TAFT'S PLAN TO SAVE PARTY
President Wants Republicans to
Unite and Legalize a Genuine
Tariff Commission?Next Year's
Budget Will Be Fully
One Billion.
By GEORGE CLINTON.
Washington.?It Is said on seem
ingly good authority that President
Taft has given his sanction to a bill
far reaching In its effect which will
compel the affixing to cloths which
enter interstate commerce of a state
ment of the amount of cotton and of
wool which they contain. This meas
ure is called here in Washington a
"textile pure food bill." The framer
of the measure, Victor Murdock of
Kansas, says that no reason exists
why the consumer should not know
how much wool and how much eotton
he is getting in his clothes Just as he
knows under the pure food law how
much adulteration he is getting.
An effort is being made to get the
two Republican factions in congress
to pass a measure of this kind. It is

deal of opposition and It may be that
the "pure fabric law" will have as
long a Journey to passage as that
which the pure food law took before
It arrived at its station on the statute
books.
Taft'a Tariff Commission Plan.
As a fixed daily task President
Taft is laboring to bring togeth
er the Republican factions in con
gress in order that he may secure
legislation legalizing a genuine tariff
commission. One year ago Mr. Taft
might have worked nights as well as
days along the same line of endeavor
and at the end of 24 hours he would
have been at the beginning, for the
regulars and insurgents were so hos
tile to one another that attempts to
patch a peace would have been met
not only sulkily, but defiantly.
This year Mr. Taft, so the men close
to him say, has some real hope that
he can induce Mr. Cummins, Mr. La
Follette, Mr. Murdock and others to
link arms with Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Hale,
Mr. Boutelle and others and to present
a united effort on behalf of a tariff
commission. It remains yet to be seen
whether the president will be success
ful, but the politicians say he thinks
If a genuine tariff commission is sanc
tioned and iB allowed to go to work in
a businesslike way to pass on "proper
and improper duties," that the Demo
crats next year when they are in con
trol of the house will not think it wise
to upset the legislation. All this is
mere speculation, but it casts a light
on one of the chief ends of the ad
ministration's winter endeavor and on
the views of some of the Republicans
of what they must do in order to save
the presidential election to their
party.
Shall We Fortify the Canal?
The layman who Is neither a legis
lator nor an army officer would find
himself unquestionably confused, but
probably interested, if he were here
In Washington to listen to the argu
ments for and against the erection of
fortifications by Uncle Sam to guard
the Panama Canal. A great many of
the legislators are opposed to forti
lying tne waterway, wnne virtually aw
the army officers are in favor of it.
President Taft has endorsed the forti
fication plan strongly in his annual
message, in which he says:
"It is also well known :hat one of
the chief objects in the construction
of the canal has been to increase the
military effectiveness of our navy. By
convention we have indicated our de
sire for, and indeed undertaken, its
universal and equal use. Failure to
fortify the canal would leave the at
tainments of both these aims in the
position of rights and obligations
which we should be powerless to en
force and which could never in any
other way be absolutely safeguarded
against a desperate and irresponsible
enemy."
The arguments which pass between
the legislator and the army officer on
the question of whether or not big
guns ought to be placed on the isth
mus run something like this:
The legislator says: "The canal
should be neutralized, and all nations
should be asked to bind themselves to
preserve its neutrality. In this way we
will be saved the expense of fortifica
tion and all danger of the canal's de
struction in time of war will be avert
ed."
The army officer says: "An ounce of
gun metal is worth a pound of neu
tralization. If a country at war with
MOTORS IN THE KLONDIKE
Two Automobiles Are Being Used by
Mining Companies Near
Dawson.
Automobiles have penetrated to the
Klondike and Vice-Concul Woodward
reports that there are now two auto
mobiles In use In Dawson and vicin
ity, one a sixty-horsepower, three-pas
senger car, the other a twenty-horse
power four-passenger car. They are
used by officials of gold-mining com
panies in going to and from Dawson
and places of their dredging opera
tions.
Only a few years ago it was gen
erally conceded that it was impossible
to use an automobile in the Klondike.
Another seven-passenger touring car i
of thirty-five or forty horsepower was J
brought In for the purpose of hire and |
was principally used fcr pleasure and
business trips. This car was shipped I
to Alaska last spring on account of J
there not being sufficient demand at ;
