NOT BUNKOED AT ALL,
SAYS THE PRESIDENT
By JAMES Hay. II.

President Taft refuses to be convinced
that there is a Joker in the leather
schedule OF the tariff bill and that ne
and the public have been "bunkoed" by
the conferees who made the final form
Of the measure.
To his callers today he was unusually
emphatic IN his declaration that the
leather schedule, like the others In dis
pute, had been framed In accordance
with his wishes and that IL was exactly
as agreed upon by Aldrich and Payne
IN meeting his wishes on the subject.
The argument was freely voiced at the
Capitol Saturday and this morning that
the President had been deceived by the
conferees and that the alleged reduc-
tons in the leather schedule were not
for the interests Of the people to any
marked extent, as not much leather
from the "hides OF cattle" was used in
the manufacture of the good grades Of
shoes
According 70 the Presidents callers.
this morning. he told them that there
was a distinct understanding between
him and the cOnferees that, in cOnsic-
Grafton OF free hides previously duti-
able, all articles on which such dutiabie
hides were component parts Of chief
value, should have a reduction even be-
low that proposed In the House bill,
except sole leather itself, which in the
House bin had been reduced from 20
per cent TO per cent, which was con-
sideTed low enough.

MAYHAP FUTURE
Of THE TROPICS

At the recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, Colonel Cor
gas, U. S. A., renewed his prediction
that white men will yet occupy the tro-
pics, and not only occupy, but flourish
in regions in which it has been here
tofore held it was impossible for them
to maintain foothold. Conquer ma
laria, and you rave conquered the tro-
pics, might be the formula of the
Gorgas prophecy Colonel Gorgas dares
predict that by the time 1909 is as old
as is at the present day the Norman
conquest of England, localities in the
tropics will be "the centers of as pow
Ierful and cultured white civilization
as any that will exist in temperate
zones. The Norman conquest now
being S43 years back in the worlds
history, this long range prediction is
safe, as the prophet is assured against
the experience of being personally con-
futed. As it is based on the wonder
full results that sanitation has accom-
plished in suppressing Misunderstanding
mosquitoes at Panama and in Cuba it
is not to be poohpoohed altogether,
even if reflection checks the enthusi-
asm by recalling how many other con-
ditions than bodily we'll being must be
co-ordinated to impel progress in re
gions yet alien to the habits of the
white race. That last year there were
but SO deaths to a working force of
1880 on the Isthmus certainly goes
to show that autocratic sanitation, Sc
conded by ordinary personal precau-
tions, can work wonders. The ques-
tion is, how far this sanitary autocracy
would be endurahle by white men If
moved by spontaneous impulse to seek
the physically easier existence OF the
tropic lands?-Boston Transcript.

A FEW AIRSHIPS

TOXIC Sept 9.-The Navy Depart
ment announced today that it has APP
proved two airships invented by Naval
Engineer Narahara which are believed
to be practical for use in war and
nearly perfect in construction. The
government has been working CON
stantly on the construction of air
craft and the advancement of aerial
navigation in Europe and America has
been watched carefully Secret tests
have been made from time to time
with various models until now the
Narahara ships are officially adopted
and declared successful.
No data was given out to the records
for sustained fight or speed made by
these ships but it is known that the
officials have been entirely satisfied.
One of the ships is characterized

DISCOVERER COOK
TELLS HIS STORY

NEW YORK, September 23.-Forty
newsppermen, including the New York
representatives of many foreign pub
LEGATIONS subjected DR.. Cook to a Cruel
ling cross-examination regarding his
polar trip, yesterday. The explorer
willingly submitted to the questioning
and related the story of his travels to
the minutest details. The description
of the lonely dash for the pole, over
vast stretches of binding ice nd snow
made great impression on his hear
ers.
The Board of Aldermen yesterday
passed resolutions commemorative the
great achievement of Dr. Cook in ac-
complishing what so many explorers
have unsuccessfully tried, and took
steps to prepare for great public
function at which the people of this
city will have a chance to do honor to
the intrepid explorer.

HOW TO PREVENT BLOOD POISON

Carelessness and neglect are the
chief causes of blood poisoning. A
cut OF bruise, however slight, should
have immediate attention. A good
liniment aud one that not only gives
prompt relief from pain. but being
anti-septic, heals the wound without
maturation, is Chamberlainfs Pain
Balm. When this remedy is applied
all daI.ger from blood poisoning is
avoided. For sale by all dealers,
