The story was told In the Youth's Companion some time ago of a mem ber of a "school city" in Chicago who defeated his teacher in debate on the question of war, which, the boy main tained, is forbidden by the ten com mandments and is always wrong. Now comes from Philadelphia the story of a girl who was also admitted to citi zenship in such an organization, and who upset promptly all the expecta tions of the schoolmistress. Every teacher who had ever struggled over her admitted that Marie Parola was a torment and a plague. There were 500 other girls in the same building with her, but Marie held all records as truant, slattern and mischief-maker. This is the way she appeared to her teachers, but she must have had good qualities which were apparent to her fellow pupils, although not to the teachers. With the girls of her class Marie was almost universally a fa vorite. After a time a "school city" was organized among the pupils, and to the disgust of the teacher, Marie was elected almost unanimously as delegate to the common council from her room. "What shall 1 do?" her teacher asked of the other "sehool ma'ams." "Wait and see," they coun seled. "Perhaps she will be afraid to come any more." But the next morn ing Marie was on hand blight and early, attired as for a ball. When the teacher arrived Marie greeted her gra ciously. Soon there entered a pupil as tousled and dirty as Marie had usually been. The new "councilman" led her aside and laid down the law to her. "We are citizens now," she said. "You don't want to do this way any more." Another girl who came late was also taken in hand and dis ciplined by the "councilman." Two years later the teacher who had been so angry when Marie was elected to the council admitted that there had never been in the school another in fluence so sweet, so great and so clean as Marie's. It is often so in life out side the schoolroom. Responsibility sobers and exalts and brings out qualities the possession of which had not been suspected. It has been suggested that towns lying along the line of the railroads put up bulletins at the railroad sta tions setting forth the attractions of the towns, and their claim on the in terest of the traveling public. If the bulletins are not so ugly as to disfig ure the landscape they will serve a useful purpose; but when the only bulletin in sight has been a small, well trimmed park about the station and clean and smooth strets leading to it, many travelers have had their curiosi ty aroused enough to inquire the name of the town and its leading industries, so pleasant an impression has the air of thrift and good taste made upon them. Those village Improvement as sociations which do not know where to begin their work might do much worse than to start with the railroad station surroundings. Italy is among the countries whose people are enjoying comparative pros perity. Because of the great number ■ coming to America, particularly from Sicily, laborers there are enjoying a 150 per cent, increase in wages, get ting 75 cents a day where they for merly got 30. Emigrant relatives in this country are sending liberal remit tances, the tendency being to create a firmer belief than ever that this is the Ipnd of promise. A bunk open day and night was es tablished in the city or New York some months ago. Recently the same amazing metropolis has created a night, cohj'. Besides symbolizing the eternal vigilance of justice (erroneous ly conceive# as blind), the night court mas had practical effect in limiting cer tain kinds of ■crime. Annie Hesant says she is the pres ent owner of th<> soul of Mme. Bla vatsk\. One of the disagreeable fea tures of fheosophy, says the Chicago Jtec/vrd-lh-rald, is thai an Individual cannot pick out the soul he ur she would like to have, but must accept any kind of a soul that comes B'oiig and demands Admission. NOT WITHOUT VALUE 1 EVEN THE STANDPATTER MAY HAVE HIS USES. The Country Seems to Be Coming Around to His Belief That for Some Time to Come It Would Be Prudent to Let the Tariff Entirely Alone. For the past five years the voice of the so-called "stand-patter" has beeu steadily against any disturbance of the tariff. Recent events and exist ing conditions in the political field would seem to indicate that the man who said "Let the tariff alone," was the man who was right all the time. Does anybody at this moment re gret that the tariff has been let alone for the past five years? Does anybody dispute that the coun try is in every way richer and better off because of five straight years of stand-pat policy? In 1906 stand-pat was the declared policy of the congressional campaign. It was the policy alike ofgthe congres sional committee and of the adminis tration. When in May of this year a conven tion representing not more than five per cent, of the manufacturers of the United States adopted a resolution calling for tariff revision at. the ear liest practical moment, and in the meantime wide-open reciprocity ar rangements, the stand-patter agaio said: "Let the tariff alone." Three months after the manufac turers in convention declared for im mediate tariff disturbance they changed their tune, and are now say ing that the tariff should not be touched for two years to