UNCERTAIN ON THE TARIFF
Roosevelt Adopts Taft's Revision
Method and Makes Vague Prom
ises About Control Of Business.

On the tariff Colonel Roosevelt is
vague and uncertain. He adopts. al
most without the change OF line or
syllable. President Taft's method OF
revision only after expert. non-parti-
san investigation. and then bids for
popular support on the pretense that
he will In some way not defined see
that the protection to be afforded to
our Industries shall be equitably d.
yided between the employer and the
employed This is to be done. ap.
parently. by some sort Of government
regulation and control of the business
OF the country. but the colonels own
past and present relations with the
steel trust and the harvester trust
fail TO be convincing as to the entire
impartiality Of any control In which
he might have hand. His awakened
interest in the tnrif is so sudden and
is In such marked contrast TO his atti-
tude during the seven years when he
might have influenced the action OF a
Republican congress. that the thought
ful public will be justified in looking
askance at promises so plainly direct
ed to catch gudgeons.
SO also the student OF contempo-
rary economies will fail to find in the
colonoi's appeal for votes any guiding
light on the vital subject Of currency
reform. We want. OF course. sound
and flexible currency. We want fnRn'
clal control wrested from Wall
street" we want the best money sys-
ten in the world-all these are pri.
mary facts not in dispute. but all that
the colonel is able TO say with any
clarity is that he does not approve OF
all the recommendation OF the
monetary commission. though ho
thinks the reports of that commission
are so valuable that they ought 10 be
more widely disseminated among the
people. II the oolonel's promises are
like his performances when he had the
opportunity 10 accomplish something.
they are quite ns hollow and untrust.
worthy ms are the plRnks OF the old
parties in which he places so little
faith. The old parties with all their
faults have at least record OF
achievement For these the colonel
would substitute new promises, ignor-
ing his own record Of broken pledges.
/ How he can honestly believe In his
own sincerity n ono Of the puzzles
which will pcrpiex the future political

Hammond, Ind.-Barring the fact
that five men were wounded, all the

flew like hail. Victor Barrens' little
poker party at his roadhouse in West
Creek, near this city, the other night
was decided success.
All those present held good hands.
In fact, such lot of good poker hands
being dealt at the same time was al
most unheard OF by most of the play
ers. Moreover. they noticed that two
players seemed to have happy fac

there were many big" hands dealt
This fact might not have been com

Phillips. lanky Kentucky visitor,
noticed another popularity of the
game.

opened pot and drawn three cards.

EXTENSION IS MADE
 ON ASSESSMENT SIX
But Payment Of First Half Must be Made on May i or All Be-
 comes Due With Interest

Finding that the money is not needed for immediate use, the treas urer of the Water Users has sent out official notification that the time for payment of the second half of as- sessment number will be extended from May l to the first of November. The amount due on each share is g 10. $2.25 of it is for building pow CT plants and canals and the other fifteen cents for current and build ing expenses.
 In consideration of the extension of time. the first payment must be made on or before the first of May, otherwise the who.e amount becomes delinquent and will be assessed one per cent a month until paid.
 If a man owns d quarter section, his assessment is S3S4: one half falls due on May 1 and the rest on the first of November. If the first pay ment is not made, the entire S3S4 is due and s3.S4 is added each month until final settlement.
 The association particularly desires to have the attention of agents of nonresident owners called to this matter as d hardship will result from any oversight on their part.

MILWAUKEE WANTS ID
 STAGE AUTO RACES
Auto Enthusiasts in Northern Town Will Make Strong Bid for
 1912 Auto Classics.

Milwaukee will be an aggressive bidder for the 1912 Vanderbilt Cup and the Grand Prix automobile races. The movement to bring the two clas- sics to Milwaukee has the endorse ment of the Citizens Business lolgue, the active commercial organization of the city, and the project will be fi- nanced by the Milwaukee Dealers as- sociation, in cooperation with the lea gue. the Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Milwaukee associl- tion.
 The initiative was taken by the Milwaukee Automobile Dealers when it became known that Savannah had relinquished it's claim to the events and in case the Vanderbilt race goes to the Long Island course, the en- thusiasts of the famous town will still bid strongly for the Grand PriX. The best course lies between Chicago and Milwaukee and second choice is that which traverses the Waukesha and Milwaukee lake district The lake shore route is the fivorite and is easily reached by several railroads and electric lines.
 The other course over which the Milwaukee promoters would run the race. should the first not prove available, is located in d section vis- ited by thousands of summer re- sorters and autoists every year so wherever the event is staged it will be well attended.
