NO LANDSLIDE LIKELY
COUNTRY NOT READY TO
CHANGE GOVERNMENT.
Democratic Party Unwise In Its A»-
sumption of Victory In the Com
ing Presidential Campaign—
Significance In Figures.
There la a widespread Impression
that the test of public sentiment In
the fall of 1910 Indicated a complete
landslide for the Democratic ticket in
1912. It Is generally believed that
the Democrats swept the country by
an enormous majority In the total
vote for congressmen, and that they
have only to come somewhere near
holding their ground to repeat that
triumph in the presidential campaign.
The figures do not - warrant this
conclusion. There was no stich one
sided fight last fall. There is no rea
son to expect anything of the kind
next year.
Taking the vote for congressmen as
the test throughout the country, be
cause some states held no election for
state offices und in others the results
were much mixed, the official returns
show that the Republicans carried 24
states in 1910, with a total of 210
electoral votes. These states are
California. Connecticut. Delaware.
Idaho. Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada. New Hamp
shire, North Dakota, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island. South Dakota.
Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wiscon
sin and Wyoming.
The Democrats carried twenty-two
states with a total of 273 electoral
votes. They were successful in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Indiana. Kentucky, Louis
lana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia.
On the total popular vote for Con
gressmen the Democratic margin was
about equal to the sum of the Demo
cratic majorities in Texas and Louis
iana. Outside of three or four states
In the South where the elections al
ways go by default, without a real
contest, the Republicans carried the
country on the vote for congressmen.
Looking only at the electoral vote
as it would be If the states all re
mained next year where they stood
last November, it should be noted
that New York has thirty-nine votes
in the electoral college, on the appor
tionment as it is today. The Empire
State will be relatively stronger in
1912. If the thirty-nine votes of New
York are subtracted from the total of
273 votes which the Democrats would
have on the basis of last fall's test of
public sentiment, only 234 remain.
If the thirty-nine votes of New York
are added to the 210 which seemed
safely Republican last November the
total rises to 249, or fifteen more than
the Democrats appear to have a
chance of getting without New York.
Looks Like a Case of Quality.
A free-trade paper cites the price
of beef in El Paso, Texas, and in Ju
arez, Mexico, across the Rio Grande,
as evidence of the effect of the tarifT
on the cost of food. Says this remark
able source of light and leading:
"One pound of sirloin steak in El-
Pbso costs 15 cents; just across the
Rio Grande in Juarez 5 cents buys a
pound of steak. The tariff is IVi
cents a pound."
On the face of the figures the tariff
cannot possibly account for B*£ cents
out of the total difference of 10 cents.
What explains 85 per cent, of the In
crease over Mexican prices when the
International boundary is crossed?
The tariff cannot be held responsible
for more than 15 per cent, of the dif
ference, at the utmost.
It looks like a case of quality In the
meat, together with generally primi
tive an 9 antiquated ways of working
and doing business in the land of
Diaz and the insurrectos.
Penalty of Our Indifference.
The history of the relation of the
Cnited States to the rest of the
American republics Is for the most
part a history of indlfTerence and
neglect. We have not known nor
cared how the younger Bisters were
faring. We have gone our ways to
our farm* and our merchandise as If
they had no existence. Ilrazil. the
Argentine and Chill have done mar
velous things In iVe conquest of new
countries und the building up of
mighty cities; but no part of the
glory has been ours. . . . To be
neglectful of moral and human obll
gallons is always expensive in a
money sense also. The Importer and

philanthropist may well take common

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911.
DIFFICULT PATH TO TREAD
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama Has Been Called Upon
to Face Much Trouble.
In a few weeks Mr. Underwood of
Alabama may he the most conspicu
ous public man In America, and re
main so for months. If the sixty-sec
r>nd congress sits in extra session th«
tariff will be the principal topic c.f
discussion, and the chairman of the
ways and means committee will lead
the discussion. The moves he makes
will all be closely appraised. The
words he utters in debate will all be
read and reread with caxe. The re
vision proponed will be known —at the
start at least— as the Underwood re
vision. If the unexpected should hap
pen, and the senate, through a com
bination of insurgent Republicans and
Democrats, Bhould accept the house's
work, the new law will be known as
the Underwood law. For these rea
sons a very white light will beat on
the gentleman from Alabama from
the moment ho takes the .reins.
His home is in Birmingham—a
prosperous city, with the local capital
invested in manufactures. The iron in
dustry flourishes there, and the place
is called in business circles the Pitts
burg of the South. Protection as a
policy is well considered even In
Democratic circles. Birmingham has
profited by its operations. And con
stituencies. north, south, east and
west, after discovering a good thing
and feeling its value want to hold on
to it.
How will Mr. Underwood, an out
spoken revenue-tariff man. meet the
emergency and with what result to
his personal fortunes? Several of his
Democratic predecessors in a similar
endeavor "lost out." Colonel Morri
son of Illinois, by his course as chair
man of ways and means, weakened
himself at homo, and in a few years
had to yield his place. Mr. Mills was
more fortunate, and survived his tar
iff bill ten years, going meanwhile to
the senate. But his influence waned
after his tariff fight, and Mr. Bailey's
attitude today on the tariff is not that
of Mr. Mills of 20 odd years ago. Mr.
Springer's popgun bills were not se
riously regarded, but they contributed
to his retirement from congress.
It was Mr. Wilson of West Virginia
who paid a heavy and Immediate pen
alty for his tariff views and record.
His constituents were interested In
protection, and resented his course in
the revision of 1894. which in part
bore his name. Down he went at the
first chance they got at him. Mr.
Cleveland broke his fall with an ap
pointment to the cabinet, and from
the cabinet he passed to the presi
dency of a Virginia college, but his
political hold at home was completely
destroyed.
Mr. Underwood will tread a difficult
path, and probably knows it. He has
said that some of his protection con
stituents consider him a free trader,
while some of his associates in con
gress. because of his constituents,
consider him a protectionist. When
he gets into his stride as chairman
of ways and means both sides may
attack him. and if they do his road
will be as rocky as the famous one
to Dublin. A straddle on the tariff is
the most frequently attempted, and
yet the most difficult, thing in our
politics.
Knox Plan Working Well.
That the arbitration agreement be
tween Peru and Ecuador arranged by
Secretary Knox and recently signed
in Washington has already brought
about good feeling between the two
countries is indicated by the an
nouncement that Senor M. H. Cor
nejo, Peruvian minister to Spain, and
L. F. Carbo, the Ecuadorean peace
commissioner, will sail together in
adjoining suites on the Hamburg-
American steamship Prince Joachim,
leaving for Colon on Saturday. The
recent acuteness of their respective
nations' relations were apparently for
gotten as they marched up arm In
ami to the steamship offices to pur
chase their tickets.
No Thought of Annexation.
President Taft has frankly dis
avowed that reciprocity has the
slightest relation to political union
with Canada and now Premier Lau
rler of the Dominion is allaying the
fears of the timorous on his side of
the international boundary. There it)
no occasion for misunderstanding on
this subject and there would be no
apprehension but for the deliberate
attempts made in certain quarters to
misrepresent the facta for the pur
pose of arousing opposition to the
plan. But thinking people in the
United States and Canada will not
be deceived by such transparent trick
ery.

