WILL TAT VETO
TARIFF BILL?
Discussion of Presidents
Probable Action in Event
Bill is Unsatisfactory
Chicago Speech of Secre-
tary McVeagh Not Read
by President Before De-
livery.

Washington. June Senate aud
house leaders who IRE directing the
course Of the tsriff bill who will be
members OF the conference on the
bill after it had passed the senate.
took measures yesterday to ascertain
whether there was any boundation
for reports that President Taft
would veto the btl'.
They have reached vhe conclusion
that there is no basis whatever for
such reports.
As late a. last evening the presi
dent told one OF the Republican lead
era that no one had authority to
suggest that he had in mind the veto
% the tariR measure.
II was learned unon the highest
authority that President Taft had
not read the Chicago speech of Sec
retary OF the Treasury Macveagh
before the secretary left Washington
FOR Chicago. and that the president
was sot aware OF the character of
the speech 10 be made. This does
not mean that the president fnds
fault with Mr.. Macveagh's utteran-
ees. but merely answers the report
that 1t was an official view OF the
tarin spuation and that h expressed
Mr. TsG's opinion.
Republican leaders were Inclined
to assign to political iaSxperience
Secretary MacVesgh's failure to con
slider that any speech DELIVERED by
him likely would be takea as the
view OF the administration Many of
the leaders poiRe 90 the fact that
the speech was delivered TO an audi
ence which sympathized with de-
I'm nds for revision downward but at
the same time they asser, that .
careful reading OF tho spsah would
Indicate THAT II had Beea miscon-
strued In many quarters.

The growth of the Methodist
church organization in the state is
evidenced from the necessity for the
creation of another district, dividing
the state into four districts, Grand
Forks, Fargo, Minot and Bismarck.
It is gratifying that Bismarck the ma
tural business and commercial Gen.
ter of the western part of the state
has been made the center of Metho-
dism in this section of the state.
The new district has been named the
bismarck" district and Superinten-
dent Danford, who has filled the po-
sition ably in the Fargo district, will
be superintendent of this district
with his home at Bismarck. This
will enable him to center his efforts
in the advancement of church work
in this new territory, and ought to
result in a substantial increase in
membership and wealth. Rev. Dan
ford is an energetic worker, and he
knows the wisdom and value Of keep
ing in touch with the press in fur
thering the work he has to do. He
will be extended a cordial welcome
as resident of Bismarck.

THE STOLEN BICYCLE.
An Exciting Chase That Ended In an
All Around Capture.

An Exciting Chase That Ended In an
All Around Capture.
A cyclist had left his machine out
side a shop. and be emerged just In
time to see man riding away on 1t.
Three other cyclists had put up for
refreshments close by, and one OF
their machines, a tandem, was seized
by the victim of the theft for the pur-
pose OF pursuit. This hasty act was
observed by a passing pedestrian, who
instantly and Indignantly mounted the
remaining machine and dashed after
the cyclist who was chasing the thief.
A second later the owner Of the last
mentioned bicycle rushed wildly out.
and, seeing no other bicycle handy on
which to give chase. jumped into q
cab. Here there were three men on
stolen cycles aud the fourth man in a
cab all racing as If mad. The man on
the tandem finally caught the thief,
the next man caught him and the
next caught him. and so on, until
there was a very complicated row.
In the end there was an explana-
ton. The thief was locked up and
ultimately sentenced for two months.
Evidently his pride was more wound
ed by the street episode than by the
sentence, for be boastfully declared
that no single man on a tandem ever
would have caught him had he not
been riding ID long trousers.-Ex'

The Dickinson Recorder takes oc-
casion to say godd word for l.. B..
Hanna, congressman from North Da-
kota, which will be repeated by the
republicans of the state generally.
Mr.. Hanna has acquitted himself
well in his first term in congress.
He is well acquainted with the needs
of the state, knows how it is devel-
oping and will develop, and is in a
position through his congressional in
fluence and standing to further that
development through wise and intel
ligent legislation in the interests of
the people of North Dakota. Mr..
Hanna has already announced his
candidacy for reelection, and he
should and will have a majority in
the primary election. He has made

A Costly Experiment.

