TAFT WILL WIN FIGHT FREE OR REDUCED RATES ON RAW MATERIAL WILL GO. President's Voice is all Powerful and Tinkering Conferees Realize That Fact. Washington, July 20, President Taft will win his fight for free or re duced; rates ot duty on raw materials. NSearly every member of the conference on tbe. tariff tall conceded this. The indications are that when the new tariff bill becomes a law the rates on the articles which the presi dent de-sired to come in free will be as follows: Iron ore, free (present rate forty cents- per ton). Oi!, free (now protected by countervailing duty). Hides, 7 and one-half per cent ad valorem (present rate 15 per cent) Coal, 43 cents per ton (present rate 67 cents). Lumber, probably $1.23 on rou-ght, with senate rates on finished. This would be a material reduction throughout the lumber schedule, Wilsen the conferees transferred to the president's shoulders the responisibitity of putting the foregoing raw materials on the free list it was not believed fie would meet with success in Jbrinfi'mc about a changed sentimenit in relation to these articles. Foi several days, 'however, members oi congress have been going to the white house and not a few of them came away convinced that the president was right in insisting tfliat all of these articles could stand, lower duties. It was not believed; he wvufd be able to put hides, lumber or coal on the free list, but it was acknowledged that any reduction in rates in the pending bill on these articles would amount to ari administration triumph. In effect, the president was told by the conferees that if iron ore, oil, coal hides or rurnber were put on the free 1it or the -rates reduced below the figures adopted in the senate he would "have to get the votes." It was- recognned that it would be impossible to put the lumber and coal or the free Kst as the conference report was to .be arfonterf W the senate. Neirfwsr u -n.-,- -s-i--I-- j - I could be reduced. That a chamge of sentiment had taken place in the senate on the matter of free iron ore ankl free oil was a matters common gossip about the capitol. It wias stated just as con fikntly that the 13 per cent ad va lorem rate otb hides would' have to be cut in !halft altrnougCi some opponents to the proposition of patting hdes 'on the free list are still hopeful of re taining a rate at high as 10 per cent. Coal, at 45 cents a tort, it was de clared, would prwc satisfactory to fears that the industry in tbat state every section except Wming, which might be ruined by cheap Canadian coal. Two railroads are now building from northwestern states to Canad, whir-ni utill tan -th I jiuAjh rwal I fields. Senator Clark and Representa tive Motnnel, of Wyoming, axe pro testing against any reduction from the present rate of 67 cents a ton, in spite of the fact that the senate ad opted a CO cent rate. It is understood that the 45 cent rate, if 'adopted will provide for no chajige in the existing rate af 15 cents a ton on slack but that the E'lkins amendrent providing that this rate should apply only to natural slack, ship ar such at the mines, wilt be accepted. Free Trade With Philippines. (President Taft will win another de cided victory in the Philippine frez trade provision. The isub-com mattes wbich has been considering this sec tian 'has Iek:7ded to permit the free admission of. 150,000,000 cigars annu ally, as requested by the president, in stead of seventy million as wouM be admitted under a senate amendment. It is expected that the Philippine sec tion as approved by the 9iib-commit tee will be adopted by the conferees on Mondav. It nrovides for the free ,.:,,:L r rn f oer tobacco and 1.500.000 pounds of t- owv. r nicr AJua.T--J a-ivu ovjvj.wyrv iinLa u 300,000 tons sugar. 'With the exception oi rice and the limitation placed upon tobacco and sugar, all articles "the growth, pro duct or manufacture of the Philip fne islands'," will be admitted free. The inclusion of the words "or manu facture," is the subject of -critrcrsm in many quarters. "Many members of congress rhinik they would make it .possibJe to ship raw materials into the Philippine islands for manufacture with cheaper labor and then bring rbem to the United States free of duty. Panama Canal Bonds. By action taken today tic tariff cornferees sietUled the question of giv ing the secretary of the treasury authorit to issiue fiilty year bonds' at a rate of interest not exceeding three per cent to cover the entire cost of purchasing the site and constructing the Panatma canal. An amendment to the tariff bill giving the authority was prepared by Secretary MacVeagh and delivered to Representative Payne at the treasury department during the noon recess. It was adopt ed -when tbe loomference wis resumed after luncheon. It is tinders toot! bonds to th amount of fifty millions, covering tbcost or" the canal property and the canal zone, will be issued at an early

late in order to reimburse the treas

ury working balance from which the money is .paid for the property was arawn. I Corporation Tax Safe There is n longer any question that the corporation tax amendment will be accepted. It will tax the net earnigs of corporations, organized for profit at the rate of one per cent. Practically the only subject conoidered during the forenoon session' of the conference was tih woolen schedule. These reduction were made on women's and children's dress goods, tops ami yarns. ! ; The meta'l schedule with the exccfpticin of won ore- and a lew ot its products practicably has been agreed upon. Some -of the paragraphs may be reopened wb n the iron ore question has -Seen settled. The coi.tVrees adjourned' at ü o'clock Saturday night until Monday. REFORMATORY GET TOBACCO.

