TAFT ON TARIFF AND TRUSTS
(Chicago Journal. Ind. Rep.)

Chicago Journal Ind. Rep)
Mr.. Taft's long speech of acceptance
was distinctly disappointing with refer
ence to the tariff, which is. the important
issue of this campaign.
After stating the time-worn protective
doctrine, that a tariff should be imposed
great enough to equal the difference be-
tween production abroad and at home.
and to give a reasonable profit to the
American producer. Mr.. Taft says that
the Dingley law in number of schedules
exceeds that difference. The excess, he
adds serves no useful purpose, but Of
fers a temptation to those who would
monopolize the production and sale OF
such articles in this country, TO profit by
the excessive rate.
So far. Mr. Taft speaks fairly. But he
spoils the effect of what has gone before
by adding that there are other sche-
dulles in which the tariff Is not sufficient
ly high TO give the measure OF protection
which they should receive upon Repub-
lican principles. and as TO those the tariff
should be raised.
This IS a dangerous doctrine Not even
the greedy eastern trusts that have prof
tied most from robber schedules of the
Dingley bill have ventured to declare that
the tariff is too low and should be in
creased.
This will come as a shock to the people,
whose idea of the tariff is that IT is a
device to enable trusts to rob them. and
who have seen trust magnates accumu-
late vast fortunes at the expense OF the
general public.
Will Mr.. Taft's statement not lead to
public belief that when the Republican
convention declared for tariff revision.
not saying whether 1t should be revi-
sion down or revision up, the ambiguity
was Intentional: Will 1t not add to pub
lie apprehension that II Republican grand
dukes in control of congress. are allowed
to remain in power they will increase in
stead of lessen the opportunities for trust
robbery?
The suspicion Mr.. Taft has created will

INSIDE THE WOOD-PILE.

President Roosevelt, in a statement
issued tonight. made it clear that the
entire responsibility was his for the is
suance of the original order discharg-
ing the battalion of negro soldiers for
alleged participation in the Browns
Vile rioting and the refusal to permit
suspension of that order"
That is the statement from Oyster
Bay ELECTED by the possibility of losing
the colored brothers vote in Ohio. In
addition to the presidents kindly as
sumption of responsibility TO relieve
Taft. comes statement from General
Corbin, who says, IF the Brownsville
affair is to be paraded in the cam
paiSn, any credit or blame i'm that mat
ter cannot be laid to Mr.. Taft"
Why not?
Suppose the president does assume
the responsibility, does that relieve Mr..
tart OF participation in an injustice
done through his department and in
his name? Didn't he say he thought
the president had done exactly right >
Wouldn't a right-minded man have re-
signed his place as secretary of war if
he thought the order of discharge was
unjust? And has Taft ever suggested
directly or indirectly. that he thought
the negroes were treated unfairly? On
the contrary. hasn't he done his best
TO punish Foraker for daring to oues
ton the presidents action in the
Brownsville affair?
The truth is that the presidents
biundering. arbitrary method of han
ding the Brownsville business is bear
ing fruit II seemed all right when he
was backed UP by the senate and had
piiloried Foraker; things were all Sc
rene when the Ohio delegation went for
Taft at Chicago and 1t seemed likely
that Foraker would be wiped out In his
own state. Now. however, a change
has appeared; the colored vote is
against Taft and the colored vote in
Ohio can determine the fate of the Re-
publican party.

Of providing breathing places for a

may be justly called the City of Parks.
Favored by nature in the matter of
climate. located at the foot of the
mountains In magnificent valley.
surrounded by mining camps whose
annual output amounts to many mill
lions. with railroad facilities increas-
ing every year, and with the spirit of
enterprise filling the breasts of her
citizens, the population of Salt Lake is
certain to double in a comparatively
short space OF time. and additional
parks will be needed.
We have Liberty park, Pioneer
square and the beautiful and well kept
grounds surrounding the city and
county building. and a just pride is
taken in all three. Ensign Peak park
would be an important and welcome
addition. Water for irrigation can be
obtained without cost save the ex-
penGiture OF a small amount for pip

CITY COUNTERS ON,
{ BANKS PROPOSAL
WILL ACCEPT PERSONAL BOND
If INTEREST RATE ON DE.
POSTS is RAISED.

