ADJUSTMENTS


The summer theatrical season at East
Lake park was inaugurated last night
when the Casino opened its doors to a
crowd that filled the seats and over
flowed into the smoking gallery. The
Olympia Musical Comedy company pre-
scented said Pasha." This pleasing orr
entail opera was well received.
The opera was sung by practically the
same company which appeared a short
time ago at the Bijou theatre in The
Telephone Girl and the principals last
Il gn, seemed in good form. Miss Lottie
Kendall was especially attractive and her
songs contributed much to the evening S
entertainment. Miss Kendall played the
role of Serena, daughter of Nassen Bey,
and she wore some fetching costumes
Edward Eagleton and Leo j. Adde were
respectively Nadad and Nockey, pair Of
international hoboes. Il. f. Seamans play
ell Said Pasha and Robert q. Pitkin was
Nassen Bey,. Percy Matson acquitted him
SELF we'll as Troubedad.
The two comedians contrived to keep the
people in a good humor and the ensemble
songs had considerable volume. The Bijou
orchestra furnished the music.
The crowd last night was a record
breaker and the indications point to a
continuation of this patronage. Inc lake
is delightfully."- cool at night, while the
car service is excellent. There was no ex-
cuse for any one to stand up last night
on the way back to town.

TAFT BOOM CAUSED
NO BIG COMMOTION
Economist Says His Tariff
Policy is Faulty
NOT AN ODDS ON FAVORIIE
Action of This Republican Convention
Is cited as Example of Sentiment
Against His Proposed
Plans.
NOT AN ODDS ON FAVORITE

washington. June 5.-(Special)-The
Economist the weekly organ of the Amer
lean Protective Tariff league goes after
the Taft presidential boom in rather a
vigorous manner in it's last publication.
The trouble with the Economist is the
war seoretary's speech in favor of buying
canal material in the open market. This
decision as is evident from the excite
ment of the high tariff men, has worked
great harm to the present rates and the
high tariff men are trying hard to belittle
It Says the Economist:
AS preliminary workout for the
presidential nomination in 1903 Secretary
Tafts appearance as chairman Of the
Ohio republican state convention last
week was only mildly impressive, No
rate of speed was shown that would tend
to show this entry favorite in the books,
The convention was respectfully enthusi-
astic but not wildly so. 1t received in
silence Mr.. Tafts illusions to the tariff
revision and to free trade with the Phil
ippines and in its platform paid not the
slightest attention to either of the sug-
gestions.
"As a matter of fact, it was a stand
pat convention. Relative to tariff matters
the resolutions unanimously adopted
would hardly be considered a sympathetic
response to what Secretary Taft said In
| his opening speech as to the possible ne
cessity of readjustng and revising the
tariff in order to procure more revenue
Probably the delegates wondered what
Mr. Taft was driving at. Did he mean
that by a reduction of tariff rates i'm
portations might be increased so as to
produce additional revenues? If that was
what he had in mind the convention could
not escape from the conviction that this
would prove a costly tariff revision, for
it would involve the doubling of our
duty bearing and competitive imports.
but it may be that Mr.. Taft did not
mean this at all. Perhaps he intended
to hint that an all around increase OF
tariff rates would produce enough revenue
to wipe out the treasury deficit Perhaps
he was squirting toward tariff revision
Perhaps the convention took no chances
X contented itself declaring that no ster
shall be taken that may imperil or threaten
our good times. Not much encourage
ment for tariff tinkering downward in
that declaration. All of which impels us
to repeat the observation that the pre-
liminary working out of 1905 for the big
race of 1908 was not such as to make
Mr.. Taft an odds-on favorte in the win
ner books"
In all of the Economist article the word
tariff" is spelled with big ~ and
capitalized the same as the deity.

with the Fourth Russian squadron,
