ONE CENT POSTAGE.
VIII Be Reality Says Taft, Before He
Quits--Raise Rates on Magazines.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2.--Presi-
dent Taft and Postmaster General
Hitchcock conferred upon the recon-
mendations the President will make
to congress regarding change in the
second class postage rates as affecting
magazines and other periodicals.
Mr.. Taft will recommend that the
magazines be required to pay the
present rate of l cent pound on all
reading matter and much higher
rate to be determined later, on the
advertising pages. Each magazine will
be required to send copy of its cur
rent issue to the postoffice each week
or month as the case may be- The
reading matter and the advertisement
sections will be separately weighed
and the amount of postage computed.
Newspapers will not be affected.
President Taft is looking forward to
a cent rate for letter postage and
hopes to recommend it before he
leaves the White House.

The Political Outlook.

Recent elections seem to denote
that the demagogues and blather-
sixties who have sought to mislead
the rank -and-fle of the Republican
party are losing their malignant in
tiuence with the party voters.
A few weeks ago we were being
told by the muckraker magazines
and the progressive" leaders that
there was no doubt as to their fac
tion winning i'm the Ohio primary,
and that Senator Dick would be
turned down Instead. the insurg-
ents didn't have "a look in" at the
Ohio primary. and Senator Dick had
an overwhelming majority. Then
we were told that Iowa and South
Dakota would give immense majori-
ties for the insurgent cause. The
heavy fight was to defeat stalwart
congressman. Well. the primaries
have been held In Iowa there were
contests in but three cong ressional
districts. and the regular republic
cans won in two of them. Bitter
opposition was made to Governor
Carroll for reelection, Dolliver and
Cummins denouncing him through
{h1 ,fnt l,,\ %h< e
Iowa could not be fooled. and the
country precincts brought in such
majorities for Carroll that he was
reelected. The chief fight in South
Dakota was against congressman
Burke and Martin, regular Republi-
cans; but they were both reelected
by large majorities, and the state
ticket was divided.

Both Smith, of Iowa, and Dalzell,

places thereon by Speaker Cannon.
Representative Boutell is one of Speak

in nomination for President at the
, Chicago convention in 1908. Mr.. Law

a close friend of Speaker Cannon. Mr..

Opportunity May Be Afforded to
Study How Vessel Was Destroyed.
The National House Of Representa-
tives has passed bill providing for
the raising of the hulk OF the Inflated
battle ship Maine, which was sunk in
the harbor of Havana in 1898. If the
Senate approves the bill the opportun-
ity will be afforded to recover the bod
les of any of the dead sailors that
may be within the wreck and also fur
nish way for an examination to de-
termine if possible the manner in
which the vessel was destroyed.
The bodies of sailors that might be
recovered would be inferred in Airing
ton Cemetery on the Virginia shore,
opposite Washington. The mast OF the
Maine would be erected in the ceme-
terry near the graves OF the Maine
dead
AS passed by the House the bill was
changed in its general terms, so as to
authorize the work to be done under
the direction of the engineer corps OF
the army, with the consent Of the re-
public of Cuba By the insistance OF
Mr.. Sulzer of New York, the bill was
worded to require the raising as well
as the removal" Of the wreck, so that
an examination could be made of the
hulk to determine the manner OF the
vessels destruction.
