HAS TAFT kept PROMISES?
Presidents Attitude on
Tariff Now Compared
With His Campaign
Promises = He Talked
Then of Revision Down

BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June Ia.
Did President Taft promise to
use his Influence to secure tariff
revision downward Just what
he did say in his letters and ad-
dresses during the republican
campaign Is set down in the fol-
lowing extracts:
At Bath. Me-, Sept. 5, 1906, he
said: Speaking my individual
opinion and for no one else, / be-
lieve that since the passage of
the Dingley bill there has been a
change in the business condi-
tions of the country, making 1t
wise and just to revise the sched-
ules of the existing tariff. The
sentiment in favor of REVISION
OF THE TARIFF is growing in
the republican party, and in the
near future the members of the
party will doubtless be able to
agree on reasonable plan.
How soon the feeling in favor
of REVISION shall crystalize in
to action cannot be foretold, BUT
1T is CERTAIN TO COME, and
with 1t those schedules of the
tariff which have inequalities and
are EXCESSIVE will be readjuts-
led. The reasonable prospect of a
revision of the tariff by the repub-
lican party on conservative lines
should certainly be greatly pre-
ferred by those who favor revision
and yet believe in the protective
system, to legislation which is al
ways threatened by the incoming
of a democratic congress and
democratic administration under
the battle cry, A protective tariff
lis robbery of the many for the
benefit of the few and to the
disaster to general business which
inevitably follows:
On Feb. 10, 1908, when the
question of the nomination for the
presidency was being discussed,
Taft said:
''In the 10 years which have
Ielapsed since the enactment of the
Dingley tariff, the conditions have
$50 changed as. to make A NUM-
BER of the schedules under that
tariff TOO HIGH and SOME too
low. This renders 1t necessary to
re-examine the schedules, in or
der that the tariff shall be placed
on a purely protective basis. BY
that l mean 1t should properly

OISMISSES THE
MURDER CHARGES
States Attorney Nolle Presses
the Indictment Against
DR.. Cora Reed.
EVIDENCE is Insufficient
Explanation Is Made Regarding Mrs
LundhOlm's Dying Statement
About Alleged Operation.

When the circuit court was conven-

Explained that the state was relying
chiefly upon the dying statement of
Mrs. Lundholm for a conviction. Mr..
in order that dying statement might
nc admissible, it would be necessary
10 show that it was made at time
when the person who made it was in
his last extremity, and conscious of the
TACT that he was at the point of death.
From the evidence in this case, Mr.
Magill stated Mrs. LundhOlm did not
Lelieve she was about to die, even af-
ter she made the statement in ques-
lion. Mr.. Magill said that Axel Lund-
holm, the woman's husband, would so
testify. He stated that the other evil
dence would be insufficient for con-
vlctiOn, and the court would be COM
PEELED to allow a motion to dismiss Il
the close of the states case, and the
trial would probably cost the county

As there is no time limit for the be-
ginning of proceedings on a murder
