Same Old Story;
Tariff For Revenue.
Democratic Leaders Line up on That
Program.
The revision of the tariff, upon the
plan of a tariff for revenue only, is to
be the aim of the democrats.
This announcement was made to-day
by several democratic leaders of in
fluence in the party's affairs, and fol
lowing the receipt of the following tel
egam from Representative Underwood
of Alabama, one of the prominent
democratic leaders:
"I favor a tariff for revenue only. I
believe the difference in labor and cost
of production of manufactured articles
at home and abroad would be covered
by a tariff that raised a sufficient reve
nue to support the government eco
nomically administered.
"I am opposed to protecting profits
and because I believe protecting profits
means protecting a monoply."
Faithful Employee.
The PRESS sanctum was on Saturday
last, honored by a social visK. from our
old and esteemed friend the venerable
James O'Day, of East Emporium. Al
though well advanced in years, now
being almost 68 years old, he has for
37 years been a faithful member of the
repair crew of the Pennsy R R., at the
Junction, in the department managed
by Mr. Elmer Klock, than whom there
is no more competent employee of the
Pennsy, kind and popular with his
men, yet firm in the direction of his
department. Mr. O'Day is profuse in
his praise and admiration of his fore
man. Long may they both live, for
they are an honor to our town.
"Human Hearts."
"Human Hearts" the melodramatic
success announced at the Emporium
Opera House appeals to every class of
playgoers. It deals with a story that
teems the heart from beginning to
end. 'Tom Logan" an honest young
blacksmith in the Arkansas Hills,
falls in love with and marries a re
formed confidence woman. The dull
country life soon palls on her. She ac
cidentally meets her former lover and
pal. Without cause they conspire to
gether to ruin Tom and kill him if ne
cessay The woman calls him while
her accomplice conceals himself. The
father of Tom responds and is mistak
en for the "Young Blacksmith." He
is fatally stabbed by the ambushed
man. Tom, coming out to see where
his father is, is accused by < lie adven
turess and her "pal" of the murder.
He is finally sentenced on tiiat charge.
But his friends ultimately establish his
innocence and he is released. Retribu
tion overtakes his villainous and mur
derous accusers. No play of its kind
possesses a stronger plot or more sen
sational incidents. The serious ele
ment is mingled with comedv, forming
a combination that never fails to touch
a responsive chord in the hearts of
playgoers
Chinese and Coolie Competition.
Chiua is sending pig iron to the Uni
ted States and is getting ready to pro
duce many other thint;» with the star
! vation wages paid in that country. A
beet sugar manufacturing company is
completing a factory at Harbin to pro
duce 28,900 pounds of sugar each day.
Other factories already in operation.
Can American farmers raise beets and
can Americans produce sugar in com
petition with the Chinese and Japanese
I without protection.
An official report from Trinidad says
that coolies are employed on the es
tates on that island, and that the high
est pay for laborers Is 30 cents per day
for men and 21 cents for women. The
■ United States imports nearly J5.000,*
000 annually from Trinidad of articles
produced by labor paid at the rates
mentioned.
An official report from tho United
State* commercial agent In Harbadoes
j »u)s that "1 tborers earn 30 to 40 ceuts

. half as much." They go litrefooteU

Superintendent N. C. Schaeifer, of
the State School Department, iu an
address to the teacher* of Franklin
county on Tuesday, referred to the
great number of foreigners coming
luto the State and said that tile large

