A Bright Blacksmith.
The greatest improvement in vehicle
construction was when some bright
blacksmith thought of heating the
tires and shrinking them on the wheel.
While many claim the honor, it is
not known to whom it rightly be
longs. Previously to this event tires
were made in short sections and held
on the felloes with nails. When start

laid in a good supply of nails to use
on the trip.—Shop Notes Quarterly.

WHY THE ELEPHANT
ANALYSIS OF VOTERS' FONDNESS
FOR THE BEAST.
Stubborn, Unyielding, Yet Intellectual,
the Symbol of Republicanism Has
Weight With the People for
Good Reasons.
It is very easy to fall out of patience
with the Republican party. For of all
thick-skinned, self-satisfied, ponderous,
immovable animals, it is undoubtedly
the worst. Some poet it surely was,
with an imagination that saw into the
essential heart of things, who dubbed
it the elephant. When once it has
taken its stand you can jab all day
without budging it. Building a fire
underneath Is about the best way of
obtaining progress.
Now just why the American people
prefer to deal with such an irrespon
sive brute is often hard to compre
hend. The nig point in his favor, of
course, is his intelligence. When he
does move, he moves in the right di
rection ; for he happens to possess the
ablest intellectuals in the business.
But a little less Intelligence and a
somewhat more obliging spirit would
surely do as well by the country and
every one would be in a much more
amiable frame of mind. So, why the
elephant,
The answer is unfortunately all too
plain. It was given only the other
day, for example, in an inconspicuous
observation of the Hon. Champ Clark,
Democratic leader in the house of rep
resentatives. Said he of the Repub
lican proposition to give plenary pow
ers of investigation to the tariff board;
"The house Democrats are uuited
in their opposition to it."
Think of it! Here at last is a
chance for the country to obtain the
information which everyone wants—•
the facts whereupon a proper revision
of the tariff by any party can alone be
made. And the Democrats will unani
mously oppose it—for fear, of course,
that it may help the Republicans get
together! Of course, the facts would
ultimately, if the Democratic dogma
is correct, annihilate the Republican
party. But never mind that. Hang
the principle of the thing—or even its
far-sighted expediency. Let's be as
pettily partisan as we can, say the
Champ Clark Democrats.
Is It any wonder that with such a
bray resounding in the air the Ameri
can people turn back peevishly to the
stubborn old elephant?— New York
Evening Sun (Ind.).
What the Tariff Law Is Doing.
The volume of business throughout
the country as shown by the bank
clearings continues to increase. The
indications at the beginning of March
were fully borne out by the figures
for the entire month. In which nearh
every financial center of Importance
showed material improvement over
March of a year ago. Total clearings
for the United States, according to the
j returns of the New York Chronicle,
j are $1 5,017.000,000. an increase of 19
j per cent. This is the highest March
total yet recorded, and shows that all
the ground lost during the panic has
: been made up. The total for March,
I 1909, was 112.621,000,000; for 1908, $9.
| 798,000,000; 1907, the previous high
j record, $14,657,000,000; 1906, $13,007.
000,000; 1905, 112,918.000.000. Early
I returns for April show continued
| activity. The Increase for the first
j week amounted to 11 per cent. Totals
for the first three months of the year
tell the same story; the 1910 figures
being $ 15.267,000.000, as compared
; with $29.9T.5.000,000 in 1908 and s4l.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1910.
TREASURY TO SHOW SURPLUS
Wist Administration of Country's Fi
nances Under Republican Rule
Is Proved.
When th-» present congress assem
bled in special session a little more
than a year age economy was the
watchword on every side, because the
treasury was confronted with a deficit
of $60,000,000 at the Mid of the fiscal
year ending with June, 1909. While
some improvement in revenue was
expected as a result of the revision of
the tariff an<' because of improving
business, there was a settled belief
that the fisca' year 1910 would also
show a good deficit
Now at the close of the tenth month
of the present year the federal treas
ury is found to be in a very strong
position. Instead of a deficit the pres
ent fiscal year now promises to close
with a substantia' surplus. The gov
ernment's receipts for the ten months
show an increase of $50,500,000 over
the corresponding ten months in 1909,
the increase being shown in both
tariff duties and internal revenue re
ceipts. On the other hand the or
dinary expenditures of the govern
ment. for the same ten months have
decreased about $2,000,000.
The deficit for the ten months Is
$16,700,000, against a deficit in the
previous year of $69,236,000. But the
treasury has paid out since July 1,
1909, $27,000,000 on the Panama canal
account. No bonds have yet been sold
to make good this expenditure, so that
the treasury has really to its credit on
the operations for the year so far
about $10,500,000.
The last two months of the fiscal
year will probably show surpluses and
at the end of the fiscal year the cor
poration tax will be turned into the
treasury, the revenue from this source
amounting probably to between $25,-
000,000 and $150,000,000. This would
bring the total surplus for the year up
to $40,000,000. It is very clear from
this that the treasury will have plenty
of money for all purposes from now
on, and that the nightmare of possible
bond issues has passed.
Barometer of Trade.
The production of iron in the United
States during the month of March
was at a slightly smaller dally rate
than prevailed during the winter, but
was still higher than any earlier rec
ord. The total for the month of
March reached 2,615,000 tons, as com
pared with 1,836,000 in March, 1909,
and 1,288,000 in March, 1908. The
total for the 12 months ending March
31, 1910, amounted to 27,703,000 tons,
as compared with 17,611,000 tons dur
ing the same period of 190S-9, and
22,166,000 tons in the corresponding
period of 1907-8.
Money circulation In the L'nited
States continues to expand, the treas
ury department's monthly statement
giving the total at $3,138,000,000 ot
$34.87 per capita, on April 1, 1910. In
1909 it was $34.85 and in 1908, $28.25
All Will Indorse Bill.
One thing, however, has been de
termined without doubt: The presi
dent and the entire legislation of this
congress. Including the tarifT bill en
i acted at the special session, w ill be
indorsed in the platform of every Re
publican convention. Kven those In
surgents who voted against the tariff
bill admit that they must indorse now
this Republican measure which has
proved so successful and beniliclal to
the people. It is true that the meas
ure of indorsement may vary at dif
ferent state conventions, but for the
j most part It will be satisfactory to
the president and the party leaders.
There can be no criticisms of a bill
that has proved to be so successful,
not only in the raising of revenue but
in bringing about prosperltj to nil
clames of people.

