Lord Granard was once visiting some of his tenants. One of the farms he visited contained a large assort ment of live stock in a more than usually healthy state, and halting be fore a sty he said to the owner: "Those pigs of yours are in very fine condition." "Yes," agreed the proud farmer, "if we were all as ready to die as them, my lord, we'd do." Something to Be Thankful For. It's pretty tough to be poor, not to use a stronger expression; but when one reads of the many accidents by land and sea in which so many are sent to sudden death a man ought to feel thankful sometimes that he is out in the country pulling the bell line over old Balaam. —Sylvania Telephone.

There can be no progress svhen there is no end in view PARTY NOT INJURED REPUBLICANS UNHURT- BY FAC TIONAL STRUGGLE. Minor Differences of Opinion Will Be No Bar to the Presentation of a Solid Front to Their Politi cal Enemies. A chapter of dramatic Incidents fraught with great, even intense, inter est to the representatives of the peo ple in congress, and perhaps of as great interest to the country, was closed when the appeal from the ruling of the speaker that the Norris motion was out of order was supported by a vote of 182 to 160. That vote Is fated to stand out In the history of parlia mentary struggles as a landmark. This means a radical change from the proce dure in relation to the organization of the popular branch of congress. The | possession of the power conferred upon him through the framing of the rules has been a potent asset of the speaker, and in the case of Speaker Cannon it was the power with which he held in check the tide of insurgery. Eliminated from the proposed commit tee on rules to be selected by the house itself, he is a shorn Samson. The Insurgency is the element of the Republican party to which Speaker Cannon referred when he declared that if they were Republicans, then he was not one. It is n\ost unfortunate that the issue should have been raised. It is unfortunate because in the flush of their new power the insurgents will be difficult to direct in the* paths of appropriate and needed legislation. It is unfortunate because it gives an un warranted color to the contention of the ready writers ol the magazines that there is a tendency toward a coali tion of permanent nature between the radical wings of the two parties. It j is unfortunate because It indicates that | a spirit of restlessness, unjustified by j conditions, exists. But the so-called i victory is not apt to materialize the j importance the persons quick with J conclusions advance for it. The Demo i crats will find it a boomerang. They had counted upon playing the card of Cannonism to their advantage to secure control of the house. Now they have wiped out the leading issue and ! are dependent upon the bounty of | Republican allies for any consideration i they may secure. As a matter of fact, it has been an unholy alliance, an ill ordered and ill-assorted coalition; it is a rope of sand, and when the house io presented with Republican measures it will vote them without regard to the Democrats. There is only a difference ! as to degree between the radicals and j the conservative Republicans in their j adherence to the leading Republican ; proposals. All the Republicans be j lieve alike in the essentials of the I party faith. The temporary defection does not j represent any weakening. The radi j cals themselves declare it means a j strengthening of the position of Presi i dent Taft with the lower house. The radicals can never secure Democratic support for their Republican positions, and they will find their true alliance where it has always been. The fight has been against the speaker, and it has been, as far as it went, a success ful fight. The party is as coherent and as firm-fronted as ever. The Dem ocrats have nothing to be gratified over, and the clearing of the atmo sphere of the main cause for insurgen cy will tend to dissolve the ingredients into their component parts. There is [ apt now to be much less heard of in surgency since the alleged cause for its existence has been set aside. Speak ■ er Cannon has endeared himself to all lovers of a good, square fighter by his unprecedented contest against deter mined odds. As it was an odd fight, as well as a tight against odds. The Democrats thought to ride upon the wave of the victory against the speaker to a de lirious success, but they found their limit very shortly. Despite the frenzy of the hour of victory, despite the cries of the Democrats for the evacuation of the speaker's chair by Mr. Cannon, de spite the fact that a Democratic reso i lution to declare the position vacant was actually introduced amid scenes i of the wildest disorder, the speaker held tenaciously lo his position and the Republicans could not be induced to perpetuate folly or injustice per , sonal to Mr. Cannon. A defeat it was, bi. it was not a defeat for the party, nor was it a defeat of the general bal ance of the dominant party. The Dem ocrats already are beginning to realize it was a meal of cljaff they were so eagerly grasping for. , Country Is with Taft. The impression which President Taft's many speeches has left upon the country is that of an honest frank ness, joined with the intention to do his best and to take the consequences. It is rather more than likely that as this administration proceeds it will, slowly perhaps, but none the less surely, com mand public confidence, because of the '■ clear honor and the right intent of the man at ttie head ol it.