NEW TARIFF LAW
BEST EVER PASSED
Taft Declares g. o. p. Has Kept Faith
With Voters.

CHICAGO, .ILL.-Special.-
Chicago Tribune Saturday prints
views of President Taft ON the
Republican party's conduct, the
tariff and other questions, John
Callan O'Laughlin, friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, having Sc
cured an interview with MIR. Taft
at Beverley.
Though not directly quoted a.
is plain that Mr.. Taft believes the
Payne-Aldrich tariff the best ever
passed, and holds that the G. o.
II. has kept faith with the voters.
He gives the insurgents no
credit for accomplishments.
The President is not quoted,
owing TO the rule which applies
TO interviews with Presidents of
the United States, but his position
il made perfectly clear.
In brief, Mr.. Taft believes:
The Republican party is the party
of execution.
The regulars" and not the "'insur-
gents are the ones who accomplished
the progress.
Has FULFILLED Pledges.
The party has fulfilled all pledges.
1t has been efficient and effective
in administration
1t has enacted wise and progressive
legislation in the interests of the peo-
Pile.
Inc present is the best the
United States ever had.
Under the circumstances IL is meet
that the people of the nited States
should give the party formal endorse
ment by continuing it in power.
According to Taft the people have
little idea Of the Importance Of the le-
gal problems which will come up for
solution during the next Congress.
the last of the administration.
Before December LIST the Supreme
Court will have handed down its de-
cisions in the Standard Oil cases and
the tobacco trust cases.
If the Government be beaten, he
believes, there will be a universal de-
mand for the strengthening of the
antitrust laws
Has Solution Framed.
Mr.. Taft already has framed a So
luton of the cases in his Federal in
corporation plank for all corporations
doing an Interstate business which he
submitted in a special message last
winter.
Further conservative reforms along
the lines OF conservation of natural
resources are planned and more econ
omies in Government are on the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Taft does not favor the ap-
pointment of a tariff commission, but
one OF the things praised most high
ly by him is the new tariff court
The postal savings law, the conser-
walton law, which enables the with
drawal of 10000, 900 acres of coal and
water power sites; the campaign pub
licity law, and several others came in
for praise.
President Taft does not believe Can
non is a real issue any more. He de-
clares he could not again be elected
to the position he now holds
Taft believes the party should be
encouraged by its acts and upon the
presentation he makes. he asks how
approval well can be withheld.

DEFENDS MEMORY
OF DIR. STUART
INTIMATE FRIEND OF MURDER.
ED PHYSICIAN TELLS
OF CASE.

WINCHESTER, VA-Special.-Th
young DR.. George Murray Stuart. who
was recently shot and killed by Edna
wallace In Pittsburg. Pa, had never
been unduly friendly with the woman
is the assertion made here yesterday
by DR.. l. NJ. Mehaffey, of Pittsburg.
Dr.. Stuart's closest friend. Dr. Me-
Marcy made the following statement:
L mad known DR.. Stuart intimately
FOR the past six or seven years. He
was man of good character and
loVable disposition. His morals were
above the average OF those Of young
men or the present day. He did not
drink at all, to my certain knowledge:
he smoked moderately. and am pos
tive when I say that he was a clean
man in his relations with women
Dr. Stuart met the Wallace woman
in professional way, and performed
an operation upon her about a year
ago in Pittsburg hospital. The
woman became infatuated with the
young surgeon. He reSolutely refused
TO have anything to do with her, and
have often heard him say over the
telephone, when she would call him,
I have told you that don't want to
have anything to do with you
There is not the smallest doubt
that the woman entered DR.. Stuart's
rooms by means of keys which she
found in the open desk in his down.
town office, and shot him behind the
ear as he lay asleep. She was driven
to the deed by her mad infatuation
for the young man, and the knowl-
edge that he was to have been mar
ried to Miss Alice Pauline Simpson,
of Laws, Va, on August 10th, threw
her into a frenzy. After killing him
she turned the pistol upon herself"
