his trip to the Philippines and around
the world In September. The confer
ence with the president possibly will
be more significant politically than
otherwise.
II is regarded as probable that If
President Roosevelt has thought of
any new plan Of eliminating himself
from consideration in connection with
the nomination on the national ticket
a year hence, more absolutely than
through his utteranCe on the night of
election in 1904 he may lay It before
Secretary Taft when they meet. The
secretary will therefore be in posi-
ton to go across the continent on his
speech-making tour with definite
knowledge of how the third term talk
is to be silenced.
Some facts have leaked out within
day or two regarding the character
of the talk which Secretary Taft will
deliver to the people when he opens
his campaign in earnest. First and
foremost in many particulars will be
the address at Columbus. Consider
able data has been supplied relative
to the railroad situation in all its
phases, the deduction therefrom be-
ing that the secretary will declare at
the start a policy in furtherance OF
the Roosevelt principles, which will
be prosecuted at his hands if he is
nominated and elected chief execu-
tive to succeed the present incumbent.

TRADE PROMOTERS ASSOCIATION
Business Men About Ready to Pay
Railroad Fares.

All preliminary details Of the plan
to pay railroad fares to out of town
customers are practically finished.
Nearly every retail merchant of Nor
folk Is now member of the organiza-
tion and no merchant interested in out
OF town can afford to stay out of the
association.
The fact is that when the free fare
proposition is in force after Septem.
Der l, II nonresident gets into a
store which Is not a member of the
association, it is by mistake.
The non-member must then either
lose the trade of the out of town Gus.
toner, or pay the railroad fares direct,
which will cost him four or FIVE times
as much as 1t would by cooperation. {.
The individual advertising of the
association members will be greatly
stimulated, and each advertisement
will carry with it the free fare propo-
sition and 1t is a certainty that the
new influx of trade will be landed by
the association members.
1t really does not matter who gets
this money first, so far as the city Is
concerned.
Merchants neither eat nor wear
money. They turn it loose in the
channels of trade where everybody has
a chance at it.
Here is the Plan in a Nutshell.
Free fare to Norfolk, Neb., and re-
turn will be paid on and after Septem-
Der l, 1907, and until further notice.
The Norfolk Trade Promoters as
sociation invites all persons to come
to the city any time, beginning Sep
TENDER l, 1907, and if he or she makes
purchases to the aggregate amounts
named below, the round trip fare Of
the visitor will be refunded by the as
ISOLATION.
If you live within fifty miles of Nor
folk purchase must amount to $500
or over.
If you live over fifty miles from Nor
folk, and not over 125 miles, purchases
must amount to $4,000 or over.
If you live over 1875 miles from
be paid on a $4,000 purchase, or pur-
chases.
All you have to do to get your fare
paid is:
Get a railroad receipt from your
ticket agent before you start, then
when you arrive in Norfolk, make
your purchases from the merchants
advertising as members of the asso-
citation, whose names will be given
later.
Each of these merchants will give
you credit slip for each purchase.
When you finish your shopping, call
at the Office of the secretary, present
your credit slips showing the amount
of your purchases and the secretary
will refund your fare.
Nearly every human want may be
supplied by the merchants who are
members of the association.

NEW CONSTITUTION.
Senator NIinturn Points Out That
Present Provisions Prevent Build
ing Hudson River Bridge.

TRENTON, Mar. S:-The demo-
Gratis in the legislature are likely to
defeat the republican plan to act IA
vorably at this session on constitu-
tional amendments for the moderni-
zation of the state judiciary, the re-
publicans being desirous of passing
the measure through this Legislature
and the next and submitting them to
a popular vote in the fall of 1908.
The democrats object to patchwork"
tinkering with the constitution and
want new constitution with up to
date provisions.
Senator Minturn, of Hudson coun-
ty, democratic leader in the legis-
lature, says that, among other things
there should be abolished the in
hibition against the state spending
more than 100000 in any one year
for public Improvement This pro-
vision of the present constitution
practically prevents the building of
bridge across the Hudson river be-
tween this state and New York.
