Why Kettles Sing.
The reason a kettle "sings" is a
very simple one. As the water gets
hot little hubbies of steam are found
at the bottom of the kettle. These in
their rush upward strike the sides of
ihe kettle and set the metal it is
made of in vibration, thus causing the
humming sound we call singing. You
will notice a copper kettle, which has
thin sides, will make a much louder
and more musical note than a com
mon iron kettle.
Not Proper Comparison.
The old darky had driven his fare
to the hotel and was now demanding
a dollar for his service. "What!" pro
tested the passenger, "a dollar for that
distance? Why, it isn't half a mile as
the crow flies." "Dat's true boss," re
turned Sambo, with an appealing
smile, "but y' see. sub, dat old crow he
ain't got free wives an' ten chilluns to
suppoht not to mention de keep foh
de hoss."
Daysey's Exclusive Illness.
A sickness which attacked Daysey
Mayme last week is said by her physi
cian to be muffitis. Muffitis is exhaus
tion of the muscles in the arms and
shoulders, due to carrying a very
heavy muff. It is claimed by the fam
ily that she has the only case in the
town. —Atchison Globe.
Properties of Steel.
Steel is a true alloy, containing
several foreign elements. Here, as in
iron, the special values of the differ
ent steels depend on the nature and
proportion of those elements. Steel
may be had as soft as the softest
irons.
Gentle Hint.
The Girl. —"You're not a bit like a
lover. You never say pretty things."
The Man. —"Didn't I say that you
looked like a beautiful autumn leaf?"
The Giri.—"Well, don't autumn leave 3
want pressing?"—lllustrated Hits.
Making Textiles Fireproof.
Textiles may be rendered fireproof,
according to the Paris board of fire
commissioners, by steeping them in a
10 per cent solution of phosphate of
ammonia, then drying them in the
open air.
Your Stomach—and Your Wife.
When a man has trouble with his
stomach, it is due to one of two
causes: Kither his wife is such a
good cook she is stuffing him, or she
is such a poor one she is starving him.
—Atchinson (Kan.) Globe.
Virtues of a High Order.
Punctuality, assiduity, economy, in
genuity, interest in our tasks; these
may be described as commonplace vir
tues, but they are certainly not vir
tues absolutely common.
Making Him Feel at Htme.
"But why do your put your friend's
things in the dining room?" "Oh, he
Is so used to restaurants that he won't
enjoy his dinner unless he can watch
his hat and coat."
Quite So.
"You Haiaerlcans say we 'ave no
"nraor," said the loyal Britisher, "but
I'll 'ave you understand, sir, that Hing
lish jokes are not to be laughed at!"
—Everybody's.
Sounds Likely.
Our idea of a great financier is a
man who worries more about the
price of call money than he does
about the price of pork chops.

HAS NO ARGUMENT
COLD FACTS DISPROVE FIGURES
OF ANTI-PROTECTIONIST.
Characteristic of Democratic States
manship an Evidence of Why
the Country Fears to Trust
the Party.
There is an ancient belief that truth
and figures are closely related. It Is
characteristic of Democratic states
manship that it is unable to compre
hend either. Congressman Rucker of
Missouri has been burrowing through
the new tariff law loking for instru
ments vjl anathema, and he has be
come entangled in the multitudinous
arithmetic of tariff schedules even as
a fat shoat in the intricacies of a
barbed-wire fence. All tariff laws,
whether low or high, are necessarily
sprinkled with numbers, and \he
ability to calculate that twice one Is
two is essential to their understand
ing. Far be it from us to insinuate
that Mr. Rucker is lacking in mathe
matical perspicacity, but when he
arises in congress and declares that
the Republican party is unfairly dis
criminating against the poor in the
matter of blankets we are compelled
to suspect that a deficiency exists.
