STAND BY GUNS SAYS TAFT
President Shows Willingness to Make
Fight On Tariff Alone.

President Shows Willingness to Make
Fight On Tariff Alone.
Cleveland, Ohio.-President Taft
opened his campaign for re-elec-
ton when he made a defense of his
administration before the Tippecanoe
club of this city and def1ed the Demo
cratic party to show wherein the Re
publicans had failed to keep their
pledges made in 1908
Showing that he was unwilling to
wait for further assaults from the
enemy, the president took the often
sive and invited the country to pass
judgment upon his stewardship. He
said the party record was an open
one and was worthy of the best ira
ditions of Republican rule.
The president defended the Payne
Aldrich tariff, while admitting its
shortcomings; he justified his vetoes
Of the Democratic revision bills at
the extra session and he made a plea
for the continuance of the tariff board.
He also renewed his adherence to the
protective policy.
AS for the enforcement of the anti
trust law the president said:
THE laws have been enforced. The
interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law. Indictments have been
found and bills in equity have been
filed in cases that seemed to call for
governmental action, and they have
proceeded to judgment in due course
and the judgments have been en-
forced"

SPECIAL SESSION
LOOKS PROBABLE
Time for Recovering Wiscon-
sin Legislature Discussed.
TWO BIG MATTERS ARE UP
Early Action on Black River Falls
Situation and Revamping of Water
Power Law Deemed Necessary at
Conference of State Officials.

Madison-The chances now are
that a special session of the Iegisla-
ture is to be called. Two subjects
are to be considered: The Black Riv-
er Falls situation and the revamping
of the Waterpower control law
Conferences which have been held
around the capitol during the past
forty-eight hours have all been
called more or less on the under
standing that special session was a
certainty and the time of its calling,
rather than the question OF the ses-
sion itself, has been discussed.
1t may be that the calling of the
session will be postponed until after
a rehearing can be requested in the
supreme court on the waterpower
control law, by the attorneys who ar
gued the law before the supreme
court, at which the courts decision
will be discussed from three stand
points, as follows:
First-A motion in the supreme
court for a rehearing in the case.
Second-The practicabiIity for an
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States.
Third-The remodeIing of the leg
islation so as to save some parts of
the law which it is believed can be
retained.
Even if the third course is decided
upon, the rehearing will probably be
asked and the court requested to
make its position clear on one or two
questions.

Government Examiners Finish Work
of Two Years on Mineral
Point Banks Books.

La Crosse.-After working stead
lily for nearly two years government
experts employed by the attorney
generals department have finally
concluded the examination of the
books of the defunct First National
bank of Mineral Point.
Philip Allen, vice president of the
bank, is now serving ten years at
Leavenworth prison for wrecking the
institution. Following his conviction
he gave evidence before the grand
jury here which resulted in the in
dictment of Calvert SpenseIey, presi-
dent of the bank, on charge of max
ing false statements to the bank ex-
aminer. That was in November.
1909.
Since then experts have been work
ing on the books to determine
whether the facts warranted prosecu-
ton. That point will now be decided
on the report submitted by the de.
partment of justice at Washington.

Where Dickens saw Life.

1t was on the roads round about
iGadshill, where Charles Dickens lived
before his death, that he made the ac-
quaintance of the various tramps and
.showmen We read of in his works
the tales Of their lives, and lives so
often made up of many sorrows. The
great noveIist's knowledge of gypsy
wanderers and Ioafers was unbounded,
and many a half hour he spent in
their company within a stones throw
of his home When he wrote that
wonderful chapter on tramps in THE
monumental Traveller" he had in
mind the high road at Gadshill-"The
Land That Was Dickens" Oscar Eric

RUsSIA's ROAD INTO CHINA
MONGOLIA is Land Of Magnificencs
Of Middle Ages Mingled
With Squalor.

