TARIFF i MAKING X

SO They SAY. 7
The White House
Dinner Didn't
End III

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. July 22.-The
White House dinner and conference.
at which tariff confcrees and the
Presidents closest advisers were
brought together last night, in the ef-
fort TO settle differences regarding the
tariff bill. ended at 80 o'clock. with
the disputes over raw materials Ito
nearer adjustment than they were be-
fore the dinner Invitations were iG-
sued.
Only one question was determined
beyond appeal and that was tnnt the
confereps will have 10 settle their own
differences. Pains were taken, how
over, to convey the impression that
this decision Is not Indicative OF any
absence of appreciation OF the Presi-
dents efforts. 1t merely confirmed
what the "elher statesmen" hnd as
serted from the tirst-that tariff maxi
ing Is trading. and The shrewdest deal
er and the strongest section Is bound
10 get the best OF the argument. Tint
this trnism Is responsible for the in
surgent movements In the House and
Senate and party revnlts i'm middle
western States does not alter the sit
uatinn.
Briefly stated. the representatives
of the House and Senate practically
admitted that they were unable 10
forecast the outcome. Senator AID
rlcil spoke for the Senate and Speaker
Cannon and Representative Wright.
the Republican whip" for the House.
Mr.. Wright spoke of the insnrgent
movement organized by the anti
free-rnw-material" faction III the
House. hut lie was not ready yet 10
estimate the strength OF this element.
Representative Payne expressed the
opinion that conference report carry
ing free iron ore. coal. hides and oil
could be adopted I'm the House. but lie
said that fle had not canvassed the
situation.
Senator Aldrfch Positive.
Senator Allrich was very positive in
the opinion thnt such n report would
fail I'm the Senate. but he thought there
could be reductions made in the Sem
ate rates. with perhaps iron ore and
oil transferred to the free list, with
out endlngerinE Its adoption.
Apparently the president realized
that tine time had not yet arrived to
call for decision on the subject ol
raw materials.
The customs court and the corporal.
ton tax amendments were discussed
at length. Most of those present
agreed with President Taft that the
clIytons court should be situated III
Washington.
Some of the conferees said after the
dinner that no conference report
would be signed until both houses hal
baen canvassed to the probability of
It's being adopted. No one can say
now much this will delay adjourn
meut of the tariff session.

ferces ON t1le tariff bill and to several
Of his cloyest advisers. probably will
be written down In history rs one Of
the most significant events or pure

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District OF New York
sitting in New York City--has Just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, It is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
+ wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages Of liver pills OF
the style described in the bill OF COM
plant; said right having been ac-
CURED by the prior adoption OF said
style and color Of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use Of the same In constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision Just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing Of all, by reason Of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

sometimes take on a very Materials.
tic hue does not alter their effective.
ness, In her opinion.
One day she went into the Office Of
a well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.

The attorney looked up and smiled.

As 70 the Hessian Ely.

The Hessian fly is a German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. ut is a long, rangy
fly with a bite like a steel trap, and 1t
lays a pale blue. oblong egg at the
rate Of 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to a glass inkwell, but it's
favorite dish Is the double neck Of a
fat gent. This bird a perform a
two-step on sticky fly paper without
crooking its toes. and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of Its whiskers. If 1t ever fas-
tens upon your jowl. 1t will stay until
removed by the undertaker.-Man-
