Fast Liverpool, o., March Is
Mayor Crawford made the city cell
ebrate a near Puritan Sunday yes
terday, as he promised, but he ordered
that no arrests be made for Sabbath
breaking. AS a result OF that order
today is the busy day OF the East
Liverpool police department.
last night the members OF the
ministerial association were argry at
Crawford. They say he tried to
make them Idd.culous by extending
the blue Sunday order to everything
in the city because they asked him
to cloge the tobacco and candy stores.
The mayor Is saying nothing
Warrants are ready 10 be served
today for the arrest OF more than 100
persons on the charge OF working
for pay on Sunday Eighty-four OF
them are employees of the street car
Tines. Whether the men who took
their names were paid for their work
is point which probably win come
UP should the cases reach count.
The question CT where to draw the
line was the general topic OF discus
sion all day Crawford announced
that when the tobacco stores were
closed and the sale OF Sunday Tapers
stcpped paid singers and organists in
the churches would have TO quit
work. He did not openly say that
the preachers themselves stood in
danger by appearing in their pulpits
but his friends who had to support
him against all sorts of ATTACKS, said
At for him frequently enough. The
ministers say there's no sense to that
argument,
All in all 1t was lovely day.
lHouskeepers got up this morning and
slipped out the back door to see

ROOSEVELT VS. TAFT EFT Al.

Ut will not be long until the extra
session OF congress will be down to
bushes. II may be killing time to
prevent any tariff legislation and II
may be grinding away on revision
bill. 1t all depends upon which side
Is victorious in the battle against
Speaker Cannon. If Cannon and
the old set OF rules is in force, then
there is every likelihood that time
will be killed. IT, on the other
hand, Cannon and his bunch is oust-
ed and new set of rules is estab-
lished, there is some likelihood that
the tariff revisionists will be able TO
accomplish something.
President Taft declared that he
desired congress to spend its time
during the extra session in consider
ing the tariff, but the discovery Of
the depleted condition OF the treasury
resulting from the extravagances of
the last administration and the
wholesale expenditures Of congress
in recent years, will necessitate some
attention being iven this subject. OF
course, it all comes nnder the work
of the ways and means committee, so
that bettgF progress may be made
than would be possible If two COM
mittees were 10 be dealt with The
members of the committee will be
able 10 compromise on some things
/ nOrder to avoid a clash on Others.
One OF the most important things
which must be determined during the
present session is whether or not the
old organization shall have control,
and whether the old rules shall be in
force. The overthrow OF both may
mean some real legislation during the
session, but II is hardly possible that
much can be accomplished under
the old regime. OF course, the in
surgents may show sufficient strength
10 scare the regulars into giving them
some show, even though they are un-
successful in the present fight. On
one side OF the fight is found Presi-
dent Taft. whale on the other side
Gix-President Roosevelt Is giving his
support. II is rather strange that in
his first contest after the change of
administration the man who was
elected to carry out the policies of
Roosevelt should be found opposed TO
hdm The future alone can tell how
many of Rosevelt's policies are TO be
abandoned and whether Taft will
snake his campaign for re-election on

Washington. Oct 21.-Drastic meas
ures. including the exclusion of the
impoTtaions from any country IN
justly discriminating against this
country might be found necessary by
tie president il the event it will be
regarded necessary to adopt retalia-
tory tariff measures against France.
While no official information of the
intention OF France to operate maxi
mum tariff against this country upon
the termination on October 81 of the
commercial agreement officials admit
that there is danger OF the two coun-
tries, for time at least, applying the
maximum rates against each other
The result to both countries would be
extremely harmful, The tariff act
empowers the president, in case Amer
lean goods are unjustly Disseminated
against by any country, to absolutely
prohibit the Importation from that
country of any article he sees fit to
name.
Should the French maximum rate he
applied, the tariff on our expectations
to that country of canned meats would
be Increased 80 1-3 per cent. fresh
table fruits, 100 to 800 per cent; man

per cent; lard. go per cent; the
