LONDON. Dec. 1s.-The nature of the
decision which the Turkish government
arrived at today is not known, but is
believed to be such as to enable the
peace conference to resume its>delibera-
tions.
Considering that under the terms of
the armistice Turkey is debarred from
revictualing the besieged fortresses.
she has little to gain by undue delay.
The growing strength of the military
party in Constantinople may have an
unexpected influence on the situation.
The Russian premier's speech in the
dums, which was awaited with much
interest. is regarded as peaceful fac
tor. but at the same time it is plain
intimation to the world that Russia
= stands firmly behind the Balkan states
their victory and therefore may be re-
garded somewhat in the light OF
warning to Austria.
GOVERNMENT CoNCILIAToRY
sThe servian government is doing its
utmost to avoid needlessly provoking
TO a Belgrade dispatch. has written to
the editors of the leading newspapers,
urging them to refrain from publish
ing articles provocative to Austria and
two Belgrade papers have been seized
for attacking Austria.
In accordance with the request of
the delegates to the peace conference,
sir Edward Grey has appointed Her
man Cameron Norman, first secretary
,of the British diplomatic service, to
take charge of the secretariat of the
conference.
The ambassadors of the powers at
the meeting toda,' confirmed their de-
cision to maintain secrecy concerning
their discussion. but one OF the dele
gates observed that the secrecy only
was apparent, as on the most import
ant questions the ambassadors would
be compelled to consult with the peace
delegates in order to ascertain their
intentions and the feelings Of their
countries.
SECRECY WOULD BE FUTILE
Besides, the same delegate added. it
would be useless to maintain secrecy
on secondary matters when what is
really Of capital Importance openly and
solemnly is proclaimed to the world.
He instanced the speech of NJ. Kokov-
son. the Russian premier, who, he saidv
today spoke before the duma, but in
reality addressed his statement to the
whole of Europe in the name of the
great slavonic and orthodox power"
NJ Kokovsoffs speech, notwithstand-
ing the usual declaration Of the wish
above all to preserve peace, emphasized
the Importance of the unanimity Of the

Pension those who Need Help.

In a recent interview, it is re-
ported, that Col. Roosevelt in
speaking of pensionirg ex-president
demonstrated that he was mighty
sane on one subject at least. He
said: Inasmuch as the pension
does not apply to me, have moth
ing to say about that side of it. In
any event, my interest isn't In pen
sions for presidents, but for the
small man who doesn't have the
chance to save and when he be-
comes superannuated and faces d.
rect poverty.
| think that the small govern
ment employee who gives his years
of faithful service at small emolu-
ment should be pensioned upon his
retirment. and, further, | believe
that in this country, wehave got to
work out some system of insurance
and pensions which will relieve the
ordinary workingman of the haunt
ing dread of extreme poverty in
old age.
And even more, l believe that
the widow left at the death of her
husband with dependent children
should receive from the state what
is needed so that she may live and
bring up these children. If the
husband deserted her, he should
promptly be traced and captured
and set to work and his earnings
used for his wife and children. -

The Presidents Message.

The message sent to congress
Tuesday by President Taft was an
exceedingly able document, one OF
the best sent to the lawmaking
branch of the government for a long
time. His statement of conditions
existing and recommendations de-
monstrate craftsmanship of high
order and ranks him we'll at the
head. In this connection, it will not
be amiss to say that In his retir-
ment to private life next March, he
can do so with the consciousness OF
work we'll done and that his admin
istration will grow in the esteem
of the people of this country as the
years come and 60 and will be re-
garded as one of the best.

Something About Taxes.

The Madison Democrat, which
never, suffers from spells OF mental
weakness and always stands for a
pure democracy along sane pro-
gressive lines in speaking Of taxes
to be paid in January, 1913, says:
When you get your tax receipt
next January you will find that you
have been touched up quite materl-
ally, and instead of your dream OF
relief, you will find an added bur
den. 1t is a practice of politicians
to conjure up fine phrases where
with to Iull the populace to secur-
ity. They tell US of their love for
the dear peepuP' and how valor-
ousIy they have labored to reduce
the tax rate, IN the nation, the state
and the municipality. But, alas for
the awakening from the dream.
When tax paying time comes we
march to the place where sit the
1.-THE gatherers and, as good, patrl-
otto citizens, place our savings on
the table and bid our servants take
what they will. Then the books are
opened, the amount is Chronlcled
and the coin transferred. All that
remains for the sovereign citizens is
the little slip of paper known as
the tax receipt to be treasured up
as as evidence of good citizenship.
And now, Mr.. Taxpayer, when
you have in your possession the
tax receipt which you will get next
January, Just scan it carefully.
Compare the sum noted therein
with that in the one you received a
year ago. Then the truth will
dawn fully upon you. Then you
will know that all the talk of lower
taxes due to this income extortion
and what not has not been pure
buncombe for you will see that
you are compelled to pay larger
sum than ever before, even upon
identically the same plot of ground
and shelter you have called home
since the long ago
The men who have been voting
for years for fool taxing PROPOSE
tons thinking it progressiveness,
when they pay their taxes, can
scratch their heads and think and
then think some m ore.

He Didn't Advertise.

The importance of advertising stock
when taken up was illustrated in case
that was tried recently in Stevens Point.
Henry Streif a farmer living in the town
of Carson, took up twelve head of stock
belonging to a neighbor. After they
had been KEEP for some time without
any effort on the part Of StFeif to restore
the cattle to their owner, the owner
went to Streif and demanded their sur
render. whereupon Streif demanded pay
ment for their keeping. Replevin pro-
cePdings were begun and in the end
Srreif settled the case by paying $3.50
damages. Where stock is taken up by
another, the law saws very plainly that
they must be advertised.
