2 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. H. H. MULLIN, Editor and Proprietor Published Every Thursday EMPORIUM, - PENNSYLVANIA Hotter even than March! _ They're polishing the sands of the seashore. An aeroplane does not seem to be mightier than its motor. An Illinois professor says skunks are edible. So are onions. "Patience is essential to fishing," says the Detroit News. So la good bait. Now some scientist suggests the vaccination of foodstuffs. We don't believe it will take. Once in awhile an automobile driver runs down a pedestrian, and once in awhile a motor cyclist doesn't. A New York doctor who has fasted JIJ days lost 35 pounds. But it should I/* noted that he had them to lose. If aeroplanes are used for carrying the mails, will the franks of the con gressmen entitle them to free rides? An aeroplane-motorcycle-auto race Is a novelty today, but what would it have been ten or fifteen years ago? With $30,000,000 worth of irrigation bonds on hand there should be no lack of moisture for the crops of tho west an J northwest. By general consent Professor Wood, who declares that skunks are good to eat, will be allowed to have the entire supply for his own use. The small-boy fatality is likely to be on the increase, now that the aviation experiment craze has seized upon the fancy of adventurous youth. Massachusetts man wishes release from the bonds of matrimony because his wife keeps thirty-one cats. Why didn't he buy a dog or so?

If Baron Munchausen had thought of this, his stories would have been rejected as too fantiistic to be funny. Says a cable from Calcutta: "Three men are reported frozen to death, and six killed by sunstroke in India, to day." India must bo nearly a3 big as Texas! The sultan of Sulit, who Is coming to visit this country, will be welcome, and the people would be glad to see the celebrated wizard of Oz at the same time. The average salary of the American preacher is but $6(53 a year. This Is pretty small when you remember what It costs the preacher to have dona tion parties at bis house.

FACTS OF HISTORY WHY REPUBLICANS MUST NOT BE OVER-CONFIDENT. Three Instances Which Show Danger of Allowing Democrats to Secure Control of Congress—Party Must Exert Itself. "Cheer up. boys," certain Repub lican politicians are saying to their followers. "The outlook for Novem ber is Improving, but even if the Dem ocrats win they are sure to make such use of their victory as to destroy their chances for 1912. They can't stand prosperity. Blundering is their forte, and they are usually on time." Underrating the enemy is poor gen eralship. The Democrats have com mitted many blunders, but they do not always blunder. On several important occasions in the past 30 years they have followed up one victory with an other. In 1874 they carried the house, and two years later came within one elec toral vote of carrying the presidency. No congressional slip of theirs on the eve of the Tilden campaign weakened them with the country. They secured a popular majority in 1876. In 1882 they carried the house, and in 1884 elected Mr. Cleveland presi dent. The ""Morrison-Randall division on the tariff did not show in the presi dential campaign. Upon the whole. Speaker Carlisle guided his house forces rema»rkably well during tlia first session of the Forty-eighth con gress, and distinguished himself as a presiding officer. In 1890 the Democrats carried the house by an enormous majority, there by dicrediting for the moment the work of the strongest Republicans in the country outside of the White House. Thornas B. Reed had revised the rules, and his lieutenant, William McKinley, had revised the tariff, and had they held their ground in the con gressional elections of that year, Gen. Harrison would probably have been reelected president two years later. But they lost to the Democrats, who, organizing the new house on conserva tive lines, helped materially to place the party in good position for Mr. Cleveland's third campaign. Judge Crisp in the speaker's chair was an assurance against extremism or flighty maneuvers. A Democratic house, sitting from December, 1911, until the following summer, might queer the party for its presidential contest, but here are three instances warning the Republic ans against putting such • a result down as a sure thing. Responsibility sobers men. It has been 18 years since the Democrats elected either a house or a president. Wh(le a vic tory now would be sweet, and might tempt extremists to folly, it would have a sobering effect on the great majority of the Democratic party and probably prevent them front playing into the hands of the opposition. The only correct appraisement of this year's contest is that which makes it the opening of the presi dential campaign. If the Republicans would go into the greater engagement with confidence, they should exert themselves to the utmost to hold the advantage they now possess. Relying upon the enemy to commit an act of folly at a critical time is neither mag nificent nor war.—Washington Star. Republicans Welcome Fight. For the Republicans thero could be nothing better than a square fight on the tariff question next fall. The more the Democrats and the insur gents discussed the question, the weaker would their cause become. Every semblance of popular opposi tion outside Democratic lines to the provisions of the present law has arisen from misrepresentation of what those provisions are. The Dem ocrats and the insurgents cannot af ford to let the light shine, to let the ! truth be told about the existing law. To tell the truth about the tariff would I he to Insure an overwhelming Repub lican victory. Denver Republican. Postal Savings Banks.