come. They, too, are nearer to the stand pat position than they were last May; and again it is not the stand-patter who has changed his position. All the time, for five straight years, the stand-patter has said that tariff disturbance meant harm to business, harm to labor and wage earning, harm to the Republican party. "There fore," said the stand-patter, "let the tariff alone." To-day the tariff rippers of three months ago, ol a year ago, of five years ago, are saying precisely the same thing. They are saying that it would be suicidal for the Republican party to disturb the tariff at the threshold of a presidential campaign. "Let the tariff alone" (for two years) is what they are now saying. They are all nearer the stand-pat position than ever before; but it is not the staud-patter who has changed his position. The stand-patter has held the fort against all assailants for fully five years. He holds it yet. The longer he can hold it, the better for the country. In holding the fort for five years the stand-patter has been worth many billions of dollars to the country as a whole. He will be worth many bil lions more to the country if the coun try will keep on listening to his ad vice: "Let the tariff alone." What Revision Means. "Business interests need not be alarmed. The Republican national convention to meet next June will declare unequivocally for a protec tive tariff and against throwing the American market open to foreign ers." Thus speaks the Des Moines Capi tal. That assurance will not, how ever, prevent a serious disturbance of business when the hauling over of the tariff schedules begins. The charge is made that some of the schedules are too high. No particu lars are given. So the minute the on slaught begins all protected interests will be in a nervous state; retrench ment will be in order, factories will slow down, workmen will be dis charged and business of all classes will show an unhealthy tone during the uncertainty of the tariff discus sion. And then, after it is all over and another compromise bill is adopt ed, the country will again struggle back to its present condition of pros perity. Meanwhile the people will have experienced a slump that will cause them to wonder if, after ail, the present schedules were not all right and that it would have been better to stand pat!— Burlington Hawk-Eye. A Sericus Matter. The tariff cannot be amended with out diligent and .thorough inquiry, and this inquiry means a great deal of time and brings about a sharp conflict of the industries affected. Modern business is so complex and tariff schedules are so involved and far reaching that to tinker with the cus toms schedules is to set almost every kind of business in eagef motion, eith er to gain some fresh advantage or else to defeat proposals that seem fraught with menace. All this is laugh ed to scorn by theorists as of no con sequence, but business men know it is a serious matter. —Indianapolis Star. What Tariff Smashing Would Do. If the United States were to adopt the ideas of the tariff smashers and buy mostly abroad where labor is paid what Americans would call star vation wages, so that money was con stantly and largely shipped out of the country and labor reduced to the basis of foreign wage scales in competing industries, the sending of the circulat ing medium away would bring sueh results as the conditions prevailing at the end of ten years of that prac tice following the free trade pro gramme of 1846. Buffalo News. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17. W- SOME OF THE REASONS WHY Various People Are Anxious to Rip Up the Tariff. There are various reasons in the minds of men promoting the disire for a taking up of the tariff question. In the first place every manufac turer who favors tariff changes has in mind the other man, never once think ing that he will be hit. Secondly, the man who would have a change has in mind lower prices for the other man, not for himself. Third, the salaried class who feels that their situations are permanent. This class lias always been in favor of practical free-trade. Fourth, the man who has plenty of money with which to avail himself of the' advantages to be offered to him in the way of low-priced property. In other words, the man who is prepared to make money out of disaster wel comes disaster. Fifth, there is a class of men who think the wage worker is getting to be too obstreperous, too hard to han dle, all the time wanting more money. A suspension of business, caused by tariff ripping, would, they say, bring the wage worker to his senses by causing him to seek a job instead ot having the job seek hiin, as is the case at the present time. Men are not asking for more wages when they are out of work. Then they are only ask ing for jobs. Tariff ripping would throw men out of employment. Tho National Manufacturers' association lias declared for an immediate revi sion of the tariff. That association !a anti-union. Sixth, there are those who are com plaining that they are weary of the servant girl tyranny. They want some thing to break the servant girl's back, figuratively speaking. Closing factor ies and shops by tariff ripping, would throw girls and women out of em ployment and they would be compell ed to seek domestic service. Hence tariff ripping, some people think, would solve the servant girl problem. These are some of the classifica tions and some of the reasons for the tariff ripping sentiment which prevails to-day.