lamentably weak. The farmers ought
TO remember that the president has

has cast his lot with those who fur

presidents veto of the cotton reduc-
ton bill will furnish further evidence
OF the subseryiency to the interests.
No real relief is TO be hoped for from
him"
William jennings Bryan thus sums
up his opinion of Taft. in an extended
review OF the work of the special ses-
sion. lie declares also that several
mistakes We're made by the demo-
cratic house. One was in putting
tariff on raw wool. another in adjourn

in not passing on antitrust bill. and
another in permitting a secret caucus
to control legislation. Greatest of all
he puts down the making of Under,
wood chairman of the ways and means
committee.
'He is not a thorough-going tariff
reformer and his environment Is
against progressive democracy. The
party had a right to expect that a
positive and progressive opponent OF
the whole protective policy would ba
placed at the committees head. The

MILLERS GET RATE CUT

Ruling as Great
Victory.

Minneapolis. - The Jennison grain

ever came before the interstate COM

and the Minneapolis millers are to
pay 21k cents per hundred pounds
on -four from Minneapolis to New
York instead of 90 cents.
The case had been held in allegiance
since 1901 by the commission. Millers
have been shipping at the old rate in
spite of the fact that they won a de-
cision that was never handed down.

battle on their own account. taking

Meanwhile the man did not neglect

she thought OF his business. she would
