How Blind Children Are Trained.
In the New York state school for
the blind at Batavia, some of the best
work for the blind is being accom
plished. It is, in fact, becoming a
standard school, and is showing re
markable results as to what can be
done in the way of bodily improve
ment from carefully studied physical
training, says the Craftsman. It is
making self-reliance a most valued
possession of children who would other
wise go through life trembling with
fear and with outstretched hands to
ward off peril. The physiciai culture
work at Batavia is divided into eight
classes: kindergarten, primary boys
and primary girls, intermediate boys
and intermediate girls, junior boys,
senior boys and senior girls. Children
in the kindergarten are trained by
marching and simple exercises with
musical dumbbells. They graduate to
rings and wand exorcises in the pri
mary classes and attain to barbells in
the junior year. In the senior classes
boys are exercised with dumbbells and
chest weights and by running and
military marches. The senior girls
use dumbbells, barbells and Indian
clubs, and are also trained in marches.
NVork is given outside of the regular
hours to those whose interests or
needs are greater.
Exiles No Longer.
In the numerous articles appearing
from time to time on the progress of
the home cure of tuberculosis nearly
ail the emphasis is made upon the
purely scientific side —upon the won
ders of modern medicine, of modern
experiments and modern achieve
ments. And that the scientific strides
in the treatment of tuberculosis are
little short of marvelous, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal, is not to be
denied. It is greatly to the credit of
the medical profession that it has dem
onstrated in the abstract the curabili
ty of the disease, and then in the con
crete has wrought the cure at the
patient's own home. But there is the
sentimental, the mental, the "heart"
side of the revolution which, while
spoken of little, is not its least impor
tant aspect. Under the home treat
ment it is no longer necessary te
make exiles of loved ones—to banish
the tuberculosis patients to the dis
tant lands of the west, there to while
away their hours in isolation, home
sickness, introspection and dread.
Holland for some unaccountable rea
son is putting off the spanking of
Castro, although for some time past it
has had an official permit from the na

offers to hold its coat. Castro must
bear a charmed life. For one who has
been threatened with terrible lickings
for so many years he certainly looks
healthy and robust and good for many
happy returns of the ultimatums.
Many schemes are being put forward
for the securing of universal peace,

