Diehl's Old Stand, West Ward \ CAMERON COUNTYIPKESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1908 TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND Overrules Washington Monument Reg ulation For Benefit of the Sightless. The kind heariedness of Mr. Taf am] his sincere. common sense sytn pa thy with the unfortunates in thif world has just bee:i brought to the lit tention of tin; hlind in a peculiar way. Away up in the «<>p of the Washing ton monument, where thousands go t< behold the beauties of the nation'! capital, the Columbia Polytechnic i'.i stitute, which seeks to make It possi hie for the adult blind of the Unltec States to rise above conditions of de pendence by becoming self sustaining placed on sale souvenir post cards manufactured by its blind. Some sew tlmental persons took the view thii' this was undignified and succeeded it having the superintendent of public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. F. E. Cleaveland, prlncipa of the institute, appealed to Mr. Taft then secretary of war and withlt whose jurisdiction came the office 01 public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the sec retary that the blind should have tin benefit of this privilege, and the card! were again placed on sale in the mon ument. "For this action," said Prlncipa Cleaveland in discussing the incident "Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude ol every blind person, particularly th< progressive blind, who are striving t( help their less fortunate fellows " ANTI-NEGRO PL AN'KG IN WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC PLAI FORM. Jim Crow Plank. We favor the enactment of a law re quiring common carriers engaged ir passenger tratiic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white an<? colored passengers. Elective Franchise Plank. . Believing that the extension of th< elective franchise to a race inferior it intelligence and without preparatior for the wise and prudent exercise of r privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government was a mistake i! not a crime committed by the Repub lican party during the reign of passlor and prejudice following the civil wat for political ends and purposes, we de clare that the Democratic party is ii favor of so amending the constitutioi as to preserve the purity of the balloi and the electorate of the state from tin evil results from conferring such pow er and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its importance as it affects the stability and preserva tion of good government. Taft's Religion. To dispose of questions which shoult not lie asked as speedily as possible lei us say that Mr. Taft is not a 1 toman Catholic. lie Is a member of the Unl tarian church. That was the church ol his parents, and lie has never separat ed himself from it. Ills wife, however, is an Episcopalian, and lie worships more often beside her in her church. These are tlie facts, which are utter ly and absolutely unimportant. Tlu matter of a man's religion has no right ful place in consideration of his fitness for the presidency. The constitutioi of the nation, ordained and established "to secure the blessings of liberty U ourselves and our posterity," expressly places the very suggestion of sucL thought outside the pale of patriotism. No words can be clearer than these from our country's fundamental law, "No religious test ever shall be re quired as a qualification to any office | or public trust under the United I States." The numerous queries about Mr. Taft's religious belief show simply the ! extent to which his enemies have gone to rouse some prejudice against him Since there was 110 spot upon bis whole clean record of private conduct and public service to which they could point to Taft's detriment they display ed their willingness to descend to any depth of petty, cowardly, contemptible attack that might do him harm. —Phila- delphia North American. Same Old Story. Taft talked "straight talk" to his countrymen about every issue that en ! grosses the thoughts of Americans to | day. Bryan promises a series of post scripts to dispose of tariff, railroads, J currency, trusts and everything else of j real importance. And then lie engages j in one of liis melancholy searches after i a "paramount issue" and finds it in > the rhetorical, fustian and tinsel plati tude, "Shall the people rule?" It is the old, old story. The garb of | the conservative does not sit well upon | the born Crusader. Mr. Bryan has put j forth a tactful, smoothly phrased bun | die of generalities, and he has done so ! at the very moment when the mental ! appetite of the whole people is sharp ! encd for strong meat and not wind ! pudding. j With a score of honestly disputed J and important questions open, lie j chooses deliberately to select as the ; chief issue of the campaign «. query to | which there is absolutely iiv negative : response—"Shall the people ru.e?" The | people always have ruled and always will rule. —Philadelphia North Ameri can, Aug. 15, I!(OS. Reciprocal Boosting.

In ap pearance ami actions il is an enlarged duplicate of the cor.imou snapping tur tle. Its pale hro'vu hues well match the soft, muddy bottoms on which it lies motionless, angling for fish with the decoy. The bait Js attached inside the lower jaw, close to the tongue-, and is a well developed filament of tiesh, white and distinct from the yellowish mouth part and closely resembling a large grub. While waiting the turtle keeps this grub in motion, giving it the aspect of crawling about in a small circular course. Its mud colored shell, often studded with a growth of flue, waving inoss. looks like a great round Etone, and close to it is a second small er stone, the head. Close to this small er stone crawls the plump white grub. A fish sees it and makes a natural mistake, only to bo seized by a sudden snap of the powerful jaws. The jaws are remarkably powerful. The com mon snapper, which attains only a third of the size of his larger relative, will bite a linger clean off, and the al ligator snapper could bite through a wrist or foot.—Chicago Tribune. TRICKS OF WRITERS. A Ruse by Which Kipling Piqued His Readers' Curiosity. "When I first began to read Kip ling," said an admirer, "my curiosity was Immensely piqued by the scraps of verse with which he usually headed his early stories. They were all cred ited to poems I had never heard of in my life and were Just such salient, striking fragments as would naturally whet one's appetite for the remainder. For over si year I tried hard to locate those mysterious poems and enlisted half a dozen book dealers In the search. At last one of them wrote me that I was wasting time and that the alleged quotations were merely Mr. Kipling's little joke. "In other words, he manufactured 'em to order and stuck them at the top of his tales for the sake of the odor of erudition they lent to the production. I was mad for a while, but when I cooled off I had a good big laugh. Of course you know Scott used to do the same tiling, and so, for that matter, did Edgar Allan I'oe. Toe was really the worst quotation fakir of the lot. "He would write wise sounding de tached sentences and credit them to Imaginary German philosophers with long, outlandish and Impressive names. However, I don't know why the thing should be punishable. The business of a writer of fiction Is to create an illu sion, and as long as he does it I for one am not. particular what means he employs to contribute to the end."— New Orleans Times-Democrat. Immigrants' Purses. The immigrants who stream into New York all have different ways of carrying their money. The Irish immigrant carries a canvas bag in which notes and coins are crammed together. The Germans wear a money belt, gay and costly, of embroidered cha mois. The French and Italians carry brass tubes with screw tops wherein they keep their cash in twenty franc gold pieces. The Swede is sure to have an im mense poekotbook of cowhide that lists been handed down from father to son for generations. The Slavs carry their money in their high boots, along with a fork and spoon.—New York Tress. Forest of Stone In Australia. In Albany, in Australia, is to be seen a stone forest —in other words, petrified trees. The trees are of a gray stone. It is suggested as an explanation of the strange phenomenon that in the depths of past ages the forest was in full vegetation and then through some upheaval of the earth it was buried in sand. Little by little water acting OP the sand penetrated the branches and solidified. The wood gradually disappeared un der the layer of stone and in time took its form. Then in succeeding years the winds again carried away the sand and the forest appeared anew, but of stone. —London Globe. A Legal Thrust. "The learned counsel for the de fense," said 'lie plaintiff's attorney, "appears to be afraid of losing his case. Otherwise why Isn't he ready to Oil?" \ "I've gut si good excuse." replied counsel for the defense. "Nonsense! Ignorance of the law ex cuses no one." —Philadelphia Press. Our National Attitude.
