formation upon which I based my vetoes
"Were I faced with the same situa-
tion again I would do exactly rs have
done. The reductions proposed and
others that are needed will be made by
the Republican party when the necessary
facts pertaining to the subjects treated
have been assembled by experts and
laid before the President and the Con-
gress. That Is what the tariff board
Is to do. 1t Is to sit at the right hand
of Congress and the President in all
tariff legislation and be their counselors.
Without that form of assistance We shall
never be able to frame tariffs that will
do Justice alike to consumer and manu-
facturer.
THE Republican party, 1t should be
borne in mind. is still the party of pro-
lection to American labor and manufac-
ture. The Democratic party is still the
party OF free trade.
Gov. Wilson is proving this In his
campaign speeches and in his every
utterance on the tariff question. What
the Progressive party's attitude toward
protection Is nobody seems to know ex-
actly. They profess to have some meth
cd by which they Increase wages, but
prevent any Increased profit to the en-
ployer. We have not been told how
this can be DONE"

DO you regard the prosperity of the

Indeed l do. The facts bear me out
in this assertion. Seldom before has the
business of the country been in a more
thriving condition or the profits of in

Some of the effects of that are over

dissatisfaction are still in existence.
But the evil forces which brought II all
about have largely been checked and

There is now not the slightest feel

President Taft feels no more deeply on
any subject now pressing for attention
and delicately careful treatment than on
the situation in Mexico. In discussing
this matter he speaks with great caution
and selects his words carefully. But
he will not say what his purpose Is, II
as yet he has decided upon a course of
action. It can be asserted. however, as
fact that he is not contemplating. as
stated in dispatches from Washington
and points along the Mexican border. the
calling OF a special session of Congress
to consider the question of Intervention.

PLANS FOR DISPLAYING THE
HERALD CONTEST AWARDS
Work of Selecting Them Has Been Completed by The
Advocate Yesterday Was Busy Day

| test is now being considered by The Ad
vocate. He will not divulge any of the

1t is one which will unquestionably be
of The Herald.
The Advocate has not yet fully decided
| whether or not the plan under consider
alton will be put into effect. He said
last night. however, that II it is definite
ly decided to adopt the plan, minute de.
tails will be announced within the next
week through the medium of The Her
aid.
The work of selecting the awards was
completed last night, and II is expected
that a full list of them will be published
within a short time. There are numer-
Gus details which will have to be set
tied before these awards can be for
mally announced. The Advocate has
been unusually careful in making the
various selections. He has deiberated
long over the NATTER and has given
more than a month Of his time and labor
to the work.
Altogether there will be $50 awards
The total value Of them will be s25.O COO
The grand award will be a 5000 house
and lot in one of Washington's residen-
tial sections. This award will be given
to the contestant securing the greatest
number of votes in the entire District of
Columbia, irrespective Of the four con-
test districts. There will be four sets
CT awards-one group for each of the
four districts. These will be given to
the contestants procuring the greatest
number Of votes in their districts. The
division Of the city into districts is for
the purpose Of distributing the awards
equally among the various sections of
the District. These divisions have abso-
lutely no reference to the securing of
votes. Contestants will be given votes
for purchases at the establishments of
retail merchants advertising in connec-
ton with the contest, irrespective OF
whether or not the establishments are
located in the contest district in which
the contestant resides.
Yesterday was busy day for The

Advocate and his large STAFF OF assist
ants. All day long a continuous stream
CT contestants poured into the office
Some came to deposit votes: others call
ed to deposit mediums Of exchange: and
Still others came to talk over the compe-
tftion with The Advocate The dapper
little fellow is always ready to discuss
| the contest with competitors II there is
awning hazy In the minds of contest
ants concerning the competition, they
should not hesitate to communicate with
The Advocate, either through the mails
in person, or by telephone.
Many OF the contestants who entered
the office yesterday carried immense
bundles containing labels. wrappers, box
tops. cartons, &c, from manufactured
products advertised in connection with
the competition. Between the hours of
i:S0 and $50 o'clock there was an unus-
ually large rush.
The work connected with the contest
is being handled in most scientific
manner. The Advocate has spent much
of his time devising means Of simplify
ing and expediting the work A card
index system containing the names of
all of the contestants has been installed
and is proving to be of inestimabIe value
These names are arranged alphabetically
and according to contest districts. BY
means Of the system II Is possible TO
tell the standing OF a contestant in a
second without the slightest difficulty.
The Advocate is always ready to give
this Information to competitors A COM
plete list Of the contestants will be pub
lished after the contest is well under
way After being once published, the
relative standing OF the contestants will
be given at frequent intervals, perhaps
every week or two. The Advocate has
a reason for Withholding the standing I'M

OF the long race comes next February
Contestants have nearly five months yet

Why He Vetoed Schedules.