FRIEND OF WORKER
FAIRNESS OF JUDGE TAFT
BEYOND ALL DISPUTE.
His Decision in the Narrsmore Case
Has Been of Inestimable Bene
fit to All Who Labor
for Wages.
Those who have attempted to make
it appear that Mr. Taft is an enemy
of the worker because his decisions
have at times been anything but
agreeable to labor unions carefully
omitted all reference to the decision of
Judge Taft in the Narramore case.
The laws passed for the protection of
workingmen had been ignored by a
number of the big corporations and
when a man was mutilated or killed
the employers would set up the doc
trine of "assumed risk," that is, that
the workman by continuing to work
although the required safeguards had
not been provided assumed all liability
for accident. Courts in all parts of the
country had declared in this sense
until Judge Taft came to pass upon it.
Railway companies had been or
dered to block all frogs, but for eight
years had neglected to do so. Switch
man Narramore was caught in one and
left a cripple. The lower courts had
decided that he had no case, but
Judge Taft held that the laws of this
kind were passed in the interest of
the state as much as of the citizen,
for it was in the interest of the state
that its citizens should not be crippled
and so placed in a condition in which
they could not aid in its defense. It
was also in the interest of the state
that a workingman's family should not
be pauperized by the mutilation of its
breadwinner. On these grounds a
man had no right to assume such a
risk, as he was thereby injuring the
interests of the state.
This principle has been adopted by
the courts of nearly every state in
(he country, as well as the United
States, and it has led to the block
ing of frogs, the covering of cogged
wheels and the guarding of machin
ery. It has been the greatest relief
for the worker granted by a court in
many years.
MR. ROOT'S TIMELY DECISION.
Secretary's Decision Reflects Honor
on Himself and Country.
The Importance of Secretary Root's
refusal to grant the extradition of Jan
Pouren is not measured by the inter
est of this particular fugitive from
Russian oppression. The decision
confirms the opinion expressed in Mr.
Root's recent letter to Mr. Schiff,
that the unsatisfactory attitude of
Russia on the question of citizenship
rights should be pressed for immedi
ate consideration. The Russian resort
to a technicality for preventing the
proper admission of new evidence in
the hearing on Pouren's case, a de
vice promptly rebuked by Secretary
Root, will do much to bring about a
crisis in this discussion. Russia, un
der the existing, antiquated treaty,
does not recognize the right of ex
patriation, and consequently does not
recognize American citizenship and
passports from this country. To be
sure, there has been no effort at St.
Petersburg toward an extreme en
forcement of the Russian i>osition,
which would make every Russian
emigrant who sought American citi
zenship a criminal. The principle is
still maintained, and an attempt
might be made to enforce the law if
circumstances warranted such action
in the minds of the czar's police au
thorities. Citizenship rights should be
better defined. The effort of Secretary
Root to bring Russia into line with the
rest of the civilized world in the rec
ognition of international rights will be
approved for reasons other than in
terest in Jan Pouren.
Southern Need of Protection.
The Augusta Chronicle does well to
bring to the attention of the cotton
manufacturers of Georgia the increas
ing menace of competition from the
cotton mills of Germany. Fidelity to
home interests is an admirable trait.
Like the circus clown quoted by Gov.
Shaw in one of his recent speeches as
saying: "Of all my father's family I
love mysolf the best," the Chronicle
rightly warms to the welfare of its
own locality. So it performs a useful
function in bringing into larger notice
tin article in the Chattanooga Trades
man concerning the gigantic strides
made by German mills in the spinning
and weaving of cotton for export to
the markets of the world. It is of Im
portance to southern cotton manufac
turers to know that Germany is rapid
ly increasing her exports of cotton
jams and textiles to the United States.
Says the Chronicle:
"Our bill for textiles made out of
American cotton by German machin
ery and bought from German produc
ers, has increased from $14,000,000 to
1003 to over $18,000,000 annually at
the present time."
As to what should be done about It
the Chronicle, however, has nothing
to say. But the inference is plain
that cotton manufacturing in the
south must have adequate protection
against German competition. That is
the exact truth. Could not the Chron
lele forget its allegiance to Hryan and
his tree-trade doctrines long enough
to say so?

