Tn Belooehistan, when a physician gives a dose, he is expected to par take of a similar one himself as a guarantee of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands, the relatives though they rarely exercise it, have the right of putting liitn to death, unless a special agreement has been made freeing him from all re sponsibility as to consequences; while, if they should decide upon immolating him, he is fully expected to yield to his fate like a man. Stick to Your Business. Stick to your legitimate business. Do not go into outside operations. Pew men have brains for more than one thing. To dabble in stocks, put a few thousand dollars in a mine, a few more into a factory and a few more into an invention is enough to ruin any man. Do not be greedy. Be content with fair returns. Make friends. All the money in the world is not worth so much to you as one good stanch friend. Henry Ward Beeclier. Elected in a Belfry. The ceremony of electing a mayor in a belfry was performed according to ancient custom in the parish church of Brightlingsea, wnen Mr. Arthur Lucas was chosen in succes sion to Rev. Arthur Petwee, vicar of Brightlingsea, and six mariners who had married Brightlingsea women were admitted freemen of the port on payment of 11 pennies into the treasury.—London Standard. Man's Rare Forethought. An extraordinary case of suicide has set all the people of Beziers, France, a-talking. The victim was Henri Felaqtiier, an engraver, who was to have been married in a few days. In a letter left by the suicide he stated that he had taken his own life because he was afraid that, owing to bis peevish disposition, he might make his wife unhappy. Salaries of Army Officers.

MUST BE THE BEST PRESIDENT TAFT'S POSITION ON JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS. Party Preferment and Personal Opion ion Both Subordinated to the Best Interest of the Whole People. The retirement for age of more than one justice of the supreme court may be expected during President Taft's administration. It becomes of inter est, then, to know what he thinks of liis responsibility as a judge maker and how he will discharge it. Mr. Taft enlightens the country in the following letter to Judge Horace 11. Lurton read at the dinner given to Judge Lurton by the Nashville Hoard of Trade: "It is just the simple truth to tell you that the chief pleasure of my ad ministration, as I have contemplated it in the past, has been to commission you a justice of the supreme court; and I never had any other purpose and was never shaken in it until there was presented to me the challenge whether I was not gratifying my per sonal desires at the expense of public interest in putting a judge of your age upon the bench under present conditions. For this reason 1 took back my determination to appoint you. wiped It off the slate and ';nve two or three days to the introspective pro cess to know whether I was yielding to personal preference and affection at the expense of the public. 1 became convinced that I was not—that the circumstances justified the departure from the ordinary rule, and that I had the right to gratify my personal pre dilection by doing what I have done, because the motive in doing it includ ed a desire to strengthen that court as much as I could strengthen it." Mr. Taft seems to hold the view that his responsibility will end when he appoints the best lawyer he can find, lie i 3 not going to concern him self about the political opinions of his selections or conjecture what their interpretation of the constitution will be in celebrated cases. The truth is that a supreme court justice not infre quently delivers an opinion that sur prises those who believe they know most about the man and his point of view. The essential thing in Mr. Taft's judgment is to put able and ex perienced lawyers on the bench, men of independence and known high char acter. For the rest, he is willing to take whatever risk there may be in volved in the new justice's political and social ideas. Country Owes Debt to Marines. Whether the occasion be the pres ence of calamity such as comes when a volcanic eruption overruns a coun try or the rise of a tidal wave that brings sudden desolation to a com munity, the ready marines are at hand to inspire confidence, to restore order and to administer the assistance of the country whose flag they proudly represent. Often has the marine been the minister of good cheer, the car rier of the benevolences of the nation to pest or famine ridden communities. He has never shirked a task; he has never clamored for awards; he has simply done his duty to the full. What the difference to him whether the place be Panama or Nicaragua, China or the African coast, he is ready to do that service which falls peculiarly to his lot. And the country does not have occasion to distrust his loyalty, no matter what the climate, what the hardship. He is trained to feats of arms; he