What a mean thing the fly Is, any

Well, the aeroplane season seems to
bave a lively opening this year.
There seems to be just one reliable
get rich quick scheme; run an aero
plane.
Pretty soon the astronomers will be
at liberty to get back to the problem
of signaling Mars.
It must be convenient to have the
Japs to blame when anything goes
wrong with drydocks in the Orient.
Exclnsiveness can be carried too
far. Here's a Cincinnati dude who
carries his private street car strap.
That young man who. jumped Into
the river because his girl didn't lore
him merely carried into effect what
thousands have at one time or another
threatened to do.
In Mexico City the Mexicans put
flowers on the graves of the American
soldiers who "licked them to a stand
still" at Chapultepec. War develops
some queer sentiments.
It. is likely that the earthquakes in
Costa Rica have an origin like the
great earthquake in San Francisco—a
settling of the earth's crust. No vol
canic outburst sufficient to account for
the shakes in Cost Rica has been re
ported.
The Pennsylvania state department
of health is doing a good thing in
seeing tliat dealers in food supplies do
not expose eatables to flies. Now
that we know the fly for what he is,
we are bound to consider him more of
an enemy than ever.
French railroads are reported to
have forbidden kissing in the stations
with a view to accelerating train
service. O, that's all right. Let the
trains pull out. Most of the oscilla
tors are not passengers. It's a habit
and the station the best, place to in
dulge in it without attracting undue at
tention.
The women of a church in New
York are to have a church-going hat.
The ungallant men complained of the
big hats, which prevented them from
seeing the preacher, and the women
agreed to a reform. The men had
threatened to quit the church, but the
women countered by leaving them
■without a plausible excuse.
A Chicago paper says that it Is un
certain whether St. Louis, Boston or
Baltimore will prove to be the fourth
city in the country in population. As
St. Louis was about 66,000 ahead of
Baltimore and 15,000 ahead of Bos
ton, ten years ago, and growing much
faster than either, this is a cruel kick
from an old-time rival.
Nine thousand men will be employed
!n taking the census i-n Canada next
year. The department of agriculture
does the work over there, and mem
bers of the party not in power declare
that the census means that a fat slice
will be divided among "the smaller
type of partisans." Methods of taking
the census on this side of the line havo
much improved in recent years. Prob
ably Canada will folow suit in time.
And now a Japanese spy has been
captured In Ecuador. It appears that
Japan Is offering to help Peru in case
of war with Ecuador. The vigllanco
of our anti-Japanese talkers has evi
dently foiled the Mikado, and since he
despairs of getting a foothold in this
country he is intriguing in South
America. Since the trouble has shifted
to Ecuador, perhaps Mr. Hobson aud
his fellows will be quiet for a while.
The United States and Mexico have