When the humping taranta8s rolls
across the Chinese frontier into Mon
golia it enters a kingdom Of the mid
die ages flung down into the twenu-
eth century.
FeudaI princes, lords Of armies
weaponed with spear and bow, tax
and drive to the corvee their nomad
Berfs. A hierarchy Of priests, whose
divine head lives in palace at Holy
Urga, sways the multitude Of supersti-
fion-steeped MongoIs, and receives the
homage Of pilgrims vending their way
from the Volga, from Tibet, from all
Mongolia, to their Canterbury Of La
maism.
In PROSTATE devotion the penitents
girdle the Sacred City, before whose
novels beggars dispute with dogs
their common nourishment, and in
whose compounds princes of the race
OF Genghis Khan, with armies Of re-
1ainers, live bedless, bathIess, light
less, in the felt huts Of their race.
Squalid magnifcence and good
humored, kindly hospitality are linked
70 utter brutality. Sable fuTs and
silks cover sheepskins worn until they
drop from the body
Here and there among the natives
"a Chinese trading carayansary, alien,
walled, peculiar, stands as Of old the
HansatoWn, with merchant guilds and
far-brought caravan goods.
The Russian advance has been al
ways eastward, toward an ice-free
port on the Pacific Cut off by the
Japanese, the one outlet now for Rus
gia is through Mongolia, striking
straight for Pekin and the heart Of
China
This is the century-old road Of the
tea trade. Here is the shortest route
from Europe to the East. Here.
through the defIes and the broken
foothills Of the Cobb plateau, lies the
future redemption Of the great unfet-
tered land route to north China.
Tie Chinese are themselves advanc-
ing to anticipate it. They have al
ready built into Kalgan. To this trad
ing center across the pale a Russian
railway may yet pass, and her colo
nists make fruitful the unpeopled
Wilds of Mongolia.
A way Of adventure and strange
ness, where the years turn back, is
this old road of the Golden Horde,
leading down past the ancestral
homes of the Turks to the Great Wall.
The Russian Road in China"

BIRTHPLACE GIVEN FORTUNE
Geologist Buckley Wills Property to

sulting geologist expert at Chicago,

Mr.. Buckley held his native town
in great affection and under his will
his property was to go to Tomah on
the death of his wife Mrs. Buckley

passing away within the last fort
night, so the bequest takes effect i'm
mediately. Under the terms of the
will the playground is to be used for

WATER POWER LAW
DECLARED INVALID
State Supreme Court Decision
Holds Act Unconstitutional.
COULD NOT BE ENFORCED
Opinion Written by Justice Timlin
Declares It Also Contrary to Fur
damental Principles - Millions in
Property Affected by Judgment.

Madison.-The supreme court has
declared unconstitutional the water
power act enacted by the last Wis
| consin legislature. The act provided
Tor state regulation and control of
thousands of miles of navigabIe
streams and millions of dollars
worth OF property. The opinion de-
claring the act unconstitutional was
written by Justice Timlin. The court
was unanimous. Justices Kerwin
/ and Barnes did not sit.
The law is unconstitutional. - saws
the decision, because the necessary
effect of the enforcement of the law
would be state appropriation of the
property rights of riparian proprie-
tors of the banks of navlgabIe rivers
without due process of law: the ap-
preparation ostensibly for the public.
but in legal effect largely for private
purposes; an appropriation without
rendering just compensation for pri-
Vate property rights, all contrary to
fundamental law.
Thus the all-pervading necessary
SHeCI OF sucn chapter is to take prop
erty, which in fact is private, for
purpose declared to be public without
rendering any compensation there
for. The necessary effect, if en-
forced-and so the purpose is a legal
sense-of chapter 652, laws of 1911,
being a state appropriation of private
property rights Of riparian proprie-
tors owning the banks of navigable
rivers, in a manner not warranted
by the fundamental law, and those
portions of the act which do not di-
rectly deal with the assertion of
state title, being features designed to
render such assertion efficaeious, it
all forms an inseparable unconstftu-
tionality entirety"
The Judgment enjoins enforcement
OF any part of the act except as to
future new interferences (dams, etc.)
without state permission, navigabIe
in fact, but not meandered.

AgDIcATIoN EDIcT is SIGNED
Chinese Rulers Are Threatened b,
Imperial Troops.

Imperial Troops.
Tientsin-An abdication edict has
been signed by the Manchu rulers
who are besieged in their palace at
Pekin and for the present have no
means of escape.
The troops Of the Manchu garrison
have sworn vengeance on the en-
press dOwager and the princes for
their act and have declared they will
shoot them on sight. Every precaution
is being taken to guard against treach-
cry within the palace.
The abdication has prectpttated cha
otto conditions here. The officials are
in panic, the mayor has resigned
and fed with his family to the French
concession. Martial law has been
proclaimed in the native city.
The edict grants the request of Yuan
Shi Kat that the bestowal of a mar
quisate upon him, which the throne
has proposed, be deferred until after
peace has been restored.
This request of the premier is ia
ken to indicate that he has transferred
his allegiance to the republicans, but
will remain in Picking to prevent a
Manchu outbreak.