—Des Moines Capital. THEY ALL WANT TO DO SOME THING TO THE TARIFF. "Not Desirable. Would tariff revision make an in creased demand for labor? Would more mills be started, more mines be opened or more wages be paid through its results? Would the re vision proposed be expected to add to the prosperity we are now and have been enjoying, or to take from it? These are some of the very pertinent and practical questions asked by Sena tor Foraker of Ohio, in the course of an address last week. The senior sen ator of Ohio may represent some pur poses which the voters of Michigan would not approve, but his questions suggests a position in the matter of tariff tinkering which Michigan does approve. That tariff revision such as would meet the requirements of the most aggressive advocates of such ac tion would be accompanied again with just such results as have always in the past accompanied it is a reasona ble answer to Senator Foraker's ques tions. And that is why it is not now desirable. —Reed City (Mich.) Clarion. Saw It All the Time. "As soon as it dawred on the intel ligence of our stand pat friends that every free trader in the land was content, and even anxious to play at the game of the maximum and the minimum, the thing was jerked out of sight and a new piece put on tho boards —revision by the friends of protection."—Washington Post. No man with an intelligent grasp of the principle and policy of pro tection ever had the slightest hesita tion in identifying the little free trade joker concealed in the maxi mum and minimum proposition. Pro tectionists prefer a single tariff. If a double tariff is made necessary by foreign tariff discrimination it should be a minimum and a maxi mum; a stable minimum not subject to trade dickers, and a high maximum as a penalty for unfair tariff treat ment by other nations. That m the true protectionist position. Nothing to Be Thankful For. "The Protective Tariff lcasuc ought to be thankful that the customs agree ment with Germany has prevented a commercial war that would probably have resulted in hasty action by con gress to reduce our tariff rates mate rially or else cause serious loss to American manufacturers and pro ducers of foodstuffs."—St. Paul Dis patch. Thankful for nothing! There never was the remotest possibility of a com mercial war with Germany. Germany put up a bluff, encourage;! '.hereto by the Reciprocal Tariff leaguers and such "tariff reforming" newspapers as the Dispatch, and our government "laid down" to it. That's all.—Amer ican Economist. WEEKLY REVIEW OE TRADE COITIONS. GENERAL BUSINESS IS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. SECURITIES HAVE FALLEN To the Lowest Point Since 1904—Many Contemplated Undertakings Await More Normal Financial Con ditions—Business Failures. New York. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: A larger volume of business la be ing transacted than at this time last year, although conditions in 11*06 were most favorable, and there is now the handicap of almost prohibitive rates for commercial paper. Many con templated undertakings await more normal financial conditions, and se curities have fallen to the lowest point since 1904, but general business throughout the country makes fairly good progress. Retailers report a very brisk move ment of seasonable merchandise and jobbers continue to forward suplenien tary consignments, but reports of col lections are irregular. In agricultural districts the market ing of the crops at high prices makes the payments satisfactory, but at in*fly eastern center:) there is com plaint of delay in settlements. Seveul strikes are still retarding progress, but most industrial plants are well occupied and are assured of continued activity up to the end of the year at least. Consumers anticipate more attrac tive terms in the pig iron market and consequently defer the placing of or ders, but most furnaces are still sold up to the end of the year, so that few concessions are offered. It is evident that there is no fear of over-produc tion, as the number of furnaces in blast increased on October 1. In some divisions of the steel mar ket there is an increase of volume of new business, but other plants find much delay in the placing of contracts, although a considerable tonnage is un der. consideration. Cotton mills continue well occupied. There is still much idle machinery at woolen mills, men's wear products be ing the most uncertain section, while the status of the worsted manufac turer is practically determined. New England shoe factories bene fited by the strike at St. Louis, which sent many orders to the east. Business failures in the United States for the week ending October 10 numbered 192, against 177 last week. ACCIDENT ON A BOAT. ' Steam Pipe Bursts, Causing Death of Two Men and Badly Scald ing Another. Buffalo, N. Y. The propeller City of Naples, of the Gilchrist fleet, came into port Friday night with two of her crew dead and one of her officers badly scalded. The dead are: Louis