Protest Is Allowable, But Repudiation of Duties Is Looked Upon as a Display of Littleness Not to Be Permitted. President Taft in his third sermon j in the series of discourses upon moral themes that has marked his intinerary took for his text "Personal Restraint." j In the home, in the shop, at the coun-; tor —everywhere the man who can say , no at the right time is above tempta- j tion. The man who can say yes at the j right time has the field of opportunity j before him. In the little things of man's varied relations is found the' key to character. When he has | thrown aside his habiliments as presi dent of the United States, or judge, or clerk, or laborer; when he is in the home and his most intimate nature is revealed, the real test is applied to a man. Mr. Taft referred to the impa tient, snappish answer of a husband to a tired wife, admitted he had not been above the fault of shortness in replies and condemned such things as indications of an inaptitude for re straint which, if not corrected, makes its appearance in the larger relations of life. "He who conquers himself is great er than he who taketh a city." Such was the suggestive text for the presi dential discourse. There are many persons who regard a position of pow er as relieving them of the common amenities and considerations of life. They become puffed up and concerted or opinionated and intolerant.. Such persons, by seeking to repress the in dividuality of others, tend to lower the plane of life expression, and by their illustration of the spirit of in tolerance and peevishness, of envy, spite, retaliation or revenge, demean life and lower its standards. Mr. Taft does not preach a goody goody. but a practical gospel of mutu ality and helpfulness. He declared in the Fresno discourse for respect for the will of the majority. Yet, on the other hand, he remarks the true strength and dignity of sentiment is found when the majority respects the minority voice. It is the petty and grasping, the self-seeking and sordid who seek no entrench themselves in political «r any other kind of power by denying to the voice of the minor ity the consideration that, such voice deserves. After all, the majority rules, but unless it is corrected and checked by the minority it is an autocracy rather than a representative and cred itable force. Mr. Taft regards as pusillanimous a minority that takes to the woods when beaten instead of sturdily fighting the battle from such vantage ground as is left it: doing the work of protest and criticism and taking hold of such levers as it may grasp. The mere re pudiation of duties because they are not. paramount, of responsibilities be cause they are not crucial, he regards as a species of littleness that should not be displayed in a land of liberty and individuality. Such doctrine is sound; it is good tonic, and those who grasp the president's viewpoint of con trol and restraint have acquired a I breadth of philosophy and ethics that will enable them to do their full share in every phase in life. —Balti- more American. Bryan Is It. What is the use, asks William Jen nings Bryan, in his supreme satisfac tion with his representative charac ter as a Democrat, for the Democratic party to hold a conference to mark out measures? Certainly the great commoner is well within bounds log ical when he reasons that he has not diminished a whit in his power of originating policies, while the party has not advanced a jot in its ability to do more than harp upon the lonesome string of Cleveland principles. Mr. Bryan is not assured that any national conference would have truly repre sentative character, by which, of course, is meant he has no assurance that it would have an overwhelming majority of Bryanites in it. Mr. Bryan is too busy in coining speech into currency to give attention Just now to wizardizlng a convention assembled for the mere matter of talk ing. He has his talk classified by this time and it is not the season for an output of gratuitous afflatus upon po litical subjects. He must cut his winter wheat while the chautauqua sun is shining. Mr. Bryan is a wise politician and knows that the times and periods that govern his appear ances in the political Held are as ac curately guided by conditions as the recurrence of the seasons. This may be the winter of the party's discon tent, but the sun of serenity ever halos the brow of the man who, when his party is floundering and seeking to find stable ground, remarks: "Oh, what is the use? I'll come along with a sheaf of enthusiasm after awhile and an entire new draft of policies ready made for the party." Party Voters with the President. Taft's position is impregnable as a choice of tactics in party leadership. The party voters will be pleased with the president's exposition of party duties. They will sustain the party majority and keep it in power. There Is not a doubt that his constructive, definite, moderate views, contrasted with the demoralizing, vindictive, up setting purpose of the opposing Demo cratic organization, embody the pref erence of the average American voter By pursuing this course Mr. Taft will have persuaded and conquered Repub lican opinion in the west. —Omaha Dec (Rep.). CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER n, 1909. THE ARMY AND THE CITIZEN Memories of Self-Sacrifices Are Worth Much to the People of Any Country. At a banquet of the Illinois Sons of the American Revolution Gen. Grant said: "When a people cast aside sen timents of patriotism and ideals of loyalty they become sordid, and sor didness marches hand in hand with vice." The general said that the youth of the country should be taught to revere the memories of the men who had fought for principle. With monuments dotting the land in recognition of the services of heroes of war and peace it might seem that the general's advice Is not needed, it is needed, however, and the sharpness of the neeti lias been