to the House and Senate direct, and
that if this appeal failed he would dis
approve the bill when it was sent to
him. The conferees conceded the de-
mands of Mr.. Taft. They realized that
the President is man of his word, that
there would be no tariff legislation at
this session of Congress unless it was
legislation which Mr.. Taft, acting on
behalf of the whole country as the
President of all the people, could ap-
prove.
With his veto power President Taft
has, throughout this controversy, held
the whip hand over those reactiOnary
members of his party in the Congress
who have been defying the will of the
people and blocking the President 5
efforts to obtain honest tariff revision
IN the interest of the masses. Presi-
dent Taft, it now appears, would not
have hesitated to resort to the veto if
the extremists in Congress had not
come to their senses.
Mr. Taft could not have yielded to
the extremists without sacrificing the
masses. He could not, as conscien e.
tious, highminded Republican, the head
of his party, sanction a betrayal of the
people by the reactionary elements of
his party without loss to himself of
prestige, without the impairment of his
influence with the people, and probably
without disastrous consequences to his
party. He had plain duty to perform
and the will and the power to perform
it effectually. The favored benefciaries
of the Aldrich-Payne schedule the
trusts, the Interests" and their friends
in Congress-will be enraged because
the President has blocked their schemes.

A NOTABLE VICTORY.

President Taft has won a notable vic
tory over the reactionary elements of
of his party in Congress, says the Bal
timore Sun. He has achieved this trl-
umph bya combination Of tact, firmness
and moral courage which reflect high
credit upon his ability and determination
as a leader. Mr.. Taft notified the Re-
publican members of the joint confer
ence committee on the Tariff bill that
he would not recede from his demands,
on behalf of the people, for reduction
Of the duties on lumber, gloves, hosiery,
leather and leather goods. He warned
the conferees that if the reduction for
which he contends were not embodied
in the conference report he would APP
peal over the heads of the committee,

This the popular puzzle over the state
just now: a banker going home to
dinner saw so bill on the curb stone.
He picked it Up, noted the number and
went home to dinner. While at home
his wife remarked that the butcher had
sent bill amounting to $40. The onlv
money he had was the bill he had found
which he gave to her, and she paid the
butcher. The butcher paid it to far
mer for calf, the farmer to the mer-
chant, who in turn paid it to a washer
woman, and she. owing the banker a
note Of so, went to the bank and paid
the note. The banker recognized the
bill as the one he had found, and which
to that time had paid $50 worth of debt.
On careful examination he discovered
that the bill was counterfeit. Now
what was lost in the transaction, and by
whom? Kansas CITY Journal.

4 WITHIN iiIfi nniGjiST DELIVERED
BY EX-G0V. WAKEFIELD
Charges Senator Smith With Buying
Baltimore Organization for $4,000

In the course Of bitter arraignment
of the Democratic organization in Mary
land Ex-Governor Warfeld said that
Senator Smith had bought the Balti-
more city organization from ex-Gov-
ernor Brown in the last Senatorial
primaries for $50, 900.
Mr.. Warheld's speech was delivered
at Lisbon, Howard county, Saturday
afternoon, while the election to select
delegates to the Democratic State Con-
yention was being held.
Ex-Governor Brown. when inter-
viewed, declared Mr.. Warfeld's state
ment regarding the alleged deal was
untrue
Mr. Warfeld also pleaded for changes
in the Primary Election law and for a
Senatorial primary law. He declared:
The organization does not represent
the great Democratic party, but only a
clique of men who are exploiting it and
using it for their own personal benefit.
with few exceptions, the members
of the State Central Committee are
oficeholders or the puppets of some
officeholders.
Il do not think that men who are
holding Office should control the party
machinery so they can perpetuate them
selves IN office"
The former governor challenges
United States Senator John Walter
Smith to publish an itemized account of
his expenditures in the senatorial pri-
maries, declaring: II think you would
be very much astonished at that state
ment.
The ex-governor denied the state
ment of State Senator German that the
primary election in Howard county was
fair, and offered to give 500 to charity
for evidence that he ever spent one
cent in the county.
