Taft's Message Is Nearing Completion and He Con-
 fers With the Heads. NANNON THERE TOO A Chance for Tariff Measure Durlng ~ Short SessiOn-President Active.
ternational News Special


 Washington, D. G., Nov. 29.-Word S ent out today from the White House
 here the President is hard at Work 2 aSn his message, that there must be SSfill further cut in the estimates for sfhe year all along the line. sa To give effect to his orders the K Resident had the chiefs of the de- < ea seaartments before him and the rather Extraordinary picture was presented SSf the head of the nation delving 1n- aio figures and asking the why's and #eherefores of routine expenses, N|khich ordinarily the president is not sSupposed to know anything about. x Economy is to be the :watchword of Bthe forthcoming message. The Cab sanet chiefs were informed today in Scutting down their estimates. They ssay with forty million dollars last sRear they did good work, but that Sbetter still must be done this year. The %plan is to cut down expenses so that they will measure up accurately with
 the actual necessities of the govern- ment service. In addition to the members of. the Cabinet, Cha rman Alexander. eof the House Rivers and Harbors Committee, and General Blk Eby, chief of the engineers of the Ar my, were called and told of the plans of the president for retrenchment and reforms.
 Speaker Cannon and Representative Mann, of Chicago, were at the White
 House for more than an hour in consultation With the president, who had a general talk with them on the outlook of legislation in the short session. The outlook for any mater ial accomplishments in this line
 grows darker every day.
 It is now expected that the mes- sage will be ready for the printer
 on Saturday night next.
 Organization has been effected in
 both houses and the delays usually encountered in getting on their way through the selection of officers will be avoided. But in both House and Senate ranks there have been several deaths since the recess of last June, and it is expected that both bodies will adjourn immediately after being called to order as a mark of respect to the memory of deceased members. No solution of the Tariff problem is yet in sight, except that it is tc be left alone altogether If Speake Cannon did not inform the president today he will let him know sooner or later that there is little chance of getting any kind of Tariff measure through Congress at the short ses- sion. The House Leaders, as they come into Washington, are getting their faces against any attempt to revise the Tariff at the coming ses- sion.
 After Chairman Emery, of the Tar if Board, delivers his address in Chi cago next Saturday night there may be a clearing of the atmosphere but

statement that, with the cutting off
of the revenue from the licensed
saloon, the treasury of Iron county
was threatened with a deficit. If
the Rev. Swift is right and his
premises are son the square," the
saloon is a depleter of the county
treasury. But is he right and are
his premises correct? Why did he
select, to prove his assertion, the
two years when the returns from
saloon licenses were the least and
the criminal costs for one of those
years the greatest the county has
ever known? Those years will be

TAKE this from Sundays Globe
Democrat. 1t is a special, dated
Carthage, February 9Th:
Many mines in this district have
closed down in the past week,
because of the low price of ore.
For the past three weeks the ore
market has steadily declined until
now the price is only S45 per ton.
Little buying and selling has been
done in the past week, and what
mines r working are holding ore
for a higher basis. AS a result a
large surplus of ore has accumu-
lated and this district is now facing
a problem of its disposition. In
the past four weeks the price has
dropped from S53 to S45.
These are the days of the "full
dinner-pail' and TAFT prosperity.

few mossbacks and chronic

IMPRESSED with the tendency
these days to subordinate all
human rights to the Almighty
Dollar, n reads with greater in
terest and deeper thoughts these
words uttered by Abraham
Lincoln:
Labor is prior to and indie
pendent of, capital. Capital is
only the fruit of labor, and could
never have existed if labor had
not first existed. Labor is the
superior of capital, and deserves
much the highest consideration.
No men living are more worthy to
be trusted than those who toll up
from poverty; none less inclined
to take or touch aught which they
have not honestly earned. Let
them beware of surrendering a
political power which they already
possess, and which, if surrendered,
will surely be used to close the
door OF advancement against such
as they, and to fix new disabilities
and burdens upon them till all of
liberty shall be lost"
Nowadays property and special
privilege rule the party which fifty
years ago Mr.. Lincoln served and
glorifed Labor is denied the
common right of free speech and
freedom of press. We see laws
interpreted to at once condemn
labor and uphold capitalize very
laws supposed to have been en-
acted in behalf of the former. No
assumed right is sacred save that
that confers power to extort and
accumulate wealth. Capital votes
labor and labor is powerless and
is not to be considered. Abraham
Lincoln is a back number.

CHAPTER vi.

Margaret took Van Torp with her
to the performance the next day, after
impressing upon him that he was not
to speak, not to whisper, not to ap-
plaud, not to make any sound, from
the moment he entered the theater
till he left it for the dinner interval.
He was far too happy with her to
question anything she said, and
obeyed her most s~crupulously. Tween
ty-four hours earlier she would have
laughed at the idea that his presence
beside her at such a time could be not
only bearable, but sympathetic, yet
that seemed natural now. The diva
and the ex-cowboy, the accomplished
musician and the Californian miner,
the sensitive, gifted, capricious wom-
an and the iron-jawed m~oney-wolf had
found that they had something in
Wagner's last music affected
them in the same way.
Such things are not to be explained,
and could not be believed if they did
not happen again and again before
the eyes of those who know how to
see, which is quite a different thing
from merely seeing. Margaret's sud
den liking for the man she had once
so thoroughly disliked had begun
when he had whistled to her. 1t grew
while he sat beside her in the dark
ened theater. She was absorbed by
the music. the action, and the scene,
and at this second hearing she could
follow the noble poem itself; but she
was subconscious of what her neigh
Dor felt. He was not SO motionless
merely because she had told him that
he must sit still; he vas not SO in
tent on what he heard and saw, mere
ly to please her; it was not mere in
terest that held him, still less was it
curiosity. The spell was upon him;
he was entranced, and Margaret
knew it.
Even when they left the theater and
drove back to the hotel, he was silent,
and she was the first to speak. Mar
garet hated the noise and confusion
of the restaurant near the Festival
theater.
You have enjoyed it." she said.
I'm glad l brought you"