MILLER.
MRS. BESSIE MILLER, daughter ot
Mrs. Justin Miller, died at the family
residence on Huston Hill, Thursday,
November 3rd, 1910, aged about
twenty-six years. Miss Bessie was left
an invalid at the age of eight, from the
affects of scarlet fever, but was a very
patient sufferer; was only bed
fast four days. The family have the
sympathy of all, for it is only a littlo
over a year since the youngest daugh
ter of the family, Miss Lois, died. The
funeral was held at the family resi
dence, Saturday, Nov. sth, at 3 p. m..
Rev. Ebersole, officiating, after wbich
the remains were conveyed to Hicks
Run and laid to rest in Hicks Run
cemetery. She is survived by the fol
lowing brothers and sister 3: O D
Miller, of Olean, Mrs. O. E. Barr, of
Huston Hill; Mrs. W. E. Barr, Hicks
Run, and Benj. H., at home.
Mrs. Miller and family desire to
thank all for their kindness and sym
pathy.
LEVERING.
Grant Levering, aged 40, died at El
mira, N Y., on Saturday last after a
short illness. Deceased was well and
favorably known in both Emporium
and Coudersport, having visited here
repeatedly. His wife, formerly Maud
Pearsoll, survives him. Frank H.
Peareoll and Josiah A. Fisher left Em
porium on Sunday for Elmira, to at
tend the funeral, which was held on
Monday. The PRESS and many Em
porium citizens deeply sympathize
with the bereaved wife.
Educational Train.
Continuing its efforts to create ad
ded interest in scientific farming in the
agricultural districts through which it
operates, the Pennsylvania Railroad is
carryingon anactivecarnpaignthis win
ter with its special educational trains,
the first of which will be operated on
Saturday, November 2flth, on what is
known as the Bedford Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania was the first rail
road in the East to operate farmers
educational trains. In the past three
years almost every division of the rail
road has been visited, and its boat
liues on the Cliesapeahe Bay have had
special educational steamboats on
which lectures were delivered.
Food For Digestion.
Democratic Tariff laws have been
tried twice Both times everything
was cheap! Neither time did labor
have the price to buy.—Eaton (O.)
Register.
A Kansas farmer bought a lumber
wagon for S6O, in 1894, paying for it
with 000 bushels of corn. He went to
the same dealer for another wagon the
other day, and objected to the price,
S7O. The dealer said: "Bring in 600
bushels of corn, as you did in 1894, and
I'll give you the wagon and a surrey,
a twine-binder, a kitchen range and an
outfit of kitchen furniture.—Baraboo
(Wis.) Republican.
The most nonsensical claptrap yet
put forth is the pretense that high
Tariff is responsible for the high cost
of what goes into the workiugman's
dinner bucket. The Tariff has no more
to do with the price of bread, butter.
meat, fruits,etc., than it has with
the altitudinous location of the moon.
If it were not for a protective Tariff
half of the dinner buckets would b«i
rusty from dis'tsp.-.Kansas Olty J>»»:r

Cameron County Should be Well
Represented.
There is an institution of the State
that has been established exclusively
for the public, and for the benefit of
citizen in the Commonwealth.
It is the State Museum at Harrisburg,
where a collection is being made of
every kind of mineral, animal, bird,
insect flower, specimen of tree, and
historical relic from each county of
the State.
Cameron County should be well re
presented in this institution, which is
laying a foundation invaluable for fu
ture years. The purpose of the var
ious divisions of the museum is as fol
lows:
DIVISION OF ZOOLOGY.
Where can be seen the animals in
their respective haunts and natural
surroundings; many valuable features
for the agriculturist, where informa
tion may be obtained in reference to
the birds, insects and animals of the
locality that are helpful or destructive
to the crops.
DIVISION OF GEOLOGY.
Since Pennsylvania is rich in miner
als, there should be placed before the
people of the Commonwealth one of
the best State mineral exhibits found
in the L'nion. This should include
mineralogy, paleontology and indus
trial geology. Each county in the
State should be well represented by
its respective minerals, the coals, irons,
oils, clays, glass sacds, building stones,
etc., with maps and charts showing
where located. The educational and
industrial should be closely allied to
be of use to the Commonwealth
There should be maps, charts and fos
sils of the geological era, portraying
the earliest formations known, includ
ing the glacial period, upheavals,
mountain and valley making, rivers
and lakes of the State, with relief maps
and models showing strata formations,
etc. .
A DIVISION OF BOTANY,
with specimens helpful in learning the
different species of trees, their uses
and their woods; the care of forest pre
serves, as well as the flowers and
plants used for beautifying or for their
chemical and medical qualities. Many
fossil plants of the coal fields of Penn
sylvania are on exhibition at the Mu
seum. With the realization of the
Capital Park extension, it would be
pleasing to see every tree, shrub and
flower native in the State planted and
labeled, as far as practicable, within
its grounds.
' DIVISION OF ARCHAEOLOGY.
Pennsylvania should be well known
by a collection from the contents of
mounds that have been unearthed,
which tells of an early people inhabit
ing the State, antedating the Ameri
can Indian. These implements of his
tory, arts and crafts should be gather
ed at the Musem, that our present and
future generations could have a more
definite knowledge of these early peo
ples. Follow : ng this, the American
Indian collec on should be arranged
and preservei There are several good
collections in heState,now obtainable,
and in a few y iars these may be scat
tered find lost. They should be ar
ranged to show their manner of
arts and crafts in war and peace; mon
uments, implements, inscriptions, rel
ics, dwellings, clothing and food ob
tained from their surroundings, each
properly shown in its relation to the
other. Maps of their paths over the
State; origin and meaning of the many
Indian names of cities and towns,
rivers, etc., throughout the State
Then follow with the customs and arts
of the early European settlers, and the
implements of their arts, crafts, etc.
This influence was the nucleus around
which the moulding of our early his
tory of the State was formed. The
early publications, German pie plates,
and the hand printing should also be
shown.
There are historic relics of war and
p6ace in which the State Is very rich.
Many good collections are scattered
throughout the State, and should find
a home in the museum. There are
also many unmarked historical spots
in each county of the Stato which
should not be neglected. Either the
State or historical society of each
county, should see that these are au
thentically and intelligently labeled,
even if only ultha small bronze tab
let on a boulder, so that they may nut
be lost to posterity.
t'HKFUL AND PINK ARTS
Pennsylvania from its earliest times
hae produced articles from the looms,!
print shops and the forge. The Mint I
euiii wishes to make a tine collection I
of the articles, including those of ex-i
qtiislte make of the present day Tliene '
will include printing, book-binding and !
photography; textiles in cotton, wool, |
silk and linen, pottery, glass, terra i
cotta, porcelain, mnsalac, ceramics and
i; taxing. Articles of metals, bronze,
leather and w>tod. All of these articles *
to tie of Pennsylvania make only.
There are many persons in Cameron 1
county having relies pertaining to !
Pennsylvania, which they wish to pre
serve for posterity; there is no morel
titling place to preserve and display
these to the public than at the State 1
Museum at Harrisburg, where they !
will he well cared for and displayed. 1
The Museum will be glad to receive j
any such material, either permanently
or as a loan, In the following subjects, I
flora, fauna, minerals, geology, arch j
neology, arts and history. These 1
should be well labeled, with the name
of the specimen, location or any brief
historical Incident connected witli It; '
the name and address of tli«« doner
should also accompany it. Address I

