Washington. y. c. Feb 2--Presi-
dent TAFT in q message 10 congress
today urged an international injury
into the high cost Of living The pres
fden- asked authority to invite the ne
tions Of the world to a conference in
this city or elsewhere TO make plans
for the investigation Of the high
prices that have so distressed the peo-
PIE Of the world"
1Ir. Taft also urged the appointmeT
Of federal commission TO make
searching inquiry into the subject Of
industrial relations
For some years past" said the pres
fdent, the high and steadily increas
ing cost Of living has been a matter
Of such grave public concern that
deem IL Of great public interest that
an international conference be proposed
az this time for the purpose OF pre-
pairing plans, 10 be submitted 10 the
various governments. for an interna-
tional inquiry into the high cost OF
living, its extent causes effects, and
possible remedies.
Urges Commission.
There is no doubt but that a com
mission could be appointed Of such IN
prejudiced and impartial persons, ex-
perts in investigation Of economic
facts. that a great deal Of very VAL
liable light could be shed upon the
reason for the high prices that have
90 distressed the people Of the world,
and Information given upon which ac-
ton might be taken to reduce the cost
OF living.
Those who have conducted investi-
cations have found that the phenom-
en0n Of rising prices is almost If not
quite general throughout the world;
but they are bafled in the attempt
70 trace the causes by the impOssibility
OF makinS any accurate international
comparisons This is because, IN
spite OF the number of Investigations
already made we are still without
two countries estimate their price lev

As 10 the commission on industrial
relations, the president said;
Labor should Be PrObed.
There should be an inquiry by the
federal government into the general
conditions OF labor in the United States
Notwithstanding the fyrt sthat some OF
the remedies viii lie with the sepa-
rate states. or even entirely outside
the sphere Of governmental activity,
IN the hands Of private individuals and
of voluntary agencies. One legitimate

Message on Alaska
President Taft today also sent 10 con-
gress his promised message on Alaska
and the public domain in general. In
urging the construction of a govern
ment railroad, q commission form Of
government and other needed leg1sla-
ton for the faraway territory, presi-
dent Taft declared there was nothing
in the history Of tue United states
which afforded such Just reason TOT
criticism as the failure of the federal
government to extend the benefit OF
its fostering care 10 Alaska
Il am not in favor OF government
ownership where the same certainty
and efficiency Of service can be had
BY private enterprise, said the pres
ident but ] think the conditions pre-
scented in Alaska are Of such char
acter as TO warrant the government,
for the purpose Of encouraging the
development Of that vast and remark
able territory, to build and own a
trunk line railroad, which 1t can lease
on terms which may be varied and
changed to meet the growing prosper
ity and development Of the territory.
President Taft said there was little
likelihood that the Morgan-G uggen-
helm interests would open up a rail-
road under the present conditions in
Alaska.
Favors Commission Form.
The president would have a commits
sion form Of government for Alaska
one-half Of the commission to be elect
ed and the other half appointed by
the president
A leasing system was proposed by
the president for government coal and
phosphate lands in Alaska, as well as
in the United States.
Ha Ia Of he nj ar
States should be modified, in the opil-
ion Of the president SO that homie
steader might be granted a patent at
the end Of five years Of cultivation and
three years Of occupation. The pres
ident also would relieve homesteaders
from the requirement of occupation at
a time when the condition Of the land
could make II burdensome and diff
cult
Control Of Water Power.
Following a suggestion of secretary
OF the interior Fisher. president Taft
declared in his message that the con-
troll Of water power sites should re-
main in the natiOnal government rath-
er than be turned over to the states.
He would have the sites disposed Of by
direct lease from the government, the
rental TO be used in Improvement OF
the stream and for the benefit of the
local community where the power site
was located The president would give
to the states the right to regulate the
rates at which the converted power
was sold. The proper disposition OF
water power sites has been one Of the
most serious subjects discussed by con-
President Taft believes
that the leasing system he now sug-
gests is the best solution Of the prob
lem; that If would mean honesty Of
and the prevention OF :
abuses which a monopoly OF absolute A.
ownership in private persons or COM (
panies would make possible.

, VASSAR "POLisH" OVERCOME,

A number of the students of
Wellesley college have recently won
renown by polishing the shoes Of
their weather. sisters to get together
a student fund. This is not the only
shoe shining venture on the part Of
college girls, according to Vass..
graduate, who, spurred on by the
claims for distinction by the up-and-
com ng Wellesleyans said: "About
twenty girls at Vassar polished the
boots of a prominent Englishman
who lectured at the college, and, fur
thermore, there was no renlunera-
ton. Like all Englishmen, this one
put his shoes outside his door at
night. He had a room in Main hall.
When the girls discovered the shoes
about twenty Of them insisted ca

SOME MIXER OF METAPHORS
Late Joseph Enriuht, Noted Lawyer Of
Vermont, Took Palm for Rhe-
toricai BIunders.

The late Joseph Enright was
noted throughout Vermont for his
success with juries, and also for his
amusing rhetoric blunders. AT one
time he was conducting case at
Newfane for woman from whom
some cattle had been taken by
fraudulent means. In describing
the acts of the defendant to the jury,
Mr.. Enright said:
E'And he came with lying foot
steps, and the cloak Of hypocrisy was
in his mouth, and he put his hand
into the pocket Of my defenseless
client, and took therefrom a pair Of
steers and yoke Of oxen.''
At another time Mr.. Enright was
examining veterinary, who was tes-
tifying as an expert, in a case where
in it was alleged that a horse had
been treated improperly for lockjaw.
Enright asked the following hypo-
thetical question Of the witness:
'If veterinary goes to see
horse, and he is examined by the
veterinary, and he puts his hand
down his throat-the veterinary
opens his mouth and shoves his hand
down his throat-that is, the vetcp-
mary does that when he is suffering
from lockjaw-what do you say as to
that being proper method of treat
1nent in a case Of lockjaw?''
There have been longer "hypo-
theticals," but few more difficult to
unravel.-Youth's Companion.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL "REv.vAL. :"

Several newspapers note, with
qualification and deep interest, signs
OF revival of the vice presiden-
tial office. At times no one seems
to want the vice presidency. but in
this exciting and astonishing year
there is, it appears. plenty of active
competition for the Chicago and
Baltimore nominations for that Of
flee.
The historical argument for the
Importance of the vice presidcn-
cy is not only familiar but thread
bare. No one ever denies the
theoretical proposition. Five
American vice presidents actually
succeeded to the chief magistracy-
Tyler, Fillmore. Johnson, Arthur
and Roosevelt. That a vice presi
dent does not renounce all hopes Of
prcferment at the hands of the peo-
pie the cases OF John Adams, JEFF
ferson, Van Beren and Roosevelt
show. In other words, a man may
be regularly nominated and elected
presidedt after serving modestly
and "obscurcly" as vice president.
Then why should the vice presi-
dency need revival =? Why
should not men of presidential size
seek the office? And why should
not public opinion insist On tender
ing the nomination for it to none
but such men?
In spite of all theoretical consid-
.erations the practice has grown up
of conceding" the vice presidency
to the defeated faction as conso
lation prize. Men are selected for
all sorts Of reasons-geographcal,
personal, strategic. but few ask
bluntly: What would happen if
fate should place this man in the
White House? This year, howev-
err. healthy change is predicted

AFFINITIES OF ExPEDIENCY,
