In the presidents message to con

are made by Theodore Roosevelt:

under the control of the government,
and the sovereignty of the national
government established.
Laws concerning corporations
should not be negative, but affirma
tive.
The interstate commerce commits
sion should have it's power extended
to pass upon future issue of railroad

these combinations, not to prevent
them.

banks that the notes will be driven
out of circulation when not absolutely

The present tariff laws should be
retained, and an effort 10 change

tons
An inheritance and income tax
should be part of the system. of gov.

BUT NONE WANTED THE DUCK

Mystery ShrOuded the Transaction
Of a Country Fair Takir.
At the old settlers reunion at Elma.
Mo-, recently there was an operator
along the avenue Of booths they called
the "duck man." says the Kansas City
Star. The duck man. manipulated a
wheel with numbers running from one
to eight. Then there were nice. smooth
little paddles numbered similarity. It
cost 10 cents to hold q paddle while
the wheel spun round; and when It
stopped. If your paddle had the num-
Der at which the indicator pointed, you
got the duck. That Is what the sign
in front said. And live duck was
there in a small cage. where everybody
could see it.
The law Of the land Is not Intoler-
ant when it comes to giving souvenirs
as prizes for skill and especially when
meek, domesticated bird is the offer
ing. Prosecuting Attorney Durham
came up from Macon to make a speech
and to shake hands with his constitu-
ents. While here, Of course, he viewed
the elephant. They told him every
thing was nice and orderly and that
1t would be waste Of good time for
any one to try to sell gold bricks to
that crowd.
The prosecutor casually promenaded
by the spangled man who swallowed
swords, glanced at the beautiful snake
sharmer. the Albino queen from st.
Louis and the wild man from Kansas
City. But no besitated before the
'duck man." who appeared to be pros
pering. He saw eight hungry men put
up 10 cents apiece for the chance at q
duck dinner. But the winner, after a
few whispered words with the duck
man." went away without his duck.
Still he didn't appear mad about 1t.
Another whirl Of the wheel. and an
other lucky man left, but without the
feathered prize. Mr.. Durham was puz-
zled. Maybe the duck was glued to its
cage. The third winner he accosted.
"Wouldn't he let you have your
duck ?" he asked.
The man grinned.

The prosecutor bought paddle and
adversely came. He tried it again
with a ditto result. Next time he hit
the bull's-eye.
If you'd rather have the money
here's a half-dollar," said the dealer.
''Why, that's gambling!" gasped the
attorney.
well. then, take your duck"
The prosecutor sent an officer to ar
rest the duck man." who made this
explanation to the justice:
I'VE wasn't playing for anything but
ducks. Early this morning I sent
around to every farmhouse in these
parts and bought up all the ducks they
had, but even then we run short, and
so l had to tell the boys that won that
I'd give 'em half dollar apiece as Sc
curlty till We got another supply Of
ducks. Wen have some more in the
morning and then they'll come and get
the ducks and hand the money back"
policeman deposed that ducks were
worth 1914 cents apiece hereabouts and
that the duck mans" solitary bird had
been on duty the whole week. The de-
PENDANT paid fine Of $25 and quite a
would remit the fine If the winners
came back after their ducks.

ing such appropriation should receive
more than fixed amount from private
contributors, these amounts and their
expenditures to be made public.
In reference to law enforcement
the president points out that whereas
few years ago loud complaint was
made that the law could not be in
voked against wealthy offenders there
is no such complaint now. He com.
mends the department Of justice for
it's prompt procedure against wealthy
malefactors as well as criminals of
other classes. But stronger and more
definite laws are urged, especially +,

offenders, instead of filming them.
Briefly summarized, the president
recommends other legislation as fol-

WHITE HOUSE VIEWS
OPPOSED IN SENATE
OLD GUARD WILL NOT STAND FOR
LODGES AMENDMENT BECAUSE
OF DETERMINATION TO DEFEAT
ROOSEVELT.

Washington, January 7.-(Speeial)-
President Roosevelt has been defeated in
the Senate on the preliminary stage of
the Brownsville affair This does not
mean that the Presidents course in dis
charging the negro troops is in any parti-
cular danger of censure but simply that
general antipathy TO the White House oc-
cupant makes improbable the passage of
the Lodge amendment. Today the Lodge
amendment would have been beaten by
that of Senator Foraker. There is no diff
ference between the two except that one
is from the White House and the other
from an anti White House source. The
matter would not be worth commenting
ON were 1t not for bitterness exhibited
by the two factions.
The anti-Roosevelt senators demonstrate
ed that they are in the majority on the
Brownsville affair, they are in the saddle
and so flushed with victory that they will
not permit any amendment to be adopted
which bears the name OF a White House
senator, even though 1t Is entirely salts
factory to them otherwise.
Even Senator Lodge was convinced of
the Qeledt OF the administration lltii dllA
stood from under. He hurriedly took down
the amendment so valiently offered on
Thursday, eliminating all reference to the
legal and constitutional authority for the
Presidents action in discharging the
troops, then he and Foraker sprang up
with two amendments almost alike. Lodge
got his in, but although it was as like
the one Foraker wanted to offer, as one
pea is like another, and it is perfectly
satisfactory to the old guard they will
not stand for 1t. because it was offered
by Lodge and because its passage might
leave some doubt about the Presidents
defeat.
Senator Crane of Massachusetts, Lodges
own colleague, engineered the deal The
result may be the passage of another reso-
luton almost identical with that of Lodge
and Foraker. This, it is hoped, will satisfy
both sides At any rate the Lodge amend
ment representing the White House view
cannot command a majority of the SEN

Shelters Decision Reversed.

Washington, January I'm deciding the
case of the American Smelling and Re-
filming company VS.. the people of the state
of Colorado today, the supreme court of
the United States reversed the decision of
the supreme court of Colorado, which
had upheld the validity of a portion of the
revenue laws of Colorado which imposes
tax of cents annually on each $1,000 of
stock of foreign corporations doing bust
ness in the state. The Smelling company
is New Jersey corporation, and as its
capital stock is 100000 900. the tax would
be $4,000 a year. The company had am
tagonized the assessment as a direct props
erty tax, and therefore unconstitutional.
