President Taft Has Vetoed Wool Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-President
Tafts message vetoing the Underwood
La Toilette wool tariff bill, was receiv-
ed enthusiastically by the republicans
of the house. The reading of the mes
sage was followed by prolonged ap-
plause on the republican side, while
the democrats received it in silence.
Their turn to applaud came, however,
when Floor Leader Underwood an
nounced he would call up the veto
message Immediately after the read
ing of the journal today and make a
motion to pass the bill over the veto.
An outburst of applause and rebel
wells followed this announcement.
Republicans generally think that
President Taft's veto message is a
strong document, meeting logically
the existing tariff situation. The senti-
ment is that Mr.. Taft has said all that
need be said to make his position alb
solutely clear and consistent. He took
the only course open to him as the
head of the republican party when a
direct assault was attempted on the
1 principle of protection.

spoke as follows regarding this:
Everything say to you should
have been said to you by the candi-

ly the man who runs for Office is hand
icapped. He must stand on a platform
that Is written by some one else. He
must spread his sails to catch every
passing breeze.
"The square deal was first made
popular by Roosevelt. AS he used 1t,
1t meant to administer the law alike
to the rich and poor, the powerful and
the weak It's the most difficult thing
in the world to put a prisoner behind
the bars if he has money. | believe
that our laws are as just as any on
the globe, yet the fact is that nowhere
! on the planet has there been an en-
/ forcement of the square deal. 1t is
always assumed that there should be
q privileged few. The law has al
ways been regarded as check to the
common people This privileged class
has had the more to do with the max,
Ing and the less to do with obeyine
the law. But l believe in this coun
try the time is coming when the
criminal millionaire shall walk in loci
