DIR. ]. o. Cobb, a friend of DR.

TARIFF WAR IS
POSSIBILITY NOW
Foreign Nations May Use
This Method of Retalia-
ton on Canal Tolls.

Paris, Aug. 12.-ouoting approv-
ingly American protests against the
action of the American senate in
passing the Panama canal bill which
among other things. provides for the
remission of tolls to American YES
sells engaged in coastwise and foreign
traffic. the Paris Temps in an article
published today. foresees tariff war
Of all the powers against the United
States unless President Taft vetoes a
course which wrongs the interests of
the rest Of the world and bellies the
solemn affirmation Of the cabinet at
Washington. that the whole purpose
OF the work at Panama was in the
interest Of mankind in general"
The, Temps which says it does not
wish to intervene in a controversy
until the American government has
definitely decided the course it will
take, concludes:
Perhaps Americans better would
serve their commercial interests by
more more scrupulously respecting their
legal engagements. Fidelity to a
pledged word is often sagacious.''

his wife and children of Williston,
crashed into the county bridge on the
road to Williston Saturday evening,
and MIR. Larson was severely injured.
The machine was wrecked. and a fatal
accident was narrowly averted.
The approach to the bridge from
the east side had been washed away
by the heavy rains of the spring.
Weeds had grown up so as to obscure
the defect in the road. Mr.. Larson
was driving from six to eight miles
an hour, when the machine struck
the bridge.
The front of the machine was
crushed in, and the steering wheel
was forced against Mr.. Larson's breast
causing severe injuries. Mr.. Larson
says the road was in a frightful con-
dition, and that if he had been going
twenty to thirty miles an hour. every
one in the party would have proba bly,
been killed.
