Cincinnati, Nov. 1T-Another Joint
meeting of the National Municipal
league and the American Civic asso-
citation WAS held last evening, with
Charles J. Bonaparte presiding Con-
Servation was the special topic, and
Dr.. Charles W. Eliot, president of the
National Conservation league, was the
chief speaker. In his address he
showed that the problem of conserva-
ton was not only a state and national
one. but a municipal one as well. He
dealt with the general phases of the
question, but especially with those that
call for attention at the hands of
municipal workers. The Conserva-
ton OF Government Lands" was dis.
cusscd by James Il. Garfield, who, as
secretary Of the interior. was lead

SEES CHEAP MONEY PERIL
of Country's Future-Has Talk
with Taft.

Washington. Nov. Thames J. Hill,
railroad magnate, talked to President
Taft in a most pessimistic vein about
the future of the United States. Hill
thinks the country is on the verge of
ruin, and all because of the high cost
of living and the decreased purchasing
power of money.
History shows" he says, that the
high cost of living is the beginning
of every national decline"
This Is what Hill said after he left
the president AS he made the gloomy
remark he shook his head in a dubi-
Gus way, as though he could hear the
first rumblings of the national fall
we must economic, economic" de,
clared the railroad president. ''Econo,
mize both individually and as gov
eminent We are spending too much
money. We are too eXtravagant We
are living beyond our means The cost
of living is way up beyond all rea-
SON"
Mr.. Hill seems to be terribly in
earnest about the danger of a national
decline because of the high cost of
living and general extravaganza.

ARE DENIED A new TRIAL
JUDGE MCPHERSON oVERRuLEs
MOTION IN HOOVER DlsTIL-
LERY CASE.
Square Dealing and Advertising Adds
to the Value Of Whiskey-lnsur-
ance Companies Claimed Os.
kaloosa Product Was Too
High Priced.

| Des Moines, Nov. IA motion for
I new trial in the case OF the Hoover
Distilling company against the fifteen
| insurance companies which held poll
cies on the Oskaloosa plant of the
company when it burned recently,was
denied yesterday by Judge Smith Nc
Pherson in federal court. During the
the distilling company was awarded
the sum of $4,000, the full face value
of the policies held by the companies,
and accrued interest amounting to
over $4,000.
A motion for a new trial was made
Iby the insurance companies on the
ground that the value of the whiskey
| claimed to have been lost by the dis
Itilling company in the fire, was too
high. They submitted evidence to
show that other WHISTLES, containing
the same ingredients, and exactly the
same in age and other qualities, are
sold at much lower prices than is the
| Hoover whiskey.
In his opinion Judge Mcpherson up
held the claims of the Hoover COM
pany in its contention that the price
of whiskey is not only regulated by
its real value as a whiskey, but Is
greatly enhanced by the reputation
which the company selling it has been
able to build up He contended that
if a company is able by square deal
inf, by the non-use of preservatives.
and by advertising, to establish good
name among its customers, then they
have right to charge more for their
whiskey than has another company
which has not taken the care to look
out for the same things. He cited
several cases OF parallel instances.
