STEAMlNG TROPHY
Won by Battleship Ohio; Trouble over
Mock Marriage.

MOCK Marriage.
The battleship Ohio sailed Monday
from Fortress Monroe for New York
winner of the "steaming trophy for
the voyage around the world"
The announcement of the award
was made from the flagship Connect.
cut and was splendid tribute to the
engine room staff of the winning ship.
The contest was one of economy in
coal and water consumption for the
entire trip.
The Ohio is one of the older ships
of the feet and her steaming record
Is regarded as all the more notable by
that fact.
Naval circles at Fortress Monroe had
a flutter of excitement when they
learned of mock marriage in the par
lors of the Chamberlain hotel in
which Midshipman Robert S. Young,
Jr., of the armored cruiser North Caro-
lima and Miss Margaret Connell, daugh.
ter of A. j. Connell of Scranton, Pa,
were supposed to be the principals.
The entire ceremony was joke among
young people at a party.
The younG people were deeply chag-
rined to find serious announcement
in Norfolk and Newport News papers
Of the supposed wedding. Captain
Marshall directed the one who sent out
the story to go at once to the news
paper offices and make personal re-
traction.

RATES OF ADVERTISING:

votes to defeat the bill The RepubIi-
cans of the state, as party and or.
ganization, have not taken sides and
every member of the Legislature has
been encouraged to act for himself IN
this particular matter
The House has passed finally the
McClain bill providing that 80 per
cent of the personal property taxes
shall be returned to the counties from
which that tax was collected. The bill
was very popular one in the House.
Two years ago, however, it was de-
feated on the Senate side and there
is ground for the belief that it will
again meet that same fate when 1t
reaches the Senate this year.
No Legislature within a quarter Of 4
century has disposed of its work with
more harmony and intelligence than
has attended every move thus far
made in the present session. There
have been no scandals. There have
been no charges against the integrity
OF the several important committees,
and it is a marked feature that each
individual member has been allowed
the pleasure of exercising his o"n
best judgment, regardless of whateNe"
influence has been brought to bear in
favor of any of the measures under
consideration.
The Republican leaders of the state
have determined that there shall b"
no profligacy, no reckless or selfish
legislation, yet it has been made PLAIN
that any economies practiced shall not
extend into the realm of stinginess.
Only the best interests of the state
are being considered, and with this
important object constantly in view It
is not probable that any freak legis-
lation will stand any show during the
remaining days of the short but skill
fully managed session.

Party organization and the respon

too little patience, he said, witt
those who think or think they think
that republican government can be
continued and administered withou'
party organization. Organization will.
always overcome disorganiZation.
Mr.. Root pointed out that there Il,
process going on in the country nov
to which political organizations should
give heed. 81 think" he said, that
there has been for some time past an
indication. that there have been man.
indications of a widespread feeling
among the people Of the United States
that the political organizations are moi
truly representative of them"
Mr.. Root said he did not intend to
discuss any question of primary nomi.
nations or whether nominations should
be made by political committees with
referendum or any question as to
nominations by committees.
"Every man who swerves from the
high duty of truly representing the
people by whom he is constituted an
officer" said Mr.. Root. "a member Of
any body, any convention, any com
mittee, which has political power, who
swerves from the straight line of true
representation, is doing an injury, and
perhaps fatal injury, to his organiza.

MR., TAFT PROTESTS
Says He Was Misrepresented
as TO Tariff Views.

Schedules Were Responsible Fol
Present Business Depression - Die
Say That It Is Of the Highest I'M
portance That Work Of Revising
Should 3. Executed With All Pos
sible Dispatch-Favors Tariff Com
mission.
President-elect Taft made vigor'
ous protest against what he said was
an absolute Misrepresentation in GER
tain New York newspapers as to what
he had said recently in answering
questions regarding tariff revision.
He had stated, he said, that the pres
ent business depression was un-
doubtedly due in large measure to
the fact that the ta1ff is to be re-
vised at an extra session of congress
to meet March 10; that 1t was of the
highest importance that this work OF
revision should not be delayed but ex-
ecuted with all possible diligence.
Mr. Taft also said he favored the
idea OF a permanent tariff commits
sion, the plan for which should be
worked out with deliberation, the du-
ties of such a commission to be to
make careful study of the operation
of the proposed new tariff law, to the
end that suggestions be made in the
future which would tend to place the
whole question of the tariff on more
certain and scientific basis
Upon this statement Mr.. Taft was
made to say that the present tariff
schedules were responsible for the
present business depression, and that
when they were revised their own par
ents would not know them, all of
which was amplified at length and
made positive by appearing to be a
vigorous and enthusiastic statement
Mr.. Taft was particularly perturbed
over what he called misrepresenta-
tion, particularly in view of the weight
which is now given his words because
of his official position. He had, he de-
clared, changed his position in no way
and held the same views he had pub
licly announced during and since the
campaign.
