President Taft can view the pro spective .adjournment of Congress, like a harvester in the field of a phenomenal yield. As those dis cerning friends of the administra tion who from the first sized up the President as a synonym for effect iveness affirmed, he has made good. He has given the country legislation pressed down and i tin ning over. The close of the ses sion will witness practically every measure for which Mr. Taft stood enacted and entered upon the statute books. When it is con sidered that the tendency for the administration's past has been to place to the record of a president some one leading measure, the number and importance of the measures passed through the stead fast insistence of Mr. Taft upon the fulfillment of the pledges of the party is remarkable. The key note of the administration has been "good faith," says the Baltimore American, one of the most able as well as conservative journals. The President lias not sought to project his personality into the spirit of his times. lie lias not sought to acquire it reputation for domination; lie has never given the personal equation a thought; he ha simply declared that the platform which he was largely re sponsible in framing, av.d upon which he sue-f -fuly .-tood for the presidency, would be tarried out It must not be an instrument hon ored iu the breach. Very "'sim ple, very stright forward, but no other kimi of appeal could have been luiif so effective. What did thi kimi • 112 policy e!'i' ?

Mr. Taft has created no excitement; he lias put no pan ic ferment into the loaf of domes tic prosperity. The Railroad Hill is radical—concededly so—but it is not immoderate; it is radical only by comparison, and not in any feature of impracticability. Its action will benefit the railroads, the shippers and the public. The Postal Savings Bank Bill is a triumph of the first magnitude against the contentions set up against it. Those who believe that it was purely a buncombe measure have had their eyes open ed. It will be one of the construc tive measures of national breadth to the credit or the adminstration. It w ill lead to popular saving and strengthen the monetary stability of the country. The Statehood I»i 11 as finally passed will be in creasingly regarded as a measure of justice, adding to the dignity of the community of American States. The Conservation bill is rational, conservative and constructive. Despite the fuss and fury of the investigation Mr. Taft has gone ahead to have passed a bill that will do much to make practical the subject by giving legal warrant and legal process, as well as legal check and certification in relation to disposition of the public do main. The Tariff Board has been made an effective body, and will prove of service to the country in the increasing complexity of tariff duties upon articles of import. Such are some of the measures that will make Mr. Taft famous and that will mark his adminis tration as the constructive, econ omic administration of an out-and out legalist,. who in the lesser mat ters of the mint and cumin does not lose sight of the weightier con cerns of the law and judgment.

"If CAMERON COUNTY T RESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 30 1910. Penrose's Predicts 200,000 Majority. WASHINGTON, D. 0., JUNE 28. —Sen- ator Penrose, who came to Wasbinn ton for the adjournment of Congress, having been absent for some time on account of illness, returned home last evening. He will take his usual sum mer outing in Montana, but will be back in Philadelphia for the opening of the campaign, about the first of September. The Republican State committee's headquarters to Philadel phia will open for active work 011 September 1. Members of Congress and others with whom Senator Penrose talked during his stay here say that he pre dicts one of the largest majorities Pennsylvania has ever given for a State ticket. The Senator, they say, mentions 200,000 as in round numbers the majority he expects to see. Ho is also quoted as saying that the excel lent administration of President Taft will be approved in the return in Con gress of a Republican reember for at least every district now represented by a Republican. Dreadnaught Cars. According to an announcement made to-day, the Pennsylvania Rail road System has in service on its lines, or on order, nearly two thousand pas senger cars of all steel construction. These cars have been added to the Company's passenger equipment since June, 1906, when it was announced that all future additions to passenger equipment on the Pennsylvania Sys tem would be of all steel construction. The Lines of the Pennsylvania Sys tem, on all of which steel cars will be operated, include the Pennsylvania Railroad Lines East and West of Pitts burg and Erie, the Long Island Rail road, the Cumberland Valley Railroad, the New York, Philadelphia and Nor folk Railroad, the Vandalia Railroad, and the Grand Rapids & Indiana Rail way. The Pullman Company is at present constructing a sufficient number of steel sleeping and parlor cars to equip the entire Pennsyluania System. These cars tire now being delivered at the rate of from 50 to 60 a month. Al ready there are in service on through trains 75 sleepers, and 5 combined par lor and baggage cars. When the pre s nt order is completed there will be in service 011 the Pennsylvania System seme 600 all-steel Pullman cars; this number is included in the 1938 cars now in use or on order. The steel passenger cars on the Pennsylvania System have been called "Dreadnaught" cars by reason of their construction. They weigh some 113,- 500 pounds as against 85,000 pounds in the standard vestibule wooden coach. This increase in weight very greatly reduces the vibration of the c«r, there by adding to the comfort of passen gers. The car is noncollapsible, its principal feature being a central box girder twenty-four inches wide by nineteen inches deep extending throughout the entire length of the coach; this girder, in collisions, pre vents telescoping. The ear is fire proof, containing only about 125 pounds of wood; the latter is used for window frames and arm rests in the seats in the steel equipment now in ser vice, there are 157 coaches, 22 dining cars, 34 passenger and baggage ears, 23 baggage, 7S postal and HO Pullman cars. In addition to these there are on order or under construction at the pre sent time, 502 steel coaches, 28 steel diuing cars, s:s passenger and baggage cars, s;t baggage, postal, 2s baggage and mail, I combination motor car, and some 520 Pullman cars. With the 7u4 steel cars in use at pre sent, aud the 1,2 st cars on order, the Pennsylvania System will shortly have available for use on its lines Kast and SVe«t of Pittsburg and Brie a total of 1,900 solid steel passenger iqiiipmeilt cars.

