ANOTHER STEP TAKEN IN ILL.
Nols CENTRAL CASES.

TO OPEN IN TWO YEARS
PRESIDENT SEES PANAMA CANAL
DOING BUSINESS IN 1918.
Back in Washington, Taft Says No
Extra Session of Congress Seems
Necessary-Message Soon.

Washington.-After having stopped
a day at Richmond, Va, on
his way from the Isthmus of Panama,
the president announced, soon aIfer
his arrival here, that he would make
no engagements in the next few days.
Only cabinet members and others with
whom he desires to consult regarding
his message were formally received
at the White House. The document
will be ready either the night of the
28th or early on the 29th.
The president will deal in the mes
sage with his visit to Panama, making
recommendations on a number of sub
jects he desires considered and dis
cussed, with a view to early legisla-
ton.
Coincident with his return, it was
learned President Taft considers there
is not the slightest reason for an extra
session of congress after the coming
short session.
The presidents Panama Canal
speech at Richmond was listened to
with the greatest interest. He en-
deavored, in a brief way, to describe
the conditions as he found them, and
aroused great enthusiasm by his pre-
diction that the canal would be opened
well in advance of the official date OF
opening, January /, 1915. He declared
that If necessity demanded, he be-
lieved American battleships could be
sent through the waterway by Jan
uary l, 1918.
"What the American people want"
said Mr.. Taft, "if / understand 1t, is
the prompt completion of the canal,
and they are willing to pay fairly for
it. 1t does not require the magma
ton of the engineer to see that the
canal is there and being put through
and that 1t will be a great canal"
Mr.. Taft went into some detail In
describing the problem presented by
the Chagres river, and declared the
lock and lake plan, as finally adopted,
is the most feasible for controlling the
turbulent stream.

BLOW TO TARIFF SUPPORTERS
Result of Recent Election In the Uni
ted States Has Had Effect
In Europe.

They are beginning to sit up and
take notice in Europe. The decided
change in the tone of American senti-
ment evinced in the recent election is
having an influence on the other side
of the water that is likely to prove
good for us and for our transatlantic
brethren.
Coming, as our elections did, on the
eve OF a tremendous electoral contest
In Great Britain, one of the great par
ties finds them exceedingly awkward
to explain. The party which, with ex-
quisite impudence, calls itself tariff
reform" and which in reality Is simply
the party of protection, has relied
much on the example and teaching of
the United States to sustain its pre-
tentions. The Aldrich tariff Of last
year has been held up as a proof that
the most progressive and powerful Of
industrial nations was committed aneM
to the principle Of protection, and that
England was rapidly being hemmed in.
In helpless free trade solitude, the VIC
tim of the exclusion laws of all the
rest of the world, with no weapons TOT
defend herself. 1t has elso preached
the theory that the prosperity of Amer
lea was in consequence and not, as in,
reality 1t is, in spite of the high pro-
tective tariff. And now the nationE
that has been held to be the leader
and the champion of the projections
policy has revolted against the latestL
and most Wanted embodiment of that,
policy. The effect on public sentiment
in England is bound to be very great
Again, in Germany the protectionistS
have taken the same view of our coun-t
try and are now subjected to the same,
embarrassment, while the growing SEN
timent in favor of greater freedom in
is correspondingly strength
ened. That sentiment is steadily del
veloping in the great shipping and Inv
dustrial centers Of Germany where theE
cost of living weighs heavily On indus-l
try and the restriction of foreign mari
kets caused by the protective tariff Isl
directly felt. Thus we have a remark
ably interesting situation. The revolt
against high tariff duties In this coun4
try tends to prevent Great Britain from
adopting duties of like nature and d..
rectly promotes the abatement of the
protection Nuisance in Germany, and
the prospect of trade emancipation rel
ducing the cost of living in the UnitedI
States toward the level in other coun1
tries becomes more encouraging. Such,
is the beneficent influence of sound
politics in any great community onl
the interests of all. !,
