Don't Blame the Teachers.
Occasionally, we meet people who
complain of the manner in which our
schools are managed. They lament
that their children are compelled to
study too much and, as a consequence
their health has become impaired.
Then too, they complain of the ineffic
iency of the teachers, claiming that
the time spent in school is wasted, ow
ing to the indifference of the teachers,
as to the welfare oi their pupils.
The trouble with such parents is that
they do not look at this matter from
the proper viewpoint. The number of
children, who have ever suffered from
too much study, is very small. Sys
tematic study, under proper environ
ments, will not injure any one. But
the cause of all the troubles lies at the
doors of those parents themselves, who
are the most zealous in imputing it to
others. Children of both sexes, not
more than 11 years of age and often
younger, are frequently seen on our
streets, as late as ten and eleven o'clock
at night, where they have probably
gone immediately after supper; and
there they can be found, unaccompani
ed by any guardian to warn, them
against the snares and pitfalls which
always lie in the pathway of the young
aud inexperienced, especially in these
days of fast living.
Parents who allow their children to
go regularly to dancing parties, two
and three times a week, and permit
them to remain there, unchaperoned
until midnight and later, should be
thankful, if only ignorance, instead of
infamy and disgrace, be their daught
er's heritage. Late hours and insuffi
cient rest unfit any child for useful
study and, when those conditions pre
vail, to the illiteracy of the child must
bo added the crime of the parents.
If parents would keep their children
ruder their own supervision after
nightfall; give them wholesome food;
regular hours for study out of school,
and regular hours for sleep in well
ventilated rooms, the responsibility for
i.rjured health and ignorant minds,
would not be charged to over-study
and inefficient teachers.
Advertising an Art.
Advertising has indeed become an
art. It remains for it to become, if
not a tine art, at least an art that calls
beauty to its service. When it does,
i-.uch of the energy that is now mis
directed,' m\teh of the money that is
now prodigally wasted in destroying
the world's beauty, will bo saved.
The right procedure is indicated by
the most conspicuous medium for pnb
l.c advertising. The press, in its
daily, weekly or monthly forms, offers
altogether the best means for calling
public attention of all sorts of things.
The best of pubile journals—those
which are recognized as the most de
sirable mediums for advertising, and
which consequently obtain the highest
j.rices for their services—make it a
rule to classify and restrict in a judi
cious manner the advertisements that
they print. They confine them to cer
tain parts of the publication, they
restrict their display to certain de
corous styles of type, recognizing that
to admit a helter-skelter distribution
through all columns, or to display
them in incoherent fashion according
to the whims of the advertisers,
would largely destroy the very objects
1 eld in view. The readers of these
journals would resent the intrusion of
advertising matter into the space set
apart for news, editorials, etc., and
the influence that gives the advertis
ing its value would decline.
In the same way, the forms of ad
vertising that now give exceeding of
fense to the commnnity ought to be
restricted and kept within proper
limits. If this were effected, the prac
t:ee would change from the public
nuisance that it now is to a function
that, in a considerable degree, might
-jouple genuine service to the public
with a presentation of its material in
an interesting and black border all
around it.—Harper's Magazine.
HAS HARO SLEDDING
Trolley Freight Bill Disfigured in
Its Passage Through
Lower House.
WILL VASTLY BENEFIT PEOPLE
Astonishment Expressed That Rail
roads Have Allowed It to Progress
So Far Toward Final Passage—
Creasy's Amendment Voted Down.
Harrisburg, Pa.—Just what will
happen to the trolley freight bill be
fore it goes to the governor for his
signature is problematical. It cer
tainly had a roiky roail of it in the
house, and the senate may alter it
somewhat before it is passed by that,
body. In fact the wonder is that the
railroad companies ever allowed it to
get out of committee.
There is no bill pending in the
legislature today that will hurt the
railroads more, eventually, than this
trolley freight bill. Incidentally it
will be a mighty good thing for the
people. ~But the railroad companies
are not paying much attention to the
measure, strange as it may seem.