NEW BUSINESS VENTURE
PEOPLE KNOW TAFT
MUCKRAKERS' USELESS EFFORT
TO DISCREDIT HIM.
Latest Attempt, In Connection With
the Ballinger Case, Is Ludicrous
—The Facts Stated From a
Disinterested Standpoint.
The latest attempt to discredit the
president of the United States is per
haps the lowest which has yet been
ventured by his enemies or by the
muckrakers whose only object is to
make money by selling slander and
defamation of character. It. is a story
told by a stenographer in the interior
department, for what inducements is
not definitely known, about the prep
aration of a statement of the Glavis
case —the Glavis part of the Ballinger
case —which seems to have been
adopted by President Taft as the
groundwork whereon he based his let
ter to Ballinger, acquitting him and
sustaining him, and authorizing the
dismissal of Glavis.
Taking the Kerby story as it stands,
the charge made is easily boiled down
to an assertion that the president was
given a draft of a letter which ho
might have adopted as his own, had
he so desired, and sent to Ballinger,
and that he did, in fact, make it the
base of his letter, differently worded.
It is like saying that a judge took a
carefully prepared brief submitted by
a lawyer, looked it over, considered it
a week or so, and then adopted its
views as substantially his own.
Thero is nothing mysterious or sus
picious about such a transaction. It
is the kind that takes place constantly
among men busy with lars<e afTairs. It
adds nothing of lmportaucu to the
Ballinger case. As for the story lurid
ly "played up" in yellow papers, about
the burning "at night"—ln the eve
ning- -of discarded drafts and unused
notes pertaining to the statement
submitted to (he president, it may
add, for the hour, to the gayety of the
nation, but it has no bearing upon the
merits of the liallinger case.
As for that grave matter, the posi
tion of the country -of every honest
man and decent newspaper -is still
that the truth, the whole truth and
the truth only, must be brought to
light and made the basis of the popu
lar and official verdict. It is relatively
unimportant who may be hurt or
benefited, or what the political conse
quences may b<> Truth, right and
justice are th» vital taciors in the
cose. Nothing else *hould count.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1910.
AS MEASURE OF ECONOMY
President Taft Wise in Asking Con
gressional Sanction for Employ
ment of Experts.
The president asked Chairman
Tawney to secure the insertion in the
sundry civil appropriation bill of an
item for the employment of business
experts to overhaul the operations of
the executive departments. Secretary
MacVeagh, upon assuming charge of
the treasury, enlisted the aid of sev
eral Chicago business experts, who
served without compensation, and as
a result of their efforts in one section
of the department considerable econo
mies were effected. This led the presi
dent to believe that the extension of
that inquiry might be equally valu
able.
There have been other attempts to
overhaul the departments, notably the
Keep commission, named upon the sug
gestion of President Roosevelt. That
commission, however, consisted of of
ficials and it savored somewhat of the
blind attempting to lead the blind, al
though some good was accomplished.
The introduction of business methods
by experts uninfluenced by experience
in political service may accomplish
more. The experiment of tho secre
tary of the treasury suggests that it
might be worth while and the econo
mies secured by the postofSce depart
ment indicate another probably profit
able field for their researches.
Deserves Support of Voters.
Attorney General Wlckershara,
speaking from his own knowledge of
the splendid leadership of President
Taft and of the faithful and earnest
efTorts of the national administration
to restrain monopolies and to preserve
the people's rights, draws the un
avoidable Inference that it is the duty
of all Republicans to fall in line be
hind the president and to support him
in his conscientious and indefatigablo
labors. This Is the right course not
only because it is for the Interest of
the people, but because the Hepub-
Hcan party can in this way alone main
tain the standing which has come to"
as a national factor from taking t.
had in regulating corporations and in
suppressing excesses. This is a case
where emphatically In union there is
strength, and union should be effected
on a practical basis, which is by keep
ing all th» forces of the party togeth
er behind the one man who Is In a
position to accomplish something that
Is ri-ally effective. The Republicans
In congress may well take the bint,
so that their party control may not
In- dissipated by the chasing of rain
bows.

HAMILTON NEW "AIR KING"
Gaynor to the mayor of Philadelphia and a letter from Governor Hughes to
the governor of Pennsylvania Hamilton enjoyed luncheon in Philadelphia,
tightened up a few bolts on his buggy shafts, gave the air horse a drink of
gasoline, bowed to the Philadelphians and started on his return to New
York city.
The return trip wasn't as easily accomplished as the one going, but
after surmounting some unexpected difficulties Mr. Hamilton reached the
starting point and accomplished one of the things that haa been predicted
for airships in the last few years—an intercity flight.
Hamilton made one of the fast engines on the Pennsylvania railroad that
was pulling a pilot train hump to keep up with hiin and smashed a few
more records. This aviator has Just recently come into prominence among
those who are now engaged in flying the skies, but those who know him say
he promises to be a leader In the sport. He has the courage and the neces
sary nerve and has made a study of the game.
Before autumn has passed there are to be flights between New York
and Chicago and St. Louis, for which big prizes have been offered. Hamil
ton's admirers say they will back him to win the race in which he is entered.
HEEDS CALL OF THE STAGE
procured a divorce and two minutes and thirty-eight seconds after obtaining
the decree was married to Edward J. Bowes, a wealthy real estate dealer.
Mr. Frohman didn't want a wife to darn socks; he wanted a great actress.
With Mr. Bowes the actress thought she would be able to enjoy the
home life she craved, and if reports are true Miss Illington would not be
returning to the stage but would keep on darning socks. It is the husband
who shoulders the blame. He says it was too great a waste of talent for
Miss Illington to wield the darning needle.
"Socks, eh!" exclaimed Mr. Bowes. "That's right; she can darn "em.
Nary a hole in these o* mine. And when she goes out on the road I'll go
along when I can. She'll have her own private car and can take the socks
along. Haw, haw, haw."
Mr. Bowes will spend about $50,000 In launching his wife's new venture.
That much cash would pay for darning the liolea of a whole lot of socks.
PREDICTS MONEY HEPTARCHY

