Signs point to a radical change Id the administration of President Taft, and the indications are that thia will take place in the, near future. . The surprise is not that these changes are to come, bat that they ware not made Ion,? ago. Mr. Taft entered office under the happiest auspices. He was handicapped to some extent by immediately succeeding so popular and forceful an executive as Mr. Roosevelt, but he was immensely aided by having the cordial support ni his predecessor andinheriting a portion of .Mr. Roosevelt's popular! ty. "His Cabinet was made up large ly of men unknown to the general public. Mr. Knox bad rendered able service as Attorney-General and Senator; Mr. Meyer had been a fair ly successful Postmaster-General and before that an Ambassador, while Frank fl. Hithcock was known as a shrewd but not over-scrupulous pol itician. But Mr. Ballinger, Mr. Wickersbam, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Nagel were com paratively unknown men. After a year in office Mr. Ballinger and one or two other members of the Cabinet are only too well known to the coun try.; ... . : ' The policy of the new Secretary, oi the Interior in reversing at once the policies of Roosevelt and Garfield created a bad impression at the start.

OWES- HER : LIFE TO ft t N Hoarse ce of the "old guard" who had been under the ban during the Roosevelt regime caused a feeling of uneasiness and when in the tariff revision the President frankly allied himself with Aldrich, Cannon, Payne, Dalzell and the old group of " high protectionists there was a distinct revulsion of feel Ing that Mr. Taft has not yet been able to- overcome. The president's open defense of the . new tariff law, which was universally recognized as by no means the "revision down ward" that the Republican party promised; his praise of Aldrich, who in the public mind impersonates the powerful financial interests; his sup port of Speaker Cannon in the House all combined to give the impression that be had gone over to the "reac tionaries," horse, foot and dragoons. The exposure of Mr. Ballinger's re lations with the Guggenheim syndi cate and the men who are exploiting Alaska and the use of all the power of the Administration to shMl him, the discharge bfLPinchot and Glavii and the deception to., which - the Attorney-General resorted in his efforts to defend Ballinger form a disastrous chapter. , Mr. Taft' s own honesty and sin cerity are generally recognized; there is a very firm belief in his good in tentions. But his failure to combat the interests which have used him for their own purposes and his fail ure to throw off such an incubus as Ballinger have given a distinct , im pression of weakness and indacision. At last there are signs that he has determined to take the action that was imperative months ago.' Re ports from Beverly and Washingtoa state that within the next month Ballinger is to resign from the Cab inet Recognizing the strong, feeling against Aldrich, Mr. Taft evidently welcomes his retirement from the Sen ate. The anti-Cannon movement at last has made an impression on him, and the Speaker is to . be eliminated as a factor in legislation. The riga of Postmaster-General Hitchcock as political boss of the Administration, report says, is no longer to be abso lute. He will divide-responsibility and power with the astute Senator W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, who becomes Mr. Taft's close politi cal adviser. " ' These changes have been forced upon the President by the popular revolt against Cannon and Aldrich as leaders and the - inH' tir . ncraioa the retention of Ballinger in the Cab inet. We are in the midst of an im portant campaign for the House of Representatives. If the Republicans lose the House, Mr. Taft cau hardly recover the ground lost and make his administration a success. The sharp and continuous attacks of the Insur gents have had their effect. Mr. Taft probably realizes at last his mistake in arraying his administra tion against the progressive element of his party. The question now is whether his change in policy will come in lime to save bis party from defeat. Con fidence once impaired is not to be speedily regained.

Morven N. C. THE MINORITY .REPORT. Tariff, Tra.ts and Increased ;Mnc- . Supply Case High Tariff. Washington, Aug. 15. Thetariffe, trusts, combines and'monopolies, and an increased money supply, are the three substantial causes for the ad vance in prices in the United States, according to Senators Johnston of Alabama, Clarke of Arkansas, and Smith of South Carolina, minority members of the select Senate ..com mittee, appointed during the last ses sion of Congress to investigate and make a report cn wages and the prices of commoditi. s. Vigorous attack is made in the minority members' report on almost all the reasons given by the majority in its report, submitted some time ago, as to the cause for the advance in prices. "We are without sufficient data," say the minority members In their report just completed, "to apportion the degree oi responsibility .between these three causes, but that the two first are the chief malefactors we have no doubt; and they are of our own creation or permission." After attacking, one at a time, the fifteen principal causes contributing, according to the majority report to the high cost of livitg, the minority took up the tariff, declaring that when the Payne-Aldrich bill was framed, "champaigne wasiputon the schedules at from 54 to G6 per cent, whilst wearing apparel was taxed from 80 to 92-per cent drinking champagne was to be encouraged and wearing woolen clothes discouraged. "So with hats," they add, "those bringing not over $1.50 per dozen were taxed 77 per cent and those valued at more than $13 per dozen 47 per cent." The result of protection, they de clare, in "great fortunes for the few and great suffering for the many. We believe," they say, "that the amount of the tariff is added to the price and taxed to the consumer; that but for the tariff the commodities we buy upon which that tax is laid would be cheaper, approximately to the extent of the tariff; and that when we do cot buy the imported article the protected manufacturer puta approximately the amount of it on the goods produced by him." Wonld-Be Whisker Buyers Fleeced Rutberfordtoa Fun. Two thrifty white men, unknown to the public, appeared at the South ern depot Saturday afternoon last and began taking orders for what they claimed to be first "class block ade whiskey, and a large number of the colored population, with a sprink ling of the whites, naturally became interested in the - proposed deal. In working up the orders for the whis key they solicited and got help from a number of coiored men and one white man. They claimed that the whiskey was in the woods close by, and that they would meet at a desig nated spot at night and deliver to the would-be buyers whatever amount they bad agreed upon. Night having approached, they met in the woods, and while one of the fellows went to get the measuring , vessels and the whiskey, the other man told the thirsty ones that they had better "come acrods" with the cash to. pay for the "sowpaw," and they all com plied with the request. In the mean time the man that went after the whiskey and measuring vessels call called to the other to come and help him find the whiskey and vessels, that it was dark and becould not fiod them. They all went out to where they had heard the voice, but failed to fiod anyone. The man that re ceived the cash began to bunt the liquor, but failing to find it, turned around, pulled out his pistol and be gan shooting in the direction of bis ollowers. And it goes without say ing that it bad the desired effect; the whole gang simply burned the wind getting away, leaving the man with $10 cash and the crowd as dry as a desert. Among the victims of the two men were Rev. Henry Kelly, Garland Miller, John Mitchei, col ored; and Wrill Potter and Wash Moore, white. " Two white men, we are informed, also played the same trick at Eilen boro last week, obtaining about $20 or more.

