FIRST TAFT RECEPTION.
Refreshments Are Served and 1900
Guests Invited.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The first and
probably the most brilliant OF the for
NAL state receptions planned for the
present White House season was given
last night by the president and Mrs.
Taft III honor of the diplomatic corps.
Some 1,oo0 guests were Invited. Mrs.
Taft was present throughout the ev
enlng. The reception marked quite q
radical change in the manner of con-
Quoting the great state affairs at the
White House and for the first time in
many administrations refreshments
were served. The blue room CIRCLE
which hourished during the Roosevelt
administration when a selected coterie
Of social friends were invited "behind
the line was entirely done away with.
The number of invitations issued to
each of the big receptions has been
materially reduced by Mrs. Taft, whose
idea is said to be that every guest
present should feel himself or herself
the personal guest of the president and
his wife and all should be treated alike.
In the receiving line were only the
vice president and Mrs. Sherman, the
of their households.
The guests NJ assembled in the east
room. The diplomats, in Respondent
uniforms. and accompanied by their
suites, gave to the reception the color
and brilliancy of a court function. The
refreshments. served in the state din
ing room. consisted of creamed oys-
ters salads. ices and champagne punch.

ONLY ONE MESSAGE.
President Taft Again Changes Ills
Plans After a Conference.

washington. Jan. 5.-After a confer
once with Senators Aldrich and ROOT
and Attorney General W1ckershanl'
President Taft decided to revert TO ms
original plan of combining his views as
TO amendments to the Interstate COM
merce and antitrust laws in one mes
sage. which he will send to congress
Thursday noon.
This decision on the part of President
Taft is said to be final The combined
message will be about 5000 words in
length. The president had been urged
by some senators to treat the two SUD-
iects in separate papers and announce
ment was made that this would be
done The time that the messages
should go to congress has been sub
jected to frequent changes owing to
various consultations the president de-
sired to have. The conferences have
been completed and so have the mes
sages, which combined in the one docu-
ment were sent to the government
printing office last night.
At the conclusion of the conference
between the president and Senators
Aldrich and Root it was announced the
presidents proposed railroad legislation
would be given the right of way in both
house and senate. The further assur-
ance was given that the proposed
change in the railroad laws will be
written in the statute books during the
session. There will be some opposition
TO the rather drastic legislation which
the president will recommend but it
will be overcome, it is said, and the
president will be supported in both
branches of congress.
Senators Root and Aldrich went to
the White House to discuss various
features of the legislative program for
the present session as we'll as the spe-
cial message. The discussion as to the
railroad legislation being given prece-
dence over all measures was the only
definite conclusion reached at this time
AS to the ship subsidy, the postal saw
ings banks, the changes in the conser-
walton laws and the proposed federal
Incorporation act, neither senator would
say as to when they would be given
consideration. The president will trans
init to congress on Friday the report of
the attorne- general and all the papers

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Advocated as Means of Keeping Money
of Immigrants Here.

Washington. Jan. 5.-Postal saw
ings banks as the cure for the for
warding of S75,O0o.000 yearly to Eu-
ropean countries by foreign workmen
employed in the United States is the
opinion advanced by Auditor Chance
of the postoftice department in his an
nual report. Auditor Chance believes
the great outflow of wealth is due
largely to the immigrants lack of con-
fidence in the safety and security of
private American financial institu-
lions.
The stupendous total of $640,640,-
81, representing the surplus earnings
Of foreign laborers employed in the
gigantic Industrial and commercial in
dustries of the United States, has been
sent abroad since 1890. A total of
S76,622,629 was sent abroad by for
eign workmen in 1909. The millions
sent out of this country have steadily
increased each year in proportion to
the influx of foreign immigrants.
Most of the amounts sent abroad
last year found Judgement in Austria,
Great Britain, Hungary. Norway,
Italy and Russia. Postal officials de-
clare in transferring their money to
foreign countries foreigners prefer
money orders to drafts on banks.

USING GOOD EQUIPMENT.
New Kansas Road Purchases Fine
Passenger Cars.

Garden City, Kan, Jan. 5.-The
new passenger equipment of the Gar
den City, Gulf & Northern railroad
was manufactured by the Hicks Lo-
connective Car works of Chicago and
embody the highest art of car con-
struction. There is nothing cheap or
second class about them. The outside
is built of cherry and the interior is
finished in golden oak The effect is
heightened by delicate olive roof. The
shade which the cars are painted is a
dark yellow. Although some roads use
the black co1ored coaches exclusively,
many roads especially in the east favor
the former shade. As it is the new
cars of the railroad here harmonic
perfectly and are neat and attractive
throughout.
One of them is combination coach
and baggage car. The baggage part,
however, is so arranged that it may be
employed as a smoking room in the
event of light baggage haul. The
other coach has on the rear an OBJ
servation platform. which is ample for
the accommodation of IL or 5 pas
sengers. This is very handsomely
decorated and adds much to the ap-

MILK AT Nine CENTS.
Will Enable the Trust to Multiply
Dividends by Three.

New York, Jan. 5.-Milk at the in

enable the large milk companies to
pay dividends three times as high as
the big ones of recent years. This is
the assertion of counsel for the state
in the milk investigation which was
resumed here today and it was ex-

THE JAP WAR CLOUD.