Kahn and Mortimer L. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.; John B. Dennis of Blair Co. ;George F. Baker, Jr.. of the First
National bank, and James Stlllman, Jr., of the National City bank, all of New
York.
Mr. Ryan made this prediction as he was about to sail for Europe, a
voyage which he says was not to be tuken because he Is on the verge of col
lapse. but for pleasure mixed with business. Some time ago Mr Ryan withdrew
from many of the corporations In which he was Interested and since then
he says he has slept liko a baby and hasn't seen his physician for four
months.
Just at present ho saja he Is moro Interested In the Kongo development
than anything else.
"I expect to glt» a great deal of attention to It,"he said. "It Is not at
oil unlike ly that I shall make a visit there. The mines In which I am Inter
ested are Just north of those known as King Solomon's mines. The outlook
for gold thtre is probably unsurpassed anywhere lu the world."

In these days of startling feats in the air the
people are prepared for almost anything. A few
days ago Glenn Curtiss boarded his biplane in
Albany and in a remarkably short time landed
his craft in New York city. He broke some rec
ords and amazed thousands with the ease with
which ho sailed through the air and kept up
with a fast train.
Then came Charles Hamilton. This daring
aviator got up early one morning stepped into
his aerial buggy and enjoyed a little drive over
to Philadelphia. Thousands were out to see him
start from Governor's island, but more thousands
in Quakerdom saw him step nimbly from the air
craft after circling around the aviation field and
cutting up several didoes.
After he had delivered a letter from Mayor
Which would you rather do, darn socks, mend
your husband's shirts, sew on buttons and attend
to the duties of a nice home, or appear on the
stago in a great play and hear the applause of
hundreds as you scored a big hit?
It is safe to say that nine out of ten women
would prefer the stage. Margaret Illington was
confident seven months ago that she would like
to darn socks. She already was a great actress.
She said she didn't like it. She was an Illinois
girl, and when she went on the stage used
Bloomington, her birthplace, and Illinois in ma
king up the name "Illington." She was married
to Daniel Frohman, one of the great men in the
theatrical world. They Just agreed to disagree
and Mrs. Frohman went to Reno, Nev., now more
famous because of the Jeffries and Johnson fight,
Thomas Fortune Ryan of Virginia and New
York, who has a few dollars stored away for a
rainy day himself, has divided what he regards
as the present financial monarchy of America,
If not of the world, into a heptarchy, which
means that the world of money Is to be gov
erned by seven kings.
He declared J. Pierpont Morgan to be su
preme monarch of the existing money empire,
anil said that the monarch will have no succes
sor, but that his kingdom will be divided among
seven young financiers now In training in New
York city.
The men he named to form the heptarchy are
J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and Henry P. Davidson,
of the firm of J. P. Morgan Ac Co.; Otto H.

Conscienceless Interrupter of Suffra

and Wiser Man.
The suffragette meeting was In full
blast. Enthusiasm was rampant and
every remark the distinguished leader
made was cheered to the echo.
"And now we come to personal cour
age," cried the speaker, excitedly;
"our masculine enemies try to deride
us with such allusions as 'frail fem
ininity,' or 'weaker vessels,' but we can
show more bravery than men."
"Aye, aye, sister!" echoed a mighty
chorus.
"When it comes to real danger we
fear nothing."
"Aye, aye, sister!"
"Now, take sister Horn, our worthy
fighter and vote getter of this district.
She fears nothing. Two nights in
succession sister Horn came home
from one of our enthusiastic meet
ings and found a mfcn under her bed."
There was a short pause. Then a
little emaciated chap who had crept
to the front unobserved arose and
stretched his arms.
"H'm!" he ejaculated, with a deep
yawn. "I'll bet a dollar agin a plug
of tobacco that man was her husband
Keeking safety."
And when the little emaciated chap
finally recovered his bearings he was