"The cheaper the blanket the higher
the rate of tariff," he cries. "The rich
who buy high-priced blankets, pay
only 71 per cent., while the poor, who
buy the cheapest blankets or none,
are cotnpel'ed to give 165 per cent, ad
valorem to appease the insatiate ap
petite for greed. By the use of the
taxing power of government the Re
publican party has practically ex
cluded blankets from the homes of
the poor and robbed millions of good
citizens of one of the comforts of
life." U —r-r! and it's such a cold
winter, too! It would be serious if it
were true It would be funny if It
were not for the serious fact that
many people, lacking the means of
accurate knowledge, will believe him.
And now. what is the truth?
The blanket schedule of the present
tariff law provides for a duty of 22
cent per pound and 30 per cent, ad
valorem on blankets valued at not
more than 40 cents per pound; of
33 cents per pound and 35 per cent,
ad valorem on blankets valued at
more than 40 cents and not more than
50 cents per pound; of 33 cents per
pound and 40 per cent, ad valorem on
blankets valued at more than 50 cents
per pound. That, in brief, is the pro
vision o. the only schedule in the law
applying to blankets, and it is practi
cally identical with the same schedule
of the McKinley and Dingley tariff
laws. It needs no profound knowl
edge of arithmetic to see that Mr.
Rucker's statement is not only un
true but is at the opposite pole from
truth. Instead oi "the cheaper the
blanket the higher the rate of tariff,"
as he proclaims, the lowest duty is
levied on the cheapest blankets and
the duty rises with the value, as, of
course, it should. It is said in Holy
Writ that you cannot make bricks
without straw. Mr. Rucker should
know that a little clay also is neces
sary, especially when his bricks are
made lor projectile purposes.—St.
Louis Giobe-Democrat.
Let the Party Stand for Justice.
The sugar trust has confessed its
complicity in the huge weighing
frauds and returned $2,000,000 of the
stolen money to the government. The
total amount of its stealings has never
been authoritatively stated. The Sun
fixes it at $30,000,000. This systema
tized robbery went on for years, but
o high official, no director of the
trust, has been indicted for conspiring
to defraud the government. Does any
Intelligent man believe that thievery
on such a gigantic scale could exist
for the profit of the trust without the
facts being known to responsible of
ficials? A congressional committee
would not be hampered by the statute
of limitations. It could follow the
trail of corruption back to its source
and expose the system from Its begin
nings. It could make known the in
fluences that have protected the sugar
trust in Its criminal operations and
make public the history of its rela
tions with the government.
Such work, undertaken in the spirit
of the Hughes insurance investigation,
might produce equally important re
sults in the way of purifying politics
and purging a corrupt commerce.—
New York Sun.
For Bureau of Mines.
The miners are pushing the bill for
the creation of a bureau of mines,
which passed the house and is now
in the senate. There can be no ob
jection to it The bureau is not given
regulative powers, but is charged with
the duty of making scientific investi
gation into all the phases of mining,
including the causes of accidents and
methods of prevention. It is an ef
fort to have the general government
do for the mining industry what it
has for a long time been doing for
the agricultural in the way of scientific
investigation. Legislation to render
the discoveiies and recommendations
of the bureau oi value would have to '
be done by the individual states.
Deep Channel Sure to Ee.
The victory of the supporters of the
waterway project in the house is the
most gratifying incident of the cam
paign for a deep channel It presages
a victory all along the line. The chief
danger is the possibility of the sen
ate killing the entire appropriation
bill as a measure of fake economy '
for campaign effect, but there may be j
enough pork barrel £k it to prevent !
this assassination. St. Louis Star. |
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1910
COUNTRY IS BEHIND BILL
Administration's Measure Has the
B' cklng of the Voters of
the Nation.
According to a number of reports
and indications, the raiiroail corpora
tions of the country will not seriously
oppose the administration's bill ex
tending the powers of the commerce
commission and providing fo~ the con
trol of railroad finance. Only one road
was represented at the general hear
ing by (he house committee. There
will be no lobbying; the railroads will
abide by Ihe logic of events.
