The Good-Will Habit.
A habit of holding a kindly attitude
of mind toward everybody has a pow
erful influence upon the character. It
lifts the mind above petty jealousies
and meannesses; it encircles and en
larges the whole life. When we meet
people, no matter if they are stran
gers, we feel a certain kinship with
and friendliness for them, if we have
formed the good-will habit. In other
words, says the New York Weekly, the
kindly habit, the goodwill habit,
makes us feel more sympathy for
everybody. And if we radiate this
helpful, friendly feeling, others will
reflect it back to us. On the other
hand, if we go through life with a cold,
selfish mental attitude, caring only for
our own, always looking for the main
chance, only thinking of what will fur
ther our own interest, our own com-,
fort, totally indifferent to others, this
attitude will, after a while, harden the
feelings and the affections, and we
shall become dry, pessimistic and un
interesting.
One of the teachers in the Vevay
schools the other day asked her class
the origin of the word stateroom, as
applied to berths on steamboats. Not
/me in the class could answer the
question, and we doubt if there are
many people who could. The word,
says Vevay (Ind.) Reveille, originated
with the newspapers many years ago.
At that time a magnificent steamer
was built and 35 sleeping rooms were
made alongside the cabin. At that
time there were 35 states in the union,
and a room was named for each state.
Later the state of Texas was added to
the union, and the sleeping apartments
set aside for the officers of the boat
was dubbed "Texas."
The wisdom of sending the fleet into
the Pacific and to the far east has
been triumphantly demonstrated from
every point of view, declares the New-
York Herald. It has enormously in
creased American prestige, given as
surance of peace and promoted friend
ly relations, which will have the emi
nently practical result of stimulating
and expanding American commercial
interests.
If the Highland Park housewife who
bought two gallons of water for floor
polish will just drop In a couple of

floors shine. P. S.—Slice the bars of
soap.

