likely say to himself, on first thought.
Indeed, it would have been so consid-
cred a few years ago, when soda

ways new fountain-a beauty, by the
ways SO arranged that should bibu-

drinks served at a soda fountain, and
want it steaming hot, he can be ac-
commodated. The counter is pro-
vided with all those little conveniences
that are found in the place where

heighten the illusion, has a base and
back mirror, just like a-you know

Box bail

Box Ball is becoming as popular a
game turnout the West as in the East
and in Everett, Ellensburg, Aberdeen,
Hoaquim, Bellingham, Snohomish, We
natchee, Anacortes, and in fact, every
place where Box Ball has been started,
the alleys are the most popular sport.
Box Ball is a game Of skill-one pin
can't knock down another. For this
reason and because the alleys are
shorter, and the balls smaller, lighter
and easier to handle, it is more of a pop
ular game than ordinary bowling. 48

them on any afternoon. 48

WASHINGTON, Sedt. 19.-The re.

OF the bill ignore the reduction in the
cotton schedules which have hereto
fore been subjected to criticism.
From iron ore which was cut Is
per cent. to ell other items as low as
20 per cent, with an average OF about
40 or 30 beOcent., the schedules had
been reduced so that the danger OF
increasing prices through a monopoly
OF business is very much lessened and
that was the chief purpose of the revi-
sion of the tariff downwardsunder the
republican protective principles.
"The high cost of living, of which
so per cent. is consumed in food, 25
per cent. on clothing and Is per cent.

Higher wages have been made possible

TAFT SURPRISES CRITICS.

One Of the most interesting features
OF President Taft's western trip ia
causing quite q commotion in politi.
cal circles, his endorsement of the
Payne tariff bill. in q speech deliv-
cred at Winona, Mimi, being more
emphatic than was expected by the
politicians. 1t was understood that
Mr.. Taft would discuss national ia
sues during his western trip, and his
views upon recent tariff legislation
were awaited with unusual interest.
The president, like other intelligent
citizens who have given attention to
tariff matters, csndidly admits that,
in his opinion, the Payne tariff bill is
not perfect in all its details. AS q
whole, however, the measure Is de-
clared to be q redemption of republi,
can pledges and 10 endorsed as the
best tariff measure eve enacted BY
congress. Some of the president't
remarks upon the subject were to thi,
effect:

IoWANS WELCOME TAFT.
President Outlines Legislation That
He Considers Necessary.

DIES MONIES, Sept. 2O.-President
Taft spent q little more than four
hours in Des Moines today, and dur
ing that time breakfasted with U. S.
Senator Cummins, one of the insur.
gent leaders in congress-, reviewed an
imposing paradeo of nearly 5000 federal
troops engaged in military tourna-
ment here, and made an open air ad.
dress TO an immense crowd gathered
from all the surrounding country, in
which he discussed In detail the chang.
es he will recommend in the interstate
commerce and antitrust laws. The
president announced that he would
urge the establishment Of an interstate
commerce court of five members to
consider appeals from rates fixed BY
the interstate commerce commission.
Legislation to prevent the over.
issue OF stocks and bonds and the
watering Of stocks will be strongly
recommended. The giving to shippers
the choice Of routes in the shipping of
freight is another important provis.
ion which the president favors.
In taking up the antitrust law,
President Taft declared that he knew
of no way In which distinction could
be made between good and bad trusts,
for he regarded all combinations to
suppress competition to maintain q
monopoly to be in the same category,
whether the terms should be regarded
in some instances as reasonable or
unreasonable. The president also
discussed the proposal to except labor
unions and organizations from the
operation of the anti.trust law. To
specifically except these organizations,
he declared, would be vicious legis.
lation, but he pointed q way in which
they could be relieved of some Of the
onerous restrictions now placed upon
them, but at the same time he held
them amenable to injunctions, which
form of procedure he believes ade.
quate to deal with any violations Of
the unions.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 18.-President

sofa today and with the shadow of

illness of Governor Johnson, proba-

dreaded eventualities threatened for q
time during the morning to curtail
seriously the program of entertain

President Taft was deeply affected
upon his arrival to receive a message
OF personal greeting from Governor
johnson. The compliment was so
unexpected under the circumstances
and coming by dictation from the lips
of q mar who was reported at the time
as having but the frailest chance for
life, 1t called out an immediate re.
spouse from Mr. Taft, filed with ex-
pressions of sympathy and fervent
hope for q speedy recovery.

the president called out prolonged ap-
plause and cheering when he declared

cannot be spared. He is too valua-

state, but to the people of the nation,

President Taft also aroused enthus.

with many happy references to the
civic virtues Of the neighboring cities,
declaring them to be SO much alike
that they should combine as one city,
with q borough of Minneapolis and q

TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES.

The tariff bill recently passed will
Be subjected to . very unfair test in
the strenuous campaign which will be
waged against it by the democratic
and their "~insurgent" allies between
now and the time for the election Of
the next congress. Every increase in
the cost of articles which enter into
the daily life Of the people will be
heralded as the direct result of the
Ubiquitous tariff, says the Kansas City
Journal. This, regardless OF whether
or not the tariff affects the article in
question.
The fact that the wage average has
Increased IS per cent. In fourteen
years does not mean that every indi-
vidual employe in all classes of daily
livelihood receives TO day nearly
double the pay he earned in 1895, nor
could it be expected to do 90; but It
does prove that increase In wage and
In the cost of living are intimately
associated. A great deal of the in
creased cost Of living has no more to
do with the tariff than the nebular
hypothesis, yet the housewives and the
house heads will have 1t dinned into
their ears, every time they have to
pay more for daily necessities, that II
the tariff had only been revised down.
ward the cost of living would be md.
terially reduced. The man who pays
the bills for his family table pays more
for farm, livestock and packing house
products than ever before. BE pays
more for -four, potatoes, fruit, poul-
try, butter, eggs,iand for the princi.
pal Ingredients Of his daily three
meals. But the tariff has nothing to
do with this increase, save to give the
wage arm employment which will
enable him to provide himself and his
family with the three meals.
II foreign manufacturers could food
the country with foreign made shoes,
clothing and the many articles of daily
wear, they might possibly be cheaper,
but the wherewithal for their purchase,
coming from conditions of general
prosperity, would be lacking. A lit.
tie headwork might very effectively
supplant the random assaults on the
tariff and the half.baked economic
theories OF those who imagine they
would haveIplenty of money to buy
with If the foreign manufacturers
could drive lAmericans out of bust
ness, and If calamitous business con.
ditions in. the country at large de-
prived the farmers, whose products

tariff, OF their home market. The
farmer is not 80 much benefited by
