ROOSEVELT SPEAKS.

Elk President Roosevelt has
finally broken the silence by en-
dorsing in part the Taft admin
istration. Last Saturday the
commission feature of the tariff,
and the maximum and minimum
principal were upheld as being
excellent, but should be further
extended. The News believes
that these two features OF the
recent tariff should be accepted
by both parties alike and pro
vision made for further extern
sion of the commissions power.
While the congress will hardly
curtail by it's own accord, the
power as tariff maker, we be-
ieve that before many years
congress will be a secondary
power in tariff making. No just
tariff can 0e made where every
section is pulling for its own in
terest alone. The commission
plan may not solve the problem,
nut it looks as if it were a step.

Howe's Great London Shows

"A large elephant, as gentle as a
kitten and trained to act in the ring
like our Babe, is worth $1,000 or
even more. very much doubt if
the management would take $40, 900
for Duchess. From a commercial
point of view, very few men are
worth as much as such elephants.
1t is pity that the elephant can
not express himself by means Of ar
ticulate speech. He is certainly the
most intelligent OF beasts. He has
a brain two and half times the size
of that of a man, and, what is still
more significant, it is richly convo-
luted. He learns readily and never
forgets. He is not mere cipher of
other men S thoughts and acts, either,
but W hen occasion demands he can do
his own thinking. One of the ele-
plants with the show, known as the
Duchess, was one day trying to
push big cage into place in the
menagerie tent, but the ground was
soft. and the harder she pushed the
deeper the wheels went into the mud.
Finally she stepped back and seemed
to deliberate for a moment. Then she
stepped forward again, took hold oil
the wheels with her trunk and gave
a mighty lift, and at the same time
a push with her head, and the cage
came out of the mud"

Nearly twice as many eggs are

Of New York and vicinity as there
we're a year ago This is shown by

The total quantity of eggs IN

The daily receipts are exceeding
the consumption by thousands OF
cases. so that the supplies in stor-
age will continue to pile up for
some time, it is expected.
A year ago 615, 900 cases OF eggs
we're in storage in the same e
warehouse. The best Of the stor-
age eggs from the West are selling
at 2l3 TO 221 cents a dozen in whole
sale lots, and eggs from this State
and Pennsylvania are quoted as
high as % cents in the wholesale
market. These prices are from one
to two cents higher than last year.
A large part Of the eggs that
have been going into the ware
houses in the last month are to be
kept until fall and winter, wher
freshly laid eggs will be scarce and
prices, it is expected, will be high.
