German military authorities have a bad case of airshipitis. "Next season women will wear painted hats." How many coats? The antiseptic bank note ia the latest device of a germ-ridden age. When an airship turns turtle the occupants cannot swim achoro. Fortunately Alaska has lots of coal, for it needs a grent deal of steam heat. If they'd make the frames of aero planes of rubber, wouldn't there be fewer accidents? New York spends $35,000,000 a year on charity. It costs money even to be poor in Gotham. Youths who get hurt at football cannot explain that they did not know the game was loaded. Notwithstanding the fact that It wasn't much of a summer we are sorry to bid it good-by. Aviators will fly away somewhere and die of ennui when all possible records have been broken. Insanity is on the increase, say the doctors. Shall we appoint a commis sion to examine the doctors? Families that simply must have do mestic service are pained to hear about the shortage in chorus girls Probably we shall have noise-proof flats when we get noise-proof me chanical pianos und noise-proof ba bies. Now that good people have organ ized a world-wide pure-milk fight It Is becoming a distinction to bo a cow. A Boston woman wanted to elope; but when her husband gave her money togo, she changed her mind —it took all the romance away. ! T p to the present time the use of the various "universal" languages has been confined to a comparatively small section of the universe. After flying across the English channel a few times no experienced aviator should be afraid to tackle the job of flying across Lake Michigan. It would be Interesting to know how many barrels of excess humidity we have had this year, and the weather man ought to supply the information. While Prof. Garner's educated ape may lack in refinement. It would not go joy-riding through a residence dis trict late at night with an open muf fler. As long as Germany can sell her old battleships to Turkey she will maintain her opinion that the time is not ripe for the partition of the Otto man empire. It is said there Is a new comet In the vast field of the sky, and if bo it Is probable many politicians will be wondering as to which one of them it presages disaster.

PARTY NOT SINCERE TRUTH ABOUT DEMOCRATIC AT TITUDE ON THE TARIFF. At Heart, Protection Is Demanded Wherever Its "Special Interests" Are Concerned—Some Facts the Voters Should Know. Representative Slemp 01 Virginia, who Is making an active campaign for re-election, is telling the people of his district some things about the Democratic party's real attitude to ward the tariff which should have wider circulation, through the press, for illumination of minds that may have become befogged by the contin uous misrepresentation that has been carried on by Democratic opponents of the protective system. For general publication, for appeal to the unthinking and the ignorant, the Democratic party is for tariff re duction or free trade, and makes the false plea that by such means it would bring about a lower cost of liv ing. At heart it is for protection wherever its "special interests" de mand it, and out of the sight of the public its representatives work to se cure protection for such interests. In a speech in which he fully and instructively discussed the tariff, Mr. Slemp told his hearers that he had learned what the Democratic policy of "tariff for revenue only" really means. It may be defined, he said, as— Protection for what you have to sell, and Free trade for what you have to buy. Mr. Slemp told of his surprise when he saw some of his Democratic col leagues, committed by their party declarations to tariff reduction, asking for tariff increases for particular in terests. "I thought," he said, "judg ing from their platform declarations for the past 50 years, that they looked upon protection as 'robbery,' and would not dare participate in any benefits to be derived from it. On the contrary I found — "Forty Democratic members of Con gress from the South violating their party pledge and asking for protec tion on lumber. "Senator Tillman asking for a tariff of ten cents a pound on tea. "Mr. Maynard and Mr. Lassiter, from Virginia, asking for 400 per cent increase on peanuts. "All the Florida representatives in Congress asking for an increased duty on pineapples, citrons and long staple cotton. "The Democratic delegation from Texas saying: 'You may take the tar iff off everything but hides.' "Representative Saunders of Vir ginia, asking for an increased duty on certain grades of tobacco. "Both Senators from Virginia ask ing for an increased duty on extract of quebaclio wood. "Every Ixtuisiana Congressman clamoring for a tariff on sugar and opposing reduction." It is known to all who keep them tional importance that the Democratic party is not sincere in the attitude which it is maintaining, for partisan effect, toward the Republican policy of protection; but there are many who do not keep themselves informed, and such exposition as that made by Rep resentative Slemp should be frequent, for their Instruction. The Republican party holds to the contention that all American indus selves informed about matters of na trles, and Indirectly the labor which they eniploy, should have the benefit of such protection of tariff as is prop er and reasonable. The Democratic party shouts in pub lic for tariff reduction, and then its representatives in the Congress, work ing in committee rooms and otherwise out of sight of the public, seek to se cure protection as a special benefit for sectional Interests. "New Tariff Breaks Record," is the headline In many papers this week. Customs receipts during the last year amounted to $327,900,000, which was more than J 17,000,000 in excess of the previous year under the Dlngley act. As Usual. As usual the Democrats will talk tariff— as usual, they will tell the peo ple In their speeches und literature that protection is robbing the people, but they will not be able to convince the farmer or the laboring man that he should change the prosperity of to day for the adversity of 1893-96. Thv ptople realize Just what a