The action of President Taft in sign
ing or refusing to sign the Payne-Ah
rich bill wii. tell lu on a story.
Witn two voices sounding in hi
ears one that of the trusts aemand
ing that he sign and the other that o
the people asking for the use of hi!
veto the president finds himself in :
position where his action will give th.
people of the country a direct line at
to who is really in the saddle In thif
country.
No douht the president would like to
veto the bill realizing as be must that
the promises he made to the people
such as revision on a basis of equal-
ization Of cost of production here and
abroad are not being kept. Like anj
average man in public life he would
prefer to please Instead of disappoint
the great mass of Americans w ho pre-
fer honest reviHion to revision upward
But as has been pointed out before
the president is not in a position where
he can use wide unbounded discretion
as to whether he will sign or refuse tc
sign. President Taft finds himself
under obligations to the tariff trusts
every one of which will suffer througl
revision downward. Mr. Taft mad
his campaign on funds largely supplied
by tbe beneficiaries of high protectior
and tnese big industrial concerns na
turally expect that he will not turn
around and act against their interests.
President Taft could win a name for
himself in history by "double crossing'
the corporations that place greed above
patriotism. The whole nation would
applaud such a course the whole m
tion save probably the trust-ridden
New England states.

MUCH PISE FOR
ROBINSON CIRCUS
Fine Street Parade. The Newspape-s
All Say The Show is a
Good One.
In a few more days America's old
est and best tented show will be here
opening the days enjoyment with Its
usual grand open den free street page-
ant. business has been unusually pood
ever "since its circus season opened
and all the newspapers have very
creditable mention of this big amuse-
ment enterprise. The Washington
Daily Record says:
The old reliable John Robinson's
ten big shows combined have posses-
sion of the city today and notwith-
standing thatthe day opened veiy
threateningly with a drizzle through
last night yet the crowds ware out
early and many hundreds of people
assembled to watch the unloading
process. The show is carried on three
trains. The parade was witnessed v
many hundreds of people ail along the
line.
This show carries over three hun-
dred horses in all about five hundred
men and an unusually large menag-
erie. Among interesting acts of this
afternoon's performance were the
wonderful riding seals riding on horse-
back and performing feats of Juggling
In a truly remarkable manner. The
ariel acts too are very fine while
the educated elephants are about the
greatest of their kind ever brought to
town. The Indians and cowboys are
also great features and the horseback
riding Is very fine indeed. There Are
about fifty clowns connected" with '.he
big show and they keep the laughter
going continuously.
The John Robinson shows h;ive a'-j
ways been a favorite with the people
and judging by the enormous crowds
attending this afternoon's performance
it is still the prime favorite with peo-
ple residing for many miles here
abouts. These shows are now owned
controlled and personally managed by
young John Robinson a grandson of
the old John we all knew so well.
Robinson the younger has endeavor
ed to keep up the fine reputation made
through many years hard work by the
grandfather and not only thU has
been endeavoring to improve his prop
erty making bigger and better and
that he has conceded admirably Is evi-
denced by the result so obviously ob-
tained. Will exhibit at Vinlta Fridi.y Au-

SIMPLE SERVICES AT
HARRY PULLIAM FUNERAL.
Hy Associated Press.
Louisville Ky. Aug. 2. The funeral
of Harry Clay Pulliam late president
o fthe National League wag held here
this afternoon. The service was sim-
ple. Louisville wag PuUUm's former
home.
avowedly for downward revision it
seems certain that if the president
(signs the bill it will spell failure for
his administration thus far. This
failure would in time to come prob-
ably be charged to President Taft's at
lection of advisers. First rilling his
cabinet with men carrying the en
dorsement of the trusts and then con-
fining his conferences to the repre
sentatives of the privileged class the
president has been in a position where
it has been almost impossible for the
voice of the people to reach him.
From first to last the president has
relied on Speaker Aldrich for advice.
Speaker Cannon who before election
was reported to not have the endorse-
ment of Judge Taft has been a wel-
come caller at the White House since
the departure of Theodore Roosevelt.
Republicans like La Follette Bris-
tow Dolliver Nelson and Murdock
who have endeavored to represent the
sentiment of the people have been ig-
nored completely at the executive man-
sion. Roosevelt policies toward trusts
have been on the shelf since March 4
and those republicans who admired
Roosevelt's attempt to direct the at-
tention of the nation to the trickery
of the Aldrich-Cannon clique have beer
amazed to observe that President Taft
has made tnese corporation controlled
politicians his bosom companions.
If the president signs the bill Aid-
rich and Cannon have cooked up in the
interests of the trusts and corpora
tions it will have to be admitted even
by republicans that the president be-
longs to the Aldrich-Cannon or the
reactionary wing of his party. Tulsa

OLD BANK CHARTER
HELD STILL VALID
Guthrie Okla. Aug. 2. The Guthrie
National bank of this city which has
been figuring on starting an auxiliary
state bank In order to get some bene-
fit from the state guaranty law with-
out surrendering its federal charter
may have the charter of the Old Bank
of Indian Territory which it purchas-
ed in 1903 for that purpose.
In a letter to the attorney general
Bank Commissioner A. M. Young
states that the present owners of that
charter which was issued May 31
1892 desire to open a foO.OOO capital
bank under it and Inquires as to the
legality of such a proceeding. The
Bank of Indian Territory has not been
actively engaged in the banking busi-
ness since 1903 wnen It was absorbed
by the Guthrie National.
The attorney general holds that
when it ceased to do a banking busi-
ness and disposed of its assets the at-
torney general had authority to file
suit to forfeit its charter rights but
that since no steps were taken toward
its dissolution the state might waive
this and permit the bank to again en
gage in business. He asks for more
definite Information however as to
the exact point on which legal advice
is wanted.
