VIEWS OF TAFT !.
GIVEN AN AIRING
Secretary Speaks at a Banquet
at Manila on History of
Party Divisions.
FEDERAL PURPOSE SERVED
QUITE NATURAL THE PEOPLE
SHOULD VOTE OTHERWISE.

Manila, Nov 6-Secretary Taft in an
address at a banquet given by the pro-
gresista party last night, spoke of the
history of party divisions and declared
that their existence was a necessary
part of the changes in the Philippines
1.-The only method of conducting pop
ular government" he said, lis by po-
time of its organization was in no
sense political. When it existed 1t was
the only party organized to convince
the people to accept the promises of
the Americans. 1t worked bravely and
faithfully to this end, and to such an
extent that much of the success of the
early government of the islands was in
no small measure due to the federalists.
They sought peace and taught the peo-
pie to seek peace.
Division Natural.
After the firm establishment of the
government had been accomplished, u
change was natural. In elections for
members of the assembly it was nat
ural for the people to divide. Know
ing and believing that both the ma
anu pIO6ICSlSldS IcNc Tic III
terest of the government at heart, the
question of which shall control is set
tied only by an election, sometimes
casting party information one way and
sometimes another.
THE first principle of party politics
necessary to learn Is that defeat must
not cause Encouragement The first
lesson IN elf-government that voters
have to learn is TO be good losers, and
when that is learned, to be good win
ners, because Self-government imposes
restraint on both sides. The minority
must not strive to strike down the
work of their opponents because they
are not in control, and the majority
must so conduct affairs as to show
that the people have a certain, def
mite part in the government. Nothing
has given greater pleasure or more
confidence in the success of what we
are doing than the action of the assem-
bly,. All matters up tQ.datsxh have. been
treated In CONSERVATIVE MANNER both
by the minority and the majority. All
ask is that the minority, while point
ing out the faults of the majority, may
always conduct itself with pride, so as
to show the assembly is a success"
Mistakes of Cuba.
The secretary referred to mistakes of
the Cuban government, due to lack of
interest in public affairs on the part
of the legislators of that island, and
declared that the Philippine assembly
showed a difference in this respect
Secretary Taft told the Associated
Press tonight that he expected to re-
turn home over the Siberian railway.
He thought at first that the troubles
at Vladivostok would keep his party
away from there. He has received no
replies to dispatches of inquiry he has
sent, but he regards it as extremely
probable that he will stick to his orig
inal plans.
A meeting in Manila last night of ma
cionalista radicals, no members of the
assembly being present, adopted a mo-
ton censuring the majority of that
body for inaction in regard to propo-
sitions in favor of independence.

THE CASE OF THE SALOONS
AS.PUT BY THEIR ADVO-
CATE.
THE INCOME OF THE SALOONS OF
CANTON.
THE DRINK BILL OF MADISON COUNTY
CATE. N

There is a we'll written and con
servative article published in th'
Herald Of last week in opposition
to the local option election to abol
ish the saloons.
The writer is evidently vel
posted as to the extent of the busi.
ness at Canton, and makes for the
saloons as strong showing as can
be made. We would print the
whole article if we had space, Ibnl
as we have not, we will give its sa.
lient points:
1st--He says the Caution saloon,
sell from $3.50 900 to $500. 00t
worth of whiskey each year to dry
counties.
2,E That If they had to depend
-..,.aa Tho local business it WonM not
pay to license two saioons oS ~
the nine.
3d-That these nine saloons are
preferable to the blind tigers that
would spring up id their absence.
4th-That Canton cannot do
without these saloons; that it is
her only source Of revenue and
that without the saloon it would go
bankrupt, or words to that effect.
This is the argument of an able
man who represents the saloons
and whose argument is endorsed
by their organ at Canton, and COM
ing from such q respectable source,
we are forced to analyze and con-
slider it For the sake of argument
we will admit the writer's prem
ises. We will not scontroyert his
statistics.
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
WORTH OF wHIsKEY
is sold to dry counties by the nine
saloons of Canton, besides what is
sold in Madison county.
Now, not to exaggerate, let us
throw in the amount sold in Madi-
son county and call it all together

looms at Canton, 1t

FIREMAN SAVED
FROM AWFUL DEATH
Man Given Up For Dead Rescued
Alive From Burned Building.
VAS UNDER TONS OF DEBRIS

