VERY BAD EITHER WAY
Taft's Veto OF the Wool Gil May
Cause Him Many Bad Quarter
on an Hour.

We are confident that President
Taft. by his veto OF the wool bill. has
prepared many bad quarter OF an
hour for himself. II may appear that
he has done an uncomfortable dis,
service to his tariff board by SO
much insisting upon the necessity of
basing revision OF the schedules upon
its report and findings
The Underwood revision Of the wool
schedule Mr.. Taft found to be unac-
ceptable. because 1t had been prepared
without information as to cost differ
ences and other factors which the tar.

general opinion OF the country. we are
sure. is that. in signing a bill which
reduces the run Of duties on woolen
fabrics from 95 per cent. to As per
cent. he would have run no great risk
of sanctioning duties too low to meet
differences of production cost and the
reasonable profit" to American manu-
facturers. However. he was of
different opinion. and vetoed the bill
Now. suppose the report of the tariff
board should be of such a nature as
to Justify rates below those fixed In
the Underwood bill That would show
that Mr.. Taft had entirely misjudged
the result and had done injustice to
its authors in imputing haste and
recklessness to them in preparing the
new rates. On the other hand. sup

Underwood bill. Does the president
suppose, do the woolen manufactur-

country would accept such a report
as fair and impartial presentation
Of facts fit to serve as a basis for the
revision of that schedule? Would ii
not. on the contrary, be everywhere
said that the presidents tariff board
was but part OF the great protection.

Republican party and with the presi

II seems to us that embarra rassments
which might easily have been avoided
by signing the wool bill have been de
liberately invited by the veto.

An experienced tourist gives the fol-

attention of every man who drives an
automobile:
Corners and narrow roads are not the
safest places to conduct repairs in.
Neither should a tonneau door be al
lowed to remain open nor tools be scat
tered over the road. Place the tools
needed for the particular work on tho
running board, and as each has been
used return II thereto. In all cases the
autoist should place the change gear
lever in the neutral position and SET
the hand brake before leaving the seat,
Accidents caused by the car running