Dawson for its profitable operation. It
tharged $15 for the first hour, $10 for ;
the United States finds It to Its ad
vantage to blow up the canal, the
canal will be blown up. The promise
to keep the peace would be whistled
down the wind in a minute. The only
way to keep the enemy off is to stand
him off with a gun. The canal cost
hundreds of millions. Under neutral
ization It could be destroyed In a
night."
Budget at Least a Billion.
At this stage of the session of con
gress some of the appropriation
bills have been little more than
skeletonized, but it is perfectly
apparent even at this early date
that the expenses of the government
for the next fiscal year will be at least
$1,000,000,000. Years ago representa
tives of the party in opposition used
to speak of the extravagances of their
opponents, and say that they were
bent on giving the country a "billion
dollar congress."
At the time this charge was consid
ered to be one of the highest flights
of rhetorical extravagance, and it is
doubtful if even those who made it
thought that the day would come for
scores of years when congress would
be called upon to appropriate $1,000,
000,000 in a single year for the ex
penses of the government
Natural growth is responsiblo in a
measure for the vast increase in the
expense of running Uncle Sam's
household. Twenty years ago. the
navy cost us each year about $30,000,
000; now it costs about $140,000,000.
The presidents of the United States
one after another always have urged
economy. It made no difference
whether it was Cleveland, Democrat,
?* av AfVia* nroci^ont PP.
publican, the plea for economy went
from the White House to Capitol hill
each year. In the past year perhaps
the saving admonition has been more
sharp and pointed than before, for ap
parently the president, with other
American citizens, has been some
what staggered by the mere sight of
the figures in the government's ex
pense account.
Taft Wants Just Debts Paid.
No president, however, no matter to
which party he has belonged, ever
has asked congress to refuse to au
thorize the payment of Uncle Sam's
just debts. President Taft has urged
economy constantly, but like other
presidents before him he this year has
urged strongly that congress do Jus
- " ?V - 1 *rn1M I
uce 10 uie persuus wuu uavo rawu
claims against the government and
who cannot get their money.
Uncle Sam has a court of claims.
The Judges are as hard worked as,
and perhaps harder worked than, any
of the other federal Jurists. They *re
obliged to pass judgment on the valid
ity of claims made against the United
States by private individuals. If the
courtfinds that the claims are just,
all it can do is to say so and to in
form congress that the United States
owes Kenry Nelson or Phillip Stuy
vesant such and such a sum of
money. Then Henry Nelson and Phil
lip Stuyvesant go to congress and ask
that the money which really belongs
to them sh&ll be paid, and congress
usually turns a deaf ear. Of course
claims are paid from time to time, but
many a man with a bill which the
courts have O. K'd waits many a long
year before he gets his money and
then he does not get all he deserves,
for no interest is allowed.
In his message to congress tnis year
President Taft urged the payment of
the just indebtedness of Uncle Sam.
He says this pointedly: "The delay
that occurs in the payment of the
money due under the claims injures
the reputation of the government as
an honest debtor, and I earnestly re
commend that these claims which
come to congress with the judgment
and approval of the court of claims
should be promptly paid."
Two Cavalry Leaders Die.
Recently two officers of high rank
on the retired list of the United States
army have died, one in this city, and
one in Virginia, just across the Poto
mac river. Major Generals Wesley
Merritt and Eugene A. Carr died on
the tame day. Both were cavalry
leaders and one of them, Merritt, died
within sight of a battlefield on which
he won fame and the stars of a major
general when he was only twenty-five
years of age.
Both Merritt and Carr were burled
a few days ago in the cadet cemetery
at West Point 011 the Hudson river,
where they lie close to another fam
ous cavalry leader, George A. Custer,
who was killed in a fight with the
Sioux Indians on the Little Rosebud
June 26. 1976. Custer, like Merritt,
was a major general of volunteers at
the age of twenty-five years.
Carr Famous Indian Fighter.
Eugene A. Carr, like Merritt, was
a West Pointer. . His rise was rapid
and he was one of the few officers of
the United States army who received
commissions by acts of congress be
cause of conspicuous personal gallan
try in the field.
Carr stayed in the regular service
at the close of the civil war and was
|ent to the plains to begin the untried
uuty of fighting Indians. Like Gen
eral Miles, Carr developed a remark
able plainsmen's sense. They won
perhaps even more fame as Indian
fighters than carne to them as fighters
against men of thier own color.

