TAFT AND CANNON
TO DISCUSS TARIFF
President-eIect and Speaker Ar
range For Conference Today.

Washington, Dec. =. = President.
elect Taft expects to have an inter.
view today with Speaker Cannon. IN
view of Mr. Taft's announced deter.
mination that the forthcoming re-
vision of the tariff shall be a thor
ough work and that the promises of
the party shall be specifically per-
formed with reference thereto, the
interview between Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Cannon is of particular interest.
The concurrence of opinion be.
tween the two men on this question,
which has come about by the hereto
fore announced positiveness of the
president-elect, has led to an unoff1-
cial and impersonal understanding
that both gentlemen hold similar
views on this subject.
Should this understanding prove
correct, through the test Of a per-
sonal interview, it may be conceded
without doubt that Mr.. Taft feels as
sured that his ideas respecting the
tariff and other legislative promises
in the platform will receive no hos
tile opposition from the Republican
organization of the house of the Six
ty-frst congress.

MIGHT BE BETTER EMPLOYED
Suggestion That Large Fund Be
Raised by Sale of London's
Disused Churches.

A century ago there were 100
churches within "the square mile" Of
London city. Now there are little
more than half that number. 1t has
been suggested that. 80 of these
should be demolished and the funds
thus liberated employed in church
work elsewhere. The site. of All Hal
lows, in Lombard street, is said to be
worth 100000, while that of st.
Michael's, Cornhill, is valued at no
less than three-quarters of million
sterling. st. Peters, Cornhill,
stands on equally valuable ground.
The aggregate site-values of the so
churches which it is proposed should
be incorporated with other parishes
is put down at three and half mill
lions.

GREAT LOSS OF LABOR.

Probably no reader has the least
idea what is the total amount of inn
prisonment to which offenders In
this country are sentenced every
year. The figures are remarkable. In
round numbers $50 people receive
sentences of 1920 years. penal servi-
tude and $4,000 people receive sem
fences of 5000 years. imprison-
ment. That is a total of 10000
years. What dreadful loss this is
to the country! Not only have all
these people to be fed, clothed,
housed, guarded, but they are prac-
tically idle-or, at least, their work
is Of little value. The great ma
jority of them are in the prime of
working life, aged from 20 to Co.

Trouble Ahead For Postal Banks.

Washington, Dec. A thorny
path confronts the postal savings
bank bill in spite of the fact that it's
passage is advocated in the Republi-
