Mesopotamia to Boom.
Egypt, whose climate in winter is
quite similar to that of Mesopotamia,
is the goal each season of vast num
bers of tourists and other visitors.
This country of Mesopotamia and
Babylonia is not less interesting from
the view point of antiquarians and
arclieologists, while to the business
man and capitalist it offers even
more of interest, for it is apparently
just on the verge of tremendous com
mercial developments.

New York's Truancy Problem.
Truancy is on the increase in New
York city, and the board of education
complains of the indifference of par
ents. About 120 parents are taken
before the city magistrate each month
for violating the law. The largest
number are from among the Italians,
where there are the most children,
and the next highest number comes
from native born parents.
His One Chance.
The popular opinion of a critic is of
one who has not learned any science
or succeeded in any art, and is there
lore empowered to sit in judgment
on these who have. "Can you sing?"
asked the maestro of the aspiring pu
pil." "No!" "Can you play?" "No!"
"Then I don't see anything for you but
to teach music."
Not to Be Believed.
"The court does not see the neces
sity for according you time to speak
on behalf of your client, since he has
formally confessed his guilt." "Only
a moment, your honor," insisted the
lawyer. "1 only want to call your at
tention to the fact that my client is an
awful liar." —Philadelphia Ledger.
The Boss of the Place.
"Yes," said the determined man.
"when that waiter resented the small
ness of my tip I took the case to the
proprietor of the restaurant." "And
what did the proprietor do?" "He gave
the waiter some money out of his own
pocket and apologized to him for hav
ing such a customer."
Flattering!
Women, according to a German
philosopher, are the poetry of the
world, in the same sense as (he stars
are the poetry of heaven. Clear, light
giving, harmonious, they are terrestri
al planets that rule the destinies of
mankind.—Woman's Life.
Armor.
"Do you wear glasses because your
eyes are defective or because you
think they add to your appearance?"
asked the outspoken woman. "For
neither reason," replied the patient
man."l wear them to protect my
eyes from hat pins."
Live Now.
Don't spend all your time getting
ready to live, but "live now!" Thero
will never be a time when you will be
any nearer ready. The mere fact that
you are alining in the right direction
proves it.
Note fcr the Girls.
Statistics show that, baldness and
higher education go together. In oth
er words, the woman with a haystack
of hair on her head doesn't know as
much as the woman with a coiffure
of doorknob size.—Atchison Globe.
A Dilemma.
"A pessimist never seems to have £
good time?" "How can he? All the
comfort he can possibly get out of life
Is hoping that his opinions are entirely
erroneous."
Childhood's Eqrly Years.
Sometimes children are sent to
school to get rid of them; but the i(V>al
Is that the first seven years of the
child should be spent at the moth
er's knee.
Foxy Dipps.
"What a queer title Dipps bis given
his new novel; he calls it 'Solid Ce
ment.' " "Not so queer when you come
to think of it." "How's that?" "It
makes the best cellar."
Cn with the Dance.
She—"l'm afraid I'm tiring you
rather." He—"Oh, not a» all. I used
to be attendant to the elephant house
at the zoo." —Meggendorfer itlaetter.
The End.
When there ih nothing left for a
man to be enthug'astie over, he might
as well be dead.

