PRESIDENT IS
ENJOYING LIFE
Played Golf in the Rain and
Covers Long Automobile
Trips

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 17.-With no
matters of public business to inter-
fere, President Taft gave himself over
entirely to vacation joys today. He
played golf in drizzle during the
late forenoon, lunched wit h John
Hays Hammond at the lattcrs villa,
and took a long automobile ride up
the north shore with Mrs. Taft. The
president is daily extending his late
afternoon motor trips. The roads ant!
scenery are enticing and the journeys
are selected from road maps of the
north shore and Cape Ann country.
One of the presidents trips last week
showed a total distance covered of
ninety-three miles. There is seldom
day that the mileage falls below
fifty.
Attorney General Wickersham, Sec
retary MacVeagh of the treasury, and
Secretary Meyer Of the navy are due
in Beverly later in the week to talk
ovr government matters with the
president. Meantime Mr.. Taft will
devote himself entirely to play.
Today the president and Mr.. Ham
mond defeated Gen. Adelbert Ames
and w. ]. Boardman, their old time
rivals. in a foursome of golf on the
Essex county links. The score was
one up and the score of matches now
stands at two all. The rubber" will
be played on Wednesday.
On his forenoon visit to Des Moines,
Iowa, September 20, President Taft
will review parade of some 5000
troops OF the regular army, and after
ward will make a speech from the
reviewing stand. A military tourna-
ment will be in progress at Des
Moines at the time of the president S
visit.

Tariff Advantages Just the
Same There as in Other
Counties

Washington. Aug. 17-If there has
been any discrimination against
France in the application of the pro.
visions of the new tariff of tina,
country, officers of this government
are not aware of it. They are quite
confident that the impression which
seems to obtain in some quarters in
France that such is the case is found
ed upon a complete misunderstand-
Ing of the facts. These may be sim
ply stated from the point of view OF
the executive branch of this govern
ment.
In the first place, France, together
with Switzerland and Bulgaria, had
reciprocity arrangements with the
United States under the terms OF
which certain of their products were
admitted to this country at consider
ably reduced rates compared with
those that were pair by countries
which did not enjoy such arrange
ments. But other countries, mostly in
Europe, seeing the advantage that the
three countries named were enjoy
Ing, entered into a similar reciprocity
with the United States. In their case
however, the precaution was taken
to state in the body of the treaties or
agreements, the exact period of the
legal notice required to terminate
them, course not followed in the ar
rangements with France, Switzerland
and Bulgaria. In enacting the new
tariff, congress directed the presi-
dent to have regard to the stipulated
periods in terminating the reciproci-
ty arrangements with the various
countries and also provided that
where there was no stipulated terms,
six months from April 80, was to be
regarded as the day of termination.
This action was communicated by
the state department to France, Swift
zerland and Bulgaria. the executive
branch of the government being alb
solutely bound by the direction of
congress in this matter. At the same
time 1t Is said that the president ia
entirely willing to consider carefully
any representations In the nature of
protest that may be made. Indeed
there is reason to believe that ex-
changes on the subject already have
taken place.
When the reciprocity agreement
with France expires on October 81,
exporters will be required to pay on
American importations an increase of
from $1.75 to $3.50 per proof gallon
on brandies or other spirits distilled
from grain or other materials, an in
crease from IS cents to As cents and
6O cents per gallon respectively, ac-
cordfng to alcoholic strength, on still
wines and vernouth in casks, an in
crease Of from $1.25 to S1.S5 when i'm
ported in cases made up of bottles
or jugs and also an increase of from
rs to $3.50 per dozen quarts Of cham
payne and other sparkling wines.
Should the maximum rates be levied
by the president as result of dis
elimination against American pro-
ducts. there would be an addition to
these rates Of rs per cent ad va
loren.

Ruskin was nearly so. he gave to Rose La
Touche an alteration and a passion such as he

gularly drawn to him. despite the difference
in their years.
The two met often. They took long strolls
together In the pleasant fields Of Surrey. and
at last Ruskin begged her to make him happy
and to be his wife. Oddly enough, however.
she hesitated, not because he was 20 much old
er than herseuf, but because he had ceased TO
be what she regarded as IA true believer"
Some of the things that he had written shocked
her as being almost atheistic. She was her-
self. underneath all her gayety of manner, a
rigid and uncompromising Protestant. she
used phrases from the Bible In her ordinary
talk and when she spoke OF marriage with John
Ruskln she said that she could not endure to be
"yoked with an unbeliever."
Yet her heart was torn at the thought OF
sending him away: and so for several years
their intimacy continued, he pleading with her
and striving hard to make her see that love
was everything. She, on the other hand. read
over those passages of the Old Testament
which seemed to bar all compromise.
At last, In 1872, when she was "a and he
was 81, she gave him her final answer. She
would not marry him unless he could believe
as she did. His honesty forbade him to de-
ceive her by a pretended conversion. and so
they parted, never to see each other again.
How deeply she was affected Is shown by the
fact that she soon fell Ill. She grew worse
and worse, until at last 1t was quite certain
that she could not live. Then Rusktn wrote
10 her and begged that he might see her. She
answered with a note in which she feebly
traced the words:
"You may come If you can tell me that you
love God more than you love me"
When Ruskin read this his very soul was
racked with agony and he cried out:
mo, no-then l cannot come to her; Tor
love her even more than God"
When she died. as she did soon after. the
light of his life went out for Ruskin Nun
