2 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. 1 H. H. MULLIN, Editor and Proprietor Published Every Thursday EMPORIUM, r PENNSYLVANIA COCKNEY AS A DIALECT. The efforts of the London county council to drive out the Cockney speech from the schools of the English metropolis hardly needed the opposi tion given in a book recently issued in defense of the dialect. This book, which is, curiously enough, the work of a man named Mackenzie Macßride, contends that Cockney is no modern dialect, but that it possesses an ancient and hon orable lineage running back nearly 1,000 years. When one born within sound of Bow Bells says "thet" for "that," "benk" for "bank," and "by lyffe" for "bailiff," he Is using no mod ern corruption of the English lan guage, but the pronunciation of those words which has obtained not only in London, but in Kent and Surrey for hundreds of years. Moreover, in an cient times, tho words were spelled as khe Cockney now sounds them. So, too, are "abaht" and "ahtside" justi fied for "about" and "outside," accord ing to Mr. Macßride. He says that many Londoners have been laughed out of these ancient pronunciations, and he advises them not to change theii speech, because ol' outside prejudices against it, says tho Chicago Tribune. Certainly Cockney would seem to be a dialect or it would not have survived for so many centuries in the midst of speech which calls itself more cul tured. It is a curious fact that in the Bahama islands, which were set tled more than 200 years ago by Lon doners, tho Cockney dialect is as strong as in Cheapside. These are the days for sausage. There is no use for a person to stick up his nose at sausage, for sausage is good when it is made right. It is the response of the food world to the polar breeze that blows through the morning. It is as sweet as a plate of strawberries on a mild June day. But it must be made right. Good sau sage is an art product. It is made up of judgment, taste and skill. It ia a combination of Ingredients that cor relate with one another as the fra grance and the blush of the rose. The butcher doesn't understand this. Gen erally ho throws in some scraps and odds and ends, and especially the odds, dabs of some salt, pepper and sage, grinds it out, and the confiding cus tomer buys it because it is sausage, eays ihe Ohio State Journal. He does't like it very well, but he eats it, and everything goesA The r>tb er day we saw a customer in a meat shop direct the making of his own sausage. He selected the meat, simon pure cuts off tho best parts, had it ground and took it home to season it there. That man knows how to take care of himself. He knows art from a bull's foot. He appreciates the true sentiment of sausage. "Remove not the ancient landmark," Is a Scriptural injunction to whose value the United States is only begin ning to subscribe in earnest, says the Omaha Bee. Spasmodic efforts at preservation have been made here and there, the most notable being in the case of tho Yellowstone, but the in sensate greed of the utilitarian world has wrought heavy damage in many spots of beauty and wonder ere the people awoke to a realization of the wantoness. The Palisades of the Hud son have been saved after years of desultory fighting, during which com mercialism was steadily at work scar ring the noble features of the Hudson. Similar destruction of the famous Del aware Water Gap has been averted with tho utmost difficulty. Only pri vuto enthusiasm and ability to pay saved and perpetuated tho Garden of the Gods, which a wealthy patron has Just presented as a Christmas gift to Colorado Springs. Tho announcement that the two ends of a waterway by which it will be possible for vessels to avoid passing outside of Caps Ilatteras have been Joined, so that completion of the routo is a matter of but a short time, is of special interest. Cape Ilatteras Is ono of the most dangerous points along tho American coast, particularly at certain seasons, and anything which can lessen its terrors for mariners or pass' tigers will lie a most welcome change. incidentally the canal in question will form one of the links in '.he Atlantic deeper-waterways sys tem. which Is destined to play a most important part In tin- development of the country's commerce and as an adjunct u» the national defense.