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19, 1908.
ALWAYS OPPOSED TO BRYAN.
Cleveland's Uttera-ces Leave No
Doubt as to His Position.
Leaving, as the Dispatch has done,
the question of the genuineness of the
disputed Cleveland article published
on August 30 to be determined by the
evidence alleged to exist, but apparent
ly impossible to extract except by
legal proceedings, one pertinent fact
remains. That is that there is no
doubt of Mr. Cleveland's opposition to
i:nd distrust of Bryan, any more than
there is of the contumely and hatred
of the Bryan clement toward Cleve
land—until it was deemed necessary
to try to mollify the Cleveland wing
with soft words.
There are three expressions from
Mr. Cleveland 011 ibis point. The iirst
was in bis speech at the Reform club
banquet of 1597, when he declared:
"it was a rude awakening for the
negligent and over-confident, and a
day of terror for sober and patriotic
men, when the bold promoters of this
reckless mob captured the organiza
tion of a powerful political party, and,
seizing its banners, shouted defiance
to the astonished conscience and con
servatism of the country."
The same dlsheartenment at the ad
herence of Democracy to Bryanism
was expressed in conversation with
the late Henry Loomis Nelson, and
published by Mr. Nelson, with Mr.
Cleveland's knowledge, in a letter to
Harper's Weekly in April of this year.
Finally his letter of July 14, 1908, to
Mr. Reeves stated:
"I note what you say in regard to
the unfortunate plight of Democracy.
I am dumfounded when I see its ap
parent willingness to turn again to
Bryanism sugar-coated, but other
wise unehanged—as manifested by the
cool and characteristically modest in
terview of 'The Peerless' published
in the newspapers of yesterday."
He is a very poorly informed per
son who does not know that these
were Mr. Cleveland's real sentiments.
He was not like organs that need no
naming, of the mental texture that
swallows convictions, and advocates
what they do not believe, at the be
hest of a party conviction. What he
thought of Bryanism in 1897, in 1906,
and in April, 1908, he undoubtedly
thought up to the day of his death. —
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Misrepresentation by the Commoner.
In Mr. Bryan's Commoner there ap
pears an article attempting to show
that the Merchants' Association of
New York has gone on record in favor
of guaranteeing bank deposits. The
inference sought to be suggested by
the Commoner is that when the Mer
chants' association indorsed the
Fowler bill, which did, indeed, seek to
make deposits more secure, it ap
proved the principle of the Hryan
guarantee scheme.
The truth is that the Fowler pro
gram no more resembles the Bryan
I lan than the gold standard is like
the sixteen-to-one notion. Mr. Fowler,
the author of the bill referred to, has
denounced Mr. Bryan's policy of guar
rnteeing bank deposits as financial in
sanity.
When the Commoner goes to such
lengths in trying to show that one
commercial organization at least has
indorsed his vicious banking pro
gram, great lack of support for the
Bryan delusion is thoroughly dem
onstrated.
Bryan's Greatness.
"If all that Mr. Bryan has favored
during the last 12 years had been en
acted into law we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard it as our chief business in the
future to find a way of escape from
the meshes of ill-considered legislation
in which we should have been entang
led. It is fortunate for him as well as
for us that he was defeated, and what
ever may be his present political po
tentiality can be ascribed to the fact
that hitherto he has not been permitted
to carry out his program."
Admirably put, Gov. Hughes.
Bryan's greatness arises from the re
fusal of the people to let him do what
he has wanted to do. He is fascinating
because of an attractive personality, a
smooth tongue, a plausible program.
But the people have repudiated every
one of his vagaries and, paradoxical as
It may seem, saved him from over
throw.
Will Regulate Tariff.
The Republican party, always prac
tical, always efficient, realizes that
many and great changes have taken
place in industrial conditions and com
mercial opportunities In the last de
cade. It purposes making the tariff
up-to-date in all respects. Duties
which have become excessively high
will be cut down. If any duties have
been outgrown and outworn they may
be removed altogether. If there
should be found any young or feeble
industry which can be developed into
healthy and lasting bulk and robust
ness in the United States by a little
more liberal tariff protection, that
aid will doubtless be given.
Both Wise and Consistent.
President Roosevelt, whose friend
ship for labor no man will dispute, and
whose heroic efforts in behalf of la
bor have been recognized throughout
the world, very fitly describes the
blacklist and the secondary boycott,
pet instruments of Gompers, as "two
of the most cruel forin3 of oppression
ever devised by the wit of man for the
Infliction of suffering on his weaker
follows."
The more the light Is thrown on this
controversy the more will the dema
i.oglsin of (lumpers and Bryan appear
and the wisdom and statesmanship u'
the U'jpublkan part) be indorsed.

DRILLING MACHINE.
How It la Made and How It la
Worked.
It will be seen from the sketch that
the drilling machine is a very simple
affair, consisting essentially of a round
block of wood about eight inches long
and eight inches in diameter, with an
iron band ring placed on the top and
bottom to prevent splitting. Through
Its center and protruding about two
Inches below is a smooth round
wooden shaft about one and one-fourth
inch in diameter and three feet in
length. Both ends of this shaft are
protected from splitting by a ring or
ferrule. The crossbar is a piece of
wood about three inches wide, one
inch thick and three and one-half feet
long, having a hole in the center large
enough to allow the bar to move eas
ily up and down on the shaft and
shaped as shown. The ends of the bar
may also be protected by ferrules. A
hole is bored in each end of the bar
and also in the upper end of the
shaft. Through these holes a piece of
strong cord or rawhide is passed and
drawn tight, with a bar standing,
squared, about one inch above the
block. The cord is then secured from
Hipping in the holes by means of knots
and pegs driven in the holes, says the
Metal Worker. A drill is inserted in

