2 JGAMERON COUNTY PRESS. H. H. MUM,IN, Kditor and Proprietor Published Every Thursday EMPORIUM. - PENNSYLVANIA Ice water guzzling can be overdone. Summer life is ouo lonj; sweet ice creani. Say, now, aren't these the days you wanted two weeks ago? The air will be free for a year, the courts d&cide. Save your air! Aviation is rapidly becoming the nation's favorite outdoor sport Boiled down, the hot weather ad vice calls for temperance in all things. As a matter of fact, it is generally supposed to be warm at this season of the year. It is the duty of the law to punish the man who is not now merciful to his beast. Whenever invented the hobble skirt must have had an awful grudge egainst womankind. Peoria wants to borrow $.">,000,000. There are others but they haven"t the nerve to mention it. There are some knotty problems that will have to remain unsolved un til the hot wave passes. Going shopping for porch furniture and bathing suits seems worth while even on the hottest day. New York persists in the thought that it is a world's fair in itself. It has ail the sideshows, anyway. Though the aeroplane could not con duct a war all by itself it could give the enemy a severe nervous chill. If the world were your oyster would you open it now or wait until the oys ter season begins next September? King George must be a deliberate ruler, lie hasn't even discharged a fourth-class postmaster since he went into office. Robins are reported to be eating all the cherries in York state. That is probably what the robins think they are there for. Prof. Schiaparelli, who discovered the canals on Mars, is dead without ever having had a chance to explore them in a motor boat. That chauffeur who Inherited S 1,500,- 000 must have felt almost as happy as when he reads his taximeter after an all-day shopping excursion. Expert opinion seems to be that a woman who wears a hobble skirt looks like the sort of a woman who would wear the fool thing. Two prisoners In the jail at Coopers town, N. Y., sawed their way to free dom with a razor blade. That kind of razor blade is common enough. With great tact the Minneapolis committee In charge of the Interna tional convention for the prevention of smoke entertained the delegate* at a banquet instead of a smoker. A New Jersey man convicted and about to die in the electric chair up braided his attorney for "butting in" and saving him from death. The man probably always has lived in New Jer sey, and scarcely could be blamed for being disappointed when escape was In sight. The anti kissing crusade has prog ressed to the point where friends and relatives will be asked not to kiss bride-, and fathers and mothers not to kiss tl.c r babies. I tut the kissing of brides and liable* was done long before .- mltary osculation crusad- • were thought of, and Is apt to survive tie in.

Splendid Record of the Party in Pow er Makes Certain the Verdict That Will Be Returned by the Voters. Champ Clark brought "glad tidings of great joy" to the Tammany braves July 4, predicting with typical Demo cratic fervor of a stuinp spech on In dependence day, that victory would certainly "perch" on the banners of the Democratic party not only in the congressional election this fall, but in the "main event" two years hence. The Democrats have chosen for their slogan in these campaigns "The ad ministration's extravagance, the tariff and the trusts." On either or all of these issues the Republicans have by far the better of it and will "out class, out fight and out-last" the opposition, if the voters have anything approach ing ability to weigh facts and vote ac cordingly. if the Taft administration has ac complished anything at all it has been substantial reductions in the operating expenses of the government. This is a tremendously big country, with lots of people working in it. The nation's "cost of living" is constantly rising, in the very nature of things. .Not even the opposition of the Democrats can keep the country from expanding. It is a billion dollar country and the ap propriations of the session of congress just closed were not abnormally large or greatly in excess of those for re cent sessions. The cry of national ex travagance is not substantiated by the facts. On the tariff issue the Republicans should win as easily as Johnson. The Democracy cannot "come back." It was able to knock out lilaine and Har rison and Cleveland and exhibited something like championship form. But the Democracy cannot stand the ad versity which it always brings, com bined with the prosperity which Re publicanism—real Republicanism, that is to say—always affords. The "glad tidings" based on the hope of winning on the tariff issue will look like some of the predictions of the high brow fight experts just before the late un pleasantness. As to the trusts, if the people want more done to them than has already been done, they would better vote the Debs ticket straight. The Republicans have achieved results. The Democracy has a choice assortment of weird, rabid theories which would, if put into practise, do no particular damage to the trusts beyond what would be in volved in the general demoralization, if not destruction, of the whole indus trial system of the country. At times the Republican policies have verged on the dangerous and in some in stances have actually crossed the line. Hut on the whole the severe but rela tively conservative treatment of the problem has accomplished enough practical good to satisfy the demands of all but the most drastic radicals.- President Taft's Source of Strength. It is said that Mr. Taft has ob tained a large part of the legislation that he wished, and this is due in great part to a quiet insistence on his part rather than to the exhibition of strength or the use of more dictatorial methods than he has pursued. In making this continent upon Mr. Taft's history up to this time in the White House, undoubtedly a fact has been stated, but we shall lose the point of it entirely if we do not go beyond and see what the conclusion is that we are to draw. It is, namely, that the result of Mr. Taft's methods shows what Is gradually dnwnlng upon the world, that the least important force Is that known as physical, whether in Its coarser or more refined forms, and that the clumsy methods of noise mid overbearing display of strength must always yield before an idea, provided that lde-i b«' good. It Is not Mr. Taft's Idea or anybody's idea of right that wins, but It Is the Ideu Itself that wins and carries us forward.—Christian Science Monitor. Credit Belongs to President. When Mr. Taft's administration opened he hald unequivocally that li would be an administration run with due regard t<> the government's In come Uuiost Ills lirst executive sets were roni'i -i d with the establish un lit of a bualliens system In the de partments through which money could be saved to the people by foresight and strict economies.

