A New Jersey girl advertises that

The man charged with cruelty by

IS GETTING RESULTS
President's Attitude Toward Gov
ernment Expenditures.
Already the Good Effect of His Watch
fulness Is Apparent—Economy
Has Been Insisted on and Re
sponsibility Fixed.
President Taft, probably more than
any of his predecessors, realizes what
an immense and complicated business
the government of the I'nited States
is. And he has adopted the same at
titude toward it he would take if it
belonged to a great corporation and
he were the president of the com
pany.
Mr. Taft is finding out where the
immense sums of money required for
government purposes go and whether
a proper equivalent is obtained by the
country. The work of departments
and bureaus which have run on for
years without challenge, is being ex
amined.
Great sums are being spent for ag
ricultural stations. Are results ob
tained which warrant the expendi
ture? Is the country receiving dollar
for dollar in value in the work of such
bureaus as those of the fisheries, the
various surveys, foresty, education
and labor? Is every dollar given for
the army and the navy used to good
advantage? Is the test of efficiency
enforced in all the administrative de
portments?
The president is trying to find out
these things, and as fast as he gets
the information he acts on it. First
came his warning that he would veto
any rivers and harbors bill that car
ried appropriations merely for the po
litical benefit of congressmen. He has
ended the loose plan of separate esti
mates from each department for the
budget.
For the first time in the history of
the government the total of the esti
mates for regular expenditures is
each year less than the appropriations
for the previous year. The post of
fice department has been overhauled
and more economy and efficiency ob
tained there. The secretary of the
navy is seeking the abolishment of
several useless navy yards. The clerks
in the government offices are to be
compelled to perform a fair day's
work for the salaries they receive.
Method is being introduced where
heretofore there has been very little
of it. Responsibility is being fixed
ami Insisted upon.
There is not much of the trumpet
call to the people In all this, but it
is good husiuess. Government is
merely business for the people, and
President Taft insists that It shall be
transacted in u businesslike manner.
It is hlKhly Important service lie is
rendering th*- country and deserving
of the gratitude of the people, even
thouxh he is going about It without
ffourish of trump«t«.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1911
PROTECTION FOR HIS STATE
Attitude of Senptor-Elect Thornton of
Louisiana Is a Most Significant
"Straw."
Here Is another "straw" showing
what Is ahead when the Democrats
undertake to handle the tariff question
in congress. The Louisiana legisla
ture elected Judge J. R. Thornton to
succeed the late TTnited States Sena
tor McEnery. Of course Judge Thorn
ton is a Democrat, as was his pre
decessor. In his speech before the
legislature accepting the honor the
new senator-elect took occasion to ex
plain his attitude on some public
questions. Among other things he said
he was irrevocably committed to a
protective duty upon rice and sugar,
two important Louisiana products. As
regards Louisiana interests, no Re- I
publican could be a stiffer protec
tionist than Judge Thornton. And,
holding these vie*s as to the neces
sity of protection In his own locality,
with what consistency can he oppose
protection for the Interests of other
sections? Judge Thornton is a type
of Democrat which must be reckoned
with in tariff legislation, and there
are more like him, the number grow
ing with especial rapidity in the
south, where it is seen that material
development depends very largely on
adequate tariff-duties. And this fact
makes the nut of satisfactory and har
monious Democratic action on the tar
iff question all the harder to crack.
President and Congress.
President Taft will be on hand prac
tically the entire winter, not sitting on
the lid exactly, but waiting at the !
window to see what the fellows down j
the other end of the avenue are up to.
With the passing of the holidays the
legislators will get down to work, and
they will not mind the president re
maining in the capital city to do a bit
of observing. He believes that the
country's representatives will feel com
plaint to the not overly strenuous
amount of legislation he asks of them,
and that the session will prove to be I
entertaining, edifying and efficient.
Therefore, the president and con
gress are alike In a peaceful mood and
disposed to be merry, despite the
changes that elections bring about and
the cantankerouaness of claimants
upon patronage. The country enters
into the general placidity of the law
makers and the even-tempered chief
executive, and will watch them In
brotherly accord doing the will of the
people with a sense of unctuous satis
faction.

