2 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS,, H. H. MUIiUN, Kditor and Proprietor Published Every Thursday TMPORIUM," PENNSYLVANIA We expect most of the various rec ords to be broken tins year. In the present stage of aviation'* development you never can tell. We gain a minute of daylight every day but the gas bills goon just the same. Is there no way to save the bird men from death except by clipping their wings? If Hayti and San Domingo goto war why not let them emulate the Kilkenny cats? Some men give up as readily to masked bandits as they do to fake gold mine promoters. But is shooting ducks from an aero plane true sportsmanship? Why not give the ducks a chance? Maybe some people prefer ragtime and organized cheering because It drowns the other kind of music. If those who indulge in organized cheering do not enjoy it they think they do, which is much the same. Orville Wright says that aviation Is safer than automobillng. Undoubted ly so—for the innocent bystanders. If the south pole does not receive visitors it will not be because nobody Is knocking at the refrigerator door.

Wonder if the young man who thinks there is only one girl in the world for him realizes that the pop ulation of the country is 93,402,151. It has been discovered that an es tate which has been in litigation for 42 years has doubled in value. Prob ably tho lawyers' fees have not been paid yet. The lowa pedagogue who asserts that loud clothes make noisy persons has got the cart before the horse. Noisy persons are responsible for loud clothes. Portland, Ore., expects to have a million inhabitants in 25 years. All right, but Portland should take it to heart that she cannot get them by padding the census. What's the sense in Meking because you have to take the ashes from un der the furnace? A man in lowa has sued for divorce because his wife made him sleep with the cows. Still there is this much to be saJd for those attempts to break the alti tude record: In case of accident a few thousand feet more or less makes no difference, even to the underta ker. A machine that measures thought has been invented It will not. have togo very fast in measuring the thought of the yonng man who pro poses to reform by first going on a spree. In view of tho published assertion that about 30 per cent of the people of New York state ar insane, It Is not surprising that Insanity Is so fre quently pleaded there as an excuse for crime. American mules are preferred to all otl er kinds in South Africa. Prob ably the native dialects there are the nearest possible approach In sound to the language on which the mules are brought tip.

Wisdom and Patriotism Must Be Lib erally Employed If the Country Is Not to Be Called Onto Suffer Loss. Tho tariff is a subject In which the workingman Is us much interested as Is the manufacturer, and he has a double Interest in the subject because he is a consumer as well as a com petitor with foreign labor. The first national tariff was levied In 1789, soon after it was authorized by the constitution. It was wholly for revenue and imposed a duty of about 8 per cent, ad valorem on all Imported goods. The entire country depended on agriculture and most of the manufacturing was spinning and weaving, done in the homes of the people. Finally cotton and woolen mills were established in New England, and in the war of 1812-14 with Great Brit ain foreign trade was largely cut off and dependence was had on home manufactures, which were consider ably increased. In 1810 the tariff was raised to 25 per cent., the agricultural south actively protesting. In 1828 a tariff on raw material for the beneflt of the manufacturers was levied, and in 1836 still other duties were laid on metals and agricultural products. This was the tariff that South Carolina nul lified until she was repressed into obedience by General (then Presi dent) Jackson. The south from the first was the most uncompromising protestant against any tariff that possessed any protective features until recent years, when the manufacture of cotton goods has become a great industry in this section, and several of the southern states ask for protection from the sugar of Germany and the tropics, and from the rice of China and Japan, and from the free low-grade timber from Canada. Thus it is seen that the south is no longer the out-and-out free trade sec tion it once was. Nevertheless, the Democratic party, in which the south predominates, comes very near being a free trade party. Of course, this is going to make trouble, because just as soon as the Democrats get possession of the pop ular house of congress they propose to plunge right into tariff revision. They threaten to rip the present tariff law right down the back and up again. It will unsettle business to a serious degree and may end by driving a large body of the southern people into the Republican party, as was the case when tariff agitation over free sugar did that for a number of our Louis iana sugar planters. It will be useless to attempt to rea son with headstrong partisans, who, having been long out of political pow er and having finally got in, are de termined to enforce their power to the last extreme of domination. But there is always a wise and prudent element that has the public good at heart. Its members recognize that there are vast and diverse interests at stake, and therefore an effort of com promise is necessary that will con serve to a reasonable degree the in terests of all. The American pro ducer, manufacturer and wage-earner must not be placed at the mercy of foreign pauper labor, nor must the consumer be forced to pay heavy tribute to any protected interest. The just rights of all must be regarded and preserved. The tariff i 3 going to be a great issue before the country when the next congress shall take it up, and it must be approached with extreme care and all the wisdom and patriotism possible. Will Mr. Clark "Make Good?" The recent evasive utterances of tho speaker-to-be of tiie house of repre sentatives, Hon. Beauchamp Clark of Missouri, with respect to tariff legis lation when the Democrats shall come into control of the house contrast odd ly with tlie clear and binding declara tions made by this same Mr. Clark at a Tammany hail celebration in New York city last Fourth of July at a time when there was no re|l expecta tion of Democratic success. In the course of ills remarks upon that occa sion Mr. Clark said: "If we have the next house, as I be lieve we will have, we will honestly and courageously report a bill to re vise the tariff down to a revenue basis, pass it through the house ami send It over to the uenale. Perhaps by that time the senate, yielding to the pub- He demand, will also pass It. If it does not, we will goto tho people on that Issue In 1912." I ills is very much to tho purpose. But- will Mr Clark remember It and »t. iid by It? There Is reason to fear that he will not.

