WHY THE LANDSLIDE
SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF DEMO
CRATIC VICTORIES
Periodical Desire for a Turnover In
National Affairs—People Did Lit
tle Sifting of Men and
Their Principles.
"Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked."
As It was in the days of Moses, so
it is now. A long period of fat and
prosperous times breeds the ferment
of wide and deep unrest. A nation
grows discontented in Its money-mak
ing and yields to the old tendency to
upset what is on top and bring low
what Is high. The desire to smash
things comes to the surface with re
sistless force and little discrimination.
The last Democratic Congress went
out of existence in 1895. In the 15
years since then a new generation has
grown up. It has had no personal
knowledge of the effects of a Demo
cratic control of the lawmaking ma
chinery of the national government.
And it seems that every generation
must burn its own fingers.
This, in the large view, is the mean
ing of the general and emphatic Dem
ocratic victories. The voters did little
sifting of men and the principles they
stood for, taking the country as a
whole. They voted for the party that
is out, against the party that is in.
It was a landslide for a turnover in
national affairs.
Certain individuals ride the tidal
wave of Democratic success in a way
which cannot fail to fix the attention
of the country. Governor Judson Har
mon is the chief of these special bene
ficiaries of his party's sweeping tri
umphs. He stands today by far the
most conspicuous and commanding fig
ure in the national Democracy. He
is almost certain to be the next Demo
cratic candidate for president.
The great special interests in "big"
business that have been the target at
which millions of voters struck, often
blindly and with misdirected energy,
come out of the battle with their espe
cial favorite given a fine start toward
the White House. Ohio, a state sure
ly desirous of weakening and curbing
these privileged forces In politics,
makes their particular favorite the
most promising presidential candidate
of the victorious party.
I?y comparison with this outstand
ing and vital fact details are of little
moment.. They can be found, in great
and strange variety, In the returns
from many states. "Standpat" candi
dates have fallen with progressives.
Here and there a Republican of each
wing of the party has won a notable
victory. Hut in the large sense the
unrest, the eagerness for change, took
small account of individuals. It made
a great party its target and struck at
everything Republican.
Jeshurun has kicked. If he ceases
to wax fat he will soon kick harder in
the opposite direction. —Cleveland
Leader.
The Persistent Free Trader.
The Des Moines Capital says:
The opponents of Taft are in a
great measure free traders. The
apposition to Taft Is backed by rich
Importers und the agents for foreign
manufacturers who desire a free en
trance for their goods into the Amer
ican market.
The free trader is the most per
sistent standpatter In the world. He
Its always at work. He never sleeps,
if he does, some more radical free
trader springs up in his place.
The free traders have It in for
| Taft. They don't like to see the
| money piling up in the I'nlted States
treasury. Thejr prefer direct taxa-
I tlou as a means of revenue.
The free traders have the public at
ti disadvantage. The public has not
really discovered their purpose. The
public may not discover their purpose

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1910.
j TARIFF RULES WAGE SCALE
Reduction in the One Must Inevitably
Mean a Reduction in the
Other.
As the tariff goes up or down, so
wages move up or down. Frank A.
Munsey, whose Washington paper, the
Times, has been looked upon as a
stanch advocate of tariff revision, gave
an interview at Salzburg, Germany, to
the New York Herald, that affords lit
tle comfort to the insurgents. "If the
tariff is reduced," says the logical Mr.
Munsey, "we cannot maintain the high
wage rate now in force. You can't
have both. A lowering of the tariff
would invite an influx of foreign goods
produced by cheap labor, and wages
in our country would have togo down
with the tariff as a matter of business
expediency or business existence." It
is for the American workingman to
choose which he will have —adequate
protection with high wages or insuffi
cient protection with low wages and a
low standard of living.
The minority report of the senate
committee on wages and prices, whose
superficial and partisan conclusions
have now been made public, takes the
ground that if the protective tariff be
removed and prices allowed to sink,
the question of wages may be trusted
to take care of itself. Comparing free
trade Great Britain with various pro
tectionist countries of Europe, the re
port has the imprudence to say: "The
general testimony is that the rate of
wages for all mechanical trades is sub
stantially higher in Great Britain than
in those protectionist countries, while
the prices of necessities are lower,
leaving the Englishman a wider mar
gin to live upon." The report cites a
table published in Whitaker's Alma
nac to show that, in the 60 years dur
ing which Great Britain has had free
trade, wages have increased 81.7 per
cent, and prices only three per cent.
If these figures be correct, then wages
60 years ago were fearfully low and
out of all proportion with prices. Rep
resentative Hamilton of Michigan, fur
nishes a table, which, as printed in
the Congressional Record, tells a to
tally different tale. The table repre*
sents a comparison of wages for an
eight-hour day in the United States
and Great Britain. The wage of gen
eral laborers In the United States is
$1.36, as against SO cents in Great
Britain. The average daily wage for
bricklayers, stonecutters, stone ma
sons, carpenters, painters, plumbers
and machinists In the United States
is $0.14, as against SI.OO in Great Brit
ain.—Leslie's Weekly.