Democratic house of representatives would mean Thej realize that even though no de structive legislation could get through the next congress, nevertheless there would be anxiety In all financial and business circles, and such anxiety would bring curtailment of production and affect both employment and wag. Marlon (Va.l News. Th< I K'liiocratlc unity as represent etf In congress voted solidly against the tariff commission. Time to Pause and Reflect. Kvery Uepubllran should consider Hist the Democratic party cannot wl« this yenr through any merits of Its own perform* dor proteased IVmo cratic victory If It comes, will come not because <>f Democratic strength but )e cause of Republican division and consequent wankne-i Is It worth while to l« aru over attain the costly les-uiis of the past for the sake of a grudge or * disagreement that even though honest uu i sincere may well be laid aside and taken up after elec lluii ? CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1910. ISSUE IS CLEARLY DEFINED Protection to American Workers or the Competition of the World's Cheap Labor. Congressman Champ Clark, the Democratic leader In the House of Representatives, said in 1897 (and he has never repudiated the utterance): "1 am a free trader, and proudly take my stand with Sir Robert Feel, Richard Cobden, John Bright and Henry George. ♦ * • If j had my way today, sir, I would tear them (custom houses) all down, frem turret to foundation stone." Congressman Underwood, of Ala bama, who hopes for Democratic vic tory that will make him chairman of the great committee on ways and means and give him the opportunity to shape a new tariff policy for the country, says: "I believe in a tariff for revenue." Congressman Henry of Texas, an other prominent Democrat, said In a speech In the House at the last ses sion; "The protective tariff in every form should be odious to all true Democrats. * * * Democracy proclaims to the country, 'Batter down the tariff walls and Invite the competition of the world.' » * * The fight will goon until we return to the revenue system advocated by Democracy." These expressions of Democratic opinion could be mutliplied indefinite ly. Here and there cau be found Democratic advocacy of protection to some local industry but It is always coupled with the demand for free trade for the other feliovvs. On tho other hand Republicans are a unit in supporting the principle of protection. Only by the success of the Republican party can that principle be maintained. Protection to American labor is Re publican policy now as it always has been. Workingmen will hardly sub scribe to the Democratic tenet of tearing down the custom houses from turret to foundation stone, inviting the competition of the world's cheap labor and returning to the revenue system advocated by Democracy, and farmers will not take kindly to the Democratic promise, thus to injure the market for everything which the farm er has to sell. The President and Congress. Speaking at the New York State Fair on September 17th, former Presi dent Roosevelt said: "The president of the United States, Mr. Taft, has served his country hon orably and uprightly In many posi tions —as judge, as governor of the Philippines, as secretary of war, and now as president—for to him and the congress acting with lilm we owe the creation of a tariff commission, the adoption of maximum and minimum tariff law treaties with foreign pow ers, the proper treatment of the Philippines under the tariff, the in crease in the efficiency of the Inter state commerce law, the beginning of a national legislative program provid ing for the exercise of the taxing power in connection with corpora tions doing an Interstate business, a postal savings bank bill, the consti tution of a commission to report a remedy for overcapitalization in con nection with the issue of stocks and bonds." It's a good record worthy of the commendation. No congressional record surpasses it for accomplish ment of useful and progressive re sults. There Is one way and only one way to make certain the continuance of legislation for the public good and that is to return a Republican major ity to the next house of representa tives. Party Will Unite for Principle. Republicans have been doing some I lively scrapping among themselves and no mistake, but now that nominations ai-e made and the question is the su premacy of Republican principles as against Democratic victory which i would he the certain result of Repub ! llcan division, there will be just as 1 lively getting together, and the party will present a solid front to the enemy on election day. The Democratic hope of success Is based only on Republican dissension. The free trnde party de clares no policy except Its opposition i to the Republican policy of protection, promises nothing except what amounts to a threat against the prosperity of the whole nation, and Is boastful and hopeful only when It discerns signs of Republican disaffection Republicans Are Willing. Of course, the Democrats have to blame It all on the tariff, and If they are Intending to make ihls the l*sue In 1 the next catupalgi. they will find the ' Republicans perfectly ready and will ing to meet tbein on that line For some years they have deemed It pru dent to make their appeal to the p««o --ple on other grounds. If they now I proi to combat .he protective prln clpie and to resume advocating a tar iff for revenue only, all right I'tilla , delphl.v Inquirer. 