The Maklns in Church.
"I never knew," said the nervous
man, "what an Inveterate smoker I
am until recently in church —my first
visit for a long while—l found myself
mechanically rolling a cigarette. In
fact, I had it rolled and was reaching
for a match when I suddenly came to.
Suppose I hadn't waked up? Rather
awful, what?"
Big Deposit of Iron Ore.
The largest deposit of titaniferous
iron ore in the middle of Sweden is
Taberg, in the Province of Smaland,
seven miles south of the town of
Jonkoping. This small mountain is
450 feet high and consists entirely of
this iron ore. The area is figured to
be 2,800,000 square feet.
Saving the Wall Paper.
A paperer advised me to get a roll
of cheap cotton batting for cleaning
soiled wallpaper. With a piece of the
batting go over the surface of the
paper lightly. Then with more batting
go over the paper with greater pres
sure. The result is astonishing.—Good
Housekeeping.
A Sharp Editor.
A subscriber to one of our Ameri
can newspapers writes to its editor
thus: "I don't want your paper any
'onger." To which the editor replies,
I wouldn't make it any longer if you
did. Its present length suits me very
well."
Says the Irreverent Student.
"Liberty is a thing we modern peo
ple abuse," observed our friend, the
Student. "The Puritans, now, always
carried guns to church, and yet I can't
find that one of 'em ever shot a
preacher."
Both Take Wrong Course.
"This would be a better world," says
the Philosopher of Folly, "if the man
who has been married one year would
talk less about it, and the man who
has* been married ten years would
talk more about it."

Mr. Porker (of Chicago, who made
a fortune from Porker's Ked Seal

Quite So.
"Many a man," remarked the home
grown philosopher, "spends iiis court

unworthy of her, and his married life
in proving it."