more manifest in the last ten years than ever before. President Taft found it necessary to plead for decent treatment for the army. An underpaid organization for ten years has been lacing death and disease in tropical countries, has done its duty faithfully and its reward has been the frequent sneer. It is impossible to read the story of the fight in front, of Santiago, Cuba, and Ihen to understand the tendency of the people to belittle it and to withhold the praise that Is due the soldiers who fought in it. The Sixth regular infantry in a few hours of he roic lighting lost 13 officers and 105 men, about 20 per cent, of the light ing force of the organization. After the battle of Santiago, in seek ing to cast ridicule on one man whom it did not like, a newspaper spoke of the First volunteer cavalry as "the Rough Riders who never rode." From this it was taken for granted by the unthinking that the volunteer cavalry had borne no worthy part in the fight. The sneer has lived and it shows itself frequently. The Rough Riders lost six officers and Si men in the battle. They advanced t,o the fight on foot, as did every other cavalry organization thut was engaged. The commanding officer who would have sent mounted regiments into that fight would have been a fool and a criminal. The men who goto the front, are heroes at the time of the fighting. The people cannot do too much for them. They deserve respect for what they have done even in the days when the wars seem :t long way off. The mem ories of self-sacrifice are worth some thing to any country. Reviving American Shipping. President Taft's advocacy of mild experiments in the subsidizing of American merchant ships has not awakened very many responsive thrills. The out-and-out advocates of ship subsidies realize that under the crippling operations of the American navigation laws strong stimulants are needed if results are to be gained. While to make a beginning would give them hope of large and important subsidies to come, it is going to bo difficult to convince inland constitu encies of receptive congressmen that measures ineffective in themselves are intrinsically worth while. There is no doubt at all that the American flag ought to be restored to the seas. To say that the high wages of American shipwrights and Ameri can seamen put the American mer chant marine at a hopeless disadvan tage is easy, hut not necessarily accu rate. Good wages bring superior serv ice. There is. however, no offset to needless expense of materials for ships. If efforts equal to those put forth to get subsidies out of the national treasury were directed to overcoming by wise legislation the fundamental causes of the decay of the American merchant marine it is likely that sub stantial progress would come without much delay. President Taft should consider well this side of the question. Since be announces that he will join in the task of reviving American shipping he should not rest content with merely urging subsidies to a few ship owners out of the insufficient, funds of the post office department.—Chicago Itec ord-Uerald (Ind. Rep.). Setting It Straight. Gen. Robert Shaw Oliver, assist ant secretary of war, officially dis credits the recent report from the war department that because of the dis abilities and difficulties experienced in the war game in Massachusetts there were to be no more joint, maneuvers by the regular army and state guards. The department, he says, has not the slightest intention of varying from the plans previously made and followed. But there will be a modification that will, he hopes, avoid the troubles en countered in Massachusetts. The officers of the war department having jurisdiction over the inst ruction and training of the National Guard or ganizations have decided that here after only picked men shall be allowed to participate. The medical officers of the guard will bo directed to make more stringent medical examination of recruits entering the militia, and no member not physically able to stand the str.»in will be allowed to take part in tlie maneuvers. Further, only such state organizations as prove in the camps of instruction fit to take part and competent in their work will be given the privilege. This is a more sensible course than that first announced of abandoning the joint maneuvers altogether, which, however, was then .-aid to he based upon the -conclusion that the results were not worth the hardship experi enced by unfitted guardsmen. The ef feet of the modification will be te eliminate the physically unlit and to train or eliminate the incompetent. The discrimination must tend to an improvement of the standard of the state troops and work for progress all along the line. iSUllßfl i OF iii IWEEK'S EVENTS) • • • • • • • Latest News of Interest • • • * Boiled Down for the j • Busy Man, ! e a PERSONAL.

GIVES AWAY URGE SUM JOHN STUART KENNEDY LEAVES S2E.COO.COO TO CHARITIES. Presbyterian Church and Colleges Will be the Beneficieries of Fortune from Man Who Rose from Bottom. Now York City.—Starting as an errand boy in Glasgow, Scotland, John Stuart Kennedy died in New York re cently worth $60,000,000. His will, filed for probate November ." by Rob ert W. Deforrest, one of his utors, and who drew the Scotchman's last testament, bequeaths $25,000,000 to public charities. Mr. Kennedy had risen from errand boy to shipping clerk when he came to New York nearly U0 years ago as the representative of a Scotch shipping firm. He amassed his great fortune mainly through shrewd and far-sighted railroad investments. Broadly r,peak ing he leaves a little more than one quarter of his entire estate to his wife, Emma 13. Kennedy, who survives him. a little more than another quarter to relatives and friends, and gives .some thing less than one-half to various charitable, religious, benevolent and educational institutions. Mr. Kennedy was one of th< little known rich men of America.