HARMON NOT STRONG LEADER 3mall Chance for Ohio Governor to Secure for His Party a National Victory. Everything that Gov. Judson Har mon has done or failed to do, all that ho lias said or omitted to say, since his re-election has Justified the cam paign charge so forcibly and so fu tllely made, that he has neither cour age nor vision enough to be a real leader of men, in a great state and In a time of uplift and progress. There is no light or inspiration in the chief executive of Ohio. He does not urge action along the lines on which public Interest is cen tered. He maps out no broad and epochal advance. He unmistakably and ignobly dodges dynamic Issues of the day. Even in the choice of a United States senator, his course Is plainly dictated by prudence rather than the convictions of a strong and courageous man. Judge Harmon is werring the fet tering ambitions of a presidential can didate. He dreads the possible con sequences of taking a decided stand on any dangerous question of the day. He serves Ohio as governor with his mind ever on the White House and the double campaign for nomination and election which must precede his attainment of that goal. All this Is what the governor's op ponents told the people of his state last fall, but then the warnings fell on deaf ears because it was not Har mon that, constituted the real issue of the campaign. His election was not a testimonial to him, but a rebuke to the dominant forces in the Republican organization in Ohio. Twice Judson Harmon has been swept into office by an accident of politics, but such luck has its limits. No man who is not a real leader of the American people can maintain a position in public life which ought to Imply overshadowing personal talents and natural mastery in great affairs.— Cleveland Leader. The Ticklish Tariff-Test. Fresh illustration of the apprehen siveness of certain Democratic gentle men as to where "tariff reform" may break out when their party gets a chance at. the job is furnished by the way in which they are trying to "shoo" Senator Bailey ofT the track. Senator Hailey, as has come to be pretty well known, belongs to that considerable contingent of southern Democrats who have seen new light on the tariff question. Several of them affirm that they are protection ists and do not care who knows it. Senator Bailey is not quite so out spoken. but he does advocate a duty on certain "raw materials." And, be it said, proposing a duty on raw ma terials is, In the eyes of a real, true blue Democratic tariff reformer, the unpardonable economic sin. Yet there comes "from Washington the rumor that Senator Bailey is using his In fluence to secure the creation, In the next Democratic house of representa tives, of a committee on ways and means that will favor a "tax" on raw materials. Senator Bailey is from Texas, not from Missouri, and there is no necessity for "showing" him. He knows that Texas raises a whole lot of things that are "raw materials" for various industries, and some that are important food-products. So why should there not be a duty on cotton, rice, a wide variety of vegetables, corn, hay, and other products ci Texas? Getting the Information. No one who has been through the campaign of cross-purposes which chiefly characterizes the process of tariff revision can fail to realize the Impossibility of evading under the old system the consequences in< Jog-roll ing, or of accurately sifting the truth from the exaggerated statements of those financially Interested in the maintenance or the Increase of tariffs. The commission method of investigat ing by the aid of non partisan experts the details of manufacture and produc tion at home and abroad will at least furnish the congress a body of Infor mation that will he authoritative and colorless. It will obviously impose no obligation upon senators or represent atives to accept the conclusions of such official and Impartial Investiga tors, but the publication of the results of such inquiries will create a force of enllghted public opinion that al most certainly will bo a bulwark against many of the Inequalities and blemishes in all tarifT laws, past and present.—Chicago Tribune. Influence. Otie of the reasons assigned by Champ Clark for opposing the exist ing tarifT commission Is that under the constitution such a commission shall be merely advisory In character. This luck of authority, he Insists, would make Its work futile. It might be observed that the result of the recent election was chit-fly due to advisory Influences, such ns articles In newspapers und mngazlnea, that had nu authority whatsoever. Yet these Influences seem to have Insured the election of Mr. ("lurk us speaker of the next house The present minority lender ought to be the IHHI man on enrth to under value the power of Influence In the moderu world.

