s S | 1 THE BEM VOLUME 8. NUMBER 93. FOURTEEN SUBJEGTS ON TAFTS' NEXT MESSAGE President Makes Public Intentions in General Way—Details Not Yet Settled. Beverly, Mass, August 5.—It was learned yesterday that President Taft’s message to the coming session of congress will cover fourteen principal subjects. How each of these will be treated has not been settled in detail, but in a general way the president had made up his mind on most of them. The subjects are: Conservation. Recommendations will be constructive and progressive, but within the law. Economy in government. A com- mission is investigating to find some way of larger saving without touch- ing army and navy appropriations. The railroad stocks and bond commission, though not yet ap- pointed, may report in time to get into the message. As Mr. Aldrich has announced his intention of retiring March 3 next, it is expected that he will sub- mit the report of the monetary com- mission and that the president will base recommendations on it. Reform is federal, civil and criminal court practices. Ship subsidy or the subsidizing of mail carrying steamers. An act fixing employers’ liability and supervising employees’ com- pensation will be urged. A centralized bureau of health will be advocated. A new form of government for Alaska. The previous recommendation that injunctions do not issue without hearing except in emergencies and that in all cases hearing be held at the earliest possible date will be re- pealed. . An appropriation to carry out the postal savings bank law will be asked. Two battleships will be urged. It is probable that the president will ask an appropriation to fortify the Panama canal. Probaby a part of the report of the tariff board will be submitted. No change wlll be recommended in the Sherman anti-trust act until the supreme court decision in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases have tested the strength or weakness of the present iaw. Itis not likely that inheritance or income tax will be mentioned. The administration wishes to give the corporation tax a fair trial. COLORED POST GARDS FREE Not Cheap Trash, bnt 10 Beautiful Ones.

Judge Wright has handed down his decision in the case of Nelson and Gustafson vs the vill- age of Blackduck and it is in favor of the defendauts. The plaintiffs had their license revoked by the village council and brought the action to recover the unearned part of the licence fee, The case was tried before a jury yesterday morning, Ben T. Wil- son and Chester Mc Kusick as at- torneys for the defence and at the conclusion of the testimony, the court directed a verdict for the plaintiffs. The defendant then made a motion for judgement not- withstanding the verdict and ]udge EDDY BELIEVES JOHN LIND WILL NOT AGGEPT Says Nominee Told Him he Would Re- fuse—Day Complicates . Situation. Frank M. Eddy, former member of Congress and at present one of the state democratic ‘leaders, is in the city today on his way north to visit a nephew. His home is in Sauk Center and he came up on the Great Northern last night, Mr. Eddy has for many years been in close tcuch with John Lind and talked wilh him before the state democratic convention which nominated himfor governor, At that time, Mr. Lind said he did not want the nomination and would not accept it. Mr. Eddy says that he does not believe that Lind will accept but hopes that he will, *‘About, six months before the con- vention”, said Mr. Eddy today, “Jobn Lind and I ate dinner with several .others and the subject was brought up. He said at the time that he did not want the nomination and would not acceptit. I have known him for a good many years and I do not believe that he will.” When asked about the possibility of another state convention, he said, “It is doubtful if there will be an- other state convention. It would hardly be possible to get out all the delegates again. There is nothing in the state law which makes another convention possible, but if all demo- crats wanted one, I suppose it could be arranged. The law says that the state central committee has the power to fill any vacancy, and I pre- sume they will name another man if Lind does not run.” 3 -Mr. Eddy thought that that the statement made to the Twin City Wright granted the motion. The case may be appealed. On the Dairy Cow. The dairy cow, if able to express herself in a way which the human family would comprehend; might well lay claim to being man’s best friend. She might establish such a claim by calling attention to the fact that from her product and from her carcass man manufactures more of necessities of life from any other similar source. She furnishes these necessities to him from infancy until such atime as temporal things are no 'longer associated with his existance, and she does it ungrudingly and con- stantly. In addition to contributing to man’s necessity and his pleasure, the prosperity of an agricultural community is more closely indenti- fied with her than with any other of the domestic animals, The horse is quite essential in tilling the soil, but where necessity requires it the sturdy son of the cow can take his place, as he has done in every agri- cultural section on earth. The horse can only furnish labor and can only return a profit to his owner when couditions are right for return- ing satisfactory grain crops. Itisa well known fact that the dairy cow is the salvation of the farmer times of poor crops as she is able to convert the rough crops which are never a total failure, into dairy pro- ducts which always have a cash value. In addition to this she furnishes skim milk and butter milk for the calves, pigs and poultry,and fertility for the soil, without which a farm becomes less valuable each year and the whole country less prosperous. The elimination of the dairy cow would necessitate an almost revo- lutionary readjustment of man’s tastes and requirements. It would mean untold suftering and hard- ship. Of course, she will not be dispensed with but her value can perhaps best be appreciated by contemplating such a loss. She will continue to be man’s best friend as long as the human family exhists and will "keep on supplying him with his greatest needs just as she has done through all the ages. ~ press by Frank Day last night com- plicated the situation, but he did not doubt that Day knew about what he was talking. Mr. Day said that he had positive information from John Lind that he never stated to any one that he would not qualify if elected. It is possible that a dele- gation may be sent to Seattle to WEATHER ' TODAY. (Temperature Thursdyy . Friday A M. | 7 | 58 8 | 60 9 ] 63 10 } 64 11 | 66 12 68 P.

PROGRESSIVES KILL REGULAR PLATFOR Insurgents Dominate lowa Re- publican Convention, Des Moines, Aug. 5.—Upon the most progressive platform adopted in any state, a platform endorsing President Taft only for good intentions and lauding Senators Dolliver and Cum- mins for their fight in securing changes in the railroad and postal savings bank bills, the Towa insurgents dominated the state convention, - The insurgent majority rejected the minority report of the committee’on resolutions, read by former Congress- man W. P. Hepburn, which lauded Taft and the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, but refused to remove from the state central committee the five standpat members, as some of the militant in- surgents wished. There was a dramatic scene in the convention hall when the two reports from the resolutions committee were read.. George M. Curtis presenteéd the majority report, which the insurgents cheered while the standpat element remained silent. When Colonel Hepburn read his_mi- nority report endorsing Taft 'the younger element thought it was hu- morus and waves of laughter swept the convention and Chairman Dolliver was ‘unable to keep order. The insurgent platform was adopt- ed by a majority of 244. A. M. Doce of Hancock county was nominated state superintendent - on the second ballot. Judges Davis and Deener were renominated by acclama- tion for the supreme bench. Lake Captain Is Killed.
