Ohio.—William H. Taft, secretary of war, made what he was pleased to term his “political confes sion of faith,’’ at Memorial hall, under the auspices of the Buckeye Repub lican club. The auditorium, which has a seating capacity of more than 5,000,' was packed to the doors. The address was notable from the fact that it is regarded as the plat form upon which he will make his campaign for the Republican nomina tion for President. Special Interest was manifested in Secretary Taft’s utterances on the tar iff. He reiterated his previous declara tions in favor of revision, and de clared that it would be both unwise and unsafe for the Republican party to fail to pledge Itself to revise the Dingley bill as soon after the next presidential election as possible. Taft also declared in favor of imprisonment of individuals responsible for viola tes of the anti-trust law, and for the giving or accepting of rebates, as more effective than fines. His defense of President Roosevelt’s policies evoked enthusiastic applause. Secretary Taft spoko in part as fol lows: “I have been invited by your body to discuss the national Issues. Some of these involve the abuses over which the public conscience has been aroused and the proper remedy for their re moval. “The first, and possibly the greatest abuse, has been in the management of tho arterial system of the country which the interstate railroads form. Any unjust discrimination in the terms upon which transportation of freight or passengers is afforded an individual or a locality paralyzes and withers the business of the Individual or the local ity exactly as the binding of the ar teries and veins leading to a member of the human body destroys its life. Rate Law Falla Short. “Tho rate law does not go far enough. The practice under It has al ready disclosed the necessity for new amendments and will doubtless sug gest more. Such is the true method — tho empirical and tentative method — of securing proper remedies for a new evil. “The classification of merchandise for transportation is a most important matter in rate fixing, for by a transfer from one class to another tho rate is changed and may work injustice. With the power of rate fixing, it would seem, should go tho power in the commission to classify and prescribe rules for uni form classification by all railroads. “Recent revelations have emphasized tho pernicious effect of the so-called over-capitalization of railroads which aids unscrupulous stock manipulators in disposing of railway securities at un reasonably high prices to innocent buyers. “A railroad company engaged In in terstate commerce should not bo per mitted, therefore, to issue stocks or bonds and put them on sale in the mar kot except after a certificate by the in terstate commerce commission that the securities are issued with the approval of tne commission for a legitimate rail road purpose. “Tho contention on behalf of the railroads, already noticed, that such supervision as the rate bill and these suggested amendments afford, is so cialistic and tends to government own ership, is utterly without basis. “They discharge a public function. Tiny have been weighed In the bnlance and found wanting. Tho remedy for the evils must be radical and effective. If It is not so, then we may certainly expect that tho movement toward gov ernment ownership will become a for midable one that can not be stayed. “Opposes Government Ownership." “I am opposed to government own ership— “ First, because existing government railways are not managed with either tho efficiency or economy of privately managed roads and the rates charged ' are not as low, and therefore not as beneficial to the public. ] “Second, because it would involve an expenditure of certainly twelve billions of dollars to acquire the Interstate rail ways and the creation of an enormous national debt. “Third, because it would place in the I hands of a reckless executive a power j of control over business and politics ! that the Imagination can hardly con ceive, and would expose our popular institutions to danger. “The movement of competing rail way companies to consolidate arose originally from fear that the anti trust act forbade them to make agree ments as to uniform tariffs. If they were now permitted to make such agreements subject to the approval of the interstate commerce commission, such a tendency would lose much of its force. Restrain Trusts by Injunction. “Another and perhaps the most ef fective method in the past for an un lawful trust to maintain itself has been to secure secret rebates or other unlawful advantage in transportation by threat of withholding business from the carrier. “This is undoubtedly what has en abled the Standard Oil Company and the Sugar trust and other great com binations to reap an illegal hnrvest and to drive all competitors from the field. “If by asserting complete federal control over the interstate railways of the country we can suppress secret rebates and discriminations of other kinds we shall have gone a long way in the suppression of the unlawful trusts. “Mr. Bryan asks me what I would do with the trusts: “I answer that I would restrain un lawful trusts with all the efficiency of Injunctive process and would punish with all the severity of criminal prosecu tion every attempt on the part of ag gregated capital through the illegal means I have described to suppress competition. “The attitude of the government toward combinations of capital for the reduction in the cost of production should be exactly the same as toward the combinations of labor for the pur pose of bettering the conditions of the wage Worker and of increasing his share of the joint profit of capital and labor. Differs With Bryan. “Mr. Bryan's method of suppressing unlawful trusts would be to require every person, partnership or corpora tion engaged in interstate traffic to take out a