PRESIDENT TALKS TARIFF; TELLS OF RECENT VETOES.

Awaits Information Accurate and Impartial on Which to Base Logical Tariff Revision. The president of the United Stated is making a tour of importance to all citizens of the country and all should be interested in the fact that Ihe Is traveling 13,000 miles to' talk about the- issues confronting the United States gevernment Thursday at Grand Rapids. Mfeh., he delivered a speech on the tariff, defending his vetoes of the wool, cotton and farmers* free list bills. He toet the issue frankly as he meets all public questions, and said that he was opposed to a revision with “blacksmith tools,” when a commission had been appointed to procure, accurateinformation on which to base intelligent tariff alterations. “Should that policy be approved by the electorate,” said the president, "then, of course, those of us who are now in office must give way to men who will carry out a different policy, but while we are in office one position should be clearly understood. We hollow this policy not only because we are pledged to it, but because we believe it right, because we believe that a full discussion and a close perception on the part of the people will convince them ultimately to approve and adopt it” *ln effect, President Taft charged - the insurgents with bad faith in having advocated the creation of the tariff board and then with not wishing to wait for its report. In speaking of his efforts for such a board, the President said: * ' "I hate had in the past the . hearty, support not only of the regular Republicans, but also, and even with more emphasis, those who call themselves progressive "I am going to tell you In as simple a way as I can why I vetoed the three tariff bills which congress submitted to me for signature at the close of this extra session. I called the session to secure the enactment in law of the Canadian reciprocity treaty. This was done oh July 22. Thereafter the wool bill, the free list bill and the cotton bill were presented to me for signa;, ture, and I returned them, without my approval, and explained my reasons for so doing in a special message on each bill. “I aid not going to discuss the Payne bill, except to say that the controversy over its merits and demerits developed a very strong sentiment among republicans, and, indeed, among many,democrats, that a bureau or commission or board of competent persons should be constituted to make investigation into the facts concerning the dutiable articles in the tariff, and to report them inf such a way that congress and the public, might be reliably advised of the probable effect of any proposed revision of the tariff in the future. It was properly felt that even when full .opportunity for hearings were given as they had been by .the comini tees of the house and the senate, in the case of the Payne bill, the advocates of the protected Interests would have the advantage over the consuming public, who would not organize to secure and present the evidence in their behalf for lower duties needed to secure a just judgment. .... “The Payne bill offered an opportunity to me to appoint a board of competent persons to assist me In the administration of the revenue laws and especially of the maximum and minimhm clause of that act; and the revenue laws were of sufficient latitude to enable me to direct this board to make a ‘glossary’ of the tariff terms and a kind of encyclopedia which would furnish- a guide to the Understanding of the tariff, and also to proceed to determine the comparative difference between the cost of production of dutiable articles under the various tariff schedules in this country and abroad.” ' ■

The President explained that at the extra session of 1909 the congress appropriated $75,000 for the tariff board. te dec?ar’ed W 7he n^n“m d ent torTeh a bokrd spread, and“added: “ThTre,Xng!,t nlnn mid dfnrpciat inir anv future rp- . - I a I K A jw v/waa aawaa sions drawn as to the facts upon which such revision cotild be property made ” Kansas to secure difference’betweeTthe

SMOOTH SWINDLER GOT FROM LANDLORD.

