The latest instance of errors 1a spelling by a class qualifying for ad mittance to a leading western univer sity is widely interpreted by the press as an evidence of insufficient training in that Important element by aca demies and high schools. We think a little study of the showing may greatly diminish the force of the this opinion. The university in question is of a size that makes 150 a moderate estimate of those seeking to qualify in the fresh man class. To such a class a list of 100 words was submitted as a test of spelling. The list of errors shows 12 words mispelled 30 times, or an aver age of 2Ms times to each word, says Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. But if there were 150 students spelling 100 words this would Indicate a percent age of error to all the words spelled iby all of the students of one-tenth of one per cent. Of course, this calcula tion as to the proportion of students who were weak in spelling is guess work until we know exactly how many students took the test and how many made more than one error. But con sidering that the student who was so gifted in that line as to spell "accessi ble" "axsesible" probably was the one 'who spelled "municipal" "munislpple," and "glacier" "glashear," it indicates that the percentage of those who are weak is not over 5 to 10 per cent, of •the whole. The New York city employe who wanted his salary cut 15 per cent, was not such a freak after all. He had a string tied to the offer. What he asked for was a general revision downward, not to exclude the controller's own pay, expressing a willingness to suffer '.himself if the rest did, and explaining why all of them ought to. Evidently he felt safe in anticipating the answer, which was a quick-fire decision by the controller that he had no authority in law to make any such change of sal ary scale. AB things turned out, the city employe got a neat little indict ment of public salary methods into print and kept his own wage intact. Whatever else may be eald about the policy pursued in Korea by Japan, which has taken the "hermit • nation" ■under its wing, there will be no dissent as to the wisdom of providing good roads. Such highways are conveni ences which Korea has never known until now, and the fact furnishes one explanation of the slow development of that country. Public roads are among the first essentials to civiliza tion, and without them any land, no matter how blessed with natural ad vantages, must 'ag behind the proces sion. Nikola Tesla, who says he has been at work on the task for 20 years, al leges that a system of wireless electric light has been perfected by which it •will be possible to "light, the entire T'nited States." Tesla and other "wiz ards" have wrought some wonders, and what the inventor asserts is no more extraordinary than some previous pre dictions. Stil\ the average person will be willing to wait and see what comes of it all. Some Massachusetts folks say the mysterious light seen floating in the sky at night is the searchlight of Til linghast's flying machine, but others say it is only the flame of a small fire balloon. Thus does the old war be tween faith and skepticism continue to disturb the world, even at the hub. A Pittsburg police captain has solved a mystery by declaring that the al leged epidemic of hydrophobia among dogs is really only a form of Intoxica tion; speeding chauffeurs and dogs, says he, are made drunk by inhaling the fumes of gasoline. Soon we may look for either speed mania or hydro phobia among the birds. if we all put our money into circula tion with the same freedom that we devote to discriminating our favorite remedies for colds monetary strin gency will promptly become a lost iirt. ALL ROOSEVELT MEN TAFT, PINCHOT AND BALLINGER HIS SELECTIONS. Facts Good to Remember in Consid ering the Unfortunate Political Entanglement at the Na tional Capital. In the present political entangle ment at Washington it is well to re member just what the personal rela tions were which existed between the three central figures in the contro versy and the mighty hunter in equa torial Africa. It may help to keep the situation from becoming worse mixed in the public mind than it is already. Gifford Pinchot. who has been dis missed from his office as chief of the forestry bureau, is a great chum of the former president. Every one knows that who knows anything about governmental affairs. They played tennis together and visited frequent ly. Pinchot suited Theodore Roose velt thoroughly; there's no doubt of that. But all of this, except the tennis playing, is just as true of President Taft. He was Roosevelt's own choice for the highest office in the country. They were great friends for many years. Taft meant more to Roosevelt than Pinchot ever did. It was impos sible for the militant former head of the nation togo farther in behalf of Pinchot or any other man than he did in working for Taft's