PRESIDENT TAFT
TO STAND PAT
Takes Square Issue With
The DalZsll Tariff
BaronS.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb, 13.-Presi.
dent Taft Saturday sounded the re
treat from the schedules of the
Payne Aldrich tariff law. The very
existence of the policy of protection,
the President said, is menaced by
those who presist in opposing reduc-
tons in that law which are based
upon the condition of high prices
and a gradually lessening in the
food supply. The President delivered
his warning 10 the Republican party
IN his address to to the joint assem-.
bly, of the Illinois Legislature upon
reciprocity with Canada. His de-
claration that now is the time to
make a reciprocal trade arrange
ment with Canada came after the
news was flashed from Washington
that the House Committee on Ways
and Means had reported favorably
on the proposed agreement with
Canada, only with the aid of Demo
cratic members.

A Clergyman's Needs.
A clergyman feeling the need of a
typewriter set to work and made him
self one along original lines. This
was Thomas Oliver and the first type
writer he ever used was the machine
of his own invention that he put on
the market about fifteen years ago.
Unlimited Possibilities.
The possibilities of the typewriter
seem hmitless now that the mechan-
ical idea has been brought to perfec-
ton and there are several special ma
chimes and appliances under the OBJ
servation of skilled mechanics and 1t
is very possible that the near future
will see all of these writing devices
perfected and become a commercial
success. In this division of the writ
