TAFT BACK ON THE White HOUSE JOB

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10
The last and longest of the. little
journeys of big president has just
been finished President Taft is
back at the white house on the job
again. It's going to be a hard win
ter for him, for he weighs in the
neighborhood of 275 pounds now,
or nearly so pounds more than be-
fore he started for swing around
the western banquet belt.
With banquets to right of him,
banquets to. left of him, toastmas-
tiers in front of him and walters be-
hind him, the president has felt
rather tagged out.
Here is where Professors (for-
merly the Rev. Charles E. Barker
steps into the limelight. For the
next few weeks the Rev. Professor
Barker will be buster than Captain
the Honorable Archibald Willing
ham Clavering de Graffenried Butt,
Taft's military aid.
Professor Barker is Tafts Bill
Muldoon. He's a little man, and
that's where the pity of it comes
in. He is matter of great mo-
ment to the nation, too, for he will
be the personal custodian of the
president for at least an hour each
day.
His office is in the white house,
where he will put on the gloves,
wrestle, swing Indian clubs and
throw the medicine ball with Taft
in the early morning hours until
the president feels himself again.
There are two things that his
office will NOT have One is I'M
curtaincd windows, the other is
the heavy cut glass chandeliers
which the big reception rooms Of
the mansion contain. Medicine
balls and cut glass chandeliers

An Intangible value" in other words
is hot air and water or other liquid
nourishment of corporations.
And finally the bill provides under
Sec. 81 that the private corporation
need not come under this law unless It
wants to.
"The provisions of this act are not
intended to apply to or to effect, and
shall not apply to, nor effect in any
manner the rights of any owner Or
operator of any public utility as Sc
cured to any such owner by any char
ter, etc." until the operator of any
public utility shall accept the provis-
ions of this act"
In brief this act provides for per-
petual franchises without any strings
to them; for almost any rates that the
private companies may desire: for per-
mission to evade taxation; to wreck
municipal ownership: to form legal
conspiracies and trusts under no limit
ations, and finally to give them power
to use the law or not as it may be
to their convenience after having CIV
en- them the right to break franchises
and contracts at their own sweet

Poor owen Kildare Of New York,
'the Bowery kipling," as his friends
call him. has been sent to sanftarium
a nervous wreck.
Kildares career reads like fiction.
At thirty years of age he could not
read the simplest sentences. Eight
years later he was h successful news
paper man and author.
The immediate cause of Kiidare's
breakdown was the failure Of his play,
"The Regeneration This play was
drama ized from Kildares book, MY
Mamie Rose" which told the story OF
his life and regeneration.
Arnold DAILY. the manager, made
many changes in adapting the play to
the stage against the serious protests
of Kildare, who predicted the failure.
And now the author and playwright
is on the verge Of insanity.
Born in typical east side tenement

The English house Of lords has new.

Queensberry had sworn that ladies'

Palladium Bureau,

indianapolis, Feb. is.

Indianapolis, Rep. 10.
There is grave danger that. the Gar
rard bill to repeal the uniform system
of school books may pass the legisla-
ture, and throw open the floodgates OF
graft and corruption that existed in
former years when each county made
its own selection of school books
There is the strongest lobby behind
this bill that has ever been seen in
this state during a session of the legis
lature. The brewers lobby is as no
thing compared to it. The school
book lobby is made up of a score OF
more of the most trusted agents of the
school books combine and the most
able of the combines manipulators
They are men who have been trained
to do the work that they are now do
ing here and they know how to dc
anything that is necessary to be done
to pass the bill. They have. all the
money that can be used, as the school
book lobby always has. None of these
men ever go about the state house
They stay at the hotels and the men
who wish to do business with them sc
to the hotels to do it.
Mccaslin Heads Lobby.
T. A. McCaslin of Cleveland, law.
yer. is the head of the lobby, the mar
who directs the fight for the school
book combine, by which it hopes te
rape the peoples pocketbook. He has
room 732 at the Claypool hotel, and
close to his room is that of Charles
T. Brown, also of Cleveland, who is in
the Cleveland city directory as the
agent of the American School Book
company. -e.
Under the able direction of these
men the school book lobby is work
ing. The work is being done quietly
and under cover and it is the most
dangerous kind Of work, for it is as
foe that strikes in the dark.
Garrard Its Sponsor.
This lobby proposes by the bill
which, strange to say, has been intro
duced by Representative Garrard OF
Vincennes, the democratic floor lead
err, to takesout CT the hands of the
state board OF education the authority
to select text books for the schools OF
the state and place that power in the
hands of a commission in each county
This county commission would consist
of county superintendent appointed
by the township trustees, and two
members of different political parties
appointed by the county superintend
ent. This commission would then Sc
lect and adopt the books for the
schools of that county, and the people
who have children attending schoo
would be obliged to pay for the books
whatever price the school book com
nanieS might see fit to ask for them.

When you have a scratch on your

The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin. For statis-

ferers are perfectly healthy in all
other ways except as to their skin,
And if the eczema patients were really
suffering from an internal malady, the
entire body and not only the skin
