Baltimore, Md., May 4. President Taft in his speech at the 'opening of the third national , peace conference here yesterday afternoon 'declared that the United States would keep hands oft and not seek to extend its domain or to acquire, foreign territory.' The president made no mention specifically of Mexico, but to those who heard him Jt was evident that the situation there, and the suspension in the South Amor- thfo itntinn In vcaa Ti trt Ita ftnllthem neighbor, had inspired him.

We have had wars and we know what they are. We know what responsibilities they entail, the burdens and losses and horrors, , and we would havn none of them. We have a magnificent domain of our own in which we are attempting to work out and show to the world success In popular government, and we need no more territory In Which to show that. But we have attained great prosperity and great power. We have become a powerful member of the community of nations in which we live, and there Is therefore thrust upon us necessarily n care and responsibility for the peace of the world in our neighborhood ani : a burden of helping those nations that cannot help themselves, if, we may do The president spoke to several thou- dlnat Gibbons, Secretary of War Dick inson, Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, and Andrew Carnegie and more than a dozen men prominent in the move ment for world peace sat on the plat form with the president. Cardinal Gibbons and Hamilton Holt, president of the conference, who spoke before the president, voiced the opinion that the successful negotiation of the pro. posed arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain would mark the greatest step toward unlver- , sal peace that the world has ever seen "An arbitration treaty between two great nations of the world," said the president, "would be & very Important step In securing the peace of the world. If such an arbitration treaty can be concluded I have no doubt that an Important step will have been tak en, but it will not bring an end of war. It is a step only; and we must not defeat our purposes by enlarging the expectation of the world as to what is to happen and by then disap- pointing it.

LL Steel, Sugar and Tobacco Companies Placed on Program in Demo cratic House. Washington, May 4. The investi gating trend of congress took a wide range yesterday, for Inquiries into the affairs of the United States Steel corporation, the American Sugar Re fining company and the American To bacco company were placed on the program of the democratic house. The big shoe .industry Interests were under fire, and a senate committee on expenses opened the way for a de cision as to a re-lnvestlgation of the charges against Senator Lorimer of Illinois. Resolutions directing that special committees probe the records to determine whether any of the first three named big corporations Involv ed are operating in violation of the anti-trust interstate commerce or na tional banking laws,, have ' been started on the legislative ways. The steel trust resolution, the creation of Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, was approved, today by the house committee on rules and will be re ported to the house tomorrow. Representative ardwlck, of Geor gia, Is author of the resolution pro viding for the inquiry into the Amer ican Sugar company and this will be considered by the rules tomorrow. If the committee has time it may also consider a similar resolution submit ted by Representative Francis of Ohio directing that a special commit tee of Ave be named to inquire Into the American Woolen company, of Bos ton.

Rep resentative Weeks on the floor of the house was praising the concern which owns all the patents on and controls all the shoe machinery In the United States. He declared that because the United States Machine company -refuses to sell any machine outright, only leasing It to the manufacturer, the latter is enabled to engage In business with less capital and that the tendency of th method was to .In crease manufacturers. ' The manufacturers declared that that trust operates on a different ba sis with foreign manufacturers from what it does with those In this coun try, for one thing "-allowing those abroad to use some of their own ma chinery. Mr. Weeks on the other hand said: ' "The United Shoe Machine company leases its machine abroad exactly as It is leased In this country and at th same rate. . Senator Bailey told the manufactur ers that in his opinion their contract with' th trust could be proved, Ille gal, that" In spits of the shoe ma chine company' patent rights, he thought their action -could be con strued as an effort to restrain trade, and he declared that the attorney general might make some trouble for th trust after he had learned of the statements at today's hesrlngs.

The Bowels, like Other ' Muscles, Grow Less Active With Age They Need Help. Most old people must 'give to the bowels some "regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi tion Is perfectly natural. It is Just as natural as it Is for old people to walk slowly. For age Is never so active as youth. The muscles ' are less elastic , And the ' bowels are muscles. . ; : ;. So all old people need Cascarets. And most of them need them daily. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. - ' The bowels must be kept active. This Is Important at all ages, but never so much as at sixty. . Age Is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels Into activity. But a lash can't be used every day, . What the bowels of the. old need Is a gentle and nat ural tonic. One that can be con stantly vsed- without harm. And there Is no matter of choice here. The only such tonic is Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box. LARGE CROPS TO BE PLANTED (Continued from page 1) offering stocks and bonds' In com pa nies which are "fakes."
