Dogs as Suicides.
According to M. Camille Flam
maiion, the eminent astronomer and
psychologist, it is possible for dogs to
commit suicide. We ourselves liave
heard of such things and take more or
less stock in them, but M. Fiammarion
believes that dogs suffer from grief
and despair and kill themselves like
human beings. His remarks were oc
casioned by the alleged suicide of a
Saint Bernard dog who threw himself
under a motor bus in the Place Saint
Sulpice recently, an hour after the
death of his mistress. Jle argues that
'the dog may be assumed to have
known as well as a human being that
a motor bus would crush him to death,
and when he got in front of its wheels
he probably did so as the quickest
way to end his grief at his mistress'
demise. M. Fiammarion cites other in
stances which have come under his
notice of dogs committing suicide, and
concludes that the stories are not so
incredible as they seem at first sight,
and adds that dogs may have even bor
rowed the instinct from man. But hav
ing given dogs credit for memory and
intense affection, says the Boston Her
ald, why doubt their capacity for men
tal suffering? Maeterlinck, another ob
server of dogs, lias given them souls,
as well as memory and affections.
Many a dog has died of grief even if
he did not commit suicide.
Six professors of the State College
of Agriculture are making a tour
through the farming regions of Penn
sylvania on a special "educational
train" furnished by a big railroad
company. The trip combines instruc
tion through lectures and object les
sons in the shape of all sorts of up-to
date equipment for farm work, carried
on the train. One of various objects
in view is encouraging the cultivation
of alfalfa, the hardy grass which is pe
culiarly valued as a hay producer.
There are also suggestions for increas
ing the output of dairy products, the
care of live stock and other matters of
practical moment. As the people flock
to the train, view the exhibits and lis
ten with deep interest to the lectures
it is apparent that they are quite will
ing to pick up hints that may be valu
able in their business.
There are five rare metals in the so
called platinum group—rhodium, os
mium, palladium, iridium, and ruthen
ium. Rhodium resists the action of
chemicals remaikably, acids that dis
solve gold and platinum having no
effect upon it. It is used for crucibles.
Osmium is the heaviest of the metals,
one-sixth heavier than gold. Iridium
is one of the hardest of metals and is
extensively used in the making of
points for gold pens. All these rare
and costly metals are obtained mere
ly as by-products in the refining of
platinum, and the world supply is con
trolled by one firm in London.
The expression, "Painting the town
red," has been traced to"The Divine
Comedy." Dante, led by Virgil, comes
to the cavernous depths of the place
swept by a mighty wind where those
who are confined who have been the
prey of their passions. Two faces
arise from the mist —the faces of
Francesca and Paola. "Who are ye?"
cries Dante in alarm; and Francesca
replies sadly, "We are those who have
pajnted the world red with our sins."
Emperor William thinks the Zeppe
lin airship will give Germany an im
portant advantage in the next great
war to be fought in Europe, provided
he can get them to fight it before a
better airship than the Zeppelin con
trivance is invented; but some of the
powers ate perversely hanging back,
apparently being determined to put off
the conflict for years and perhaps for
ever.

Washington.—With the transmission of
the report of the national conservation
commission and accompanying papers.
President Roosevelt also sent a message
to congress. The following is a com
prehensive synopsis of the document:
The president declares lits entire con
currence with the statements and con
clusions of the report and proceeds;
"It is one of the most fundamentally
Important documents ever laid before the
American people, it contains the first in
ventory of its natural resources ever
made by any nation. In condensed form
It presents a statement of our available
capital in material resources, which are
the means of progress, and calls atten
tion to the essential conditions upon
which the perpetuity, safety and welfare
of this nation now rest and must»always
continue to rest.
"The facts set forth in this report con
stitute an imperative call to action. The
situation they disclose demands that we,
if. !
President Roosevelt.
neglecting for a time, if need he, smaller
and less vital questions, shall concentrate
an effective part of our attention upon
the great material foundations of na
tional existence, progress, and prosperity.
"The first of all considerations is the
permanent welfare of our people; and
true moral welfare, the highest form of
welfare, can not permanently exist save
on a firm and lasting foundation of mate
rial well-being. In this respect our situ
ation is far from satisfactory. After
every possible allowance has been made,
and when every hopeful indication has
been given its full weight, the facts still
give reason for grave concern. It would
be unworthy of our history and our in
telligence, and disastrous to our future,
to shut our eyes to these facts or at
tempt to laugh them out of court. The
people should and will rightly demand
that the great fundamental questions
shall be given attention by their rep
resentatives. I do not advise hasty or Ill
considered action on disputed points, but
I do urge, where the facts are known,
where the public Interest Is clear, that
neither Indifference and inertia, nor ad
verse private Interests, shall be allowed
to stand In the way oft'"> public good.
