PRESIDENT TAFT AXD THE WOOL BILL. President Taft, It seems. Is being very well received in bleeding Kansas. Indeed, a fine reception In the various towns encountered In a swing around the circle Is a thing the President may reasonably expect before he leaves Washington. That is where Mr. Taft has the advantage of prospective com petitors. In the first place, a Cham ber of Commeroe of any town Is glad to entertain the President of the United States. It Is good business. And then there are the federal office holders, who never fall to understand what Is expected of them. What would President Taft think of the postmaster of a town where the faith ful failed to turn out In large num bers upon the occasion of his visit ? Moreover, one person may guess as well as another about the number of people in a good sized crowd and newspaper men who accompany the President, frequently in his private car, are proverbially kfrd In estimat ing that size of the crowds that greet the President, and in giving a line on the warmth of the reception. "I believe the. present woolen duties are too high," the President assured Progressive Kansas, "and Just as soon as I get adequate information I shall ; recommend their reduction." In that we believe President Taft Is dlsingenious, as Jonathan Bourn raid of the President's explanation of hln Arisona bill veto. The President felt Impelled to apologize for Schedule K, that relating to wool and woolen man ufacture.', when he signed the Payne Aldrich bill, and upon numerous oeca slons since that time he has been equally emphatic In his condemnation of that admittedly defenceless sched ule. All things being even the Presi dent should therefore have welcomed , the first opportunity to aid in a revis ion of the wool schedule downward. It should be aim. be borne In mind 'that the framera of the wool bill pre 'sented to the President for his signs . ture did not run amuck. Far from it There was simply a reasonable re- . ductlon of duties that did not greatly . alarm the sheep raisers of the west, because, as was cheerfully admitted by the Democratic proponents of the measure, the incidental protection contemplated was needed by the treasury. As a protectionist, who is trying to be consistent, we believe, Mr. Taft could have signed the measure. In point of fact, there was so much tariff . protection proposed, such s , large tariff tax, that great offense was given to adherents of the Mills doc trine of free raw materials, but rrlends of the bill Its Democratic friends replied that free wool would mean a loss of twenty million dollars annually to " ..he treasury, so Demo crats, determined not to drive away two or three Btates In ths central West which wilt be needed in 1112, and in which the wool Industry is very Important, sent to the President a bill to which he could have very attached his signature as a Republican. We hardly think, therefore, thM It was lack of Information that led the President to withhold his signature from the wool bill. For obvious rea sons the President did hot care to nter upon a general scheme of tariff rex-talon with a Democratic house, snd n' ne too certain , Snnote on his hands. We boileve It would be Just well fur the President, politically ml in every other Way, If he frankly would aHslKn this as reason fur his o.iirse, and let It t 'JH that. T; I'ltrv rotors woitis i si i v ( . h in- e r. 1 1 1 u ! !. th , Dominion, of Canada must' be almost Irresistible. He has beer working overtime for , month trying; to con vince a hard-headed electorate that he was not giving the Dominion some thing for nothing. And" at. lust the Cunadlans, more wary than the Tro jans of old, had that shocking bad taste to look a gift horse In the mouth. ' What they saw caused them to rush behind' their tariff wall cry ing, "Contlnentallsm! Annexation! Treason!" , ; : .. ' The Canadian ' result impresses anew that well-worn' political axiom that passion and prejudice and sentir ment will decide issues as against mere logic or even self-interest , A large body of Americans has held the belief that "Our Lady of the Snows" was getting the best of the reciproc ity bargain, and Premier Laurier en deavored so to convince the elector ate he has led and guided for 1 ears; all without avail once jealousy of the United States was aroused and fear of this country's sinister designs became pronounced. Statements have been made that a gigantic corruption fund and Intimidation of voters In fluenced the overturn, but undoubt edly distrust of the Wsshlngton gov ernment's designs and solicitude for the mother country were mainly re sponsible. In the bitterness of disappointment, President Taft exclaimed that he was no politlclnl, but thought his cherish ed policy for the best. And his. In deed, was the breath which blighted his hopes. Speaker Champ Clark's ill advised speech was used with great effect, but even more disastrous, per haps, was the candor of the President, who urged thut the measure prevail before Great Britain could wean the dominion from the scheme by colonial trade concessions. The dominion's op position papers used this utterance with telling effect one of the leading organs referring to the pact "as the ovenent of treason our ministers con cluded with the President of the I'nlted States" JrDC.E GKOSKCrP'S VIEW. Perish the thought that the Supreme court of these United States has not charted the course which our mam moth craft if finance must sail, that the Charybdls of ruthless monopoly may be avoided on one hand