Taft Speaks at
Univ. Of Toronto.

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 2S.-I sincere
ly hope that our experience may give
you warning and cause you to take
prompter measures to prevent plu-
tocraey reaching the danger point"
said Former President William II.
Taft here tonight in an address deliv-
cred before the Literary and Scientific
Society of the University of Toronto.
The former president had dwelt on
the industrial expansion of Canada
and the probability that its people
would face the conditions of corpor-
ate control existing, in his opinion, in
the United States. Canada, he said,
had the advantage of profiting by the
mistakes made in. the United States
and had already shown discretion in
avoiding them. He hoped that such
restrictive measures as might be need
ed in Canada would be applied early
enough to avoid Excuses of reform"

Why and Wherefore
OF Price of Butter.

Chicago, Jan 2S.--The general Gus
tom among women of demanding the
most select grades of butter for their
tables has caused the retailer to put
his prices up to point not justified
by wholesale prices, according to a
statement today by ]. B. Mitchell,
president of the Chicago Butter and
Egg Board.
The actual difference between the
most fancy grades and the next grades
of good butter is so slight that the
purchaser frequently pays a rs per
cent increase prize for not more than
. or per cent. Improvement in quail
ity," said Mr.. Mitchell.
Then there are large quantities OF
good table butter, both fresh ana
storage, not good enough to grade as
extra, but fine enough to grace any
mans table, that sells at wholesale
at "a to 26 cents pound. and which
should retail at from 20 to 81 cents
pound

the question of increasing the President S
salary from $4,000 to $4,000 a year was still
in progress when the convention Of the
United Mine Workers of America ad-

call by William Houston, president of the
Indiana miners, who moved to recommit
the question to the committee on eonsti-
tuition. This, however, was voted down
after the convention had become noisy.
twenty-five and 30 delegates were on the
floor almost all the time during the de-
bate shouting Crooked work, Rail-

BoWDoIN'S POSITION.
Track Manager Issues Statement in
Relation to 3. A. A. Meet.

Brunswick, Me-, Jan. 2s.-In regard
to Bowdoin's position in relation to
the B. A. A. meet Feb. z, Track Man
ager Koughan has issued the follow
ing statement:
THE date for the close of entries
for the B. 4. A. meet was saturday,
Jan. "a. Bowdoin did not send any
entries for the reason that the Attn
letic Council voted that tBowdoin
should not compete in a race with
four colleges starting at once. As
much pressure as possible was brought
to bear upon the B. A. A. manage
ment to run the race as first agreed
namely, Bowdoin Us. Maine and Col
by VS.. Bates. AT a meeting OF the
athletic committee of the B. A. A.
held Saturday, Jan. IT, it was voted
unanimously that unless the Maine
colleges would agree to run as pro-
vided by the management; namely as
a race for the State championship in
relay, four colleges starting just as two
ordinarily, the invitation to meet
would be Withdrawn. At this notice,
the Maine colleges, Bowdoin excepted,
sent in their entries, and will race
Feb. for the championship of the
State.
There is, however, a Maine Inter
collegiate Athletic Association which
has not yet taken UP the matter of
a state relay championship. There
fore the college which wins this tri-
angular race will have no right to call
itself the champion of the State.
1.-THE Bowdoin relay team will prob
ably compete in one of the indoor
meets held at Providence or New
York, and will probably race some
institution outside the State"