Chinese girls bring from ten to a hundred tinves a-s much in the white slave markets at the United States as the 03,000 daughers of American homes who were sold la-st year, according 'to the best estimates made by the federal and state prosecutors for tne woman's world committee on legislation against the monstrcus traffic. The price usually put upon- a victim of a Chicago or New York procurer de vious deviltry last year was only from $30 to $30, but prices are now advanc ing because of the increasing difficultv and dantrer of the traffic because of laws secured by the committee's efforts in eight states of the union. fhe purchasers, who are usually keepers of disorderly nouses, loresee the end of t'he traffic and the conse quent restriction of their business. The traffic in Chinese girls, äo long deplored when, the raids upon native girlhood and womanhood were either unknown or ignored, is said Ao eep many highbinders on the Faci.ic coast in ilkw and affluence.

A most desirable an.t pleasing feature of the gathering as is usually the case at sfimilar meetings was the most bounteous and delicious dinner prepared and served by Mm. Myron Chase and Mrs. D. R.

An exchange says tßiat onlymethod of abolishing the Canada thistles is to pull them up by the roots before they go to seed. This is not so much a job if taken before a farm becomes badly afflicted with the pest ar.d when tfne 'ground is reasonably moist they no not pull hard. With an od pair of mittens on to protect the hands a great many can be gotten away 'with in a short time. Farmers shnulVl watch Ifor these thistles ingoing to and fro about their farms and whenever one is seen it shouid "f pulled tip, before it has a chance to go to seed and spread and make hundreds of others. A stitch in time' in this matter will save many times "nine." Goodby Paris Green.

I consider the washing of fruits and vegetables, especiaHy tlirfse .that are to be eatenr raw, of the greatest importance at all times of the year, and especially duniing the "summer, every head of lettuce, every radish, eAery apple and pear and berry that we buy at the market carries in from fhic fidld millions, of microbes upon its surface. AM truck vegetables that have been 'fertilized with stabile cleanings' arc especiaiLfy dangerous. If I had my way about it, manure should never be used or fertilizing any vegetables except the grains and cereals which are harvested far above the ground in wbach they grow. The green apple, which ha1 come into unenviable notrocity 'because of the colic t is supposed to give the youngster who eats it, is really not ast guilty as generally believed. The microbes on the -skin of the apple in all probability cause tfiie trouble. The chances are that not more than one boy in a hundred who eats green apples ever gets the colic anyway. I think it is largely a myth. "A's the -human frame does not need so much ifiuel to maintain heat during the summet time ai9 during the colder moritlbs, it is only rea,sonable to reduce the amount of food taik en into the storrtach. I have no use for a vegetarfan, fruitarian and other fads. Tbe human system was built for a mixed diet." LIABLE TO ARREST. Officiating Clergyman ot Justice Failed to Make Return on Marriages as Provided by Law. There is a grave question confronting the community in regard to several marriage licenses issued by the clerk of tbe Elkhart circuit count. Kiiyts the Goshen News Times. Either the parties are not married Or the minister, priest, justice, judJge, mayor or ralVbi failed to malce the return. By the act of 1905 it is made an c flense in Inidiana, punishable by a fine of from $5 to $100 to fail to return a marriage License and return of ceremony performed within three months after a marriage is performed. These marria-ge la wis at firsrt glance appear t rival, but a tittle thought by even the most careless will bring a realization that the law.s are ital to the very life if the government and society. A rabbi has been a-rrestcd in iSouth Bend for failure to make return. Among those to whom licenses have been istsued in ElkJliart county, and upon which returns are. past due aire: Ora F. Wright and Carrie Grube, both of Plymouth, iDecember 24, 1908. Tourists Travel Heavy. Railway officials say that so fax as the railroad companies are concerned there are no hard times this summer. Tourist travel both east and west was never heavier than at present and reduced rates are being taken advantage of by pleasure seeHcers. '

The state board of education1 has recently made some new rulings which will be of interest to the teachers and prospective teachers of (Marshall county. Heretofore the rule .tas been that all new teachers mosi be high school grakhiates and in addition must have a twelve weeks' prafessionaJ teachers' training course at some one of the accredited schools of the etat. The new rule is that a kctnise will not be given unless the applicant has beeti given credits fr jvery subject pursued during the twelve weeks course.' In someT instances prospective teachers have taken the professional course and have dabbled a fittle in some of the stibjectjs' w-hich were not required without doing enough work m the unrequired subjects to war rait cedit being giren. He eat er this sort of -work twill bar a tet:her frm se curing her licerase, because the teach;r must make good m every subject undertaken. Another new rub of interest to teachers has referen; tj inquiries made of the sttate superintendent ot public instruction about manuscript? sent there to be graded. When local teachers take an examination for teachers' license they have the privilege df hairrg their manuscripts graded by County, Superintendent Steinebach or ese ertt to the statt superintendent of public instruction. In the event a manuscnipt sent to IndGanapolis is given a license the applicant may then teach in any county of the state. All manuscripts seat to the state uperi me nde nt are sent by number ordy and no names appear. Hereafter if any person who has sent his manuscript to the state writes to the state superintendent about it and giive his name the manuscript will be hid äsöde and not gradedL v In the futntre aä'l manuscripts serit to the state superintendent wJ4 be graded entire, even if it is seen that the applicant fails on the first subject encountered. In this martmer all persons who fail "will have their grades and know what they fravc madei For the Whole Country.