The exposure of the gambling den in a fashionable club at Karragaoaet Pier is another illustration of the truth of the saying of the good Dr. Watts, that "Satan finds tome mis chief still for idle bacds to do." The curse of the ultra-fashionable rich people of this land Is idlenel. The young men and women of this set have nothing serious to think about. They are spenders. .They spend the money their fathers have left them without' taking any thought as to whether it i3 well spent. And what is more serious, they are spending their lives and getting nothing in re turn that is worth getting. Pleasures pall upon them and they are ever seeking something new something that will give them a new sensation. All their pleasures are oi the material kind. Intellectual pleasures, the only ones that are real and abiding, are beyond them. In a quest for ex citement which will serve to kill time time that will shortly kill them gambling is most alluring and dangerous, and it appears that it at tracts into its fatal infatuation the fashionable woman as well as the idle men. The forefathers of the men and women who were found in the Narragansett gamblsng place last Sunday were doubtless sober and God fearing people, who went to church on Sundays and worked during the week to accumulate the wealth that their children are misusing. Fortunately the namber of these people whose "imagination are dark ened" is comparatively small and their power for evil is limited be cause af their 1-tck of influence. It cannot be don b ted that the great body of the American peopla love rightous nesa and respect those who do that which is right. The first step toward the reform of the "smart set" is to find employment for them. As long as they are idle satan will provide them mischief. Dr. Watt had a rather keen insight into human nature.

In the last few months, the atten tion of the public has been directed with considerable interest toward the use of cottonseed meal as a human food. The interest In this matter is wide spread, covering the entire country. I recently had the honor of presenting a paper before the Tex as Cottonseed Crushers' Association, and what impressed me most there was not so much the interest display ed, or the exhibits of cottonseed food products, bat the fact that so many of these men were using, and had been using cottonseed meal as a por tion of their own diet, and that of their families. I believe that there are hundreds of people in this coun try who are now eating cottonseed meal. There are not only men di rectly Interested in the industry, but also men in no wise connected with it. Another thing impressed me, and that was the statement by two or three users, that the children were very fond of cottonseed breads. Consideration of the chemical com position of cottonseed meal Bhows u.s the part it should play in human nutrition. There are two great groups of nutrients in food. One group pro vides the material for the building and repair of muscle, blood, tissue, and the organs of the animal body. They are known as proteids, and may be considered structual material. The other group cf nutritives pro vides the energy which runs the ani mal organs. It furnishes heat and power, fats, carbohydrates, etc., be long to this group. Now, the human body requires a certain amount for power every day. A growing ania al requires more for proteids than one which is entirely grown, because It must not onlj re pair its waste, but it must also grow. Now, cottonseed meal Is richer in proteids, but poor in carbohydrates. It does not belong in the same class with ordinary flour, and must not be eaten in the same way. It belongs with meat. But cottonseed meal is richer than meat. A mixture of equal parts cottonseed meal and flour has the two groups of nutrients in about the same proporation as ordi nary beef, and might be called vege table meat UottoDSeed raEai, therefore, should not take the place cf flour or corn I meal or similar foods in your diet, but it should take the place of meat, or supplement a diet poor in pro teids. It is more valuable than flour. Cottonseed meal is a rich food, and too much should not be eaten. For this reason, I would advise that it always be used in with flour or corn meal, with at least three parts of flour or meal to one part "cottonseed meal. Some of you may be afraid of cot tonseed meal because it has been known to injure hogs. But there are people who have been using cotton seed meal for months, and state that they have never been able to detect any injurious effect. On the other hand, a person told me that the use ofcottonsesd meal restored him to health. sOf course a rich food, like cottonseed meal, or fruit cake, if eat en in excess, may make any one 6ick. There are also personal pecu liarities concerning foods. Some people cannot drink milk, some can not eat eggs, some are injured by this or that, which are harmless to or dinary folks. I eannot go Into full details con cerning this matter in the limited time assigned to me. It there are any specific poiDts on which you de sire more information, I will en deavor to answer to questions as far as I can. The Texas Experiment Station has i?sued a bulletin on this subject, which can be secured free of charge by anyone that desires it. In conclusion let me say that the use of cottonseed meal as a human food is not a fad, of a freak, or a matter of interest for a day. There is a place for it as a human food, and it wi 1 find its place in the time to come. The years may be few, the years may be many, but we may look forward to the uae of cottonseed meal as a human fjod in the time to come. The experience of years must decide exactly what part cottonseed meal shall pUy in human nutrition, but it will find its pUce.
