary Taft. lie has as good as endorsed the Taft boom, and the fact that the Secretary has refused the Supreme Judgeship, which he might have had at any time in the past year, indicates that he thinks there may be things doing in 1908. There is one thing certain, and that is that the President will come nearer nominating his successor than any other President who has ever held ofiice. Further, he does not care HO much about the man personally as ho does about having someone in office who will follow the line of policy that he has mapped out. It may be that there will be 110 ap parent pressure from the President when tlie time of nomination comes around, but it is accepted by the shrewdest politicians in tiie party tljat it would be impolite if not im possible to nominate a man to Whom *! ir* President was actively oppos" 1.

HOWARD LABOR TO TRY AGAIN T© Secure Passage of Bill Abolish ing the Obnoxious State Constabulary. MEMBERS ARE MUCH ALARMED Are Bound to Make Enemies No Mat ter Which Way They Vote on This Question—McCord Senatorial Nomi nation Bill Sure to Pass. Harrisburg, Pa. —-Encouraged b> the almost successful battle to place tho Garner bill repealing the state police act upon the calendar, the laboi leaders of the house have served no tice that they have only begun theii fight. Tho resolution to place Gar tier's measure upon the calendar was defeated by the small majority of foui votes. Now the labor people say that they propose bringing one of the othet hills repealing the constabulary act out of the committee on military af fairs. There are two such measures before this committee, and the labor people are giving the members of the committee no end of trouble concern ing them. The administration people and others who favor tho state constabu lary hold that the state policemen have been doing good work or there would not be such insistent endeavor to abolish thorn on the part of the labor people. They contend that the repealer would never get through the house, and that if it did the senate certainly would throttle it. It is certain that some of the ment bers who made speeches in support ol the Garner measure did so to please their constituents, or a portion of them, but would hesitate a long time before they would vote for abolishing the state constabulary. Some of these legislators feel better now that they have gotten those speeches out o! their systems but the fear that they may yet have togo on record on this subject is making them very uneasy. Will Stand No Dodging. The labor people say there were enough of their representatives ab sent from the house at the time the vole was taken on tho Garner resolu tion to have passed it had they been present. They at once got to worts upon the members of the military committee to bring out one of the repealers. The labor people have a lot of other hills in committees and they have no tified the respective chairmen of these committees that they will stand for no "monkey business" with these measures. They want them brought out of committees and declare that if they are to be defeated they want them defeated in the open, on the floor of the hall of the house. These bills pertain to child labor, prison work, allowing foreigners to carry firearms, regulating work in bitumin ous coal mines, and a score or more other measures relating directly to the interests of labor. Ho!j' horrors! Legislators went to look into the manner in which cor porations do business. These law makers actually desire to investigate the methods of these soulless concerns. For that is exactly the meaning of a resolution introduced in the house the other day by Jesse F. Bluestone (if Pittsburg. A similar resolution was introduced recently in the Senate by Senator Elliott Rodgers of Allegheny. It provides that a commission be ap pointed to investigate the auditor gen eral's department. The Bluestone measure provides for a commission of two senators and three representa tives with power to examine books and witnesses for the purpose of as certaining if there has been negli gence in the collection of taxes from trust companies, railroads and other corporations. Rodgers Resolution Sleeping. Such authority, if granted, would give everybody a chance to "look in." It would show up some corporations and their method of doing business in a way that would be very objection able to the corporations. And later it might mean that they would be re quired to separate- themselves from a good deal more money annually to the state than they have been doing. The resolution carries with it an appro priation of $5,000 to defray expenses. It has been several weeks since the Rodgers resolution was introduced in the senate. It was promptly put to sleep in committee for il, has never been heard of again. It is rumored that Rodgers inspired the Bluestone resolution, thinking that if the Blue stone resolution could get through the house it would be harder to knock it out or smother it in the senate. This legislature purposes doing kindly things for the old soldiers. A bill has been introduced by Mr. Sny der of Schuylkill exempting soldiers who served in the Civil War from payment of tax upon homesteads and occupation tax except for state and county purposes. The senate passed finally the bill allowing old soldiers pensions of $3 to $lO a month, accord ing to their terms of service. McCord Bill May Pass. Charitable institutions are to> be given closer inspection -hereafter. A bill introduced in the house by Mi'. Kiess of Lycoming provides that the state board of charities shall be authorized to name two assistant gen eral agents who shall examine nil in stitutions receiving state aid and re port their condition to the board of charities. Tho McCord bill to place the selec CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1907. t!on of T'aited States senators in th« hands or the people bids fair to be come a law. It is well advanced or the house calendar and has behind i every member of the elections com mittee, it having been reported on unanimously. There could be no more conclusive evidence that the legisla ture is unbossed if it passes this bill Its passage will eliminate a very bai feature connected with the presen system of electing senators whereii the people have no voice whatever. Under the present method of elect ins senators the legislators, in casting their ballots, are supposed to carrj out the wishes of the constituents, bu temptation comes to the best of met and,unfettered by any form of instruc Hons, they have often gone contrarj to the wishes of the people. Tlu passage of the McCord bill will en tirely eliminate commercial dealing! for senatorial votes. It will likewise put an end to combinations fcrmec for senatorial battles. The presiding officers of both houses and the Repub lican and Democratic floor leaders an all for the bill, and there is scarcelj a question that it will go through. I' it passes there is no doubt that tin governor will sign it. It is a demo cratic measure, pure and simple, anc no reasonable objection can b< brought against it. This method o: selecting United States senators is ir vogue in many states of the Union and is fast growing in popularity. Fun for the Lawmakers. The members of the house had s lot of fun killing the teachers' pen sion bill on second reading. In ap parently good faith and with sobei mien Representative Dunsmore o: Tioga offered an amendment to thf bill providing that not only teachers but all persons who had reached tht age of 70 years and who were gooc and faithful citizens of the common wealth should be made eligible to the pension of $l5O a year which the bil provided. Objection was made to thi? on the ground that a woman couli not be made to acknowledge her ag< after she had passed 60, but the house accepted the amendment amid laugh ter and cheers. The house also adopt ed with a whoop an amendment offered 'by Mr. Marvin of Pike pro vidiug that instead of teaching 3( years, as provided by the bill, teach ers should serve 75 years before be coming eligible for a pension. That tl;e bill and amendments fell. Roads Eill Nearly Killed. The Moore resolution calling for : constitutional amendment to provide for a $25,000,000 bond issue for roac improvement almost lost its life ir committee. The committee took a vote upon it.and decided to report it out negatively. Some members thought that it meant that $25,000,00f was to be paid out of the state treas ury and that this was too mucL money to be spent at one time. Tht fact is they did not know what they were voting for. When Representa tive Moore of Allegheny learned that his bill had been killed he got busy and had the committee reconsider its action. Then the committee decideO to report it out favorably, which was done. There is much likelihood that the bill will become a law. Then the prop osition must have the approval of a majority of the electors of the state and of the next legislature before the; •bonds may bo issued. The advocates, of the measure hold that it is proper and just that posterity should help to pay for road improvement in the state, for the improvement is to tie a permanent one:, and will be enjoyed by future generations. Under the most favorable circumstances it will be several years before the work can begin. Very Busy Session. That this has been the busiest legislature this state ever has had is evident from the activity displayed on every hand. The committee work thus far has been tremendous. Many hearings, both public and private, have been held and more are to come. Several important investigations arc under way and several more are to be undertaken. Formerly there used to be a cessation in the introduction of new bills after the session had been a few weeks old, but, not so this time. New bills keep pouring in daily. The committee on rules has not even considered the question of fixing a time when the introduction of new bills must cease. Nor has the com mittee deemed it wise to consider a time for final adjournment. The fact is there is enough business in hand and in prospect to keep th" members engaged until June or July even by holding two sessions daily. There are certain members of tli< legislature who have taken a grey; liking to their work. They will make a fight against adjournment nei matter when the date is fixeel. They enjoy making laws and they would rather hear themselves making speeches in the senate and house chambers than anything else. Talk of Penitentiary. The legislative inquiry, into the eapitol building has begun at last. Members of the investigating eommit tee have a Kreat quantity of evidence collected and seme big sensations are promised. In brief, if the probers are able to prove what they have set out to do they will land several gentlemen high up in the social and commercial world in the penitentiary by the time fiiey get through with the inquiry. The bill which passed the senate appropriating $1,600,000 for the eapi tol park extension may also pass the house, but the governor likely will veto it. As matters stand now this legislature will appropriate for vari ous purposes for the two years about $18,000,000 more tlran was ap propriated at the session of 1905. TUX O. RARTON.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once sent two poetical letters to the "postoflice" of an Episcopal fair at rittsfield, Mass. In 0110 of them the first stanza was: Fair lady, whosoever thou art. Turn tills poor leaf with tenderest care And hush, oh, hush, thy beating heart. The one thou lovest will be there. j On turning the "poor leaf" there was ! found a dollar hill, with some verses j beginning: Fair lady, lift thino eyes and tell If this is not a truthful letter. This is the one (1) thou loveth well. And naught (0) can make tlieo love it better (10). Occultism.