federal license, and by withholding such licenses from illegal trusts he would make them impossible It is probable that a statute embody ing this plan could be drawn which would stand the test of the constitu tion. It would, however, have to con tain some provision for ultimate ju dicial determination of those appli cants for license who were violating the anti trust law, ana thus involve the same litigation we now have. “One of the results of the conditions and evils which I have been describ ing has been the concentration of enormous wealth in the hands of few men. “Federal action for a federal end may legitimately have an indirect ef fect to aid the states in reforms pe culiarly within .their cognizance. “When, therefore, the government revenues need addition, or readjust ment I believe a federal graduated in heritance tax to be a useful means of raising government funds. It is eas ily and certainly collected. “The incidence of taxation is heav iest on those best able to stand it, and indirectly, while not placing undue re striction on individual effort, it w'ould moderate the for the amassing of immense fortunes. “A graduated income tax would also discourage the accumulation of enormous wealth, but the Supreme Court has held an income tax not to be a valid exercise of power by the federal government. The objection to it from a practical standpoint is its inquisitorial character and the pre mium it puts on perjury. “In times of great national need, however, an income tax would be of great assistance in furnishing means to carry on the government, and it is not free from doubt how the Supreme Court w ith changed membership would view a new income tax law under such conditions. Supports Roosevelt’s Ideas. “Mr. Roosevelt believes in the ne cessity for a strong government that can and will make both rich and poor obey the law, and he would have the o4»cers charged with its maintenance render due account of their steward ship to their masters, the people. Mr. Roosevelt knows no favorite in mat ters of lawlessness, be he rich or poor, corporation president or member of a labor union. The courts must be strong enough to restrain them all. “Mr. Roosevelt believes our present government the best possible one for us, and in every way adapted to the genius of our people. He has the ut most confidence in the capacity of the people through their representatives and by the means provided in the con stitution by our fathers to remedy the gvllb that arise in our material prog ress. “Mr. Bryan’s whole system of reme dies, on the other hand, for the evils that both Mr. Roosevelt and he and many others recognize, is based on his distrust of the houcsty, courage and impartiality of the individual as an agent on behalf of the people to carry on any part of government nnd rests on tne proposition that our present system of representative government is a failure. “He would have tho government ownership of railways, because he does not believe it is possible to secure an Interstate commerce commission that the ’money power’ cannot and will not ultimately own. “Mr. Bryan seems to be seeking some system of administering law un der which the rich wrongdoers Bhall be certainly restrained, while the lawless poor shall escape. He would have his judicial machinery adjusted to restrict tho violations of law by a corporation, but would give freedom of action to the lawless members of a labor union. In deed, in the constitution of Oklahoma, which he says Is the greatest constitu tion ever written, this anomaly pre vail!. FIRST MAKERS OF BEET SUGAR Beet Bugar Was First Made In th* West Fifty Years Ago. { It Is probable that many people, like those at the head of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, will be surprised to learn that the great indus try of making sugar from beets had its Inception in the United States among ’ the Mormons over fifty years ago. The Department of Agriculture, with praiseworthy enterprise, some time ago set afoot inquiries relative to the founding of the industry on this side • of the ocean, desiring to form a per- 1 manent record for its archives. Among I the first returns to its inquiries were 1 certain indisputable facts which showed that in 1852, when it cost SBOO a ton to transport freight from the Missouri river to Utah, the Mormon leaders had a sugar plant brought from I Liverpool to Fort Leavenworth via * New Orleans and the Mississippi river, thence by ox teams to the Rocky Mountains. It took fifty-two wagons to transport the machinery, which was of enormous weight, and over four months were required to make the journey. The caravan eventually arrived, tin I plant was set up, and in the spring of 1853 the beet seed, brought from j France in the year prior, was planted j by the farmers around Salt Lake City. The institution did not flourish at that time, largely because of the presence of alkaline salts in the soil and the fact that there was not then known any process for eliminating them from the beet. The plant, however, was used to manufacture sorghum, and for years its product was supplied to the people ! of Utah as well as to the immigrants bound for the gold diggings of Cali fornia. The early experience of the people, however, was not forgotten, and when in the eighties beet sugar manufacture began to be talked about in California and Nebraska, a group of Utah capital ists formed a company to thoroughly investigate the subject. Prominent among them was the late Elias Mor ris, who as an immigrant in 1852 had superintended the shipment of the pi oneer sugar plant, from the time it was loaded aboard ship in Liverpool, to the day it was unloaded from the wag ons in Salt Lake City. He with oth ers visited the factories in Nebraska and California, reported that the scheme was just as feasible for Utah as for those states, the Utah Sugar Company was formed and