CITIZENS PLEASED
AT TAFT ATTITUDE

Washington Congratulates Itself on
Pleasant Relations With White

Give the President a chance TO work

much now,s seems to .be the attitude
Of more than one business man of
washington following the banquet 20
the Chief Executive. at which he an
nounced his deep interest in the affairs
OF the District and his faith in its
future
II the banquet should accomplish
nothing else. it is suggested. it has
brought nearer together the people OF
Washington and the General Govern
ment Of the nation. This interchange
OF confidence will stop needless agita-
ton until President Taft can reach
some decision as to what he should
recommend to Congress.
Regardless of the different views OF
individuals, whether they be for one
man rule or for the commission plan,
for suffrage, or for continued disfran-
chisement, washington continues to
congratulate itself that the present oc-
cupant Of the White House has inter
ested himself as never before in Dis
trict affairs. and has merely asked a
little time in which to study them.
This. as expressed by J. ii. Small.
president of the Board OF Trade. Is
what washington can well afford to
extend, and he is in favor OF giving
the Chief Executive an opportunity 70
work out the problem without inter-
ference. Other views expressed by
representative Washington men today

Justice Staffords speech was = mag
niicent grafton; a scholarly plea for
what he termed a restoration OF the
liberties OF the people Of washington.
The fact. however. that the same ap-
rlause which greeted Justice Stafford
was also accorded the President upon
the expression or his views, which, In
some instances. were directly opposed
10 those Of the eminent jurist in my
opinion. was the result or the President
having convinced many Of his hearers
that his position with respect 10 the
question OF suffrage was the right one.
The principal feature Of Justice Stat
ford's speech was that the citizens of
Washington are dependent because they
are not represented by members In
Congress. IL is only partly true how
ever, that they are not represented.
Many or them go 10 their respective
states 10 vote They are ruled not BY
Government. They are IN partnership

worid-Jncle Sam. They are not 10 be

opinion, his administration will be

RACCOGNI, Oct. 23.-Nicholas. Car of

rejoicing was spontaneous and genuine.
From early dawn, the scene in this

At the railroad station on the Ital

by King Victor Emanuel, Premier Clio

Thousands of persons gathered about

To LECTURE
ON GEOLOGY
Professor Watson Of East
Ely Will Conduct Ten
Week Winter Course

Beginning on the evening of Novem-
Der 5th a course of lectures in elemen-
tary geology will be given in the East
Ely nigh school by Professor c.. F.
Watson. In these lectures Mr.. Watson
will bring out the essential fact and
principles underlying the formation of
the common rocks and minerals that
constitute the earth's crust. He will
show how the rocks of the earth's
crust have been folded Lnd faulted up
into mountain ranges and broad plat
eaus and how these mountains and
plateaus have been dissected and worn
away by the processes of weathering,
and the high regions reduced again to
low plains.
The object of the whole course is to
put those who take 1t in possession of
enough geology to recongnize the for
ces and processes that are now at work
within the earth and on it's surface.
and to interpret with a fair degree of
accuracy their results.
Professor Watson is a graduate of
the university of Chicago, where he
specialized in gology. Since gradnat-
ing from there he has been acting
professor of geology in Drury college,
Springfield, Mo. The course will con-
sist of ten lectures, one to be given
each week. Among the subjects to be
treated are the following:
The origin ana descent of rocks.
The great structural features of
rock formations.
The processes of weathering.
The work of underground water.
Movements and deformations of the
earths body.
The origin of ores.
Structural geology as applied to ore
deposits.
Comparison of other great copper
districts with that of Ely.
Those wishing to attend the course
may make arrangements to do so by
seeing Mr. Plate at the Steptoe hotel
or Professor Watson at 1913 II avenue.

The supply of copper at the present
time is enough to fill the demand but
the demand is bound to be greater next
year, and the price consequently will
go higher. Copper is the last thing
that is called for an construction opera
tions. The demand for steel and iron
and all kinds of building material has
increased, and as copper is the last
metal to be used in building operations
it has not been called for yet, but its
time is close at hand. There is also

COTTON Mill ARE ORDERED CL0SED DOWN
TO PREVENT SURPLUS AND LOWER PRICE
Rumor Says That
Order u1ilL Be
Made General

RALEIGH, Oct. 23.-The board of
governors of the American Textile as
sociation today ordered all the big cot
ton mills of North and South Carolina
closed down Immediately for a period
of from fourteen to thirty days, in
order to curtail t.ie manufacture of
cotton and prevent the accumulation
of a threatened surplus which would
operate to bring about a decline in the
market.
Replies received to the order this
evening indicate that all of the mills
followed the action advised. EN-
ployes, it is gathered from the dis
patches, accepted the order with salts
faction and expressions of purpose to
sustain the manufacturers.
1t is not known at the present time
whether the board of governors will
extend their order to other states. Ru-
NOR to that effect has been current to-
day, but is unconfirmed, members of
the board having declined to make
any statement. The impression is that
the rumors are correct and that next
week will see every cotton mill in the
association in the country closed down
tight.

HOUSTON, Oct. 23.-Upon arriving
here this morning, President Taft was
given a military salute. He was
driven at once to the Rice hotel, where
throng that had assembled from all
over this portion of Texas
After a. motor car ride about the city
the president left for Dallas, where he
witnessed a parade this afternoon and
delivered another short address, fol-
lowing which he became the guest of
prominent citizens at a banquet
In his address the president re-
announced himself as an advocate or
deep waterways, when such projects
can be shown to be practicable, and de-
clared the piecemeal progression by
jerks" policy of congress in the past
with reference to such improvement
should be replaced with definite plan.
The president said that in addition
to extending commerce deep inland
waterways would serve to control
railroad rates Meanwhile, he urged
the amendment of the interstate COM
merce laws to make their provisions
more effective.
The president added, however, he
did not favor radical legislation that
he proposed merely to keep railroad
companies within bounds. He said
the railroads should be encouraged.
In some localities, he said there was
q; disposition to do injustice to the
railroads and to drive them to sys-
tenn of economy which prevents he
development of the country through
which they pass.
The president said citizens would
go to any extent to get railroad to
come into the country, but once there,
not friend of the railroad could be
found anywhere. except perhaps the
local council. The president urged
a square deal' for the railroads, that
they might not be deprived of reason
able profits through popular prejudice.
Charging that the halting and spor-
adic system of river and harbor i'm
provements in the past was the work
of the committee in congress, who
had responded to clamor from home
and to party considerations, the presi-
dent said the time had come for a
change in this system. nine foot
inter coastal canal was one of the
projects to which the president refer
red to as part of definite system of
waterways improvement.