liornbusle, a fireman, of Mil waukee. James Flanagan, a coal passer, of Buffalo. Injured: First Engineer Louis Fit tinger, of Buffalo, badly scalded about feet and legs. The City of Naples was off Long Point about 3 o'clock Friday morning. There was a stiff gale blowing and the sea was running high. liorn busle and Flanagan were stoking and Fittinger was in charge of the en gines. A 5% inch steam pipe betweeu the boilers and engine burst, sending a cloud of scalding steam and water down into the boiler room. Deprived of her power, the Naples swung into the trough of the sea ami began to roll heavily. The coal in the bunkers where Hombusle and Flanagan had fled to escape the blinding steom, sud denly shifted burying the two men. The boiling water poured in upon them, scalding them to death. First Engineer Fittinger, who went below to rescue his two men, stepped into a foot of boiling hot water. He managed to return to the deck un aided. The City of Naples drifted help lessly until daybreak, when she was picked up by a propeller and towed into port. Body Taken to Canada. Columbus, O. —The body of Mrs. Cassle Chadwick, who died in the woman's ward of the Ohio peniten tiary Thursday night, was taken Fri day evening to Woodstock, Ont., the place of her birth, for burial. The body was accompanied by Emil Hoov er, son of Mrs. Chadwick, and Airs. .1. W. Weston, a sister, of Woodstock, who arrived during the day. No serv ices were held here and plans for the burial at Woodstcek were not an nounced. Cubs Win Three Straight. Detroit, Mich. —ln the first game of tiie world's championship series on their own field, the Detroit American league team was beaten Friday after noon by the Chicago Nationals by the score of 6 to 1. It was a well deserv ed victory for the Chicago team, as it played superior ball throughout the game. There were several errors of omission on the part of the Detroit team, beside the two errors scored against them which figured in the Chicago run-making. Exhibiting the Connecticut. New London, Conn. The bat tleship Connecticut, with Rear Ad miral Evans on board, arrived here Friday and is anchored near the light house. The big battleship was brought here in order that the people of Con necticut might have an opportunity to inspect the ship named after their state, before she leaves for the Pacific Americans Win Again. Bcsten, Mass. —The local Anieri can league team won its fifth success ive victory over the Nationals Friil.iv >to 3. Lindeman was hit hard i .ipota. LIVING. The messenger from Mars gurveyed the multitude which had gathered to meet him with undisguised Interest Nor did he hesitate to propound such inquiries as his curiosity prompted. "Where do you all live?" he asked speaking generally. "I live in the future," said a young man, good humoredly. "And 1 in the past," said an old man. "How odd! And does none of you live in the present?" There was an awkward silence. "Pardon rue," said the Martian, hastily. "Perhaps I press my ques tions too closely." At this a voice from the outskirts of the crowd spoke up, saying: "We have not yet learned him to live in the present without interrup tion of business, don't you know?" — Ramsey Henson, in Puck. SYMPATHETIC. Engineer—You are not alone in your troubles. My business, for in stance, is constantly breaking up. Bankrupt—Er, what is your line, sir? Engineer—Stone crushing!—N. Y Telegram. Real Flight. "Oh, darling, rome and fly with me," He crted to the maiden sweet; Just then bis auto hit a cow And o'er the big and brassy prow The maid flew twenty feet. —Chicago Daily News. Much in a Name. Western Man (looking at a sailing craft) —What keeps the sail out straight? New York Host —It is held taut hj the gaff and the boom. That heavy piece of timber at the bottom is called the boom. When the wind is fair the boom swings out and Btays there; but if the wind should change, ii might swing back with terrific force, and knock everybody overboard." Western Man —Ah! I see now why it is called a boom. We have- booms in the west, you know. Corrected. A commercial traveler who makei frequent trips to the west from New York is on friendly terms with the porter of the sleeping car who rejoices in the name of Lawrence Lee. "Well, Lawrence," announced the salesman, gleefully, "I have good news for you. We've had a birth in our family, twins, by George." "Dat am no birth, sir," said Law rence, "dat's a section." All Sunshine. Studious Sam—Here is where soma scientist states that in 2,000,000 yean rain will never fall on the earth." Jolly Jack —Gracious! I hope I live that long. Studious Sam —W r hy so? Jolly Jack—Why, when those sunny days arrive we won't have to save up for a rainy day.—Chicago Daily News. A Small Request. "Judge, will you do me a great fa vor?" asked the lady who was about to be put upon the stand as a witness. "Certainly, miss, what is it?" "Will you please ask me my age be fore I take the oath?"—Yonkers Statesman. What He Was Called. Joakley—Queer thing about that tall man over there. All his intimate friends call him "Short." Poakley—Ah, just for a joke, I sup pose? Joakley—No, because that's his name. G.SCHMIDT'S,^ FOR FREBH BREADi J popular fe "^o^ A K ef y. © CONFECTIONERY Daily Delivery.