That the city should have a trifie
the better OF a good bargain is the
argument made by the sinking fund
commission 10 one OF the banks which
acts as depositary for the city money.
The Old Detroit National bank has
asked the city for permission TO
change It's bond from a surety COM
pany document to personal bond
signed by all the directors OF the
bank. The reason given is that the
surety company have raised tho pre-.
MUM from IA TO l2 per cent on such
bonds.
When the proposal came before the
sinking fund commission, Aid. Paul c.
Renaud moved that It be accepted
with the proviso that the bank give
the city IA per cent more interest on
city deposits. All the other members
of the commission were agreeable
and. this is the counter offer that will
be made.
The bank at present pays per
cent interest and its premium has
amounted TO $3.50 per year on a
bond OF $4,000. The premium would
be raised TO $4,000 under the new
rate and the city's Increased interest
would amount TO between $1,000 and

TO IA per cent.

WANTS GUARD
FOR JUVENILES
JUDGE RotsNERT SAYS YOUNG
STEERS IN DETENTION ROOM
REQUIRE WATCHING.

A guard for the new detention room
just fitted up In the county building
for offenders from the juvenile court
was demanded OF Auditor Buhrer, by
Judge Rohnert Saturday morning
III the auditors won't appoint such
a man. will take other steps to get
one," the Judge remarked at the close
Of his talk. He said that at times
there were boys who had to be locked
up over night, and they couldn't be
left alone. At other times there were
half dozen bad boys In the room.
and the judge said he considered H.
unsafe and unwise to- have these boys
plotting together. To the judge. Au-
ditor Buhrer promised to take the
matter up with his colleagues.
Discussing the matter, Auditor
Buhrer expressed his opinion Of the
judges request quite freely.
81 cannot see the use OF such an
Official he said. There are never
more than three or four boys in the
rooms at one time, and to keep man
there all the time as Judge Rohnert
seems to want will mean the employ
ment OF three more men by the year.
Imagine the expense at the county
for every three OF four prisoners to
keep them from talking. That Is all
guard could do with those boys.
They can't escape, and they can't do
any harm to anyone"

MOTHER S0bS WHEN
CHILD TURNSFROM
HER To UNCLE
LITTLE IRENE CONNOLLY ELECTS
IN COURT NOT TO LIVE WITH
PARENT PRIEST FIGURES IN
CASE.

Mrs. Margaret Wallace, OF No. l66
Congress-st. east. was denied posses
sion of her daughter. Irene, aged Is.
by Judge Donovan, Saturday morning.
after the little girl had told the judge
in his private room that she would
rather live with her uncle. Andrew
Connolly. In Fairview. The girls
wishes were respected and she LEFT
the court In charge OF her uncle. while
her mother, shaking with sobs. left
the court by another exit, and started
toward home alone.
Mrs. Wallace was left widow
when Irene was q baby. and being I'M
able to care for her child. she gave
the little girl to her grandmother.
Margaret Connolly, mother OF Mrs.
Wallace's first husband. The grand
mother died Friday. and the mother
at once commenced proceedings to get
the child back. Edward Connolly. a
son, refused to give her up. and Mrs.
Wallace secured writ OF habeas
corpus.
The Connollys claim that Mrs. Wal
lace Is not the proper person to have
the care of q child. They testified
that she drinks. and Is living with d
man to whom she Is not legally mar
ried. Mrs. Wallace admitted that she
was never divorced from her first hus'
band. but said she was told that after
she had been deserted for Ave years
she was free to marry again without
a divorce. Judge Donovan had few
caustic remarks to make about the
person giving her such advice.
Fr. Doherty. OF st. Bartholomew
church, made a plea for the child, and
asked that she be placed under his
charge In the House OF the Good
Shepherd He said that he had prom
ised before God that he would have
the child brought up a Catholic. and
he wished to carry out that promise.
The uncle to whom the child was
awarded is a Catholic. but his wife is
a Protestant This request OF FIR.
Doherty was opposed by the attOr-
ney for Mrs. Wallace. who claimed
that the question OF religion could
make no difference with the court,
and that only the child's welfare
should be considered.
At the conclusion OF the hearing
the child's mother approached FIR.
Doherty. and. shaking her fist In his
face, said: This Is all your work,
sir, and 1t is done only for Spite" The
priest turned and left her without
replying
