TAFT ADMITS HIS ADDRESS A MISTAKE

In Interview President Says Winona Speech Was Dictated in Haste. WEW YORK, Dec. 1. President Taft in an authorized interview, which he gave to Frances K. Leupp, and which will appear in this week's number of The Outlook, has taken the public into his confidence regarding many of his policies. "Speaking of the tariff issue, Mr. President, if you could begin your Administration again, would you repeat your Winona speech tomorrow?" the interviewer asked. "In phraseology, no; in effect, yes. Had I known as much then as I do now, I should have realized that there are some things, one cannot leave to be taken for granted. I dictated that speech to a stenographer on the cars between two stations, and glanced through it only enough to straighten its grammar; it was sf-nt out by the press with correspondingly little ceremony, so that the papers received it in all sorts of shapes. If I had prepared It two or three weeks before and re- . vised it deliberately, as I ought to have done, I should have clarified several pannages. And, particularly, I should have changed the sentence where I proclaim the Payne tariff act the best, ever passed. The comparative would have been a better description than the superlative; for, whatever its shortcomings, the act still contains less to be criticised than its predecosors, and it did, as a whole, revise the existing schedule downward. Taft Finds No Fault, had no fault to And with either Democrats or Insurgents for trying to reduce any duties they chose; what I object to is disturbing the business of the country today, when there is nothing better than guess work to proceed up, and then disturbing it afresh six Months later when the best available Information is before us. I do not join In the charge of inconsistency against the Democrats fcr compromising with TjH Kollette on the wool schedule instead of standing by their own figures. If they could not get all the reduction they asked for, they were quite justified in taking what they could get. My chief criticism on their tariff activities last session was that they were willing to send to me legislation so crude and ill digested that they must have known, if they had paused to think, that I could not possibly approve it." "Is your tariff reduction program based on the theory that it will bring about a corresponding reduction in the cost of living?" "I think that that effect is greatly overestimated. My chief objection to a needlessly high tariff is that it nourishes monopoly. It Holds forth a constant temptation to the formation of little trusts, which often are more directly oppressive to the consumer than big ones." "Mr. President, there is your Tariff Board. You hav been sharply criticised for making it up of men who are not tariff experts." No Pretense of Being Experts. "And that is true; they are not. If I had been appointing a board of tariff experts I could uot have got along with less than 25, in order to do justice to all branches of the subject. What I undertook to do was to make up a board of trained investigators, capable of managing a thorough inquiry into costs of production and of analyzing Its elements. First, Mr. MacVeagh wrote to friends in leading universities, asking each to give me a list of tbe econoimists considered by them best equipped for the task in hand. Prof. Emery's name was on all the lists and at the top of half of them, so I made him Chairman of the board. Page comes from the University of Virginia, Sanders is an authority on agriculture, Reynolds, in Interpreting and enforcing the tariff laws for four years, had presumably learned the Ins and outs of that business, and Howard I regarded as the ablest Southern Representative in Congress in my day. These men made no pretense of being tariff experts; they employ all the expert help they need. "I fully realize, and I wish our people would, that the present prosperity of the Treasury is due In no small measure to the existing tariff, which notwithstanding all its faults, is a revenue producer. There is a good deal more that can be said for that act. It gave us a maximum and minimum tariff proviso which I deem of fhe highest importance, and which tended to increase our foreign trade substantially. Despaired at Times. It gave free trade with the Philippines, which has made the islands more prosperous than ever in their history, without injury to any American Industry. It gave authority that I used to create and appoint a Tariff Board, which, though cot the commission I ought, is doing a most useful work; and it imposed a corporation tax, on which I had set my heart, but which at times I despaired of getting through. "Now that you have launched your project for a constitutional amendment you probably have in mind some particular form of general income tax to recommend to Congress when it is free to act?" "In a way, yes. I believe, on principle, in a general income tax. The only good arguments against it are that it Is Inquisitorial, and that it offers a temptation to perjury. But I would not resort to the ordinary income tax except in an emergency like war. when I would have It graduated so that those citizens who bad most at stake should bear a correspondingly large share of the burden of the common "defense. In time of peace I would avoid tempta- , tlon to perjury, and would confine the 1 Government to taxes that do not Inolvo auch inquisitorial methods in - their collection."

PROBATE COURT HEWS

The late Mrs. Jane M. Reid, who died November 22, according to the will which was probated in the Wayne circuit court bequeathed her residence property in this city to her son, Vernon, to be held by bim during bis life, and in event of his death it shall be inherited by his children. In case there are no children, her daughter, Mrs. Elva Baker, shall receive the home upon the death of her brother. The value of the estate of the late John Shafer, a well known farmer, living in the western part of the county, was $25,659.26, according to the final report of the executor, Adam Henry Shafer. To each of the nine children was distributed $2701.07. A balance of seven cents is shown in recapitulation. The executor does not touch upon the distribution of the balance on hand in bis report. The balance can not be divided evenly among the heirs in as much as there are nine. Administrator of the estate of the late Calvin C. Wissler, of Cambridge City, who died while visiting in Portland, Ore , over a year ago, has filed final report showing that, the total value of the estate was $1074.25, of which $866 was distributed among heirs, the residue being expended to pay debts against the estate. Joseph Hassenbusch in making final report in the matter of the estate of his late wife, Sophia Hassenbusch, shows that there were ho debts, and that the terms of the will had been exercised by the payment of a thousand dollar legacy to the daughter, Miss Gertrude.