This is also the seaso nof the year
a month or so before the converting of
congress, when that much worked old
boyle, the possibility of war between
the United States and Japan is rushed
to the fore and made to work overtime.
The war scare takes on varied forms.
The Japs are dissatisfied with the way
their countrymen are treated by the
states of the Pacific coast. The Japs
need the Philippines so they will have
plenty of room in colonies close by
to care for their ever increasing popu-
Iation. The Japs are launching battle
ships by the score to be prepared to
take possession of the Panama canal
and to devastate the Pacific coast.
These moves must be met say the
alarmists. The United States must in
crease the size of her navy and put
a fleet in the Pacific that will be SUI
perior a couple of times over to any
thing in the way of fleet Japan can
float The United States must increase
the size of her army, and so on and
so forth without end.
But it's all ''bunc," as the vandevil-
lians say. It's all Interior talk on the
part of those who have their eyes on
the treasury of the United States. AS
the time for congress to convene draws
at hand, there must be something bet
ter than a good excuse for larger and
| larger appropriations for the army and
navy What is finer in this line than
a Japanese war scare? Nothing to be
sure, except that it has been worked
so much of late that the people are
getting on to its curves. And it is nc
wonder that they are beginning tC
voice their sentiments against it.
There is no reason on the face Gods
good earth why Japan and the United
| States should GO to war about any
thing. Nor is there, in reality, any
grounds on which to base such a wal
scare. The relations between the Uni
ted States and Japan are on the friend
lest of footings. But the United State:

Price of Furs Leaping.

Seal and mink will soon be a luxury.
for the very rich only. The former is
40 per cent higher than last year, and
the latter 25 per cent. Even the much
despised skunk, known to the polite
world as brown marten, has the salts
faction of seeing his outer coat 70 per
cent more costly than it was IL months
ago.
These higher prices reflect the grow
ing scarcity of fur-bearing animals.
The government is trying to save the
seals by prohibiting their capture for
years after May 1 next, but with the
smaller animals the case is much more
hopeless.
The commonplace muskrat skin, that
used to go begging at 10 cents, now
commands IS, and the coon skin has
jumped from 80 cents to 81. Even
opossum pelts bring a dollar, where
they once brought a dime.

nishing furs to the woman of moderate
means. 1t remains for the various
states to protect the smaller fur-bear-
ing animals before they join the ranks

cided to appoint Assistant District At

assistant attorney general of the Uni

bear marks of verisimilitude. Though
the appointment might cause some sur
prise in sections of the country where
he is but little known, it would not
do so here. Such a recognition of the
chacter and abilities of Mr.. Lewis
would meet with general approval, as
did his appointment to the responsible
position which for several years he has
filled with high credit. From the time
he entered Amherst college he has
shown the qualities of leadership, and
these were recognized by making him
captain of the football team and class
orator in his senior year. The honors
that he has received he has earned. He

PRoH1BTToRY ENFORCEMENT.

In an enforcement of the prohibitory
law which involved the arrest and con-
viction of a porter on a railroad train
for selling liquor in a buffet car while
the train was in Kansas. the porter
insists he was tricked into the sale by
the purchaser claiming to be ill and
needing whisky badly. This is just as
emphaticaIly denied by the agent for
the state temperance society who bought
the liquor, caused the arrest and secured
the conviction. But the fact will not
down that these practices of inveigling
men into making sales OF, liquor to pro
cure their arrest for prohibitory viola
tions have been INDUCED in in Kan
sas And it is such acts as these on
the part of the over-zealous enthusl-
asts for prohibitory enforcement which
bring the law into disrepute among
many who would otherwise favor 1t.
The average man hates deceit and
treachery, even when it is used to pro-
vide punishment for those disposed to
violate laws.
And another thing. If the principles
of common law apply to the administra-
ton of the prohibitory law, as they
surely ought to do, there is no reason
why a man who buys liquor from an
other who is willing to sell it unlaw-
fully, should not be held to be equally
culpabIe for the violation of the law.
Assuredly a violation of the law would
not be possible without the willingness
of a man to buy as well as to sell,
and the buyer thereby becomes party
to the commission of the crime, a
particeps criminis, as the law books
saw. ANY able lawyer will give an
opinion to this effect. The people have
been educated otherwise, to be sure.
Scarcely anybody thinks for minute
that the buyer of liquor in a locality
| where its sale is prohibited helps to
create a violation of the law. But he
does. An application of common sensc
/ is all that is needed to establish this
| fact. And common sense is the foun-
dation on which rests common law.
There are no specific provisions in
the prohibitory law providing for the
punishment of persons who buy liquor
| from those who are of mind to sell
unlawfully Nor is there in the penal
| code any specific provision to apply TIC
such an act. There well might be such
a provision in the prohibitory law
And its enforcement as stringently as
is the enforcement against the illega
sellers of liquor would soon make pro-
hibition more of a fact in Kansas thar
| it is. Perhaps such a specific provis-
ion is not needed, as the rule of law
is that the party to a crime is deserv-
ing of the same punishment as the one
who actually commits it.