advancement to the White House. Secretary Ballinger, also, was ap pointed by Roosevelt when he was made commissioner of the general land office. He was not unearthed by Cannon or pushed forward by Al drlch. His national prominence came through the favor of Theodore Roose velt, although in the case of Ballinger it was not such a matter of personal knowledge and intimacy as it was when Taft was brought into the cab inet and Pinchot became a chum and trusted agent of the head of the gov ernment. President Taft and ex-Forester Pin chot are both Yale graduates, and both were "Bones" men at Yale. They have been friends for many years, and the president has repeatedly testified to his high esteem for the zealous head of the forestry work of the na tional government. More's the pity that they should fall out now. NEED OUR CATTLE AT HOME Under Present Conditions Germany's Embargo Really Is of Little Consequence. Just at present it would be difficult to incense American sentiment against Germany's stringent sanitary regula tion operating against the importation of American cattle. Nor can we see why our stock raisers (if they get their market rights at home), should excite themselves thereover. There is little doubt, frankly speak ing, that at the bottom the German inspection embargo against live cattle is largely a sop to the agrarian or agricultural interest which demands protection in the home market, and thus gets it indirectly. In the negotiations for a tariff un derstanding with Germany which would give her the benefit of our mini mum tariff she is evidently disposed to stand out for her present restric tions, insisting that they are sanitary regulations that apply to all imported cattle, and therefore are not discrim inative against ours. It seems to be a good point for our government to yield on. getting from Germany return concessions else where. Our cattle supply is below the normal domestic demand, and is like ly to remain so for years. Why should we insist on Germany's letting down the bars when we need all the beef cattle we can raise—and more, too? Most assuredly the point is not worth going to tariff war over with our very good friend and next best consumer.—M ilwaukee Sentinel. Let Us Have Facts, at Least. Unfortunately there is doubt that punishment can be inflicted upon all "the men higher up" concerned in the sugar trust scandal. .Most of the posi tive proof against them is of transac tions which occurred long enough ago to make the intervention of the stat ute of limitations a possibility. The latter deals have been covered up bet ter. though there is convincing evi dence of their existence. But. what ever is possible to be done should be done. At least there should be thorough Investigation and publicity. The public demands the facts and is entitled to them. Unique Democratic Section. "Down here," asserts the Savannah Press, "there is only one kind of Democracy." We congratulate the one section of the country that hasn't at least fifty-seven. Eulogies Out of Place. Beware of all spellbinders when they praise a public man at the expense of the party to which he belongs. Their enlogies are loaded. A man better than his party is either a dunderhead, blind to what is going on. or a hypo crite. accepting power with the pur pose of employing it against its be stowers. A man of intelligence and character leaves a party when he finds it has become degraded and the instrument of evil.-—Washington Even ing Star. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1910 FOR PORTO RICAN WELFARE Movement Begun to Give People of That Island Permanent Gov ernment of Their Own. After the lapse of ten years or more it seems likely that the government will seriously take up the condition of Porto Rico with a view of giving that territory or colony, or whatever it may be called, some form of perma nent law and government of its own and its people a known status as citi zens of the United States. Just why this was not done long ago is difficult to explain. Perhaps the powers that were were too busy properly to con sider the matter. But it appears now that the draft of a bill has been submitted to President Taft providing for a complete form of organic law for Porto Rico. It is un derstood that a citizenship clause giv ing the people of Porto Rico much the same advantage as is now enjoyed by the Hawaiians has been placed in the bill. Instead of attempting to amend the act of 1900, known as the Foraker act, it was decided to rebuild it. It has been torn to pieces and made over in'o a carefully worded bill, which, it is hoped, contains all the provisions for Porto Rican welfare which the lapse of a decade has shown to be necessary. The Olmstead law of the first session of congress is contained in the measure. Secretary Dickinson is said to have suggested certain changes in the legislative assembly of Porto Rico which will obviate the possibility of a deadlock