There were no pillar boxes in those days, and the sound of tbe bell brought people who lived far from a postofflce to their doors to give the postman their letters to post In "Pickwick." however, we have evidence that even then the muffin man was chief among hand bell ringers.

COUNTY FARMS AS MODELSJIEW PLM Proposed by This Method to Conserve the Soil Fertility in U. S.

(Palladium Special) CHICAGO, Dec. 1. "Make the county poor farms the model farms of pverv countv where the lessons of good seed, good fertilizing and good methods shall be taught," this is the slogan soon to be proclaimed by a committee seeking a practical plan of soil conservation and general agricultural education. The need for some nation-wide, practical method of arousing farmers to the immediate profit of building up instead of depleting their farms was given new impetus by the speech of James J. Hill -at the opening of the great Land Show in Chicago. "If American resources are to be conserved the farmer must be educated on "uife own ground and in a practical way." said Mr. Hill. "Practically all of the so-called expert or practical information on farming disseminated by our colleges today is too technical to be understood by the farmer. It goes over his head. If the farmer is to be made to understand the value of the soil and how to replace its fertility he will have tc be met en his land and shown how to do it there. He doesn't pay any attention to present methods for conserving the soil. He is going ahead in the same way that farmers have done through all the centuries. The same thing was done years ago in Morocco and in the days of Rome. At one time in the world's history Sicily produced 12,000,000 bushels of wheat and now it produces only 1,000,000. The farmer worked the soil as long as he could without thought of fertilization." Exhibits from 20 states and sever al provinces of Canada are in place at this third annual land show at the I Coliseum. Great interest among city men and women has been aroused in the movement back to the land. The exhibits have given them something tangible to see from all localities, for the states represented are Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia. Idaho. Louisiana. Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota. Kansas, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Utah, Mississip)! and Texas.

The $125,000 theater erected by the government for the benefit of the inmates of St. Elizabeth's Insane asylum was opened today. The theater is to be devoted to the display of moving pictures, which alienists declare to be a great aid in curing insanity. The theater is called Hitchcock hall, in honor of Ethen Allen Hitchcock, who was secretary of the interior at the time the appropriation for the erection of the building was passed by congress. Plenty of nice, fresh Oysters at Price's, Standards, Selects and Counts. The Consulting Caddie. There is one person who of late years has rather disappeared from the golfing world, but used to be greatly in evident in it tbe advisory caddie. Many of tbe caddies of tbe old S-Jotch school used to treat their masters (so called) much In the manner that a good old nurse treats a baby when she is beginning to teach it how to walk. In those days there was not a stroke played without the most careful consultation with these sapient mentors. London Tatler.

CUPID IIOHO BUSY November, 1911, Falls Below November, 1910.

Cupid's activities in November did not equal those of the corresponding month in 1910, though the little fellow made a spurt on the last day the office of the marriage registrar was open. He scored nine times. The records for November, 1910, show that forty-seven licenses were issued, while so far as completed those for the month just passed show fortythree licenses issued. Thanksgiving day, or Thanksgiving eve, are the two most popular perioas in the year, for those matrimonially inclined. Christmas is popular, but nothing like Thanksgiving day. Owing to the clerk's office being closed on Thanksgiving day, whether legally or illegally, the licenses were issued Wednesday. They are as follows : Leroy Morrow, Camden, O., 24, farmer, and Mireio J. Ramsey, Richmond, clerk. William E. Blue, Richmond, 24, carpenter, and Myrl Eadler, Richmond, 16, consent of mother.

RETURN MURDERER

TO BOOIIEVILLE Admits Triple Murder, but Says-He Feels Justified in His Crime. BOONE VI LLE, Ind., Dec. 1. Wil liam Lee, confessed slayer of his fath- i er, mother and brother, has been brought to Booneville from the Indiana j reformatory at Jeffersonville and hur-1 ried to a cell in the county jail. lee ' was under guard of Sheriff Raymond Scales and Prosecutor Ora Davis. Only a few people were at the station when the train arrived and Lee was hardly recognized. Sheriff Scales endeavored to slip his prisoner into the Jail. A newspaper man recognized Lee and a crowd gathered almost instantly. Lee was heard to say, "It's a mob." Without paying attention to the crowd the sheriff and prosecutor put him Into a carriage and drove swiftly to the jail. Lee was locked up and three armed guards stationed around the jail. The crowd made no demonstration and quickly dispersed. The news that the triple murderer had returned soon spread and talk against him today was stronger than ever. The time which has elapsed since Lee murdered his three relatives with an ax as they slept in their little home here was thought by the officials to be sufficient for public sentiment to calm down. Prosecutor Davis says he does not care to discuss the matter of Lee's return. It has been learned, however, that Lee was returned in order to aid his attorney in preparing his case. His trial is set for December 18. It is said that Lee will plead "not guilty" to the charge of murder, asserting that he feared for his own life at the time he slew his father, mother and brother in their beds. In a statement this morning Lee said: "Yes, I killed them, I feel justified, because I thought they were going to kill me, and because of the whippings they gave me when I was a little boy. They mistreated me all Special lor December We have arranged for a big Special Offering in cigars for this month or while they last.

Lee continued telling in detail of the events from the time he left the home of his sweetheart at Newburg until he stole into the bedroom and committed the crime, of his lonely vigil in the house and tbe decision to burn the place to hide the evidence of his deed. His manner was cool and composed, although he had lost much of his former air of bravado.
