Confers With Commission Chairma,

The President already has had two con-
ferences with Chairman III. c. Emery of
the tariff commission this summer. The
first OF these was on board the yacht
Mayhower at Bar Harbor late In July,
and the second was at Burgess point two
weeks ago. The President proposes to
have the entire tariff board meet him
here in Beverly some time in September.
Prof. Emery recently spent several
months abroad. James B. Reynolds, a
member of the commission, has been
abroad for a long time. There Ii every
reason to believe that a preliminary re-
port from the commission will be avail
able this fall.
Representative Ebenezer ]. Hill Of Con-
necticut, a member of the House COM
mittee on ways and means. had a con-
ference with the President ten days or
more ago. He agreed. II Is said, that a
revision Of the tariff by individual sched-
ules was the best possible solution Of the
puzzle

New Rule to Govern.

Mr. Taft proposes to meet this with the
recommendation to Congress that before
any schedule Is taken up for further con-
sideration q rule shall be passed. both by
the House and by the Senate, providing
that amendments to certain schedule
OF the tariff shall be In order. and that
any amendments not germane to that
particular schedule shall be declared out
OF order. 1t Is believed that with q work
able majority In the two houses Of Con-
gress and with the insurgents lined I'D
with the regulars for the program out
lined by the President there will be little
or no difficulty in putting through such q
rule
From the very first President TAFT has
been deeply interested In the work OF the
new tariff commission. He regarded the
creation OF that board as one of the most
important provisions Of the new tariff
act, and one OF the reasons for his dec
laration that 1t was the best tariff act
ever passed.
The President takes the ground that IL
was impossible to revise the tariff i'm
mediately after the republican platform
was adopted, and to revise IL at the same
time on a basis OF the difference in the
cost OF production at home and abroad.
He believes that substantial progress
was made in the Payne-Aldrich act. and
now that the tariff commission has gotten
its inquiries well under way II soon will
be possible to take up the individual
schedules az fast as the facts and figures
are available and revise them actually on
the basis declared for in the party plat
form.

UNABLE TO COMPEL
CUTTING Of WEEDS
Grow on. Vacant Lots Faster
Than Officials Can Hunt
Up Owners.

In spite OF the protests that are being
made by persons who live near . growth
Of eight or ten feet of weeds. the District
Of Columbia il finding itself unable to force
any one to cut the noxious growths. The
weed law At present has all the appear
ances OF q dead letter, and instead OF
weeds being trimmed to a height of four
inches. there are plenty OF vacant lots in
the city which would hide . regiment OF
National Guardsmen in broad daylight.
Because OF the indifference the public
has shown In the matter Of keeping neat
ly trimmed vacant lots. an inspector was
assigned today to follow up such cases as
had come to the attention OF the health
ofiicer by means OF letters OF complaint.
Warnings Do No Good.
Two hundred letters OF warning were
sent out recently by the health depart
ment- Many Of these went to out-of-
town owners Of lots, who tore the
notices to pieces and forgot all about
it, The weeds on these lots may be
cut down, and the cost charged to the
owner through the assessors ONCE.
AS to the owners OF lots residing In
the city, none OF them seem to have
suffered anything because Of the warn
ing that the Police Court will fine them
$40 a day for every day that weeds
are left standing after they have been
warned once. The chief inspector Of
the health department said today that
men. and that his men were getting
evidence, and that the evidence was all
being presented to the Police Court.
At the Police Court, Gus A. Schuldt.
assistant corporation counsel. said that
he could not remember any cases being
presented at all, with the exception OF
two which were being held up for some
obscure reason.

Regarded as Shrewd Move.

Political observers regard this as about
the shrewdest move that has been made
during the present administration. 1t Of
fers an excellent opportunity for the In
surgents and regulars to get together
in the campaign. and President Taft has
been exceedingly anxious to And a ground
upon which the different factions could
meet without embarrassment to either.
The principal fight Of the insurgents
was upon certain schedules Of the tariff
bill. President Taft is meeting them
more than half way in admitting that
individual schedules need further revi-
sion. At the same time he is backing
up the regulars In that he believes they
did the best they possibly could with the
unreliable Information that was in their
hands.
With the creation of the tariff board
under the Payne-Aldrich act and the en-
largement Of its power by provision Of
the last Congress. the President believes
q way has been opened to put the tariff
on q scientific basis for the first time In
the history of the country.
The objection has been raised and urged
upon the President that the opening Of
an individual schedule of the tariff would
mean the possible throwing open Of the
entire tariff act. with another long de-
bate and a stirring up Of conditions gen.
orally.

BEVERLY. Mass, August 24.-Presi-
dent Taft's keynote for the coming cam
paign became known here last night
The President will favor further revision
Of the tariff.
While he is still convinced that the
Payne-Aldrich law is the best tariff law
the country has had up to this time,
he has at last reached the decision that
there is decided room for Improvement.
Mr.. Taft does not propose that bust
ness shall be upset by another whole
sale revision, but he will recommend to
Congress that individual schedules in the
tariff system be taken up separately
and be disposed Of on q scientific basis.
The new revision Is to be based upon
the findings Of the tariff commission a
to the cost Of production at home and
abroad. Only a fair profit is to be al
lowed the American producer. 'Extor-
tionate and unreasonable" profits. the
President declares. are to be tolerated
no longer.
The President has stated these facts
and has outlined his position in detail
in the letter he has sent to Representa-
tive Mckinley OF illinois for publica-
ton in the republican congressional text
book. The letter was mailed from Bev-
erly yesterday. The time of making II

REFLECTIONS ON HIS NOSE
It Was a Red One Before Poslam
Completely Cleared the Skin.

It Was Red One Before Poslam
Completely Cleared the Skin.
Because of the numerous reflections
on his red nose many a man possessed
of that affliction has determined to
rid himself of it, and has done so
quickly through the use of a little
poslam, the new skin remedy. natural
ly hesh-colored, which heals and hides
skin lmperfections. Although pri-
marily a remedy for eczema-stopping
the itching with first application and
rapidly restoring the health of the
Skin-pOSlam shows immediate and
surprising results when used for less
serious skin affections, such as pim-
pies, rash, blotches infiammations,
etc. Used after shaving it will soothe
and tone up the skin as no toilet pre-
Earation could possibly do.
According to the uses for which it
is employed, poslam may be purchas-
ed in 5O-cent boxes or 50 jars at The
RoSSer Drug Co. and Fred A. Snow s
also all other drug stores. A free
sample which will demonstrate it's
marvellous work will be sent upon re-
quest to anyone who will write to the
