by a big newspaper which, instead OF
sending its correspondent along with
the president, is requiring him to
travel two or three days in the wake
of the presidential train, in an eff
fort to get the real opinions of the
people after the usual buster of the
presidential visit has vanished, and
the people are settled back into their
accustomed attitude.
Most of the men interviewed by
this correspondent, and he is making
it a point 10 ask all classes of indf-
vidUal citizens what effect the presi-
dents visit had on their community,
express an opinion similar to the one
given above. They all admit that they
enjoyed seeing the president-which
is an opportunity that comes to some
Americans only once in a life time,
and some times not that often-but
the great majority of them went back
10 the Taft signature to the Payne
Aldrich bill, and the Taft veto of the
democratic revision downward bills Of
the special session. when they were
asked for their real opinion of the
president
Although this correspondent has in
teryiewed hundreds of men so far on
his journey 1t is significant that only
scattering few, less than a half doz-
en- all told, have come out violently
and enthusiastically for him. In most
Of the cases it was the opinion of the
person interviewed that Taft was
doomed to defeat next year. or that
it would be best to give him few
more months in which TO make good
his promises. None endorsed his ad-
ministration unequivocally.
1t developed, too. that a great many
men, in all walks of life. candidly ad-
mitted that next year they proposed
to vote for a democratic president,
Notwithstanding they always before
had voted for a republican. A great
many of these referred to the mag
nifcent record the democrats made In
congress last session, and frankly ad-
mitted that since the democrats had
shown real ability to govern, and gov
ern well, it was no more than their
due that they should be given greater
responsibility.
If President Taft really wants to
know what the western people think of
him it will pay him 10 discount the
high sounding platitudes he hears at
the banquets he attends. and read the
opinions of these citizens who pass
judgment on him after he is gone, not
while he is their guest.

In the first place, it hasn't been
cold enough to hurt us yet. We've

our lot that we can't bear to think OF
living any other way.

ing out with some friends of ours. 1t
was that last frightful rainstorm. Our
hostess said We must stay all night,
because we certainly couldn't go away
out into the country in that storm.
We thought we would have to stay,
too. But somehow the thought of our
little cottage and its homeiness, kept
growing on us. We were really home
sick, I believe And when the rain
ceased later on. we decided that we'd
go home, even if we had TO swim for
it.
And when We did get home and
saw the old stove with its ruddy
cheeks and felt its warm welcome
So glad TO see you blackwell,
mother and l just breathed sighs of
content, We were so glad to be there.
No. we don't get lonesome. In
fact, we like it that we are all alone
out there. We see plenty of people

our cozy evenings by ourselves

Is the Coffee Trust Immune? {?

The coffee trust appears 10 be the
hardest kernel which the trust-busters
of the federal administration have to
tackle. Difficulties in applying the
Sherman law and the supreme court
decision as 10 the tobacco and oil COM
panies are as nothing compared with
this, for there is a question whether
or not the Sherman law applies 10 the
control of the coffee supply. or even
whether any law is sufficient TO com
pei obedience from another national
power like Brazil, whose valorizatiou
scheme is nominally if not sCtually the
responsible framework of the trust.
While the price OF coffee is being
advanced to the consumer in this
country, two million bags of a two
year-old surplus crop are said TO be in
storage in New York city. and the
Brazilian crop of the present year is
said to be above the average
Brazil produces more than two-thirds
of all the coffee grown in the world.
and the United States consumes more
than half Of all that is used. Nearly
90 per cent OF the supply OF the init
ed States comes from Brazil. and
therefore is subject 10 the tribute