"The great basic facts are already well
known. We know that our population is
now adding about one-fifth to its numbers
in ten years, and that by the middle of
the present century perhaps 150,000,000
Americans, and by its end very many
millions more, must be fed and clothed
from the products of our soil.
"We know now that our rivers can and
should he made to serve our people ef
fectively In transportation, but that the
vast expenditures for our waterways
have not resulted in maintaining, much
less in promoting, Inland navigation.
Therefore, let us take Immediate steps to
ascertain the reasons and to prepare and
adopt a comprehensive plan for inland
waterway navigation that will result in
giving the people the benefits for which
they have paid but which they have not
yet received. We know now that our for
ests are fast disappearing, that less than
one-fifth of them are being conserved,
and that no good purpose can be met by
failing to provide the relatively small
sums needed for the protection, use, and
Improvement of all forests still owned by
the government, and to enact laws to
check the wasteful destruction of the for
ests in private hands.
"We know now that our mineral re
sources once exhausted are gone for
ever, and that the needless waste of
them costs us hundreds of human lives
and nearly J300.000.000 a year. Therefore,
let us undertake without delay the In
vestigations necessary before our people
will be In position, through state action
or otherwise, to put an end to this huge
loss and waste, and conserve both our
mineral resources and the lives of the
men who take them from the earth.
"This administration has achieved
some things; it has sought, but has
not been able, to achieve, others; it
has doubtless made mistakes; but all
It has done or attempted has been In
the single, consistent .effort to se
cure and enlarge the riffi and oppor
tunities of the men and \ i of the
I'nlted States. We are tr. con
serve what is good in our -vs
tem, and we are striving t
end when we endeavor to do aw<».» .. ~n
what is bad. Success may be made too
hard for some if it is made too easy
for others. The rewards of common
Industry and thrift may be too small
if the rewards for others, and on the
whole less valuable, qualities, are
made too large, and especially If the
rewards for qualities which are really,
from the public standpoint, undesir
able. are permitted to become too
large. Our aim Is so far as possible
to provide such conditions that there
shall be equality of opportunity where
there Is equality of energy, fidelity and
Intelligence; when there is a reason
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY JANUARY 28, 1909
able equality of opportunity the dis
tribution of rewards will take earn
of itself.
"The unchecked existence of monop
oly is Incompatible with equality of
opportunity. The reason for the ex
ercise of government control over great
monopolies is to equalize opportunity.
We are fighting against privilege. It
was made unlawful for corporations
to contribute money for election ex
penses in order to abridge the power
of special privilege at the polls. Rail
road rate control is an attempt to se
cure an equality of opportunity for all
men affected by rail transportation;
and that means all of us. The great
anthracite coal strike was settled, and
the pressing danger of a coal famine
averted, because we recognized that
the control of a public necessity in
volves a duty to the people. anet that
public intervention in the affairs of a
public service corporation is neither
to be resented as usurpation nor per
mitted as a privilege by the corpora
tions. but on the contrary to be ac
cepted as a duty and exercised as a
right by the government in the in
terest of all the people. The effi
ciency of the army and the navy has
been increased so that our people may
follow in peace the great work of
making this country a better place for
Americans to live In, and our navy
was sent round the world for the same
ultimate purpose. All the acts taken
by the government during the last
seven years, and all the policies now
being pursued by the Government, fit
in as parts of a consistent whole.
"The enactment of a pure food law
was a recognition of the fact that the
public welfare outweighs the right to
private gain, nnd that no man may
poison the people for his private prollt.
The employers' liability bill recog
nized the controlling fact that while
the employer usually has at stake no
more than his profit, the stake of the
employe is a living for himself and
his family.
"VVe are building the Panama canal;
and tills means that we are engaged
in the giant engineering feat of all
time. We are striving to add in all
ways to the habitability and beauty of
our country. We are striving to hold
In the public lands the remaining
supply of unappropriated coal, for the
protection and benefit of all the people.
