Washington, July 17.-President
Taft's emphatic declaration yester-
day that he regarded the republican
platform as meaning and the senti-
ment of the people as demanding a
revision of the tariff downward has
eclipsed in interest all the minor and
specific details of the tariff struggle
here today.
The presidents declaration is re-
garded as a barely concealed threat
upon the part of the president that
if the bill reached him in a form
which he regarded as unfaithful to
the promises of the party and dis
obedient to the sentiment OF the peo-
pie, he will veto it.
Few of the prominent members OF
either house of congress win discuss
the presidents announcement for
publication; bat in confidence many
talked freely and some of the con-
servatives bitterly. saying that the
presidents stand meant the defeat of
the bill. Those less inclined to ex-
citableness said that the presideH
had simply made long-foreseen
move and that it meant the speedy
dissolution to the opposition to a
downward revision and the termina-
tion of the long fight with the bill
which the president wished. The gen
eral feeling was that the president S
pronouncement meant the speedy
settlement of the question.
One of the senatorial conferees
when insured that the president hac
been correct1y reported, said:
The outlook is discouraging, in.
deed While it is not stated that the
president will demand free raw ma
terial such is the tendency, and il
looks to me as If il will be impossi-

A reduction of 25 per cent was also
made in the duty on yarns weighing

The duty on tops was made in ac-

ZELAYA'S SCHEME.

The reported scheme of President
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, to form an al
lance with Japan, by giving them
canal route through his country, will
of course not be seriously considered,
but it follows close on the heels of Mr..
Taft's declaration regarding the Mon
roe Doctrine, and it recalls the fact
that a great many able men thought
that this country made a mistake in
not taking the Nicaragua route when
the Panama canal was started.
The Nicaraguan route was the one
first agitated and doubtless canal
could have been constructed there at
less cost than at Panama, but other
considerations prevailed and the Co
lombian route was selected.
Zelaya is in bad straits and his
bluffs will come thick and fast, but
there will be only one inter-oceanie
canal on the South American isthmus
and that will be the Panama canal un
der control of the United States.

DIR. COOK AGAIN.

DR.. Cook may be a fraud, but there
must be better proof of it than the
aff1davits of the two rascals who
swear that they agreed to accept mon
ey to join in the plot. That DR.. Cook
had any dealings with these self-con-
fessed crooks is bad enough, but we
incline to the very fair and rational
view expressed by the New York Tri-
bune on the subject. 1t says
"A pair of precious scoundrels, af-
f1rming that they were cheated by DR..
Cook, have furnished the New York
Times with long account of their
own elaborate rascality. They de-
clare under oath that they engaged in
a plot to convince DR.. Cook that he
needed their help in concocting rec
ords which would be found sufficient
by the University of Copenhagen to
prove that DR.. Cook discovered the
north pole on April 81, 1908.
According to the tale they tell,
these men, one of them an insurance
broker and the other a master, pilot
confidence and made a bargain with
him to produce what he lacked.
Thereupon the master, pilot and navi-
gator supplied him with lot of nau-
tical literature and diligently forged
for his benefit various observations
and calculations designed to complete
and fortify beyond the possibility OF
disproof DR.. Cooks own meagre and
worthless record of his Arctic travels.
For this work the swindlers were to
country and $1,50O more if the Danes
accepted them as the truth. But Dr.
Cook having failed to pay them, they
thought the next best thing was to
show themselves up as two of the
grefd diest knaves in existence, Incl
deltally proving that DR.. Cook was
noNetter.
"Tlere is no need disputing the
valuation which the insurance broker
and the master, pilot and navigator
we are long way from holding a
brief for DR.. Cook, we must say that
thus far the case is by no means SO
clear against him. He can make any
one of a number of plausible replies
and thereby retain the confidence of
those who still believe in him, at least
until Copenhagen has been heard
from. Our impression is, however
that the insurance broker and the
master, pilot and navigator will find
without much delay that their occu-
pations are gone.''

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-The

unanimously today to report favora-
oily the nomination of Judge Horace
II. Lurton, of Tennessee, to be an as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Some members
OF the committee expressed the opin-
ion that it would have been better to
have named younger man. Judge
Lurton is in his sixty-sixth year. But
there was no general opposition to
him, or any criticism except as to his
age. The report will be made on
Thursday by Senator Bacon.
1t was stated that there may be
some opposition to the confirmation OF
Judge Lurton in the Senate, and il
was thought advisable to let the appo-
sition appear there rather than by
delaying report. 1t was pointed out
that Judge eLurton had had twenty
five years experience on the bench
and the general opinion among mem
bers of the committee was that he
was entitled to the courtesy of prompt
action by the committee.

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 15.-That the

lected Port Arthur for a four days

go, who practically owns that COM
munity. He is scheduled as one of

In selecting a subject for discussion,
Mr.. Gates chose Speculation and
Gambling" and preached against all
such get-rich-quick schemes.
The address was Impressive in
warning the young churchmen to fol-
low the straight and narrow path and
shun gambling in every form, from
dice throwing to speculating with the
markets and dealing in futures.
Mr.. Gates told his audience that
S1OO earned by honest manual labor
was worth more than $4,000 won at
gambling, whether it be at stud poker
or trying to corner the food supply of
he country by dealing in wheat that
had not been planted.

THE Blue AND THE GRAY
Secretary Dickinson Before
The Society of New
York.
Most Interesting Comments on Men of
North and South Who Served
ON "the Other Side"
During the War.

Secretary Dickinson in an address
before the Southern Society of New
York made most interesting comments
upon the men of the North and South
who served on "the other side" dur
ing the war. The Baltimore Sun
says:
''He commented Interestingly upon
the fact that men of Northern birth
achieved distinction as officers in the
Confederate Army. Seventeen briga-
der generals, four major generals
and one lieutenant general who fought
under the flag of the Confederacy
were born in the North. On the other
hand, one of the ablest and bravest
of the generals on the Northern side
was Thomas, a native of Southamp-
ton county, Virginia, whose gallantry
and firmness in battle earned for him
the sobriquet of The Rock of Chicka-
mauga. Farragut, the greatest sea-
fighter Of the North, was born in Ten
nessee. Twelve of the officers com
manding ships in Farragut's feet at
the battle of New Orleans were born
in slaveho1ding states. Kentucky
gave the country Abraham Lincoln
Thus Secretary Dickinson concludes
that there was reciprocity-the North
and South each contributing to the
cause of the other officers who rem
dered valiant and distinguished SER
vice.
But in one respect, and probably
the most important, there was not
reciprocity In the armies of the
North were many thousands of SOL
diers recruited from the Southern
states. Some Of the best fighting ma
terial in the Federal army was drawn
from Southern sources-West Virgin
ia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Con-
federate Military History estimates
that 278,OO0 white men enlisted in the
United States Army from the South
ern and border states. These men of
Southern birth were a tower of
strength to the North. They fought
with steadiness and courage on many
Dattlefelds, and the triumph of the
NOfln was uue ID no SmaH measure
to their valor. The South, weakened
by the loss of these men, could not
draw recruits from the North. 1t was
bottled up and dependent absolutely
upon it's meager resources. Secretary
Dickinson might have added to the
value and Importance of his illuminate
ing address if he had touched upon
this phase of the subject"
