TAFT'S MESSAGE
ON FOOD PRICES
Finds High Cost OF Living Is
Worldwide.
STATE Department HAS FACTS
Inquiry Through Consular Ofsees Digs
Up Information that Acting Sec
rotary of State Wilson Trans
mits to Congress.

Washington, March Ia. = In spe-
cial message to congress, the presi-
dent transmitted the first Install
ment of the information collected by
the department of state in regard TO
cooperation and the cost of living in
various European countries.
The department, by direction of the
president, instructed the consular Of
ficers to make the investigation. The
results of the inquiry are summed up
in a letter from Acting Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson, which he
submitted with the consular reports
and with a summary of their con-
tents.
The president in his message says
that the popular demand for informa-
ton of this character apparently was
based on the belief that some remedy
might be found for the high cost OF
living. The immediate result of the
inquiries instituted by the department
of state through the consular officers
was to accentuate the fact that the
increase in the prices of the common
necessities of life is worldwide, and
that it is an absorbing question with
the cooperative associations.
Intelligence presented by the coop
erative societies shows that even
where there has been an advance in
wages the percentage has not kept
] pace with the rise in the cost of food
supplies. The president says that the
information collected by the depart
! ment of state is a permanent contribu-
ton to the history of the efforts of
producers and consumers to solve for
production, distribution and consump-
! ton.
If the cooperative associations
which have been in existence for half
| a century have not been able to de
| termine the fundamental causes of the
increased cost of living or to retard
the advance, the student of social
progress may at least derive instruc-
/ ton from the account of the associa-
tions and their influence on the we'll
being of their members.
| Referring to the general subject
matter of the consular reports the act.
| ing secretary of state says that much
interest attaches to the cooperative
associations in the United Kingdom
because England may be said to he
the nursery of these societies The
consular officers describe the incep
ton and growth and the organization
and operation of the cooperative as
sociations, both distributive and pro
ductive
1t is noted that the increased regis.
tration of cooperative societies in re
cent years is probably due to the i'm
petus given TO the organization of CO
operative agricultural societies through
the parent Agricultural Organization
society. The cooperative agricultural
societies are aided by the parent so
ciety in negotiations with railway com
panies, government departments, and
business houses.

Many Driven From Home.

Every year, in many parts of the
country, thousands are driven from
their homes by coughs and lung
diseases. Friends and business are
left behind for other climates, but
this is costly and not always sure.
A better way-the way of multitudes
is to use DR.. Kings New Dis
covery and cure yourself at home.
Stay right there, with your friends,
and take this safe medicine. Throat
and lung troubles find quick relief
and health returns. Its help in
coughs, colds, grip, Group, whooping

tive blessing. SOC and $1.00. Trial

NAB THREE IN TOMB CASE
Dissertation of MausoIeum of Late w
L. Scott Causes Arrests.

Erie, Pa, March 15.-Mortimer H.
Hall, labOrer, was arrested here
charged with conspiracy to desecrate
the mausoleum of the family of the
late Congressman w. l.. Scott, which
was broken into and vandalized year
ago last February.
Almost simultaneously Harry H.
Perkins, who with his father ran a de-
tective agency that was employed to
run down the vandals, and James Nc
Kane, an employee of the agency. were
arrested in Pittsburg, also charged
with conspiracy. The arrests were
made by United States officers.
Gilbert B. Perkins, the head of the
agency, and Charles Franklin, Phil
adelphia manager, were convicted of
sending black hand letters in connec-
ton with the case.

carry any one of these % republic
an states with the exception of Mary
land and Tennessee. He would be
assured of at least 218 electoral
votes to start with. 1t would be
necessary for him then in order to
carry the election to win in other
states an aggregate of only 48 cleo
torial votes.
The Roosevelt fight, therefore
would have to be made In Northern
States which now have Democratic
administrations. There are twelve
of these states-Colorado, with siz
electoral votes; Connecticut, q
Idaho, 4 Indiana, Is; Maine, 6;
Massachusetts, IS; Montana, 4
New Jersey, IA; New York, As:
North Dakota, 5; Ohio, "a; and
Oregon, 6. Total 153.
On the showing made in the last
three national campaigns, every one
of these states ought to be easily
Republican. Mr.. Taft lost Colorado
and Nebraska in 1908, but Col
Roosevelt carried both easily in
1904.
On any figuring which can be
made in regard to the twelve states
now administered by Democratic
governors, it would be easy for Col
Roosevelt to win the forty-eighi
votes necessary in addition to the
218 from states that are at present
Republican, to carry them to vie
tory.
He could win without Indiana
Ohio, New York, New Jersey anC
Connecticut combined. To do so ht
would have to hold the states nov
Republican-except Maryland ani
Tennessee-and carry, in addition
the New England states of Maine
and Massachusetts, which have never
failed the Republican party in {
presidential campaign. And tn,
western states of Colorado, Idaho
Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, il
all of which he is EXCEPTIONAL,

LIFE OF KING OF
ITALY ATTEMPTED
Anarchist Fires upon Victor
Emmanuel in Rome.
ANTONIO DALBA IS ASSAILANT
Several Shots Directed at Monarch,
Who, with Queen Helena, Is Rid
ing in Procession to
the Pantheon.