is trained to endure hard ship; he is trained to perform the obscure service. When hostilities arise with Spain what corps is first turned to? It is the marine corps already on the spot and ready for service. The marines are prepared, even if only two or three in number, with an officer to inspire them and a flag to uphold, to stand by the colors and to face the foe. He showed this in signal instances in that memorable strife. Democratic Harmony. Contemporaries that declare we are in disagreement with Mr. Bryan do us an injustice. Excepting free raw materials, prohibition, govern ment ownership of railroads, the initi ative and referendum, federal char ters for corporations, government guarantee of bank deposits, federal ownership of telegraphs, government payment of campaign expenses, and several other things of more or less importance, we are in entire agree ment with Mr. Bryan.—Houston Post (Dem.) One Democratic Family in Clover. What an impressive sight it must be for a Democratic senator to walk into the conference room and behold: Senator Money, chairman of the con ference; Hernando D. Money, Jr., as sistant conference fJerk; Miss Money, messenger. We call the New York Tribune to witness that the Lord has taken care of at least one Democratic family. Needs a New Pilot. Col, Watterson plaintively remarks that he is trying now and will goon trying to save the old Democratic Ship of Zion from shipwreck. The trouble seems to be not so much a lee f-hore as perfectly ridiculous navigation. Always An Exception. Mr. Bryan expresses his disapproval of the idle rich. Yet Mr. Bryan is rich and chiefly engaged in an idle effort to be president.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1910 AS ROOSEVELT SEES AFRICA Errors in English Government That the United States May Easily Avoid. Ex-President Roosevelt pauses for a moment in his stories of the chose in Scribner's magazine to discuss African politics, commenting in interesting fashion on the rule of the white man in the dark continent, and looking to the future development of the races' and of the country. Col, Roosevelt is sure that English rule lias been of in calculable benefit to the Africans themselves. He believes, Indeed, that Africa is better off in most instances where the government of the people lias passed to European powers, even in the face of many mistakes, proceed ing at least as often, he says, from zeal to accomplish too much in the way of beneficence as from a desir*;- to exploit the natives. Col. Roosevelt is convinced that the British error, as lie says America's has been in dealing with its savage peoples, lies in interfering too little with their tribal customs and prac tices, often immoral and repulsive. While much may bo argued for this policy, he says, fussy and ill-consid ered benevolence being more certain to awaken resentment than cruelty it self, he is confident, that more can be done than is being done in pushing the African tribes upward. The slow pace, however, lie traces to British policy, not to the men in power. These lie finds in every way worthy. Though under the most jealous scrutiny from settlers and government officials only too willing to criticise every sin of omission or commission, Col. Roosevelt declares that the mis sionaries in Africa, as a class, are do ing a splendid work of uplift. He is sure, however, that industrial training and a gradual elevation of the mind and character of the natives must pre cede the spread of any Christianity worth the name. Much has been done, much remains to be done, and com mon sense and disinterestedness on the part of the missionaries, he finds, are absolutely necessary. Not for Us. There is a peculiar estimate of the hunger of the United States for more islands in the report that Russia hopes to sell its northern half of the island of Saghalien to this country. The story is that Russia finds that bleak and inaccessible remnant that it res cued from the wreck of the Japanese war of no value and not worth the expense of keeping. Wherefore it puts the property on the market, with the expectation that we will buy it. Let it not lay that flattering unction to its soul. There is every reason to believe that the appetite of this nation for islands was fully satisfied ten years ago. We find much more valuable pos sessions than Saghalien only a bother and expense. Even the neighboring islands of the Caribbean group are not looked upon so ardently as at the be goinning of the century. So remote and valueless a piece of real estate as northern Saghalien we would not ac cept as a gift. If Russia wishes to get rid of that property let her offer it to Japan for what it is worth—which is close to nothing at all. See Danger in Over Haste. There is a strong movement to amend and change the Sherman law, and it is greatly to be feared that cnce commenced the amendments and changes may goto the effect of de priving it of all power and vitality. It lay dormant so long that nobody gave it attention, much less did any trust fear it, but since it has proven to be a live wire there is great anxiety to get rid of it. If it could be so amend ed as to forbid, under heavy penalties, combinations and contracts for the purpose of stifling competition, so that every improper and injurious method for controlling the markets be madi illegal, and every proper agency of free competition protected, all might be well, but the evil influences thftt demand a change are more numerous and more powerful than are the good, and, therefore, there is a great risk in attempting any change.