THE DIVORCE PROBLEM.
A clergyman college professor stren
uously protests against divorce and
urges the necessity of a marriage tie
that can be broken only by death. No
sane person who honestly has at heart
the best interests of society in gen
eral will differ from the professor, but
the difficulty with his proposition is
that it begins in the wrong place. If
the church and the law paid half the
attention to marriage that they do to
divorce the divorce problem would be
reduced to a mighty small minimum.
The blind, halt and foolish are permit
ted to wed without let or hindrance.
The state and the church make no in
quiry whatever, says the Chicago Eve
ning Journal. Anyone—even those
manifestly unfit to marry —can be
wedded on request, a condition which
manifestly makes for marital unrest
and dissatisfaction, and is largely pro
ductive of divorce. Give marriage
•more safeguards, and the courts will
find much less necessity to interfere
with family relations. But those who
expect to remove the effect without
eliminating the cause are attempting a
task very near the impossible.
According to an iron trade bulletin,
devoted to Mexican development, it
appears that the iron industry in that
country is capable of wonderful expan
sion, says the New York Financier.
The celebrated iron mountain of Du
rango, the Carro del Mercado, is of
world-wide fame and it is claimed to
be one of the most valuable iron de
posits in the world, both as to quality
and quantity. It is estimated to con
tain 300,000,000 tons of 70 per cent, ore
above the level of the plains. There
Is another mountain near the mouth
of the Ralsas river which is valuable
largely because of its accessibility to
the sea and, therefore, to the markets
of the world. This mountain is be
lieved to contain over one billion me
tric tons of ore low in phosphate and
averaging more than GO per cent, of
iron. Other deposits in the mineral
regions of Mexico indicate possible
yields of several hundred million tons
of high-grade ore, and along the Pacific
coast there are equally valuable de
posits.
It is evident that the transatlantic
steamers are getting to the limit of
achievement as to speed when a mat
ter of 50 seconds clipped from a run is
heralded as a shortening of the time
between the two continents. This rec
ognition of a mere shaving of time in
the running is not reconcilable with
the wasting hours after the completion
of the rushing voyages, before taking
the ships to dock in New York city.
This inconsistency is no longer glar
ing, because the steamers are now
taken to the docks ut night instead of
waiting for the return of daylight; but
there is time enough lost at the ter
minals to make the saving of 50 sec
onds by a rush across the sea "look
like 30 cents."

TRUE TO PLEDGES
PRESIDENT TAFT WILL KEEP
FAITH WITH PEOPLE.
Conclusive Answer to Critics Who
Have Said He Had Lost Interest
in Doctrines He had For
mally Indorsed
The earnest warning given the par
ty of the administration, the party so
long in power at Washington that its
control seems unlimited, in the pres
ident's speech at Yale, to the uliunni
of that university, ought to be accept
ed everywhere as evidence that Mr.
Taft is not unmindful of the Repub
lican pledges made during the last na
tional campaign. It is clear that he
does not forget his own promises, in
behalf of his party. It is equally plain
that he does not believe any political
organization can remain in power, in
this country, without deserving the
confidence and support of the people.
The Yale address ought to end all
talk of the president's carelessness
about party responsibilities. It ought
to silence the voices which have ac
cused him of being indifferent to the
problems which were forced to the
front in the last presidential cam
paign. Mr. Taft should be given a
fair chance to show what his policies
and his methods really are before he
is condemned by those who jump to
the conclusion that he does not mean
to be true, in every sense, to the doc
trines which he indorsed and accepted
when he was a candidate for the great
office which came to him so easily.
The present administration is only
a few months old. The time is not
enough to make a record which can
go far in determining the fruits of the
Taft term —or terms. It is only fair
and sensible to wait for more definite
and conclusive evidence of the tenden
cies and results of the president's
work in the White House. His meth
ods are quiet and deliberate. He is
not spectacular. He does not make
much stir in his efforts to reach an
appointed goal. Hut the real test is
whether or not he will accomplish
what he undertakes, and whether he
holds his course along the lines he
himself laid down, before his election
and afterward.
As yet condemnation certainly takes
too much for granted. Common fair
ness demands that the administration
be given more time to bring about re
forms in taxation and to prove that it
will not fail to enforce and follow up
the Roosevelt policies in enforcing
obedience to law and respect for jus
tice in business affairs, of national
scope and importance. Nothing has
happened yet to show that President
Taft is less devoted to the "square
deal" than Theodore Roosevelt was.
The Tariff and the Future.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-
Union, commenting on the Star's pre
diction that no permanent divisions in
either party are likely to result from
the present more or less bitter tariff
controversy, says:
"The division in Democratic ranks
has been greatly exaggerated. Louisi
ana lias elected to congress a number
of Republicans who claim to be Demo
crats, but who, as far as we can re
member, have voted with the Repub
licans on every division that has been
made during the present session.
