SENATE PASSES WOOL
BILL BY 48 TO 81
insurgents and Democrats Unite on
La Toilette Measure--Reeu-
lars Hope for Veto.

Washington.-Out of what had ap-
)eared to be a chaotic condition in
he Senate there suddenly arose a
coalition OF Democrats and insurgent
republicans which bowled over the
'egular organization and passed a
compromise bill for the revision Of
he wooden tariff by As TO 80.
This new force in the Senate, unit
ed on a material reduction of tariff
iuties all down the line and flushed
With victory, is threatening not only
% enact the so-called House farmers
rec list bill into law, but to put
through cotton bill as we'll The in
surgents want the sugar and steel
schedules included in the programme.
The House Democratic leaders are
lot willing to accept the compromise
dill as il passed the Senate, but they
are more than willing to meet the
Senate conferees Chairman Under
wood Of the House Ways and Means
committee expressed the belief that a
bill satisfactory TO both houses was
more than likely TO be agreed upon.
This would put the wool issue up to
President Taft, and there is much
speculation as to what his course
would be. President Taft would not
make any comment on the situation.
Senator Penrose freely predicted
that President Taft would veto any
wool measure that might come out Of
the conference
The bill which passed the Senate
was offered by Senator La Toilette,
leader of the insurgents, as a substi-
tute for the Underwood wool bill,
which had been sent over by the
House. The Senator from Wisconsin
has been working like beaver for
three days to bring about this result.
His chief purpose has been 10 lay the
basis of his campaign for the Republi.
can nomination for President against
Mr.. Taft. The Democratic Senators,
after many doubts and misgivings
and under the pressure Of two party
caucuses, finally came solidly to the
support of the Wisconsin insurgeut.

TAFT REFUTES
ALASKA CHARGES
Controller Bay Grant-Dick-
to-Dick Letter Bogus.
Cartoon by Triggs, In Ne

Washington.-Pres Taft sent
special message to the Senate, shoul-
dering full responsibility for opening
for settlement and development 1880
acres of the Chugach National Forest
Reserve in Alaska-an incident which
has come to be known as the Con
troller Bay Affair" In concluding he
brands the now famous "Dick-to-Dick"
postscript as a wicked fabrication
and says that Charles p. Taft, whose
name appered in the alleged post
script, has no interest in Alaska,
never had, and knows nothing Of the
circumstances connected with this
transaction" Moreover, the Presi-
dent adds, his brother does not even
S. Ryan. representing the Controller
Railway and Navigation company.
AS for eliminating the land in ques-
ton from the reserve, the President
says that there is no danger of the
Controller Railway and Navigation
company or any other interests
monopolizing the field, and nothing to
show that this company is in any way
connected with the Morgan-Guggen-
helm interests. Hence. he believes
that in eliminating the land he has
acted for the best Interests of the ma
ton. He continues:
81 wish to be as specific as possible
upon this point, and to say that |
alone am responsible for the en-
largement of the proposed elimination
from 800 acres to l2,800 acres, and
that / proposed the change and stat
ed my reasons therefor. The thing
which the Territory of Alaska needs
is development, and where rights and
franchises can be properly granted to
encourage investment and construct
railroad without comforting exclu-
sive privileges. | believe it to be in
accordance with good policy TO grant
them"
This message was sent to the Sen
ate along with almost cartful OF
documents, maps, etc, relating TO the
Controller bay affairs

A Hard-Workcd Man.

Perhaps we do not realize it, but
the president of the United States is
one of the hardest worked men in the
republic. The head of big corpora
ton, E. II. Gary, for instance, can
slip away to Europe and the organi-
zation will run itself until he returns,
but the president, surrounded as he
is by a corps Of capable assistants
and advisers, must be on the job
practically every day in the year.
Today William II. Taft is the bus
lest official who holds a high elective
position. A governor can get away
from official cares-although his pay
may be docked if he stays away too
long-but the president must get his
vacation in driblets. His vacations
consist of fifteen-minute intervals in
which nobody actually is waiting tc
see him.

KEPT AFLOAT BY LUMBER
Stick TO Vessel for 1000 Miles
lowed to Boston by
Revenue Cutter
Gresham.

Bo5ton-With her men living on
the top OF the after deckhouse,
while the cargo Of lumber which
kept her afioat washed through her
wrecked cabins, the schooner Sarah
Wood reached the lower harbor in
tow of the revenue cutter Gresham,
after having been battered into a
mere raft of lumber with sails in
the gale last Friday.
With her forecastle and forward
GcckEouse ground out by the deck
load, her jibboom torn out at the pail
post martingales gone, stern ripped

deCs timbers, the 43-year-old schoon-
or clawed off Peaked Hill Bar in the
teeth Of a 70-mile gale, threshed 10
miles TO the Georges and kept to-
gether TO bring her crew 10 port.
The schooner, which is owned by
her captain, Louis Douglas of Denis
vile, n. j., was bound from Bangor
TO New York with lumber. She left
Rockland, Me-, Wednesday. Her
crew Of six were S. w. Robbins OF
Deer Isle, Me, mate; William Simp-
son, cook; Louis Peters and Joseph
Kalo. Hawaiian islanders, and Will
liam Ramsey. native Of the Ba-
hamas, seamen.
Mate Robbins said that the glass
had given no indication OF the ap-
preaching gale Friday, and that they
we've unable 10 get canvas OFF before
the sea swept over the heavily laden
schooner At 4 o'clock her deckload
began TO go adrift. In five minutes
the schooner was practically
wreck, her rigging had parted both
beats were washed away and the
churning lumber of her loosened
deckload had ripped the living
quarters Of the crew TO pieces. The
men saved themselves by hanging to
stays.
The schooner rolled on her beam
ends before the force of the blow,
and they were obliged to clear away
part of her deck load TO right her.
Capt. Douglas and Mate Roberts were
at the wheel when one OF the water
casks tore loose and rolled aft. The
mate was struck and thrown over
the wheel, the crash breaking two
ribs on the right side. He was the
only one injured on board
At the height of the blow Peaked

Just after the schooner had threshed
offshore.
After the wind fattened out and II

The fact that good roads increase
the value of farm lands is not the po'
tential argument in favor Of good
roads. Good roads make farm lands
more valuable only because they make
farm products more valuable by bring
ing the market closer 10 the farm and
because they keep the markets ac'
cessible to the farm every day In the
year. That is the reason why farm
ers should have good roads. To the
man who does not want to sell his
land at any price, the value of that
land is matter of secondary consid
eratoin. But good roads give the man
who does not want to sell his farm the
same advantage that they give the
man who does want to sell. They give
him an increased value for his prod
ucts and pay a dividend every time he
needs the market
