Another Thrilling Struggle Be

tween the Radicals and Conservatives Is Promised

To the Public.

(By Jonathan Winfleld.)

Washington, Nov. 20. When President Taft returned from bis continent-

girdling trip November 10, the solid

substantial work of his administration

began, according to Its supporters.

Ths executive has entereed seriously upon his task of "clinching the Roose

velt policies," to which he pledged him-

Self with such emphasis In the campaign a year ago. That he means to

carry out this pledge, and to com

pieteiy dispel the forecast of those who .profess to see the fine Italian hand of the reactionary In his acts, is not doubted by those wbo are in touch with his advisers. Some question his

: methods, but none disputes his inten Hons.

President Taft Is determined upon a more rigid control by the federal gov

ernment of corporations. This will be the keystone of his policies. Now that the tariff Is out of the way, for ' the time at least, he is prepared to concentrate his energies upon this

propaganda. V Message to Congress.

. In his forthcoming message to con-

grossthe will make it clear that he desires to go further than even President Roosevelt Intended doing. He hopes to have the record of his admin

istration go down Into history as that

which tamed and subdued the predato

ry corporate Interests, but he will conduct bis fight through the channels of

, legislation, and sot by spasmodic agl tatlon. This means; of course, that the con

trol of corporations will be the sub

ject uppermost In the coming session of congress, and consequently that

Another hot and thrilling struggle between the radicals and the conservatives, such as took place when the Hepburn rate law was passed, is likely to electrify the country. When the corporation tax was under discussion, during the fight over the tariff bill, the President referred to It as the "first step" In the control of . corporations. The next step It is understood, will be the control of the issue of stocks and bonds of inter-state corporations. Just where the president Intends to vest this control is not definitely known, but his "cabinet of lawyers," with the able assistance of Senator Root, of New York, has Been the question under consideration, and h is not doubted that the right path out of the labyrinth, will be found. Steers Middle Course.

It is not likely, however, that the

president will go far enough to please

the radicals and the extremists in con

gress. Predictions are plentiful that

In steering a middle course he will

make more enemies than friends, lie

would be the last to avow himself an

enemy or corporations. He ha the highest possible regard for the rights of private property. The federal control will in tlmo be recognized as the true protection an 1 safeguard of corporations in his. be list, and in presenting his pro' am to congress,' he is certain to insist upon adequate regulation without any compromise. President Tafe will probably displease the radicals by recommending

an amendment to the Sherman AntiTrust law. He will urge that the general prohibition of the present law against all combinations and contracts

in restraint of trade be limited to such as constitute conspiracies with intent to restrain trade. . The radicals and insurgents are s.iid to be unalterably opposed to this amendment, and have already communicated their displeasure to the president, although with what effect, re-

mains to be seen. They insist thai it

strainers and the trusts. In close relation to this recommendation will be that regarding a change In the administration of the Interstate Commerce Law. The president alms at restricting the commission to the

proper functions of a quasi-judicial

body. It will hear and determine

complaints and other causes coming

to It from the Bureau of Coroorations

which will have the general administration of the commerce law to look after, and the preliminary investigation of complaints of its violation. Prosecutions Planned. Prosecutions In the courts for such violations will be undertaken by the proposed Bureau of the Department of Justice, and appeals from the Interstate Commerce Commission will be taken directly to the proposed commerce court, instead of to anyone of the various district courts, as at present This new court would tend to lessen delay in reaching decisions, and to simplify and nnify the practice. : That tbe strongest kind of opposftlon to this plan will be manifested in congress Is not doubted. The insurgents and radicals will - fight to the last ditch against it, although the president believes that It will strengthen the administration of commerce i

The Yard Stick of Commerce Cannot Be Used in Making a Piano of Art There is something in a piano besides wood and metal. There is a soul which gives it an individuality, and a timbre. To the eye, all violins may look alike, but when placed in the hands of a master, the strains of a real Stradivarius bespeak that indefinable art that has entered into its construction. The same is true with a piano. There is something to be attained, even after mechanical possibilities have been exhausted and the rules of the most scientific construction have been carried out in detail.

I- A

The Starr Piano not only represents the highest type of piano construction, but it is also acknowledged to possess that unseen qual- 'L?!j ich makes it a work of art instead of a piece'of machinery which has commended it to prominent musicians.

laws instead of weakening it. If the

commission is to be restricted to hearing only such complaints as con1';

to it from the Bureau of Corporations tbe insurgents will be absolutely un

compromising in their attitude toward the legislation. There is little chance of the proposed commerce court being established, because both factions are against encumbering the law with further courts and commissions. The president will probably recommend the establishment of postal savings banks and ship subsidies. There will be a long debate about the constitutionality of the former, because many members of congress who favor the principle of the postal bank, are certain that the legislation would be thrown out by the Supreme Court. , They say that the bank would interfere with , the control now exercised

over property by the states, so that I

In speaking of the conditions of the Filipinos, Mr. Smelser thinks they are fax from able to govern themselves. As a rule, tbey are ignorant, but since the United States has taken charge of affairs the conditions are rapidly growing better.

Mr. Smelser thinks that two years of experience in the Philippines is worth ten here and believes that a young man can do well if he has "fire and dash" about him.

At the present time Mr. Smelser is supervisor over two pueblos Qujutngan and Tayasan, which are over fifty miles long and having a population of twenty-eight thousand. There are thirty barric schools, bavins; an enrollment of about three thousand scholars, in those pueblos, of which there are forty-four native teachers, all under Mr. Smelser. He is in a good healthful place, but it is in a remote location. He is required to use Spanish all together and he very , rarely sees a white man. Mr. Smelser as supervisor, has to irspect and visit the schools, advise the teachers, issue thousands of dollars worth of books, build school houses, build desks and play the diplomat with the officials,