An enterprising Australian million
aire named Leonard took a trip to
Peru some years ago. he saw great
docks of the alpaca wandering on the
Andes. Being a woolgrower himself.
he was struck with their splendid
fleece. He resolved to buy some and
take them home. He found that the
Peruvian government absolutely pro-
hibited their export he tried by
chartering special ship to smuggle
some of, but was unsuccessful. Then
the idea occurred to him Of taking
them out of the country eastward. He
bought q large flock. engaged trusty
men and had the creatures driven
over the passes, $4,000 feet above sea
level, and then clean across the CONT.
uent to Buenos Aires. This little ex-
petition cost him $4,000. But the
long march had so weakened the al
pacas that they all died on the voyage.

passing just now through period OF
rebuilding and in reply to some criti-
cisms and querulous inquiries, the
Herald prints the following apt COM
ment:
Progress means the renewal Of that
which is old and outgrown to make
room for the new and better. 1t
means, too, to some extent the dis
counting of the future. 1t might be
a safe thing, if people were so con-
stituted that they could do it, to save
up our pennies and have the cash to
plank down on the spot for every
improvement before one is undertak'
en-. 1t would, perhaps be safe, but
that is all that could be said for it..
If we are to live as progressive hui
man beings we must have faith in
the future, and we must capitalize
our faith. The penny-pinching pol
icy is just as Objectionable, and just
as injurious to an individual or a
community as is the opposite ex-
IRENE of wild recklessness. The
golden mean is the spirit of optimism
which, while wise enough not to wan
der afield too far, is still brave
enough to mark out new paths, to
develop new territory, and to assume
the obligations which such progress
sive steps necessarily entail.
We can learn better ways of doing
things than we have employed in the
past. We have made mistakes, and
we ought to be able to profit by
them. We ought to be able to get
along with less confusion, less inter-
ruption of business, than has pre-
vailed in the past. We ought to be
able to do a good many things bet
ter than we are doing them now.
But it is better even to make mis-
takes in the doing of things than not
to do them at all. And 1t is to be
hoped that none of us will live to
see the time when we can call the
city of Grand Forks finished. 1t
is to be hoped that we will always
have men here who will see the ne
cessity for further improvement, even
though that involves the tearing
down of some of the things that we
are now building. And may the day
never come when in the city of
Grand Forks it will be impossible to
find men whose confidence in the city
is so slight that they will be unwill-
ing to ''chip in" for another laudable
enterprise.

4 Trait That Brands Thorn a. IN.
sociabie and Abrupt.

sociapie ana Abrupt.
What a complicated thing is the
character Of the Londoner. Out Of
pure shyness be becomes disagreeably
abrupt; out Of pure fear of intrusion he
becomes unsociable. A number Of un-
acquainted men in the same tramway
car will never think Of entering into
conversation as they would anywhere
Else 10 the world. Silently they leave
the car as they entered it. And yet it
does not seem natural to me that they
should not prefer to converse. But
they are afraid to intrude; besides,
they have not been introduced"
proper" introduction Is one Of the
characteristics Of the Londoner. In
Germany when q man enters private
room containing people be does not
know or If he sits down at table
outside a restaurant-in fact. when
ever he comes into touch with stran-
ger-he will make his bow and an
nounce his name. He will Introduce
himself. Then both will chat like old
acquaiutances. But 1t is ten to one
that neither Of them caught the num-
bled name of the other, nor did they
care. To both Of them their meeting
has been an episode to be forgotten the
very next second. And it not infre-
quently happens that man will turn
to some friend, asking: did you see
me talk to that man? Who is he? he
mentioned bis name. but did not
quite catch it."
Now, in England to walk into room
where there is private gathering and
to 20 around from one to another intro
ducing yourself would. as see, be
called bad manners. The Englishman
wants to be introduced by third per-
son. and it seems that the third person
will introduce the other two only II he
thinks they would actually like to
know each other. Then, however, the
name is not only mumbled or men,
toned. but grappled with. The two
men at once impress that name upon
their minds. associate the person with
the name and forget neither the one
nor the other. An Introduction In Lon
don does not seem an episode to me to
be over and done with the next second.
but always the beginning of an actual
friendship. And where friendship Is
not likely to ensue an Introduction Is
left aside.-London Mail.
