him in loving touch with our homes
and hearts. He will be held in ever
lasting remembrance by true and
loyal friends for he was worthy the

richly and graciously endowed. both
in head and heart. He combined
those most excellent qualities that
made him a cultured gentleman. a
staunch friend. a wise counsellor and

trating the most intricate problems.
He read books and studied men, was

in his ability to convey truth and in
simple and natural way to throw
it upon the canvas so that all could

ministry were a benedlction to his

orite chair were draped in black.
The services were conducted by

THE TRIBuNE,s POLL.

The Chicago Tribune's poll of the
middle western states on the sub
ject of Joe Cannon rings true to
public sentiment, regarding that
stateman's personal popularity; but
not so much can be said of the re-
suit of its poll on the Payne tariff
bill, which it disingenuously refers
to as the "Aldrich-Cannon" tariff
Possibly, not consciously free trad
ers, the Chicago papers are percep-
tibly influenced by the big Chicago
importers, who for selfish business
and the question asked the editors
In half dozen states by the Tribune
concerning the tariff was unfair and
coald not be answered in the affirm
ative without an explanation. The
question asked was:
do you indorse the Aldrich-
Cannon tariff law?"
The answer yes. would imply that
the writer is perfectly satisfied with
the tariff. President Taft expressed
himself as not entirely satisfied;
yet there is no doubt that the tariff
did reduce the rates on the neces-
saries of life. it gave US free trade
with the Philippines, it provided for
the maximum and minimum sched-
ules, whereby for the first time we
have secured fair treatment from
Germany, and are on the eve OF a
tariff settlement with Canada; it
includes the clause permitting gov
ernment inspection of corporation
books so that some basis for fed
eral control of interstate commerce
is assured. and it provided for 3
commission to prepare data for a
further and more perfect revision OF
the tariff itself

corporate books has produced the

would be compelled TO flee the state.
Gov. Hughes opportunity to take
a vigorous hand in further and more
unsparing exposures than have been
planned in the Allds-Conger scandal
will probably come toward the end
Of the week. IL will follow the de-
velopments OF line of questions
that will be asked Senator Aids In
the course OF his examination.
The Land Deals.
The question will pertain to Aids
knowledge OF deals by the land pur-
chasing board In the acquisition OF
additional territory for the expans-
ion of the forest reserve. The board
Is composed of three members.
whose official conduct is brought
under the direct strutiny OF the gov
ernor The present board Is not ac-
cused of practicing the slipshod
methods OF It's predecessors. where
by the state has been mulcted OF
hundreds of thousands Of dollars for
the benefit of politicians OF hish and
low degree. Special efforts Will be
made to train the history and trans
actions OF various groups OF specu-
lators in these lands.
One OF this group is known as
the Racquet Falls Land company.
Its principal officers are EXON
eressman Lewis w. Emerson. whose
brother James is now a member OF
the senate. and George NJ. Ostrander
of Albany The Racquet Falls Land
lrompany Is said - have made nun
dred thousand dollars year until
a comparatively recent date. In ae-
Gniring lands at sl4 TO s15 an acre
land selling them to the state for $50
and more. One OF It's largest single
uansactions was that OF the $4,000
acre tract purchased from the sward
webb domain in the Adirondacks.
| Whether Senator Aids or any
other member Of the senate can
throw light on these transactions is
not known. but the subject will be
Sufficiently ventilated before the
close OF the inquiry to force Gov,
Hughes official attention.
Asks Aids To Explain.
Specifically. Senator Aids will
probably be asked 10 explain how he
Is alleged TO have come into control
OF an island In Little Loon lake. near
Beaver river station. In Herklmer
county. which is supposed to be the
property of the state and Is used by
the senate leader as his summer
home.
But the chief value OF this line OF
inquiry viii be to develop the stu
alton as to the states forest reserve.
1t is here that Governor Hughes will
have a chance to recommend an in
vestigation. II the Investigation
should be made. II is confidently be-
lieved its results will involve some
OF the biggest machine politicians
in the state In very questionable
deals by which they have acquired
summer homes in the mountains.