There Is excel'ent sense In the posi
tion taken by the railroad men. The
bill is uelng carefully considered, and
It will be duly debated on the floor of
the senate and house. Amendments
of importance have been and will be
offered, some concessions have been
made, but the party and the adminis
tration are ccmmltted to a measure
"clinching," extending and improving
the Hepburn rate act, which, as all
recogime, has merely produced num
berless lawsuits by its provisions for
regulating charges upon complaint.
To fight the essential features of
the administration bill would be to
furnish ammunition to the advocates
of even more drastic legislation. More
over, the failure of the cardinal meas
ures ot the Republican party, and a
do-nothing session generally, would al
most certainly result In the election
of a "'•aclical" house next fall. Reac
tion is ltnposible with public senti
ment as it is. and stagnation would
simply be regarded as reaction play
ing for delay.
In a well-considered, reasonable
railroad bill there Is no danger to rail
road prosperity, and practical pru
dence dictates the cheerful acceptance
of such a measure.
No Popular Demand for Economy.
The drop in government revenues
following the panic of 1907 induced
congress togo as far as it ever goes
in the direction of economy. It re
quested the president and heads of
departments to cut down estimates in
the future. They have done so for
the next fiscal year.
The president having Indicated that
money can be saved here and there,
the house of representatives promptly
proceeds to appropriate for other pur
poses the sums thus saved and a little
more. It has passed a $415,000,000 riv
ers and harbors bill. The senate
committee which has it in hand is
disposed to add $5,000,000 to the bill.
It. remains to be seen whether Sena
tor Aldrich, who says the government
Is spending too much, will stop this
raid on the treasury.
There are men In congress who, tak
ing their cue from railroads and other
concerns which need supervision, pro
test in the name of economy against
the useful outlay such supervision
would entail. Hut of real economists
who would stop unprofitable expendi
tures there are few and they have no
popular backing. Neither a billion
dollar congress nor a billion dollar
session provokes a popular remon
strance, and yet the people have to
pay the bills. In one way or another
the government collects from them
the money which congress distributes
with liberal hands.
The people complain of high prices
and inadequate incomes, without rea
lizing how much the situation is ag
gravated by the vast expenditures of
the national government. If it were
to take less from them they would
have more money to spend. If they
couid be made to see that, congress
would suddenly become economical.
Public sentiment would demand It.
That sentiment Is lacking and hence
there will be no economy in appropri
ations. Congress will appropriate all
the money in sight and some more.
Alaska's Need.
The kind of government needed fo»
Alaska is that the senate bill would
give. It authorizes the president to
appoint a legislative council of eleven,
eight of them to be residents of Alas
ka. There would be in addition a
governor, attorney general and com
missioner of the interior and of mines.
This council would have certain legis
lative powers, including the granting
of franchises, but all Its acts would
be revocable by congress.
Appointive Council Best.
Government by the executive
through an appointive council Is the
best form of government for Alaska
now. as it was for Louisiana when
first acquired. Then it would be pos
sible to fix the responsibility if any
thing went wrong. That Is impos
sible now, though many things have
gone wrong at one lime and another.
Senator Heverldge should pick up the
forsaken, forlorn Alaska bill and have
the senate vote on it.
Only One Question Necessary.
The conversation had languished
for a moment or two.
"Have you heard of the civil-service
examination for ambassadors?" I.i-
the man with the fur cm * 1.1
>vercoat collar.
"No." replied the man next the car
window, "1 haven't heard of it. Are
they examining 'em now?"
"Yes. They ask 'em just one ques
tion."
"Only one question? What's that?"
" 'Are you a multimillionaire and a
free spender?' "
President Is Prepared.
In iiia New York speech President
Taft showed that he is prepared to
expound (lie new tariff with facts and
figures Those who attack it vaguely
should steer clear of the president's
exact information.