such as oc curred a year ago, when it was neces sary for congress to pass an amend ment to the Foraker act permitting this government to intervene. It remains to be seen how compre hensive and just this proposed measure will be, but the fact that at last some thing definite and positive is to be at tempted ought to be an encourage ment to the people of Porto Rico. Indictments Go "Higher Up." The federal grand jury in New York does not agree with the directors of the American Sugar Company as to the innocence of all the executive of ficials of the concern, and returns an indictment against the secretary of the parent company. The public are not entitled to prejudge this particu lar case, but they have to be con vinced that subordinates, in absolute ly unrewarded zeal for the interests of their employers, would deliberately and continuously defraud the govern ment solely on their own responsibili ty. Nor can the public believe that the executive officials of the company, equipped "-Vith at least ordinary under standing of their business and of its reasonable capacity of profits would pass unnoticed these unwarranted earnings, without some knowledge of their source. New York has a great team of federal attorneys in Messrs. Stimson and Wise and the public star.d ready to applaud every step of progress made in this case.—New York Evening Post. Keep the Veterans in Service. The proposed naval personnel bill aims to put younger men in high com mand t»y a system of compulsory re tirement of ten per cent, of officers above the rank of lieutenant com mander each year. But when men stay in long enough to get beyond the rank of lieutenant commander they ought to be worth something to the service. A vigorous weeding in the lower ranks would accomplish great good by taking from the service the youngsters who demonstrate early that they are misfits. Power Belongs to Executive. It is interesting to note the reason why the senate committee decided not to recommend the consular reform bill. The intention was to write upon the statute books the way in which the president shall select appointees to the diplomatic and consular serv ice. The committee discovered that under the constitution the power of making these appointments belongs to the executive, and the legislative department possesses no authority to direct the manner in which he shall exercise it. Need of Fortifications. The fortification appropriation bill on its way through congress to the president carries $."1,817,000, a goodly sum that is more than $2,000,000 less than the amount appropriated for fortification by the last bill passed by congress. This money will be well spent, because when fortifications are constructed they are in position to stay, and do work equal to a number of battleships without entailing any thing like the cost of maintaining such floating forts. "Marse Henry" Annoyed. The Louisville Courier-Journal re fers to President Taft as "spoilsman, partisan, ouster of honest public serv ants. jury-packer, self-whitewasher." Something must have happened to Marse Henry that made him feel like exclaiming "Ouch!" Porto Rico. The Porto Ricans have been patient, and at last seem to be near a reward. Congress is to be asked to do some thing further for them, and a fair re sponse is a reasonable expectation. American markets, American citizen- I ship and American methods of gov i ernment should set the people firmly j 011 their feet, and enable them to ! make all the progress they desire foi J themselves and we should desire fov | them. Fine Wedding GOWTJLS By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. IT WAS their own great poet, Tenny son, who sang of the "splendor dear to women," and, judging from the gowns worn by English brides re cently, English women may well have inspired his verse. Ivory satin is the material nearly always chosen for the wedding gown by the English woman of social standing and she has a fond ness for court trains, silved embroid ery and old lace. So much concession Is gladly made to that all-powerful dictum, "it is the custom," which weighs so much with our English cousins and certainly makes for good in many cases. But she allows her self the widest range of variety in the design of her wedding gown and for those of iter bridesmaids and her own "going away" the very latest creation of the modiste is in demand. For the bridesmaids she often makes excur sions outside tlie prevailing styles and garbs them in a quaint and pictur esque fashion of other days. The going away gown is called the traveling gown by these English girls, while our American brides have two distinct types of costume designated by these two terms, as a rule. For us journeys are apt to be long and the going away gown must soon give place to one of severer type and any amount of utility. English girls of the higher classes USEFUL OUTER GARMENT. Both smart and useful this coat would he