UNFAIR TO AMERICAN WORKER Democratic Policies Would Mean Sub jecting Them to Ruinous Com petition. China is threatening to repeat what has been done in Japan in the way of manufacturing for export. Shanghai has eight large cotton mills in which are employed over 30,000 Chinese at spinning and weaving. In one mill 1,000 persons are employed in day and night shifts, the children earning about four cents a day, and the wages of adults averaging no higher than 20 cents a day. Modern machinery is be ing imported from foreign countries and Chinese operators are said to bo ; quick to learn. The Chinese will soon i make a good deal of their own cotton goods, as, in fact, they do now. The United States has lost a good deal of its Chinese trade as a result of unfair Japanese competition. England is suf fering to a less extent in the same way. The Chinese are sending pig iron to the Pacific coast, and will no doubt, be sending cotton and other products in time if not kept out by ef ficient protection to industries in this country. American workmen cannot compete in point of wages with either Japanese or Chinese. Japanese work men produce large quantities of rugs that are now sold in the United States, the work on which costs in Japan only two or three cents a day. This takes bread out of the mouths of American I workmen, but that is the kind of com | petition the want to sub ject American workmen to by the re duction or removal of tariff duties. The Tariff and High Prices. It continues to be very hard to make the theory tit the facts in the conten tion that the tariff is responsible for high prices and for increased inability of the people to buy commodities. Tha inquiry by the United States senate committee has not gone far, but it has been sufficient to make it very embar rassing for Democrats who have "laid it all to the tariff." Full opportunity has been given to examine witnesses, and yet, says a Washington dispatch, in no single instance has a witness been found who ascribed increased i prices, except in certain luxuries, in i eluding champagne, to the tariff. And j the drift of foreign trade under the new law has been equally confusing to the Democratic argument. The dispatch says:"The imports for the nine months ending with .March show an increase of $235,300,000 over the same period of the preceding year, and yet most of the articles o*i which the ! tariff was lowered show n falling off. j Tea and coffee, both on the free list, I have both fallen off, while cocoa, on which the duty was reduced, has fa.ll i en off $1,000,000 In nine mopths. Lem- I ons. under an increased duty, show an ; increase of $200,000. Silk dress goods, J with a decreased duty, show a de j crease of $1,000,000, and the importa i tion of champagne, on which the duty | was materially increased, has jumped : for the nine months from $3,900,000 to $5,900,000." Inexorable truth is a great demolisher of free trade fustian. Surplus Instead of Deficit. The end of the first fiscal year in which Secretary Franklin MacVeagh ; has been in charge of the United i States treasury shows that there is a ! surplus of $9,402,432 in the year's or | dinary receipts and expenditures. This ! Is a record that was absolutely unex i pected a year ago, when the deficit In the same Items ran to $58,734,955. The average citizen avoids treasury ! statistics as consistently as possible. They have so many strings and cross j strings to them that It often takes a | financial mind to find out what they ! really mean. Thus this $9,402,432 sur plus is not an actual surplus, as the ] expenditures on which it Is based did i not include tin- large sums paid out for the Panama canal. With the*" j payments Included there Is a real deficit of $25,M4,644, but figuring the same way It was $118,795,920 last year. It Is legitimate finance to leave the Panama payments out of th> current expenditure column, be<mse they are j but temporary disbursals for which the treasury is to be reimbursed by a | bond Issue.

SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I writ© to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took caro of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. 1 used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then ap plied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Re solvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. Sho was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of Balves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H.

The wig is only worn by Kngllsh barristers to give them a steri judi cial appearance, and no one can say that it falls in this respect. The cus tom was originated by a French judge in the seventeenth century when, happening to don a marquis' wig one day, he found it gave him such a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to gut one tor himself and wear It at all times In court. This ho did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only judges, but bar risters, also, took up the custom throughout Europe. A Protection Against the Heat.