which you once declared to be indefensi,
BILE.
THE uniformed seem to have appro-
priated to themselves full knowIedge of
the motives that actuated me in that
matter" President Taft responded.
They are saying that I vetoed the bill
carrying reductions in those schedules
from the Payne-Aldrich law because
wished thereby to emphasize my deter
mination to give the tariff board full
opportunity to demonstrate its value and
efficiency.
No such purpose was in mind when I
wrote that veto. The plain fact is that
the legislation was wholly Inadequate
to achieve safe reductions The bill
would have wrought serious havoc to the
Industries involved. The chemical sched-
ule as sent to me by Congress was par
ticularly vicious and full of Jokes and
jokers. Every steel industry in the
country. especially the independent and
small concerns. protested earnestly
against the hurried and ill-advised legis-
lation affecting that interest What was
true Of steel and chemicals was equally
true Of cotton and wool
In no more effective manner has the
value-l may say the necessity-of a well
posted tariff board been demonstrated
than In this instance" the President
went on. Il called upon the experts of
the board for detailed information. 1t

New York.-Organlzation among pas
sengers in readiness for quick and or

one of the several interesting points
which Rear Admiral Chadwick, U. S. n,

"At least 500 more might have been
saved" said the admiral in a letter pub
lished, "by careful organization before
hand, such as giving to every passenger
on embarking a card with the number OF
the boat in which he was to go if the
ship was abandoned. Passengers as well
as Grew should know their boat and place

SPY GLASSES WOULD
HAVE SAVED TITANTIC
Frederick Fleet, Who Was on Watch
Makes Admission-Claims He
Could Have Warned Bridge
in Time.

Washington.-Like the missing horse
shoe nail that cost a monarch his king
dom, the failure to provide binoculars
or spy glasses for the lookouts on the
Titanic was one contributing cause Of
that ships loss, and, with it, the loss
of more than 1000 lives.
Two witnesses before the senate in
vestigating committee today agreed on
this. They were Frederick Fleet, a look
out on the liner, and Maj. Arthur God
frey Peuchen, Canadian manufactures
and yachtsman, who was among the
rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he had
been aided in his observation by a good
glass he probably could have spied the
berg into which the ship crashed in time
to have warned the bridge to avoid it,
Mai. Peuchen also testified to the much
greater sweep of vision afforded by
binoculars, and az q yachtsman said he
believed the presence of the iceberg
might have been detected in time to
escape the collision had the lookout mer
been so equipped.
1t was made to appear that the blame
for being without glasses did not rest
with the lookout men. Fleet said they
had asked for them at Southampton anC
were told there was none for them. Ont
glass would have served in the crow;
nest.
Maj. Peuchen criticized in strong term
the lack of experienced sailors on boart
the Titanic. He said when the call t,
quarters was sounded not enough Of tn
crew responded to undertake the work re
Quired in lowering and filling the boats
Furthermore, he said, no drills had beef
held from the time the ship left South
ampton, although it was customary t.
hold such drills every Sunday.

MEN PLAYED CARDS.
Affected Nonchalance They Did Not Feel
to Encourage Others.


New York.-How y group OF men pas
sengers on the Titanic kept a card game
going for th%ree-quarters of an hour after
the steamer struck the iceberg to allay
the fears of others was told by George
Bradley, one of the first cabin passen.
gers. Bradley was playing bridge whist
in a room far aft and felt only a slight
shock from the collision. Henry b. Har'
ris in another party in the same room,
Bradley said, and left his game to go on
deck with Bradley to investigate. Mr.
Harris, Bradley said, found his wife,
saw her to one of the boats and then
came back to the room, to which Bradley
already had returned.
"He told me there was danger" sale
Bradley, "but for the sake Of the womer
and children to make no sign. The or
chestra struck up 'Alexander's Ragtim'

There wasn't a man in the game wht

come and that it wasn't any use to bluff
any longer. People crowded around III
and watched us play the game out, feel

the old hymn sounded, a different feel
ing possessed them. They knew it wa
time to go if any one of US hoped for
chance to get of the ship.
"How airy man was going to save him
self not one OF that bunch knew. l
took only a few moments on deck t.
realize that we were all too late for tn,
lifeboats. The last one was being low
ered."
Bradley said that he ran between
decks and managed to get into a boat a
it was being lowered. The boat was no
a bit crowded, he said, but it was no
more than 100 yards from the Titani
when the steamer went down.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs Of q steady de-
generacy in two sets Of organs vital to
the we'll being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence Is that,
c~oincident with the mental advance OF
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision Of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man. brain
and teeth are inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase OF cunning has
reduced the work OF the teeth, and the
demand of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders OF di-
gestion show that the balance Is un-
satisfactory.

WASHING DAY CONVENIENCE

The value OF the wash-bench Illus

wringer fits over the cross-piece
