Washington, D. C-, March-. President Taft, among the numerous en

tries In the presidential race, promises to be most in the public eye during

the week, owing to his Western trip. The President is going to Chicago '.0 speak Saturday night at a meeting to be held under the auspices of the

Illinois Swedish-American Republican League in celebration of the semi-cen

tennial anniversary of the battle between John Ericsson's Monitor and the Confederate ram Merrlmac. On his way to Chicago the President will stop in Toledo, where. It Is announced, he will make a speech that will be an answer to Mr. Roosevelt's recent speech at Columbus. '

Several of the southern States are to receive attention from Harmon

and Wilson, the rival asplranta for the Democratic presidential nomination. Governor Wilson has accepted an invitation to address the Maryland legisla

ture Thursday evening, while Governor Harmon Is expected to speak before both the Maryland and Virginia lawmakers during the week.

State conventions to choose delegates to the Republican national con

vention will be held during the week in Alabama and New Mexico. It la re

President Taft, Cardinal Gibbons and other men of national prominence

will take part In the twelfth annual meeting of the National Civic Federa

tion, which will meet In Washington Tuesday for a three days' seslon. "Industrial Peace ad Progress" will be the general theme of consideration, with an exhaustive discussion of the practical operation of trade agreements between employers and employes.

At a meeting called for Kansas City next Monday plans are to be per

As a result of the municipal election Tuesday, Seattle may be the first

large city of the United States to adopt the single tax. On that day the voters

will pass on the Erlckson single tax amendment to the city charter. Broad ly stated, the amendment proposes to exempt all buildings and personal prop

STOP THE PRACTICE. T If Judge Virgil S. Reiter is sustained

In his decision that Justices of the peace have no Jurisdiction in cases involving the garnishment of wages on

boarding-house liens, he will have put

a stop to one of the worst abuses of

the Justice courts.

And the judges of these courts will

have only themselves to blame. Ev

erybody knows that you can't gar

nishee a man's wages for a whiskey bill and yet there Is hardly a week

passes that some poor woman Is deprived of her share of her husband's wages because some conscienceless sa

loonkeeper has tied up his wages for

"board and entertainment."

Practically every lawyer in the

county has realized that the practice of garnisheeing a man's wages for

most any sort of a debt was a gross

abuse of the Justice courts, but noth

ing was done until Judge Reiter rendered his decision.

The incident is of peculiar interest to the people of Fort Wayne In that It was developed during the trial that all of the seven were products of the pool room. In the pool room they acquired their first evil associates, there they were given their first lessons In crime, and there they rendezvoused to plot offenses against society and to divide the Ill-gotten spoils of pillage. In the pool room's atmosphere .heavy with cigarette smoke and bearing the constant burden of obscenity, profanity, and lawlessness, these boys lived in Idleness and dissipation. It was an evil tree and they were Its legitimate fruits.

NOW the question Is, can the Hon. Nels Bozarth come back?

FEW are called but Colonel Roosevelt was not chosen.

MR. Taft has got them all so far.

E'EN TRUE ! E'EN TRUE ! "The knell of the party boss has