It is painful to learn from a distin

PEACE WITH JAPAN
ACHIEVEMENT OF SECRETARY
ROOT A WORTHY ONE.
Americo-Japanese Compact, Brought
Into Being by Republican Ad
ministration, Is of Immense
Moment to the World.
The United States and Japan have
set down in black and white their mu
tual sentiments concerning the points !
upon which their interests touch.
Thus briefly, save in one important
particular, may be summarized the
meaning of the identical notes which
Secretary Root and Ambassador Taka
hira exchanged in the state depart
ment, at Washington. The two govern
ments wish to encourag'i the free and
peaceful development of their Pacific
commerce; they desire the mainte
nance of the status quo upon these wa
ters; they have no plans for aggres
sion upon each other's territory; they
seek equal trade opportunities in
China, and they will use all peaceful
means to assure the integrity and in
dependence of that empire.
These are simple formulations of
friendship. The sole clause which is
more than this is the mutual pledge of
the two powers to communicate with
each other with the purpose of reach
ing an understanding, should any
event arise to distrub the principles
above set forth.
In this "interchange of notes" there
is no technical treaty between this
country and Japan. Yet its moral and
political effect will almost certainly be
far greater than that of an intricate,
devious and ponderous agreement
worked out after the fashions of the
ancient diplomacy. For this is the new
diplomacy at work —in its "shirt
sleeves," if you will —upon the broad
est problems of progress, seeking its
goal direct and scorning the mental
and verbal mazes of mediaeval state
craft.
In ils largest sense the thing which
Elihu Root lias given us is an Americo-
Japanese peace compact. It brings to
a fitting close not only his own career
as secretary of state, but also the of
ficial record of Theodore Roosevelt,
pacificator. It follows up the work of
the treaty of Portsmouth and it adds
another link to the chain of peace
agreements which is quietly encircling
the earth. It justifies the altitude of
our people toward Japan in the war
with Russia and it knocks the ground
from beneath the feet of jingo alarm
ists of the Hobson type.
These are results, clear, tangible
and permanent. The people instinct
ively approve of theui and they want
more like them. It will be an unwary
statesman who tries to overthrow the
work of Root and Roosevelt this win
ter upon the technical plea that the
sacred privilege of tho senate has
been invaded.
The Postal Savings Bank.
A bill embodying Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer's recommendation for pos
tal savings banks is on the senate
calendar for consideration soon after
the opening of the short session. The
bill came from the senate post office
committee at the last session by a
unanimous vote, and a majority of
the senators are openly in favor of
the bill. Whatever opposition there
might have been in the house will be
greatly diminished by reason of the
pledge of the Chicago convention in
favor of the plan and because of ad
vocacy of the plan throughout the
west as a preferable alternative to
the scheme for the government guar
antee of deposits in national banks.
Misapprehension of the postal bank
as a competitor of national banks or
of existing savings banks has been
cleared away, and the advantage of
the plan as an extension of existing
agencies for the encouragement of
saving are generally recognized.
Congress and the Tariff.
The Republicans should allow their
opponents to monopolize the racket
about the tariff. At this time it is
legitimate game for them. Naturally
they are anxious to throw things into
confusion, in the hope of reaping fu
ture benefit. It seems altogether like
ly that the fight for the Sixty-second
house will turn on the tariff, with the
coming revision as the basis of action.
The Republicans must stand on the
record in respect to the good faith and
thoroughness of their revision, and the
Democrats, no matter what that record
may be, will challenge it. They can
not afford to be satisfied with it, and
will not be. What they desire is a tar
iff for revenue only. What the Re
publicans are instructed to give the
country is a new law, eliminating or
reducing duties wfiich time and manu
facturing developments have wholly or
in part rendered unnecessary and con
sequently burdensome and injurious,
but still recognizing the principles of
protection. The two parties are head
ing in different directions.
Tariff Hearings.
Chairman Payne's reply to Mr. Van-
Cleave is clear and sufficient. The
program of the ways and means com
mittee as to bearings was widely ad
vertised. Everybody was invited.
Come one, come ail. Producer and
consumer were respectfully requested
to step up and state their case. Some
have complied. There is yet time for
those who have not complied. The
hearings are not closing. The new
committee of the new house may seel;
information in the same way. it is
that committee which will draw the
bill, and the new members of it may
want to do a little investigating on
their own account. The battle has
not begun.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY DECEMBER 24, 1908.
IN FAVOR OF COMMISSION.
Plan of Business Men to Secure Genu
ine Tariff Revision.
It is reported fr6m Washington that
the ways and means committee of the
house intends to ask congress for au
thority to subpoena witnesses and Job
tain testimony by compulsion. Among
the woes of the "converted" standpat
ter:. who are complaining of distrust
and premature criticism is the indis
position of leading manufacturers to
appear before them. Experts like
Messrs. Van Cleave, Miles and Car
negie have declined for various lea
sons to give testimony to the commit
tee, and pretty plain intimations have
been made that the methods pursued
by it, as well as the time allotted to
important schedules, do not admit of
satisfactory and trustworthy results.
Instead of resorting to subpoena
threats, however, the converted stand
patters might with advantage ponder
the significance of the resolution just
adopted by the directorate of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce. Here
is an influential and powerful body of
business men proposing to congress
"the creation of a nonpartisan tariff
commission to which shall be intrust
ed investigation and recommendations
introductory to tariff revision." The
manufacturers and merchants of the
middle west evidently share the skep
ticism of their fellow business men of
New York and other industrial centers
as to the sort of revision likely to re
sult from the present hearings and the
existing machinery, says the Chicago
Record-Herald.
The directors of the Chicago Asso
ciation of Commerce have wisely asked
the other commercial organizations of
the country, or such as have not yet
expressed themselves, to adopt resolu
tions similar to theirs. Let the com
mittee and the converted standpatters
in congress understand the position of
the business community. If they are
really "converted" they will favor non
political, nonpartisan and scientific in
vestigation as the condition of "genu
ine" revision. A fit and nonpolitical
body would not need to drag witnesses
to its hearings or to appeal to any
legal "big stick." Men of ideas and
knowledge would be only too glad to
appear before it and submit their data
and their recommendations.
Taft's Problem.
President-elect Taft is already face
to face with the same perplexing dif
ficulties that have harassed the pres
ent national administration. The par
ty opponents of that administration
have been the first to try to "take Taft
into camp."
They want no tariff tinkering, no
currency legislation, no postal savings
banks, no labor legislation—in fact
pretty nearly every one of the planks
of the party platform they would like
to have thrown onto the wood pile of
political reminiscences.
Judge Taft is essentially a man of
peace. He deprecates war. He will
fiu;ht only when honor is at stake. He
wants no conflict with his party breth
ren.
But if these men ask him to repudi
ate his solemn pledges and the prom
ises of his party, we imagine his pon
derous fist will come down with sig
nificant emphasis and there will come
forth something that will sound very
much like an explosion..
Judge Taft despises sham, and
hypocrisy, and dishonesty. He is kind,
generous, self-sacrificing, but he must
not be expected to stultify himself. He
must not be asked to violate his sacred
word. He will not do it—he will be
true to the people who have placed
him at the head of the nation.
Campaign Publicity.
Mr. Bryan thought he was scoring
heavily when he ordered his party to
report its receipts before election day.
But he was mistaken. To the extent
that he had imagined, the country had
not accepted the statement that the
presidency had three times running
been bought, and w»s in danger ol
being sold a fourth.
Now as to tho two reports. The Re
publican national committee received
about $1,600,000, the Democratic com
mittee about $600,000. But those f*«?
ures do not represent all the money
that was spent in the campaign. Some
of the state elections, and especially
where the saloons were active, must
have been expensive; and money
spent on state tickets did its share in
promoting the fortunes of the kindred
national ticket.
Still, when everything has been
taken into account, it is plain that cor
ruption did not stalk abroad in this
latest campaign, and the conclusion
seems safe that it did not stalk abroad
in the campaigns of 1896, 1900 and
1904. Publicity is all right, and serves
a good purpose, but, alone, it will not
eliminate money as an improper
agency in our elections. The problem
remains unsolved.
Better Wait for New Congress.
Since Mr. Taft has announced his
determination to have real tariff re
vision there have been a number ol
' hurry calls" from the highly protect
»d interests clamoring for revision by
Cie present congress. The same in
terests now pleading for haste have
for years demanded and secured de
lay. And why not? Would they not
fare better with a hurried revision by
a congress that has been friendly to
them than with a more careful re
vision by a congress elected on a
pledge of honest tariff reform? But
the country is now disposed to wait
I for the new congress. The tariff
ought to be revised by the friends o
revision, not the enemies of revision
J and there are more friends and fev/e
| enemies in the congress-elect than i'
i the congress current.—Kansas Cil

