"Oh. no," he replied. "He will listen to the patients, look sympa thetic, and report to me in the fewest possible words. A sick woman has to talk just sn much, and 1 haven't time to listen." The minister, the lawyer and (he teacher might follow the doc tor's example, and employ a listening 'double" to their great relief, remarks the Youth's Companion. In fact, it may usually be found that the most helpful person in the town is the one who can listen best lo l K e complaints .uid perplexities of the women-folk. Self-expression is as necessary for the welfare ct most women as food and irink. The very talkative woman has a silent husband—not simply because she does not give him time to speak, but because she was attracted to him In the first place by his genius for listening. However, there may be something more than mere sell-Indul gence in the habit of "talking things out" wltli some appreciative listener. The wisest of women know that they get light on their own perplexities by the art of putting them into words. A mother is often her own best adviser as to the training of he; child, when she has once formulated his needs. The remedy for the fault appears when the fault is fairly describ d. So the recourse to the listening ear is not to be entirely decried. It is only when continual talk breaks down the proper barriers of reserve that the lalking woman becomes a nuisance to tic .- friends and a menace to her fam ily. ii is pitiful to see (he condition of silent misery to which a family is reduced when one woman i:i it is a chronic chatterer. "What were your father's last words?" askc <1 a sympa thetic neighbor of a little boy just ber. aved. "lie didn't have any," gravely replied The child. Mother was with him all the time!" Small hoys will no doubt continue tz. eat green fruit wiih no divrimina tion as to kind or quantity Oi manner of consumption. Forth 1 benefit of less adventuresome adults, the depart ment of agriculture informs us that adequate mastication will prevent dis astrous results from eating unripe truit, and that the danger is less than Is commonly supposed, especially from gooseberries, plums, apples and peats. This is in accord with the as sertion of the poet that it was a little green peach that made the trouble. On ripe consideration, the Youth's Companion feels constrained to ad vise everybody of whatever age to es chew all green fruit —eschew it 32 times. Great Britain's employes' compensa tion act has gone into effect, and there is some doubt as to whether its effects will be good or bad. Broadly It provides that an employe incapaci tated by accident shall receive 50 per cent, of his usual wages while in capacitated, but not to exceed live dollars per week. For death the com pensation is $750 to $1,500. It is urged by some that it will prevent the employment of persons whom age or partial infirmity make especially lia ble to accident, but that remains to be seen. Many employers are taking out insurance, which companies are issu ing against loss under the law. "Psychic epilepsy" has succeeded brain storm as a medical term. A New York physician has .just been cleared of the charge of brutally assaulting a man and woman on the street on the plea that he had been subject to at tacks of psychic epilepsy from child hood, an that monarchies are ungrateful. 1!' ' ever a monarch fairly slopped over I with gratitude, and not without abun i dant cause, that monarch is the Ger j man kaiser at the present time. That Useful Tariff Cudgel. Speaking of tlie discovery by the ! Plate department of the forgotten law of ISOO, authoiiziug the prohibition of , imports from any country which un ! justly discriminates against the prod j nets of the United States, the New York Evening Post remarks: "A useful tariff cudgel is what the j experts term it. So it is useful, in I the sense that a club in the hands of | a policeman or the puller-in of a Bowery clothing store might be. As I between gentlemen, weapons of this | kind are not in fashion, and though I nations may not always behave like | gentlemen, in the long run the armed j bully is neither popular nor always i successful in obtaining what In.- | wants." If the writer of this curious com s ment was about to be held up in a 1 dark alley he would be mighty glad lo j remember that he had with him a j useful cudgel, and he would not hesi i tate to use it. He would not regard it : ps an affair "between gentlemen." ; Well, the L'nitcd States luis been held up. Unfortunately oar gifted state ! department and our acquiescent treas j ury department forgot all about the 1 useful cudgel of 1890, and allowed j the Teutonic sandbagger togo through j t i r m without resistance on their part. ! Another sandbagger. this one on the v.v.stern bank of the Rhine, threatens ; another hold-up. lie, too, flourishes I threateningly the maximum tariff j sandbag. Will he, 100, be allowed to got away with the hold-up? Or will the useful cudgel of ISOO be brought into action? Characteristic. In his recent speech