PRESIDENT TAFT WILL BE RE-
NOMINATED.

A great many politicians are shifting
around and some of them are prepar'
ing to put up a fight to defeat the re-
nomination OF President Taft but
there is no possibility of such an end
being accomplished. President Taft
is as sure of the denomination as was
President Mckinley for his second
term. All campaigns put up against
him are a pure waste of time and
money.
President Taft is an honest man. We
believe he is patriotic. We do not
know what he had in mind when he
favored Canadian reciprocity. What
ever he had in mind was mistake
But we forgive him for the mistake
and support him on general principles
The opposition largely comes from
those who want free trade. The free
trader is always active. He never
sleeps. The free trader has been max
ing great progress during the past few
years.
If those who wanted lower tariff
had been sincere, they would have sup
ported Canadian reciprocity. But they
turned from it either for political rea
sons or because they wanted actual
free trade.
Such republicans as desire to cleo,
the next president had better be get

OF course the insurgents will en-
dorse the candidacy of La Toilette
and will do all they can to defeat Taft.
That is what they are there for, to do
all possible to make republican defeat
certainty. Republicans might as
we'll look the situation in the face.
There is large element of former re-
publicans who have become dissatis-
fed with the principles OF the party
and who, while clinging to the party
name, are doing all they can to de-
stroy it. Nothing that the president
may or may not do will please or ap-
|pease them. They want nothing short
of the disruption of the party. They
hope, if it is defeated next year that
they will be able to re-organize it, or
to organize new party, with them
selves as leaders. There is nothing
else in the present insurgent move
ment. None of them think for mo.
ment that La Toilette can be nomi-
mated, or that he could be elected if
he was nominated Their only hope is
to defeat the republican party in 1912

1t is unpardonable that the streets
of Denison are not better dragged. 1t
is comparatively inexpensive and it is
certainly effective if the authorities
do not wait until the streets are dry
and hard before using it. Denison
ought to set a good example to the out
lying townships. There is no need in
preaching to the farmers if we do not
practice what we preach.

PROBE OF STEEL TRUST
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN
partment of Justice Will Next Move Against U. S.
Steel Corporation Report Almost Finished

It Is apparent now that the Department
Of Justice is seriously considering the
possibility Of moving against the United
States Steel Corporation as a combina-
ton in violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law. Reports were circulated yes
terday that officials OF the department
had already determined upon such an ac-
ton, but these reports lacked conirma-
tion, and the general impression Is that
the authorities of the Department OF
Justice are still engaged in going over
the evidence that has been gathered in
an investigation Of the Steel Corporation.
A nat statement yesterday that an at
tack soon would be made by the govern
ment upon the so-caIled steel trust was
attributed to Trustworthy information
high enough 10 warrant credibility."
when Solicitor General Lehman. who
has charge of the steel trust investiga-
ton for the Department of Justice, was
questioned in regard to the report, he
said that he could not talk about 1t,
and other officials Of the Department of
Justice declined either to confirm or
deny Il.
It is known, however, that Herbert
Knox Smith, the commissioner OF cor
porations, has been urged to hurry his
report on the United States Steel Cor
poration He has been at work on the
corporation's affairs for many months.
and he xill, It was said yesterday, be
ready to lay his complete report before
The Washington herald., 1911-06-07

President Taft within the next ten days
The President will then transmit the re-
port to the Senate and also will probably
send II TO the Stanley investigating COM
mittee Of the House. The belief IN
Washington is that Commissioner
Smiths report will he unfavorable in
many respects for the corporation.
II the Department OF Justice should de-
eide to move for the dissolution of the
United States Steel Corporation, no ac-
tion. 1t Is known, viii be begun until the
present investigation by the House Com
mittee IS completed.
Attorney General wickersham already
has indicated plainly that the policy of
the Department OF Justice in the future
would be to apply the criminal provision
possible.
Representative Stanley, of Kentucky,
who is chairman OF the House committee
that is investigating the Steel Corpora
tion, seemed greatly pleased yesterday
over reports OF the governments activity
in regard to the so-called steel trust
Mr.. Stanley indicated very plainly that
20 matter what announcement Official
semi-oficial, or otherwise, might be made
by the administration in connection with
the prosecution of the, steel trust, so far
as he was concerned the special steel
committee would continue its inquiry
Representative Martin Littleton, of New
York, will conduct the examination of
Judge Gary when the Stanley committee
meets tomorrow.

