Here, under a bright sun, such as shone at Austerlitz or Buena Vista -—amidst the peaceful harmonies of nature—on the Sabbath of peace—we behold bands of brothers, children of a common father, heirs to a common happiness, struggling together in the deadly fight with the madness of fallen spirits, seeking with murderous weapons the lives oi brothers who have never injured them or their kindred.—-Speech of Charles Sum ner, 1840. Smart Baby. The doctor swears this is true. It is about his young daughter, who is not yet a year old. Just about noon the other day, when the doctor and his wife sat down to frankfurters, of which they are very fond, the nurse brought the baby in from a long ride. The baby squirmed around in the woman's arms, leaned over until she could see what was in the chafing dish filled with boiling water and then remarked "noo-woo!" Butter by the Yard. In Cambridge the quaint old custom of rolling butter into sticks and selling it by the yard still exists. So accus tomed have the butter merchants in the markets become to this practice that they use neither weights nor scales. A neat cut with a knife and the yard of butter is divided into halves, quarters or eighths, as it may be required.—Home Chat. Dog's Costly Meal. A peasant woman named Redon, at Lavalle, France, who concealed SSO in a loaf of bread to prevent the money being stolen while she was at market, had the loaf snatched from her by a dog, which made off with its booty. The animal was caught later on, but there was no trace of the bread or the money. Found Small Fortune. A lucky find was made recently by William Siegfried when he went to claim his dead uncle's estate of Rad enbach, near Reading, Pa. While ex amining the effects of the old home he discovered a chest that contained 16,000 in gold pieces, silver coins and S2O bills. The Practical Kind. He <savagely)—"So another judge has decided the same old thing—a wife's right to search her husband's pocket." She (suavely)—" Don't say 'same old thing.' I am sure that is a matter in which there is seeking after a great deal of change." Draw the Line at Hanging. An insurance company refuses to recognize the heirs of a man who was hanged. Does it suppose that any man gets himself judicially hanged simply to make money for his wife? Altruism does not go so far these days.— Philadelphia Inquirer. Something More Required. One of the great mistakes of the past has been to suppose that any woman with a little good-will on her part and a good deal of good nature on the part of her partner can set up a satisfactory home. Birth. It is a great thing to be well bora, rot in the matter of clothing or mate rial riches, but to be well born into the possession of those things which cannot otherwise be obtained. —Rev.

Impossible for Republicans to Face the Voters with Empty Hands— Taft Program Should Be Strictly Adhered To. It is fortunate from every point of view that the congressional situation is at last showing signs of simplifica tion and reduction to certainty. The session is advanced, talk of early ad journment is already heard, and noth ing has yet been done. The party in power cannot face the voters with tlll pty hands and futile excuses, and if a fair record is to be made there is no time to lose. What the executive expects of con gress is now definite and clear. Some of the administration bills have been discreetly laid aside as too conten tious or too personal. What remains 011 the Taft program is regarded by the president as the irreducible mini mum, and he can point to the party's pledges as a sufficient warrant for every item thereon. There are but five subjects 011 the program: Postal pavings, railroad regulation and the commerce court, conservation —a subject, however, which requires several bills to cover immediate requirements—injunctions, and statehood for the last of our "contiguous" territories. Competent observers are not, it must be admitted, very confident of the successful realization of this pro gram. limited as it is. The senate is known to be hostile to the separate statehood idea, and the injunction bill, though very conservative, has strong opposition in both houses. The postal savings proposition has been terribly juggled with and muddied, amend ments which the president and law yers like Root consider essential hav ing been reluctantly dropped to save the principle of the measure. The bill may pass, but there will be grave doubts in the public mind as to its validity or soundness. It is to be devoutly hoped, there fore, that the conservation bills and the interstate commerce measure will be made the notable features of the session. The differences over them should be adjustei; the insurgents and the regulars should get together and agree on amendments calculated to put an end to suspicion, recrimina tion and hints at "jokers." The people expect action, and a spirit of co-operation and harmony is necessary at Washington to meet! their wishes. Whatever good work congress does will reflect credit on the whole party and on every leader in it, whether he be regular or insur gent.—Chicago Record-Herald. Gardner's Great Speech. For more than an hour recently the house of representatives listened to an illustrated lecture on the high cost of living. The Republicans applauded vig orously and the Democrats kept silent. The lecturer was Representative Au gustus P. Gardner of Massachusetts, one of the insurgent leaders and a sttt dent, of political economy. Xo matter what is the cause of the I Increase in this country, it is not the j tariff, Mr. Gardner asserted with the J greatest emphasis and then proceeded j to demonstate it with the aid of a 1 pointer nnd two enormous charts ! placed before the speaker's platform, j One of the charts showed in a | graphic way the fluctuations in j wholesale prices of staple articles in; the United States and Great Rritain j from ISTS to 190 S. The other showed j the actual prices paid for foodstuffs by j the Massachusetts training ship Ran | ger in the summer of 1908 in Boston [ and more than half a dozen large ! European ports. He said the first table proved that j during ail those years when the tariff I of the United States was at different ■ levels, the prices in "free trade Kng- ! land high protection United States," j went up and down simultaneously. That j was absolute proof that the tariff j could hi.ve nothing whatever to tlo | with the question. The prices paid by j the Ranger were lower in Boston for ' beef, corned beef, veal, pork, bacon, ham, fowl, frankfurters, hamburg steak, fish and ice. or 11 of the; 6 ar tier?" of food purchased on the trip.