We have taken the first steps toward
the conservation of our natural re
sources. and the betterment of coun
try life, and the Improvement of our
waterways. We stand for the right
of every child to a childhood free from
grinding toll, nnd to an education; for
the civic responsibility and decency
of every citizen; for prudent fore
sight in public matters, and for fait
play In every relation of our national
and economic life. In international
matters we apply a system of diplo
macy which puts the obligations ol
international morality on a level with
those that govern the actions of an
honest gentleman In dealing with his
fellow-men. Within our own border we
stand for truth and honesty in public
and in private life; and we war stern
ly against wrongdoers of every grade.
All these efforts are integral parts
of the same attempt, the attempt to
enthrone justice and righteousness, to
secure freedom of opportunity to all
of our citizens, now and hereafter, and
to set the ultimate interest of all of
us above the temporary interest ol
any individual, class, or group.
"The nation. Its government, and its
resources exist, first of all, for the
American citizen, whatever his creed,
race, or birthplace, whether he be rich
or poor, educated or Ignorant, pro
vided only that he Is a good citizen,
recognizing his obligations to the na
tion for the rights and opportunities
which he owes to the nation.
"The obligations, and not the rights
of citizenship increase in proportion tc
the increase of a man's wealth of
power. The time is coming when a
man will be Judged, not by what he
has succeeded in getting for himsell
from the common store, but by how
well he has done his duty as a citizen
and by what the ordinary citizen has
gained in freedom of opportunity be
cause of his service for the common
good. The highest value we know W
that of the individual citizen, and th<
highest justice is to give him fait
play in the effort to realize the best
there is in him.
"The tasks this nation has to do
are great tasks. They can only be
done at all by our citizens acting to
gether, and they can be done best ol
all by the direct and simple applica
tion of homely common sense. The
application of common sense to common
problems for the common good, undei
the guidance of the principles upon
which this republic was based, and bj
virtue of which It exists, spells per
petuity for the nation, civil and indus
trial liberty for its citizens, and
freedom of opportunity In the pursull
of happiness for the plain American
for whom this nation was founded, by
whom it was preserved, and through
whom alone it can be perpetuated
Upon this platform—larger than any
party differences, higher than class
prejudice, broader than any question
of profit and loss—there is room for
every American who realizes that the
common good stands first."
Accompanying the message are ex
planations and recommendations ol
work to be done for the future good ol
the country. The president says; "It is
especially important that the develop
ment of water power should be guard
ed with the utmost care both by the
national government and by the states
in order to protect the people against
the upgrowth of monopoly and to in
sure to them a fair share In the bene
fits which will follow the development
of this great asset which belongs tc
the people and should be controlled by
them.
"I urge that provision be made for
both protection and more rapid devel
opment of the national forests. Other
wise. either the Increasing use of these
forests by the people must be checked
or their protection against fire must
be dangerously weakened. if we
compare the actual fire damage on sim
ilar areas on private and national for
est lands during the past year, the
government fire patrol saved commer
cial timber worth as much as the
total cost of caring for all national
forests at the present rate for about
ten years.
"I especially commend to congress
the facts presented by the commis
sion as to the relation between for
ests and stream flow in its bearing
upon the importance of the forest
lands in national ownership. With
out an understanding of this ultimate
relation the conservation of both these
natural resources must largely fail.
"The time has fully arrived for rec
ognizing in the law the responsibility
to the community, the state, and the
nation which rests upon the private
ownership of private lands. The own
ership of forest land is a public trust.
The man who would handle his forest
as to cause erosion and to injure
stream flow must be not only educated
but he must be controlled."
In conclusion the president urges
upon congress the desirability of
maintaining a national commission on
the conservation of the resources of
the country. He adds: "I would also
advise that an appropriation of at
least sfio,ooo be made to cover the ex
penses of the national conservation
commission for necessary rent, assist
ance and traveling expenses. This is
a very small sum. I know of no
o'her way in which the appropriation
of so small a sum would result in s<
large u benefit to the v,'holes nation."
CATCH AT A STRAW
DEMOCRATIC HOPE OF REMAIN
ING A PARTY.
Henry D. Clayton Urges His Fellows
to Frame a Complete Tariff Bill-
Obvious Weakness in
the Purpose.
