WORK FOR CONGRESS
ACTION ON RECIPROCITY QUES
TION IS IMPERATIVE.
Common Courtesy to Canada Oemar>dß
It, Says the Indianapolis News,
Which Favors the Agree
ment Entered Into.
Immediately after tho adjournment
of congress the president issued his
proclamation calling a special session
to meet April 4. It is summoned
solely for the purpose of determining
whether It will enact such legislation
as is necessary to make effective the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Had the late congress done this there
would have been 110 special session.
Those who are sorry to see congress
come together again will, therefore,
have to blame congress itself rather
than tho president. Obviously it
would have been impossible to permit
this agreement to be hung up for
months. Such a course would have
been most discourteous to Canada.
Here is an agreement between the
two governments, and the question is
whether it shall be putin force. Can
ada has a right to know what we are
going to do about it. Not only so,
but the executive department of our
government has pledged itself to do
what it can to bring about ratifica
tion. In the presidential proclama
tion Is this:
"The agreement stipulates that
not only the president of the United
States will communicate to congress
the conclusion now reported and rec
ommend the adoption of such legisla
tion as may be necessary on the part
of the United States to give effect to
the proposed agreement, but also
that the governments of the two coun
tries will use their utmost efforts to
bring about such changes by concur
rent legislation at Washington and
at Ottawa.
Common decency, therefore, de
mand that we make up our minds
promptly on this question. The ex
tra session was, therefore, necessary,
made necessary by the refusal of the
senate to allow the reciprocity bill to
come to a vote. It is believed that
the new congress will pass the bill.
Certainly it ought to do so.
But though the president suggests
only one line of action for congress
it Is not bound by any limitation. It
may take up any subject It pleases.
That at least a beginning will be
made in the work of tariff reform is
generally believed. The matter has
been carefully considered by the
Democrats, who will be In command
of the house, and a general plan has
been outlined. It ought to be pos
sible at the special session to do
something in the way of tariff reform
that will greatly benefit the people.
Conditions, it should be remembered,
are peculiar. The president Is inter
ested In the subject. The Insurgent
Republicans are convinced that the
tariff is far too high. The old pro
tectionists element has been greatly
weakened in the senate. There is a
general agreement that something ta
wrong with the tariff, and there Is a
general agreement, too, on the propo
sition that it is much too high. The
Democrats will certainly try to do
something to Improve the situation.
Indeed, It will not be easy to consider
the reciprocity agreement apart from
the tariff. Any discussion of the one
Is sure to provoke discussion of the
other)—lndianapolis News.
The Extra Beaalon.
If the chances of tariff agitation
and actual or attempted legislation,
In an extra session, can be consid
ered disturbing to trade and industry,
it is certain that the fear of what
would surely happen In the regular
session beginning next November
would be more depressing and un
favorable. The extra session will
get the worst of the business over
with and out of the way as soon as
possible. It will show what the
Democratic majority in the house and
the much strengthened Democratic
minority In the senate mean to do
and what they can do, and what they
cannot accomplish.
Trying Experience.
A Derbyshire miner, Herbert Martin,
had a trying experience recently. Mar
tin was employed at the Grimethorpe
pit, anil while working one morning
his lamp went out. In the darkness
he missed his way, and wandered to
an unfrequented part of tho mine.
Here he whh Imprisoned without food
or light for a whole week before he
was discovered by his comrades.
Though much exhausted by his l«ng
fast, he Is now recovering.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1911.
MARKS CHANGE OF METHODS
Ending of Speaker Cannon'* Term of
Office Has Deep and Unique
Significance.
Speaker Cannon's term In the
chuir of tbo house ended in a scene
of storm and strife- a fitting close.
The half-threat uttered against him
by an indignant member was typical
of the later attitude of the house; his
contemptuous defiance, in telling this
member that he asked no advantage
on the ground of age, was typical of
Cannon himself. Like some war-worn
admiral, he hauled down his flag
when the time of retirement came,
fighting to the last.
It has seemed a little odd, In re
cent months, to recall that popularity
that Speaker Cannon enjoyed not so
very long ago. His democratic ways,
his outspokenness, his grim resolute
ness all won him favor. He was even
named among the possible candidates
for president. But the house grew
weary of his methods of rule- —or the
methods which he inherited—and of
the policies which he approved and
lent his energies to carrying out. In
the struggle between the Insurgents
and the Old Guard, his popularity
vanished.
One of the chief things performed
by the congress that has just gone
out of existence was the clipping of
the powers of the speaker of the
house. Perhaps in time to come the
house will make up its mind that it
can accomplish more business, with
less friction, by making its speaker
the servant of the house, as In the
case of the speaker of the British
house of commons. But even as it
is, with the departure of Speaker
Cannon an era in the history of the
house of representatives came to an
end.
Mr. Bryan has never modified his
remark that he is good for a total of
eight presidential campaigns. What
he proposes to do at the half-way point
will be one of the political problems
of 1912,
The President and the Tariff.
Nearly all the severe criticism of
the president has been based upon
his tariff record.
He was criticized for signing the
Payne bill, and told that a veto would
have immortalized him and saved his
party. No clear reasoning accom
panied the statement. He had made
no secret of the fact that the bill did
not fill Ills desires, and he had men
tioned the wool schedule as a defect.
But the bill had come to him with a
large majority of the Republicans of
both houses of congress at its back,
and as it contained many things of
which he approved he signed.
Suppose he had vetoed the meas
ure. Would the special session have
been prolonged In an effort to meet
the president's wishes, or the matter
been permitted togo over to the regu
lar session? In either event the un
rest In business circles would have
continued, and the Republican party
been held responsible. So far from
saving the party the beating it got
last November, a veto might have
added to the size of the Democratic
majority.—Washington Star.
Move Is a Wise One.
There is no good reason why the
prospect of an extra session of con
gress should be looked upon by
business men, or by any other class,
as a thing to be avoided, even at
heavy cost. President Taft's deter
mlnatlon to call the senate and the
house back to Washington immediate
ly after the end of the present ses
sion, is not reckless or hasty. It Is
not an 111-considered attempt to bully
the senate or force the administration
program upon an unwilling congress.
It Is wise and timely action In the
Interest of progressive legislation and*
sound national policy. The worst
that can be said of It by the most
timid spokesmen of business Interests
is that it is the less of two evils.—
Cleveland Leader.