May his j health continue and his tongue keep j in good working order.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1910 THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK Measure Must Go Through Congress, and Republican Promises Be Redeemed. Tho postal savings bank bill should pat's lor several reasons, one of them being that the Republican national platform of 1908 pledged the party to tl»e passage of such a measure. It was a Democratic and not a Repub lican senator who said at the last ses sion that "party platforms are written in the night and in a hurry and mean nothing. - ' The plank in the Repub lican platform pronouncing for the postal savings bank system was not a hasty, unmeaning declaration. It was llie party's answer to the Democratic pronouncement for the deposit guar anty plan, which appeared to be popu lar in the west. President Taft re peated the party pledge both before and after tlie election. Here is a promise which cannot be wriggled out of. 11 is specific, not gen eral. It can be kept without the least difficulty, it was not a promise to en act legislation whose value would be doubtful. We all know that there are c'asses of the population which would avail themselves of the postal deposi tory at once. The last report of the immigration commission deals with private banks run by the countrymen of immigrants. These banks are out side the law and irresponsible. They seldom pay interest on deposits and often fail. If there were postal sav ings banks they would get the money. We know that those banks would bring into circulation a large amount of money now hoarded. They would encourage thrift. The representatives of the Repub lican party in congress would be un able to excuse themselves if they were to fail to carry out the party's promise at this session. They have the votes. If they were not to do it now action at the short session would be almost impossible. It may be more difficult to get through the next con gress legislation promised by the Re publican party than through this one. Root vs. Hughes on Income Tax. Senator Root has redeemed his pledge "to advocate the income tax amendment in his own state." Ills letter to a member of the legislature is a powerful and well-reasoned reply to the special Hughes message which startled the country by recommending rejection of the amendment and which has impressed a good many editors. If Albany and other solons are not merely searching for excuses to mask general hostility 'o the proposition, they will ratify the amendment with out. fear or misgiving. Senator Root, an acute constitution al lawyer, agrees with Borah and oth ers that the amendment as worded does not empower congress to tax the income from state and municipal bonds. He cites decisions, authorita tive opinions and precedents to prove that the amendment, if ratified, could not possibly be made by congress an instrument of usurpation and abuse against, the states. The doubts and objections of Gov. Hughes were plainly founded on a su perficial study of the subject. The states are not threatened with any thing dire, they will not be put at | the mercy of congress if the amend : ment is ratified. Hence the duty of I the legislatures is simple and impera | tive, and to persist in opposition on j far-fetched, technical grounds will mean, as Senator Rural) said in con ! gress to arouse suspicion among the ; people and widen the breach between ithe progressives and the conservatives J accused of reaction and "plutocratic sympathies." Secretary Meyer's Big Ships. The impression spread abroad that 1 Secretary Meyer advocates the iarg ! est or even the mosl powerful navy in j the world for the United States is j mere sensationalism. In his annual ! report dated December I. 190 D, he | i-aid: j "In order to keep the appropriations I for the navy department within the | economical limit set for the goverment ! the department recommends only the | following new construction: Two bat j tle&hips, one repair ship. The battle | ships are recommended to bo of the J j ail big gun type. They will complete j j the squadron ol eight vessels of ibis I general class, the others being t>i« North Dakota, Delaware, Florid*, Utah, Arkansas and Wyoming." Secretary Meyer also said, and It Is a clew to his general construction policy: "Developments now seem to point to the adoption of a larger gun for the latest battleships, which may per haps be a way of distinguishing the modern battleship from the modern armored cruiser. The so-called 'ar mored cruiser' of the Invincible type, now being built by some of the prin cipal powers, is in reality a fast bat tleship, the Increase of speed being at the expense of carrying fewer guns in the main battery and a decrease in armor protection." Mr Hi van says he neither desires ! nor expects to run again for the presl j idency. Rut how if an Irresistible j emergency collides with an intmova- I ble devotion to party? How Do They Krow? J The inherent hypocrisy of the Dem ocrats comes out stronger in the whine | they are now raising about a tariff ; increase in the cost of Bibles. Very ! few of them could prove themselves j to be ultimate consumers in that line of fiords. —St. Louis Globe-Demo- : ciat ' i Some IVen Never Do.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first It seemed to be a few mattered pimplep. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the un derneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was aw ful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but ali failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticurai By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Un der this where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura B three times daily. After tUree days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She Is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all Is well. We only used one cake of Cuti cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re solvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would bo few suffer ing with eczema.