—Springfield Re publican. Roosevelt's Consistency. President Roosevelt is to be com mended tor refusing to talk politics * in spite of the great pressure to which his desire to please his Journalistic friends doubtless subjects him His in nate perceptions are usually sound. p While his impulsiveness has olten evoked criticism, such instances as these of the tenacity ol his purpose, onc<; entered upon, are deserving of n more than passing notice - lioston Transcript CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1910 HIGH PRICES ARE GENERAL Statistics Show Them to Be Universal the World Over—Folly to Blame the Tariff. Meat prices have advanced In all the principal producing and consum ing sections of the world, according to compilations just made by the bu reau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The figures which the bureau has compiled consist chiefly of the export prices of tho principal meat-exporting countries of the world and the import and quoted wholesale prices In the chief meat importing and consuming countries. The chief meat-exporting countries are Australia, New Zealand, Argen tina, Canada and the United States; and the chief meat-importing coun tries, the United Kingdom, Germany and, In a less degree, the other Euro pean countries. All of the meat-ex porting countries show higher prices per pound in their exports In recent years than those of a decade ago, and all of the meat-iinportlng coun tries show higher rates in their Im port figures and in the current market quotations. ALL MUST BE COMPROMISE Points Voter Should Remember When He Considers Pending Or Passed Legislation. President Taft's talk about "the in terests" and their efforts to shape legislation at Washington will do good If It makes the average voter under stand how inevitably fierce is the con flict in all legislative halls, how steady and strong is the pressure which law makers and executives have to resist, and how large a percentage of law has to be the result of compromise be tween conflicting desires, varying, of course, in their degrees of self-inter est or altruism, but most of them normal, prudential and simply there- I suit of a passion of loyalty to a given | cause or project. "Good," "bad," | "half good, half bad," personal, cor porate, national and international in terests are forever In conflict, and to choose between them wisely and with devotion to the ideal welfare of l the greatest number of persons af | fected becomes Increasingly difficult | as society becomes more complex and j reliance on formal law more complete. Taft's First Year. If any one should attempt to locate | any largo failing of Mr. Taft as presi dent, temperamental or otherwise, | such a quest would prove fruitless, jMe has made. In all substantial re j spects, a thoroughly good president. ! His appointments have been strong j and made on a very liberal basis, so far as partisan or sectional consider ations are concerned. lie is a thor ough-going civil service reformer. Ills work for retrenchment—one of the nation's greatest needs —has been earnest and effective. He has accom plished even more In liberalizing the j tariff than did either of his recent | predecessors who attempted to check j the greed of the special interests with | the influence of the White House. One j can hardly wonder what would have happened to McKlnley or to Cleveland had they held the office after the country had been educated by seven years of Rooseveltism, and sur rounded by a new journalistic atmo sphere committed to radicalism. It Is I probable that Taft's first year has j been his hardest one, and that the sterling merit of the man and the sub ' stantial worth of his administration I will, as time goes on, appeal to the j ultimate common sense and fair play !of his fellow-countrymen. They can j not fail to see, as they stop to reason | for themselves, that they have no real grievance worthy of the name.—Bos ton Transcript. "Uncle Joe" as a Statesman. It is because Uncle Joe is so thor oughly human, as well as a man of extraordinary Intellectual resources, that he is able as a septuagenarian to hold his own In the tremendous scram ble and uproar the country over to down him. He has shocked us awfully sometimes with the vagaries of his speech. We don't like the way he tilts his cigar and cocks his hat. The chip j 911 Ills shoulder is a perpetual menace I and aggravation. But despite all these exasperating effects upon our conven | tional sensibilities, he has a grip upon I the public affairs of the country which thus far has withstood a tempest of j hostility and abuse.— Rochester Demo | crat and Chronicle. Anti-Tariff Argument Refuted. Some of the over-zealous tariff rip pers are making a great ado about the difference in cost of food in the city of Detroit and in Windsor, just across the river in Canada. They claim that j "articles of food cost an average of 25 j per cent, less in Windsor than in De j troit, altogether due to the tariff." Al j together due to the fact that iu Wind j sor there is no work, while the Cana j dians are breaking all speed records in I their efforts to get employment in De j troit. Tariff and employment are syn onymous; free trade and poverty are children of ignorant parents. Is the Country Ready for This? We have no doubt there is one sure remedy for high prices. It is easy, too, if the country is ready to try it. j Simply take the tariff off of every -1 thing. The wage earner's job will van | ish and he'll have no money to pur | chase what the farmer raises at any I price. The resultant fall in prices j would be something fierce : The eyes of the nation are on con ! gross during those days, and respon i all.i'.ity will lix itself where it belongs DANCE IN HIDEOUS MASKS Participators in Lamaist Church, tho Lorsar, Festival Wear Garb of Demons.

