COMMERCE BOARD MEETS APPROVAL PRESIDENT TAFT

Interest Is Being Revived in The Board Which Was Created During the Administration of Roosevelt. LIKS THE INTEREST TAKEN IN PROJECT

One of the First Matters to Attract Attention of the Council Is Securing Large Membership.

being revived In the National council of commerce, and from recent state

ments of President Taft and members

of his cabinet interested In its oper

atlon, It is evident that the adminis

tration is In sympathy with the pur poses of the council, which was organized under the Roosevelt administration.

Recently the executive committee of

the council was in Washington and

called on President Taft, Secretary

Knox, Secretary MacVeagh and Secre

tary Nagel. The council is attached

to the department of commerce and labor, of which Secretary Nagel is the

head.

President Taft said, concerning the

work, that he felt genuinely- interest

cd in the formation of a body of business men who would be able to represent the needs of the country, and whose headquarters here could act as a clearing house between the great business interests of the country and the government. This was the attitude of the members of the cabinet toward the cabinet. The council is going ahead with its plans of organization and correspondence. One of the first subjects to demand the attention of the council Is the accumulation of a large membership. This Is desirable, not only to share the expense of conducting the work of the organization, but to make the council representative of the whole business life of the country. From the work already accomplished and the ready responses made by chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and other commercial organizations, who have joined the movement, It Is indicated that business men throughout the country are Interested in having direct representation in Washington.

expected to result in an improved ad

ministration of these possessions, with

a following benefit to American trade, it is said to be greatly favored by many of the members of the council. Steps, which have already been taken to improve the consular service and further plans to this end, have the cordial support of the council, for the reason that the more efficleine consular service the better w4be th-j representation abroad for American products. Recently the council appointed a committee of experts to look into the matter of rail and water transportation rates all over the world, paricularly In reference to the com petition of foreign owned ships with American merchant vessels. William R Corwine, of New York, the first secretary of the council, recently resigned. The council is looking for a successor. Chairman Schwab also recently resigned. His successor has not yet been selected.

Effect of the Famous "Whit Niflhte" Upon Vegetation. The famous "white nights" of the north are a most surprising phenomenon to the visitor from southern climes. It is a weird experience, declares A. M. Scott in "Through Finland." to sit for the first time upon a veranda at midnight and read a newspaper or to walk borne from a restaurant at 1 o'clock In the morning and to see people still gossiping at the street corners or strolling along the promenades under a bright, clear sky. A spirit of rest and peace is over all the earth. The sky is bright, not with the fiery brilliancy of noon, but with a tender, gentle radiance. The colors of the landscape have become softened, but not blended. There are no shadows save for a week or two in June, when the bright northern sky at midnight projects faint, ghostlike shadows toward the south. The sua just dips below the horizon and no more. There is no division between the sunset and the dawn. The same rosy flush serves for both. Summer in Finland is, in fact, one long day. Never a star is to be seen, and when the first faint star glimmers in the south it is a sign that the summer is past and that the autumn frosts have arrived. The long light has a marvelous effect upon vegetation, forcing its growth at

Deere Should Be Reversed Is the Opinion of th Chief of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals Gompers Has Nothing to Regret. In dissenting from the opinion of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia affirming the sentence of imprisonment on Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison, Chief Justice Shepard said in part: "Convinced that the court was without authority to make the only order which the defendants, Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison, can be said to have disobeyed, I can have no other opinion

than that the decree should be reversed. "As regards the conclusion that this proceeding must be regarded as criminal solely and in consequence that the evidence on which the conviction rests can be considered because not presented in a bill of exceptions reserved on the hearing. I will content myself with saying that I am not clearly convinced that it must be so regarded. The complaint was made by the complainant on whose behalf the injunction had been granted and for its own redress. No fine was imposed on behalf of the United States. The relief sought in the original bUl was not pecuniary. The punishment by imprisonment in disobedience of the writ was the only way in which the relief could be secured. "The order was announced Dec. 17, 1907. and entered Dec. 18. 1907. but no bond was given until Dec. 23, 1907. The specific charge is that after the granting of the order and before the giving of the bond the respondents Gompers and Morrison hastened to deposit in the malls the already printed number of the January Federation1st, which contained the publication of the complainant's name in the unfair list. It is not charged that any subsequent issue of the journal contained similar publication. Some general allegations respecting the circulation of the January number of the Federationist are too vague to form the foundation for criminal charge and conviction. "The gist of the charge is this 'rushing' of the journal in the mails between Dec. 17 and 23. The decree convicting the respondents cannot be supported on this charge, because the order for the injunction did not become operative and effective before compliance with the precedent condition." Referring to the speeches made by Mr. Gompers, which were mentioned by Justice Wright in imposing sentence, the chief justice said:

ALMOST MAGIC CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our eon. two years old. was very much afflicted with a breaking out or what looked to be a summer rah. I applied the usual remedies, such as washing with soda water and powdering with boric acid. Finally, after he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor. He paid it was merely a rash that was quite prevalent, and that I was giving the right treatment and that I should just continue it and the baby would soon be all right. But instead of getting better it was getting worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from it as he would tear the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense, causing loss of appetite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt him most the skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree so that rubbing or brushing would not break it. He was so feverish that I thought it a bad case of eczema. He could not wear any clothes but a little nightgown with the sleeves just fastened at the top of the shoulder. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found" a remedy in Cuticura Soap for bathing and Cuticura Ointment with which I anointed the sore places. This kept the rash from spreading and in less than a week the result was almost magical. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of it since he was cured. I am never very long without Cuticura Soap as my family knows the value of it and don't like a substitute. J. W. Lauck. Yukon, Okla., Aug. 28 and Sept. 17, 'OS.'1

in a large way, the extension of American commerce, both foreign and domestic, especially the latter. Following thg suggestion of Mr. Straus the council of commerce was organized at a conference held in

Washington December 5, 1907. at which were present delegates appointed by chambers of commerce, boards of trade and commercial organizations of various kinds throughout the United States. The first annual meeting was held In Washington, December 10, 1908. It was decided that the National council should consist of one representative from each of the industrial and commercial organizations throughout the country, which held a membership in the council. Gustave H. Schwab of New York, was chosen chairman, and presided at the first meeting, which was addressed by Mr. Straus. An executive committee was elected, B. A. Eckhart of Chicago, was chosen vice chairman and Frank B. B. Wiborg, of Cincinnati, treasurer. Purposes of Council. It was decided that the purposes of the council should be and the plan has remained unchanged to receive reports and suggestions from all commercial bodies as to their needs in the promotion of foreign and domestic commerce; to act on information and suggestions from the government concerning matters of interest to the business world; furnish the

government with information as to the needs and conditions of different industries; to suggest special industrial and business investigations abroad by agents of the department of commerce and labor; arranges for the exhibit of American products at foreign expositions; promote legislation favorable to commerce and promote friendly co-operation between commercial organizations throughout the United States. All regularly organized commercial and industrial associations in the United States and foreign possessions and business associations in foreign countries, composed of ciuzs of the United States residing or doiu business in such countries, are eligible to membership.

The Broadax. A city man who went out into the Ozarks to learn to make railroad ties was asked by a native whether he was right or left handed. "If you are left handed." he was told, "you will have to get a left handed broadax." The city man replied: "I'm wise to this left handed monkey wrench business. I'm from the city, but 1 know there is no such thing as a left handed broadax." But he was wrong. A broadax is beveled on one side only. A left handed man must have an ax with the bevel on the left side. Kansas City Times.
