TAFT EXPLAINS WARNING.

President Fears No Repetition of Republican Disruption in 1894, Insists on More Conservation. Washington, July 2. President Taft, at the WhOte House -this even ihg. gave an interview to newspaper men, in which he amplified the meaning of his remarkable utterance at ,Ww Hävern the night before, when he sounded a" note of warning to his i . . . - . . party in reference to tantt legwaHon. me resident taiKea wjim cue utmost irecoom, tu vrui wie auiance that he would net be quoted in tne tust person, wnicn i tne sianaing White House rule. As the time fc, near at hand when the President will take a personal part m wie final adjustment ot tann schedules, it wa's not inopportune for him to send the note of warning to those who 'have been- daily rarsing rates to an irrational point. The President lis an ardent expon ent of the dCotrine di 'free raw ma:erials. He wa's gratified with the action of the House in removing such raw materials as hides, petroleum. coal, etc., from the dutiable list and Me hooes that the conference will eave them -on. Khe free list. Insists Upon Reductions. His -sincere belief is that the new .ariff measure will be a good bill if '.Vie reductions each branch ot Uongres has ordered are acquiesced in jy the other. He believe1 that be tween the two the Republican pledge of revrafion would be fulfilled m a arge degree and the new laiw convld I c defended tbefore the people. But Mr. Taft's warning note at Yale is not intended to foreshadow such a possible disruption of his pary as that which fallowed the pasage c'f the 'Wilson-Gorman law in :sJ4 which IVe-siilent Clevelaind per-1 mitted to become a law iwithout his I ignature after denouncing it in measured terms.

Washington has had ten days of 100 degree weath er. The heat hashad its effect on the Senate moving it to more voting and less vocal action.

CONFEDERATE MONEY.

Confederate notes have been e?er since the wai asr utterly worthless as anjfttoiflg can. he. Asa Southern sol dier wTote after the close of the truggle on the back of one of them: "Represerrtirig nothing on God's earth now and natight in the waters elcw it." Theyi surely stood ior nothing as money, while 'they were too numerous" to deserve to be ranked s curiosities The are still so eas ily, obtained that a cote of $500 eta be (bought for 25 eents cr even less. The Confederate states had no coinage. They took possession of the United States mint at New Orleans, coined all the bullion on hand wkh the United States dies, then in May, 1861, destroyed: those dies and or dered new dies made for the Confed:rate government. When these were made they were found to have been cut in such high relief that it was nearly impossible to work them. Four pieces only, half dollars, were truck whir1! formed the entire coin age of the Confederate states. Before l new die was made General Butler, with Uncle Sam's soldiers, had taken possession cf the mint. How to Live 00 Years Samuel G. Blythe happy man! He is living ten lives to the one of the average man. He is kind enough to tell the Springfield Journal Inis recipie, and if you will listen and heed, you too may; live 800 years in stead df the alloted four score. His philosophy sounds O. K. "Sam" iBlythe, as every one knows, is tne lc I tow who -writes serious things in a way to make us laug:i. He has a broad smile that goes into his "copy",' and when we read his amusing words we know that he chuckled when he wrote them. His name pronounces his character. Surrounded by a party of newspa per men, the genial "Sam" outlined hN personal philosophy, and it is a duty and a pleasure to pass it along. He, of course, referred to newspaper men, but his words apply to most people im every sort of bune-s-s. It is a philosophy that fits human life. 5am says he bias, earned his living ince be -was 16 years old by writing and he believes that there is no business in the world where the hours are so long, wxrk so exacting, discipline so rJgid and the sense of responsibility greater. -He says he wasn't fortunate enough to go to collegs but he beleves that it is a good thing for a man to get all the knowledgs toe can from ' whatever source he can. Men who succeed cn business are men who have ideas.- Of course, that's true in anv business. He also advises that men) specialize become experts in particular lines of interest and be better informed upon them than anyone else. Sam specializes on people writes about persons and not about things. And it's really wonoerful sometimes to see him pick a man to .pieces he tells men truths about themselves that they never thought of. But lrsten to what he says aibout living 800 years. The man who is ilways serious, has no sense of humor, lives a day in iwenty-four hours. "If you have a sense of humor," ays Sam, "for heaven's sake nurse it. Humor is the scarcest commodity in the United States. It is extmct elsewnere, almos;. Be happy yourseJf antf contribute to the happiness of other folks." Thai the secret of long life. The happy -person may live ten days in one, or 600 years in one lifetime. Yon see he has ten experiences to the sober-faced fellow's one. Sam says, speaking .to the newspaper men-: "Have a lot of fun see many grange things, work, keep aWay from" drink, keep -honest, don't grumble, and" He admits that you nay die in "honored and virtuous poverty," hut thi'vk how long you will htve lived. Total Increase I15O.C00.CCO. 'It is estimated that the total increases of taxes sxxrured as a result of Senator Beveridge's war on the tilust will bring aibout $15,000,000 annually into the United Sttatcs rreasury which now goes into the treasury pf the Tdbaicco Trust. There will be no change in the size of the fractional packages df smoking tobacco. The decision to increase the tobacco taxes renders inconsequential the question as to whether or not fractional packages shall be abolished and Senator Beveridge cheerfully conceded that point. It is admitted cm aN sides that Senator Beverijge is getting more out of the tariif revision, legislation than any other progressive senator. He gets not only these sweeping concessions as to tfohaoco, but his tariff commission proposition, also, which it is 'ndw tvssured will run the "ffanilet of conference. " Indiana Man for Panama. ".