Interview Causes Stir in Washington
WASHINGTON. —Capital society has
had nothing that haß made it sit
up and take notice In a good while.
But It sure got a slap that wakened it
with a Jump the other day when
there appeared in a New York news
paper an alleged interview with Bar
oness Hengelmuller von Hengervar,
the "deanness" of the diplomatic
corps, or, to put it properly, the
doyenne, her husband, Baron Hengel
muller von Hengervar, being the dean.
The baroness, who has been in New
York city, permitted herself to be in
terviewed by a very sprightly young
lady reporter in New York, who on
two or three previous occasions has
shown herself to be rather long on
imagination and short on facts. She
directly quotes the baroness as fol
lows:
"Washington is dull and stupid. So
ciety there is provincial. To get to
New York Is heaven to me, for there
is so much to do besides paying and
receiving calls and callers and drink
ing tea and going through the drier
round of formal and uninteresting so
cial events. We have lived in Wash
ington 16 years. I have done each
year the same things with practically
the same people. Here in New York
formal calling and tea taking are prac
tically eliminated, because there are
so many other more interesting things
to do. Even the shops make a differ
ence. Here it is a positive pleasure

THE carelessness or Ignorance of big
firms in observing the federal laws
governing abuse of coins costs them
thousands of dollars yearly. Just re
teDtly a Chicago company came to
grief which would have saved itself
and the government much trouble and
expense If it had read the following
law:
"Whoever fraudulently, by any
act, way or means shall deface,
mutilate, Impair, diminish, falsify or
lighten . . . the gold or silver coins
which have been or which may here
after be coined in the mint of the
United States . . . shall be fined
not more than $2,000 and imprison

Uncle Sam's Gunners Are Unequaled
A MONO the navies of the world the
American sailors have long held
the record of the finest marksmen In
existence. Though the United States
does not spend so much for new battle
ships as other countries, It lays more
emphasis on marksmanship than does
any other nation and for that reason,
combined with the American sailor's
infinite patience, our men hwo gained
their world-wide reputation of cham
pions. More timo and ammunition are
exhausted in the American navy in
target practice than Is realized gen
erally. America spends ten times the
sum for this purpose as does Eng

and concerts are so wonderful. In
fact. New York is one of the most
fascinating cities in the world. It ia
all life and color and Impulse.
"Logically, of course, Washington
should be the social center of the
country. It never will be, however,
for no city can take the honors away
from New York. The atmosphere is
different, and a social climate is as
hard to change as any other kind."
It is stated that Baroness Hengel
muller nearly fell down dead when
she saw this interview in the New
York papers and then saw it copied
into the Washington papers. Baroness
Hengelmuller is nothing if not con
ventional. She lives by form and
rote, and to do anything out of the
regular is in her opinion to commit a
crime.
She came back home in a state of
nervous collapse, declared she never
said a word of it and that Washington
is perfectly lovely.
Baroness Hengelmuller wears that
title in her own right, and both she
and the baron belong to the stern Aus
trian court circles; that is, the baron
does now. She was born into that
world of convention and rules, where
you could sit by the fireplace and burn
up before the servant next to you
would make an attempt to save you
unless that was his particular court
function.
The baroness was a widow when
she married Mr. Ladlslaus Hengelmul
ler von Hengervar, and it never pleas
ed her at all that he was a plain
"Mr." She was never quite happy un
til she secured her husband the em
bassadorship from Austro-Hungarf

printing placed in such a way that al
first glance it would appear as a dime.
The idea was cleverly executed. A fall
imitation of the head of Liberty was
on one side and the advertisement on
the other. The number was placed
where the date on a dime is and the
first glance certainly impressed one
as the real coin. The other side had
a shear of wheat and in the center the
words "On Time."
The firm had no desire to defraud
the public. But unscrupulous people
who had access to them did. Sev
eral firms and persons lost money by
accepting the advertisement for real
money, chewing gum machines were
filled with them, and at last these
cret service learned how matters were
and began an investigation. Then
were 150,000 of the metals confiscated.
Some stray ones, however, were in clr

"hunt them down."

CONSTIPATION
M u r y on's Paw
SPaw Pills arc unlike
all other laxatives or
cathartics. They coax
weaken; but they do
start all the secre
tions of the liver and
stomach in a way that
pans in a healthy
condition and cor
rects constipation.
Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are, a tonio
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en
rich the blood instead of impoverish it;
they enable the stomach to get all the
nourishment from food that is put into
it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope, they arc soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels to
act without physic. Price 25 cents.

In a town In Georgia there wa3 an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived It to be a place where. If
ono should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, un
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service ono
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
"I don't suppose that you knew that
tho editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat."
"I reckon I knew It well, for I'd
been told of it," said the preacher,
calmly. "I don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, I put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time." —

Admiral Potter told a new one on
Sir John Fisher. When Sir John was
at tho head of the British admiralty
he was most Inaccessible. One day an
old boatswain appeared. He would
not take "no" for an answer. Finally
a secretary went Into Sir John's of
fice, leaving the door ajar. He told
the admiral that a sailor demanded
an Interview.
"Tell him togo to hell," roared Sir
John.
"Aye, aye, sir," piped the boatswain,
who stood In th« doorway at a re
spectful salute; "I know I'll meet you
there, sir, but i want to tulk to you
now, too."
