striking out all but the first two sec.

ing all but the first two sections of the
senate bill, introduced by Senator
Frank Clague of Lam5erton.
The two bills were very similar in
their provisions in the main, although
there were some differences in some
of the sections. The principal differ
| ence between the bills was that the
house bill provided that the money re-
| ceived from this tax should go to the
state, while the senate bill gives it to
the county. The tax is so cents per
| 500 of the amount of the mortgage,
| which is to be paid when the instru-
ment is registered. Mortgages upon
which the tax is not paid will not be
considered valid.

Living Person Typifles the Spirit Of
the Roosevelt administration.
Cincinnati, April Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, who has returned
home from Washington, in an inter-
view declared himself in favor of the
nomination of Secretary Taft as the
Republican candidate for president.
He said that his opinion was personal
and that he spoke only for himself,
but that he believed that Taft, in the
eyes of the people, typif1ed the Roose-
welt administration. Mr.. Longworth
said: r.
"Since it has been announced that
Secretary, of War William H. Taft has
been a candidate it seems to me that
the sole question involved is whether
or not the Republicans of Ohio will
endorse him for the presidency. Sec
rotary Taft being candidate for pres
ident and no other Office cannot see
how any other Offices are involved.
"Personally, and speaking only for
myself, am for Taft for president.
The great question before the people
in the next presidential election will
be, in my opinion, the ii
Approval or DisapprovaI -.
of Republican policies as registered
by the legislative and xecutive
branches of this government for the
past eight years under the administra-
ton Of President Roosevelt.
1T seems to me that after the pres
ident himself there is no living man
who so thoroughly typifies in the eyes
of the people the spirit of the Roose-
welt administration as William H.
Taft. There is no one who can be bet
ter trusted to carry out many Of the
great reforms which will be necessar-
lily incomplete upon the retirement of
President Roosevelt March 4, 1909, as
William H. Taft. His whole life since
he became Of age has been devoted to
the public service. His whole record
has been without speck; his charac-
ter without a flaw; his ability as
jurtst and as administrative officer
have been so distinguishing to have
already placed him in the rank of the
very great men of the history of this
country.
"Ohio, more than any other state, is
known as the mother of presidents
believe that the time is at hand when
she may become the mother of another
president, for I firmly believe that if
the Republicans of Ohio stand by
William H. Taft he can be nominated
and elected"

the Standard Oil company did not
knowingly and wilfully" accept un-
lawful rates from the Chicago and
Alton railroad.
THE question as presented to my
mind" said Judge Lands in making
his ruling, ''shows that the defense
may make any showing Of facts to ex-
cuse the shipper, it being shown that
the defendant applied to the carrier

that the 6-cent rate was lawful"

PLENTY TO SELL
YET ON MARKET
No Movement of Buyers To Any
Large Extent Is To Be
Noted.
lBy Frank ]. Graft


The condition Of today's market
shows that there are still consider
able sellers in the market and that
there was a desire TO unload stocks
rather than to buy and at the close
most stocks sold off closing at about
the low price of the day. New York
stocks suffered considerable as well
as the Boston coppers Calumet &
Arizona was bid up to $4,000,
but this fails to locate any
stock, very little being offered. Greene
Cananea at the close showed weak
ness, closing at $500. Superior &
Pittsburg opened firm. but towad the
close there was considerable offered
at 1912. Shattuck-Arizona continues
to be in good demand at $1,000, but
very little is offered. Denn-Arizona is
well supportd at $500 with few
shares offered at S3.25 Tight money
prevailed in the Eastern market and
at this time money is in demand at
20 per cent, but closed at so which
goes to show that there is still consid-
cradle trading. AS a rule the public
is again getting into the market, and
see no better time than the present
to buy stocks for a hold. Conserya-
tive buyers are doing this locally as
well as in the east and putting their
securities away and not expecting to
realize any handsome profits within
the next so or so days.
