MR.. TAFT AND THE TARIFF
MEASURE.

It Is now very definitely understood
that President Taft is determined TO
veto the tariff bill unless it is decided
~ modified from its present form. He
will not let it become law without his
signature, as Mr.. Cleveland once did.
He viii give silent acquiescence in no
s'perfdy and dishonor" legislation. Mr..
Taft feels that the veto responsibility
Imposed upon the President is imposed
because 1t is intended to be EMPLOYED
when conditions warrant He has said
repeatedly that no tariff bin will be-
come law which does not meet his az
firmative approval
Until this week, this declaration has
been commonly construed to mean
snerely that the President would find
excuse for approving any bill that went
up TO him. Now, however, the fact de-
velops that he has no such easv-going
view of his responsibility. He has al
lowed it to be very definitely under
stood that the Aldrieh biz as it stands
today does not suit him, and that he
would not sign it. He would veto it.
This is not very definite, but it Is
definite enough. Perhaps it viii not be
sufficient guide to Messrs. Aldrich.
Lodge, Smott, ct al, to enable them to
put the bill into shape to command
the Presidents approval. In that case.
those perplexed statesmen can easily
solve their difficulty.
There are men in the Senate-good.
true, loyal Republicans, too-who have
been fighting for two months for Just
the kind of bill to which the Repub
lican party is pledged, and the kind
Air. Taft viii sign if it goes to him.
These men have had little consideration
for their views thus far. Perhaps they
viii get more of it hereafter, in view
OF the Presidents position.
II Mr.. Aldrieh wants to be certain
that his bin viii evoke the Executive
signature instead OF a veto. let him
consult Mr.. La Toilette about the cot
ton schedule, Mr.. Deliver about wool
ems, Mr.. Cummins about steel. Mr..
Burkett about lemons, Mr.. Crawford
about lumber Mr.. Brown about the
pulp and paper duties, Mr.. Beveridge
about the administrative features and
the tariff commission provision. If he
viii advise briefly with these gentle
men he viii discover a way immensely
- popularize his bin with the people /
of the United States; he viii discover
by what process he can avoid the
danger of tariff wars with friendly
nations; he viii learn what President
Taft wants in the way of real, honest /
revision. These men have he idea that
the mass of the American people have
entertained about tariff revision. They
viii be glad to provide specifications
for Mr. Aldrieh- They have already de-
nTered themselves of some casual If /
not very effective views on the subject. /
They are the men whom the leaders (
peed to consult; and they are the men
whom the country VIII foIlow if its |
expectations OF real revision are dis
appointed.

He Is well remembered by the men

He served the term that ended March

WAIT TILL THE OTHERS GET
THE HANG OF 1T!

What is Whisky! according to
Solicitor General Bowers, resolves into
the following:
I. Whisky is known to the manu-
facturers as whisky, as a mixture of
several kinds of whisky, ana as a mix
ture of whisky with neutral spirit,
'but the purchasing retailer in such a
case seldom knew that in fact he was
getting neutral spirit c9lored and fla
vored'
,. This was whisky when the pure
food and drug act was passed
3. Therefore, any trade compound
that went as whisky when the pure
food and drug act was approved is
whisky now.
Wait till the bleached -four, gelatine
ice cream, fiavoring substitute men
really get the hang of that argument!