They have enough business to keep
them going now and to spare. But
if there is over a cessation in busi
ness the railroad companies will have
togo gunning after freight for their
roads. The state is pretty well
gridironcd with traction lines, and if
the trolley companies are permitted
to carry freight they will do a tre
mendous business right from the
start.
Great Benefit to Farmers.
That the new law will stimulate
business of every kind is generally
conceded and for the time being at.
least there will lie enough w go
around and to satisfy both the steam
railroads and tracticn linos. The
great advantage this freight carrying
privilege will he 10 farmers can
scarcely lie estimated. They will be
allowed to send their farm products
to market by trolley, and will not be
altogether subject to the condition of
the wagon roads when bad weather
sets in.
Since the introduction of this bill
the members of the legislature have
■been recipients of hundreds, probably
thousands, of letters from the' farmers
throughout the state, asking for the
passage of the bill. That it is cer
tain togo through no one doubts. It
is a part of the platforms of the Re
publican and Democratic parties, and
110 party man would dare oppose the
passage of the bill unless under the
pretext that it was not. in the proper
shape for passage.
Creasy's Good Argument.
"Farmer" William T. Creasy of Co
lumbia made a good argument in sup
port of an amendment he offered
when the bill was on second reading
in the house, when he wanted trolley
companies to be "compelled" instead
of "allowed" to carry freight. He as
serted that unless this was inserted
in the bill its main purp se would be
defeated. 11 is amendment was de
feated.
The railroad commission bill was
reported from committee to the house
amended so as to make the secretary
of interal affairs an ex-ofliicio member
of the commission. This bill will go
through because, like the trolley
freight bill, it was made an issue in
the last campaign, and both parties
promised to support it.
The railroad committee also report
ed favorably the Williams hill requir
ing railroads to file with the secretary
of internal affairs an exact report of
their mileage under penalty of $5,000
fine. If this bill is passed it will put
a quietus upon the bill appropriating
SIOO,OOO for a state survey of the
railroads. H. I. Riley of Allegheny,
who introduced the measure, wanted
to have it amended so that the
amount appropriated should be $15,-
000 instead of SIOO,OOO, but the house
postponed action which, practically
speaking, means that his bill is dead.
Measure Looks Suspicious.
Legislators from the country dis
tricts, particularly from the boroughs
and smaller cities, are looking with
alarm upon the Fahey trolley bill. It
is designed to help Philadelphia, but
its provisions apply to every trolley
company in the state. It: permits a
trolley company to "square accounts"
with a municipality, 110 matter under
what conditions the franchise was ob
tained. For example, it is held, that
if a trolley company agrees to pay
a certain tax to a borough in return
for its franchise the borough council
may afterward make a deal with the
company sitting aside the terms of
agreement. Some of the country
members agreed to support bill pro
vided it were made to apply only to
Philadelphia. Friends of the bill
argued that this would make it un
constitutional. The Fahey bill was
defeated in the hous«, but afterward
reconsidered and placed upon the cal
endar for postponed bills.
Seek Editor's Undoing.
A "crazy horse" bill was introduced
in the house by Representative Joe
Call of Philadelphia. The measure re
cites that witli the "press muzzier"
repealed there Is "no adequate re
dress by law for those defamed by the
publication of libels and slanders."
The bill then provides "that the de
fendant in any suit for assault and
battery or aggravated assault and
battery shall ' acquitted if he prove
that the p rsou {!!• persons upon
whom tbe 11 iauli was committed
wrote or published within one year
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907.
previous to the assault, any false or
defamatory matter concerning tho
defendant, or any parent, child, sis
ter, wife or fiancee of the defendant.
Similar acquittal shall be the result
if the assaulter prove that the per
son assaulted was the proprietor,
owner, publisher, manaßer or editor
of any newspaper in which such ar
ticle appeared."
The provisions of the bill extend
to civil actions for damages arising
out of a case of assault and battery.
If the person who committed the as
sault proves the facts concerning the
publication the one assaulted can get
no damages. If, however, the cir
cumstances should not be such as to
relieve the assaulter from all lia
bility and he prove that the ex
penses incurred by him in defending
the suit are greater than the
amount of damages due the person
assaulted a verdict shall be rendered
for the defendant for such excess.
