PRESIDENT TAFT is JUST NOW
IN AN INEVITABLE PO-
SlTION ON TARIFF.
Cannot Desert Ring of Politicians Whc
Stood BY Him in Campaign and

WASHINGTAN, ID. c., May g.
Especial Washington Correspondence
That it is only a MATTER of time I'M
til President Taft will be forced by
public opinion to withdraw his sup
port and cooperation from the Aldrich-
Dalzell-CannOn faction of his party-a
step of such political magnitude as
would discourage the most courageous
is the conviction that appears to be
growing on close observers.
If he does not, take such action his
real friends are beginning to fear that
the anti-prOtection sentiment of the
country which seems to be gradually
closing in on the ring of politicians of
the Aldrich type, will injure the presi-
dent politically; at least, in all sec
tons of the country, save possibly the
New England states.
The signs of the times are unmistak-
able to those willing to acknowledge
that such thing as a change in SEN
timent is possible. So far there has
been little effort to cenSure President
Taft for the Ubiquitous tariff bills The
fire on the best element of the re-

frightening a certain percentage of
workingmen into voting the republican
ticket.
The big industries which supported
the republican ticket expected to be
paid for their assistance, and for their
monster campaign funds, through high
tariff rates on the commodities In
which they deal. The protection wall
which keeps out competition and gives
them practically a monopoly on their
particular wares, is held up by Aid
rich and his owOrkers in congress. III
President Taft intercedes and uses MS
powerful resources as president to de-
throne the tariff czars, the tariff wall
will be dropped. So the protected in
terests are in a position to object with
some show of reason to the carrying
out of the will of popular sentiment,
which is Enthusiastically demanding a
revision downward.
Therefore the thing the president is
asked to do is a grave political step.
He is asked to drive the Aldrich fol-
lowing out of the party, or at least to
take from this faction the power to
dictate the kind of tariff law that shall
be PASSED. The ring of tariff schem-
ers is in control of the republican par
ty 1t has an organization of known
value, built up by years of tariff log
rolling The progressive element from
a political standpoint is still in its in
fancy. 1t is of an unknown quantity.
To give up a certainty for an uncer-

to do.

can press. Use your influence for 1t
reduction of the tax on the necessities
of life."
stick with u.s." say the protection
wall politicians. BE game! Don't mix
with the reformers!"
Within a month, when the tariff bill
lies before him for his signature, the
president will be in a position where
he will have to respond to one of the
two voices.
If he refuses to sign the Aldrich bill
the protected interests will condemn
him for having deserted the protection
policy of the republican party, and for
having failed to make good pre-elec
ton arrangements. Re- nomination
would be impossible.
If the president signs the bill the
element of his party will
charge that he is dominated by the pro-
tected interests, and that he failed to
make good his prediction promises
of revision downward. Reelection
would then be impossible.

WHITE SLAVERS HIKE
FROM CHICAGO CITY
AS a Result of Federal Prosecutions,
They Leave the Windy Town and
Go to Other Middle West
Cities.

CHICAGO, May 6.-(SpeciaN-F'r
cities adjacent to Chicago come re-
ports that the dealers in white
slaves" particularly dealers in immi-
grant girls, have fled from Chicago as
a result of federal prosecutions and
have taken up new headquarters in st.
Louis, ST. Paul, Milwaukee and others
of the larger cities. From st. Louis
comes this report:
Until recently this city was more or
less free from the operations of these
ruthless dealers in the souls of women
but within the past year Chicago mas
cleaned out several bands of the men,
and they have found roosting place in
st. Louis. 1t is only by the cleverest
sort of work that they are located
They fit from place to place. and, with
the aid of confederates and their crafty
cunning, avoid detection. The women
whom they have sold into slavery rarely
inform upon them. The poor creatures
are menaced with threats, and when
taken in charge by officials of the gov
eminent or the police, refuse to tell
even the name of their seducers, mucn
less aid the agents in ferreting them
out"
The recent enactment in Minnesota
of the three statutes recommended by
the committee on legislation appointed
by the Chicago magazine "Woman's
World" will enable the authorities in
cities of that state to drive the white
slavers out. Requests have been re-
ceived from New York and South
Carolina within a week for copies of
the Illinois white slave bills which are
considered models for the purpose The
committee has received letters of in
curry and approval concerning the pro-
posed national league to continue the
campaign against the white slave traf-
fic which indicate cordial cooperation
by local clubs, associations and lodges

Status of WoolIen Goods.

NEW YORK, May 6.-That there is
betterment in the call for wool goods
is not doubted, but the demand is be-
ing exaggerated. 1t is not being felt
by the majority of the mills. The
largest producers have stated right
along that there was an improvement
in the wool suiting trade, and it is
Well-knOWn that the sale of OvercOat-
ings was exceptionally good. But the
reports from most mills is that with
the exception of a few numbers bust
ness on the woollen end is not up to
expectations. There are several indi-
cations. however which tend to show
that woollen goods will be in strong
demand when the next heavy weight
season is ushered in. Very little is
expected to develop during the spring
season in wool goods, although some
sellers pretend to see an opening in
consequence of the high prices that
prevail on Worsteds, is is not con-
sidered advantageous to the woollen
manufacturers as there will be very
large quantity of manipulated worst
eds offered to fill the gap between sc
and $1.15 a yard.
