Washington, April l1.-Representa.
tive w. b. Mckinley director OF
Tafts national headquarters yester'
day issued the first official comment
from the Taft side upon the presiden.
tial primaries in Illinois Tuesday
THE result in Illinois was not unex.

statement. "The issues which occu
pied the attention Of the people OF
the state were so peculiarly local as
to cause the presidential issue tCI

Roosevelt recently invaded the state
and devoted the major portion OF his
addresses to subjects which had no

party must meet the democratic par

Furthermore. the questions dis

speeches had little TO do with the &c

The Banner doesn't often blow its
own horn, but is tempted to brag a
little in relation to the recent state
and district Republican conventions.
The caucuses were held on Saturday
evening, March 80, and beginning inn
mediately thereafter, extrayagant
claims were made by the two factions
and by their newspaper supporters.
In its first ssueafter the caucuses The
Banner stated that Taft had carried
the First district and Roosevelt the
Second district, and that the state
would be safely for Taft
but close enough so hiatt conyen-
ton would be interesting. Two or
three local politicians promptly dis
puted The Banners statement and in
dustriously proclaimed reports from
other sources. The results prove that
The Banners report was absolutely
fair and correct. The Banner has
never knowingly distorted a news re-
port because OF an editorial preju-
dice. or to suit any faction or party.

It looks as though the Massachu-
sets legislature is going to do one
sensible thing anyway and let the
Berkshire street railway system be
extended to Stamford and other pla-
ces instead of compelling it to build
a purely scenic line up Mt. Greylock.
The Greylock line is all right, but
the other extensions should come
first, and especially the line to STAN
ford. The Stamford valley is one of
the most beautiful valleys in Vermont
as well as one of the most fertile, but
lack of transportation facilities has
long cut il off from its full share OF
development and opportunity.

II Frank A. Day, late of Montana,
now back to his first love, Minnesota,
does not again get into the political
game it will not be because of any
lack of the managerial itch. The one
time Democratic king maker has been
dividing his time of late between Fair
mont, his old home, and st. Paul and
while he denies any connection what
ever with the political game he never
overlooks bet to discuss conditions.
In Mr.. Days opinion Democracy now
has the chance of its life to prevail in
nation and state. In the matter of the
national situation Mr.. Days opinion is
shared in by many and they include
prominent Republicans at that. Frank
has many enemies and it is probable
that any attempt on his part to grab
the leadership of the Democratic party
will be vigorously fought, but it has
to be said for the Fairmont man that
he was some king maker when he
was on the job. The Republican ma
chine would congratulate itself today
If it had his equal.

Quite a little newspaper comment
has been INDUCED in regarding the
reciprocal feature of the present in
heritance tax law. This reciprocal
feature exempts property in other
states which have similar reciprocal
laws. Briefly explained when a New
Yorker dies if he has any Great North
ern stock which is in Minnesota cor
poration his executors pay the tax
required under the law. If it had
reciprocal provision in it's own in
heritance tax law, however, this pay
ment would not be demanded. Con-
necticut is the only outside state
which has a reciprocal provision in it's
law and under it Minnesota. estates
are exempt. The claim is made that
this provision invalidates the law,
which is disputed; likewise that it
cuts materially into the states reve-
nues. How the reciprocal feature got
into the law is puzzling many, but this
is easily explained. The amendment
was offered by Henry Rines of Mora,
one of the house progressives. He Of
fered it at the instance of the state
legal department., then headed by
George T. Simpson. Rines might have
been handed one, but if he was he was
not aware of it.

MINNESOTA BUTTER is GOOD

State Stands Second In Value and
Third in Quantity Produced.
Minnesota produced more butter in
the census year 1909 than all the New
England states together, according to
the report issued by the department
OF commerce and labor. Minnesota's
production in that year was 125, $780,
600 pounds, valued at $33,61O,O00. In
amount Minnesota stood third in the
United States. Wisconsin and Iowa
each produced more butter, but,
though Iowa beat Minnesota more
than 100000 pounds in quantity.
Minnesota's product brought more
money, presumably on account Of the
higher quality.

OF IKE WHERE'S
 FIRST IMPORTANT BATTLE

Twenty-six years ago tonight Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, fought his first important bout in America, and commenced the right career that eventually made him the feather weight champion of the world. The Irish lad, after taking part in a num- Der of amateur bouts in his native land, sailed for America and landed in Boston early in 1836- He was only eighteen years of age, and had none. of the earmarks of a fighter. The Bean City fight promoters refused t0 take his pugi1istic aspirations serious Iy, although he was given a four round match with Willie Snee, in which he was victorious. There was no class to Snee, however. and for time Weir despaired of getting an opportunity to display hin prowess. He managed to make living by en- tering-cr oss- country runs and walking matches. He continued to poster
 the boxing club managers, and finally, more to get rid of him than anything else, the manager of the Atechian Club gave him chance. Weir's op- ponent was Jim Fuhry, and the match was staged on Oct. 29, 1886. Fuhry was a fairly good boxer, and he was expected to play with the 1it- tie Irishman like cat with a mouse. The expected event did not eventuate.

From Speech ky

Weir had all the best of the argu- rrlent, and in the fifth round sent Fuhry sprawling to the floor for the the count. The Belfast boys stock took an irnme mediate boost, and he was matched with Martin Burns. and de- feated him after six grilling innings. Weir then went ahead and cleaned up all the Boston featherweights, and then went to Hoboken, N. J.. to take on Jack Farrell. New Yorker of near-champfon ca1fbre. The bout was with skin-tigI1t gloves, and was pulled off in secret to avoid the unwelcon1s attentions of the authorities, who frowned upon such pastimes- Weir knocked out Farrell in the seventh, and cleaned up $500. This was the first tsbig money" he had ever receiv- ed in the fighting game, and it made him all the more eager to fight. Willie Clarke of Philadelphia was then look
 ed upon asa topnotcher among the little men, and Weir was mate ched to fight him in Hoboken. Clarke was game and clever, and stuck it out un- til the tweEty-frst round, when his hal olers had to throw up the sponge. Both of Clarke's eyes were bunged shut, as the. Belfast Spider, in all his battles, always paid special. attention t:1 the optics of his opponents.