New York, Jan. 8. - After being
buried alive under tons of debris for
over "a hours, Fireman John Seutert
was rescued from the ruins Of a fire
that destroyed Hills paper warehouse
on Roosevelt street Sunday night. Seu-
fert will live, although he is very weak
and his right leg is badly injured.
The search for the three fremen
who went down with the ruins when
Hills paper warehouse was burned
was suddenly halted as the sound OF
some one rapping on timber from
within the debris was distinctly heard.
For nearly "a hours, with brief re-
spite the firemen had sought the
bodies of their comrades. and at first
they doubted their seuses. AS they
stared at each other a voice from be-
meath the charred pile and recognized
as that of John Seufert was family
heard. Seufert said:
I am alive and so is Campbell. We
can't see anything. The debris is all
about us. Get us out as quick as you
can" Then later: 1T is cold here. l
have to keep kicking my legs to keep
warm"
The men were caught among the
timbers about midway between the
second and third floors when the three
upper floors of the five-stOry structure
went down. The third man, Thomas
Lennon, apparently was instantly
killed. His body was located after
hours of digging, At that time it was
not believed possible that the other
two men had survived their injuries.
AS quickly as possible after Seu-
fert's voice was heard an ambulance,
with Dr. Beuwkes. was called from
the Hudson Street hospital rubber
tube three feet long and half an inch
in diameter. with a funnel arrange
ment at one end such as is used in tae
hospitals as a stomach pump, was in
troduced into a hole in the debris,
which the workers made, arI lowered
so that Seufert could apply his mouth
to it. Through this he was given a
stimulant and afterward two cups OF
strong hot coffee. After receiving the
stimulant Seufert said he felt better
and could await with patience until
his rescuers got him out.
Father Rafferty,, of st. James
church. and Father Smith, the fire de-
partment chaplain, were called to the
building soon after Seufert's voice was
heard. Through the tube Father Smith
heard the buried fireman make his aci
of contrition, according to the rites Of
the Catholic church, of which Seuferi
is a member, and gave him absolution
Fire Commissioner Lantry appeared
at the building and also had talH
with the fireman. He called down tc
Seufert, and the buried man said;
ooh, is it you, Mr.. Commissioner
I feel as if I had been down mere about
five years"
"Are you hurt?" asked the commits
sioner.
mo" said seufert, 81 don't think so
but l feel cold and hungry"

With a sheer drop of 210 feet, which
is fifty feet greater than the height of

stand second among the great cata-
racts Of the new world
The region is one of plunging waters.
Within a length of fifteen miles the
Snake river leaps down series of
giant steps until it has dropped clean

Shoshone falls form the highest of
these leaps. -Four miles above them are
Twin falls. divided by great. cleaving
promontory Of rock.
Eleven miles from Shoshone is an
other drop, of 139 feet this time, called
Augur falls. A hundred miles below
are Swan falls. and SO it goes.
The cataracts are not the only natu-
raj wonders of this region. The canyons
are comparable only to the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado. In places they are
even deeper than the great chasm far
ther south.
Years ago Bancroft said of this part
of the country. Taken altogether. it is
the most grand. wonderful, romantic
and mysterious part of the domain in
closed within the federal Union"
At one time the cataract region was
set apart by the government as ma
tional park, but the act providing for
it has been repealed. The enormous
water power is to be used for irriga-
ton.
Perhaps the beauty of the falls will
suffer, but $50 square miles of sand
and sagebrush in one tract alone will
give place to rich harvests, and the
Jack rabbits will move out in favor of
million human beings who can find
homes there.

six hose teams over thirty miles of
crowded hills. Much of this equipment
was lowered by ropes over the precipi-

The tunnel was blasted out, piece by
piece. from the top down. the reverse
of the method employed in making the
great Niagara tunnel. The interior was
then concerted smoothly, so that it
forms a circular shaft fourteen feet in
diameter, piercing the solid rock at an
angle of forty-five degrees.
Already the knell of sagebrush and
lack rabbits has struck in Snake river
valley. April 1, 1905, the water was
turned on 10000 acres near Shoshone
falls. One hundred days later the reap
ers were at work gathering in the first
crop.
The soil of these valleys is of vol
canic ash and will produce sixty bush
els of wheat to the acre, or. if you
prefer it. apples which bring 81 bush