Otto Burtts Given as Name of Bad Check Professional Who Visited Rensselaer Tuesday Night Probably one of the smoothest swindlers in the country visited Rensselaer Tuesday night, stopping at the Makeever house. Wednesday he remained at the hotel for dinner and took the 1:55 train. He was a man of genteel appearance and claimed to be working for the Fairchild Publishing House of Chicago. He produced a check ostensibly from his employers. Attached to the check was a record which presumed to show bis expense account. It was nicely printed in three colors and the check was made out against the account in the Fourth National Bank of Chicago. Clarence Fate, the landlord, hesitated a moment about cashing the cheek and the man promptly pulled from his pocket several letters of endorsemenL This dispelled all doubt and Mr. Fate cashed the check. The man explained that he had been to the First National Bank here to have E- L. Hollingsworth cash the check, but Mr. Hollingsworth was out. . Mr. Fate took the check to the bank with his afternoon deposits and this Friday morning. the local bhnk was informed that there Was no stach bank in Chicago as the Fourth National and that l the check was doubtless fraudulent. Mr. Fate called the Fairchild Publishing Co. by long distance phone and was informed that Burtis had been working his game from Idaho to Chicago... : - ; - . Tkere is no clew on which to work. Burtis is a smooth swindler and will doubtless be slick enough to keep out of the way of i

Kloethe Cleaned Up the E. V. Ransford Racket Store Stock.

D. A. Kloethe'' finished up the Racket Store stock Thursday night, selling things in bunches by auction and giving away some things that he could not sell. Kloethe is a hustler and an entertaining auctioneer. He came here several weeks ago from Piper City, 111., and purchased for 14,000 the Ransford stock, of Chas. G. Spitler, the trustee. Some people thought he paid too much; the creditorswere well satisfied, but ‘ Kloethe seemed to know his business. He conducted several sales and followed this by auctioning off the stock himself. He proved a mighty ( good auctioneer and kept the crowds in a cheerful mood. He did not dwell long on any article; he either sold it or put it back on the shelf, and he nearly alway sold. Some times articles were sold for more. than the common retail price, while other things went very cheap. His customers were largely women from the city, Who were after bargains tn china. In closing up the sale Thursday night, he thanked people for their patronage and said that he had cleared about |1,400 after paying for the stock and all expenses. He went from Rensselaer to Waterloo, a small Illinois town, where he has purchased a stock. He follows this business all the time.

Goldie Bowen Granted Divorce, Custody of Child and Alimony.

All day Thursday the, time of the court was taken up in trying the divorce case of Goldie Bowen vs. Sam Bowen. The parties live near Newland. The testimony brought out the fact that the marriage was a hurry-up affair and that the baby, of which she asked the custody, was born about three months after they were married. Sam had taken his bride to the homo of his parents and they did not get along very pell. His mother .testified that ihe threatened to take the lives ot herself and her husband, or that was the way she interpreted it, (or she said that she would leave the child without either a mother or a father. It was shown that Sam, who is a young fellow and industrious and regarded aa a very good boy, bought a considerable amount of whiskey. This seemed to contribute to the troubles that led up to the separation. The court granted the divorce, gave the plaintiff the custody of the baby, gave judgment against the young husband for |8 a month for its support, also for the costs of the trial and ordered him to pay the plaintiff's attorneys, J. A. Dunlap and W. H. Parkinson, $25. X win Tot make a wTmaT heathy or

A 1 Warm floors in the home* which is the children’s play house in winter, are assured when using Cole's Original Hot Blast Heater. Ths steel base and body construction allows theheat to be radiated to the floor keeping it warm during the coldest weather. , Cole’s Original Hot Blast Heater The Cleanest—Easiest to Care For Burns Soft Coal, Lignite, Hard Coal, Crushed Coke, Wood and Cobs. Users of coal must remember that the ordinary heater is . a big care to operate. That its smoke and ashes entail dusting, curtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the ease of operation and the cleanliness of Cole’s Hot Blast. Cole's Hot Blast has a guaranteed smoke-proof feed door—- *. open the feed door and the current of air. draws the smoke directly across the top of stove to the stove pipe—away from the opening. z Contrast this simple, cleanly feed with the side door in an ordinary heater. The side door used on other stoves permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and accumulated soot drops from it. If you overfill a side door stoye, coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot make a side door heater air-tight—an everlasting advantage in favor of Cole's Hot Blast which is air-tight and guaranteed torcmain so always. No fires to build—the fire is never out in this remarkable heater from fall until taken down in the spring. Better select one today—surely it is the heater you need— Sr.**.'
