LAST GENERAL MESSAGE
is SENT TO CONGRESS

Against Philippine Independence.
Says Work OF Government not Com
pleted in Philippines.
Washington, Dec. 6--President
Taft will make no further effort to
have congress reduce the tariff. In q
general" message to congress sub
mitted today, the president clearly
indicated his intention of leaving fur
ther tariff revision to President elect
Wilson and the congress just elected.
Now that a new congress has been
elected on platform Of tariff for
revenue only rather than "a protective
tariff and is to revise the tariff on
that basis" said the president, lit is
needless for us to occupy the time
OF congress with arguments OF recon-
mcndations in favor of protective
tariff"
This message, the second submitted
by the president since the present
session began, will be his last OF a
general character. 1t dealt with every
department of the government except
the state department. recommended
much of the legislation which MIR.
Taft previously had urged upon the
attention Of congress, and took up and
discussed at length several subjects
compar atively new.
Mr.. Taft came out strongly against
independence for the Philippines pro
posed, he said, in a bill now before
congress. He deprecated the new pol
icy of one battleship year, instead
of two; and indOrsed again the
scheme OF currency reform proposeG
by the national monetary commits
sion.
Conservation was lightly touched,
the president recommending the
of bills now before con-
gress so that water power companies
which dam navigable rivers will con-
tribute to the Improvement of these
streams.
Sherman Law Good Enough.
He declared that no radical change
in the Sherman antitrust law was
needed, and praised the supreme court
Tor It's recently announced changes
in rules OF equity procedure. In this
connection the president asked CON
gress to pass legislation which would
allow the supreme court to formulate
rules OF procedure under the common
law in federal courts and predicted
that such action would facilitate JUS
tice in those courts and reduce the
cost of litigation to the public.
Wants Island Subject.
President Taft did not approve the
proposal for immediate autonomy for
the Philippines and independence in
eight years as proposed in bill pend
ing in congress.
In the Philippine Islands we have
upon an experiment appre-
cedented in dealing with dependent
people" sad President Taft "We
are developing there conditions exclu-
siVely for their own welfare. Through
the unifying forces of a common cdu
cation, Of commercial and economic
development, and of gradual partici
patton in local self-g government. we

MATTHEWS is THE PRESIDENT.
Appears Another Topeka I1aundrynnan
Will Figure in Coming Convention.

Mr. c. H. Matthews. of the Mutual
Laundry Co., is rather indignant and
has right to be. In an article print
ed last evening regarding the coming
convention of the Kansas Launderers
association, to be held at Hutchinson,
March 25 and 26, another man says he
is the only Topeka launderer having a
place on the program
Mr.. Matthews has the honor of being
president of the Kansas Launderers
association and would therefore have a
pretty prominent place on the program.
In his official capacity he arranged the
program for the coming convention and
it was through his courtesy and in
compliment to competitor that the
other Topeka launderer has any place
on the program at all. Besides this a
mistake was made in saying that the
only other Topeka launderer would
make the response to the address of
Mayor Vincent of Hutchinson. The
program shows that this response will
be made by Mr.. Jno. E. Martin, of En-
poria

THE DECLINE OF SANTA CLAUS

The Santa Claus myth is exploded
early in life nowadays Formerly
the mere presence of painted jumping
jacks and sticky candy before the
hearth was irrefutable proof that he
had been there. If some precocious
skeptic asked how he could come
down a narrow chimney, there was al
ways the we'll authenticated fact that
Santa has the power of enlarging and
expanding his body at will. At least
this philosophy was convincing until
one was about 10 years old.
How many children of seven today
believe in dear old Santa?
A. There is a growing scorn now for
delightful unrealities, and not merely
among grown-ups. either. The boy
who once drowsed off to sleep pictur-
ing himself. Staying buffalo and Killing
Indians, is now merely studying how
he can down the kids of the next
street at football One by one the
myths of childhood vanish. 1t is an
age Of cities. People live amid bricks,
mortar, and cement. Myths were born
in darkling forests and among the 81.
lences of the mountains.
Reading fairy stories is regarded
by the children as about on par
with playing with paper dolls. No
boy of seven can any longer be frigh-
tened by the boyle man.
s] Literalists are opposed to the San
ia Claus myth. It destroys faith IN
truthfulness, they say. Yet can the
child mind be brought up in an atmo-
sphere of liberalism today? Every
other word he hears is some fiction
spoken in jest. He must learn to
distinguish the whimsical and limo
cent unrealities Of ordinary converse
ton, from the yellow and sinking fall
sity of real lie Otherwise he will
he that primmests and most priggish
of men, the fellow who can't take a
joke.
This is an age Of too little fnagina-
ton rather than too much. The world
prefers its dollars, its automobiles, its
wines, it's sauces, to poetry and ideals
Don't close the shades of the prison
house around the growing boy any
earlier than yon can help. Let him
dream some Of the old dreams again..
Give Santa his own place in the cal
endar again!