IDE FIGHT FOR

QUARTERS AT COLUMBUS AND
CLANS GATHERING.
BURTON IS ON THE GROUND
Charles P. Taft Expected to Arrive
Monday—ls Now in Washing
ton—Foraker Looked for
Saturday.
Columbus, O. —Congressman T. E.
Burton of Cleveland arrived here on
Thursday to open his campaign for the
United States senatorship to succeed
Senator Foraker. He will stay here
until the legislature meets, with the ex
ception of spending a few days in
Cleveland during the holidays. He
said that there had been no break be
tween himself and President-elect Taft
and that he is in the race for the sena
torship to stay.
Notwithstanding assurances from
Mr. Burton that there has been no dis
agreement between Mr. Taft and Mr.
Burton, that idea is not accepted by
the followers of Charles P. Taft in Co
lumbus, and they are more pleased
than otherwise that this is the case. It
is stated now, following the announce
ment by William H. Taft that Mr.
Burton is not to be in the cabinet, that
the recent interview between the two
was not of the most pleasant nature in
the world. Friends of both men were
intensely interested in it, and were
anxious as to its outcome. Close
friends of Taft feared that Mr. Burton
would look on the offer of a cabinet
position in the nature of a bribe to in
duce him to leave the senatorial con
test, and it was expected that the
situation would be most embarrassing
for both gentlemen. In the light of
later developments the supposition is
that this is just the way Mr. Burton
did look at it, and probably that he
said so, and that as a result the presi
dent-elect resolved to remove tempta
tion from the path of tho Cuyahoga
congressman by withdrawing the offer
of a cabinet position.
Charles P. Taft will arrive Monday
morning to open headquarters. He has
gone to Washington and will remain
there for a day or so, delaying his ar
rival at Columbus.

munities, a large number of other
state dignitaries and ministers and the
heads of the diplomatic missions, were
present.
The sultan opened parliament in

