PRESIDENT TAFT's MESSAGE

PRESIDENT TAFT'S MESSAGE.
The first message of President Taft
to the Congress of the United States or
the necessity of a revision of the tariff
was brief and to the point. He did moi
indulge in pomposity of expression
nor in verbosity of words. What hi
had to say and did state was in the sim
pie style Of language which is always
within the understanding of all the peo-
pie.
In his message he directs attention to
the needs of greater revenue for the
support of the government, and points
out how it may be obtained. While it
may Be true that there has been waste
ful extravaganza in some of the expendi-
lures, it must be borne in mind that it
Is not possible to limit the disbursement
or the expenses Of the government to
the maximum Of the ten years past or of
recent years, as the demands for more
money has increased with the growth of
the Nation.
Through the revision of the tariff it
has been estimated that a revenue of
three hundred million dollars will be
produced from customs, which may be
sufficient to meet all the demands of
the government.
One Of the features of President
Taft's message is the proposed gradu-
ated inheritance tax. There can be Of
Tered no reasonable opposition to such
tax, since the property of the dead
should be as liable to taxation as that
Of the living.
Of the message it may be said that
il st should fail to measure up to the
standard Of the critic fixed on what is
styled documents Of State" it is SEN
aibles practical and businesslike, for
which i should be commended in the
supeflative degree.

The pupils reach the place from their

"oMAHA" BARGAINS FOR LOOT
Operations of u Gate City Man

Gibraltar.

The greatest curio market in Europe is
the free port Of Gibraltar. William Allen
White, the Kansas editor, and seafaring
chum, j. B. Murcheson, known as
Omaha made the rounds OF the souvenir
junk piles. Concerning "Omaha's' deals
the Kansas editor writes:
Omaha" was in his element. For among
the yellow-legged nations of the earth,
bargaining is an intricate science, and
Omaha" was there to take a post-grad-
uate course. a bargain between Omaha"
and a boat-vender of d~rawnwork sounded
like a joint debate between two thrashing
machines. And as Omaha" went up and
down the streets Of the town, haggling and
dickering and Jawing with the populace,
working off the effects of a bad Spanish
imitation of an English luncheon in the
English town, he gradually acquired a
stock of merchandise tina buried him in
its growing bulk. He had Moorish Jaws"
fruit and vegetables from Algiers, Indian
shawls Qor the girls at home), baskets
from somewhere east of Suez, where the
best is like the worst" and drawnwork from
Spain, table covers or bed spreads-which-
ever you want to call EN-" he explained.
Come and visit me, and IN put this
drawnwork cover on you at night and send
the hired girl up and yank it off when
you leave your room and have it on the
bare mahogany table for breakfast-dead
swell, six by eight and all for SIS. The
fellow started at forty with it. and 1

planned Omaha" in the smoking room TO
the men that night, as the ship steamed

Not in Contempt
Missouri Supreme Court Refuses to
Cite it in Three-Cent
Rate Case.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May 29.-The
Missouri supreme court today refused to is
sue a citation for contempt against the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad com
pany, as asked by Judge George H.. Will
liams of the st. Louis circuit court. The
st. Louis j%urist's attorneys had urged that
the road had placed itself in contempt of
court by putting into effect a passenger
rate of 3 cents a mile in violation Of an
injunction issued by Judge Williams,
which injunction is involved in the pro-
hibition suit pending I'm the supreme court.
No formal decision was rendered by the
court today, the action being noted merely
by an endorsement on the application that
it is denied. The railroad application for
an injunction against Judge Williams to
prevent him from continuing TO hear the
case in his court was called in the SUI
preme court Monday.
