CASH..

It's money here and money there, it's
money all around;
Whichever way a man may turn he
hears that clnking sound.
He goes into a dry goods store, and
finds he has been rash:
The clerk who waits on him is crying:
Cash
Here, cash,
oh, cash."
He goes upon the Board of Trade, and
makes a little deal,
Puts up his margin like a man, and
thinks it's for his veal
The market goes this way and that; it
moves as quick as flash,
And soon he hears his broker calling:
Cash!
Oh. cash!
More cash."
He tries his luck at buying stocks, and
makes a careful plan
That seems to give him every chance
to die wealthy man.
The stocks go here, the stocks go
there; they move with vim and dash,
And in the end he hears with sorrow:
Cash!
Poor cash!
No cash."
He then decides that real estate is
much more in his line;
He buys lot that's clear out West,
and thinks his prospects fine,
The town is pictured booming, but the
boom ends with a crash,
And nothing's left but running taxes:
Cash!
More cash.
Good cash."
At last ne enters politics. and finds the
cry the same:
The call is still for money with which
to buy his fame,
And even when he hurries home, con-
vinced he has been rash,
His wife thus greets him most Sc
verely:
Cash!
John, cash!
More cash."

TAFT DEFENDS THE PAYNE TARIFF IN MESSAGE

there are. however. unfortunately In
stances where foreign governments
deal arbitrarily with American inter
ests within their jurisdiction in man
ner injurious and inequitable.
The policy of broader and closer
trade relations with the Dominion of
Canada which was initiated in the ad-
1ustment OF the maximum and mini
mum provisions of the tariff act OF
August, 1909, has proved mutually
beneficial 1t justifes further efforts
for the REIMBURSEMENT of the CONNER
cial relations of the two countries so
that their commerce may follow the
channels natural TO contiguous coun-
tries and be commensurate with the
steady expansion OF trade and indus
try on both sides of the boundary line.
The reciprocation on the part of the
Dominion government of the sentiment
which was expressed by this govern
ment was followed in October by the
suggestion that it would be glad to
have the negotiations which had been
temporarily suspended during the sum-
mer resumed. In accordance with this
suggestion the secretary Of state by
my direction dispatched two represent
atives Of the department of state as
special commissioners to Ottawa to
confer with representatives of the Do
minion government. They were au--
thorized to take such steps for formu-
lating reciprocal trade agreement as
might be necessary and to receive and
consider any propositions which the
Dominion government might care to
submit
Pursuant to the instructions issued
conferences were held by these COM
missioners with officials of the Domin-
ion government at Ottawa in the early
part OF November.
The negotiations were conducted on
both sides in a spirit of mutual accom-
mediation. The discussion of the COM
mon commercial interests of the two
countries had for its object a satisfac-
tory basis for a trade arrangement
which offers the prospect of a freer in
terchange for the products of the Unit
ed States and of Canada. The confer
ences were adjourned to be resumed in
Washington in January, when it is
, hoped that the aspiration of both gov
ernments for a mutually advantageous
measure of reciprocity will be realized.

serve that this additional protocol IS
being signed without objection by the
powers signatory to the original con-
vention and that there is every reason
to believe that the international prize
court will be soon established.
The identic circular note also pro
posed that the international prize court
when established should be endowed
with the functions of an arbitral court
of justice under and pursuant to the
recommendation adopted by the last
Hague conference. The replies receiv-
ed from the various powers to this pro-

may be accomplished within the rea-
sonably near future.
1t is believed that the establishment
of these two tribunals will go long
way toward securing the arbitration Of
many questions which have heretofore
threatened and at times destroyed the
peace of nations.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Estimates For Next Years Expenses.
Where Savings Have Been Made.

Every effort has been made by each
department chief to reduce the esti-
mated cost of his department for the
ensuing fiscal year ending June 80,
1912. l say this in order that congress
may understand that these estimates
thus made present the smallest sum
which will maintain the departments,
bureaus and offices Of the government
and meet its other Obligations under
existing law and that a cut OF these
estimates would result in embarrassing
the executive branch OF the govern
ment in the performance of its duties.
This remark does not apply to the
river and harbor estimates. except 10
those for expenses OF maintenance and
the meeting of obligations under au-
.thorized contracts. nor does It apply
to the public building bill nor TO the
navy building program. or course as
to these congress could withhold any
part or all of the estimates for them
without Interfering with the discharge
OF the ordinary obligations Of the gov
eminent or the performance Of the
functions Of its departments. bureaus
and offices.
The final estimates for the year end
ing June 80. 1912. as they have been
sent to the treasury on Nov. 20 OF this
year for the ordinary expenses Of the
government, including those for public
buildings. rivers and harbors and the
navy building program, amount to $780,

he had not seen a game of cricket on
the White Lot since 1863. Harry Chad

YALE GOLFER WINS
INDIVIDUAL TITLE
Robert Hunter Makes Brilliant
Finish and Defeats F. C.

MANCHESTER, Mass, September a.
"A missed tee shot, after thirty eight
holes of steady and often brilliant play
ing, cost Harvard the individual and
intercollegiate golf championship to
day, Robert f. Hunter of Yale, men,
Der of the Midlothian Club of Chicago.
defeating F. c. Davidson of Harvard
in the final round, l up in 80 holes. The
victory gives Yale its seventh individual
golf championship, while the team hon.
ors in the intercollegiate Association
also go to the New Haven college this
year.
An unfortunate mishap on the thirty
ninth tee probably cost the Harvard
man the match. Just as his club was
descending the ball rolled off the little
mound before he could check his blow.
The accident seemed to shake up the
Harvard mans game. and Hunter got
the deciding hole in four strokes, while
Davidson took six.
Hunters brilliant work in the earlier
part of the match, which took six hours
and fifteen minutes to play. and was
finished in the dark, had stalled off defeat
which seemed inevitable. AT the twenty
fifth hole the match looked like q gift to
the Harvard player, who was four up at
that point Here the young Chicago
golfer spurted brilliantly and squared
the match at the thirty-fourth hole and
thence TO the thirty eighth the holes were
haNed. Then came DavidsonS mishap