No. 3. —The Guardian of the Spirits of Chinese Priests. the victory of the true religion over infidelity. Writing of it in "Trans-Himalaya," Dr. Sven Hedin says of its celebration in the monastery town of Tashi-Luapo: "Lamaism is only a corrupt form of pure Buddhism, and under an outward varnish of Buddhistic symbolism has incorporated a number of Sivaistic elements, and has also retained the superstitions which in pre-Buddhistic times found expression in wild fa natical devil-dances, rites and sacri fices. The object of these ceremonies was to exorcise, banish or propitiate the powerful demons which reign everywhere, in the air, on the earth, and in water, and whose only function is to plague, torture and persecute the children of men. Lastly, Lamas dance in hideous masks with large evil eyes and Mephistophelian eyebrows, dis torted features and huge tusks; oth ers represent mythical wild beasts, all equally terrible." HAS WORKED HIS WAY UP William S. Kies. New Solicitor of Rail way, at 31, Heads Big Legal Department. Chicago.—William S. Kies, who re cently became general solicitor for the Chicago & Western Indiana rail way, is a native of Minnesota. Left an orphan when two years old, he worked his way through school and later through the University of Wis consin, supporting himself at the uni versity mainly by working on the uni versity paper. After his graduation, nine years ago, he came to Chicago and took a position as investigator for the Chi ■cago City Railway Company. When John P. Smulski was elected city at torney in 1903 Mr. Kies applied to him for a place in his office and re ceived it. Three years later he was made chief trial attorney, and in three years won about 90 per cent, of his cases. This record attracted the attention of many legal firms and corporations, and Mr. Kies finally accepted an offer from the Chicago & Northwestern railroad to become its general attor ney in Chicago. lie has held that po sition since 190 C, and now, at tiae age of 31 years, he finds himself at the head of the legal department c: an important railrvad system. Experienced. Johnny —My papa and mamma arc divorced. Freddy— Which have you got the ;ustody of? Farmers should eat more oatmeal. Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it comes to his own table. He feeds his stock carefully, avoids over-feeding and selects the stock food that he believes will give the best re turns in strength and general efficiency. If he has been watching the exten sive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Oats." Quaker Oats is mentioned because It is recognized in this country and Europe as the best of all oatmeals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else. 61 THOUGHT SO LITTLE. ChollyChumpleigh—l'm not afraid, dontcherknow, to say what I think. Miss Cutting Ilintz —You may not be afraid —but you ought to be ashamed. BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if It would return but It never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." A Mean Scheme. "Is your wife home?" "Yes; I got tired of having her away." "But I thought she intended staying four months?" "She did. I got the office boy to write on a card; 'Better come home. From a well wisher.' And she took the first train after receiving it." Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollur and fifty cents' worth of material will completely trans'orm a crude, inar tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart ment. Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike. That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money. Wall paper is expensive—it costs money to buy it, to hang it and again to re move it. With the use of the alabastined wall there is only the slight cost of the material -any one can brush it on —and it is not necessary to wash it off the wall when a fresh coat is required. It is very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but "the results are simply beauti ful. A whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of a single room when ordinary materials are used. And this is true, that now that we have eo much better materials for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as the old time white wash, tallow candles and rough hewn floors. Mere money is no longer an es sential in good housefumishing inartistic home making. The new materials and labor-saving ma chines are most welcome to usaal and every thoughtful woman, every woman who cares for her home, is quick to utilize them.

First, last and all the time, have a clean coffee pot. Don't wash it with common yellow laundry soap or pow der because that makes it smell bad and gives the coffee a sickening taste. Easy Task soap sterilizes coffee pots and all cooking utensils, making them clean, sweet and wholesomely healthy. That's the beauty of Easy Task soap— it is just as good for cooking vessels as lor cloth or painted work or glass ware or china. Not an expensive soap —five cents a cake. No Funds.

'J here is only one way to cure deafness, and that la by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deaf ness Is the result, and unless tho Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi tion. hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine casss out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothluf but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
