PREPARES ANOTHER BIG LEois-
IATlVE eRIsT FOR NEXT
SESSION TO GRIND.
FEVORS CURRENCY REFORM
Message win Recommend Congress to
Pass Law to Restrict Development
of Water Power on Public
Lands by Private Capital.

Beverly, Mass. President Taft gives
promise of delivering to congress in
his annual message an abundant grist
for the legislative mill. 1t was learned
that the president will call for a long
list of new statutes.
Efforts to promote economical ad-
ministrations of the government will
be emphasized in the message.
The message will recommend that
congress pass a law that will permit
the development of water power on
public lands by private capital, but
that the government shall keep a re-
straining hand on the concessions in
order to prevent eXtortion or monop-
oily.
Another hard problem concerns the
disposition to be made of the stores
of coal, oil and phosphates on public
lands. Congress disposed of one
phase of the coal question, but the
disposition of the Alaska coal depos-
its and other problems remain.
Renews Two Propositions.
Two propositions that have hereto
fore been strongly urged upon con-
gress by the president will be repeat
ed in the message-an amendment
for the Sherman antitrust law and
federal charters for corporations. The
proposed amendment to the Sherman
law would permit railroads to enter
into limited agreements as to rates,
subject to the approval of the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
Taft believes that the granting Of
federal charters to large corporations
would give the government direct con-
troll
Great progress will be reported by
the message in the work on the Pan.
ANA camel, and it's immediate fortif.
cation will be recommended, Con-
gress will be urged to adopt some
measure for the improvement of the
dwindling merchant marine.
New Form of Government for Alaska.
Senators and representatives Will
be asked to consider the question Of
surrendering their privilege of max
ing certain appointments, in order
that more government employees may
be PLACED on the civil service roll
Other suggestions, in all probable
ity, will include a new form of gov.
eminent for Alaska, strengthening Of
the antitrust laws, a law governing
the issuing of injunctions without no.
tice AMI currency reforms.

The Social Breakfast.

A London newspaper wonders why

fast. The reason is to be found in the
state of mind that usually possesses
the free and independent citizen at
that hour in the morning. a state Of
mind that makes him unbearable to
himself and to every one who comes
near him. Presumably it was not ever
so. for invitations to breakfast were
once common enough. and not so long
ago either Mr.. Gladstone used to
have guests to breakfa every Thurs
day morning as recently as 1884, and
1t was thought sufficient to supply tea
and coffee eggs, bread and butter and
perhaps some cold meat But the
really solid breakfast had come into
fashion long before then. and it is
said that the English learned the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley, when he
was ambassador to England. found
that the substantial breakfast was
grievously opposed to the simpler GUS

Taste Is Localized.

Taste is curiously localized in the
mouth. Put lump OF sugar on the
tip of your tongue and you will find it
distinctly sweet. Then try it halfway
back on the tongue and you will find
it tasteless. All sweet or aromatic
substances. such as wine, sugar and
coffee, can be properly appreciated by
the front half of the tongue. a piece of
knowledge that every true connoisseur
applies when he sips instead of taking
a mouthful. With most other sub
stances, however, the reverse is true
In these cases the tip of the tongue
serves only for touching-it is the back
part that tastes. The sides of the
mouth, too. are quite insensibe to GER
tain substances not tasteless. Put
some salt or vinegar between the teeth
and the cheek and you will find them
absolutely favorless.-London Stand

WATCHING SHERIFF FIGHT
Crookston Sees Pretty Political Scrap
in Beltrami County.

The Crookston Times today prints
the following:
Much local interest has been
aroused here in the fight for the
sheriff's office in Beltrami county, in
which A. B. Hazen was renominated
on the republican ticket while ex-
Sheriff Thomas Bailey has filed also.
He is democrat strictly speaking,
but appears to be making this race
at the solicitation of those who are
bitterly opposed to Hazen for various
reasons.
mr.. Bailey served as sheriff for
at least three terms, and has a very
strong following throughout Beltrami
county and is also specially strong
in Bemidji. Former Deputy Sheriff
Andrew Johnson also has strong
following, and as he was defeated by
Hazen it is very probable that his
following will now swing to Bailey
where the feeling was very bitter.
Thus before the votes are counted
there will be all manner of dust kick
ed up in the fight, and it is certain
ty that both Candidates will know
they have been in a fight before

ROOSEVELT IN BOSTON
Declares it Would Be Calamity to Lose
Lodge.

Boston, Oct. 22-Roosevelt spoke
here last night in behalf of the re-
publican party of Massachusetts. He
said it would be calamity to the
nation if Senator Lodge should fail
of reelection. The sen ator, he said,
was friend of progressive legislation
and that there was no difference of
opinion as to the basic principle of
production, as the republican party
stood solidly on the tariff commission
plan as contained in its last national
platform.
The colonel made no reference to
the Payne-Aldrich bill confning his
remarks to an endorsement of the
republican state platform, and of the
tariff board scheme. He said that
he was advocating the same political
principles in his speech of tonight
that he had advocated in all of his
speeches during the summer, from
the Rocky mountains to the eastern
seaboard.
Roosevelt's reception in Boston
was enthusiastic.
