is receiving comes largely from his
connection with the tariff revision
and the conservation movements.
Mr.. Roosevelt advocated tariff re-
form, a very popular stand until
it becomes necessary to formulate
the various schedules and then the
trouble begins. Mr.. Roosevelt has
never told just what schedules he
favors. On the conservation ques-
tion also he has only given us gem
eralities. He favors conservation.
So do the people and hence his po-
sition is popular. To Pres. Taft
fell the responsibility Of formulat-
ing a definite plan Of conservation,
and here is where the criticism be-
gan. Conservation was popular
all over South Dakota until a prac-
tical application Of it was made to
the coal lands in the Lennon land
district. Then fourteen CONNER
cial clubs rose in protest. The
governor OF tine state, the Two sen
ators, one congressman and nu-
merous citizens met to formulate a
protest, and delegation accom-
panied the governor on hurried
trip to Washington to ask for a
modification Of the order. There
is no reason to suppose that Col.
Roosevelt would not have made
the same order had he been presi-
dent, and if SO he would have come
in for the same criticism now CIV
en- to Pres. Taft.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 9.-The mem

ship Kentucky were landed here by
the Alamo of the Mallory line, which
rescued them from a watery grave off
the Carolina coast a short while before
the Kentucky sank
"Providentially, upon the appearance
of the Alamo, which rushed to our as
sistance Immediately upon receipt of
our wireless call, the wind and sea
both moderated and the transfer of
the crew of the Kentucky was made
in two of the Ken. .dcky's boats, with
out the assistance of the boats of the
Alamo" said Captain Moore. six
trips were made from ship to ship
without the slightest mishap, but If
the wind had not subsided necessarily
some of the Kentucky's crew must
have met a watery grave"

CITY'S COAL BILLS PADDED
Experts Say Chicago Paid Too Much
for Fuel.

Chicago, Feb 9.-"In the last two
years the city of Chicago has paid
100000 more for coal than it ought
to have paid
This is the substance of report
submitted to the city council by coal
experts employed by the Merriam COM
mission, which recently has been in
vestigating charges of graft in the
city administration. The report says
that specifications were SO poorly
drawn up that it was difficult for an
independent dealer to have chance
in the bidding for the citys coal sup
ply. The city annually uses about
100000 worth of coal and the annual
waste, according to the report, has
been about S150,000.

CLINGS TO PROGRAMME

President Does Not Relish Ways Of
Some of His Interviewers and Is
Not Inclined to Relinquish Any Sub
stantial Part of His Plan--Hirted
That Mondays Liquidation on Wall
Street Was Engineered" by the
"Interests."
Washington, Feb. 9-President Taft
Is considering whether he will have
to put his back to the wall and mix
1t" with the big financial interests as
we'll as with congress In order to put
through his legislative programme.
From the beginning of the present
session there has been a tremendous
amount of advice from the interests
in the matter OF administration pro-
gramme and the president has had
hard work in his efforts to prove that
his measures are destined ultimate
ly'' to benefit capital. Every financier
and railway magnate who calls at the
White House to discuss legislation
drags forth that fearsome bugaboo--a
financial panic-and tries to show
that any radical legislation will ruin
the country.
At some points this has approached
almost to threat, which the presi-
dent does not relish. He clings tena-
ciously to his outlined programme and
is not inclined to relinquish any sub
stantial feature.
But, If Wall streets temporary epi-
leptic of Monday was the result of the
introduction of the presidents federal
incorporation bill In congress. Wall
street has reached a point where 1t
Is frightened by shadows. The presi-
dent does not intend forcing the fed
eral incorporation bill to passage this
year.
The things that are worrying Wall
street most, however, are the inter
state commerce law amendments rec
commended by the president and the
possibility of further trust prosecu-
tions If the supreme court upholds the
verdicts In the Standard Oil and to-
bacco trust cases. 1t has been pretty
definitely settled that the president
contemplates campaign under the
Sherman antitrust law IL that law
holds good in the pending cases.

MEAT PRICES AT new
YORK AGAIN RISING
Present Cost Above That Of
Some Weeks Ago.

New York, Feb 9.-Meat prices are
higher than ever in this city Dropping
for time while the agitation for
elimination Of meat from the diet was
fresh, the quotations, both wholesale
and retail, have amounted to figures
equal to and In some cases above
those prevailing before the movement
began. Indications are. prominent
dealers say, that still higher prices are
coming.
Increase In demand accounts for
some OF the tendency to advance. The
retailers attribute this increase to the
cold weather Shortened supplies are
believed by the wholesalers to have
more to do with 1t than anything else.
The dealers are congratulating them
selves In the belief that the agitation
has blown up. THE furry OF talk

TARIFF PROCLAMATION.

Washington, Feb. THE President
today issued a proclamation under the
provisions of the tariff of Aug. 5, 1909.
in which he declares that from and
after March 81. 1910, all articles import
ed into the United States or any of it's
possessions, except the Philippine Is
lands and the islands Of Guam and Tu-
tuild. from Germany, are entitled to be
admitted at the minimum rates of duty
prescribed by Section / of the present
tariff act.
The proclamation. however does not
siors for reason that the department Of
state has not had sufficient time in
which to investigate the question as to
whether such colonies unduly discrim-
inate against importations from the
United states. There is reason to be-
lieve that before March 81, the Pres
ident VIII take action including the
German colonies in the list of coun-
tries entitled to the minimum rates.
The proclamation today Is identical
with that published some time ago with
respect to Italy and several other
countries.
The question of undue discrimination
against American goods Is to be de-
tcrmined with respect to number of
countries including France, Canada,
Japan and China, and the colonial pos
sessions of several European countries.
