s VERY BAD EITHER WAY
Taft's Veto of the Wool Bill May Cause Him Many Bad Quarter
 on an Hour.

We are confident that President Taft, by his veto of the wool bill, has prepared many a bad quarter of an hour for himself. It may appear that he has done an uncomfortable dis service to his tarif board by so
 much insisting upon the necessity of passing revision of the schedules upon it's report and findings. The Underwood revision of the wool
 schedule MT. Taft found to be uhac-
 ceptable; because 1t had been prepared
 without information as to cost differ ences and other factors which the tar if board Is engaged in studying. :. The general opinion of the country. we are sure, Is that, in signing bill which reduces the run of duties on woolen fabrics from 95 per cent. to .45 per cent. he would have run no great fisk of sanctioning duties too low to meet differences of production cost and the reasonable profit" to American manu- lecturers. However. he was of different opinion. and vetoed the bill. Now, suppose the report of the tarin board should be of such a nature as to justify rates below those fixed in the Underwood bill That would show that MT. Taft had entirely misjudged the result and. had done injustice to it's authors in .imputing haste and recklessness to them in preparing the new rates. On the other hand. sup pose the boards report should indi- cate the necessity of duties consider ably higher than those fixed in the Underwood bill. Does the president suppose, do the woolen manhfactur CTS or the friends of protection gen. orally imagine for moment, that the country would accept such report as 8 fair and impartial presentation of facts fit to serve as basis for the revision of that schedule? Would 1t not. on the contrary. be everywhere said that the presidents tariff board was but part of the great protection ist organization, cooperating with the Republican party and with the presi- dent himself to maintain the "fnde- fensible" duties of schedule K?
 It seems to us that embarrassments which might easily have been avoided by signing the wool bill have been de nberately invited by the veto.

 The United States is taking charge of the National Guard more and more every day. Recently Troop "A" was completely fitted out with new saddles with the other horse equipment and sabers for fifty eight men. Lieut.. Jew cit of the U. S. Army is stationed at Phoenix where he is conducting an of ficer's correspondence school which is expected to also include the non cons in the near, future. Lieut. Sterling of the U. s. Cavalry is detailed for the sole purpose of instructing Troop "A" and three troops of the Colorado Ma tional Guard. Lieut.. Sterling arrived in Morencf last Saturday night in time to go with the troop on their trip to the Frisco and spent this week un- til Thurday with the troop in the ar mory all the while giving the troop CTS instructions as to their duties when Uncle Sam calls for them. It is doubtful if the States will continue to control the Guard in any way, more than five years hence. It is good sound business sense for the govern ment to retain their now very small standing army and increase the esiic- iency of the National Guard at least until the peace advocates can induce the other powers to tear down their fences and chain their dogs of war too. Everyone admits that volun- teer fights better than a hireling and if one does not think the rreseLt Ma tionaI Guard is a volunteer organiza- tion he had better try it white

Any land which. when sown to clover and timothy. produces in their stead chiefly red top and sorrel. will be benefited by the use of lime. Apply anywhere from 1000 to 1000 pounds or from fifteen to twenty bushels. The chief thing is to get finely divided lime into the soil.

Washington, July 1O.-Members of
the subcommittee of nine of the re
publican national committee remained
in Washington today for conference
with National Chairman Hilles and
other leaders. Sentiment OF most of
the committeeman here is that the ad.
visory committee should be composed
chiefly OF men not on the republican
national committee. II seemed settled
however, that William Barnes of New
York, will be a member. There is
pronounced sentiment in favor OF hay.

EASY CASH BOAST
BY MRS. HENNINC

Chicago, July 10.-A number of per-
sons believed to have information bear
ing on the confession of Mrs. Josephine
Henning that she wronged Clarence
Funk in permitting her name to be
used in a suit against him by her hus-
band, were questioned today by the
states attorney. None of the witness
es was called before the jury this morn
ing, the states attorney wishing to
sift the evidence before presenting 1t
to the jurors. One object of the ques-
tioning was to ascertain what person s
influence was behind the suit against
Funk, which is now declared to have
been manufactured and baseless. The
whereabouts of Mr.. Hennings is un-
known. One of the angles receiving
close attention of the prosecutor is
that Mrs. Henning. long before her
confession, declared TO young woman
masseuse that she (Mrs. Henning) was
mixed up in a quarrel between a rich
man and big politician and that she
was getting a lot OF money for permit
ting her name to be used"

END TWO YEARS FIGHT.
After four hours of pitched battle
in which charges of fraud, bad faith,
deceit and arbitrary rulings were
made, the directors of the National
association yesterday ended the two
years Eight between Secretary Irwin
Shepard and the delegation of Chi
cago teachers which led the progress
sive campaign for the election OF Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young as president at the
| Boston convention in 1910. At the
close of a long and acrimonious de-
bate at the Auditorium hotel, the di-
rectors unanimously voted to expunge
from the records Secretary Shepard s
charges that active members were
fraudulently enrolled to secure Mrs.
Young's election. They voted to
withhold President Pearse's report in
so far as it attacked Mr.. Shepard's
report of unusually heavy withdraw
ais following the Boston meeting.
They voted, in conclusion, to with
hold from publication all the debate
of the day, and to regard the whole
fight as a closed chapter. The finale
was victory for the progressives.
REPLIES TO PEARsE's CRITICISM
The meeting of the directors start
ed out with battle in the air. With
the conclusion of brief new business,
Secretary Shepard in a lengthy docu-
ment, answered President Pearse's
criticisms of section of his report,
which suggested that the heavy
Withdrawals following the Boston
meeting gave evidence that the Chi
Cago delegation had taken out ac-
tive school membership with the sole
view of gaining votes for Mrs. Young
Mr.. Pearse's report stated that the
percentage Of Withdrawals was the
lowest in years.
| Secretary Shepard plunged into
detail to prove the school enroll
ments were irregular, that teachers
had represented themselves as desir-
Gus OF taking out memberships for
schools when they were not connect
p ed with such schools. The answer
brought up many old charges which
the executive committee had laid on
, the table at a meeting last winter.
, but which found suggestion in re-
T. port of the secretary issued in De-
cember.

Senator Says His Opinion
Changed After Hearing
Witnesses.
MUCH PERJURY SEEN
Believes Money Scattered by
Browne Contributed by ILL.,
noiS Liquor Interests.

Washington, July 1o.-When the
senate took up the Lorimer case to-
day it was indicated that all speeches
except Lorimer's would be concluded
before night and that a vote might
be reached tomorrow.
Johnston of Alabama opened to-
days session with a spirited speech
in Lorimer's behalf.
He condemned as "un-Christian
and un-American Roosevelt's course
in declining to sit with Lorimer at
the Hamilton clubs dinner in Chi
cago.
Jones Of Washington, who opposed
Lorimer at the first trial, but sup
ports him now, followed Johnston.
CITES PUBLIC CLAMOR-
Jones said he changed his convic-
tions because he had personally
heard the witnesses against Lorimer.
He complained of the public clamor
in the case and charged it with hav-
ing too much influence in determin-
| ing the votes of senators. The state
ment aroused Smith of Michigan, who
! confessed to irritation over what he
| characterized as covert and insin-
uating intimations in the press in
( support of Lorimer that those in op-
position lack honest courage and are
: subject to influence by public clam
! or"
FALSE, SAYS SMITH.
This intimation is false said
fSuith 1-7zsFS5--s - ~ - '--.
Jones denied any intention OF
criticizing the attitude of other sena,
tors, but asserted there had been toe
much effort to control public senti
ment in opposition to Lorimer. He ad
mitted there had been perjury or
both sides of the case. The two sen.
ators discussed the evidence at some
length. Smith finally referred to the
recent lawsuit in Chicago of Hen
ming against Funk. Smith said he
thought the suit was brought to af
feet the Lorimer case.
do you think it affected the opin
| ion of any member of the commit
| tee! asked Jones.
! AFFECTS MEMBERS.
Yes, l do" responded Smith
Smith declared il to be worth ;
mans life to antagOnize certain ele
ments in the senate" He said b.
had run against that condition wheI
he was first elected and had felt
since. No details were given.
The case against Lorimer is bas
ed upon and buttressed with for
gerry" said Jones. He expressed tn,
opinion that money distributed b,
Lee O'Neil Browne was contributes
by the whisky interests.
EVIDENCE LACKING.
'Ts there any evidence to supper
that theory?" asked Reed.
"It is based on the same tbeor.
pursued by Lorimer's opponents Il
connecting him with the case,
Jones replied. There is no positiv
evidence, but from the record 1t /
the most probable theory as to wher
the money came from"
LEGISLATIVE FUND.
Isn't it just as reasonable to sup
= pose the corruption fund was use
to elect Lorimer as to influence leg
islation?" asked Pomerene.
Il do not think so" replied Jones
p 1T was a legislative fund. There /
nothing in the record 10 indicate III
money was for any other purpose"