before the Pittsburgh chamber of commerce Gov. Cummins said: "I ant for tariff revision and for tariff reduction as a measure of jus tice to the buyers of protected com modities. It seems to me that we have gone mad in our zeal for the seller and have abandoned the buyer to the tender mercies of monopoly, combination and greed." Consideration for the consumer and justice for the buyer is orthodox free trade doctrine. The trouble with free traders is that they fail to remember that in our country 99 per cent, of the consumers are also producers and 99 per cent, of the buyers are also sell ers. With labor scarce, wages high, savings banks deposits increasing at a tremendous rate, and the per capita wealth of the country mounting stead ily upward year by year, it seems non sensical to be spouting about the abandonment of the buyer to the ten der mercies of monopoly, combina tion and greed; that is, it seems non sensical for the Republican governor of a great Republican state to be lal k ing that way in such a hive of indus try and production as Pittsburg. Singular to relate, the man who talks this free trade stuff is by some peo ple still recognized as a Republican [ £ml a protectionist! CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1907. COULD NOT FACE THE FACTS. | Agitators for Tariff Revision Are j Heavily Handicapped. The country has seemingly so much to do and is so prosperous that the tariff question has been lost sight of. In some of the western states and in Massachusetts political agitators have worked during the past six years to stir the people to a frenzied demand for the lowering of import duties. Their work appeared to be prompted by political ambitions, but tariff tip ping would not stand the debate. Hence the men who made such a howl about the tariff for a time have turned their attention to other tilings. They could not face the facts of a com mere; growing at home and abroad. No cause ran bo maintained before tiro American people for any consid eiable time unless it is a just cause. Hence the death of the anti-tariff agi tation. In lowa, where the so-called ! "lowa idea" was born, there is no- I body at the present time advocating the lowering of duties; they are even silent on the reciprocity question. Reciprocity Is a species of false pre tense. In practice it means robbing and betraying one line of industry for the benefit of another. Reciprocity in one I locality mt ana a trade for the benefit ot that particular locality, regardless j of whose industry is destroyed. For a time reciprocity was popular, but when ■ the reciprocity of Massachusetts, ! which sought, to trade off the farmer, met the reciprocity of lowa, which j sought to trade off the manufacturer, ! there w;n surprise on both sides. And ; both sides concluded they had better j quit- The tariff for the present is a j dead issue. The national Republican convention, next year will declare un- I equivocally for protection without J apology; will also declare for reci procity in non-competitive articles only.—Des Moines Capital. HOW UNCLE SAM WAS TIED UP. u. jyiv (i ■( f|J |*n : •' '• " \'-V IA I\\ *' . i Fsy\j President Fallieres —Tell me, my dear friend, how you managed it.' Kaiser Wilhelm —II was very easy; much easier than 1 had dared to be lieve. 1 told him that German export ers were scrupulously honest in the matter of valuations, and also intense ly philanthropical iu their regard for American interests, and that it was ' the study of their lives how best to promote the labor and industry of his country. He swallowed it all." —| Exit incident and emperor laughing hi lariously.] Going It Blind. 1 With impressive unanimity the fre -1 trade newspapers are directing atten tion to the tariff revision resolution adopted hy the National Association 1 of Manufacturers, as showing that the t "mischievous effects" of the Dingley ' tariff upon their industries are begin ning lo become apparent to the manu facturers of the United States. We wonder! Delegates to large conventions sel ' dom do much of their own thinking. The thinking is done for them by ' somebody else. Now, is it really a fact that more than one out of ten of ; the rank and iile knew what they were voting on when they adopted a committee report calling for tariff re vision at the earliest practicable mo- and for filling up the gaps, ' meanwhile by negotiating for reci ' procity in competing products? Prob -1 ably not so many as one out of ten bothered their heads about the mat ' ter. A still smaller proportion—practi * cally none, excepting the half-baked 1 free traders on the committee which ' reported the resolution —had the faint est conception of what would be in ' volved in tariff revision downward, coupled with still further tariff con cessions in reciprocity treaties. We think the anti-protective news ' papers are mistaken in supposing that American manufacturers are ready to toss protection overboard. The mis r take is a natural one, to be sure, in view of that absurd tariff revision • resolution, but it is a mistake, never -3 tlieless. Cost Reduced by Protection. The tariff on plate glass has at least not prevented the reduction in ' price of that article from $2.50 per 3 square foot in 1876 to 30 and 35 cents ! per square foot at the present time. r But the tariff on plate glass has per -3 milted the development of a very val ' uable American industry, and the ex " istence of this industry lias had more > to do with lowering the.cost of all 1 plate glass to American consumers 1 than any other factor in connection with that reduction. Principally ow ing to the difference in wages paid, the cost of producing* plate glass in this country is very much greater than in France or Germany, or else where in Europe. These facts are re spectfully referred to those persons in the Fifth congressional district of this state who for local reasons are asking for a revision of the tariff in behalf of plate glass. The protective tariff has been a good friend to the 1 American consumer of plate glass.— Houghton Gazette, !GIVEN A JAIL SENTENCE. 1 MAN REFUSED TO CALL A DOC TOR FOK HIS DAUGHTER, WHO WAS SICK. New York Court Says a Father's Ex- ; cuse that He Had No Faith in Physicians Is Not Valid. New York.—Clarence W. Byrne, ' who was recently tried and j convicted on charges growing out of j his failure to employ medical assist- : ance for his 6-year-old daughter, who j died of pneumonia, was on Friday | sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment by the court of general sessions, j Byrne, who is a salesman, was arrest- j ed on a charge of violating a section j of the penal code which provides that i "a person who wilfully omits, without ; lawful excuse, to perform a duty by i law imposed upon him to furnish I food, clothing, shelter or medical at- [ j tendance to a minor, is guilty of a misdemeanor." The complainant i was Coroner Acritelli. The decision j was given by Justice Kean and the wnole court was unanimous for con viction and sentence. The defendant's excuse for not calling a medical practitioner during j ] his daughter's illness was "want of ! faith in doctors" and reliance upon ! the efficacy of the religious faith to | which he belongs. The cyurt held I the sole question before it to be i whether the omission to furnish mecli i cal attendance under the circum | gtancee constituted a "lawful excuse." ; THREE Ki'irO AT A CROSSING. I A Car on an Electric Railway Near Jackson, Mich., Strikes an Automobile. Jackson, Mich. A westbound i car on the Detroit., Jackson & | Chicag > electric railroad struck an | ant mobile containing five Jackson j residents at Sutton's Crossing, about thrae miles oast of here, last evening, j Mrs. Levi Palmer, Mrs. Emily Pulliver and Bernice Oliver were killed, the ' two last named instantly.

Improvement in Crop Prospects Brinrjs Out Libert.l Orders for Fall Trade. New York.—R. G. Dun ii Co.'s ' Weekly Review of Trade says: Trade reports from, the leading ! cities are singularly uniform in mak ; Ing favorable comparisons with the ! corresponding week in any previous j year. At most western ;ind southern | points the improvement in crop pros ' pects has brought out liberal fall or | ders, and there is evidently more | confidence in the future than at any | time since it was found thai, many of \ the principal farm products had made I a bad start. Jobbing houses are pre | paring for winter trade ou a scale seld un equalled, the consumption cf seasonable goods promising to de plete stocks most satisfactorily. I Manufacturers still receive orders in abundance, few clothing cancella ! tions appear and it is the exception | when plants have smaller contracts j than a year ago. More detailed re ! ports for the first half of 1007 add to | the earlier testimony that all records ; for six months were far surpassed. CAME WITH MURDEROUS INTENT. ! Mew York "Chinks" invada Boston's Chinatown and Kill Three Men and Wound Seven Others. Boston, Mass. —Burning with h;u | tred for their deadly enemies be ' longing to the rival On Leong Tong ; society, a band of New York China- I men numbering a dozen or more, and j said to l>e members of the notorious I Hep Sing Tong organization, entered i a narrow alley in Chinatown last night and, drawing revolvers, opened fire upon half a hundred Chinamen, killing three and injuring seven. At the first volley the Chinamen rushed for their quarters. The Hep Sing Tong men chased their victims Into their own doorways and shot tiiem down as they rushed upstairs or into side rooms. Then, casting away their guns, the visitors ran from the Chinese quarter, most of them escaping the; .police. The shooting occurred In the cen ter of Chinatown, whera about 50 chil dren were at play. Fully 50 shots were exchanged. Railroad's License Is Revoked. Montgomery, Ala. —The Southern railway's license to do busi ness in Alabama was revoked Friday by Secretary of State Julian because the railroad company violated a re cently enacted law in transferring damage cases from state to federal courts.