FAVORS IKE CHANGE NEW YORK TRIBUNE SEES EVIL IN ONE-MAN POWER. Larger Measure of Self-Governmer.t by the House !s Highly Desirabls —Better Work May Be Looked Per. Hon. Champ Clark surrendered gracefully to the inevitable when he announced that he would favor the creation of a committee on commit tees or some other method of dives ting the speaker of the house of rep resentatives of the power to make committee appointments, it is doubt ful whether Mr. Clark could have seriously contemplated the retention under Democratic rule of the one man method of house control which he denounced so vigorously when practised under Republican rule. To succeeed Mr. Cannon and at the same time surrender a large share of polit ical perquisites which Mr. Cannon enjoyed might seem a personal hard ship, but Mr. Clark a good enough philcsophel and politician to realize that in abandoning the overlordship which former speakers have exer cised, he only yields what the voters havo clearly indicated that they de sire no future presiding officer of the house of representatives to possess. The house has already partly ac customed itself to a larger measure of self-government. It has done bet ter work under the new system than it did under the old, and no political leader or political party could afford to attem. t to reverse the hands of progress and go back to the abso lutism which fell at last of its own dead weight. The senate gets along well enough naming its own commit tees and there is no reason why the house should not be able to apportion the committee chairmanships. Great er responsibility and less servility will result from a distribution of au thority, and tho leaders who exercise conjointly tho power of selection and promotion are much more likely to deal fairly with the various elements in the house membership than one man, forced by tradition and the ne cessities of his situation to parcel out the best places on tho committees largely as iiersonal rewards.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911. WAITING FOR LOW PRICES Consumers Probably Are Realizing That Post-Election Noise Is Sometimes Meaningless. I>id the American consumers hear a great noise immediately after tho November election about the tre mendous fall of prices—all tho re sult of the verdict in the ballot | boxes. I!athe American consumers yet | observed in their bills a correspond : ing fall in the amounts which they | have been paying for the commod ities that make up their cost of liv ing? Have they been assured by tho butcher, the grocer and the candle stick maker that on the first of the month liberal deductions will he made from the former iiigU totals of ! a month's buying? Have the American <onsumers re | cently even heard much of that post j election noise about how everything , was coining down faster and faster with every new quotation—every thing coming ;!own but the amount of | cash paid for the cost of living? I Not so. So the new legislators and gov- I ernors and others elected on Novem | ber 8 to reduce the cost of living so ■ that its own mother would not know it—and pledged to do that very thing, | too—have not been robbed by the ( natural laws of their chance to make | good. In a few days they will be going into office, with the exception | of the Democratic house of represent | atives, which cannot help in the res j cue of the American consumers till j after March 4. The chance will still •be there. Perhaps they will, in fact, reduce the cost of living; perhaps i not. TROUBLE AHEAD FOR PARTY | Democrats May Anticipate Little Pleasure in Putting Through Their "Tariff Revision." The Democrats arc planning an or- I ganization for tariff revision at the next session, when they will control the house of representatives. The I method of reduction most favored | seems (o bo the sliding scale plan of I IP3U. reaching the revenue-only mini -1 mum in nine or ten years. It is prom : ised, however, that on "some schedules the reduction will be considerable and I imni< diate." The hope of tho Democrats at the next session Is not really to reduce the tariff but only to work out a program of tariff reduction with which togo befori th people In 1 i»!2 and secure complete power to reduce the tariff through a Democratic house, senate > and president, if they have the luck to j obtain all three. Believing it in the . public Interest 1 that the Democratic party should have | a clear and consistent program of tar ilT reduction with which togo before | the people for their judgment we ven | ture to point out visible weakness In ■ the proponed amendment. The weakness Is in the proposal to I anticipate a horizontal sliding scale | reduction with Immediate reductions in "some schedules."

Grape Fruit, Pomelo or Shaddock. This, fruit when first Introduced, was considered only as a breakfast fruit, but it is now so popular that it is in demand for all meals and is served in such a variety of forms that it seems to have practically no limi tations. In purchasing a grapo fruit pick out thoso that seem heavy for their size as the fruit is much more juicy. To serve for breakfast, the most common way is to cut them across, re move the tough fiber and seeds, cut ting around the fruit next to the pulp, sprinkle with sugar and let stand over night to season. A most delicious grape fruit salad is made by removing the pulp care fully in small sections, mix with vhitfc grapes from which the skins have been removed, a few blanched almonda and a bit of celery, all served with French dressing on lettuce leaves. Grape Fruit Sherbet. —Take the juice of six grape fruit, add four cups of sugar and a pint of water. Dissolve a tablespoonful of gelatin and add to the fruit juice and sugar after it has boiled five minutes. Cool and partly freeze; add two whites of egg well whipped and finish freezing. Grape Fruit Marmalade.—Cut off the rind and boil it in salted water until translucent; drain and soak in fresh water two hours. Scrape out with a f.poon the white inner pulp and cut the rind in thin strips. Add the rind j to the juice with an equal quantity of ; sugar and cook until it jellies, about an hour. Candied Grape Fruit.—Place the rind in brine over night and put In fresh water in the morning. Do not leave until all the bitterness is drawn out. Squeeze and strain the juice and I let stand over night with the sugar, ! using pound for pound for the rind. In the morning bring the rind to a boil and simmer until tender and at the same time cook the juice and j sugar to a sirup. When tho peel is very tender, put it into tho sirup and boil until it cracks in cold water. Lift the peels out j carefully with a fork and lay on waxed ! paper to dry. If the bitter principle of the rind Is liked, it may be steeped and added to the juice in making ico and sher bets.

Women With the Emergency Mind. We hear so much today about be ing ready for the emergency whatever it is. The woman who runs her work and does not let it run her Is usually ready for the unexpected when it comes, as come it will, when we are least prepared for it. It is usually tho day when we hrtve planned to have a "picked-tip meal" that two or three of our u ost particular friends drop in. FYionds who have entertained us In good style and for whom we would like to have a meal at least rntablo. Tho woman with an emergency mind lias an emergency closet where she keeps choice foods for just such an occasion as this. Canned fish, olives, salted crackers and dainty cakes, preserves of different kinds in sueh variety that a quick visit to this treasure room will result in supplies that will inuko an appetizing and fill ing meal. This supply closet should be at on"« renewed, so that the next emergency will not find It depleted. The first cost may amount to quite a sum to stock such a bank account, but it will pay In the satisfaction that whatever haiipens, a cri dltnbln meal may be served In a few minutes A few cans of tomatoes should be on the list for nearly everybody likes n dish of to mato soup.