Shapes for
BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
THREE of the prettiest shapes
among the new hats for spring are
shown here. One might choose with i
the eyes shut and be sure of pos- (
sensing grace, style and real beauty
to anj of these. They tit well and are ,
only moderately large.
Hemp and mllan appear to lead In
the point of popularity, but there are
innumerable lovely models In other
braids as well—hair braid, pyroxylin,
chip, leghorn, tuscan, In fact every
braid. Including the rough Japs, flnds
a following, and there is no lack of
variety In size or shape.
The hair braids and hemps are
greatly favored for dress hats to be
trimmed with French plumes and lace
or ribbon—or both. Mllans and hemps
are liked for big masses of flowers.
Many of these trimmed with big
bunches of lilacs are blooming in tri
umph at Palm Beach just now.
A great many shapes are shown
with borders (called "flanges") of vel
vet, and come are faced with velvet.
Small shapes with upturned brims
nearly always are improved by a vel
vet facing on the brim or coronet.
The velvet flange is an undoubted ad
vantage, adding finish and distinction
to the shape. Its placing Is a matter
of perfect workmanship.
It will be noticed that crowns in
the hats are conservative; they are
not specially large or high or notice
able In any way. The achievement of

grace in outline Is the paramount Idea
in spring shapes and Is more highly
regarded than any other feature. This
Is a good sign. So far there seems to
be an absence of freaklshness this sea
son, In any direction.
It looks as If flowers were to catch
the fancy of all women young enough
to wear flower-laden shapes. They
are so pretty. Both the hats and
flowers come In great ranges of lovely
colors. Milans In the yellow or nat
ural color and hemps In all colors give
a choice from grave to gay and all
the notes between.
There is a shape for every face. It
is very essential to pick out the most
becoming one and this Is a serious
matter.
MEDIUM STYLES FOR SPRING
Coming Millinery Will Offer Many
Choices, So That Surely All
May Be Suited.
The woman who cannot find millin
ery to suit her this season will Indeed
be very difficult to please. Not in
many years has It been made possible
for women to be so sanely and, at the
same time, so fashionably hatted as
at present.
The styles are medium In all things.
Crowns are moderately high, brlniß
are neither too wide nor too narrow,
and trimmings are in no wise exag
gerated.
The smart-looking turbans are most
attractive and come In a variety of
models and colorings to suit every
type of face. As a rule, two colors
are combined, and not infrequently
two fabrics besides the trimmings. A
soft, coarse, rather wide straw and
the fine braid of crinoline are a favor
ed combination. The crown In folds
will be of the heavier straw and the
crushed brim of the crinoline or hair.
The golden shades, which Include lem
on, ecru and leghorn, are preferred for
the crown, while the brim will be of
a contrasting co!or, as blue, dark red,
green or black.
No lesß attractive than the shapes
are the trimmlnKS. The cockade of
chanticleer red velvet decorating a
hat of golden and black tones is an
example of smart, becoming lines. A
modified sugar loaf hat, the crown en
tirely concealed under tiny rosebuds,
and the brim of black flexible straw,
Is another pretty model. A tiny
blackbird nestling on the left side is
the only trimming
The fashionable trimmings are small
flowers, single quills, small birds, me
dium wings, soft ribbons and velvet.
Now for Turned-Up Hats.
Once more will it bo possible tc
sen women's eyes and hair. Mat brlmi
still will be large, but they are to b<

models for the fast coming spring
time. They come In all sizes On«

ever, will be worn only be the extrem
ists. Even women are weary ot them
for they have been carried to such ab
surd measurements that they bo long

child, I naturally scratched St. It

utterly intolerable, In fact, it was so
that I could not possibly forget about

I thought I would take the Cuticura
treatment as a last resort. Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created 'The Cuticura Mira
cles,' as I have named them, for now
I feel as if I never suffered from even

shall never cease praising the wonder

be without them, in fact, I can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me
so long as I have Cuticura Remedies
