TAFTs MESSAGE.

Taft's message must be disappointing
to the masses. 1t is lacking in the vigor
which characterized Roosevelt's pre-
sentiments to Congress. Perhaps this
tameness may be satisfactory to the
rusts and what is called the predatory
interests of the country. The con-
stmer and the wage Garner are in a
sense igureheads who must pay tribute
to the combines and the infant indus
tries. President Taft is opposed to
tariff tinkering and to congressional in

is advised to not interfere with the
Sugar Trust thieves who have plum

that it is. shsssn9 against them. Ia
other words the President in opposing
any immediate investigation of the New
York custom house scandal, assumes
that such investigation might "by CIV
ing immunity and otherwise, prove an
embarrassment in securing convictions
of the guilty parties.
Among his recommendations are a
ship subsidy to encourage American
shipping, publicity of political conrti-

the usual appropriation bills, leaving
the island without support after June

Porto Ricans have forgotten the
generosity of the United States the
president says, in the desire of Ger

for power and he adds that the pres

with their general condition, for the
conversation went nike this:

"Oh, she's all right"
How did Lucy get on at school?
She must be big girl now"
"Oh. she's all right
Are the boys quite well?"

There was quite a long pause after
this. and then the girl tried again.
However do you sailors manage TO

find it very monotonous. For the first
time the sailor smiled He answered
the earliest part of the question by
shaking his head. "oh, we're all

Imprisonment with a fine of $4,000.
Mrs. Boyle. though crushed by the
weight Of her sentence, made an eff

partly turned away. II is thought
that the woman intended at this time
to make the address which she had
threatened to do, exposing persons
whom she claimed had been connected
with this most sensational kidnapping
but she was not given the chance.
Boyle, too. tried to enter into an
| argument with the court, but he. too,
was not given any eeway and he left
the court house with smile which
the people did not then understand
but they did later
Within three hours James Boyle
under the shadow of prison for the
rest Of his life, had given out public
signed statement upon the kidnapping
of Willie Whitla. In it James Boyle
accuses Harry Forker. brotherin-law
of James p Whitla, father of Willie
Whitla, the kidnapped boy of having
framed the entire plot of kidnaping
and he tells Of a sensational murder
which occurred in Youngstown, Ohio
some years ago, and the convicted
kidnaper alleges in the Statement
that he has for years been blackmail
ing Forker in connection with this
crime.
TO Boyle's charges, both Henri!
Forker and James p. Whitla hay,
made emphatic denials.