The testimony of Senator ElihU Root.
of New York. before the House Commit
tee on Expenditures in the State De-

ceived $3.50 for his work. The voucher

Senator Root said that his attention
was called to the discrepancy in 1905.

that he ordered an Investigation which
convinced him that the s.. $50 had been
drawn from the emergency fund by au-
thority OF Secretary of State Hay to

COMMISSIONERS REFUSE
REPORT ON PRIMARIES
VIII Not Pass on Bristow Bill Submitted TO Them by
Senate District Committee Say Question Is
One of National Importance

Declaring that the question was one
Of national rather than of focal impor-
tance and that the District had been dis
enfranchised by Congress for reasons
OF which they were not aware, the
Commissioners yesterday returned to
the Senate. without report, the bill pro-
viding for primary nominating elec-
tions in the District OF Columbia.
The bill. which was introduced by
Senator Bristow last month, provides
for a primary nominating election in
the District OF Columbia, at which the
qualified electors of the said District
shall have the opportunity to vote for
their respective first and second choice
among those aspiring to be candidates
Of their respective political parties for
President and Vice President of the
United States, to elect their party dele
gates to their national conventions and
TO elect their nati0, al committeeman"
The letter from the Commissioners to
Senator Gallinger, chairman OF the
District Committee. explains their atti-
,tude. It reads as follows:
The Washington herald., 1911-06-07

THE Commissioners are not prepared
to make suggestions with respect to
the general policy of the proposed leg
islation, as Congress by its act of June
20, 1874, deprived the citizens of the
District of Columbia of the privilege of
voting on public questions for reasons
of which the Commissioners are not
advised and Of whose present force
they are unaware.
"The specific object of the bill seems
to be one of national rather than local
concern, and the advisabilityr of its en-
actment subject for the better judg.
mont of Congress. The Commissioners
are lacking in the necessary data ard
experience upon which to base q recon-
mendation as to the policy OF the bill,
with confidence that would be a relia-
BILE guide to your committee; but the
provision In the bill which proposes to
charge the revenues OF the District
with the expense of its operation II IL
should become a law appears to them
to contemplate the imposition of bur-
den upon the District taxpayers which
they should not be called upon to bear"

Criticism Of President Taft, the Repub-
lican party, and the tariff board Is made
by the report Of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House on the bill to
revise the wool schedule. The report was
submitted to the House by Chairman
Underwood yesterday. and is signed by
all the Democratic members of the COM
mittee except Francis Burton Harrison,
of New York, who is absent from the
city.
After quoting from speeches Of the
President on the tariff act of 1909, the
report says:
These are admissions by the highest
Republican authorities that Schedule X
Of the act OF 1909 was not revision at
all, that the rates in this schedule are
too high. going beyond any difference in
the cost OF production. including protec-
ton of profits to the manufacturer, and
that tGeSe rates should have been re-
duced. but that the Republican party
broke its promise to the people and fall
ed in its duty, because II could not re-
sist the demands of selfish private In
terests. These admissions are belated.
as were the promises OF tariff reform in
the Republican platform of 1908. Had
the President made these public admis-
sions earlier, while the tariff law Of 1893
was under consideration by the Congress,
his declarations would have been a real
service to the people and would have
enabled them to protest against the be-
trayal Of the public welfare to private
greed"
The committees report is extremely
critical Of the tariff board.
The position Of the tariff board ap-
To- ha - ha haf has
in conference with and under the sole
control Of the President shall be the sole
Judges as to what part Of the data they.
collect may be likely 10 be OF service for
purposes of legislation, and this situation
must be considered with reference to the
viewpoint of the President concerning
tariff legislation"
Some Duty Necessary.
In explaining that the committee voted
against raw wool on the free list, fixing
the rate on the product az % per cent ad
valorem. the report sets forth that the
extravagances of the Republican party
made necessary the adoption OF a revenue
duty. The report says on this point:
The present situation Of the Treasury
requires that the revenue from customs
duties in the immediate future be main
tained at approximately the total Of the
fiscal year 1910 Under the compSlslon Of
this situation the committee finds II
necessarySto recommend e moderate rev.
enue dutyo manufactured wool and the
raw woods OF whatever class or kind shall
be subject to duty OF 20 per cent"
The wool bill viii be taken up for de-
bate In the House to-day. Present Indi-
cations are that the discussion viii run
along until about June 1k