—New Or leans Picayune. - > Take Care of Naval Reserve. Until now the militia has been looked on chiefly with regard to its possibilities as a reserve for the reg ular army. Important as this is, the naval militia is also of great import ance, and it is yearly getting to be more so. Kvery year two more giant battle ships are authorized and nuirer ous smaller vessels. The scarcity of good men toman them is a scource of constant trouble for the navy officers in time of war the lack of trained ma terial would ba much more trouble some. It might cost us a fleet. The value of a trained man over a raw on 6 on such a complicated piece of ma chinery as a battle ship is apparent. Where Burglars Are Unknown. Consul Edward J. Norton of Malaga cannot encourage American safe niak ers to attempt the building up of a trade in that district of southern Spain. He writes as follows: Not over half a dozen American-made safes could be found in this entire consular district, and the outlook for tiie development of the safe trade is not an encouraging one. The demand for safes generally is extremely ligh- Many business men possess nothing in the way of a safe for the protectioj: of valuables or books.

REAL HEIRESS OF THE WEST Miss Jennie Crocker by the Death of Relatives Has Fortune of $11,000,000. San Francisco.—Miss Jennie Crocker of San Francisco is the real heiress of the west, and all other young women of money and millions are merely frac tional luminaries. Miss Crocker has $10.000,000, plus probably a million or two more—and some pearl necklaces. Miss Crocker inherited sr>,ooo,ooo from the estate of her father, the late Fred Crocker. On the death of her sister, Mrs. Mary Crocker Harrison, she inherited nearly $2,000,000, and now, from the estate of her uncle, Beorge Crocker, who died in New York, she will inherit between $2,500,- HOO and $3,000,000. That makes $lO,- 000,000 easily. But added to that is the matter of era fs |\ the increase, what the Britisli parlia mentarians are now, in the language of Henry George, calling "the un earned increment." The unearned and the hard earned increment of Miss Crocker's fortune is several millions, for the Crocker estate company shrewdly invests its money where it will earn dividends, and the properties it holds in San Francisco and else where are busy multiplying the for tune of the California heiress. So Miss Crocker can afford to lose pearl necklaces with impunity. Even if the necklaces were not found on the following day Miss Crocker could lose 300 of the baubles to the value of $30,- 000 jewels she misplaced a few months ago. and still have $1,000,000 or so to invest in polo ponies and Boston ter riers. Her brother, Charles Templeton Crocker, is practically as rich as is his sister. BOY PIANIST IS A WONDER Pepito Arriolo, Who Begzn Playing at the Age of Three, Visits America. New York.—Pepito Arriolo, the boy pianist who has delighted hundreds of music lovers in the east, undoubtedly is a remarkable youngster. He was born at Barcelona December 14, 18!)6, and he showed such astumshing mus ical instinct that when he was 2V a years old he was examined in Paris by "an erudite and austere body of phrenologists," and the remarkable formation of his head excited thir won der. At the age of three he began to play the piano and compose. Arthur Nik isch, who was conducting in Spain became acquainted with him, secured for him a stipend from the court of Spain and took him to Leipsic for thorough instruction. Pepito studied for a year in Berlin with Moritz Mayer-Mahr, and on March 28, 1906, played Beethoven's concerto in C minor with orchestra, at a charity con cert in the Philharmonic hall of that city. Ho played in London in 1906 and again in June of this year, but he lias not been foolishly exploited for the sake of gain. He is said to be like the Mischa Elman of the first years, in this, that he is not only an extraordinary virtuoso for his age, but one extraordinarily endowed with musical taste and feeling. Deeds of Youths. At 20, Tintoretto was one of the most prolific and popular painters in Italy; Schelling had grappled with the philosophy of Kant; Galileo hp.J dis covered the use of the pendulum; La fayette was a major general, and Gar rison voiced emancipation for the slave.
