her death.

TAFT AND TOGO TALK PEACE
At BANQUET IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Presi-
dent Taft tonight extended to Japan
through the nations guest, Admiral
Togo, at a dinner in the White House
in honor of the japanese naval hero,
an invitation to join the United
States, Great Britain and France in
the great world movement for inter-
national peace.
Rising from his chair between Adj
miral Togo and Speaker Clark, the
president offered toast to the en-
peror of Japan. Then, turning to To-
go, he said:
81 would indeed fail in my duty and
be untrue to my own deep convictions
did | not take this occasion of the
first public welcome to you as our ma
tional guest to express my own APP
probation and that of the American
people of the broad and humanitarian
view taken by his majesty the en-
per or of Japan, and the imperial Jap
anese government, in so readily and
generously affirming in the most posi-
tive and solemn manner that no con-
sideration of selfish interest should be
permitted to obstruct the progress of
the great world movement for inter-
national peace as exemplified in the
general treaties of arbitration be-
tween the United States, Great Bri-
tain and France signed on the day of
your arrival in this country.
Hopes Japan Will Join.
81 gladly acknowledge this impor-
tant part which Japan has played in
facilitating this notable achievement
by its prompt and unreseryed recogni-
ton, in the recent Anglo-Japanese
agreement, of the great moral princi-
pie of arbitration, and | entertain the
hope with confidence that the time
may not be far distant when Japan
will see fit to join in the movement
now so auspiciously inaugurated."
In toasting the emperor of Japar
the President said:
ITO one who has shown himself a
great ruler, who has given all his
time and energy and intellect to the
progress of his country and the pres
ervation of the interests of the peo
pie, whose wonderful power in the Sc
lection of great men to accomplish
great tasks has lifted Japan to a place

the mixing being made eifectual by
revolving blades.
The resultant semi-fuid mixture IS
then conveyed in cars to drying bins
where it remains for a day or two
and when taken out is known to the
, trade as acid phosphate. This is the
basis of all the fertilizers, which are

RAILWAY OPERATING EXPENSES

Railway operating expenses have
been expanding to such an extent,
largely because of higher wages, that
a number of the leading systems have
deemed it advisable to appeal TO their
employees to help effect economies. In
other words the railways are taking
the rank and file of their workers into
their confidence. This is a worthy
movement, one which should receive
the hearty cooperation of every en-
ploye on the salary roll of a railway.
The chief aim of the railroads is to