The small boys, too, bad a way »112 making a grab for a banana or two. By the time the bunch was on duty under the awning for an hour it was no longer presentable to the aesthetic sense.

A Meal of Locusts. In the West Indies the negroes eat freely of the big grub found in palm trees. The fat, white morsel, which they call "grugru," is not cooked or salted. The aborigines of Australia live almost entirely 011 a butterfly known as the bugong. The flies ap pear in batches 011 the rocks, and the natives smother them with smoke from fires built below. It is said that a Hot tentot, with an appetite made sharp by the simple life, can devour 300 fat locusts at a sitting and feel bettor sat isfied than if he had paid -SS for a ten course dinner. The Arabs dry the lo custs and pulverize them into flour for breadmaldng purposes. The Moors make a stew of them, and after boiling in water for a few minutes they are eaten with salt, pepper* and vinegar. The locusts found in Central Africa are enormous, and the native negroes cut them in two and fry them in fat and find them not only appetizing, but nourishing. A flight of those big lo custs is a matter of tribal thanksgiv ing. Snakes With Two Heads. I have lately been assured by more than one of my friends that they have seen in northern India snakes with two heads—i. e., without a tail, but with a second and perfectly formed head in the place where the tail ought to bo. They assure me that tbere are speci mens in northern India museums and that these freaks of nature are i're quently found by the natives. The rid er is added that the natives declare that each bead lives and performs ac tive service for six months in the year in turn. The snakes are said to grow to about three feet in length. I my self have killed a small snake with two heads, but these were both at the same end of the reptile, a very differ ent matter, which is, I believe, a well known freak and in the same category with two beaded calves.—Pioneer. \ Mar> and His Dress. The well dressed man wears clothes that 110 one ever notices; at business, except in the very warmest weather, usually dark. No one ever notices clean linen, while linen soiled ever so slightly is very conspicuous. No one ever notices a hat unless it is of, ultra shape, dirty or shabby. No one ever notices shoes unless they are loud or need blacking or are run down at the heels or shabby. No one ever notices clean finger nails, while those needing attention are always conspicuous. The man should not be lost sight of by the eonspieuousness of his clothes, either from being overdressed or shabbily dressed. —Batten's Wedge. Latest Popular Music.
