Briggs was in the cowshed milking

Special to the Enterprise.
Washington, .Ian. 16.— President
Taft has just taken an action tint is
wortli hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to the paper trust, by refus-
ing to remove the tax from print
paper and wood pulp.
When the reciprocity bill was pas-
sed a provision was tucked to It pro-
viding for the free admis-ion of print
paper and wood pulp from Canada.
This provision became law whether
the reciprocity net was agreed to by
Canada or not There'ore, although
reciprocity failed, print paper and
wood pulp are now admitted free
from Canada.
As soon as this orovision became,
law live nations which ship paper to
America, and which have treaties
with this country in which we agree
to extend to them the fame conces
sions that we extend to ' the most
favored nation," demanded their
treaty-guaranteed right to also send
print paper and wool pulp into the
United States free of duty.
"Since you have given a particular
concession to Canada, you must, un-
der our treaties, extend the same
concession to us," deula ed tb • par.er
producing countries of Sweden, No-
way, Denmark, Germany and Aus-
tria Hungary. Obviojsly, this argu-
ment is unanswerable.
However, the President has an-
nounced, throngh the Treasury de-
partment, that a tax will be collect-
ed as heretofore on all print piper
imported from any other country than
Canada. The President advise* the
Europeon nations to appeal to the
Customs Court of Appeals, which, it
is declared, is only a subterfuge
President Taft has declared he is
willing to concede the justice of de-
mands for cheaper paper, but when
the opportunity offers, his acts refute
his words, and show that he is willing
to violate treaties with live friendly
nations rather than to give even the
slightest concessions to freer trade
The tariff on print paper is to all
practical ends a tax on intelligence
bacanse in this day and age the great
mass of people receive their educa-
tion on public questions through tlie
newspapers. With print paper pract-
ically controlled by a trust, the price
has been systematically boosted, so as
to work a hardship on the prosperous
publishers, and to make print paper
high on to prohibitive to many of the
small country publishers whose earn-
ings are not any too great at best
Meanwhile there is pending a bill
introduced by Senator Heyburn,
which proposes to repeal the Cana-
dian reciprocity act. Having been
rejected by Canada, the law is dead j print paper has been repealed, 81 in
GOV. WILSON CHOICE OF THE POLITICIANS TRICK
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMEN! THE GREAT MASSES
Thirty-two of The Fifty-two With a Primary The People
Rev. Taft and Family go to Neb.
Rev. G. W. Taft and family left
Tuesday afternoon, for new field of
labors at Hastings, Nebraska. Nor-
man citizens without regard to church
preferences, very much regret to
loso this family and their influence,
in this city, but congratulate the
citizens of Hastings on their good
fortune in securing family as res -
dents und workers in their city.
Rev Tuft spent 18 months as past-
or of the Firr-t Baptist church in this
city, and during that time, through
bis untiring efforts, aroused such an
Interest in that congregation as never
shown before, and the church seemed
to take on new life and vigor and its
membership increased rapidly in
numbers and the church in influence
in the city and community Rev.
Taft is a fine shepherd of a flock and
an able and plain spok-n man in the
pulpit or on tbe street mingling with

Echoes from the Big Democratic
lackson Day Banquet.
The big Democratic Jackson Day
harmony banquet was a torecast of a
splendid Democratic triumph in the
presidental election this fall. Demo-
crats from all over the nation came
optimistic and left enthusiastic. The
banquet was a melting pot into which
presidential preferences from all ov r
the nation were cast and out of which
tbe future was forcast. The occasion
was a red letter day for Col. Bryan
and Gov. Wilson. The impression
that Wilson was Bryan's choice was
confirmed. Since leaving the capital
Col. Bryan issued an interview in
Philadelphia in which he stated that
the Democracy needs a progressive
candidate and that Wilson is the most
progressive candidate. Thirty-two of
the fifty-two National Committeemen
are friendly to the New .Jersey Gov-
ernor. It was the friends of the
Jersey uian who gaye the convention
to Baltimore in order to have this
g eat assemblage ot Democrats in
the vicinity of New Jersey where the
gallleries will ha filled with Governor's
, duiirers. It was the field against
Wilson.
The following are some of the press
comments upon the Democratic .lack-
son Day Banquet;
"After Gov. Wilson's speech at the
dinner he received t.o end of congratu-
lations and had a ten minute talk
with Col. Bryan. The other dinners
who witnessed this ceremony were
impressed by the fact" that the Ne-
braska Colonel and the New Jerse
Will Vote Their Choice.
It Looks Like Wilson
Kor time out of memory almost the
politicians in this country have been
able to trick the people in the Nation-
al conventions. Not since the nomi-
nation of Lincoln has a National con-
vention of the two leading parties
voiced in the nominees ot the con-
vention other than the wish and de-
sire of the politicians. This was true
even in the conventions that nomi-
nated W. .1. Bryan although Mr. Bry-
an was never, save possibly in 18H6,
the politicians would have suffered to
be nominated, had they not feared a
general uprising ot the people and
RESOLUTION
In view of the fact that ou. pastor,
Rev. !. W. Taft, has resigned his
work at this place, and has accepted
a call to liie pastorate of the I' irst
| Baptist church of Hastings, Ne-
i braska: and,
Whereas in the year and a half that
Rev. and Mrs. Taft have been witli
|us, they have endeared themselves to
us by their earnest Christian live-,
l and the helpful and ready sympathy
they have shown toward all,
manifesting the spirit of the Master
in the truest sense, and exerting a
strong influence upon the town and
the University,through their example
and teaching: and,
Whereas, the church has grown
steadily tiuder the leadership of Rev.
Taft: and the relations between the
pastor and people have been so satis-
factory that at this time there is en-
tire harmony in the church: therefore
be it resolved,

act is repea'ed, the live added section
provided for free print paper would
also be repealed, and the old tax on
paper even from Canada would be re-
stored. Since the tax on Canadian

million dollars, ha ve started up in op
position to the trust, bringing re-
ductions in prices already, and arous-
ing the hostility of the paper trust.

Last week we called our readers at-

we hope to see it fail this time, and
believe it will do so. The people are
