German Newspapers
Say Taft Has Made
Miserable Blunder

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Declaring that
President Taft has furnished the world
a shining example of shirtsleeve poll
tics, which makes him the laughing
stock of the world, the Post, one Of
Germany's most conservative papers,
this afternoon jeers America for the at
titude she has taken with respect to
Russia.
The Post says in part:
America has always been noted for its
lack of culture and good breeding. and
It's failure to have any conception OF
good manners in political affairs.
1.-The action of Taft Is shining ex.
ample of shirt-sleeve politics, and shows
that the supposedly conservative Presi'
dent. is possessed of the rough cowboy
spiritS which fourishes In Americas pc.
litical circles.
"The position of America Is one of
the utmost political insolence. Presi-
dent Taft Is assuming the role Of q
guardian of world morals. Is 1t pos
sible there is nothing at home for
him to do along this line? He has
made himself a laughing stock for all
Europe. Americas theatrical pose IL
all b1uff, and should not be taken Sc
riously 1t only remains for Russia
10 stand Arm. The United States will
hot dare to go to war. II she does.
Russia can count on Japan to use her
fleet to protect the Slavonic posses
sions in the orient"

Russians DenOunce
United States for
Stand on Treaty

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 1s.-Anti-
Semitic agitators are denouncing the
United States on every hand today, fol.
lowing the notification by President Taft
that the treaty Of 1882 would be abro-
gated. Although unwilling to talk for
publica ton, government officials are
very bitter toward the American Gov
eminent and there Is considerable talk
Of boycotting American goods both at
home and in Manchuria.
The government believes that Presi-
dent Taft's action was taken In order
to bolster up an already weakened
political popularity and that he expects
to retain his office through the In
fiuence Of Hebrew money and votes
News of the sudden rupture in the
relations between the two countries is
being suppressed to a certain extent,
but the public has received at least a
vague idea Of the situation through the
bitter anti-American editorials that ap-
peared I'm this mornings press.
American Ambassador Curtis Guild.
jr, held another conference with NJ.
Sazonoff, minister of foreign affairs, to-
day, but neither would discuss the meet
Ing.
There is every indication that Russia
will allow the treaty to lapse and will
refuse to enter into new one. This
would leave Russie free to deal with
Americana subjects as she sees fit. and
also would work considerable hardship
upon American exporters.

Danger Of Consumption
Lies in Neglect
No More Dangerous Than Any Other
Disease II Taken in Time.

People who have Consumption sac
rifice their lives needlessly II they
give up and take it for granted that
nothing can be done for them.
Consumption, it has been demon
strated in Europe, can be overcome
even in it's worst stages, and while
new lung tissue cannot be formed
what remains can be protected
against the ravages of the Tubercle
Baciln.
One Of the leading preparations in
carrying on this fight in Europe Is
Sirolin, preparation which has been
imported into this Country lately in
large quantities to assist in the work
here.
Those suffering from Consumption
or weak lungs should not fail to Sc
cure the aid of Sirolin to assist them
back to health.
Information about Sirolin can be
secured in this Country from the
Sirolin Company, 22S West Broad
way, New York City.
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

London Comments
But Little Upon
Treaty Squabble

LONDON. Dec. 19.-London papers
this afternoon give very little comment
on the rupture between Russia and the
United States. They evidently do not
look upon the situation as serious and
express the opinion that a new treaty
will be made along more modern lines.
The Pail Mall Gazette blames the Demo-
Gratis for the abrogation.
The Globe attributes Taft's action to
a desire for Jewish support in the COM
ing campaign.

DIFFERENCES OF SEX.

All that the discriminating jury
gave to the New Yorker who came on
the worlds comedy-farce stage with
breach of promise suit for $4,000
against a lovely woman was a merry
laugh. Man must sUothe his broken
heart with balm other than ready
cash. 1t may be a one-sded arrange
ment in these days when women are
demanding equality in a. things, but
that is the arrangement and man can
do nothing about it, particularly as
his kind is on the jury For lovely
woman, who has the letters to show
for it, getting money in a breach of
promise case is like abstracting stick
candy from the plant fingers of the
prattlng babe. 1t is said that women
are the harshest judges of women
They are kind and charitable as com
pared to man jurors when they catch
a fellow man tangled up in a doubtful
love affair. They soak him if they
can. And they can. With the same
line of double meaning letters a CIR
could have extracted spending money

SECOND SECTION
SOCIALISTS WILL
START COLONY

KANSAS CITY, Mo, oct, 2l.-A CO.
operative colony of forty families near
Independence, Mo, a suburb of Kan
sas City, will be started early next
spring. Socialists from all over the
United States have been in Kansas
City the last week working out the
plan for the colony and they have pur-
chased a site of thirty-fve acres on
which the colony will be established
Although the plan is promoted by
the Socialists and is a part of a ma
tional socialistic program for estab-
fishing such colonies near every large
city in the United States, it is not
only for Socialists, but for any per
son who desires to become a member
Of a cooperative colony. The colony
here will be the headquarters for the
national movement and the Socialists
establishing the colonies in other
places will work out of this colony.
George e. Littlefeld, editor Of
Socialist magazine and president of
the national socialistic organization,
in expressing the aim of the move
ment, said:
THE plan of fellowship farms or
colonies is simply an opportunity for
group of persons, seeking a more
secure and a better life-free from
landlord. free from uncongenial sur
roundings and possibly an industrial
boss-to get together, pool their saw
ings comparatively, buy land near a
large city, add costs Of interest taxes
and insurance and Improvements and
then divide the whole into equal
shares and each pay his part without
spectators or brokers' rakeoG.'