Mr. Morris was made its president. The first fac tory was erected at Lehi in 1890 and the first crop of beets was harvested In 1891. The story of the trials the company went through before it be came firmly established would fill a volume. Its promotors set out to raise a million dollars capital. Less than $300,000 was actually paid in and while the company was still struggling the panic of 1893 came along, and Its sub scription lists became valueless. But for the aid extended by the heads of the Church the institution must have collapsed. Ultimately its bonds were placed in the East and its floating in debtedness paid off. The farmers, too. who at first held back from going into the planting of sugar beets, gradually enlarged their acreage as they became convinced that a sure cash market for their product could be found at their doors —one, too, subject to no such fluctuations as attended the wheat crop—and from an output of a trifle over 1,000,000 pnuuds of sugar in 1891 the product of the Utah Sugar Com pany rose to over 21,000,000 pounds in 1902. Notwithstanding the fact that Utah has had the advantage of Colorado in longer experience in cultivating sugar beets. the latter commonwealth eclipsed her in the quantity and qual ity of beets raised ami converted into sugar at the present time. G. A. R. Encampment Denver.—With the approach of the day of the opening of the forty-first an nual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will meet nt Saratoga.

The official train will leave Denver at 1:30 o’clock on the afeornoon of September sth and the fare for the round trip will be $54.60. Members of the G. A. R. are complaining that tho Western Passenger Association haa de cided to charge rates one-third higher than those charged by eastern roads But the officers were unable to induce the western roads to conform to the lower rates. It la said that many dele gates have already decided that they cannot pay the advanced rates, and alternates will go in their places. The following men have been ap pointed as aides de camp on tho staff of Department Commander R. H. Mel lette: James F. Manning, Post No. 4, Denver; F. P. Wheeler. Post No 22. Colorado Springs; S. R.

Des Moines. —Kidnaped by & cyclone eighteen years ago, to discover himaelf »nly within the past few days, Charles Bonnett of Vallisca, lowa, has put the itrange story of Charlie Ross clear out of commission. Imagine a baby carried miles and miles by a whirling, shrieking storm cloud, deposited In a stranger’s yard, there found, nursed into life and finally liscovering a thousand miles away the real parents from whom as a babe he was separated eighteen years before. There you have the remarkable tale of Charles Bennett. Was ever a story stranger? Bennett's parents lived in Harrison county Missouri. Old settlers there well remember that fatal cyclone which swept over the county eighteen years ago. It left ruin and disaster In its wake. When the storm struck the Bennett cottago it literally tore the house to flinders. The father and mother were separated and the baby boy was picked up by the storm cloud and let down in the back yard of T. W. Hudson, a far mer, who was getting ready to move for Louisiana. Hudson took the youngster with him to Louisiana. There he reared him as his own. And it was not until the sup posed father and son quarreled the other day that Hudson told Bennett the remarkable story of his life. Bennett set forth to find himself. At a little town in Harrison county he dis covered a clew to his parents. There an old settler named “Hank” Barnes told him the story. He discovered soon after a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Richard- Bon, at Vallisca, and a brother in Fair field, Nebraska. The mother, who has long mourned the son as dead, is in California, and thither the victim of the cyclone will betake himself. Falls from Crags to Death. Canon City, Colo. —Miss Eugenie Goold, aged 28 years, a trained nurse oC this city, was instantly killed by falling off a high bluff above Howard. Miss Goold, who was a sufferer from hay fever, accompanied a party of campers ten days ago to a point lo cated above timber line on the Sangre de Cristo range. Several members of the party went out this morning for a climb to the crest of the range, where they could look over into the San Luis valley. On reaching a high cliff Miss Goold and a young man of the party sepa rated from the other members and be gan rolling rocks down the cliff for amusement. Miss Goold is said to have taken a stone and ran to the edge of the cliff, throwing it as far out as she could. She missed her footing and plunged over the precipice to the jagged rocks below. Her com panion climbed down the mountain side as quickly as possible and on reaching the body found that life was extinct. The other campers were noti fied and assisted in bringing the body to camp. Genevieve Goold, a sister of the dead woman, was in the party and tele phoned the facts from Howard to Dr. C. H. Wilkinson in this city, who noti fied the coroner. The body was badly crushed In the fall and It is believed that death was instantaneous. “CherokeeBill” Is Out. Trinidad, Colo. —“Cherokee Bill.” whose correct name is William Smith, s one-time notorious outlaw in south ern Colorado, has just been released from the Leavenworth prison and has returned to the scene of his early ad ventures. Cherokee Bill served four rears for the robbery of a postoffice at Carleton, Colorado, which is a small city near Lamar. The robbery occurred in 1902, and the men also had planned to rob a Santa Fe express train, but & heavy snow storm forced them to abandon the plot. For several weeks following the rob bery Smith was a fugitive in the can ons about Raton mountain and man aged to exist by killing cattle and cook ing the meat in a cave, to avoid the smoke from revealing his whereabouts.

