Taft Would Save Court

Washington, June $50 strongly Is
President Taft said to believe in the
need for the commerce court that his
friends predicted tonight tina. he would
veto the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill. which pro-
vides for the abolition of the court.
The bill also provides for the salaries
of the President, all the federal judges
and court officials, members of Con-
gress and their mileage. members of
the Presidents cabinet and employees
of the great government departments.
The veto would be unusual, although
the government officials did not be-
lieve tonight that 1t would mean any
thing more than a second consdera-
tion of the bill and possibly the pas
sage of a separate bill abolishing the
court. The legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill must be
passed before Congress finally ad-
journs and unless the two-thirds ma
jority necessary to put II through Con-
gress over the Presidents veto can be
secured. 1t probably would be sent
again to the White House without the
provision Objectionable to Mr.. Taft
Although some of the legal advisers
of the President tonight were inclined
to the view that the President could
veto the amendment passed by the
Senate today repeating the act Great
ing the court without vetoing the ap-
propriation part of the bill, that view
was not agreed TO by many members
of the cabinet and 1t was said Mr..
Taft himself did not concur in 1t.
Senator Gallinger today introduced
a resolution to extend the present APP
preparations beyond the beginning Of
the next fiscal year unless the pending
appropriation bills are passed by Con-
gress June 80, the end OF this fiscal
year

Pepsin. This preparation is admitted

positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. rs easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case of children, dose

THE LAW FoRB1Ds.
6IaisdelI Believes Circulation
Tickets is a Violation.

Minot.-ls the circulation of cards or
tickets of the so-called slate order in
the primary campaign violation of
the 1911 corrupt practice act?
This is the question which Alfred
Blaisdell, candidate for the republican
nomination for congress, asks of At
torney General Miller in the follow
ing interest letter:
March 80, 1912.-The Honorable
Andrew Miller, Attorney General,
Bismarck, N. D.-My Dear General:
Sec. 9, Chap. 129, Laws of 1911. N.
D., provides that mo person shall in
order to aid or promote his nomina-
ton directly or indirectly promise to
secure or aid in securing the nomina-
ton of another person, ETC."
In your opinion does the statute
forbid any two or more candidates or
set of candidates cooperating and
circulating cards or tickets of the So
called slate order, with their names
and offices sought thereon, and when
such candidates are jointly contribut-
ing to the expenses thereof, either in
direct or indirect manner? appre-
bend that there is no question but
what this statute does away with the
old system of establishing headquar-
tiers for any of the various sets of can
didates, but does the statute forbid
the circulating of printed ticket or
SLATE" when the candidates have in
any direct or indirect manner jointly
contributed towards the expenses
thereof. Your early opinion on this
most important matter is earnestly
desired. 1t is a matter of vital inter.
est not only to all those candidates
who desire to live up to the spirit OF
the law but also to the voters of the
state.
have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully,
Alfred Blaisdell.

Filipino. Dislike Autos.

The reckless and insolent automo.
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines. where most of the auto.
mobilists are foreigners. and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
grievance. and, failing to secure ef-
fective regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice Of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at breakneck
speed.

the senator, concede he is out of the
race.
La Toilette has not formally with
drawn, although close friends advised
him to do so. The reason they think
the senator should quit is that he can
not hope to capture the nomination
as the progressives view the wide
spread Roosevelt sentiment with glee
and believe all progressives should
pull together behind the strongest
man.
Representative Hanna is not con-

has increased from 100 to 800 letters
and shows Roosevelt sentiment very