TRIAL OF THORNTON HAINS
STORY OF KILLING OF ANNIS
TOLD IN COURT.
State Claims Hains Knew of Plan of
Slayer and Assisted Him in Carry
ing Out His Fatal Deed.
Flushing, N. Y. The story of
the slaying of William E. Annis, a
publisher, as he sat in his catboat clad
only in a bathing suit and was riddled
with bullets that made a dozen wounds
was on Wednesday ma*le part of the
record in the trial of Thornton J.
Hains, a magazine writer, charged
with being a principal with his brother,
Capt. Peter C. Hains, jr., in the mur
der of Annis last summer.
Tracing the movements of the prin
cipals in the Bayside Yacht club
tragedy with the aid of miniature iron
figures and models of the float and the
catboat Pam, Edwin Andrews, a yacht
club member, showed under examina
tion how the army captain, standing
on the float's edge, held aloft the ob
scuring boom and sail of Annis' boat
and shot the publisher as he sat at the
tiller.
There was surprise when it was
learned that John Tonning, a Swedish
boatman, who saw the tragedy, could
not be located. District Attorney Dar
rin said he thought Tonning was in
Sweden, but that nothing had been
heard from him since last September.
"He is a most important witness for
us," said Lawyer Mclntyre Wednesday
night, "for through him we would
have shown that he struck Capt. Hains
after the shooting with a boat hook or
car and that to protect his brother,
Thornton Hains drew his revolver."
The cross-examination of Andrews
consumed the major portion of the af
ternoon session and Lawyer Mclntyre
sought to develop that Thornton Hains
had used expressions after the shoot
ing to the effect that he had tried to
dissuade Capt. Hains from his act and
that he would hold him until the offi
cers came.
"HONEST REVISION OR NONE"
President-elect Taft Repledges Tariff
Revision in Speech at Banquet
in New York.
New York City. President-elect
Taft was the guest of honor Wednes
day evening at one of the most notable
banquets ever held in this city. It was
the twenty-third dinner of the Ohio So
ciety in New York, but around the 100
tables placed in the grand ball room In
Astor gallery of the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel were men gathered from every
section of the country and leaders in
many walks of life.
Mr. Taft took advantage of the oc
casion to pledge his administration and
his party, so far as he can control it,
to a loyal adherence to the Chicago
platform. He dwelt almost wholly
upon the revision of the tariff, which
he singled out as the most important
declaration made at the last national
convention, and said:
"Better no revision at all, better that
the new bill should fail, unless we
have an honest and thorough revision
on the basis laid down and the prin
ciple outlined in the party platform."
Mr. Taft also referred again to the
Sherman anti-trust law and declared
for its enforcement as one of the
Roosevelt policies that the party had
pledged itself to carry forward.
BONI WAIVES THE $60,000.00
At Last Minute Abandons Claim for
Big Sum in Suit Against
His Wife.
Paris, France. —The last day of the
hearing of the suit brought by Count
Boni De Castellane against his for
mer wife, the Princess De Sagan, born
Gould, in which he petitions the court
to award the custody of his three chil
dren to his mother, the Marquise De
Castellane, brought out the fact that
the count had decided upon a sudden
change in front in that he withdrew
his demand that the court allow him a
yearly income of $60,000 for the main
tenance of the children.
M. Bonnett read to the court a letter
from his client filled with indignant
protests that he should have been
charged with initiating the proceed
ings to obtain money. He insisted
his only object in wanting the children
removed from the De Sagan house
hold was their moral and physical wel
fare.
The count has recognized his claim
for this enormous allowance has in
jured his case in the eyes of the court
and the estimation of the public, and
his tardy renunciation Is considered a
clever move to enlist sympathy in
his favor.
Congressional.
Washington.—The senate devoted
considerable time on the 16th to a
discussion of the president's course
in placing strictures on congress in
the matter of the secret service and
adopted a resolution calling for a

Aside.
Columbus, O. —Michael F. Ryan of
Cleveland, well known in political
circles in that city, will be com
pelled to spend a year in the peniten
tiary, according to the decision of the
supreme court Tuesday. Ryan, who
was formerly a deputy in the state fire
marshal's department under Hy D. Da
vis, was a judge of election at a pri
mary held in precinct A, Twentieth
ward, Cleveland, before the election of
November, 1905, and was charged with
having certified that 43 men voted at
the election who in reality had not
been at the polls. He was sentenced
to serve one year in the penitentiary
aria the supreme court affirms.
Henry Walkendorfer must stand
alone a judgment rendered against
him and Henry Flandermeyer for sl,-
600 by the Cuyahoga county common
pleas court, in favor of Helen TJrbano
witz, who was five years old in 1905.
It is alleged that the two men while;
intoxicated drove through a crowd of
children playing in the street. The
common pleas court gave judgment
against both men, but the circuit court
released Flandermeyer from liability
because Walkendorfer owned the
horse and buggy and was driving. The
supreme court affirms the circuit
court's decision.
That waiver by an agent of written
proof of loss is not binding on a fire
insurance company was decided Tues
(lay in the case of the North British
and Mercantile Insurance Co. of Lon
don vs. E. C. and Delpha Smith. The
case came up from Hardin county.
The court holds that written proof
must be filed. The policyholders had
a fire and notified the local agent and
asked if they should file written no
tice and proof of loss. The agen;t
said it would not be necessary. Th<e
company refused to pay.
A peculiar case was decided in
volving the right of a second wife to
the property of her deceased husband
which property had been bequeathe*
to him by his first wife. William G
Rizor's first wife, Matilda Rizor, died
in Marion county, leaving him all of
her property. Rizor married again
and for a consideration of $5 trans
ferred 50 acres of this land to his sec
ond wife. After his death the heirs o
his first wife brought a partition suit
asking the division of this 50 acres
The court decided the case in favor
the first wife's heirs.
The decision of the lower court wa.
affirmed in which Frank R. Fuller o
Portage county, aged IS years, r<
covered SIOO from the Prudential Lif
Insurance Co. of New Jersey, $24 o
which was a payment on a 20-year er
dowment policy on his own life, th
balance being payments on indugtrif
