Mr. Taft Attacks Speaker Clark.
and HON. Oscar Underwood.

THE President is in desperate straits lie
got there, by breaking his ac0rd If ever
there was a candidate who was pledged to
vote for reduction of tariff taxes, it was Mr..
Taft. Without that pledge, he would prob
ably have been defeated. At all events, he
thought SO, In the summer of 1908; and he
made the pledge as matter of political ne
cessity.
But, once he had got what he wanted, the
President cynically turned his back on those
who had trusted him, and elected him He
made no effort to secure downward revision
Of the tariff; and he signed the bill which al
most doubled the cost of living.
The question went to the people. A thun-
dering rebuke was administered to the admin
istration. A Republican ma jority of 80 was
changed to Democratic majority of g. 1t
was this new Congress that President Taft
called into extra session.
While he desired that Congress consider
nothing but the Reciprocity Treaty, he was put
on notice by Speaker Clark and Chairman
Underwood that the Democrats were pledged
to lower tariff taxes, and that these pledges
must be kept.
It is not the province of the President to
limit the activities of Congress, and narrow
the scope of it's work.
Congress when in session of any Sort is in
session for all purposes. Therefore, Mr. Taft
had no right to prevent Congress from legi5-
lating on other matters than Reciprocity.
In his speeches, he had declared the wooden
taxes "indefensible;" and he had said that
"aoe are bound to promote the prompt elinoi-
nation of instances of injustice from the tariff
zaw." That declaration of duty was made in
December last. The WOODEN schedule being

of the famous Socialist. Her husband is
man OF whom any normal wife would be
proud. He is young, handsome, genteel,
brilliant and manly. His face indicates re-
hnement, sensitiveness, amiablity, genius and
ldealism. He is universally respected, even
by those who like myself, have no sympathy
with many of his beliefs.
Suddenly, his young wife left him; and, ap-
parently for another man. Harry Kemp. She
and Harry are living in the same house, with
her parents
Why did she leave her husband and her
child? From sezfishness
She does not allege that Upton ever said an
unkind word to her. She alleges no cruelty
Of any sort. She merely complains that he
did not give her more of his society. He is
boOk-writer, and spent much of his time alone
His ecife resented this!
In all of her garrulous, shameless talk to
newspaper reporters, she has done little but
talk of herself Her "freedom,' her soul
mate, her enjoyment, her ideals, her happiness
are the sole text of her verbal outpourngs.
She appears to have forgotten her boy; she
has not said word about him. She has not
asked to see the child-has not even inquired
about has health and his happiness
Does the deserted infant cry for has moth
er? DO has sobs and aoaizings, at night, bring
WGtSGIV ~ CIO CtOUYt(LOICNO |UIUHT!
The unnatural mother doesn't know and
doesn't care. You know how the child must
miss it's mother. You know what questions he
must put to his father. You know how the
grief Of the little boy must react on the
father.
"Where IS nay mamma? When is she conn.,
ing 6ach?'
Can't you imagine that you hear the child
asking such questions all through the long,
long days? Cant you almost hear him call
ing for his mother, at highland then sob
bing in his sleep, after crying himself into
exhaustion? Doesn't it bring the tears to
your eyes, to think of it?
But his own mother, unnatural wretch
seems absolutely devoid of any pity affec-
ton for her abandoned offspring! There she
is in New York, wagging her voluble tongue
to the reporters sitting for her photograph,
and preaching to the women of America
about the slavery Of married life! This
depraved, soulless creature has the effrontery
to tell all wives that, if they are tired of their
husbands, they should choose other men.
And desert their children? If they follow
her example, they will.
A nice state of affairs truly!
But, thank God Where there is one such
wife as it was Sinclar's misfortune to get,
there are millions who live for Others: and
who find happiness in it.
Those who live for themselves, alone, are
never happy-aeoer! We are just so consti-
tuted that we must do good to others, to get
any genuine pleasure out of life.
Take, for example, the wife of Captain Van
Shack, who has just been liberated from
Sing Sing.

The question of hill boards, which
IN some localities in the city are be-
coming a nuisance, was also discussed
in council. The members put City
Atty. Judge Hess through & ross fire
of questions, as to what ecourse the
city might have, against the station
ing of ungainly bill boards, at the
edge of sidewalk, throughout the
business and residence sections.
Clizbe referred to a bill board on east
Sophia street, which he deemed more
than a nuisance. Here the papers are
said to become loose, and fall on the
sidewalk. Paste is spilled on the
walks and make a disagreeable spot.
Judge Hess said that the only re-
course which the council might take,
would be in prosecutions IN the
grounds of public nuisance. All Of
these discussions were continued until
the next meeting of the council.

Just now the council is hard after
the regulation of the street depart
ment of the city's economical struc-
fure. For the last couple of months
a probe into the books of the former
street commissioners, and investiga-
ton of methods employed, has been
the program of the city fathers. At
the council meeting held Monday
night according to previous instruc-
fure Street Commissioner Bowles,
fled a complete inventory of tools,
supplies, machinery, and all appur-
fenanees, owned by the city on Janu-
ary LIST, ISL. The inventory showed
that a large quantity of new supplies
purchased last summer, are missing,
and are lost to the city. Councilman
Bergman reported to the council, that
with councilman VanGilder, he had
inspected the books of the retiring
commissioner, also of the present m
eumbent. He found that Mr.. Bowles
is debtor to the city in the amount
of $1.65, so far as the records showed
which are kept by that officer. A
total of $500 In cash is shown to
lave been collected by his pred acessor
no part of which was turned INTO the
city treasury. In his report Bergman
stated, that hithertofore, there had
been absolutely no system used IN the
matter of road taxes, their collection
and credit. The commissioner had In
iunumerable instances, collected
$500 in cash from citizens, and In
sfead of turning the cash into the
CITY treasury, as is required by law,
the officer would pay out the money

Proposes Reforms

Councilman Clizbe led the move
ment for reform In the street depart
ment, after the subject had been ex-
hausted in discussion. Clizbe's plan,
which will be adopted by the council
is as follows:
-First-At the beginning of each
year, an inventory of the tools, etc.
owned by the city shall be taken, and
the same charged up to the street
commissioner, who shall account for
the same, at the expiration of the
year, and be required to supply any
missing tools. The commissioner In
turn a be protected, by charging
each laborer with tools taken out,
which shall be accounted for, at the
end of each days work.
Second-The system of collecting
road taxes must be completely re.
vised. A record of each poll in the
city will be kept, and each will be
charged with the $500 tax, which will
be stricken out upon the presentation
of a receipt from the commissioner
showing one days labor, OF the $500
in cash. All collections to be made
TO the city treasurer and all money
collected to be deposited in the city
treasury. In this ranner the ques-
tion of road taxes viii he systematic
ed, and the city will fear no loss
from that source. The looseness
with which the department has been
conducted in former years has been
= source of wonderment to many
citizens.
