There is a good chance that Press-
iden Taft's three favorite hobbies
the tariff board; the economy COM
mission, and the travelling expense
fund-will be done away with at
the present session OF congress.
The democrats in the House ct Rep
resentatives, with few scattered
exceptions, are opposed to the idea
of running the government through
the medium Of commissions. They
base their opposition On the fact
that government through these var
ious commissions is a violation Of

ers, that the people should he direct

BY Clyde H. Tavenner.

That President Taft is not temper

azine. This editorial Is based on
an incident Of President Tafts trip
through the west. It follows:
AT one OF the towns in Kansas
where President Taft stopped during
his long journey a great crowd OF
country people came to see him. AS
the crowd dispersed after his speech
one farmer was heard to remark to
another: mo he amt one of us
There is much testimony to
show that this feeling prevails in
many parts of the country which the
president visited. At a club. sur
rounded by lawyers, where his good
nature has free play, he captlvates
his company, but when he meets
the masses OF the people they do
not find themselves in direct contact
with him. They do not feel sure
that he knows them or understands
their problems. He talks as a
Judge to a jury. His thought seems
impersonal, remote, formal; not the
spontaneous utterances Of one OF
us, Even those of his policies
which the people approve seem to
Jack directness and effectiveness.
Does he want tariff reform? 1t must
come only in his own way; through
his own tariff board The method Is
m ore important to him than the sub
stance.
again, his enforcement of the
Sherman law displeases the world OF
big business without satisfying the
world of little business In his
most emphatic and vigorous declara-
tons Mr.. Taft does not convince the
people They believe him sincere,
but he and they speak different
language, and they are not quite
sure that he means what they would

His thought moves in formal ways.

A UNIQUE PARISIAN TOY

GERMANS are the greatest makers OF
~ TOYS; but in the matter OF constructing
scientific plavthings the French not intre-
qucntly take the lead. One Parlslan novelty
in this line is a picture book IN which the
ear as well as the eye is appealed to. 1t IS
book of animals and each animal utterS Its
own characteristic cry.
The pictures represent the most familiar
domestic animals, and each animal speaks
its own language. To cause 1t to break
silence, nothing is necessary but TO pun
little string at the edge of the book.
In the books are to be seen rooster,
COW. a lamb, little birds in their nest,
donkey, a cuckoo, goat. On the last page
are children who are welcoming their par
ents. BY pulling the string at the right page,
the cry of any particular creature IS elected:
The listener hears the donkey heehaw and
the rooster crow. The Growing IS well lml-
tated. The string is pulled again, and the
lamb bleatS, the birds twitter, the cuckoo
sings. the COW moos, or the little children
cali out papa" and mama
These interesting results are obtained
simplv bv the aid of small bellows placed in
a box hidden in the book. When the string
is pulled the air enters the corresponding
bellows and is thence expelled by spring.
The air makes its exit through special
tube appropriate for each cry, and at the
same time the bellows meets with obstacles
placed on a wire. These arrangements have
been carefully studied with a view to pro-
du,ng the proper effects.

Piedmont And Northern Lines To Use
The Telephone in Dispatching
Their Trains.

The success attendant upon the in
PRODUCTION of the telephone for train
dispatching on the steam railroads of
the United States has made itself
felt to such a degree that the electric
traction systems of the country are
rapidly adopting it. One of the great
electric traction systems of the South,
the Piedmont and Northern Lines, is
about to enter the telephone train dis
patching ranks, and with this end
in view has placed orders with the
Western Electric company, which has
furnished the equipment now in use
on over $4,000 miles Of steam roads,
for the apparatus to be used on two of
its lines.
One OF these, the Piedmont Traction
company, is to use the new equipment
in operating its cars over "a mile

North Carolina. There will be seven
