PRESIDENT vEToEs BILL.
Roosevelt Tells Congress Power Il
Worth Money.


Washington, April 14.-Using an un-
desirable bill as vehicle, the presi-
dent yesterday transmitted to the
house a few closely written pages COM
posing message in elaboration OF the
policy laid down in his message OF
March % on the subject Of the grant
ing of water power rights by the gov
ernment.
In vetoing Representative Bede's bill
to extend the time for the construction
of a dam across the Rainy river in
Minnesota, President Roosevelt gave
to congress a tip on how water power
measures are to be prepared if they are
to obtain his approval.
There are bills pending in congress
at the present time for the granting
of river rights and water power to In
dividuals and corporations sufficient to
produce 100000 horse power, accord
ing to the presidents method OF hgur-
ing.
It would take 30,0oO,000 tons Of coal
to produce this much power. There Is
no use giving away 30,0O000O tons OF
! coal; therefore, why give away 100000
horse power?

by DR.. S. Adolphus Knopf. The prize
was given by the international Cong
ress to Combat Tuberculosis as a Dis
ease of the Masses" which convened
in Berlin a few years ago. The essay
makes a pamphlet of 104 pages. 1t is
considered one of the best documents
on the subject that there is printed
from an authoritative author and is
filed with suggestions on the home
treatment of tuberculosis; by the open

cd the state of Iowa has adopted and
is using at the sanitarium at Iowa
City and advising the afflicted to use
it at their own homes.
Governor Cummins has designated
April "a as Arbor Day, to be observed
by the public schools of Iowa. Inc
proclamation in conformity with the
provisions of law are being sent out
to the school teachers by State Super
intendent John F. Riggs. incidentally
Professor Riggs is endeavoring to get
the school teachers of Iowa to use Ar
bor Day for something more than
merely the planting of tree each
year.
The very best suggestions to be had
on beautifying school grounds by pro-
yiding for trees in clusters as an
adornment to the grounds are being
circulated. Pictures showing the ap-
pearance Of school grounds before
adorned with trees and shrubs and at
ter so adorned are circulated to show
the teachers the difference and the de-
STABILITY of making the change and
planting trees School directors are
addressed on the subject and their in
terest secured.
1t is a notorious fact that many OF
the school yards of Iowa are a dis
grace to the state They are barren of
either tree, shrub or grass and should
a person come upon such a school
ward apart from the surrounding land
scape or see a picture of it alone, he
might readily suspect that it was To-
Gated in some desert, or arid region
where water is scarce and trees and
shrubs will not grow instead of in the
grandest and most fertile state the sun
ever shown on.
For many years Arbor Day in the
schools has been merely a sort of va
cation for the school in which one little
runty tree is planted ard some child
speaks "Woodman Spare That Tree"
Now Professor Riggs is seeking to
impress on the patrons of the school
that with little work and no money
a school yard can be made source
Of pride to the neighborhood and an
attractive place for the children.

Washington. April 14.-As result
of the weeks republican conventions
and primaries in various states the
opposition to Secretary Taft now has
a total Of $50 delegates to the Chicago
convention, while Taft has 234 con-
ceded to him, all that are claimed by
his supporters. This makes a grand
total of 4S4 delegates elected to the
Chicago convention. which includes the
sixty-four delegates chosen in Penn
sylvania yesterday, all of which are
conceded to Senator Knox A state
ment given out here by the press bu-
reau OF the "allies" comedies only 116
instructed delegates to Taft but this
fails to take into account many dele
gates who are admitted to be for the
secretary of war, tho not instructed. AS
practically all the "favorite SON. states
have now chosen their delegates to
Chicago. and some states that are
counted for Taft will hold their con-
ventions this week. 1t is probable the
war secretary at present will be main
tanned only few days. 1t is prob
able that by next Saturday night the
Taft column will once more total more

the argument in favor of the re-enlist-
ment Of colored soldiers of the TWen-
ty-fifth regiment of United States in

aker in the senate today. He prefaced
his remarks by saying the purpose OF
the investigation had not been to en-
barrass the president or any body else,
and not to make capital, political or
otherwise, for or against any body.
Seldom, if ever, in it's history has the
capitol contained as many nergroes as
thronged the corridors and crowded it's
galleries today. They were attracted
there by the announcement of For
akers speech in defense of the negro
oldiers who We're discharged by the
president on account of the Browns
willie riot. Long before the senate
opened every seat in the galleries had
been taken and the corridors contained
almost enough people to refill the gal
leries The utmost good order pre-
vailed.

how the state department has been and
is now being appealed to to interfere

to congress to pass the measures that
he has recommended for strengthening
both the army and navy, contending
that IF we desire to avoid insult. we

to secure peace, one of the most pow