San Francisco, Cal. —Twenty cases of Bubonic plague, four of which have resulted in death, have been reported to the health department. The patients, with one exception, were poor foreign ers, dwelling in the neighborhood <4 the old Chinatown. The exception was a foreign sailor from a coastwise steamer. Prompt measures were taken by the local, state and federal author ities to prevent a spread of the disease. Both President Jules A. Samon of the local health board, and Health Officer James T.

PRETTY GIRL CAUSE OF IT INBANEJEALOUSY OF RANCHER OVER SCHOOL TEACHER ENDS IN DEATH. SAID HE’D MAKE ROOM WAS TO HAVE BEEN GROOM IN FEW DAYS BUT CRUEL FATE INTERFERED. Meeker, Colo. —Imagining that his sweetheart, Miss Ethel Caldwell, a pretty school teacher, had been slighted by Clarence Mathes, E. Mc- Dowell mounted his horse, rode to the Mathes ranch and stated that he was going to kill everyone on the place. Mathes, who was forced to run from ft front of McDowell’s gun, ran -into a barn, secured a shotgun, and, emerg ing, shot McDowell three times, kill ing him Instantly. Both men are wealthy ranchmen and McDowell was to have been married next Wednesday to Miss Caldwell, who was the Inno cent cause of the duel. An inquest in the case was held here and the coroner’s Jury, after hearing all the testimony, brought in a verdict to the effect that McDowell had met his death on the morning of the day of the inquest and that death resulted from gunshot wounds inflicted by Clar ence Mathes. The jury held the killing to have been justifiable. Had Many Suitors. The circumstances which resulted in the killing and in bringing sorrow to the heart of the pretty school teacher who was soon to have been a bride are most unusual. Miss Caldwell had been teaching school in the country near the ranches of Mathes and Mc- Dowell for the past few yeat-s and had many suitors among the sturdy ranch men. McDowell won her hand after a violent courtship and Is said to have thought much more of his sweetheart than he did of his life. The ranch house of Mathes was the closest to the school house and Miss Caldwell desired to board and room there, but was told by Mathes that he had not the room to accommodate her, as his family was large. This caused Mc- Dowell to become enraged and In the morning he got on his horse and with his gun thrown across the saddle started for the Mathes ranch to de mand an explanation. On the road he met Miss Lottie Burdick and Homer Maxon and told them of the slight that he believed had been offered to his bride-to-be. Both Miss Burdick and Maxon stated that they did not believe Mathes intended to slight the young woman, but simply had not the room to accommodate her. “I’ll make some room up there, then,” McDowell said. “I’ll kill every on the Mathes ranch, then there’ll be room enough!” McDowell pulled his gun and ordered Maxon to accompany him to the Mathes ranch. Maxon talked McDow ell out of this idea and the enraged lover proceeded alone. Told to Prepare to Die. Arriving at the Mathes ranch. Mc- Dowell encountered Clarence Mathes. When within three feet of his intended victim McDowell drew his gun and told Mathes he had to die. Mathes ran for the barn and McDowell began fir ing. One shot went through Mathes’ coat. McDowell dismounted, drew a six shooter. and. cornering Mathes in the barn, told him to go into the house and shave and change his clothes, as he had better prepare to meet his Maker. Mathes jumped for his gun which hung by the door of the building, and, secur ing it, opened fire on McDowell. Three bullets took effect in McDowell’s body. One entered the left eye, another lodged in the neck, severing the jugu lar vein, and the third went through his right arm. McDowell fell dead at the third shot. At the inquest Mathes Insisted that he never thought in any but a kindly way of the school teacher and woule. have been pleased to have her lodge at his house if be had had sufficient room. Carrying a Load Of Peaches. Grand Junction, Colo. —With “Grand Junction. 1908,” as their slogan, one of the most representative delegations ever sent out from Grand Junction left over the Colorado Midland in a special car Monday for Greeley to attend the annual meeting of the Colorado Com mercial Association. The local delega tion will wage a vigorous campaign to secure the next convention of the or ganization for this city and also to ef fect a reorganization of the asso ciation, so that equal representation will be given to every part of the state. The delegation which consists of more than twenty-five business men from the various points in the Grand Valley, chartered a special Pullman sleeper. On the sides of the car streamers were strung with the inscription “Grand Valley Special to the Greeley Convention.” In addi tion to these each of the delegates wore a neat ribbon streamer badge, on which appeared in red letters, “The Grand Valley never fails.” A cut of a peach formed the decora tion of the badge. In the Pullman sleeper was loaded a large quantity of luscious fruit, and at every place where the train stopped this was handed out. Seek Railway Bids. Cnsper, Wyo.