A party that ignores the tariff as a
leading issue ceases to be a national
party. The Democratic party has long
ceased to have claim upon the nation,
because it has turned aside to adventi
tious issues instead of pursuing the
highway of political expression. This
Is the view taken by Henry I). Clayton,
chairman of the Democratic caucus
of the house of representatives. He
urges his fellows to frame a com
plete tariff bill in order to meet the Re
publicans point by point with counter
schedules. There would certainly be
no objection on the part of the Repub
licans for the Democrats to take this
course. The tariff is a national ques
tion, more broadly so, perhaps, than
any other. The more enlightening the
discussion of it the better.
Yet the Democrats have 110 position
on the subject. They may claim, as
th<y will, that they are a party for
this, that or the either kind of Jariff;
the fact, is that Mr. Bryan so subordi
nated the issue that the genius of the
Democrats for making free trade pleas
has ceased. They have gotten out of
line with this subject in pursuing will
o'-the-wisps that Bryan originated. The
bulk of the Democratic party was
ready enough to follow these false
fires. It had renounced the attitude of
Cleveland upon the subject, and, there
fore, had only to accept in effect the
attitude of the Republicans, or go into
the bush to hunt for new game. They
chose to do the latter. Now that the
game bag is utterly empty, they seek
to take a pot-shot at the tariff.
Mr. Clayton would have his party
cease to be a party of opposition and
assume a positive stand. If it as
sumed the stand on the tariff that the
Democratic platform advocated, it
would discriminate between articles
upon the principle that the one or the
other did not furnish trust material.
This would not by any means be fram
ing a new measure "from agates to
zinc." There is no authority in the
party platform for a thorough-going
tariff bill. If the caucus should adopt
such a course of action it would be
but adding futility to futility.
The question behind the proposal of
Mr. Clayton is: Has the Democracy
enough inherent vitality left to become
a really natoinal party? The intention
of the conservatives is, of course, to
seek to bring the old position to the
fore. The intent is to enable the
Democrats during the next four years
to so regalvanize their old principles
as to throw off the incubus of Bryan
ism. This would be a feat upon the
accomplishment of which the Demo
crats would be subjects of congratula
tion. But the obvious purpose and the
inherent weakness of a tariff fight
would discount the efforts of the
party's representatives in congress. It
would be a feeble and ineffective ex
hibition, and Tor this very reason
might afford Mr. Bryan new ground
to claim that without him the party
is moribund.
The United States and Cuba.
The United States, much better sat
isfied with Cuba as a small indepen
dent neighbor than with Cuba as an
adoptive child requiring more than
parental responsibilities, should not
only do all in its power to discourage
the beginnings of revolution —and this
it has done fully and honestly—but it
should establish an active informa
tion bureau to make public both in
Cuba and in the United States all the
facts it can gather as to the true or
igin of semi-revolutionary disturbances
at their very inception, in this way
it may produce an improved popular
understanding of the real meaning of
Cuban insurrections, and help greatly
toward an intelligent judgment as to
what tlie best method will be to con
trol them, short of annexation.
Knox Ideal Secretary of State.
No one worth listening to has yet
suggested that Mr. Taft made a mis
take when he appointed Senator Knox
as secretary of state. The foreign re
lations of the country have no longer
the vague and intangible significance
that they had a few years ago before
America acquired "dependencies"—if
that un-American word may be used —
and before she inserted so large a fin
ger into the cooking-pot of the world
policies. No one can imagine Senator
Knox as guilty of an indiscretion. No
one can imagine him as exceeding the
pace of the most cautious and con
servative diplomacies. He will never
be iletected in an impetuosity or a
spreadeagleism.—San Francisco Argo
naut.
United States Always for Peace.
Mr. Taft cabled a Paris newspa
per, in answer to a question, that bis
most earnest New Year's wish was for
the preservation of the peace of the
world. And as far as the influence of
the United States is concerned, it will
always be thrown on the side of peace,
a great factor in its preservation, as
it is an influence which the world now
confesses it cannot afford to dis
regard.
Mr. Bryan has offered several expla
nations of his third defeat, but it has
not occurred to him that there was
the slightest deficiency in the unsuc
cessful candidate,—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
It is said that Mr. Bryan will con
tinue to take a hand in politics. Not
i hand; a voice.
EXPLANATION FROM MR. BRYAN
Perennial Candidate Furnishes Solu
tion of "Mystery of 1908."