An experienced chauffeur, who was

that while heavy grades, short curves

they could all be overcome, and that

PLACE?Rehoboam's capital was at
Jerusalem. The Disruption occurred at
Shechem, which was the first capital of
the northern kingdom, and the metropolis
of Ephraim. It was 30 miles directly north
of Jerusalem, between Mounts Ebal and
Gerizim. Here were located Incidents In
the lives of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and
Joshua. Close by, doubtless as a part of
the larger town, were Jacob's well aad
Sychar where Jesus talked with the Sa
maritan woman. And there is now the
seat of the Samaritans, the smallest re
ligious sect In the world.
This lesson covers the story of Re
hoboam, and how he lost a kingdom.
It Is the story of a reckless, untrain
ed, conceited young man, and his com
ing into the real business of his life.
He was the heir to a throne, and his
name means "Enlarger of the people,"
expressing the hope of his father for
his son. The son disappointed these
hopes, and became the "Diminisher of
his people." Alas for such boys to
day!
His father was Solomon. His moth
er Naamah, a young heathen princess
of the kingdom of Ammon on the bor
der of the desert east of the Jordan.
She was one of many wives of Solo
mon.
Rehoboam seems to have been the
natural heir to the throne. Judah ac
"TitpH him Rut as in the case of
Saul, David and Solomon, at least in
Jerusalem, the people had a voice in
the selection of their king. Accord
ingly the tribes were summoned to
meet at the old northern capital, She
chem, to confirm the successor of Sol
omon. The northern tribes were de
termined to obtain a charter of rights
that would relieve them from their
burdens, as the price of their submis
sion. For Solomon had forced them
to give their unpaid labor upon hi8
great buildings, and these free and
independent Ephraimites were re
minded of their ancestors' slavery in
Egjpt. They were shrewd enough to
send for their brilliant sympathizer,
Jeroboam, whom Solomon had ban
ished to Egypt. They were ready to
enforce their just demands.
Rehoboam, apparently attended by
a small force goes to confer with
them. Jeroboam is their spokesman.
Rehoboam answered the people
roughly. One of the most foolish
things he could do. "Rough words do
one of two things, they wound or they
madden."
And Israel saw that the king heark
ened not ,Josephus says that "they
were struck by his words as by an
Iron rod." What portion have we
In David? What have we of the north
ern tribes to do with David's son, Re
hoboam, or David's tribe, Judah? To
your tents, 0 Israel. Back to your
homes and prepare for war.
Every young man has a kingdom In
his own soul. He may throw it away
?half of it or all of it, in the same
way Rehoboam did, foolishly follow
ing his headstrorg will. Or, he may
take the advice of wise men and the
Bible, and beco ne monarch of all
the royal possibilities God has placed
in his life. .
One's character, already formed,
is a powerful factor in all emergen
cies of choice and decision. There Is
no time to prepare a new character.
Rehoboam had formed the habit of
taking bad advice when it fitted his
inclination, and so he took it at his
life's crisis.,
On his return to Jerusalem Reho
boam assembled an army of 180,000
men to compel the seccding tribes to
return. But a prophet forbade the
movement in the name of the Lord.
Rehoboam's goodness was but the
early cloud and the morning dew. As
soon as he was firmly established, he
returned to his old ways, and "forsook

tion of his character and his king
dom was symbolized by the change
from the shields of gold which Solo
mon had made for his palace armory,
but which Shishak took away, and
which Reboboam replaced by shields
of brass.
This deterioration continued two
years, when God used another instru
mentality for making Rehoboam
good. In his fifth year Shishak, the
Pharaoh of Egypt, came up with
1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and
an uncounted number of common sol
diers. They captured the city of
Judah, devastated the country, and
carried away the treasures Solomon
had stored in the temple and in his
palace, and the golden shields in his
armory. Shishak left an inscription
on the walls of Karnak in Egypt giv
ing an account of this invasion. The
propbet Shemaiah interpreted the
meaning of this calamity; and king
and princes humbled themselves, con
fessed their sins, and promised to do
better.
The Lord therefore delivered them.
Rehoboam continued to reign; and
though his kingdom was not destroy
ed, yet it was far from what it might
have been, for "he did evil, because
he prepared not his heart to seek the
Lord."
God's principles are everlasting, but
the forms of their application vary
with every variation of circum
stance.
As patriots, what is there in our
country, that we wish to have go down
the ages as a blessing? and what Is
there that we should give our whole
soul to changing or blotting out?

VERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit to the Holy Land Even
a Skeptic Must Be Con
vinced.
One thing cannot fall to Impress
every vlBltor to Bethlehem, and, In
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
Is Imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper Bense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
wit 11 ine me ana worn ui tue quviuui
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them,
as furnished us in the pages of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them In every respect and It Is Im
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
Identity, so exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very arti
cles of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour. Be
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible of localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, etc.,
of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but bo con
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
it comes as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory corroboration or en
couragement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them bo long ago.?Columbian