and the Scj'lla of socialism on the other. Ex cept by the Judicial minds which con curred in the recent epock-maklns findings, however, the opinions seem to be viewed from as many angles as there are mental attitudes. Hear President Taft, in one of his recent speeches on the Standard Oil and American Tobacco company de cisions; ' I "We did got .along with competi tion; we can got along with It. We did get biong without monopoly; we can get along without it; and the business men of this country must square themselves to that necessity." To this conclusion has the president come and so has the court in sub stance found, he thinks. But this is the way another Jurist of long training and great experience, Circuit J udge Peter a Grosscup, Inter prets the decision, as quoted recently: The paramount benefit of this latest decision, to my mind. Is that It will bring the public mind to discern that we are in a new age In which combi nations and monopolies even are eco nomlc necessities, and that being here as the necessary economic equipment of the times, the thing to do with them is not to train guns on them as if they ought not to be here at all but to so safeguard them as forms of Investment and so limit them in divi dends allowed to be paid (their rlicht of natural persons) that they will have no motive to deal otherwise than fairly with the people and will become also, as property Investments, repre sentative of the people. Judge Grosscup evidently regards any effort to revive real competition as futile and foresees even larger ag gregations of capital operating under direct and positive governmental su pervision. . A woman sought a divorce after finding a widower she married had ten young children .when he had as sured, her he had only three. Thi looks like ample cause for divorce and possibly good ground for a ver diet of Justifiable homlolde. ' , MRS. MARY P. GOODRICH Widow of Rev. William II.

Sept. 26.- In the presence of a large crowd of people who had assembled here for court. Dr. J. T.-Petit, a physician of Roseland, this county, was shot and instantly killed by Benjamin Hubbard .yester day. - Hubbard was Immediately ar rested and placed in jail to await a hearing. An ancient grudge is said to have been responsible for the tragedy. The shooting took place on one of the principal streets of the town, In front of a hotel. Dr. Petit was walk ing toward the building where Hurb bard was sitting on the porch. As he came nearer Hubbard arose and without speaking a word, according to witnesses of the crime, drew his revolver and fired five shots at the physician. Each of the shots took effect in Petit's head and he sank to the ground. Bystanders ran to his assistance but when they reached him he was dead. Others took Hubbard n custody. . There was no quarrel at the time of the shooting, and as far as is known there had been no recent altercation between them. It Is reported that Hubbard shot Petit because of a grudge which he had harbored a long time. It seems Hubbard's father at one time had called Dr. Petit to ut- end a member of the family against benjamin Hubbard's wishes. Hubbard was taken to the Lynch burg city Jail for safekeeping. Six deputies accompanied him in the cross-country drive to Shipman, and wo went to Lynchburg with him. A coroner's Inquest at Lovlngstone fixed the crime upon Hubbard and Imme diately Judge B. T. Gordon summoned special grand Jury and in less than three hours after the crime Hubbard had been indicted. Hubbard refuses to discuss the shooting, but It is alleged that the trouble was due to Dr. Petit being called to attend his wife by Hubbard's father, 1$ months ago. He is said to have vowed then that he would kill the physician. GRAND OPERA HOUSE OPENS SUCCESSFULLY The Grnnd Opera house had a most auspicious opening last night as a vaudeville house and under the able management of S. A. Lynch It prom ises to be one of the loading atractions in the city. The bill last night, which will remain for the first part of this week, is a feature one from beginning in end and was applauded at the two performances by packed houses. At the first performance the crowd was so large that some were forced tu stand. The bill was headed by an all round musician and comedian. who delighted the audiences with some excellent selections on tne violin cello, tlmpenay, German flute and trombone; Besides the musical selec tions his Dutch comedy was simply great and the applause he received spoke well for his act The big feature, however, was the mind reading of Madame Ellis. She would alt on the stags blindfolded and Mr. Ellis would go through the audi ence and take questions from any who wished to ask them and either call them out to her and have them an swered, or she would first tell what the question was and then answer it She would also describe visiting cards. jewelry, or anything else thut was offered, and would tell the time regis tered by any watch at the moment It was Inspected. It was simply a mar velous performance ana she made no mistakes. The audience was much impressed and Madame Ellis was put to all kinds of tests but was unshaken by any of them. The music was furnished by a four- piece orchestra and alone was worth the popular price of admission. This will be a permanent feature and the high class of motion pictures shown were of the best that can be secured. Mr. Steele sang "That's My Gal" be tween t4 acts and the whole show was one that furnished an excellent form of entertainment of a cleim wholesome nature.
