NO FRONT PAGE SPEECHES.
Reform in the Makeup of the Con-
gressionaI Record.

There is Il reform in the Congressional
Record. For years the front page of the
Record has been regarded as the most
desirable position for printing a speech,
and many Senators and Representatives
would wait two or three weeks after
delivering remarks in order to secure
the first page.
Now, however. an order has gone forth
which directs that the Record shall print
the proceedings of the Senate and of the
House, and that the speeches held for
revision shall be printed at the end in
stead of in the front of the publication.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY

WHEN WASHINGTON WENT
wOOING.
By A. w. MACY

WOOING.
George Washington was a hus-
tier, even in matrimonial affairs.
When a young man of twenty
six he took dinner at the house
OF a friend one day, and there
met a good-looking young wild
ow named Martha Custis. She
must have been charming. for
George spent the whole after
noon in her society. and then ac-
cepted her invitation to remain
at tea. 1t was evidently a case
of ardent love at first sight, for
bright and early next morning
he was again at the front door,
seeking admission. Before noon
that day they were engaged to be
married, and married they were.
shortly afterward, she 'fn silk
and satin, laces and brocade, with
pearls on her neck and in her
ears" and he in blue and silver
trimmed with scarlet. and with
gold buckles at his knees and on
his shoes" After the wedding
ceremony, which no doubt was
highly impressive, they rode
away to Mount Vernon, not to-
gether in the same carriage as
bridal couples do now, but she
in a coach and six" and he on
horseback, riding proudly along
side.

Bernard n. Baker Says Japan Needs
Them for Expansion.

Baltimore, Aug. S.-Bernard n. Baker,
the wealthy Baltimore business man,
who returned to-day from a trip abroad,
favors the giving of the Philippine ISL
ands to Japan. He says Japan is greatly
in need of more land for her growing
population. and he believes the Mikado
would readily enter negotiations for the
purchase of the American possessions in
the far East should this country show a
disposition to relinquish its hold.
Mr. Baker says that Emperor Will
lam is justified in getting hold on
Morocco for the same reasons that Ger
manys population is expanding beyond
its territorial resources.

"That the Attorney General of the

trust law, If anywhere the evidence,
in the opinion of the Attorney Cen
eral, shall justify such proceedings.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Lorimer, OF
Illinois, faces another investigation
at the hands of his colleagues. The
inquiry will be conducted by sub
committee of the committee on
privileges and elections, composed of
four Republicans and four Dem
ocrats, four of whom voted for the
conviction and four for the acquittal
of the Senator last session. The
method selected is regarded as the
latest thing in jury trials.
1t took seven hours debate to
agree upon the system, and 1t was
finally adopted by vote of As to
20, being substituted for the plan
urged by Senator La Toilette of turn
ing the case over to five senator's
who were not members when the
case was voted upon before and,
therefore, were supposed to be un-
biased.

killed hx Earlier Explosion.

New York. k.-Nicaraguans in this
city are disinclined to believe that
the explosion OF Fort La Iona was
an accident. They we're sure that 1t
was part of a plot by the rebels who
have headquarters at Leon against
the administration of President
Adolpho Diaz, and they expect re-
prisals TO follow
Fort La Iona was perched at the
summit of an extinct volcano and
looked down on Managua from a
height of 1000 feet. After the Gov
ernment arsenal blew up in the heart
of the city nine years ago 1t was re-
established at La Iona.
Four hundred persons we're killed
in the first explosion, which was
probably an accident. For days the
trees of the city park adjacent hung
draped with tatters of humanity and
the sky was black with vultures. The
first main explosion was followed by
many minor detonations, and so great
was the terror of the populace that
they largely deserted the city, leav-
ing the dead to the vultures.

TAFT HITS FROM
THE SHOULDER
Denounces the Underhand At
lacks on Reciprocity.
SCORES SPECIAL INTERESTS.
Reviews Proposed Msasure Eleo-
orateiy In Address Before
Western Economic
Society.

Chicago. go.-President Taft In
speech before the Western Economic
Society here declared that the prin-
cipal opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement came not from
the farmer, but from the Lumber
Trust and from American manufac-
turers of print paper.
In one of the most comprehensive
addresses that he has made on the
subject, the President outlined some
of the methods employed by the
opponents of reciprocity, practically
told the farmers that they were be-
Ing "buncoed" by special interests
and said that the fate of the agree
ment rested not SO much with the
United States as with the people OF
the country.
II the farmer and the country at
large, he said, could be brought to
understand that this treaty was in
the interest of a majority of the peo-
pie, he would not longer fear the
coming vote In the Senate.
Not Sparir q In Words.
The President was not sparing In
his words. He told Of the reasons
for the opposition to the treaty by

manufacturers, and without using
names scored New York firm, some
of whose members recently appear
ed at the hearings before the Senate
Finance Committee in Washington,
ostensibly in behalf Of the National
Grange, and objected to the enact
ment of the agreement.
In spite of the forces that are ar
rayed against it, the President ex-
pressed the belief that the agreement
would become a law.
"The bill" he said, "will pass, II
It passes at all, because of the force
OF public opinion in its favor"

GETS CHANCE TO REORGANIZE
Supreme Court Decides Against
Tobacco Trust--Sent Back
to Lower Court.

Washington. The government
won a sweeping victory over the
so-called tobacco trust" when the
Supreme Court of the United States
held the American Tobacco Com
pany and its allied corporations to
be operating in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
BY directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege Of inter-
state commerce be placed In the
hands OF receiver unless It dis
lntegrates in harmony with the law
within six, or at the most, eight
months, the court is regarded to have
dealt with the tobacco corporations
more drastically than with the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey,
whose dissolution was ordered two
weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections
OF the Sherman Antitrust Law have
been violated by the so-called To-
bacco Trust. according to the court.
Not only has 1t restrained wrong
fully and unlawfully interstate COM
merce in the eyes OF the court, but
II has attempted to mononolize the
tobacco business to the injury OF the
public and OF its competitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe, at the same time
there was a touch OF leniency In not
making the combination an outlaw
now" The various elements Of the
combination are to be given as oppor-
tunity, under the supervision OF the
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District OF New York, OF
recreation, so that there may be
brought about "a new condition
which shall be honestly in harmony
with and not repugnant to the law"
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White, who
also delivered the opinion OF the
court in the Standard Oil case. The
entire court agreed that the tobacco
combination violated the Sherman
Antitrust Law; but Associate Justice
Harlan dissented from the repeated
Interpretation of the Sherman Anti.
trust Law; so as to call for the ap-
plication of the rule OF reason" In
determining what restraints OF trade
were forbidden by the act. In this
respect the division OF the court was
the same as in the Standard OIL case.