These men should not be permitted in
the Democratic caucus. They vote
with the Republicans; they should
bear the Republican stamp, and if
Louisiana wishes to send them back
to congress as Republicans she has a
perfect right to do so; but no delega
tion representing the views that these
men entertain should be permitted to
take part in a Democratic conven
tion."
This is much too severe on the Dou
isianans. They have not gone beyond
Democrats from other southern states
except in gratitude and the full cour
age of convictions. Asking protection
for the principal industry of their own
state, they have voted protection in
return to the industries of other
states. \\ hy not? Besides, they are
not the first Louis iana Democrats to
take that position in congress. t Sugar
lias always colored—Dutch colored, if
you please—the tariff views and votes
of the people of the state of both par
ties. And, with <ither party In power,
sugar has always been remembered
in the day of tariff revision.
Asking the Impossible.
Our free trade editors are captious
as usual about tariff revision. Here
is one in Xew York demanding that
President Taft treat the forthcoming
hill according to this sentiment In a
speech of his last December:
"Better no revision at all, better
that the new hill should fail, unless
we have an honest and thorough re
vision on the basis laid down and the
principles outlined in the party plat
form."
It ought to be clear to the densest
comprehension that as a practical
proposition it is impossible for this
session of congress to produce a bill
on the basis and according to the
rule of rats measurement stated In the
platform.
Honest, downward revision we can
have, and doubtless shall have.
But to demand that the platform
pi ineiple ot diffetence 'n labor cost
here and abroad be consistently ap
plied to the schedules is to demand
the impossible. Why? Simply he
because congress lacks the data nec
essary to determining that differential.
There was no permanent tariff com
mission at work to supply it with the
data, and without such a commission
we ihall never get a scientific tariff
with a broad basis of accurately and
impartially ascertained and collated
facts.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 29, *909-
INCOME OR CORPORATION TAX?
If the Country Declares for the For
mer, Additional Revenue May
Not Be Needed.
How long will the corporation tax
remain on the statute books?
The president's recommendation to
congress was in obedience to a condi
tion, and not to his wishes. Had the
coast been clear he would have rec
ommended an income tax. He not
only believes such a tax constitution
al, but incomes a proper source of
revenue. And he wants the new tariff
bill to make ample provision for the
support of the government.
Hut he could not afford to ask con
gress to buck the supreme court.
There stood the adverse decision of
the court in the premises, and while
Taft the lawyer differed with the
court, Taft the president bowed to the
tribunal. The only way around was
by asking an expression at the polls
for a change in the constitution. That
the president recommended, and that
congress is expected to adopt.
We shall witness in the canvass of
the states on this subject what is
called a great effort. The proposition
is comparatively new. Taxing in
comes in a time of peace attracted no
particular attention when advanced by
the Populists, appearing, as the sug
gestion did, along with a suggestion
about governmental loans to farmers
on growing or harvested crops, and on
fat cattle.
But when the Democrats "lifted" the
proposition in 1894 and made it a fea
ture of their tariff revision of that
year, the country took serious notice;
and since then much discussion has
played around the subject. It has un
doubtedly grown in power, and the
friends of the proposition believe it
will carry in the coming contest.
If it does carry, shall we see its
friends move in congress for a substi
tution of the income tax for the cor
poration tax? It would seem altogeth
er likely. The corporation tax is pro
posed as an emergency measure in
two senses. First the treasury deficit
is considered, and then the existing
handicap of the supreme court deci
sion carried by the income tax. Re
move the handicap, and a contest be
tween the income tax and the corpora
tion tax. should follow.
But there is one other matter to be
considered. Suppose the customs fea
tures of the new iaw prove sufficient
in themselves to meet the govern
ment's requirements. Suppose it turns
out that the corporation tax was not
needed and can be dispensed with.
Should not the proposition then be,
not as to the substitution of the in
come tax for the corporation tax, but
the simple repeal of the latter, leaving
the customs schedules to take care of
the revenues? A big treasury surplus
is not desirable; and the only strength
the corporation tax now possesses is
based upon the belief that, despite the
opinion and assurances of Mr. Aid
rich, the schedules as revised would
not raise the money required.—Wash
ington Star.
No Great Democrats Left.
Grover Cleveland is dead. That is
very apparent. Controlling votes have
been cast by Democrats at the present
session of congress against about
every principle and policy that Cleve
land stood for.
Those two great southern Demo
crats of full statesmanlike stature,
John T. Morgan and Edmund W*. Pet
"tus, are dead. L. Q. C. Lamar is dead.
William L. Wilson is 'dead; nobody
could doubt that at the present mo
ment.