Ways of Serving Chicken. Chicken need not be an extravagant dish, as the bits of left-over meat may be worked Into croquettes, salads, creamed chicken and numerous other dishes. The bones of the chicken need not be wasted, as they will make soup and broths. Chicken a la Marengo.—This Is said to be the dish that was served Napo leon after the battle of Marengo. Singe and clean a five-pound chicken, cut it up as for a fricassee. In a saucepan melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and add three tablespoonfuls of olive oil. When it is hot, add the white meat, with salt, pepper and a clove of garlic. Mix and cook over the heat until each piece Is a golden brown. Have ready a tomato sauce made from a can of tomatoes, a little onion, parsley, carrot and celery which have been cooked until thick, then rubbed through a sieve, and a tablespoonful of butter added. To the chicken add a pound of fresh mush rooms which have been peeled and sauted in a little butter for five min utes. Arrange the chicken on a plat ter and add to the gravy three ta blespoonfuls of tomato puree; stir until it is hot. Pour over the chicken and serve. Chicken Giblets on Toast. —Cook the giblets until tender over a slow fire, then chop fine; add the broth in which they were cooked, season with salt, pepper and a little onion, add a half qup of hot cream. Pour over buttered toast and serve. Chicken Croquettes.—Boil a young chicken until tender, cut the meat Into dice. Saute in butter a half pound of fresh mushrooms, make a cream sauce, using the broth and equal quantity of cream in making the sauce; use three tablespoonfuls of butter and three of flour; cook to gether, then add a cup each of broth and thick cream. Chicken cut up and baked in milk is a new dish to many. Cover the first hour of cooking and remove the cover to brown. Thicken the milk for a gravy and serve poured around the chicken.

The red, white and blue of the flag seems to be the appropriate color scheme for Washington Birthday en tertainments. There are so many pretty little things in the shops that may be used for this occasion. Boxes made in the form of drums or cocked hats, which may be used for salted nuts or bonbons. Small flags tied to stand make very pretty decoration; they may be used to hold the place card. Fondant made into balls and dipped Into chocolate make very real-looking cannon balls, and if piled canon-ball fashion add to the appropriately dec orated table. Cherries are, of course, the fruit most appropriate to the occasion, and may be used In numerous ways for decoration or on food combinations. For a children's party, a nice little surprise cake may be made, using the ordinary sponge cake mixture, which is more wholesome than the rich cup cakes for the little people. Hake them in gem pans, the little brownie irons are a nice shape. When cold, cut off a slice and scoop out the center, fill them with preserved cherries, put back the slice ajid cover with a boiled frosting or dip them in softened fondant. Pineapple Lemonade. Make a sirup by boiling two cupfuls nf sugar and a cup of water together ten minutes, add the Juice of three lentous and one can of grated pine apple. Cool, strain and dilute with one quart of water. A delicious sandwich to serve with fhis lemonade Is cottage cheese, well seasoned with salt and well mixed with chopped candied cherries. French chops may bo arranged on n platter to simulate a cannon and po tatoes cut into bulls and browned In fat may be piled to look like cannon balls. Tile potatoes should first be par boiled until tender, then browned In hot nit. The Limit of Depravity.

THE SCHOOLS OF WESTERN CANADA in Some of the Cities and Towns th# School Buildings Cannot Accom modate the Increasing Num bers. One of the most important factors In the building of a new country is the attention that is paid by the au thorities to the education of the rising generation. Fortunately for western Canada, the settlement of that new country began in such recent years that It was able to lay a foundation for this work, gained by the experi ence of older countries. In this way the very best Is the result. Through out the entire country are to be seen '.he most improved stylo of architec ture in school buildings. The cities and towns vie with each other in the efforts to secure the best of accom modation and at the same time get architectural lines that would appeal. Sufficient to say that nowhere is there the greater attention paid to elemen tary and advanced education than in western Canada. A report just to hand shows that In Calgary, Alberta, there are eighty teachers employed, and the enrollment 4,228 pupils. In the I'rovince of Alberta there was a total of 46,000 pupils attending schools in 1909. The total enrollment for the year In city, town and village schools was 22.853, and the total in rural schools was 23,165. There are in the province 970 schools with 1,323 de partments. At the close of 1909 there was a total of 1,096 school districts in the province. Great attention is paid also to agricultural education. The best uses of the soil and such other matters as tend to make the agricul ture less of a drudge and more of a success are employed. When there Is the combination of good soil, splen did climate and healthy and advanced ideas in the methods employed in agriculture, we see accomplished the results that have placed western Can ada on its present high plane in the agricultural world. There is to be found men of high standing in liter ary spheres as well as in financial circles who are carrying on farming, not alone for the pleasure they de rive but for the profit they secure. Mr. Adler, a wide-awake business man of New York, has a ranch near Strath more, Alberta. He is highly pleased with his success the past year. He says: "On July 25th we estimated our crop at 6,000 bushels of wheat. A week later we increased our estimate to 12,000 bushels. A few days later we again increased our estimate, this time to 18,000 bushels, but after har vest in September we found we had 20,150 bushels. If that Isn't a record, what is?" he asked. "This crop was made with practi cally no moisture," he continued, "and we now have a better opinion of tha fertility of Alberta lands than ever and value our lands higher than we ever did before." Mr. Adler, who has been on the ranch for about a week, leaves for New York Saturday. This gentleman is conducting a farm on a large scale, and has plenty of means to develop It, and his may not be taken as a fair case. There are, though, instances of thousands who have begun life on small farms in western Canada with but brains and the determination over and above the couple of hundred dollars in ready money that they possessed, and today are owners of largo farms and hand some incomes, all the result of their efforts on land that was responsive to the touch of the hand that held the plow. Instances such as these can be quoted if you will communicate with the nearest Canadian government pgent. who will also mail you free de scriptive literature. The Latest Golf Story.