The Grace of .Plumes
TIIK diaphanous picture hats In
black or white, and the dead
white of chip hats, makes a
back ground upon which the
fancy of tlie designer can pose
her "dreams of beauty," in
materials and colors. Many colored
ostrich plumes have provided color
combinations that vie with those in
flowers. Ostrich, in two or three
shades of one color, in two or three
colors, and even in brilliant dashes
of many colors in the same plume
have been brought out and placed in
the hands of milliners throughout the
country. It is the grace of plumes
that endears them to the heart of
every designer of really beautiful niil
-1! lery. If securely fastened by the
stem to the body of the hat and left
to its own sweet will (or curve,
rather), and the law of gravity, the
ostrich feather will dispose its length
most gracefully. The trimmer can
not improve these lines which nature
has drawn with the supple quill and
dainty flumes. Blown by the wind the
airy fibers move in graceful lines and
come back to rest In the original po
sitions that they held before they
were disturbed. This is true of the
"skeleton" willow ostrich (plumes
with lied flumes* more especially. In
tying the flumes to lengthen them, the
manufacturer Is able to introduce new
colors or shades and produce blended

These plumes are light in weight
and very beautiful. In black they
have a tendency to come to pieces.
For some reason the black dye so ef
fects the feather that moisture makes
it shrink or "crawl" and the knots un
tie. But in colors they wear fairly
well. Women have been buying fragile
materials too long to dispense with
willow plumes on that account.
The natural ostrich plume with
wide spread of fibers, slightly curled,
should be selected if one is buying
black. A good ostrich plume, moder
ately heavy, and made of uniformly
good stock, will prove about the most
lasting article and the most satisfac
tory in which the investor in mil
linery can put her money. Two
plumes of this character will do serv
ice summer and winter. They are at
their loveliest on the black picture
| hat for midsummer. This hat, of
1 hemp or hair braid, with broad, sweep
| ing flare of brim, through which the
j light filters, is the ideal model for a
I "stunning" effect. It is cool looking
i and always distinguished. In white
1 with pluiiM sin while and black It
looks as chaste as frost, and throws
a becoming reflection upon the skin
'of the wearer. The wide brims re
cpiire this sweep of plumes in which
trimmers delight. ,