New Popular Vote Bill.
The committee on elections i«
struggling with a new bill permittlir;
voters to express their choice of can
didates for United States senator. It.
was introduced in the house by Repre
sentative Gabriel H. Moyer of Le
banon, and is far more sweeping than
the one now 011 the calendar. The
Moyer bill makes provision for in
forming the legislators of the desires
of the people. This was not incor
porated in the bill on the calendar. It
provides that on petition of 500 voters
filed with the secretary of the com
monwealth 12 weeks before the date
of the primary election the secretary
of the commonwealth shall notify Ihe
county commissioners within three
weeks to take the necessary steps to
place upon the primary ballot the
name of the candidate for whom the
500 have petitioned.
A member of the state police force
is liable to a fine of SIOO and impris
onment of six months if he deserts,
according to the provisions of a bill
introduced by Mr. Moyer of Lebanon
Governor Meets Obstacle.
■The state police force, it seems, has
come to stay, notwithstanding Repre
sentative Garner's threat that he
would make another attempt to have
his bill repealing the state constabu
lary law placed upon the. calendar.
The bill was defeated in committee
and Mr. Garner tried to have it placed
upon the calendar and failed. He had
expected to make another attempt in
this direction, but a ruling of Speaker
McClain on a motion of the kind made
on another .>i 11 will prevent Mr. Gar
ner from being heard. The speaker
ruled that a second attempt to place
a bill upon the calendar was out of
order.
Hills passed by both houses during
the past few days and sent to the gov
ernor for his signature include the fol
lowing:
Bills Approved by Governor.
To increase the salary of the super
intendent of public instruction from
SI,OOO to SO,OOO and of the deputies
from $1,900 to $11,000; validating sales
of real estate upon writs of levari
facias awarded upon judgments ob
tained upon writs of scire facias or
mortgage issued subsequent to the
passage of the act of July !», 1001;
providing for n cording and register
ing deeds: granting an annuity of
$l2O to Deborah K. Greenchild, whose
husband was. a soldier in the war of
1812, and who is not entitled to a
federal pension; amending the whole
sale liquor license act of 1597 by
changine; the time when county treas
urers shall pay all license funds to
the state and municipal treasurers.
The governor has vetoed but one bill
thus far. It was one of the two new
court bills for Allegheny county. He
signed the other one.
Distribution of School Funds.
The bill introduced by Representa
tive Habgood of MclCean, providing
for a new method for the distribution
of the school appropriation, has been
reported from the house committee on
education with an affirmative recom
mendation.
Under this bill hereafter one-fourth
of the amount is to be distributed on
the basis of the number of chlldi-en
between 0 and 10 years of age; one
fourth on the basis of paid teachers
regularly employed, and the remain
ing one-half on the basis of the com
parative rate of valuation and tax
levy. The purpose of this bill is to
favor districts which assess property
at its full value. Under the proposed
appropriation of 1H millions the rate
per pupil will be $4.89.
Adjournment Not in Sight.
There is no telling when the legis
lature .will adjourn finally. Roth
houses have agreed that no bills shall
be Introduced after March 27. How
ever, bills may be introduced by unan
imous consent at any time notwith
standing the rule, and more bills may
be presented after the date set. In
fact, some of the investigating com
mittees will have bills to present after
they have completed their work. The
consequence is no one can tell when
final adjournment will take place.
The commission appointed to inves
tigate the capitol building is doing ex
cellent work. The members of the
commission asked the gowrnnr to ap
prove a 1)111 appropriating SIOO,OOO
Tor expenses connected with their
work, and he readily consented to do
so. Accordingly a bill was introduce !
for that purpose. This will include
the SIO,OOO already advanced to the
commission.
Even though the commission should
spend the entire appropriation It will
be money well invested for the com
missioners already have In sight more
than $200,000 which they expect to
save the state in addition to the $27,-
000 they have collected from the liar
risburg Trust Co. There will be
something doing again this week.