—Joseph H. and Fred '.obeli, who recently announced that they had Interested foreign capital In the construction of a railroad from Orin Junction to the Balt creek oil Held, a pipe line from the Popo Agle oil field to the railroad and two refin eries. are seeking bids for the survey ing of the proposed railway. CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT. At That, He Had Had Only What th# Doctor Ordered. A Philadelphia physician says that not long ago he was called to see an Irishman, and among other direction! told him to take an ounce of whisky three times a day. A day or so later he made another visit and found the man, while not so sick, undeniably drunk. “How did this happen?*’ the physi cian demanded of Pat’s wife, who wa» hovering about solicitously. “Sure, dochter, an’ ’tis just what you ordered, an’ no more, that he had,” she protested. “I said one ounce of whisky three times a day; that could not make him drunk,” the physician said. “He haa had much more than that.” "Divll a drop more, dochter, dear,’ 1 ' she declared. “Sure an’ oi didn’t know just how much an ounce was so ol wint to the drug store an’ asked, an’ the lad —he’s a broth of a boy, too —told me that an ounce was 16 drams and Pat has had thim regular, an’ no more!” —Harper’s Weekly. The Manchester canal was built at a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight rates for a distance of 35 miles, and, while it did not prove a good inter est bearing investment on such a large expenditure, its indirect and more permanent benefits are said to have warranted it. Germany has 3,000 miles of canal, carefully maintained, besides 7,000 miles of other waterway. France, with an area less than we would con sider a large state, has 3,000 miles of canal; and in the northern part, where the canals are most numerous, the railways are more prosperous. England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium are all contemplating further extension and improvement of their canal systems.—Century Maga zine. Her Secret Sorrow. “That woman over there has some hidden sorrow,” declared the sym pathetic one, as she came in and took her seat at a table not far away. “I have often noticed her. See. Her companion orders everything she could possibly want, and yet she sits there silent with a face like a mask. I am awfully sorry for her.” “Don’t you worry,” advised her pes simistic friend. “That’s her husband with her. She’s bored, that’s all.” A Big Loser. Mrs. Myles—l see the 24-year-old son of a London dry goods man is a bankrupt, having managed to get rid of $2,100,000 since he came of age. Mrs. Styles—Oh, well, boys will be boys! Mrs. Myles—Well, this looks as if a boy had an ambition to be a bridge whist player. Never Touched Him. "I have brought back the lawn mower I bought of you last week.” said the man with the side whiskers. “You said you would return my money If It wasn't satisfactory.” "Yes. that’s what I said,” replied the dealer, “but I assure you the money was perfectly satisfactory in every respect.” Left Army for Pork Trade. Aladar Stollncki. an aristocratic lieutenant of a Hungarian hussar reg iment, has resigned his commission to become an apprentice to a pork butch er in Budapest. He says he can not live on his pay—MOO a year—and that he considers a man of Intelligence and energy can do well in the pork trade. FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts FOOD A Body Balance People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might con tain more nourishment than one pound of Grape-Nuts, but not In shape that the system will absorb as large a pro portion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are pre pared and by natural means predi gested, transformed into a form of sugar, ready for Immediate assimila tion. People In all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc, right along, but there was no ten pounds of added fiesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food Is that Its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body In n condition of true health. Scientific se lection of food elements makes Grap» Nuts good and valuable.
