BARNES CHOSEN FLOOR MAN
New Yorker Will Fight Taft Battles
at Convention.

Washington, May 30.-WilliaH
Barnes, Jr., of New York has been Sc
lected to manage the Taft campaign
on the floor of the Chicago conven-
tion and the announcement fills with
delight the hearts of Taft men in this
city The reason for selecting Barnes
in preference to other men supposed
ly available is that a rough time is
expected and that man who is not
afraid of rough methods and who can
employ a few himself, if necessary, is
needed.
Mr.. Barnes has confronted Roose-
welt before and conducted at the New
York fight of 1910 battle which
showed that Rooseveltism had no ter.
rors for him. The Taft people believe
they have got the right man for such
job and are immensely pleased with
their choice. In consequence of this
selection Mr.. Barnes will assume the
entire management of the Taft fight
the moment the campaign is carried
to the floor.

War ON WHITE VI PLAGUE

Washington, May 30.-Substantial
progress in the nationwide warfare
on the white plague has been made
in the last year, according to re-
ports to the convention opened here
today by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis.
One of the principal topics before
the meeting is that the permanent
value of the cure of tuberculosis in
restoring patients to working etfic-
iency. 1t is pointed out in this
connection that even considered in
a cold-blooded and commercial way
the warfare on tuberculosis is pro-
table from dollars and cents view
point.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale has
prepared revised figures and stats
tics as to the cost of tuberculosis,
which show the tremendous eco
nomic loss from the disease and the
value of sanatorium treatment in
offsetting this loss. Relations that
should exist between public health
officers. physicians and laymen in
fighting the dread disease will also
be considered

MEYER IN AN INTERVIEW

GAINESVILLE Argus: A. G.. Meyer of
Mankato, who was in this place
Friday, states that the recent pri-
maries in that city he was put on
the Roosevelt ticket although as a
matter of fact he is Taft man
He cannot understand why the peo-
pie should desert Taft except upon
the theory that they are easily car
ried away by the unusual conditions
that exist through the pyrotchniC
campaign put up by Mr.. Roosevelt
SO far as issues are concerned there
is no real necessity of going back
on the president. 1t is a mere mat
ter of opinion relative to the CON
tention that this one or that one
represents progressive principles. 1t
is Juggling with common sense to
say that the one is progressive and
that the other is not 1t is the
height of absurdity to refer to a
certain faction as being reaction
airy. There is no such thing in the
political catalogue. For convenience
sake and to mistify the average
iulllu t0S term progressive ana
reaCtionary are used. But neither
the one or the other possesses any
significance whatever SO far as estab-
fishing definitely the attitude of
any faction as to progress or as to
! what may be conceived to be progress.
Were it not for the agitation and
the inflammable condition of the public
mind rendered susceptible to any and
all sorts of fanCies that have no
real lasting basis Taft would have
no opposition for as a matter of
fact his career and his administration
measure up fully to that of any
other career or any other admins
tration when it comes to enumerat-
ing real work and real achieve
ments. Some of Tafts policies stand
out far in advance of other policies
as applied to enlightened and per-
manent progress notably his prop
osition for universal arbitration
turned down and defeated through
the influence of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Other achievements and other things
might be mentioned going to es-
tablish the fact that Taft is a pro
gressive of the real genuine sort,
the sane and safe progressive. Con
sidering all these things Mr.. Meyer
would let well enough alone and
elect Taft this fall by big ma
iOrity. co.,. $751;. 1000.

SENATE REPEALS
CANADIAN PACT

Washington May 3O.-The senate
repealed the Canadian reciprocity act
including the section which permits
the Importation of print paper free oil
duty from Canada. The vote was 81
to q. 1t was nonpartisan vote
The matter came up in most unusual
wa> and when the roll call was com.
pleted the alignment on the amend
ment was not significant of any par
ticular school Of political thought.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota, a
Republican progressive, prccipitated
the matter by Offering an amendment
to the bill revising the metal schedule
which proposed to repeal all of the
Canadian reciprocity act except the
section which provides for free print
paper. s.. a--1
Then Senator Gallinger, Republic
an regular, felt inspired to offer a
substitute to Senator GrOnnas pro
posed amendment to repeal the Canad
ian reciprocity act in it's entirety
Senator Gallinser suggested softly
that he did not expect his amendment
would appeal to the senate, but he de
sired to sound that body on the mat
ter *"
Senator Cummins, another progress
sive, explained he could not vote fol
the Gallinger amendment, because the
effect of adopting it would be to re
store duty of 1915 provided in the
Payne-Aldrich bill, on importations OF
print paper from Canada.
Cummins offers Provision.
Senator Cummins explained that a
duty of 81 ton fairly represented the
difference in the cost of producing
print paper in the United States and
in Canada. He thereupon offered a
provision to Senator Gallinger's
amendment, which enacted that here
after 81 ton shall be imposed and
collected on i'm portations Of print pa
per no matter from what country the
importation may come.
This proposal was then adopted by
the senate. by majority of ten-3I
yeas to 81 nays. Progressive Repub
Leans, like Borah. Bourne, Clapp and
Gronna, voted for it. along with such
resular Republicans as Brandege, CLARK
of Wyoming. Crane OF Massachusetts
and Pearose Of Pennsylvania.
Among the senators voting against
st.. were Esistow and PoinGcxtc., pro
gressive Republicans.
The effect CT the adoption Of the
amendment, il it remains in confer
ence and the bill should become a
law, would be to restore the duty on
print paper. so far as all practical pur
poses are concerned. Nearly all the
importatiors OF print paper in the
United States now come from Canada
and under the Canadian reciprocity
act were free of duty.
While on the face CT it the amend
ment purports to make reduction in
the duty from $3.75 ton to 81 a ton
the reduction viii not be felt by con
sumers. who do their importing from
Canada instead of from those coun
tries where the duty of 1918 ton
applies.

Babylon, the Great City.

In the symbolical language of the Book
Of Revelation. as already indicated. the
name Babylon is applied, not only to the
typical woman. Papacy. and her mystical
Daughters, the Protestant denominations.
but also applied to the great CITY. Mystic
Babylon. The woman more particular
ly represents the ecclesiastical systems,
and the 'city" more particularly repre-
sents the governmental features-the
sacerdotal or religious authority to gov
ern and control the kingdoms, the nations
of the earth.
We all remember the story of history
respecting the literal city of Babylon. with
its most wonderful wallis and hanging
gardens. We all remember how it was
built across the river Euphrates. which
flowed through it's center. and was sup
posed to protect 1t fully from the hazard
Of an invasion Besides its vast store
houses Of food 1t had the whole river for
its water supply.
Babylon was therefore reckoned mpreg-
nable. So Mystic Babylon. Christendom
of our day. is a most mastery organiza-
ton It's walls are built of ignorance
and superstition. whose great foundations
were laid centuries ago. Literal Baby
Ions great gates of brass, which came
down to the rivers level. represented in
Mystic Babylon worldly wisdom. human
ingenuity and dexterity of organiza ton
to maintain the control of the waters.
and to protect the City from possible
approach from that direction.
But what Is signifed by the waters
the river? We answer that in symbolic
language generally water has two dis
tinct interpretations: ID Water symbolizes
Truth (2) Water also symbolzes reve-
nues, from outside peoples and Kingdoms
And so in Revelation we read that the
woman with the golden cup stitch upor
many waters: and the waters which
thou sawest are peoples and multitudes
and nations, and tongues" Revelatior
| xvii. 1-15) This woman" does not reigr
