IN OUR ~ 4 President Taft seems to have chang- ; ed front on the message he was to e t bring the people of the weston the Women’s Clothing Departmen tariff question. It was first announc- | ed that he would tell the people if OF they wanted relief from tariff bur- dens they must elect their representa- | tives with that end in view. But that was before the President had his now historic interview with Speaker Can- non, in which Uncle Joe pointed out, without mincing words, that Mr. Taft had signed the bill, had been respon- | sible for its passage by whipping} some of the insurgents into line, and | that a repudiation of the Payne-Ald- rich bill was a repudiation of his own administration, or words to that ef- | fect. Anyhow the President affixed | his official approval of the Payne bill in a speech in Minnesota, which out- this line—and would be glad to have you come and see them, whether you inten Aldriched Aldrich in his praise of that measure.

Dear Sir:—Kindly permit me space in the columns of The Times to ex- press my feeling with reference to the suggestion by. some of your cor- respondents that I become a candi- date for the nomination for Congress in the 6th District. During the past few weeks I have received a number of letters from farmers of the district urging me to make the race and promising me their support. I have also been urged personally by a num- ber of my friends who seem to feel very sanguine of my ability to carry the district for the nomination. I am not unmindful of the great honor it is to be even mentioned in connection not secured a new Course of Study and could not do so well. Miss Rosalie Wix, of Hazel Dell School in Hudson, township, Miss Stella Ritchey, of Elm Grove in Deep Water, Miss Mattie Harshaw, of Cherry Grove in Deep Water and Miss Lula Beaman, of Johnstown, had taught only two days each and had not had time to organize their work. : Miss Beaman, of Shelton in Spruce, Mr. Jesse Umstaltd, of Fair Play and Hayland Rogers, of Valley in Deep and are doing excellent work. ‘i Mr. W.