Dangerous and Mischievous Prac
tice.
EDITOR PRESS:—
Is there no way that our Borough
authorities can punish, or 'fine, the
boys who carry sling-shots, Flo ben
rifles, etc , and deliberately break win
dow glass in private reeidences, barns
and chicken coops? I have several
times been compelled to replace glass
in my barn and hen house, entailing an
expense of at least eight dolHkrs. I
think theteachersof our schools should
search each boy and take from all
sling-shots, at the same time reporting
their names to Sheriff Norris and chief
Mundy. If Ido not mistake the law
imposes a heavy fine as well as the cost
of damage.
Nov. 18th, 1910. H. W. GRAHAM.
We have received many complaints,
lately, of boys throwing stones at pri
vate residences in their efforts to kill
innocent English sparrows, thereby
cracking if not breaking (windows
glass. Complaints have also been
made to the PRESS, very recently, of
boys actually shooting into the homes
of our citizens. Our officers] should
promptly put a stop to this dangerous
practice, notify the parents of the pen
alty. If this continues arrest the of
fenders and lock them up in jail. Par
ents who allow or purchase the dan
gerous "weapons" are moro to b.anie
than the ki<is. One good dose of the
law will finish it. If that does not try
the jail.
Gone to California.
Wade Spence, who has conducted a
farm on Moore Hill ever since bis
father's tragic death, has pulled up
stakes and located in California. His
nephew, Willie Mumford, has resign
ed his position with the Emporium
Powder Co, and located on the farm,
having purchased his uncle's interest
in the same Will is an industrious
young man and if hard work counts
.for any thing he is sure to make good.
Transferred to Rochester.
We are pleased to hear that Harold
M. Waddington, who for the past three
months has been employed in the En
gineering Department of New York
Telephone Co , at Buffalo, N. Y., has
been transferred to the Rochester
Division, at Rochester, N. Y., as Assist
ant Chief Draftsman. We wish him
success.
"Human Hearts."
Good plays, like wine, improves with
age. This is certainly true of that mar
vellously successful melodrama "Hu
man Hearts" which Manager Ijeno of
fers for the coming season. The com
pany to be seen in the play this sea
son comprises all of last year's favor
ites, and wherever a part could be im
proved upon, the change has been
made, and it is promised that never
before has this beautiful play been so
well represented. "Human Hearts"
give a pure, wholesome lesson that
touches 'he heart-strings in the path
etic scenes and excites the risibilities
in the humorous ones. The pathos and
comedy are so well blended that the
audience is iu tears one moment and
convulsed with laughter the next. The
scenic equipment will be perfect in
every detail, so it is said, and the man
agement lias done everything to insure
a first class performance.