1 The Democratic campaign text hook remain* an tnvßation to the Amerl can people to return to ihe Ikmiocratio system of a tariff for revenue only -a Rvstem which, whenever tried, has brought »t agnation of business, lower wages or none at all for our working men and consequent distress to all our people It Is well to remember what ih lh»ue Is In this campaign There aim two sides one the Republican and ! ih«t other the Democratic Hi publb.in or Democratic which? j That's the question wmmm ONE OF THE "OLD GUARD" One of the surprises of the recent primary election in Michigan was the defeat of Julius Cae sar Burrows for renomination to the United, A States senate. Senator Burrows has been a long a time in politics and was one of the "old guard," J being associated with Aldricli, Hale and the Sena tor Allison in running the upper branch of con vj grees. He entered congress in 1873 and has been a lnenl^er °' the senate since 1895. t HPW ■ \ il Senator Burrows was born in Brie county, | y'|W(l f* 3 -- ' n 1837. He went west at an early age and t'mkr JfL road law while living in the western reserve of 7 iW.WVs.Mt Ohio. In his early twenties he removed to Kaia- J) C-'y ma zoo and has since been a resident of Michigan. He has practised little at the bar, having been in f f twvflwc politics ever since he returned home from two years of service in the civil war, with the First Michigan regiment. It is recalled by the old inhabitants of Kalamazoo that Mr. Burrows made a successful prosecuting attorney in the two years he held the office immediately after the war. As his reputation as a debater and speechmaker grew, Mr. Burrows gained political power, and at the close of his term as prosecuting attorney was appointed supervisor of internal revenue' for Michigan and Wisconsin, but declined the office. In 1873 the opportunity came that he wanted in the form of his first nomination to congress. In the house of representatives Mr. Burrows rose slowly. He was not a leader and he was not given membership in the most important committees until late in his career, but he early attained a reputation for being an excel lent parliamentarian and good presiding officer. As a senator Mr. Burrows has been conspicuous chiefly as an opponent to Reed Smoot, the Utah senator accused of Mormonism, and as an opponent to tariff changes that were said to ba against the interest of the Michigan beet sugar growers. Senator Burrows was temporary chairman of the Re publican National convention at Chicago and delivered the keynote speech of the campaign which followed and which placed President Taft in the White House. The defeat of Burrows by the insurgents is thus an event of na tional importance. Senator Burrows is chairman of the senate committee appointed to inves tigate the charges against Senator Lorimer. 'BUTCHER' WRITES A BOOK _ With an unpardonable lack of tact or a sinis ter sense of humor Gen. Valeriano Weyler has al lowed the publisher to print the title of his sen » sational book "Mi Mando in Cuba" ("My Com n mand in Cuba") in letters of gory scarlet on a j H paper 'cover of livid gray. Whatever the motive may have been that prompted such a choice, that bloody "eye catcher" M\ ] of a line fitly symbolizes the man and his work. 112 J&jku il Weyler las been on trial before public opinion f° r butchering his enemies instead of fighting them; and he flaunts in our faces the ugly stains /$». that show where he wiped off his knife. wfj/v,,.. Captain general of the most fertile province Spain tand a province which more than once manifested her intention to throw off the Bour bon yoke), he makes such a case against the country that buys his services as no citizen of the United States could have ever made to justify America's attitude in the Cuban mix-up. Weyler was the best hated man in Cuba when the government of this nation finally recalled him. This book will cause him to be cursed the length and breadth of the peninsula. I wrote it, he says,"to give all the facts about my conduct as general in-chief, a conduct admired not only by army officers, high and low, who wrote me innumerable letters, but by privates, who, ou their return to the penin sula, spoke of me with a enthusiastic fervor for which I can never thank them enough. Various reasons prevented me from doing years ago (when I could not have freed my mind from a certain bias) a work which I can now do in perfect peace of mind, thanks to the time that has passed, and which has soothed the Irritation due lo the injustice I suffered at the hands of some men. "Furthermore, I did not wish to sadden Senor Sagasta by retelling the story of our colonial disasters; neither did I feel any pleasure in censuring the illustrious General Martinez Campos, my predecessor in Cuba, however uncharitably he acted toward me after his return to the capital.'' A perusal of the book falls to prove that Weyler kept his promise to treat the subject with perfect moderation. A POPULAR ENGLISH PRIEST~~ MOne of the best known priests in attendance at the Eucharistle congress at Montreal was Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan of England, whose denunciation of the smart set has deeply stirred the world's metropolis. Everybody In London loves and honors Father Vaughan, yet he Is the pulpit scourge of the town. He preaches truths that terrify, yet an hour before he speaks the seats In the church are jammed and crowds line the walls. He is as well known on the continent as In Great Britain, and although he has become ultra famous because of his lecturing and speaking, still be finds time to devote many hours a day to mlsist rat ions among the poor. At the Montreal conference Father Vaughan created a sensation bj his denunciation of race sulcidde. "We are living In a day,"he said, "of headlines, snapshots, taxieubs anil music halls; in a day when tne scramble for the prizes of life has become a mud passion. It Is a day of fever, fr«*t and fume. Competition for earthen toys is mj keen and the margin of profit In commerce has become so fine that the one cr> beating through the air Is 'hurry up.' We are living In a day whfii the -high ideals of old are fast yielding to the pressure of creature comforts, when principle Is being exchanged for expediency; In a day when the Christian sense of sin Is being regarded as a bygone superstition; in a day when It matters not what you believe, but only what you do. and when you muy do what you like, provided you are not found out; In a day when the relations between thu sexes take one back to pagan times; in a day when there is no empty place but In a cradle, uot room In which to move but In the churches." Father Vaughan is a brother of the late Cardinal Vaughan of England, and Is sixty-three years old.