THE BEST POSSIBLE
PRESIDENT TAFT'S POSITION ON
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Measure Passed by Congress, When
It Has Been Tried Out by the
Country, Will Bear Out Chief
Executive's Indorsement.
Some months ago an indianian of
the name of Foulke, who had support
ed Mr. Taft for president, wrote him
in a tone of criticism of the adminis
tration, especially as regards the tar
iff question. The president replied,
in terms, it was said, of pith and
point. Hut the correspondence was
not published. All known about it is
of a general character.
It is now stated that a Mr. Swift,
another Indianian who voted the Re
publican ticket in 100S, lias in a letter
to the president entered a protest
against the new tariff law, and taken
a fling at Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Cannon,
Mr. Taft has replied to hini pointedly,
but the letters are withheld.
While the full text of (he letters In
both of these cases would be interest
ing, what circulates without contradic
tion about them is sufficient to afford
a good text for comment. And one
may ask the question, Did Mr. Foulke
and Mr. Swift expect Mr. Taft to join
in the Insurgent animadversions on
Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Cannon? After
consulting with them about tariff re
vision, and co-operating with them in
bringing it about, was he to be ex
pected to acquiesce in, or even listen
in silence to, denunciations of them
and their work?
Both the president and his party in
congress confronted a most difficult
situation last spring. After the pre
liminary maneuvering and parleyings,
they stood at soliloquy and asked
themselves: To revise, or no*, to re
vise? That was the question. The
business world was all impatience and
anxiety for action. Delay was ex
pensive. A tariff bill —some bill—was
absolutely necessary. Adjournment
of the extra session without a bili
would not only be a confession of in
competency on the part of the Repub
licans, but a blow to the business
world. The period of uncertainty
would be prolonged, and all values
injuriously affected.
In the very nature of things the
measure must be of a compromise
character. Nobody could reasonably
hope to be entirely satisfied. On cer
tain points the Star is in hearty sym
pathy with downward revisionists. A
compromise, as we all know, was at
last effected, and it had the indorse
ment, first of a very large majority
of the Republicans in both houses, of
congress, and then of the president.
The country will pass upon the meas
ure in November. But does any frank
and open man expect the president
meanwhile to cut and run, or begin
to shilly-shally about bis part of
the performance?— Washington (Ind.)
Star.
Postal Savings Bill.
The passage in the senate by a vote
of 50 to 22 of the bill to establish
a system of postal savings banks
would seem to point to the probability
that the measure as finally agreed
upon in the senate will pass the
house. Every Republican senator pres
ent voted for the measure, but this
result was not brought about until
the Smoot amendment had been so
reshaped as to modify the methods
under which it was proposed that, pos
tal savings funds should be handled.
Th» opposition to the Smoot amend
ment in its original form, which would
have permitted the investment of sav
ings funds In two per cent, govern
ment bonds, was based on the theory
that the government would take money
from local centers to maintain then J
bonds at par. Another .opposition
argument was that the funds under
the Smoot amendment could be used
to establish a centralized bank.
As f -/e bill finally passed the senate
It provides that the moneys collected
through the postal savings system are
to be deposited with local banks at a
rate of not less than 2% per cent, in
terest. and are to remain with such
institutions unless withdrawn by the
president in case of war or other
exigency, and if so withdrawn must
be invested in government securities
which shall not draw Ifss than 2 1 ,\
per cent, interest. The fixing of the
government security interest rate at
2\i per cent, was in accord with an
amendment to (he Smoot amendment,
offered by Senator Borah, the purpose
of which was the exclusion of the ex
isting two per cent, issues from the
securities in which investment might
be made
The Smoot amendment in the modi
fied form in which it was finally ac
cepted would seem to give sufficient
assurance that moneys will not be re
moved from localities in which they
are collected except upon emergency
demand Indeed, the measure as It
went through the senate makes the
government postal system a collective
agency for the banks, (hough the gov
ernment exacts one-quarter of one
per cent, to defray the collection ex
penses.
Real Leaders of Party.
The importance (o the party of tip
right leadership was Indicated by
President Taft in his tributes lo ex-
President Roosevelt and to Gov.
Hughe?, of New York state. The Re
publican party's principles are ail
right: ail that is needed is right men
to carry them out Such apostles of
righteousness the party has found In
Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes. The
partv will keep faith with itself and
with (hem, ?s they have kept fail!)
with it, by rallying to thsir support.—
Troy Times.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1910.
MEED FOR YOUNGER ADMIRALS
Weak Spct in Navy Called to the At
tention of the Country by the
President.
President Taft's message to con
gress advocating reform in the navy
personnel indicates plainly the lines
along which the administration is
working to correct what is believed to
be a weak spot in our naval establish
ment Our admirals now reach (lag
rank so late in life that they are ready
for the retired list before they can do
any efficient work m the command of
squadrons or fleets. It is desired that
officers should reach flag rank at an
early enough age to have six or eight
years of active service ahead of them
as flag officers.
In practically all other navies the
grade of rear admiral is reached at a
much younger age than is the ciise
with us. Thus, on January 1, 1010, the
average age of rear admirals in the
various navies was as follows: Jap
anese, 50; German, 51; British, 53;
Austrian, 55; Italian, 56; French, 59,
and Americans 60V&. It will thus be
seen that our rear admirals are much
older than officers of similar rank in
other first-class navies, more than ten
years older than Japanese officers and
seven years older on the average than
British officers.
The only practical way of reducing
Mio age at which officers roach com
mand and flag rank is to adopt the
methods by which that result is se
cured in other navies. Practically all
of them have the egp-in-grade retire
ment provision, by which every officer
from the grade of lieutenant up is
automatically retired on reaching p
given age unless he lias been pro
moted to the next higher grade. Thus,
it might be provided that every com
mander who reached 4S years without
promotion to captain must be retired,
and, similarly, every captain who has
reached 53 or 55 without advancement
must go to the retired list. An ar
rangement of that kind would do in
justice to no one as would a system of
selection, while it would provide
younger admirals with certainty.
States and "Foreign" Corporations.
In the rase of the Pullman Com
pany, as in that of the Western Union,
the federal supreme court has taken a
view which very materially affects the
rights of all important corporations.
The significance of the two decisions
lies in their bearing on the general
principle, often upheld by the same
court, that a state has the power to
prohibit any corporation created by
another state from entering it for the
purpose of doing business "locally."
and consequently that, if it chooses,
as a mere matter of comity, to grant a
corporation a license, a right of entry,
it may annex any kind or number of
conditions to that grant, the only re
strictions heretofore recognized being
that no corporation can be asked to
give up constitutional rights.
I'his principle has seemed extreme
to many able lawyers, and the court
must have felt that some modification
of it was necessary. To hold that
while states cannot hamper interstate
commerce they may mulct or penalize
corporations chartered by sister states
that apply for permission to enter
them for the purpose of doing local
business, is to assume a position
bristling with practical difficulties and
theoretical incongruities.
The court now holds that Kansas
cannot exclude the Western Union and
the Pullman Company from its terri
tory. even as far as the doing of pure
ly local business is concerned, because
they have declined to pay a statutory
fee equal to a certain percentage of
all their authorized capital. Such a
single fee amounts to a tax on the en
tire business of the companies, the in
terstate as well as the local, and on
all their property, wherever situated;
anil, of course, such a general tax
practically amounts to an interference
with interstate commerce, no matter
what disguise it wears.
For Postal Savings Banks.
If the postal savings bank question
were submitted to the people it would
be discovered that all sections of the
country were strongly in favor of such
provision for the safe depositing of
money in places which have no bank
ing facilities of the kind suitable for
small savings. It is not probable that
any state in the union would vote
against the establishment of an insti
tution which has found favor and
proved its usefulness in many coun
tries of Europe, in Canada and in Aus
tralia.
If there is any reason for opposing
such facilities for thrift and such ab
solute security for small deposits,
which can be made convincing to
more than a rather small minority of
the American people, it has not yet
been disclosed.
Theodore Roosevelt will accept the
Democratic nomination for president
about the time that Col. Watt.erson
runs for the same office on the Prohi
bition ticket.—Rochester Democrat.
The Indiana editors of Republican
newspapers in their annual conven
tion unanimously adopted a resolu
tion of approval of the Payne tariff.
Opposition to Postal Savings.
I! is going to cause Democratic can
didates. newspapers and orators much
trouble, during the campaign next fall,
to explain the fact that only Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, elected by a
Republican legislature in a Republic
an state, stood out from the minority
to vote for the postal savings bank
! hill which passed the fenute recentlv.
It will be found that artful special
pleading and dust-throwing will not go
far to offset the undeniable fact of all
hut unanimous Democratic opposition
| to a very popular measure.
Follow this advice.
Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
It is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LL.D., F.R.S. of London spend the
best part of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of differ
ent foods, it is certain that their ad
vice is absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says—
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat it frequently. 69

Fighting Disease in Greece.
Consul General George Horton has
made a report from Athens on the
conspicuous work of Greek physicians
in combating the country's chief
scourges—malarial fever and tubercu
losis. An annual average of 2,000
persons die each year from the for
mer, while in epidemic years, due to
excessive rains, the number exceeds
6,000, which was the case in 1905. The
population of Greece is 2,433,806. The
people have been interested through
lectures, pamphlets, etc., to fight the
malaria-carrying mosquito by draining
stagnant ponds and throwing petro
leum on them. A tuberculosis con
gress will be held at Athens next
year, to which will be invited not
only physicians, but all the mayors
and other prominent people of Greece.
