AS APPROVED BY TAFT.
Anti-Injunction and Tariff PIanks of
Platform.

Chicago, June 16.-The antiinjunc-
tion plank of the platform, as passed
upon in Washington, is as follows:
I'VE declare for such an amend
ment of the statutes of procedure in
the federal courts with respect to the
use of the writ of injunction as will,
on the one hand, prevent the sum-
mary issue of such orders without
proper consideration, and, on the other,
will preserve undiminished the power
of the courts to enforce their process
to the end that justice may be done
at all times and to all parties"
Over this plank there is a very
sharp contest The labor leaders are
urging it's adoption and hundreds of
kilograms are pouring in from manu-
facturers and other employers of labor
opposing the measure. The following
is the tariff revision plank proposed
by the Taft people:
"The Republican party declares un-
equivocally for revision of the tariff
by special session of congress imme.
diately following the work assigned
to the appropriate committees and
commends the steps already taken to
this end in the work assigned to the
committees of the two houses which
are now investigating the operations
and effect of existing schedules.
'In all tariff legislation the true
principle of protection Is best main
tanned by the imposition of such du
ties as will equal the difference be
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with reasonable
profit to American industry, and the
benefits that follow are best secured
by the establishment of maximum and
minimum rqtes to be administered b1

decision was as much In Senator Dol
liver's interest as in the interest OF
the state and the party.
The Allison -Dolliver delegates from
Iowa do not take any more kindly to
the suggestion said to emanate from
the White House at Washington that
Governor Cummins might be NOM
mated for vice president than that
Senator Dolliver might be given the
place, but their reasons are different.
They do not take kindly to the idea
of comforting this honor upon Cum
minis and they say that If nominated
many members of this faction would
on that account refuse to support the
national ticket.

the president under limitations fixed
in the law, the maximum to be avail
able to meet determinations by for
eign countries against American goods
entering their markets and the mini
mum to represent the normal measure
of protection at home; the aim and
purpose of the Republican policy being
not only to preserve, without exces.
sive duties, that security against for
eign competition to which American
manufacturers, farmers and producers
are entitled, but also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage
earners Of this country, who are the
most direct beneficiaries of the pro-
tective system.
Between the United States and the
Philippines we believe in free inter
change of products, with such limita-
tions as to sugar and tobacco as will
avoid injury to domestic interests"

KANSAS CITY FLOOD.
Wholesale District Comprises One
Immense Lake.
CREST PROBABLY REACHED

Rivers Are Now Stationary and II Is
Believed the Water viii Begin to
Recede ShortIy-RaiIroad Tracks
Near Depot Covered.
Kansas City, June 16.-Flood condi-
tions are more serious in Kansas City
than they have yet been since the
present rise of the Kaw and Missouri
rivers began, but both rivers have be-
come stationary and it Is believed
that the water will begin to recede in
fallen in this territory since Saturday
and although weather conditions are
still unsettled there is no immediate
prospect of further precipitation.
The Missouri is holding back the
waters of the Kaw and forming one
vast lake in the district comprised by
Armourdale, Kan, and the wholesale
district in the west bottoms of Kansas
City, Mo. The Kaw river is falling at
Topeka and other points west. Re-
ports from Missouri river points to the
north indicate that the waters are re-
ceding slowly In flooded districts.
The UniCn station is still above the
food level, although in Union avenue
alongside the depot express office the
water is more than foot deep. There
are more than two feet of water In
front of the Blossom House, the most
pretentious hotel in that district, and
the railroad tracks on the west ap-
proach of the Union station are under
water

WILL KEEP OUT OF FIGHT
Taft Men Have No Preference for
Vice President.

Chicago, June 16.-In view of the
continued intimation that the Taft
forces had a preference for the office
of vice president a conference was
held in the rooms of Myron t. Herrick
of Ohio. There were present Messrs.
Henry Taft, Arthur |. Vorys, Frank III.
Hitchcock and other friends of Secre-
tary Taft. After full consideration of
the subject they announced for pub
lication that under no circumstances
would Secretary Taft or any OF his
friends take any part in the contest
for vice president; that they pur-
posed to devote themselves to the
nomination of their candidate and that
they would make no effort whatever
to influence the decision of the con-
vention upon the vice presidency.

DENIED BY THE COURT.
Albert n. Patrick Applies for Writ OF
Habeas Corpus.

New York, June 16.-The applica-
tion of Albert III. Patrick, who is serv-
ing life sentence in Sing Sing prison
for the murder of William Marsh Rice,
an aged Texas millionaire, for a writ
of habeas corpus was denied by Judge
Lacombe in the United States circuit
court. Patrick set up the claim that
his conviction and sentence to death,
which has been commuted to life i'm
prisonment, was result of a con-
spiracy to plumber the Rice millions.
The motive, he asserts, was to prevent
him from enforcing Rice's will, leav-
ing the greater part of the Rice for
tune to him.

Chicago, June 16.-A movement was
sprung among the California delegates
for the nomination of George A.
Knight of San Francisco for vice pres

Chicago, June 16.-Can Speaker
Cannon eliminate the injunction plank
from the Taft platform? This ques-
tion, and the inability of any one to
answer it, presented the platform prob
lem of the day.
The speaker himself is in doubt as
to his ability to erase or even modify
the plank, but this fact only serves as
a stimulus to the efforts he is making.
His active lieutenants in the fight are
the congressional coterie." Argu-
ments against the plank are being
made by many members of congress to
prospective members of the resolu-
tions committee.
What does the plank mean?" is

cold weather.
We hope to have a good fruit
crop this year. Our farmers are
failing to plant oats again this year
and have feed stuff to buy guess.
Early corn will be planted; people
generally prefer planting June corn
in place of oats because the corn
will do to feed on about the same
as oats. Let US try to plant plenty
OF corn this year so we will not
have to buy next year. Let us try
to raise cotton enough to pay our
old debts and try and not make any
new debts. Let us try to have

about raising corn than you ever
dreamed of. Let it not be said of
you when you have the farms in
your hands that your corn cribs
are in another state. You can be
independent by being an intelligent
farmer, but don't get the idea that
farmer needs no education. The
knowledge you receive in school
will train your mind and enable
you to do your thinking so you can
make two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before, and
by informing yourself from good
papers, magazines and books, you
can become able to say to the
world what that extra blade of
grass is worth.