Independence Day in coining; day of powder-poisoning and lockjaw; day of hospitals find ambulances; day of muti lation and tire and death. If there is anything that is sane in the American people it is the growing re volt against our inßane manner of cele brating the Fourth of July. It might be called "Incendiaries' Day"; for on that day the fire llend runs riot. No man having any public responsibility fails to dread it. No fire department gets through the day, and the nights 011 both sides of it, withoutexhaustion. It is doubtful if on some fifth of July an entire city may not complacently burn itself up in the faces of firemen and flro horses too exhausted by silly firecracker fires the day before to cope with it. The fire-fighting apparatus of our cities and towns is so over-'axed by the numberless calls which begin 011 the evening of July 3rd that response to possible summons for help by neigh boring towns or cities is impossible. What fire chief would dare allow even a hose wagon togo beyond immediate recall while alarms in his own city are coming in at ten-minute intervals? Even the large number of false alarms, due to the reckless use of the day, have their dire significance, for they tire out the horses and the men, and reduce the ability of the department to cope with actual fires. When the gong begins to ring at headquarters, its call is as im perative for a rubbish heap abluzo as it is for the home of a citizen. The wear and tear of the apparatus, and even the injury to the horses during thirty-six hours of almost constant runs, may be as great for false alarms as for real ones. It seems a sort of folly almost too un speakable to relate, but there are ir_ stances where American firemen have been killed in runs to fires 011 July 4tb by being thrown from trucks by fright ened horses swerving from their course at explosives thrown under them as they galloped past. Never an "Independence" Day but scores of human beings are made dc pendent for life. Life and limb are jeopardized by explosives thrown from windows above the level of the street, setting fire to clothing and menacing the eye-sigh'' of those passing, while upon the child, who 111 his innocent love of noise and objective demonstra tion responds to our present absurd kind of celebration, falls the heavy hand of disaster When our civiliza tion was not so complex, it was possible for those who had the courage to leave their homes to the mercy of possible conflagrations, to shut them up and es cape 'o the quiet of the country. Not so to-day. The trolley car and the automobile follow the seeker after pence to his country retreats, throwing ex plosives at his head as they rear j ast in their reckless irresponsibility. And for what? Nobody stops to in quire. N >body any longor cares. We have gotten wholly away from the edu cational significance of "Indepen dence" Day, and lost ourselves in an orgy of fire and noise. It is, perhaps, too much to expect any sodden return to sanity; but some eftort at least may be made by cities and towns toward leading their people into more moderate anil more intelii gent forms of celebration. If explos ives must be used the authorities eun limit their use to the public parks dur ing certain hours of the day, where the folly-hunters may kill anil maim them selves aud each other to heart's con tent, without injuring other people, or destroying property by fire. The fir ing off of explosives among the closely built shingle-rooted frame houses, which compose the greater part of our cities, is wholly in accord with the reckless spirit of Americans regarding tire. If before every Fourth ot July all cities and towns were tdven a thorough cleaning of rubbish, ami all use of ex plosives then restricted as to time and place, the police and public wardens might have at least a fighting chance to minimize the disastrous results of our public folly during the years it may require to iuspire 111 our people a do sire for a rational kind of celebration. Aud such a desire must be inspired It is the ilut) of every city to arrange for iU people nllitable amusement* or ex er< idee definitely calculated to educate them in a rational observance of this historic holiday. Habits of folly can be most sadly eliminated by a »üb*ti tution ot something better. The tbiugs a city can do to iuterest its eitisens 111 s sstie and wholesome eelsbratiou are unlimited, and the municipalities which, ill the pa»t two yesrs have lakt-u steps iu this direction, are already re ceiviug national praise (or their wU doiu aud their high sen «e ol civic re s possibility Independent s Day of Win Is coiutng. to wlisl city, what town, wtist mother or father is it thta year to bring suiter tug or sorrow the day alter' Juue, Itflu.

AEROPLANE RAGES AVIATION WliliK AT ATLANTIC CITY It is not a far cry back to "Darius Green and his flyin' machine" when aerial navigation was considered impossible. To-day Atlantic City is preparing for a great Aviation Meet from July 2 to 11, when three of the greatest flyers of the modern world will demonstrate their mastery of the air. Glenn H. Curtiss, the holder of the world's record for speed, will fly daily from July 4 to ir. Walter E. Brookins, who holds the record for high flying, will give exhibitions July 7 to 11 in a Wright aeroplane. This is the first contest between the Wright and Curtiss machines. It is also expected that Charles K. Hamilton, the great long distance aviator will be present and race from July 7 to 11. There will be prize events each day, including a fifty-mile flight over a five mile circular course, and prize high flying, July 7 to it, directly over the beach front and ocean. The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to Atlantic City, and excursion tickets are 011 sale from all points. Connections aie made in Broad Street Station, Philadelphia, with trains over the Delaware River Bridge, all-rail route. 556-20-11. I SAY DO vol KNOW WHO I AM: WI LL IK YOU DON'T. ASK SOMT.HODY.
