This Attention on the Store's Umbrella
Man Not for Carriage People Only.
8. The common idea OF the umbrella
man found In rainy weather stationed
on the sidewalk In front of many
stores large and small, is that he is
there to look after carriage customers
and shelter them, and such no doubt
is the primary purpose OF his employ.

It IS TO be supposed that IL his duty

over the carriage rider. but whenever
opport rtunity offers he affords the won.

TARIFF BILL MAY
RUN ALL SUMMER

Washington, D. g, Dec. 1o.-That
Taft foresees possibility OF pro-
longation through the entire SUM
.ner Of the proposed extra session Of
congress to revise the tariff, was de-
veloped today when he refused to ac-
5cept an invitation to attend the next
session Of the Trans Mississippi con-
gress which is to be held In Dem
yer on the 10th to the 21sts Of August.
The invitation was extended during
the afternoon by the executive CONS
mittee of the congress and followed
an elaborate lunch given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Walsh in honor of the occasion.

BLEAcHED FLOUR.

AS we understand the decision of
the secretary of agriculture in the
bleadhed flour case, the bleaching pro-
cess is held to be harmful and is for
hidden by the secretary, and after six
months from the time of the decision
flour that is bleached will not be per-
mitted as a pant of Interstate com
merce, thus preventing its shipment
from one state to antoher, This dis a
highly important decision, perhaps
the most imp portant that has been rem
dered under the pure food law. Com
missioner Ladd of this state has been
especially active in opposing the
bleaching process, and the sale of
flour that is bleaehed. Bleaching at
the present time is practiced by the
great majority of the mills. The flour
is passed through am electrical flash,
which Whitens it and aages" it. The
millers have claimed that the flour
thus bleached was not harmful and
that the nitrites present, due to the
bleaching process, were not sufficient
to do harm. It has also been claimed
that the trade demanded the peculiar
whiteness that comes from the
bleaching.
The decision of the secretary OF ag-
riculture, II it proves to be final, will
prevent the employment of the
bleaching process altogether. This de-
cision, Of course, covers only inter-
state commerce, but will probably be
suppl plemented with a decision in this
state preventing the sale of the
bleached flour. The whole decision
will mean a readjustment of the flour
trade and the abandonment of the
electrical bleaching process which is
in general use.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

president Roosevelt has sent his
last message to congress. 1t is long.
document, and characteristic of the
president. In many particulars it is
not so earnest on vehement as some
of the messages previously dispatched
to congress by the president. AT the.
same time it deals with matters that
have long been dear TO the presi-
dents heart, the proper regulation of
great corporations, the amendment of
trust laws 50 that evils may be less
ened and legitimate business not
harmed, the passage of laws that
shall improve the standard and consii-
tion of labor, and the helping along
OF the moral uplifta with which the
president has been so vigorously and
earnestly concerned.
There is no question but the presi-
dent has made a lasting impression
upon the life of the nation, both as a.
statesman and a moralist. He has
pointed out the evils that have arisen
through the race for great wealth.
and through taking advantage OF
ioopholes in the laws of the nation.
He has put under the ban customs
that grew up with the great business
OF the country. He has striven to en-
act legislation for the benefit Of all
the people, irrespective of wealth or
class, and to remove special privilege
and advantage. He has been gener
oisly praised and roundly criticized.
And vet the people have indorsed the
Roosevelt policies as they have
come come to be known, and have elected a
president pledged to carry on and p,lt
INTO practical execution the standards
set BY President Roosevelt
The present session Of congress
win be what is known as the short
session, and 1t is not likely that many.
OF the major reforms sought by the
president viii be carried to cornpIe-
ton before the time for adjournment
IN March The greater part Of the
work will remain to be done when
President Taft is inaugurated and
ealls congress IN special session. The
recomne ations of President Roose-
Welt however, will not be unheeded,
and the new congress, we may be-
sure, will find President Taft urging
the same wise amendments Of exist-
ing laws and enactment of new ones.

The same old story comes from
Minneapol olisthe benevolent old North
Dakota stockman who started out for
Heidelberg, or. some other German
city, to see the folks across the water
and show them a few thousand of the
dollars taken out of the soil and grass
of North Dakota-the friend who
ran across the benevolent traveller in
the wicked city and interested him
SO much that they became quite
chummy-then the express package
consigned to the friend. that was in
the express Office awaiting the pay
unent of charges. which were reported
by the second friend with the cap
and the words express agent on the
peak of 1.-THE wallet brought out by
the stockman who offered to lend the
first friend the necessary $1O0 until a
check was cashed-the grip contain
ing several thousand dollars in money
and securities temporarily held while
the stockman found his wallet the
substitution Of the dummy grip and
the disappearance of the swindlers.
The benevolent stockman says he lost
$1,000 aside from the hundred he
loaned the friend, 3 The police say
the benevolent stockman lost only
$105. At any rate, it proves that
travellers en- route for Heidelberg with.
large sums OF money should fight shy
of newly found acquaintances, and re-
frain from lending money to get ex-
press packages out OF the office.