That fine Missourian of eloquent and
human speech, George G. Vest, is
dead. John \P. Palmer, Illinois' grand
old Democratic patriot, is dead. A. G.
rhurman, Ohio's noble Roman, is
dead.
The crafty but wise Gorman is dead.
William E. Russell, the pure and fear
less paladin of Massachusetts vic
torious young Democracy, before
whom the bars of party opposition fell
like reeds, is dead. James C. Carter,
the peer of the jurists and publicists
ol the past, is dead.
We shall not extend the sad list. All
the great Democrats seem to be dead.
What has the party left in congress?
j Mainly a pitiful lot of temporizers and
demagogues, of assistant apologists
I lor the continual surrender of their
| own principles.
I The ghosts of the greet aw whose
| names we have mentioned, or their
j painted portraits on 'ho walls, would
I be worthier representatives of their
| party than they.—New York Mail.
German Interest in Our Tariff.
I Of course, German as well as Eng
j lish and French manufacturers are in
terested in American tariff legislation.
So is the German government, which
always is striving to promote German
industry and trade. But there is noth
ing to indicate that any foreign man
ufacturer or government has over
stepped bounds and been guilty of
what could properly be called "imper
tinent" conduct in connection with
I the pending tariff bill. Ir. certainly
| was not "impertinent" for the German
government to do what it was asked
j to do.
| The information it transmitted and
i which the finance committee -would
I have suppressed is to be printed. Then
American consumers may be better
able to judge whether the proper de
gree or protection is being awarded
certain domestic manufacturers.
That starling Democratic organ of
public opinion, the Charleston News
and Courier, admits that South Caro
| lina tea ne its a little protection; not
I much, but just enough.
| Mr. Bryan comes right out in eo!d
; print that he "wants no more newspa

| man—take care o' yourself.

PLAN TIT WILL
HELP FARMERS
SMALL BILLS DEMANDED BY
BANKS FOR CROP MOV
ING PURPOSES.
NATIONAL BANKS CAN ASSIST
Treasury Department Can Issue New
$1 Silver Certificates in Exchange
for Silver Certificates of Larger
Denominations.
Washington, D. C. —The co-opera
tion of the national banks with the
treasury department in furnishing
small bills to meet the demands grow
ing out of the movement of the crops
in various sections of the country is
urged in a statement given out at the
treasury department. The relief
sought is to have the national bunks
issue $5 bank notes to their legal limit
in place of the larger denominations
and then to exchange their $"«. certifi
cates for $1 silver certificates of equal
aggregate value. The statement fol
lows :
"The usual fall demand is being
made on the treasury department by
the banks for a supply of small bills
for crop moving purposes. To meet
this demand the treasury can issue
new $1 silver certificates in exchange
for silver certificates of larger denom
inations which are sent to the treasury
for that purpose. An unusual supply
of small bills has been prepared to
meet this season's demand, and the
banks can materially assist tiie treas
ury by effecting the exchange of their
large silver certificates for -smaller
bills at an early date, rather than by
waiting until the crop moving season
actually begins.
"It lies within the power of the na
tional banks of the country to render
further material assistance in this
matter. Banks are permitted under
the law to take out 33 1-3 per cent of
their circulation in $5 bank notes, or
about $200,000,000. They have availed
themselves of this privilege only to the
extent of 19 per cent, or about
000,000; therefore the national banks
could, if they desired, increase their
supply of s.j bank notes by $94,000,000.
"In some instances it would involve
the banks in the small expense and
trouble of having plates engraved for
$5 bank notes. But the banks would
undoubtedly incur this expense and
trouble if they fully understood how
much it lies in their power to relieve
the scarcity of $1 bills. For if the
banks were to issue as many s."i bank
notes as they can legally do instead of
issuing larger demonination3. it would
supply the banks with $5 bank notes
and enable them to send to the treas
ury their $5 silver certificates to be
exchanged for $1 silver certificates. As
in the case of money forwarded for
redemption, the banks can effect these
exchanges at no other cost than the
express charges at government con
tract rates."
BREADSTUFF PRICES EASIER
Larger Demand for Money for Crop-
Moving Purposes—Good Distri
bution at Retail.
New York City.—Bradstreet's says:
Improvment in the crops, rather
better advices as to ultimate out
come of the leading cereals, easing
in prices of breadstuffs, consequent
thereon or because of larger wheat
crop movement, a good distribution at
retail under the stimulus of clearance
sales and a slight enlargement of fall
trade with jobbers and wholesalers
are the leading features this week.
Connected therewith in some degree
are the advices from leading indus
tris of enlargement of output, of a
continuance ol' the upward tendency
in values of manufactured goods, a
larger demand for money for crop
moving purposes, and a perceptible
increase in tlie friction visible be
tween employers and employes in a
number of lines. This latter is a nat
ural phenomena of the industrial sit
uation.
