MERE SILLY GABBLE
COMMENT OF WINSTON CHURCH
ILL SOUNDS FOOLISH.
His Comparison of Taft and Roosevelt,
and Prediction of Coming Demo
cratic Success a Ridiculous
Mass of Rot.
Winston Churchill has written some
clever stories of American life, and
maybe his only claim to notice Is
based upon them. But he has made
a shy at politics, too, and asks consid
eration on that score.
He is on his way home from a for
eign trip, and interviewed in London
about the political situation in the
United States, declared that It was
blue lor the Republicans. A Demo
cratic victory in November would not
surprise him. He picks Mr. Roose
velt for 1912, and hopes to see him
the candidate.
Mr. Churchill does not seem to
know that the men who have con
trolled the Republican party for the
past quarter of a century are the
men who elected Theodore Roosevelt
Governor of New York in IS9B, vice
president in 1900 and president in
1904. Mr. Roosevelt was glad of their
support, and in office worked with
them with a will. He left the White
liouse last year on excellent terms
with the great majority of them.
Why should the party cast them out,
and at the same time prepare to ac
cept the leadership again of the man
who with their aid made so great a
name for himself and accomplished so
much form the country?
We hear frequently and from many
sources criticism of Mr. Taft for the
relations he holds with Mr. Aldrich
and Mr. Cannon. Why has he not
barred the door against them? Why
should he be visited by, and give his
confidence to, leaders so roundly de
nounced by men and newspapers of
prominence in Republican councils?
By whom, except representatives of
the interests, is either .Mr. Aldrich or
Mr. Cannon trusted today? And so
forth.
Do not the men who talk in this
strain know that Mr. Roosevelt while
in office gave his confidence quite as
fully to Mr. Aldrich and to Mr. Can
non as Mr. Taft has ever done? Did
the doors of the White House ever
swing wider at the approach of the
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee or the speaker of the house
than during the seven years' occu
pancy of that building bv Theodore
Roosevelt? Did not Mr. Roosevelt pay
public tribute to Mr. Cannon? And
is it not a widely accepted belief in
political circles that it was the in
fluence of Mr. Aldrich that prevented
Mr. Roosevelt at the beginning of his
second administration, so to say, from
taking up the tariff question?
Why, then, all this gabble about
putting Mr. Taft out and Mr. Roose
velt in again on the allegation that
the former keeps, and the latter did
not. keep, bad company? Are Mr. Al
drich and Mr. Cannon worse men now
than a year or so ago? What proves
It? No rot deserves more justly the
description of tommyrot than the rot
Mr. Churchill and his friends are as
siduously circulating.
Minnesota, Too.
Tl.e action of the Republican state
convention of Minnesota was on the
tame lines and dominated by the

convention of Wisconsin.

it was enthusiastic. This was, in fact,
the keynote of the convention. The

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 19x0.
HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXULT
Republican Party Has Done Well, and
the Leaders Are Accordingly
Pleased.
The political situation at the close
of congress could not be more fitting
ly expressed than in the following
from the Washington Star:
"Where are the fond Democratic
hopes of yesterday?" Republicans in
congress asked today as they contem
plated the record of legislative
achievement of a Republican congress,
under a Republican president. The
question was suggested by recollec
tion that only a short time ago the
Democrats were flushed with expecta
tion of sure victory In the ft 11 elec
tions, based upon possible failure of
constructive legislation.
Less than a month ago the Demo
crats were loud in jubilation over the
seeming plight of their opponents.
Some Republicans, too, of faint heart,
were willing to hedge their bets for
an even break on the prospects of
carrying the next house.
At that time the outlook was
gloomy. The railroad bill, the postal
savings bank bill, the statehood bill
and other administration measures
Were apparently hopelessly bogged
down in the mire of party factional-
Ism and partisan opposition.
President Taft, with his back to the
wall, figuratively, was fighting off a
horde of snarling, snapping adversa
ries, some of them in his own party.
The president's friends had their
hands full in pleading for a square
deal for his administration and the
congress. He never turned a hair;
never showed that he heard the yelp
ing of the pack.
Within a week it has dawned upon
the country that quietly, unostenta
tiously, without beat of drum or sound
of cymbals, the congress and the ad
ministration have carried out a record
breaking program of legislation.
"The greatest record since the civil
war," is the claim officially made for
the session's work by the Republican
whip of the house, John Dwight, of
New York, and he produces the list
of laws enacted to prove it.
The administration leaders in con
gress have been claiming all along
that all that was needed to insure
the approval of the country of this
administration and congress was a
fair trial of the administration's abil
ity.
They got it, and now they are confi
dent that the country will appreciate
the result. The next step is a vigor
ous campaign, with sturdy carrying of
the load of insurgency, handicap that
it is. The insurgents, it is claimed,
will be saved in spite of themselves.
The tail will go with the hide in the
coming elections, the leaders think,
helping to make up a safe working
majority in the next house of repre
sentatives.
STAY IN THE PARTY CAMP
Factional Strife Among Republicans
Will Ee Settled Within the
Organization.
It is called to public attention by
the Cleveland Leader, that "whatever
the difference among Republicans in
respect to party policies and leaders,
it is evident that there is a general
determination to settle all disputes
and difficulties inside the Republican
organization. There is warm work
between the factions, but they stay in
the Republican camp."
In the opinion of the Norwalk Re
flector, "this is proved by the very
large vote cast at primary elections.
In South Dakota, for instance, the to
tal vote for the three Republican con
dldates for governor fell only a small
fraction short of the vote cast tor
Taft in the last presidential year.
The number of voters who went to
the polls and took part in the pri
maries after classifying themselves
as R< publicans, was extraordinary.
' Such 1 <u: iltivns indicate that liein
ocratic hopes founded upon Republic*
an dis' union.- r< st on < xtremely un