Costumes in Fashion
On the left Is a long coat of gray cloth, trimmed with darker shade
of braid—black velvet toque with gray, green and black aigrette.
The second is a blue serge tailored suit, with collar and buttons of
black satin, large black hat, with blue plumes.
TYPE OF SPRING MILLINERY
Hat with High Gathered Crown Most
Elaborately and Becomingly
T rimmed.
Among the early spring models Is a
comfortable hat, becoming and well
fitting, made with a high gathered
crown held out with an inner one of
book muslin, and a fluted brim of soft
moire. This does not hang around the
face, but is made double and has
enough thickness to hold it in posi
tion.
About the high crown Is tied a wide
scarf of soft satin ribbon. When black
is used for the hat then one of the
new light blues Is used for the scarf.
Silver and gold gauze are also tied
around instead of ribbon and end In a
line, careless bow in front.
The expensive models show this hat
with a crown of lace moire shot with
blue, pink, and green and lined with
chiffon or gauze to match the color
of the scarf.
COAT FOR MATRCN.
This is made in black face cloth,
and is a simple sacque shape, a style
which matrons always find so useful.
The loose bishop sleeve is set to a
turn-back cuff of cloth, braided light
ly at (be edge, the collar being braid
ed to match.
Honnet of black crinoline trimmed
with ostrich tips and black satiu rib
bon.
Materials required: Three yards
cloth -IS inches wide. 1 dozen yards
braid.
Keeping Faucets Bright.
In the bathroom the nickel faucets
can be kept bright as new indefinite
ly if irequc.'Hy washed and given a
brisk rub daily when the room Is set
in order A clean cheesecloth dust
«r serves this purpose specially well.
I TIGHT SKIRT NOT GRACEFUL
Mistake Made In Carrying the Fash,
ion of the Moment to Undue
Length.
A grave protest should be made
against the skirt that Is narrow at
its best and tied in Just above the
ankles at its worst.
11 should be condemned and dis
carded by every woman who consid
ers personal comfort and a graceful
appearance. There is an Independent
quality of American women that re
fuses to walk with knees pressed
together and a hampered Japanese
manner of taking liny steps.
After all, there is a great artistic
delight in a flowing skirt that follows
in soft, sinuous lines the motions of
the figures
In Pails and London women have
accepted the inhibition of easy, grace
ful motion, but It Is to be hoped that
our fair ones will in some usual and
clever way attain the best of these
suggestions and at the same time
keep the senseless tyranny at arm's
lerieth.
Of Craft Cloth.
The portiere may be mere play and
altogether possible to the veriest ama
teur if some simple idea be carried
out.
Make it of arts and crafts cloth In
a soft, natural tone, and after it is
hemmed with silk to match It work
a row of simple trees one above an
other down the length of the hanging
along one of its selvages.
Not in elaborate embroidery, but in
the coarsest of cross-stitching done
in worsted yarn, and in a combination
of dusky green and blue shades, each
so dull as to melt, into one another.
Again, If a one toned curtain be de
sirable, choose an Indian red. dull
brown or blue, and using the coarse
worsted yarn, hemstitch a broad hem
along a very open line which you
have drawn, or overcast the hem in
coarse hemming stitches a quarter of
an inch in length.
Necessary Gowns.
A modiste claims that three dresses
a season are sufficient for the aver
age woman, citing the ever useful
tailormade, a calling gown for after
noon wear and decollete for evening
wear. This might do in a case of
necessity, hut. no society woman can
g< j t along with one evening dress for
an entire season any more than she
can get along with one pair of gloves.
A woman moving in a circle of well
dressed women must dress equally
well or else step down and out. Her
dress must be good, stylish and notlce
ifcble. Dress does not make the wom
an, but it most asuredly does make
her place <ll circles where stylish at
tire is n.ore Important than many oth
er things.
Pine Idea.

per now, the neat raised monogram