Proof of Benefits of Protection.
Sir —Suppose Oliver McKnight and
"A Democrat" take a walk among the
hardware dealers and see the shelves
loaded with American goods (instead
of former foreign ones), due to Amer
ican protection, "wouldn't that jar
them?" If this does not suit, sup
pose they look back about 30 years
and note the prices of wire cloth and
j wire nails and then and now, won't
1 this convince them that the consumer
lis benefited? Or. suppose they refer
' to the "robber tariff" of a few years
| ago on tin plate, and note that on ac-
I count of "protection" we have thou
sands of hands at work that bought
their groceries In Europe before the
i "robber tariff" came In vogue. Sup
pose they goto Harrlsburg and see
there the immense plant turning out
bluck sheets tint r than In Europe, and
l.now exported to Europe, due to start
on account of protection.
Is protection at the expense of the
! consumer? Facts disprove it.
Administration's Good Work.
The Taft administration has gone
a long way toward gßlng direction
! ti. tin' |al" n iiti ! -iahii|t\ to the eitun

IN TRF; PHBLI QEYE
BERNHARDT STILL YOUTHFUL
-j The emotional, fervid and ever youthful Bern-
bardt is once again in our midst. With a reper
v toire of 24 plays, she will tour this country for
( , , six months and will then visit Cuba and Mexico.
({ i'a course, "the Divine Sarah" —how many million \
\ times ha s she been called that? —has made the
inevitable statement that this Is her farewell
'tour, but American theater-goers are hardened,
\J) disillusioned. The most trusting patron of the
""" > I drama, whose wide-eyed belief In the truth of
>' many stage legends Is almost pathetic, becomes
cynical and peevish when the term "farewell
U tour" is used in connection with any celebrity,
"* most of all Sarah of the burnished tresses. Sarah
~~ s Vv bus "farewelled" too often.
But when you get right down to it, who
wants her to retire, anyway? When a woman of
67 can play the part of a lithesome lad of 19—-play It wonderfully, with all
the grace and vivacity which the role demands —why should she retire?
Why shouldn't she go right on playing until she's 100 if she wants to? If
Sarah has this idea in mind and certainly it seems that she has—she can
count on Americans backing her up for many a long year to come.
It has been said ,ln fact one reads it In every account of Mme. Bern
hardt's career, that she looks barely half her age. That, of course, Isn't so;
to say that the world-famous French actress appears to be only about 34 off
the stage "in real life" Is an exaggeration. But that her figure is as slender
and straight as any girl's, her eyes bright and her complexion clear and
healthy, cannot be denied.
Interested in every question of the day, well Informed on many of them,
a sculptor, painter and poet of no mean ability, as well as the greatest living
actress, Sarah Bernhardt is a wonderfully Interesting individual. One quality
which she possesses to a marked degree Is seldom mentioned and that 1b her
womanliness —motherliness perhaps expresses this charactristlc better. Those
near and dear to her—her son and his wife and the little grandchild to whom
she is devoted for instance —do not know her as "brilliant," "fascinating,"
"intense," but merely as a tender-hearted woman of many lovable qualities.
GOVERNMENT HEALTH ADVISER
—————— ————— When Theodore Roosevelt discovered some
years ago that the Panama Canal could never be
>. built until the yellow fever plague was con
1/ quered, he appointed a commission of medical
{■■/Z men to discover the cause of the scourge and
Kit-/ i ->J the means of preventing it. The splendid work
|tV\ jf of that commission everybody knows; but not
I If?A! everyone Is aware that ■rfie members of the com
a mission were named by a private citizen. Dr.
X/ William H. Vfelch, of Baltimore. Dr. Welch has
/ occupied for years the unique position of unoffi
bi 11 ( ® n ' adviser to the United States government in r
r a 'l large matters relating to the public health.
'*'<* There is hardly a single body that has to do with
the national health which does not include Dr.
. Welch among Its members.
As president of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research In New Y» :k. Human I.lfe ho has helped to Inspire
many of the great discoveries which have come out of that laboratory from
Dr. Simon Flexner and others. Xot long ago the Carnegie Institution in
Washington needed a chairman for its executive committee, which has gen
eral oversight of all the Institution's manifold scientific activities. Dr.
Welch was elected, and although the Carnegie research workers are busy
with many other problems besides those of medicine, he takes almost as
much interest in the institution's new non magnetic yacht and Its observatory
in the Andes as In his own particular subject.
As a pathologist Dr. Welch has won a world-wide reputation. Occupying
the professorship In this science at Johns Hopkins University since its
foundation, he has made during the last twenty-five years many important
contributions to our knowledge of diphtheria, typhoid fever, malaria, Asiatic
cholera, kidney troubles, and other diseases.