Lure of the Spider.
Spiders have a number of ingenious
ways of alluring and catching their
prey. A writer describes an American
spider which haunts evergreen trees,
and snares its dinner by means of a
kind of ltu'so. The web of the spider
Is triangular In form. Two corners
of the triangle are attached to twigs,
but the other corner, which ends in
a single thread. Is held by the spider,
perched on a neighboring twig When
a fly strikes the \»eb the spider loos
ens his hold and *he elastic threads
instantly entangle the victim.

The Hair
I
A BAND for the hair every hour
of the twenty-four Is the latest
fad to which milady is devoting
herself heart and mind. Appar
ently we have juat discovered the
neatness and beauty of bands for the
hair, which should have been brought
home to our intelligence long ago.
For wear in the daytime, the plain
band, of black velvet or other ribbon,
harmonizes with hair of every color,
and lends a sparkle to gray hair which
is particularly beautiful. Manufactur
ers are making bands of many varie
ties to harmonize with most of the
shades of hair, of which there are in
numerable gradations. These bands
are for daytime wear, all about two
and a half inches wide. They are fin
ished with a flat bow and fasten with
hooks and eyes.
For evening, wide lustrous ribbon,
tulle net and spangled fabrics are
used. The rosette is fastened just
above the tip of the ear. Velvet rib
bons In vivid shades of green—in
coral and cerise, as well as black, are
used with ornaments of rhinestone.
Even at night, wide soft ribbons are
worn when the hair is putin rollers
or on pins, to conceal them and render
the head sightly. The back hair, braid
ed in two loose braids, is tied at the
end with a yard length of wide, soft
ribbon. The braids are brought about
tha head with one length of the rib
bon. The other ribbon Is tied In a
small bow a little to one side of the
center of the brow. The band in the
DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED
Idea That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance of
Room.
Brass beds look charming and at
tractive and often brighten an other
wise dark bedroom, but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has a high head and footboard to pro
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de
vised a scheme which not only cor
rected this defect, but also added a
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat were
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the sur
face. She bought more of this mate
rial and made covers that slipped
easily over the brass rods at the
head and foot of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material. A frill was also
fastened around the mattress, which
showed beneath the bedspread.
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
but were also useful In protecting the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
the dally wear and tear of a much
used room.
They were made to be removed
easily 4f required for special occa

GOOD FEATURE IN LINGERIE
New Undergarments That Can Be
Laundered Quickly and Easily
Anywhere.
When you see tome of the soft,
clingy and entirely adorable crepe lin
gerie which 1s shown In the French
shops now you will simply throw dis
cretion to the winds, take out the bill
you were fondly cherishing for some
thing or other and have the temptress
—who In this case Is the little sales
lady with the queer accent—wrap up
your pet piece. Then you'll hurry homf
to "try It on," revel In tha possession
of it and linger over the luxury of Its
dainty laces and fascinating ribbon
bows.
And really you won't be BO Indls
} creet after all, especially if you are

j because the crepe lingerie doesn't re
| quire a laundress to be made fresh
i and clean. Usually It Is combined with
i real torchon on Irish crochet, both of
| which can be pulled Into shape with
| out the aid of an iron.
Many a girl who travels has found It
j impossible to gratify her longing for
dainty underwear because of the un-
I certainties of laundering. After hav
ing it returned a few times torn and
spoiled, she has settled down to plalr
garments devoid of any of the lrresis
tible little feminine touches. For her
the silk crepe Idea will be a positive
Joy, for she can retire to her hotel
bathroom and, with the assistance of
a cake of good, pure soap, may restore

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Sun's Rays Penetrates Hu
man Life 18 Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.
The sunlight, with its mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one of the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever it penetrates, In prudently regu
lated moderation, it quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one of
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt
edly a great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and ill health. More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments, kitchen, sitting rooms,
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.
