Not later than Saturday night the
on the tariff bill viii COM
Flete a report which will meet the
wishes of President Taft, involving
free raw materials and lower sched-
ules on manufactured products.
This today is regarded as a GER
tainty, and it comes as the after
math Of the memorable dinner Mr..
Taft gave last night to the con-
ferees and other men influential in
tle present tanf situation.
President Won Fight.
That the President has won
his fight, that the country is
squarely behind him. and that the
coaferees are prepared to meet
his demands. is now the talk Of
ali Official Washington.
From gentlemen who have the
confidence of the conferees, there
comes the statement that. in ac-
cordance with the Presidents
wishes, the conferees will report
back to the House and Senate a
finished bill containing the fol-
lowing salient characteristics:
Free hides; free iron ore; free oil:
coal at forty instead of sixty cents on
the ton: a reduction ranging from i've
to ten per cent in the duties on boots
and shoes; lumber at s1.25. which is a
compromise between the rates in the
Payne and AIdrich billsi marked reduc-
tions on the cheaper grades Of eott'n
goods. the Senate rates, instead of the
higher House rates. on gloves and he

Stands By Guns.
Tariff was not discussed while the
President and his guests were at tho
dinner table at the White House last
night, but. after the meal The Presi-
dent. in a diplomatic way. told his
guests that no one had presented to him
arguments OF sufficient weight 10 make
him swerve from his conviction that he
champions the proper policy. which Is
for free raw materials and lower sched-
ules on the manufactured products.
From q conferee who is VIGOROUSLY a
high protection man comes the unauaH.
fled statement that the President added
his belief that. If the conferees could
not get together on his program. it
would be well to have the matter go
back 10 Congress for another and long
er discussion. Reduced to words of four
letters. this means veto" to the con-
ferees If they could not meet the Presi-
dents wishes.
Mr.. TAFT then repeated 10 his guests
the substance Of what he had said TO
the members Of the House who visited
him IN the attempt to persuade him TO
a cessation in his night for free raw ma
terlaIs. He pointed out that the plat
form and the campaign promises OF the
Republican party were unequivocaliy
for downward revision. revision which
should remove every particle of protec-
ton where protection was not needed.
He emphasized his adherence and 10y
atty TO the protective system, but with
equal emphasis he declared his opposi-
ton TO those interests which through the
tarfff system. want TO fasteu themselves
to the body polite like barnacles. taking

authority for the revised version of
the ancient temperance lesson. The
demon rum is no more to be avoid
ed by the youth than the demon
that turks in the fizzy mixtures

You don't even have to walk to get
a dash of poison in your soft drink
glass.
DR.. Wiley has been investigating
the soda water fountains, and de-
clares that out Of more than 100
samples of soft drinks collected by
him all contained caffeine and many
of them a deadly drug. In an ad-
dress before the girl students of a
Washington academy he warned
his hearers to abstain.
Granting that the worthy warrior
in the campaign for pure food is

intensely complicated. In the cit

Rabbits Fatten Hogs.

Whiteside, Mo-, March Is Feed
ing rabbits to fattening hogs is a
new departure in hog feeding bust
ness, but this is what Leslie D..
Long, poultry and game dealer
here has been doing.
Long caught about 500 or 600
rabbits when the hare market went
to pieces. He realized that to ship
the rabbits to market would be ex-
pensive. He cut the feet and heads
off and hung the rabbits up in his
poultry house.
After several days he decided the
market for his rabbits would never
be any better, so concluded he
would feed the whole batch to his
hogs. The swine relished the new
diet and picked up all kinds o
flesh. Long wants more rabbits
now.
