there will be a saving of over one hundred and

g EeRETARY HOOVER may not have the
~ wisdom that his enthusiastic friends give him
credit for But when he takes the public into his conf
deneeina speech as he did in Boston the other day,
The reaction certainly is that he knows what be is
talking about He discussed The industrial and nanc-
al situation Of the world in general and this country
IN particular at some length and wound up with the
following:
sBut when all is said and done, the
real cure for all depressions is courage and
applied intelligence and the return to pri-
mary virtues OF hard. conscientious toll aud
economy in living. On every side there Is
evidence that the vast majority OF our
whole nation is making again an effort in
those directions equaled only by that OF
1913 While our recovery may be slower
thanlsom may expect, nothing can prevent
the prosperity Of country where the
people have enlightenment. wish to work,
wish TO produce, and wish to do right by
theirsneighbors.
1--WE are a nation OF men, women and
children. Our industrial system and our
commerce are simply implements for their
comfort and happiness.
when we deal with these great prob
lens OF business and economics we must
be inspired by the knowledge that we are
increasing and defending the standards
Of living OF all our people Upon this soil

that make our nation great"
THAT'S about the most statesmanke and inspira.

Taft Points Out

Politics of To-day
Corporations Loss of Power
as a Factor Is Beneficial;
Immigrants of Past Years
Superior to Present Ones

William Howard Taft, in a discus
sion of Representative Government"
last night at the Town Hall, said that
the country had been vastly benefited
because of the loss of power of the
corporation as factor in political cant
paigns. His address was the opening
lecture of the James Stokes lectureship
in politics under the direction of New
York University.
ut is too much TO say" said Mr.. Taft.
chat the influence of money in politics
has been eliminated, but certainly in
this respect great improvement is evil
dent. Corporations. who have been the
chief offenders, have been driven out
of political activity, not only by laws
forbidding contributions to Campaign
funds, but more effectively by public
opinion and watchfulness.
He added that to day there was but
little evidence of the prevalence of the
boss system in politics, the term now
being applied to disparage political
opponents.
Mr.. Taft called attention to the dam
ger OF organized labor strikes in re-
cent years. characterizing them as a
Il
hination Of minority to compel ma
,ority to yield to its demands" He re-
ferred to the Non-P Partisan League as
an example of an influence that is con-
trary to the principle of representa-
tive government.
In commenting on immigration, Mr..
Taft said: ave were more successful
IN IT." the ;. beginning :. in making these i'm
we have been of later years. Then
the immigrants were of better class.
When they came here they were dis
tributed in such a way among the
native born that they breathed in the
spirit. of our institutions and became
Americanized very much more quickly
than the immigrants who come to-day.
millions Of them do not speak our
language, while many of them have a
prejudice against all government and
do not have the sympathy with our
institutions which makes for real as
similation. They use this country only
as means Of earning livelihood and
not with any idea of supporting the
government and becoming a part Of it,"

Court Blames Low Wages
For Big Express Thefts

MACON. Ca, Aprii 30,-~In sentenc-
ing forty-one men, thirty-six of whom
We're found guilty and FIVE Of whom
pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy
to rob the American Railway Express
Company of $1.0o0,0oo. Federal Judge
Evans declared to-day that the whole
conspiracy was brought about because
"the express company did not pay
the messengers wages sufficient to give
them an adequate living"
"They applied for an increase said
Judge Evans, land that appeal was un-
successful. / think that in the begin
ming the whole purpose was to abstract
a sufficient amount from the company
to give them a raise in wages some
what on scale with the railroad en-
plcyees."
Judge Evans declined to hear pleas
Ter leniency from, lawyers. He called
the defendants before him separately
and in. many cases talked to them for a
few. minutes. He gave penitentiary
sentences to thirteen.
One defendant, j. J.. johnson, re-
ceived penitentiary sentence, Judge
Evans told him, because of your fond
ness for poker and you. appropriation

Many Saloons Here

Their Leases End
Police and Federal Agents
Expect Easier Job as Dry
Enforcers After May l as
Bars Will Become Fewer

Police and Federal agents who have
been busy drying up the city since the
passage OF the new enforcement law
expressed the belief last night that
their efforts would be considerably
lightened after to-day. Many leases on
saloons expire to-day and the police
feel that during their recent drive they
have convinced saloonkeepers who have
bean selling Intoxicating liquors that
their business is doomed. AS result
it is expected that many of the expir-
ing leases will not be renewed.
There were sixty arrests in the five
.horoughs during the twenty-four hours
ending at midnight Friday. The seiz-
pres included $50 bottles, sc barrels, 8
cases, Q kegs and 2 cans containing in
Soxicants, it was alleged. One automo-
bile also was taken.

"a Suffolk Street, was discharged as
innocent yesterday by Magistrate Simp~
son, after being in the Tombs for four
days, charged with having pint of

was medicated and was unfit for bev-
bragg purposes.

Office had received about 1900 COM
plants, and thirty additional cases
would be presented for indictment on
