Desired
(By Associated Press)

w ASHINGTON, July 19,-All the
w Republican members of the
tariff conference committee have
been invited by President Taft to take
dinner with him Wednesday night at
the White House. 1t is assumed the
president expects to be ready to report
progress in getting votes Tor the ADOLF
tion or reduction OF duties on raw ma
terials.
When Speaker Cannon left Senator
Aldrichs room tonight he said the con-
ferees must frame the program Ior
passing the conference report, and the
representatives would have to assume
responsibility for their actions.
There was no indication of lack Of
understanding. between the leaders OF
the senate and the house. The speaker
talked freely with the newspaper men
about every subject except that which
they desired to hear him discuss.
Many of the progressivists como
from states interested in cattle raising,
and they oppose free hides, or even a
reduction In the duty.
Wool Duties Should De Reduced
Senators Bristow and Cummins ex-
pressed the opinion the president should
bring his influence to bear in move
ment looking to reductions In the duties
on wool and woolen goods, cotton goods
and other articles WHICH eltSlou AANN
wearing apparel.
Senator Borah declared If the free
raw material program was adopted
some of the western senators would be
afraid to go home and could not eX-
pect to continue holding their positions.
Mr.. Borah is authority for a report
there Is in process of organization a
combination of senators VINO VIII De
pledged to support the conference re-
port if it provides for free coal and free
hides.
1t was persistently reported today
that the president would not be salts
fed with free iron and oil, and re-
duced duties on coal. hides and lumber.
No one suggested the possibility OF a
veto In the conflicting views or the
presidents position exchanged at the
capitol today.
Among the older congressman 1t was
predicted the president would demand
every concession possible to OBTAIN
without endangering the adoption or
the report.
Today the conferees devoted their at
tention mainly to the revised corpora
tion tax provision which was adopted.
An effort was made today TO dispose or
the wood pulp and print paper schedule.
The retaliatory provision concerning
pulp wood was rewritten, and 1t Is now
believed 1t will prove satisfactory 10

The duty on print paper is still IN
controversy.

BLEACHED FLOUR.

The following article on "Bleached
Flour was written for the Topeka
Capital by man who spent his life
in the milling business and who is in
a position to explain this question. His
article follows:
What is this bleaching of flour Of
which we hear SO much Of late? The
art of bleaching has been in vogue
for centuries and is now practiced in
every department of domestic
economy, but as generally understood,
when applied to -four, it is a misnom-
err. The natural color of pure wheat

cording to the quality and variety Of
the wheat, when grown, and time har-
vested. as well as care in milling. The
yellowish coloring matter Is most prev
alent in the new wheat. but gradually
becomes less as the wheat cures out
with age. This is true also of the -four

ing exposed to light and air for sever

called aging the flour. This yellow
color is also more or less removed in

Bailey fights the general idea of pro.
lection, but insists that as others get
protection-that is, are allowed to tax
the masses for the benefit Of few.
his few constituents who can receive
the benefits of protection shall have
their share of the graft. Bryan pro-
poses to fight the Republican party
by attacking its protective principles.
and would plant the Democratic party
squarely in opposition to their princi-
pies. This seems the logical course to
pursue, and we believe it would win in
the end The Democratic party can
never have any real influence while
straddling the issue. The Bailey idea
OF spotted protection will only serve
to keep the Republican party, backed
by the great protected interests, in
power, while those interests continue
to rob the masses and add daily to
the cost of living.

THE WATERWAY RESOLUTIONS

The resolutions adopted at the wat
erways convention in New Orleans are
direct and forceful. They declare it
to be the firm conviction of the con-
vention that the federal government
should, and shall without needless de-
lays, enter upon a definite policy and
plan of waterway development, begin
ming with the Improvement of the
Mississippi and Illinois rivers, as the
main trunk of great waterways sys-
TEN in such manner as to open effeu-
tive navigation between the gulf of
Mexico on the south and the great
lakes on the north; such main trunk
developed without disparagement OF
and with constant reference to the
concurrent effective development Of
the tributaries, the other great rivers
of the country and their tributaries,
the lakes, bays, bayous and sounds of
all sections of the country
The resolutions declare the develop
ment Of our waterways must be under
taken as an investment rather than o
succession "of piecemeal experiments .
and the plan of issuing bonds is APP
proved and Endorsed. The delegates
showed they were in earnest by pledg-
ing their personal honor to support 10
candidate for public Office who will not
unqualifiedly endorse and maintain u
vigorous policy of waterway improve
ment.

ly when thoroughly kneaded; the more
the dough is kneaded the more air is
introduced and the whittier the bread,
a fact we'll known by professional bak-
ers. But what is the objection to the
cream color or why try to make It
white? Simply the demand of the con-
sumner for white bread, so that the
miller who can offer the whitest -four
captures the trade. To this end, for
more than thirty years scientists, as
well as millers, have been trying to
discover a method to produce this
"aging" process without the loss of
the time required by nature, but not
electricity have their efforts been sue
cessful Several years ago machine
was invented, which, by the intermit-
tent discharge of electricity through
the -four, caused a combination to take
place between part of the nitrogen
and oxygen, the chief constituents Of
air, which resulted in what is called
nitrogen peroxide; this is what is
claimed to be deleterious, but as there
is found of these nitrites but four
tenths Of one part in one million and
even this infinite quality disappears in
the baking, the claim is absurd.
There is a prevalent impression that
bleaching is an endeavor to deceive
by making flour appear to be a higher
grade than it actually is. The fact is
that only the higher grades Of flour
can be successfully bleached. If the
lower grades are bleached the fiber
particles are darkened and made
more apparent, as bleaching acts only
on the yellow coloring matter, but
will not remove any impurities, so that
a flour not carefully milled will show
impurities more plainly after than be-
fore bleaching, the whittier color maxi
ing the contrast more noticeable
hence no good miller will attempt to
bleach the cheaper grades.
row lhF-eryeaTtohla cmfwyshrcmfwy
The onl yadvantage obtained by the
miller in the process is that he Is en-
abled to furnish his customers flour
absolutely uniform in color without
maintaining large storage capacity,
while the consumer obtains -four
which makes a whittier and better
bread without any additional cost.
Having been demonstrated by leading
chemists that there is nothing harm
full in bleaching flour, and clearly
shown that there is no deception or
fraud in the practice, there can be no
valid reason for the prohibition of
bleaching. ]. B. King.