Rome, March Is. = Several shots
were fired at King Victor Emmanuel
in an attempted assassination. All,
however, missed their mark and his
majesty escaped unhurt. His assail-
ant, who gave his name as Antonio
Dalba, was arrested.
The king, with Cueeu Helena, was
just leaving the pi ace, on his way to
the Pantheon to nd the annual
memorial service IN honor of his
father, King Humbert, who was slain
by an assassin at Monza, July 20,
1900. by the anarchist Bresci, who had
travelled from the United States to
strike down the king for the reac-
tionary policies of his ministers.
Dalba fired several shots from be-
hind the crowds in the street. One
of the officers of the kings bodyguard
fell dangerously wounded.
There was tremendous excitement
in the crowd, which turned on Dalba,
mere youth, and attempted to lynch
him. The police finally rescued him
The king was cool and unruffled
amid all the excitement He con-
tinued on his way after only a brief
stop and sat through the Pantheon
services without a sign of emotion.
| The populace handled the assassin
so roughly before the police could in
tervene that the youth was hardly able
to speak when he reached the police
station. Dalba declared he was an
"individualist anarchist"
The procession was passing along
the Via Lata when the shots rang out
from amid the crowd. The soldiers
following the carriage Immediately
dashed forward and as they did so
their commander fell from his horse.
The wounded officer was moved to
one side by some of his men while
the others dashed up to the royal car
riage, where they found the king and
queen sitting calm and unmoved.
Meanwhile the crowd seized the man
who had fired the shots and attempt
ed to lynch him. He was so badly
handled that he was scarcely able to
answer questions when he was hand
ed over to the police.
! The royal procession was scarcely
interrupted. but proceeded toward the
Pantheon, where the mass for King
Humbert was completed without fur
ther incident, and after the conclusion
/ of the service the king and queen re-
turned to the Quirinal along the same
route.
1t has been ascertained that Major
! Langa's wound was received in an eff
/ fort to protect the king and queen
| He saw Dalba aiming his revolver at
the royal carriage and spurred his
horse alongside, bending over so that
his own body and that of his horse
should cover the king and queen. II
it was not for this quick and brave
action it is. believed the bullet which
struck him would have hit either the
king or queen.
The king has ordered thanksgiving
services for the escape of himself and
| Queen Helena.
Dalba has been convicted three
times on charges of theft and once
for beating his mother Notwithstand
ing the lack of corroborative evidence
the belief that Dalba was the agent
of a band of plotters is growing

The Easy" Vacuum Cleaner.

We have had our Vacuum Clean
er, the Easy" manufactured by
Dodge and Zuill of Syracuse, N. Y,
long enough to feel perfectly con-
fident of its merits.
This time of the year when rugs
are especially full of dust, and can
not be taken out to be cleaned
particularly if heavy coal stove
rests on the one used most, one ap-
lpreciates a vacuum cleaner.
As 1 said our Vacuum Cleaner is
called the Easy" 1t is easy only
comparatively, but we cannot expect
excellence without some labor. Ours
is a hand machine and it takes
energy to work it but meanwhile il
is not running up a bill for cleo
tricity, and is just the thing for
those In the country who have no
electric power to call into service
Dodge and Zuill manufacture an
electric Cleaner which costs $4,000
my hand one cost $25.00) which
imagine would be easy" indeed
The easy feature of this one is
paying the bill for power.
The important thing about the
Easy Vacuum Cleaner is that it
does the work. 1t will take up a
fine black dirt, lots Of it, just such
as you could never get up with a
broom. 1t saves all the dust arts
ing in the room as. it sucks it all in
to The cleaner. 1t also sucks In the
germs which rise with the dust stir
ed up by broom and must there
fore be the sanitary way to clean a
rug or carpet. 1t saves busting
afterward, as there is no dust stirred
up. 1t is valuable therefore in a
room where fine curtains, etc. hang
Perhaps that is the reason mine
have not gotten as dirty as usual
this year. Also the Cleaner may
account for the fact that we have
had no bad colds this winter.
Another beauty about the easy
Vacuum Cleaner" is that it is so
strongly built that it seems it will
last lifetime
Considering cleanliness, comfort,
and health I regard the easy
Vacuum Cleaner" an economical In
vestment in any home.
A number Of my -neighbors and
friends have used my Vacuum Clean
e. and all have been delighted with
III nd speak of it in terms of high
est praise.

SHOWING ELECTORAL VOTE
Figures of the Different States
Present Facts Which Prove
That Colonel Could Be Elect
ed With Ease.

(From Roosevelt National Committee
The real purpose of the campaign
next fall is the election of repub-
lican to the presidency of the United
States in November. To accomplish
that ought to be the first object OF
the National Convention at Chicago
In June
In only twenty-three of the forty
eight states is the administration
now In the hands of the Republicans.
The states which have republican
governors, with their vote In the
electoral college, are:
California, ID: Delaware, 5; Illinois.
%; Iowa, 13; Kansas, 10; Maryland,
8; Michigan, Is; Minnesota, II;
Missouri, ID; Nebraska, 8; New

Island, 5; South Dakota, 5; Tenne-
ssee, II; Utah, A; Vermont, A;
Washington, Z; West Virginia, 8;
Wisconsin, 10; and Wyoming, g.
Total 23S.
There will be 331 votes In the
electoral college, making 266 neces-
sary to a choice If the Republic
ans can hold the states In whicn
they now have the governorship
thew will need only % additional
votes to carry the next presidential
electional Normally the republic
ans can be expected to carry all
these states except Maryland and
Tennessee. Deducting the twenty
votes of these two states leaves 21s
electoral votes, which under norma
conditions, the republicans would b.
reasonably sure of carrying.
But the conditions this year are
very far from normal. The Govern.
ors of Kansas, Michigan, Missouri
Nebraska, New Hampshire, South
Dakota, West Virginia and Wyom
ing have openly joined the move
ment for the nomination of Colone
Roosevelt. The aggregate electoral
votes of these states is seventy-one
In seven other states which nov
have republican governors-Cali
fornia, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota
New Mexico, Washington and Wis
consin-there is also decided OPP
position to President Taft. Thes'
states have an aggregate of ninet,
