TAFT TO SOUND KEYNOTE

Washington, ID. c., April 9.-Repub-
licans throughout the country are
awaiting with great interest the ad-
dress on "Republicanism," with which
President Taft will formally open the
Congressional campaign and sound
the keynote of the political situation,
at the banquet to be given by the
League Of Republicans clubs of the
District of Columbia, at the Arlington
tonight. The address of President
Taft and the speeches to be deliver
ed at the same banquet by Senator
Lodge, Representative Mckinley of
Illinois, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee; Represen-
tative Duncan Mckinley of California,
John Hays Hammond, president of the
National League of Republican clubs;
John A. Stewart of the New York
league and John G. Capers, national
committeeman for South Carolina
form part of the program for the de-
fensive campaign mapped out by the
leaders of the party. Convinced that
the public mind has been impressed
by attacks of various kinds in many
parts of the country and that the crit
icism cannot be permitted to pass un-
answered without injury to Republi-
can prestig, the party leaders decid-
ed to carry the war into the enemy's
country.
In these addresses some facts are to
be brought out relating to the opera
ton of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
and the enemies of that legislation
will be called upon to answer the
friends of the administration witlg
some concrete evidence for their side.

Columbus, O., April 9.--In an inter
view Senator Daniel F. Mooney OF
AuglalZe county said: House mem
bers who have so emphatically reg
istered their ssapproval of the tele-
phone lobbyists will soon be called
upon to vote on bill which is
backed by more pernicious and
powerful lobby than the Elson bin
was.
81 refer to the Yount bill, creating
state school commission to provide
uniform text books for all elementary
schools of Ohio outside cities. The
Elson telephone bill lobby was a bad
one. but the school book trust lobby
is vicious one. 1t levies tribute
on the school children of Ohio in it's
schedule of prices for books, and par
ents must either pay 1t or permit
their children TO grow up uneducated.
Is Adroit and Subtle.
This book trust lobby is an adroit,
subtle, powerful as well as vicious
one, 1t Is sending school superinten.
dents and teachers here to work
against rne Yount bill. People of
Ohio have learned to respect those at
the head of It's schools. But | charge
that the book trust controls half the
schools of Ohio and that most OF
those school superintendents lobby
ing against the Yount bill are being
paid q fee, just like other profession-
all lobbyists. Their compensation
might not be in money but 1t takes
the form of books or other presents.
Taxpayers employ these men to
supervise their schools and they
leave their posts at the busiest
period of the school year and come
to Columbus to do the school book
trusts work.
"The lobbyists advance an absurd
argument against the bill. They say
If 1t is passed the children will have
an inferior quality of books. Ohio
has school men who can compile as
good series of books as does the
book trust, and with competitive bid.
ding they will get them much
cheaper.
"Telegrams purporting to be from
constituents to members really OK.
press only the sentiment Of the book
trust agents, who pay the cost of
sending them. They are not hearing
from the parents compelled to pur-
chase new series of books every
three or four years, at the dlctation
of the book trust. This levy does not
leave them money to pay for tele-
grams"

ties In Light of Huge Joke.
Columbus, o., April 9.-That many
politicians-big and little and of both
political compiexions-wer deeply In
terested In the passage of the Elson
telephone merger bill, has been
brought to light by the testimony in
troduced at the hearings of the house
committee that is investigating ru-
mors and charges that questionable
methods were used to boost 1t
through the lower branch OF the gem
eral assembly.
Judge Winters OF Erie county first
implicated Louie Bernard. the Demo.
cratic leader of Cincinnati; next
Howard Pears of Lima pointed the
finger Of suspicion at Simon Cronin
of Akron, said to be a lieutenant OF
Harvey CARRIER, telephone magnate
and Democratic national committee
man from Ohio. Then came Repre-
sentative Beaschler of Noble county,
who testified that 80 minutes before
the Elson bill came up for passage
In the house w. II. Phipps, secretary
of the Republican state executive
committee and state oil Inspector,
called him over the phone and urged
him to vote in the Affirmative.
Following Beaschler, Represents
tive j. j. Connaughton of Auglaize
county testi I'd that Samuel A. Hos
kins, former Democratic candidate
for secretary of state, buttonholed
him In the statehouse corridor and
asked him to vote for the bill.
Were Handy Letter Writers,
The testimony of a number of rep
resentatives was to the effect that
most of the letters and kilograms
they received urging the passage OF
the Elson bill were from Bell tele-
phone interests and from indepen-
dent interests that wanted to sell out
to the Bell In the event the Elson
bill became law
Boween now and Monday night,
when the next hearing of the com
mittee is scheduled, the lobby record
of q number of big state politicians
are to be looked into with view of
introducing evidence later on show
ing the exact nature of the connec-
tlon with the phone interests.
Representative Moritz of Cleve-
land, In a long cross.examination, in
sisted that the expression used to
him. "Well give Moritz $50 II he'll
vote against reconsideration" was by
men standing In the house. whose
identity he did not notice, whom he
would not recognize again, and that
he took 1t as Joke and so repeated
it TO Representative Woods. He said
he had never had any offer of money

COURT PROFITS

DOUGLAS, Aug. 6.-(SpeciaL)-
 The receipts from fines levied in the municipal court combined with the work done by prisoners on the street continues to show a profit for the conduct of this court, making it more than self-sustaining Last month there was paid into the city treasury from this court sS4 in cash fines and fifteen men worked for ff- teen days. making a total of 225 days work done. This work is figured at $L75 and the cost of feeding prison CTS is put at D cents. this leaves s1 per day net for the city street work done by each man for last month. S225; bringing the total up to s3O9. From this has to be deducted the salary of judge and fees of inter- preter. which latter last month amounted to $40.
 As to the value of the work done by the prisoners Street Supervisor Gibbs state that the prisoners in their eight hours work a day do just as good work as any man who Is hired, and to whom s1.75 day Is paid.
 The city thus far this year has re- ceived net profit of s235 from dog licenses. The gross receipts have been $447 and the poundmaster has killed S212. receiving $1 for each one that is executed by him. On an av- craze he is catching six dogs a day and there are still many dogs for which no license has been paid but which will be licensed. so that the end is not yet
 The showing thus far this year is better than last year at the same time and speaks well for the effici- ency of work done.