The Charleston News and Courier
says that Mr. Bryan has himself found
the best solution of"The Mystery of
1908." li will not, of course, be pub
lished in the Commoner, I'ejr it is clear
ly entitled to the first prize in that
publication's current guessing contest
Mr. Bryan believes in a fair distribu
tor of life's prizes, and would not
want to compete with his less talented
subscribers. The Democratic candi
date's answer to the riddle of 1908 is
that Mr. Taft was electee! "through a
combination of the financial, commer
cial and industrial interests of the
country." He does not himself approve
of such a combination, for he adds that
he "would rather remain a private citi
zen than be president and be sub
servient to those interests, as Mr. Taft
must be under the conditions that
elected him."
Mr. Bryan's explanation certainly ex
plains. We do not see he>w a candi
date' solidly supported by the financial,
commercial and industrial interests of
the country could fail of election.
Those interests embrace almost every
body making a living in this country
outside of the professions. They
dominate ejur political lifr», and ought
to dominate it. As thea News and
Courier justly points out, they include
"the merchants, the bankers, the man
ufacturers, the workingmen and the
farmers."
Mr. Bryan is becoming very exclu
sive in his political affiliations when he
says that he would not care as presi
dent to be "subservient to the finan
cial, commercial and inelustrial inter
ests" of the country. What other in
terests would he serve? Whose wel
fare would he put ahead of the wel
fare of those who produce and dis
tribute, of those who create the wealth
of the; country and of those who act
as middlemen between the producer
and the consumer? The presidential
candidate who haughtily dismisses
these controlling elements in our pop
ulation as beneath his concern will in
evitably remain in the minority, lie
is too exclusive for the average Amer
ican voter.
Tariff on Hides Should Come Off.
The tariff on hides is not protec
tive. It. never led to the raising in
the United States of a single steer
that would not have been raised with
out it. It hurts instead of helps Amer
ican industry, by making the raw
material of the tanner artificially dear,
which is a great detriment to the man
ufacturer of shoes. As a revenue pro
ducer it is injudicious, because for
every dollar it nets to the government
it makes the American people pay
many dollars in the increased cost of
footwear.
The tariff on hides injures the for
eign trade by enhancing the cost of
manufacturing boots and shoes intend
ed for export and by showing inhospi
tality to an important export of Souih
America, a region whose good will the
United States has taken pains in many
ways to secure, but which maintains
more intimate commercial relations
with Great Britain anu Germany than
with the northern portion of the west
ern hemisphere.
Sometimes the question of the tar
iff on hides is obscured by dragging in
voluminous collateral statistics. It is
a simple question, and the facts set
forth above are conclusive as to the
inadvisability of the impost. It was
not favored by the authe>rs of the Mc-
Kinley tariff and the Dingley tariff,
but was hung onto those measures
while they were on their passage. It
is an excrescence, and should be lopped
off. —Evening Wisconsin.
Always Ready.
The American battle-ship fleet
reached Suez two days ahead bf its
schedule. It was met by orders to
hasten to Sicily and there do all pos
sible for those who are suffering from
the great earthquake disaster.
Within a few hours the small cruiser
Yankton was o% -ier way through the
canal, with ever* medical officer and
hospital attendant that could be
spared. The supply ship Culgoa was
close behind with all the surplus pro
visions of the fleet.
Ample supplies of coal awaited the
fleet at Port Said and were taken on
by each detachment as it arrived. As
many of the ships as it may be deemed
desirable, or all of them if needed,
will be ready as soon as coaled to pro
ceed to Messina.
The readiness of our navy for any
duty is the important point to be ob
served. Those who saw the fleet steam
into Suez remarked that, despite their
long voyage, the ships looked as if
just out of harbor for a naval review.
The general ant* correct Impression
made by all these incidents is that our
fleet is all right—except, of course, on
paper. On every sea, save that de
scribed in the ten-cent magazines, our
fleet is visibly ready for any sort, of
duty. All the world sees it so. Only
some Americans are blind.
For the Country's Welfare.
The recurring confusion, waste and
uncertainty of those periodical
wrestles with the tariff can be stopped
when congress has the welfare of the
country enough at heart to stop them.
It is for congress to define the prin
ciple on which the tariff revision shall
be conducted, just as the Republican
platform defines it on a protective
basis. Then let expert testimony set
tle what the duty shall be, on that
basis, by impartial and exact investi
gation of the cost of production, actu
al labor ce>st and comparative rates of
profit. When each schedule is thus
disposed of by itself the periexlical
halts of business to get the tariff re
vised will be abolished.—Pittsburg
Dispatch.
