PRESIDENT TAFT
WILL LASH SUGAR
TRUST IN MESSAGE
Gives Encouragement to Water
ways Backers and Urges
US. Mercantile Marine.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Carrying In
every paragraph the intense pride of
an American who has just completed
an inspection trip through thirty States
Of q country with record crops and
crowded bank vaults, President Taft's
message has gone to the printers
finally revised. The President breaches
the Doctrine Of hope to a prosperous
country, Short by comparison, concise
and optimistic. the message mingles
the free and unhampered progress of
the West with the conservatism of the
East and unites them both.
In the main the message stands prac-
tically as first dictated. 1t will not
exceed 10000 words in length.
President Taft will leave the trusts
10 a special message and to the courts.
Since he began the actual preparation
Of his message changes have occurred
which demonstrate the wisdom of writ
ing IL but q few days before the assem-
bling of Congress.
Should the government lose its fight
to dissolve the Oil Trust the President
a be depended upon to send to Con-
KTtSS -
which will stop the gaps. Should this
become necessary there is a strong
probability that III the amending of the
act II would be made to exclude any
combination the intent Of which is not
the restraint OF trade.
When President Taft reached The
Sugar Trast there apparently came one
OF those moments when he demonstrate
thai there is something even more ad-
mirable behind the smile, He has nc
care for the petty agent in the game
bag Of the law. Inc men whom ne
wishes 10 reach are those who worked
out the plan of the fraud. There Is the
SNAP of lash and the burr Of words Of
deep feeling in what he has to say II
there be action for Congress to take
what the President says of the Sugai
Trust will hasten it.
This administration IS for ships whlcf
will carry the American flag, American
mails and American cargoes. Presiden'
Taft VIII recommend an ocean mai
aubvention for lines to South America
Australia and the Philippines.
Men who are back of the grea
waterways projects can find encourage
ment in the message if they hav'
propositions which will bear the opel
light. Mr.. Taft stands for develop
mint OF waterways along broad line
after they have been demonstrated b.
thorough expert investigation TO b
feasible and demanded by commerce
His view of the projects which he in
v~estigated as he went down the Missis
sippi river and at Norfolk has no
chsnged. He holds that before tn
money of the people of the Unite'
States is spent in making great waite
transportation routes it must be demon
strated that they are demanded an
will repay the expenditures in prosper
GUS commerce.

Lucky Numbers.

men who are entirely free from this
hallucinatiOn- For long tine even num-
bers were considered unlucky. IT being
argued that their divisibuIty was SYM
boiicaIly, an omen OF death. On the other
hand, odd numbers were considered lucky
because they are not diviSible. The old
Romans we're especially attached 70 the
number 5. as it Is the smallest fndiviSfble
number. Their faith IA this number 2
manifested itself even IN their religion
Jupiter welded a triple thunderbolt and
Neptune carried a three -pronEed trident
Pluto had a three-headed dog. and there
were three fates, three furies nd three
graceS. They also held that any number
that could be divided By 8 was lucky.
The most prevalent numerical superstl-
ton, without doubt, concerns the number

In a back yard only 20 by 50 feet many
useful things can be raised The ground
should first be well shaded and fertilized
before any planting is attempted. The
soil must be well prepared for the seed

them. Lettuce, radishes. beets. onions and
