president SPEAKS PLAIN
Mr.. Taft Says He II RESPONSIBLE for
the Controller Bay Withdrawal.
and Gives His Reasons

Washington, July 2S-In a message
of considerable length sent to the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon President Taft
shoulders the entire burden of respon-
sibility in the %natter of the Controller
bay laad withdrawal He states that
by mis- act alone. and only after full
est investigation. was 1880 acres OF
the Chugachi national forest in Alas
ka withdrawn from that reserve and
opened up for settlement and develop
ment- 1t was the withdrawal of this
tract from the national reserve that
gave rise to the new famous Control
Ter bay controversy.
Furthermore, the president. speak
ing for his brother, Charles P. Taft of
Cincinnati, whose name has frequently
been drawn into the affair, declares
that Charles P. Taft has not at any
time been connected with or interest
ed in the matter. He says Charles P.
Taft has no interests in Alaska. As to
the appearance of the name of the
presidents brother in the now famous
Dick to Dick" letter, he says his
brother knew nothing of that affair,
and was in no manner interested in
the lands or the companies now evolv-
ing development schemes in the terri
tory. Ee asys the alleged postscript to
the letter from Richard S. Ryan Of the
Controller Bay Railway and Navigation
Company, which Miss VI. F. Abbott
declares she found. in the files of the
department of the interior. is not to
be found in such files.
Coming to the purpose of eliminat-
ing the 1880 acres in the Controller
bay section from the national reserve.
President Taft says he ordered 1t
thrown open to settlement because he
believed it to be necessary to the de-
ve1opment of Alaska, and that it was
not done in the interest of the Con-
troller Bay Railway and Navigation
Company, or any individual or set Of
individuals. Furthermore, he declares
the Controller Bay Railway and Navi-
cation Company is not owned or con-
trolled by ]. Pierpont Morgan or the
Guggenheims, nor are they interested
in the company.

BETTER THAN No BREAD
IL Seventy Per Cent. of a LOaf-But
the House Democrats May Think
Differently Regarding the
Wool Tariff

Washington, July 2s-The Senate
wool compromise bill, offered by Sen
ator LaFollette of Wisconsin, being a
modification of his own bill and the
Underwood House bill, passed the Sem
ate yesterday afternoon by vote of
As TO 30. through the actions of the
democrats and insurgent republicans.
The measure adopted reduces the
duty on raw wool to 35 per cent ad-
valorem, with corresponding reduc-
tions in the duties on articles made
from wool.
The compromise measure will now
go back to the House. and its fate
there is prob1ematical. The President
Taft has to be taken into consdera-
ton. 1t has been semi officially stated
from the White House on a number Of
occasions that the president would
veto any tariff legislation on wool or
cotton that might be passed prior to
the report of the tariff board on these
matters.

P|NCHOI ISN'T PLACATED
Former FOrester's Criticism of Presi-
dent Taft's Explanation Of the
Controller Bay Affair

Washington. Fully 28.-Gifford Pin
chot, former government chief forest
er and now president of the National
Conservation Association, has issued a
statement declaring that President
Taft leaves the root of the matter
wholly untouched" in his message to
the Senate denying there could be any
monopolization of the waterfront of
Controller bay Alaska. Pinchot opens
his statement with this charge:
''The presidents defense of his
course in the Controller bay affair
shows how hard it is to make a good
excuse for a bad mistake" Conclud-
ing, Pinchot states: 1T is unfortunate
that the friends of conservation. in
their efforts to bring about the de-
velopment of Alaska for the benefit of
the people are continually obliged to
eXpend their strength against men who
ought to be protectors of the peoples

HONEST MEDICINE VS.. FAKES

President Taft's recent message sug-
gesting amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foleys
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of in
gradients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical profes
sion itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are in
tended to counteract. For over three
decades Foley's Homer and Tar Com
pound has been a standard remedy for
coughs, colds and affections Of the
throat. chest and lungs for children
and for grown persons. and it retains
today its pre-eminence above all other
preparations of its kind Foley Kid
ney Pills are equally effective and mer-
itorious. Sold by the Court Pharmacy.

A Few Facts as TO Our Merchant
Marine

By Merchant Marine is meant ships, steam
ers and boats engaged in carrying merchan-
disc, ETC., on deep water.
The u. S. Government issues, annually, a
book entitled the 'Statistical Abstract" 1t
is on that part of our history which can be
told in numerals
On page 283, of the 1908 edition, we are
told how many merchant vessels we have.
1t appears that IA, 400 sailing vessels belong
to us: that 1926 steam vessels belong to us:
and that we own 100000 boats and barges.
In time of war, the Government could ex
ercise the soverei On right, as 1t did IN the
Spanish aoar, to take possession of as many
of these vessels as it needed-paying for
them, of course.
In spite of these facts, shoaOuug that aoe

nation on earth, the shi p-builders and the
Steel Trust, and the well-paid lobbyists of
the Marine League-and Hobson, Of course
are eternally yawping about the disappear
ance of our merchant vessels; and the awful,
helpless woe-begone plight we'd be in if
Japan made war on us.
1--WE are completely at the mercy of any
and every foreign nation!" cry these ship
subsidy thieves.
And yet we are spending $125,OOO,0OO
year on our navy-a Sum aohich, not so very

Representative
If you will impress your national represen-
tatives and servants with the idea that you
are paying strict attention to what he does,
and ohat he fails to do, you'll see him
straighten up and get busy.
Let me tell you another thing:
It is my purpose to read the Congressional
Record, from day to day, and to put before
your eyes the name of every Congressman
who is trying to do something for you, as
we'll as the names of those who are serving
the Trusts at the expense of the people.

How the Persians Dispose of Their
Dead

The descendants of the ancient Persians
are Jealous in the religion of their ancestors.
They regard fire, earth and water as the
sacred sources of life-not to be contaminated
by contact with the dead. Therefore, they
neither burn, bury, or cast into the river any
corpse.
Upon some lofty hill, they build plat
form, and the dead are left there, uncovered.
The vultures leave nothing but the bones.
Without distinction of rank, age or sex,
these bones are thrown into pit, and reduced
to ashes by the use of chemicals.
According to our own way of looking at
things, that method of treating the dead is
horrible. But ours is far from perfect 1t
is hideously certain that many people who
are not really dead, are cofined and buried
Besides, as Time rolls on, the human race
will either have to abandon an ever-increasing
area to the Dead or will have to convert
cemeteries to the use of the living
1t is an open secret, even now, that many
block of business houses have been built on
old grave-yards.

Two Items From the Paper of Dear

The "Vesleyan Christian Advocate" is
delicious old thing. The way it stumbles
along, from year to year, is one of the Nine
teen Wonders of Modern Times. The other
eighteen Wonders consist mainly of those men
and women who are belly,aching about the
condition of the boots of Chinese Society
buds, and who are shipping silk plug-hats
to those naked niggers, in Africa.
But what l meant to call your attention
to, are two paragraphs which appear in the
latest issue of Dear Doctor Lovett's uninten-
tionally funny paper,
Firstly, we will see what he has to print
about those absurdly unimportant people, the
Koreans:
