TAFT VETOES MANY BILLS
President Has Refused to Sign
Twenty-Five Measures.
MORE COMING THIS WEEK
Four Vetoes Have Been of Tariff
and Army
Appropriation Among Most
Ser Important.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.--When Presi-
dent Taft yesterday vetoed the oil bill eh
had stamped with his disapprovala the
twenty fifth legislative measure sent to
him from congress. Most of his vetoes
have been on comparatively unimportant
subjects
Four of his vetoes have been of tariff
bills. His one other veto Of importance
last year was directed at the joint reso-
lution admitting Arizona and New Mexico
to statehood. This bill met with executive
dsapproval because of the provision in
the Arizona constitution allowing the re-
call Of judges.
In addition to the wool bill, the president
has returned one other important meas
ure at this session, the army appropria-
tion bill, which, as 1t passed congress
would have legislated General Leonard
Wood out of office March 4, and would
have made radical changes In the army
Already, however, he has planned enough
vetoes for this session to add half dozen
to the present record
The vetoes of the steel tariff bill and
the legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill with its amendment abol-
ishing the commerce court, will be sent
to congress early next week. Messages
returning the proposed cotton revision bill
and the excise bill will be prepared when
congress sends them to the White House.

Kansas Federal
Judge Restraints
Woodmen Camps

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,. Aug. 10.-(Special
Telegram Judge Ralph c. Campbell of
the federal court sitting at Fort Scot.
Kan, today issued a sweeping temporary
injunction restraining 1863 local camps of
the Modern Woodmen Of America, out OF
900 camps In that state from proceeding
with the organization of seeding order
called the Kansas Fraternal Woodmen.
The court forbids action Of any kind or
character until August "a, the date set
for final hearing.
Head Clerk C. w. Hawes at the head
quarters Of the society in this city said
the societys counsel entertained not the
slightest doubt the temporary injunction
would be made permanent. The head
clerk said:
1.-THE secession is due In part to re-
vision of rates of the society at the Chi
cago meeting of the head camp of the
national convention last January, but
principally 1t is the desire Of few dis
ouieted Woodmen for office. They are
using this rate change as a 2retext. We
hare the support overwhelmingly of a
majority of the members and all state
insurance departments In the action taken
by our supreme lawmaking body. The
society Is now doing business on new
rates and thousands of old members are
transferring to the new plans every day"

TALKS OF POLITICAL GAME

MADISON, Wis, Aug. Ex-senator Rob-
ert M. La Toilette in his weekly maya.
zine takes hard editorial rap at Roose-
welt, declaring that the colonel has beer
ungrateful to his friends and that his
wheae standard of ethics is his own per.
sonal success. Senator La Toilette In his
editorial article says in part st
/ "rhe last thing to be tolerated OF new
political party, protesting to stand for
progress, is to hark back to boss and ,i.a.
chine rule through threats and coercion
of candidates for office. And yet Roosc.
Welt threatens to beat senator's congr ,ss-
men, governors, sheriffs and coroners un.
less they declare for him.
Loyalty to progressive principles has
nothing to do with the matter. In Ohio
Judge e. B. Dillon was nominated on the
republican ticket for governor. Dillon
was enough OF progressive to be ac-
ceptable to progressives. But Roosevelt
thereafter demanded that Dillon declare
Tor him RooseyelD or face the opposI-
ton of a second candidate. Dillon very
properly refused and withdrew as a can
didate.
Governor -Deneen of Illinois was not
asked by Roosevelt's agent how he would
stand as to Lorimer's successor or
whether he would support a progressive
state program. The Illinois congressman
We're not catechised as to their position
on national legislation. But they are
plainly given to understand that IL they
declare for Roosevelt they will be aided.
or at least will not be opposed by Roose-
welt. That is the meaning of the tele-
gram which each one received from
Roosevelts managers in Illinois.
i Support of Me-" Sole Test,
How do you stand on mer Is Roose-
velt's sole test of qualification for pro-
gressive.
What would become of the progressive
movement under such leadership. And
Yet 1t Is, exactly the plan Roosevelt
pursued when president. 1t is the Roose-
welt way. He supported Lodge for United
states senator two years ago, and PEN
rose Tor United States senator four years
ago. He has always played this kind of
a political game.
1t Is characteristic of Roosevelt that.
While he seizes upon issues that make
good propaganda and gives them pub
hcity, he has not the patience nor sta
bllity nor depth of conviction to prevent
his sacrificing essential principles and
permanent results to personal considera-
tons and temporary advantage. 1t was
this that made his administration as
president although time of reform
agitation, barren Of constructse legisla-
ton, and period for growth Of evils
that might have been avoided under wiser
leadership"
