Vice President Shaman Hairing flood ' Senate Still Grinding on, Tariff v 4 1 1 - Washington, D. 0., June 7th. Noth i inf-' so well illustrates the esteem; in which President Taft is held by the whole country, regardless of section and party as the sentiments expressed by Mr. Henry Watterson In his Memo rial Day address. Mr. Watterson said: For the Whole People. "Today it is Lincoln's - example which moves a calm, enlightened and patriotic occupant of the Presidential office like himself a life-long Repub lican and a Bepublioan pa rtiaail1 to reach forth his arms as If te. clasp In their embrace the whole people, seek ing to win the oood opinion, yearning or the approval, of each and every ene of them. y C .. ' f 'v "Whether they give it in detail, or divide upon the incidental , issue of the time, they' wlU not withhold ft in the Aggregate; and, since - a vigorous opposition is. indispensable to good government, bis wise moderation1 and transparent integrity give us the prec ise of an opposition based upon prin- eiples-rather than notion, telfrwpect ing and respectful, upright, clean, and kind. i That Ww at Americana. ''From such partyism nothing is to be feared, because it leaves ns free, when dangers come, to forget that we art Republicans, or forget that we are Democrats, remembering only that we We Americans." . Few Mistakes. Without any desire to unduly em- pnasize we gooa juagmeni aispiayea by Mr. Taft thus far during his admin ' istration, it can be said that bis judi cial temperament and deliberate action will undoubtedly result ia fewer mis takes than haa been the lot of any President since Lincoln. . - ' : The vice prcciaent, too. . Not only is the President endearing 1 himself to all . the' - people, bat Vice- President Sherman, an well, seems to be growing more popular every ; day. There are various little acta which ap peal to the sentiment of the people unassuming and .unostentious in them selves, but ' which reach' the ' people through the newspapers. On Sunday, May 30th, Decoration . Day, Mr. and Mrsi.

Debate Ooes on. - 1 It begins to look s if Mr., Taft Is not going to -be able to leave the White House for his summer vacation . early as be had wished. The tariff debate goes on seemingly without end and very slow progress is being made.

Although the country is becom ing impatient at the delay, and It is estimated that million daily are being lost to the business interests of the country, yet it is omy rair to state 'that the progress of the bin is qujte as rapid as has been the ess 1 previous , tariff making. To be sure it is recog nised that the bm a ;repprted to the Senate will be passed substantially; as reported by a majority of from ten to twenty, no' matter how long the de bate or how earaest may be the so called progressive or insurgents, and yet after all it seems better that there j should be a fall diseassiaa npen- every item so .thai" there ean be no claim made after the-bill is passed that U -was rushed through without proper consideration.

Submit Statement to the Senate. Besponding to a resolution intro duced in the senate by Mr. Beveridge an exhaustive report made by the bu reau of corporations of information collected affecting the price of tobacco was sent to the senate Saturday by President Taft. , It is stated that the bureau has in preparation a complete report cov ering the subject of the price of to bacco and the operations of corpora tions the information for which was secured in accordance with the law creating the bureau. The more im portant material, showing in substance he results of the. investigation, is in cluded in a preliminary report. Commissioner Herbert Knox 8mith says that any consideration of the sub ject of the tobacco Industry during recent years is necessarily largely a consideration of the relation of the to bacco combination wbieh controls sub stantially three-fourths of the business ef manufacturing tobacco, other than cigars, in the United States. To show the existent of this business it is stated that the output of the independent concerns, excluding cigars, now amounts, to $35,000,000 per yesr. (According to the report the Amer ican Tobacco, company and othej com panies in the combination have given the bureau full and ready access to their books and records. From comments- made upon the manner of keep ing books, it appears that the bureau has had less valuable information con cerning the conduct of business by in dividual eoneerns.,, : Tables are included in. the report showing the remarkable increase of profits io.the concerns in the tobacco combination from 1890 to 1907 inclus ive. The .bureau says it is not pre pared at the present time to report in detail en, the subject of ' over-capitalisation, '.at lin cash value of the good will acquired from time to time by the combinations It is asserted however, that the value of good will, which means value of brands of goods man ufactured by eoneerns which : were swallowed 1 np by the combination, could not have exceeded - a compara tively "small fraction of the value 'as signed to it on the books of the com bination. x The ' only reason ' why the American Tobacco company,' in its early years, was able to earn liberal dividends on its entire capitalisation the report ears, lay in its monopoly iwer,':-!VS?;v Among the most interesting subjects taken up Is the amount Of tax paid by the companies in the tobacco combina tion to the' federal government in com parison with the profit made, v ' j' ' ', tm righting; : ' i A Salonki dlspateh to the Frankfur ter Zeitung yesterday says that a fight hut ing eleven hour has occurred on the Bulgo-Tnrkish. frontier between Bulgarlaa and Turkish frontier guards.

From the Asheville Citisen. Following the statement that the validity of Dr. C. A. Sehenek's lease of the fishing and hunting rights on the eighty thousand acres of Plsgsh forest had been repudiated by Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, earns the an nouncement yesterday to the effect that Dr. Sebenek bad resigned his po sition as head of the Biltmore forestry department, the resignation to taks effect November 1. Mr. Vanderbilt found that his agent had undertaken in his name to lease the eighty thousand aerea of the game preserves to Mr. H. F. Addleks, Jr., of this city for the sum of five thous and dollars a year providing in. It that Mr. Vanderbilt was to bear the ex pense of patrolling or' guarding the property and also that in ease he sold the property he should refund all rentals which had been paid by the lessee. He also learned that Mr. Ad diekes hsd associated with him in the formation of a club to use the pre serve. Mr. James A. Pugh snd other prominent Chicago men and that they readily secured a membership of severs! hundred men whose initiation fees and annual dues would readily produce yesrly total about ten times the rent' si paid to him. It was not to be expected that Mr, Vanderbilt should attach any criticism to Mr. Addleks or Mr, ; Pugh, since these gentlemen supposed ' and still insist that they were dealing with fully authorised agent and had ss s matter of fact simply accepted a eon treat tendered to them by Mr. Sehenek Mr. Vanderbilt brought Dr. Sehenek here from Germany about' fifteen years ago to take charge of bis forests as aa expert and to reforest an extensive area of wasted and washed land and the latter has had a free hand until now. He has always been regsraea ss one of the leading authorities on forestry of the country. POLITICIAN FOB JUDGE Governor Kltehln Rewards His Cam paign maaager.