AMD WHEN IT COMES TO VOTE.
TRUE TO HIS TRUST
PRESIDENT URGES LEGISLATION
DEMANDED BY PARTY.
influence of the Chief Executive Con
stantly Exerted in Favor of
Measures That Are Consistent
With Platform Pledges.
It will not be President Taft's fault
if the larger and more vital measures
which the administration has been
seeking to push through congress, in
fulfillment of Republican platform
pledges, do not take solid and enduring
form in laws. The weight of the presi
dent's influence is being exerted to
the utmost to force the passage of the
railroad bill now pending, and the
White House is doing all that it can
to insure the enactment of a postal
savings law and a law more carefully
and thoroughly covering the conserva
tion of national resources.
Congress is proving difficult to get
lu motion and keep going ahead in the
right direction, just as it was during
the Roosevelt administration. The
Taft program is meeting with formi
dable opposition from various quar
ters, and if the bills which have been
given the support of the president
shall become laws it will be a notable
tribute io his vigorous and insistent
championing of them. The chances
are that at least a part of the admin
istration program will go through,
however, without material change.
if this can be accomplished the
president will be able to face his crit
ics next fall with a record of prac
tical results achieved which will help
greatly in obtaining a favorable ver
dict from the people at the polls. He
knows that his administration Is on
trial, and he is not blind to the fact
that the public is a suspicious and ex
tremely critical jury this year. .Mr.
Taft. is quite human enough to be
•jager for approval for himself and his
party and he docs not intend to let
any important progressive measures
drift over to the next congress if they
caii bo disposed of creditably and
wisely now.
In seeking this end the president is
displaying a degree of force and ac
tivity in spurring congress to its tasks
which must surprise many who have
thought him too easy-going and too
quick to yield to strong opposition.
He is not a trouble seeker, certainly,
but it is equally clear that he does
not give way to stout antagonism
while a chance of success remains.
A Democratic View.
Perhaps the less said about Democ
racy in connection with the overturn
in the Fourteenth Massachusetts con
gressional district the better. That
district has not been represen'ed in
congress by a Democrat within the
memos y of living men, and there is no
sign that it ever will be.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1910.
APPEALED TO THE FARMERS
Sound Arguments Put Forward by
Congressman McKinlay on His
Kansas Tour.
Congressman McKinlay sowed a
great deal of good tariff seed on the
Kansas prairies during his recent tour
of the state and the Kansas prairies
are not usually barren grounds when
good seed is properly sown. Mr.
McKinlay made many strong points In
his defense of the Payne bill, but he
could hardly have scored more effect
ively with farmers than in his insist
ence on the fact that the farmers'
market is essentially a home market.
With 85 per cent, of all he raises con
sumed within the confines of this
country, one would imagine that the
farmer would be the last to advocate
anything which decreased the buying
ability of those to whom he sells.
That the consumers must be largely
wage earners f?oes without saying and
that wagre earners must be what the
name implies depends on their ability
to get employment. This ability to
get employment depends on the abil
ity of wage payers to give it and,
finally, this depends on Industrial con
ditions which involve prosperity in
mine and mill and factory and in all
the avenues of commerce. If America
Imports its shoes, clothing, machinery,
etc., it requires only the commonest
kind of common sense to understand
that the wages paid for manufacturing
these things must be paid to foreign
workmen, not to American labor that
composes the farmer's home market.
Congressman McKinlay, Speaker
Cannon and other Republican leaders
have shown time and again that a
majority of the articles and commodi
ties Imported are not dutiable, while
of those which are dutiable the great
majority are luxuries. As to the neces
sities of the people, either they have
been admitted free under the Payne
bilj, or the duties have been largely
reduced. It requires $400,000,000 a
year to pay the legitimate running ex
penses of the government, besides
millions more for pensions, etc. A
tariff bill which levies the larger
share of this burden upon the wealth
rather than upon the dinner pails of
the country would seem to deserve
the commendation of all who are not
blinded by partisanship of the most
stupid kind. —Kansas City Journal.
Nonsensical "Argument."
Raiiing at the alleged modesty of
the tariff concessions granted by Can
ada to the United States, the Philadel
phia Record says:
"This concession foots up $125,000.
Every little helps. Hurrah for Payne-
AldrichV That an endangered trade
of nearly $300,000,000 has been so lit
tle disturbed is truly providential.
President Taft is right; the Lord does
look after children, drunkards and the
United States."
He doesn't look after the cocksure
prophets who made themselves ridicu
lous by predicting that the minimum
maximum schedule plan would never,
never work except to provoke trado
wars and who are obliged to square
their exploded predictions with the
unwelcome reality.
Republican Naturally.
The man who goes to the polls now
adays to vote generally feels—and Is
given to feel —that he is not casting
his ballot or inadvisedly in the
perfunctory fulfilment of an ordinary
day's routine. lie does not think of
election dr>y3 as merely a whole holi
day, affording timely relief from his
ordinary arduous occupation. 110
thinks first of the ballot, and second
ly of the diversions that may follow.
He considers it his first duty on elec
tion day to vote, and to vote intelli
gently, and he dees not regard the
sacred light of suffrage as a joke.—
Philadelphia Ledger.
While the: Democrats in (ha house
are willing to vote with Insurgent
Republicans, the latter decline to act
with the Democrats in any of their
party maneuvers. No Republican o!
r.ny shade of opinion hankers aftej
Democratic husks.
DOWNWARD COURSE.
Kidney Troubles Grow Worse Every
Year.
Charles S. Bailey, 808 Locust St.,
Yankton, S. Dak., says:"l suffered
§ agony from kid
ney complaint
and was almost
helpless. The dis
ease grew worse
each year al
though I doc
tored and used
many remedies.
There were excru
ciating pains in
my back and the
urine passed too
"> freely. Doan's
Kidney Pills gradually helped me and
soon I was cured. Some years ago I
recommended them and have had no
trouble since."

HIS HANDS CRACKED OFEN
"I am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from tho
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite, sore since. 1 would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti
cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Ef

The Irish of Shakespeare.
An Englishman and an Irishman
were having an argument on the sub
ject of Shakespeare. "I defy you,"
said the former, "to find a single Irish
character in the whole of bis works."
"Well, I can give you two, at all
events," replied the Irishman. "Miss

Overhenpecked.
Former Governor Pennypacker, dis
cussing at a dinner in Philadelphia
the divorce evil, said with his humor
ous smile:
"Perhaps there would be less di
vorce if human nature were more per
fect. Some women, you know, hen
peck their husbands. There is, for ex
ample, a Bucks county farmer who
said the other day that he would cer
tainly apply for a divorce only his
wife wouldn't let him."
