RECORDS OF BOTH NATIONAL

New York, Aug 19.-When the base
ball season closes in october the fans
will probably have new batting records
to discuss. Judging from the way the
batters i'm both the American and Ma
tional leagues arc hitting the ball this
year new records are surely to be made.
During the present season an unpre-
cedentCd number of extra base drives
have been made. There is every reas-
on to believe that new records will be
established for two-baggers and three
base drives as well as for home runs.
Since there is something magical in
the word "home rum" naturally the
fans throughout the country are inter
csted i'm the player who manages to get

TREASURER JAERLING RECEIVES
NOTICE OF CHANGE.
All Residents Must Pay Their Taxes
Earlier This Year.

Village Treasurer Michael Jaerling
has received word from County Treas
urer Rashleigh, to the effect that the
tax roll for the village must be re-
turned this year by Novemb,c /. al
most three months earlier than the
date on which the returns were made
last year. AS Laurium was the last
village in the county TO make it's re-

urcr Rashleigh considerable inconven-
fence the ultimatum he has just issued
was to be expected.
The council is unable, legally, to ex-
tend the warrant on the tax roll be-
yond the third Monday in October. The
county treasurers have extended every
courtesy however, by giving the village
trcasurcrs an opportunity 10 make col
lections. Returns have seldom been
made before the middle Of December.
The dilatory methods of the tax pay

that broke the camel's back, for re-

other villages were in.

Taft's Tariff Policy.

~ am a republican and the re-
publican party has always advo-
Gated and pursued a policy of pro-
lection to American products and
manufactures. 1t was thought that
tariffs on protected products could
not be too high, that II all foreign
products were excluded competi-
ton would estimate production and
reduce its cost and its prices.
THE temptation to destroy COM
petition by combinations became so
great. however. that the party in
its platform modified its policy and
imposed the limitation that the
tariff should be limited for pur-
poses of protection to the difference
between the cost Of production in
this country and the cost of pro-
duction abroad, with an allowance
for a reasonable profit to the Amer
lean producer.
THE principle of protection thus
stated takes away the Justification
for any tariff whatever by way of
protection on articles Imported
from a country where the condi-
tions as to labor and other cir
cumstances are the same as In our
own and thus makes the cost OF
production substantially the same.

OUTLOOK is NOT BRIGHT
FOR SEAL HUNTING SEASON
Reports From Newfoundland Are
That Ice Is Heavily Packed in
Belle Isle Straits.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., February 10.-Pros-
poets for annual seal hunting in the Gulf
of st. Lawrence are dubious. With only
a month and a day remaining before the
departure of the sealing fleet March II,
news has reached the owners of the ves-
sells here that ice already has packed in
heavily In the straits of Belle Isle. So
extensive is the pack reported that open
water cannot be seen for miles. heavy
frost is reported in the gulf, and the
quest for seal this season is expected to
be trying one.
To add to the troubles of the owners,
strike impends among the crews The
steamer owners declare they have not
yet been approached, but say that If the
demands are made they will not
send out their steamers.
The average total annual catch of seal
is well over half million. With favor
able conditions, it had been hoped to sur
pass the amount this season, as seven
vessels of the fleet will carry wireless
telegraph outfits. The two vessels go
equipped last season were highlincrs for
the fleet.

of the British navy. He has held no

There were no official formalities, but
most of the daily papers take occasion
to eulogize the admiraTs notable ca

political activities.
When Admiral Lord Charles Reres-
ford hauled down his flag command

out fifty years of service in a career
distinguished for professional ability
and personal gallantry, which made
him one of the most popular men in

Criticised the Admiralty.

His retirement was credited gener-
ally to friction with the admiralty
board. In the ordinary course he would
have held the channel command for
another year. He had been severe
critic of the management of the navy
when he was serving in parliament
and after he was put at the head of
the channel fleet. in 1906. he had trou-
bic both with his superiors and his
subordinates. When he struck his flag
in 1909 he said:
although the admiralty has ordered
me to haul down my flag. which, of
course. 1t has a perfect right to do, | feel
that I shall still be able to do service in
other fields of labor. My chief thought
always will be theef1ciency of the Iieet.
as my first desire has been that the ships
under my control should always be ready
for war"
Lord Charles at once opened an unofi-
cial campaign. and within month after
his retirement a subcommittee OF the
committee of imperial defense was sum-
mOned to consider a statement from him,
in which he charged that the admiralty's S
arrangements for war were inadequate
to insure the safety of the country; that
the fleets in home waters were not or
ganized in readiness for war, and that in
assuming command of the channel fleet
he had been unable to obtain any strate-
gical plan for the disposal in war of the
forces under his command.
The finding of this committee, the
chairman of which was the premier, was,
in effect, that not one of the charges had
been established.
