j. j. Hill Attacks Bank Guarant!
Plan and Legislation Generally.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 25.-A COM
munication from James ]. Hill and an
address by Prof. James Lawrence
features of the Nebraska bankers
listened to the addresses. This after
noon reports of committees and
resolutions were considered.
Mr.. Hill declared the bank
guaranty scheme the latest financial
fad. He asserted that for several
years the railroad business had been
the object of incessant attack.
Concerning recent legislation he
said:

waters a seed or shoot and then digs
it up every morning to see if it grows.
Every session of every legislative
body cripples or overturns some
legitimate industry by applying to it
a brand new collection of regulations;
some perhaps wholesome, many
merely mischievously annoying and
still others destructive. Before they

TIGER CANDIDATES ARE OUT.
Roper and Mccormick Take Charge of
the Princeton Squad.

Princeton. N. J., Sept. 25.-Coach
William Roper and Jim Mccormick,
last years star full back, took charge
of the squad of football candidates on
university field. The regular first call
for candidates has been issued, but
about two-score players have been
limbering up in preparation for the
coming season, and it was with these
that the coaches spent most of their
time.
Steve McClave, a star tiger half back
of the '9Os, was out in uniform. The
squad was divided up and particular
attention was paid to the handling of
the ball in the forward pass. Cunning
ham and Pfeiffer, strong competitors
for half back, were in the back field.
Bredemus, who recently won the ma
tionaI all-arouud dichampionship at the
A. A. U. meet, was out
MacFadyen, the heavy guard was
the only "P'' man in the squad, but to-
morrow every one of the regulars is
expected to report. together with a
large number of other candidates from
the three upper classes.

TAFT AS A MIXER.
He Substitutes HandshaIxing for Rear
Platform Speeches.

Muscatine, Ia, Sept. 25.-Taft, the
mixer, instead of Taft, the orator, is
the reputation the Republican presi-
Dental candidate left behind him as
he fitted from town to town in Iowa
today. With the handicap of an i'm
paired voice, the Ohioan showed his
resourcefulness by campaigning with
his hands, and the repartee with those
who eagerly took advantage of every
possible opportunity to make his ac-
qEaintance. At Davenport, where
there was half hour delay for want
of a heavier engine on the Rock Island
road, the candidate entertained. from
the back platform. you're going to
get into the presidents chair all right,
Bill" cried a lusty voice.
"I believe it, came the quick re-
sponse. But I'm not so sure there
are not a few tacks in that chair. -
Then there was a rush of outstretch-
ed hands for a shake and the judge
leaned over the brass rail of the plat
form and busted himself with both
hands at once. An old veteran caught
Me Taft's eye and held up one
finger. 81 am going to vote for Bill,
but there is one thing 1 don't like. You
part your hair in the middle"
HE is getting old and bald" inter-
jected Major Lacey, who was enjoying
the fun. land he can't part it any
"You talk to me about getting old at
your age?'' retorted Judge Taft.
I'm a young man." insisted the
major.
you fought with Perry at the bat
tie of Lake Erie" was the reply, land
now you are running for the senate, -
Pathos was brought into the little
scene when an old man with many ap-
pearanceS of i'll health faltered up
on the arm of his son, young man.
"Mr. Taft" he said, "this will be
my last vote, but here's another to
take my place."
There were tears in the eyes of the
candidate as he extended his best
wishes for the welfare of the old man.
The Taft special was really a band
wagon in Iowa, in the sense that both
Governor Cummins and Major Lacey,
opposing candidates for the United
States senate, were aboard all day,
each losing no opportunity to give sup
port to the Taft campaign.

TAFT ON THE TARIFF.
He Says Republican Revision Will Be
on Proper Lines.

on PROPER Lines.
Milwaukee, Sept. 25.-Last night VIM.
H. Taft delivered himself of his ideas
regarding the tariff before an audience
in the Hippodrome in this city. After
a review of the whole question in an
extended manner he made this positive
declaration on the subject:
Mr. Bryan is concerned because he
thinks the Republican party is unable
to carry out it's promise of revising the
tariff. He says that the protected in
terests are so necessary to the success
of the Republican party that this will
control it and prevent a revision on
proper lines, and that there has been
no indication that the revision may not
be upward rather than downward.
I'm answer 1 can say that the party
is pledged to a genuine revision, and as
the temporary head of that party. and
president of the United States if it be
successful in November I expect to use
all the influence that 1 have by calling
Immediately a special session and by
recommendation to congress TO secure
a genuine and honest revision of the
tariff in accordance with the principle
of protection laid down in the platform
based upon the examination of appro-
pirate evidence and impartial as be-
tween the consumer and the manufac-
turer
Il don't for a moment dispute that
the protected manufacturers will make
any efforts as they ought, to maintain
tariff at such a rate as will secure
them in their business, and that in this
matter they will be interested parties;
but there is also a large element in the
Republican party representing the con-
sumer through whom the demand for
a revision of the tariff on conservative
protective lines to reduce excessive
rates has crystallized into the definite
pledge to revise the tariff

Was Once Husband of Actress Who
Still Bears His Name.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Leslie Carter, one
time capitalist and president of the
South Side Elevated railroad company
of Chicago. died in this city today after
a prolonged illness.
Mr. Carter has not been active IN
business for some years. He suffered
a stroke of paralysis few years ago
and recently his system became poison
ed from the fumes of gas which, pre-
sumably by accident, had escaped into
his room. A few months ago he was
declared mentally incapable OF caring
for his estate and a conservator was
appointed.
The decedent was a lawyer but de-
voted himself chiefly to commercial
pursuits. He was interested in many
civic and financial organizations, both
in Chicago and New York. The pres
emf Mrs. Leslie Carter Payne was up to
the time of their divorce some 10 years
ago the wife of Mr.. Carter.
