PRESIDENT ABANDONS IDEA
OF ALASKA TRIP THIS YEAR

Washington. June 8.-President Taft
has notified Mr.. Tawney, chairman OF
the house committee on appropriations,
and Representative Cushman of Wash
ington that he does not wish to have
an appropriation made for his travel
ing expenses to Alaska, rs Mrs. Taft's
health is such that she probably will
not be able to make the trip.
The president said he did not think
that Mrs. Taft's illness would interfere
with his trip to the Seattle exposition.
Although he has made no -denfite
announcement heretofore, it has been
the presidents intention to depart in
August on a ten weeks tout of the West
and Alaska. 1t is said that the posi-
bility that Mrs. Taft will be able to
accompany the president with safety is
slight, although she is making salts
factory progress towards recovery from
her recent illness. Faced with the
necessity Of leaving her behind, Mr..
Taft made up his mind to abandon the
summer excursion altogether and en-
deavor to make a visit to the North
west in the early fall.

PURE FOOD PRINCIPLE TO
BE APPLIED TO BOOKS

Los Aongeles, June Public Lii
brarian Charles F. Lummis has framed
an intellectual pure food law for Ii
brary use, and hereafter will paste
"poison labels" in all inaccurate or
tainted" library books.
He contends that if it is important
for people to know when they are
drinking acids that would eat nails
when they think they are consuming
strawberry fiavors." it is also i'm
portant that they should know they are
reading only pipe dreams or romances
when they believe they are absorbing
solid history; that the public should
be warned against wormy science and
polluted history as we'll as against
bad sausage.
Mr.. Lummis has asked IS of the
leading libraries for their opinion with
a view to cooperation, and the replies
of most Of these are favorable, indicat-
ing that the new scheme will become
national in scope.
Among the works MI. Lummis will
label inaccurate" is the Encyclopedia
Britannica.

TACOMA TAKES STEPS TO
ADOPT COMMISSION PLAN

Tacoma, June 8.-Tacoma today is
elccting fifteen freeholders to revise
the city charter, changing the present
form of the city government into the

set of candidates, and consequently no
chance for a contest on the matter of
revision, as all the candidates have de-
clared themselves in favor of the COM
mission plan. While both the Des

government will be taken as criterions.
it is the intention of the city clubs be-
hind the movement to institute radical
innovations. After the charter revi-
sion, the people will pass upon it at a
special election.