STATE TO BE REPUBLICAN Oklahoma More Than Likely to Lln« Up With the Party of Good Government. The unity among the Republicans of Oklahoma means that they will carry the state in November. In the state convention the Payne tariff act as well as the Taft adminis tration was praised In the platform, and an appeal was made to all the members of the party to get together in favor of the state ticket and of the candidates for congress. The state ticket, It Is safe to say, will be composed of capable and popular men. The party is In much better shape than It was In the state election of 1907 or In the presidential campaign of 1908. "I send greetings to the Republic ans of Oklahoma," said Mr. Taft, in a telegram to the convention,"and sincerely hope that their organiza tion will be effective to redeem the state, and to make Republican prin ciples victorious in the next election." There is a strong probability that this aspiration will come true. Gov. Has kell has been a very heavy load for the Democrats of the state to carry. Some of his eccentricities compelled the Democratic national committee in 1908 to remove him from his posi tion as one of Bryan's campaign man agers. His queer conduct in the state capital flght, now "on," has added to the number of his Democratic and Republican enemies. Although he will not be a candidate for re-elec tion, his record will turn thousands of votes against the Democratic ticket. The Republican party in Oklahoma is growing with great rapidity. It is growing from two sources—from im migration from Missouri, Kansas, Illi nois and other Republican communi ties, and from the secessions from the Democrats which the lunacies and fol lies of Haskell and the Democratic machine Incite. Haskell carried the state by >7,000 in 1907, but that was before Oklahoma had a chance to be come acquainted with him. Bryan's lead in 1908 was only 11.000, and Bryan was more popular in the south west than any other Democratic can didate would have been. In 1907 the Republicans elected only one out of Oklahoma's five members of the house of representatives. They elect ed three out of the five in 1908. Thoughtful Oklahoma Democrats are anxious to raise the social quarantine which Haskell's fantastics have erect ed against their state, and will co-op erate with the Republicans for this purpose. November 8, 1910, promises to see a good day's work done for Ok lahoma and for the Republican party. Truly remarkable is the record of legislative achievements made by con gress during the session now drawing to a. close. In many respects, It is without a parallel in recent congres sional history. In a single session nearly all the pledges made by the Re publican party in Its last national platform have been fulfilled.—Cincin nati Enquirer. TARIFF TO BE THE QUESTION Parties Sure to Line Up on That at the Coming Congressional Elections. To say that the Republican politi cians In congress are pleased with the outcome, is putting it too mildly. They are overjoyed with the results of the session and buoyantly hopeful of the future. What about the Democrats? Well, the Republicans say that the chief as sets of the Democracy are calamity and mistakes of the Republican party, and they don't see a visible supply of either asset In this Instance. The Democratic campaign will be made solely upon the tariff. It Is thought, and on that Issue the Republicans are willing to meet them in open field and fair flght. The Republican party Is to stand up for the tariff legislation of this con Kress, supplemented, as it was, by the provision for an Investigation and comparison of cost of foreign prod ucts, with a view to future reductions In the tariff where they can be shown to h' warranted with due considera tion of tie welfare of the American workingioan. The Democrats are still hopeful ot arousing the country upon tin* nil* *r«*d iniquities of the tariff legislation of this congress. The Republicans will meet their advance more than hall way. Republicans contend that the action of the Minnesota state convention de fending the tariff legislation, shows the sentiment In the supposedly weah ■voslern states, and they Insist that It Indii ales the existence of a seuti I,out favorable to the system of the protective tariff with a wtIIIhk»*--><• '<• trust the administration to smooth ( ut In. qualities lu the future, and, at any rate, not to turn the Job over tc the Democrats.

He is a native of New Zealand and is for ty-nine years of age. Recently Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary in the Brit ish cabinet, eulogized Gorst and his administration of Egyptian uffairs, but in spite of this Gorst is to be replaced by Sir Arthur Hardinge, cousin of the newly-appointed viceroy of India. There is an effort to make it appear tha{ the Roosevelt speech had nothing to do with Gorst's removal, but the people generally accept the idea that the government is taking the ex-prsident's ad vice and will rule In Egypt with a curb bit in the future. Egypt owes her present prosperity to the security which comes with the "foreign joke," but there exists a Nationalist party, the ambition of which is Independence. Mr. Roosevelt, in addressing these Nationalists, bluntly told them they were not fit for self-government and would not be lor several gen erations. In England, Mr, Roosevelt followed this up by telling the British their du ty was plain. In effect he said that If Great Britain had 110 right in Egypt It should get out. If it had a right there, then it should rule with a firm hand and establish and maintain order at all costs. | OLD GUERRILLA CHIEF OUT r-~~ ~—~~~~~~~~ ~~t Col John S. Mosby, the famous Confederate guerrilla of Civil war days has lost his position as a special attorney In the department of Justice, after eight years there. In the absence of Attorney General Wicker sham no explanation was made at the depart ment. Old age, thnt nightmare of superannuated government employees. It Is understood, was the main reason for the dismissal. Col. Mosby Is about seventy-three years of age To his old friends he appears active and energetic. He has been blind in one eye slnco he was a young man.and lately has been getting deaf. The colonel's history as a tlghtiug man, nls , achievements with a small band of guerrillas dur ing the great war between the states, has given him a place in history that has marked him for distinction for many years. lie was appointed a special attorney of the de partment early in the first part of the Roosevelt administration, and was as signed to break up the cattlemen's operations against government lands In the middle west. His fearlessness lu this work, In spite of numerous threats, won him the approbation of President Roosevelt. The colonel was one of the Investigators of the case which recently led to the sensational changes mado b> Senator Gore, and his dismissal so soon at'lerwurd Is regarded as signifi cant. Colonel Mosby became a Republican some lime after the Civil war, be lieving that to be the best method for securing concessions to the south.