THUGS
DENIED FREEDOM

Supreme Court today denied the mo-
ton of the defendant for a writ Of
supersedeas. so they might be admit.

the Supreme Court in the case of vii.

Bell and other workmen employed on
the building being constructed by the
HYGIENE Ice Company in Chicago to
quit work, strike Of union men
against the building being on at the
time. Chief Justice Carter, in deny.
ing the motion, said:
"a motion for a writ of supersedeas
was made in this court October 6, and
was denied. The plaintiffs in error
then asked for leave to substitute an
other prayer by their attorney and to
file a new motion for a writ of su.
persedeas, which was allowed The
attorney today based his motion on
the same grounds made by the former
attorneys for plaintiffs in error. Nc
reasons were given, except a few ad
ditional authorities. Under ordinary
practice, a new motion under these
circumstances, will never be consider
ed by the court but of course we hat
to investigate the motion to find ou
if there were any additional reasons
than those given above"

LACKS BRAINS
To RULE ALONE

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-"The question
of woman's suffrage is not due to a
whim of some woman who wants to
vote. 1t is based upon an uncompro-
missing scientific fact" declared the
Rev. William e. Clark in an address
before the Political Equality League
of the Chicago Woman's Club at the
Fine Arts building this afternoon.
Man hasn't sufficient brain capac-
ity for deciding all the questions that
arise in human society. To be exact,
man, being only half the race, has
Just half enough ability to act for the
race. No other adequate explanation
can be made of some of the infamous
laws and regulations that govern So
ciety at the present time
Mr.. Clark laid the blame for what
he termed the slavery of women
upon the men of the church, who, he
declared, have fought hard to OBJ,
struct the emancipation of women, al
though were it not for women half OF
the Protestant churches would go out
of business"

CHICAGO PLANS SOMETHING NEW
IN THE WORLDS GREAT STREETS

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-"Action of The
city council at it's last meeting in APP
propriating $4,000 for the board of
local improvements to use in an esti-
mate on plan for the boulevard link
on Michigan avenue is a boon to the
work of the Chicago plan commits
sion, and is a great step in the right
direction said Managing Director
Walter d. Moody today in discussing
the work of the commission. The
two level plan, or plan 8, opens the
way for Chicago to complete a prac-
teal thoroughfare more splendid in
its conception and advantage than
now exists anywhere. This combined
business plaisance and shore drive
will outrival New York's boosted
worlds greatest thoroughfare, Lon
dons Piccadilly and Rotten Row, the
far famed Champs Elysees of Paris,

accomplished at economical cost, and
at the same time effect a tremendous
saving to the business interests OF

This is an opportunity to com

the name of George Auackoolani had
been deserted by his inamorata, but
she had left behind her little girl,
aged nine years. Perhaps she had

anger of Auaekoolani, and he pro-

When found by the sheriff the girl
was chained up and in such a state of

KEEPING PIE
FROM TAFT

EEGEMONT, S. d., Oct. 21.---
President Tafts good health on his
long tour is attributed TO the diet
prescribed for him bv Major Thomas
l.. Rhoads of the army, his official
physician. Mr.. Taft probably does
not know the extent to which his food
is limited for so far he has not com
planned. His fellow travellers in the
private car Ideal-SecretaTy Hilles,
Major Butt and Major .Rhoads-are
taking advantage of their chief in this
respect.
For instance, the president is de-
MED all pastry. Yesterday for lunch
con the cook baked a savory apple
pie Everybody in the car knew
about it except the president. When
the midday meal was ended the con-
spirators retired to one of the state
rooms, where a table had been set for
the pie. They Toasted royalty on the
masterpiece in pastry while the pres
ident sat alone and neglected in the
observation end of his car, wondering
what had become of his staff.
Every day that pie is on the menu
in the Ideal there is a lot of tiptoeing
and the word is passed along the line
to stand by" and prepare for some
thing like mother used to make.
Some day the president will discover
the deceit practiced upon him and
there will be trouble, il is predicted
President Taft was up before seven
a. m. today to make the first speech
of his three days tour Of South
Dakota, the first insurgent state il
which he has travelled since leayinl
California. The program calls fol

GERMANS TURN
TO HORSE MEAT

BERLIN. Germany, oct 21.-Prices
of all kinds of meat have risen to
such an extent throughout the Ger
man empire that horsehesh has he
come an article of common consump-
ton. In the first six months of this
year 35,277495 pounds of horsehesh
were sold, against 45,45S,6S3 pounds
of mutton
In view of the great agitation for
decrease in import duties on food
stuffs and the abolition of the export
bounty system which raises the price
of fodder, the Prussian minister OF
agriculture has issued a decree IN
which he points out the great differ
ence between wholesale and retail
prices, especially in regard to pork,
which is the favorite meat of the Ger
mans, forming more than half OF the
total of meat consumed The minis
ter enioins the cities to endeavor to
bring about an understanding with
the retailers and if they are unable
TO do so to take effective action by
selling meat, vegetables, fruit, and
more especially fish, themselves, and
to this end he promises to arrange
that reduced railroad freight tariffs
shall be accorded to municipalities
which provide retail food stores for
the benefit of their citizens.
Wilmersdorf and other suburbs OF
Berlin have started municipal fish
stores which are a great success and
Berlin has decided to open seventy
stalls for similar purpose in The
public markets. Many provincial cit
les are following the example.
