HOPES FOR RADICAL REFORMS
One Of the Principal Objects Of Trip
to Coast Is to Explain Why He
Signed the Tariff Bill Passed
at the Special Session.

Beverly, Mass. Sept. 1.-THE tar
the Taft ministration-eyen during
the first term Of the administration,
should there be two of them.
The president will pry OF the lid in
the speeches in the west, and through
the tariff commission, hopes to bring
about radical change In the Payne
Aldrich bill In the next four years.
The president has indicated that he
intends to tell the members of the
Boston Chamber OF Commerce NEXT

tanned at the time, but the president
viii state plainly that he is not salts
fed with the result, although he
signed II.
1t Is probable that the president
will In each OF his talks on this sub
iect point out that he. by his own
personal efforts, obtained reductions
on many commodities, but the wool
schedules, which Senator Aldrich
called the backbone of the tariff, will
be attacked by the president
The chief executive realizes, partic-
ularly since the tariff bill was signed,
that the west has not accepted free
hides nor a normal reduction in the
duty on coal as real downward re-
duction," and he will say so. The
explanation will be
that what was obtained was the best
ton is net through with the tariff
It is believed that the president has
power under the recent
revision for a tariff commission and
that he expects 10 ask the next con-
gress to take up anew the work of
revising the tar,G schedules down

Information from he west, includ-
ing editorials from many Republican
papers in the country districts, prom

FEDERAL SUITS GOING ON
at Hartman Personally, but
Corporations.

Washington, Sept 10.-The death
Of e. H. Hartman will not affect the
federal suits pending against his rail
road lines. These suits are against
the railroad corporations and not
against Hartman personally. He
was named in them as an officer OF
the corporations.
The most important OF these suits
is that against the Union Pacific mer-
ger of the Southern and Central Pa
ciic railroad properties. 1t was
brought under the antitrust laws.
There are number of cases against
the Hartman lines before the inter
state commerce commission. They
have to do with the railroad cases in
the territory west of the Mississippi.
The supreme court is expected TO de-
eide a case early this fall in which
the power of the commission to make
and enforce rates is brought squarely
before the highest tribunal. This case
affects all the Western railroads.

SCORNS FISHING LAWS.

That the present code ofwest vir-
ginia ought to be burned is the belief
of many local anglers who are very
indignant over some of restrictions
set down in the laws regarding fish
ing and hunting, says the Wheeling
Telegraph. The prohibition of Sum-
day fishing is the most Objectionable
portion of the new game laws. The
fishermen claim that this is rich
mans law, and that it gives the poor
man no chance at all.
1t is claimed that Sunday is prac-
tically the only day the poor man to
fish, because during the other six
days of the week he must toll to feed
and clothe his family. Sunday for
the rich angler is day of rest for he
is tired after fishing the other six
days of the week.

Shaving Soap.

It is commonly assumed that soap
is used in shaving for the purpose OF
eoftening the hairs, but this is a
mistake, declares a writer in con-
temporary. 1t is used, on the con-
trary, to render them hard, stiff and
brittle, in which condition they best
yield to the razor. Hair being nat
urally oily, were we to shave dry or
with water only, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair with
out cutting it or, entering about half
way, bend the hair back and slice it
lengthwise. all the while straining it
most painfully at the roots, and as a
razor would thus slice and pull out
probably a large number of hairs at
once the inconvenience and dis
comforts which one experiences in
shaving under the existing condi-
tons would be considerably intensi-
fed.

EIectrifyins an Elephant.

A very curious accident occurred
in Mysore, India, recently. A palace
elephant n,ahout, seated on a huge
tusker, happened to pass under the
main line wires conveying current
from the power station. Thinking
he would test the truth of any one
being killed if the wire touched, he
was foolish enough to place his
hand on the wire. The effect was
disastrous. Both mahout and ele-
plant were knocked down instantly
and lay insensible. The elephant
after short while got up and rush
ed about in a dazed manner, wreck
ing carriages, posts, ETC., in its mad
career. After a most exciting chase
the semi-electrocuted elephant was
captured BY means of two other ele-
phants.-Madras Mail.

The Romantic Story of It's Founding
by the Aztees.

IhS homantle Story o. It's FOUNDING
by the Axtees.
The story of the founding of the
City of Mexico is one of the most ex-
traordinary tales in history. 1t hap
pened in 1926; at least it began a
long time before that, but was an
accomplished fact about 600 years
ago.
In the first place, imagine an al
most inaccessible mountain crowned
with a valley at the height of 5000
feet above the level of the sea. In
the center Of this valley was an i'm
mense lake. When the Aztecs ar
rived, led by the priests Of the god
of war. they found it in the posses
sion of hostile tribes. ~
For that reason and because the
priests declared that in a certain
part of the lake where there stood
an elevation OF stones an eagle had
been devoaring serpent they began
the construction OF the city on this
spot, Immediately over the deepest
waters Of the lake. There had long
existed prophecy among the AZ
tees that their wanderings would
end when they should have reached
a place where the priests would be-
hold an eagle resting on a cactus
plant devouring serpent.
Confident that they had found
the spot ordained to be their abiding
home, they began to construct RATS
of the trunks OF trees, covering
them with thick layers of earth, up
on which they built rude huts Of
more or less solidity. Groups Of
dwellings soon began to form them
selves in regular order, thus deter
mining the primitive streets of the
new city.
They also constructed boats and
oars of different sizes useful in
peace and war. and while certain of
their number occupied themselves
in defending their homes and breth-
ren from the onslaughts of hostile
tribes others continued to improve
and enlarge the city. Gradually the
lake was filed up, and terraces arose
one after another in the place once
occupied by the deep waters.
This was in itself herculean
labor, unsurpassed in ingenuity and
durability by any similar work of
ancient or modern times. Upon the
first OF these terraces was construct
ed. the Teocalli, or sacrifcial TEN
pie. 1t was begun in 1916 and not
completed until 1925, a little over
100 years, from which time may be
dated the official foundation Of Te-
nochtitlan, today the modern City Of
Mexico.-Exchange.