found, made in either cloth, serge or tweed; the panel down front is cut wider from the hips downward, the seams being wrapped and trimmed with groups of small buttons; the back lias a panel the same as front; black satin is used to face the collar and cuffs. Hat of felt trimmed with black sat in ribbon. Materials required: Six yards 48 Inches wide, >/. yard satin, 4V& dozen buttons, live yards silk for lining to waist. Stenciling Novelty. Stenciling as a decoration for chaf ing dish aprons is a novelty. The aprons are bought stamped ready for stenciling, and the designs show a great variety. The decoration may be carried out in colors appropriate to the design, or, it' the wearer pleases, iu tones to match the rest of her toilet, 'there are both round and square apron 5' deserve their distinction as high class. They are wonderful girls and to them the wedding day needs all the "pomp and circumstance" belonging to so important and joyous an event. In it she celebrates her peaceful vic tory—the achievement which crowns her days. There exists no doubt in her mind as to the desirableness of mai riage. It is the aim of her ex istence and the beginning of her real life. This she ushers in with such toi lettes as grace this page. At a recent wedding the bride's gown was of heavy white iv6ry satin, lace and chiffon draping the bodice. Her beautiful wedding veil of old lace was worn with a wreath of myrtle and orange blossoms. The whole ef fect was superb and charming. Her maids wore soft gowns of simple de sign, large hats and carried bouquets of roses. The liking for simplicity of design appears again in the going away gown and hat, which relies upon its lines and pretty elaboration of details rath er than of fabric, for the exquisite girlish effect. Another notable bride who preferred simplicity in the de sign of her gowns was the Hon. Con stance Lindley, whose gown was really a marvel in that particular and in beauty. COAT SUIT OF NEW DESIGN Seems Likely to Attain Muun Popu larity with the Advent of Spring Weather. A distinct departure from the coat suits that are, is one that has just been advanced by a leader in style. It is worth description because its pro moter feels that it is the advanced thing for spring. It is of an indefinite biack and gray suiting, not smooth in j surface. The skirt has a habit back, a slightly high waist and a panel of plaits in front starting about the end of the corset. The fastening is at the left side on the yoke effect. Three large smoked pear! buttons are used on the plain circular top above the plaits. There is a short coat that just reaches the point of the hips, cut away and round ed in front and showing a slightly double-breasted waistcoat of frog green corduroy. This, too. is fastened with the smoked pearl buttons. The sleeves of the coat are plain and long, and the turn-over collar and short revers are of the fabric. This points the way back along the odd road of severely tailored suits of mannish cut and build. No fur collar and cuffs, no Louis XV. pockets, no braiding, no velvet. A New Bracelet. A new bracelet which is attracting J considerable attention among women is a band of gold from a half-inch to an inch in width. It is either heavily en graved or bears a pattern in black or colored enamel. As a matter of fact, the bracelet is not new, b'>ing similar to a style worn many years ago by our grandparents. In keeping ribbons, do not place odds and ends in an indiscriminate mass in a box. Have either different boxes or envelopes i'or the different colors, and they will be compact am', easily managed. Seal Sombrero. Among the newest modes of milli nery is a large sombrero of seal mus quash. It has the dash of the western plains and the modish turn of a knowing designer. Around the crown passes a bar.d of embroidery reminis cent of Venetian design and colors, am", the rest remains with a proper '.Mt of the wide brim. The Collarless Neck. There seems no lessening of the popularity of the collarless lie-k. it ;s worn 011 the street under heavy coats with fur collars for all evening af fairs where a formal decolletage is not desired and for almost every alter rooti affair. A Polish Marriage. A Polish cpuple came before a Jus tice of the t>eace to be married. Th« young man handed him the marriage liceiise abd the* pair stood up before him. "Join hands," said the justice of th» peace. # They did so, and the Justice looked at the document, which authorized him to unite in marriage Zacharewiea Perczynski and Loekowarda Jeulinskl. "Ahem!" he said, "Zacha —h'm — h'm—ski, do you take this woman," etc. "Yes, sir," responded the young man. "Leo—h'm—ah —ski, do you take this man to be," etc. "Yes, sir," replied the woman. "Then I pronounce you man and wife," said the justice, glad to find something he could pronounce, "and I heartily congratulate you both on hav ing reduced those two names to one." —Lippincott's Magazine.