the end of this shaft below the block,
and may be made from an old hand
saw file ground to a triangular point.
To set the machine in motion, place
the point of the drill on the spot where
the hole is to be made, and with the ma
chine in an upright position, and while
grasping the bar in one hand, with
the other turn the shaft around until
the bar is raised as high as it will
go. Then lay hold of the bar with
both hands and press quickly down
wards. The weight of the block givea
sufficient motion to wind up the cord
and raise the bar again, when a sec
ond downward motion of the bar
causes a revolution in the opposite di
rection. In this way the work is ac
complished by pressing down on the
bar and allowing it to rise again as
the cord winds and unwinds upon the
revolving shaft.
KNOT FOR FOOTBALLS.
The Kind of a Tie That Will Not
Loosen Up.
One of the most prominent English
football clubs kept the tying of this
knot on the rubber hose of their foot
ball a secret and never allowed all of
its members to know how it was tied.
This tie can be used on grain sacks
and numerous other similar instances.

shown in Fig. 1, placing the end of
the cord under the first loop then pull
at each end of the cord, as in Jig. 2.
Polishing a Varnished Surface.
In order to obtain a good surface
for polishing, each coat of varnish
must be sandpapered, rubbed or
mossed down, as a polish can be ob
tained only on a surface that is per
fectly level. Therefore, the last coat
of varnish, when thoroughly dry and
hard, must be rubbed with No. 00
steel wool or FF pumice stone and wa
ter or oil, following with rotten stone
and water or oil, and when perfectly
done cleaned off thoroughly to avoid
scratches. For producing a very fine
polish, says a well-known authority,
mix with one pint of shellac that has
been cut in grain alcohol one-half pint
of raw linseed oil. Shake well every
time when applying It to a woolen
cloth, rub briskly until the polish is
hard and lustrous.—Carpentry and

THE MILL DAM.
How It Can Be Constructed 60 aa to
Be Flood and Ice Proof.
It has been discovered that In build
ing a rock or stone dam where the bed
of the stream is not solid rock and the
pour of the water is almost perpendic
ular it will undermine and the breast
will go away in pieces. Also, logs
and ice going over will come back
against the breast and batter It to
pieces finally.

American Miller. Anything passing
over the breast of this dam will paM
off smoothly and never come baok
against It. There is no possible chance
for undermining from the pour of the
water. The abutments at each end of
the dam are built of stone and ce
ment, and are high enough above the
crest to take the entire stream at the
time of a flood. Filling with Btone and
gravel under the sheathing and filling
with dirt on the up-stream side puts
the weight well up stream and makes
it perfectly secure.
The dam is built by sections, each
section completed and spiked together
and lapping the mud sills as done in
framing a barn. This dam is so tied
together that the entire structure would
have to all go at once to be washed
out.
In building a dam the breaat should
be set square with the stream, if pos
sible, and the filling above should be
good ground or clay, but no stone, as
stone gives a rough surface. The top
of the filling should be as compact and
smooth as possible.

NEW GLASS MAKING.
Wonderful Machine That Does Away
with the Blowing.
We all know that there is one pans
of glass for the rich and another for
the poor, known respectively as plat*
and sheet glass. And while both have
essentially the same composition, they
differ greatly in the purity of the ina
terials used and the method of manu
facture.
Until a few years ago sheet glass—
the windowpane of the multitude—•
owed its origin to the blower's breath.
But In 1903 Mr. John H. Lubbers of
Allegheny, Pa., invented a window
glass blowing machine which waa de
scribed as "the newest marvel in the
industrial affairs of this country."
And now, relates the Technical
World Magazine, Mr. Irving W. Col
burn of Franklin, Pa., has gone one
better and perfected—at a cost of
s2oo,ooo—a machine which makes
glass without blowing it at all —turns
it out in a continuous sheet and en
ables one man and two boys to ef
ficiently perform the work of 13 skilled
mechanics.