| JOHN MITCHELL'S WORK
John Mitchell, former president of the United
Mine Workers of America, continues to work for
the improvement, advancement and safety of the
(ff man who toils with his hands.
£/ ~A\ For a couple of years now, Mr. Mitchell has
Ji I been connected with the National Civic Federa
tion, an organization backed by Andrew Carnegie
IKP anfl other millionaires. His office has to do with
vS /(*'/£A ' the welfare of the workingman and results of his
M f #m . Si I work have shown that no better choice could
\ have been made.
K John Mltchell ls a self made man - lle knows
~ tjj\W what it is to toil in a coal mine. He has gone
down in the pits not knowing whether he would
/ lK Wjjfh,. come out alive. He has had some narrow es
r///////A /~S, MIIIIM capes, and he has seen his companions and
friends die at their work. He is noted for his
kind-heartedness. In the fall of 189S he was vice-president and organizer of
the United Mine Workers of America. There was a striko at the Virden Coal
company's mine in Virden, 111. For days the striking miners camped around
the stockade the company had erected for the protection of its property. Mr.
Mitchell, acompanied by several newspaper men, visited the camp of grim
toilers one night, and the sights he witnessed touched his heart. Then came
the day when the company attempted to land a train-load of negroes from Ala
bama to take tho places of the white men. Governor Tanner had refused to
order out the militia to protect negroes from other states. There was a riot.
Nineteen or twenty men in the ranks of tho strikers fell dead under the
shower of .bullets from rifles used by hired detectives from an agency in St.
Louis. Negroes were killed, and one or two guards slain. The engineer of
the train was shot through the arm.
Then came John Mitchell again. He was what might bo called the angel
of mercy to the stricken families of the miners. He wasn't violent; he coun
seled peace. There was an element in the ranks of the union men, who
thought Mr. Mitchell too peaceful, but in the long run his policy was found
to bo the winner! No man ever did as much for the miners as he.
The other day ho; went out to St. Louis from New York and talked on the
sub.iect closest to his heart —that of placing safeguards around the working
man. He said their were more persons killed in the United States each year
in the peaceful industrial pursuits than would be killed if this oountry and
England were continually at war, and three times more than in any other na
tion. He urged the need of an automatic compensation for victims cf indus
trial acidents in lieu of tho employers' liability protection.
| GORE SHOCKED SENATORS
Thomas Prvor Gore, the blind senator from
I -= — Oklahoma, caused his fellow members of the Uni
§ted States senate to sit up and take notice a day
or so before the adjournment of congress. It
takes a great deal to cause the staid old senate
to show anything like a panic, but when Senator
Gore intimated that an effort had been made to
bribe him to the extent of $25,000 to §50,000 in
connection witli legislation affecting $3,000,000 in
attorney's fees for services rendered to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, in land and
township sites, the senator gave immediate at-
Then when the senator involved two former
members of the senate in tho alleged plot the
upper branch of congress strained its ears to
catch every word. The senator's charges reached
across the capitol to the house side, and a member of tho lower branch also
was dragged into the affair.
Of course the senate ordered an investigation, but it has since been
found that no money is available and it may be some time before the matter
is thoroughly threshed out.
Ry reason of being blind, Senator Gore attracts unsual attention In con
gress. When he was eight years of age ho was acidentally struck with a
fctlek by a playmate and he lost his left eye. Three year slater the senator
suffered the loss of his right eye, when an arrow from a cross-bow, drawn by
another playmate, struck him.
Mr. Gore did not let the loss of his eyesight interfere with his schooling,
j He was graduated from a normal school and then went through Cumberland
: university, in Tennessee. He was married to Miss Nina Kay, in 1900, and
j nhe has been a great help to him in his reading. He removed to Texas in
: 1895, and was a delegate to the National Populist convention In St. I.ouls, in
j 1890. He was nominated by tho Populists as a candidate for congress, but
, wan defeated. After he had removed to Oklahoma in 1901 he became a mem
j ber of the Territorial council, and when Oklahoma became a state, he was
| elected senator.

Unflattering Truth.
A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let clip
the better truth.
"We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, 'cause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em out awful far!"
