Beverly, -Mass.—With his veto mes-
sage on the Flood resolution providing
for the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico into the union practically com-
pleted, President Taft brought his
week-end visit here to a close Sunday
night. The president departed from
Beverly for Boston and took the mes-
sage with him. He took a train at
Boston at 8 p. m. for Washington and
is scheduled to reach the capital Mon-
day morning.
The message may be sent to con-
gress during the day. Only a desire
to revise it slightly is likely to post-
pone its presentation to congress un-
til Tuesday.
The president's veto is understood
to be based largely upon Ihe provision
for the recall of the judiciary in the
Arizona constitution. To the New
Mexico constitution the president is
understood to have no particular ob-
jection, but the Flood resolution so
couples the two territories that a veto
must affect them both.
It is understood that the message is
long. It is expected the president's po-
sition in regard to recall of judges will
be presented in plain terms.

federal government should own and
operate public utilities as is done in
the Panama canal zone.
After taking issue with a newspaper
statement that during the Roosevelt
administration the same course had
been pursued as had been pursued
later in connection with Controller
Bay, Mr. Roosevelt discusses some of
the general phases of the Alaskan de-
velopment and adds:
“The government must itself con-
trol the development of Alaska and
adopt as the guiding principle the idea
of shaping that development In the
interest primarily of the people as a

“I do not think the task is very
difficult if only we, the people,,person-

in mind, and if we insist that the
agents of government act with an un-
derstanding of the needs of the people

WOOL REPORT
RUSHES IT TO SENATE FOR PAS'
SAGE PROBABLY TUESDAY
IS AHEAD Of OTHERS
Gets Right-of-^Vay to White House for
Expected Veto—After This Its
Fate Is Considered Very
Problematical
Washington—The tariff revision-
ists made considerable progress In con-
gress Monday. The house by a vote
of 206 to 90, without a democrat break-
ing the party alignment, adopted the
conference report on the wool tariff
revision bill and rushed It over to the
senate, where it was hung up on the
senate calendar.
For this measure, which imposes a
flat ad valorem duty of 29 per cent on
all raw wools with correspondingly re-
duced rates on woolen manufactures,
the other two tariff measures will be
sidetracked to give It the right of way
to the white house for the expected
veto.
On the veto depends the further pro-
gram of the house democrats and the
senate democrats and progressive re-
publicans, including the formulation of
plans foy a speedy adjournment.
Democratic Leader Underwood of
the house In expressing an opinion
that final adjournment will not
come before next week, said that he
does not expect congress to stay after
the pending bills have been disposed
of “unless the senate determines to
stay and act on the cotton bill." That
bill, whicjfr makes an average cut of 21
per cent in cotton duties, was debated
without action In the senate. It al-
ready has passed the house.

As Admiral Togo, speaking in his
native tongue, uttered that sentiment
at the luncheon given jointly by the
Japanese society and (he Peace society
of New York, only the Japanese pres
ent understood and applauded vigor-
ously, but when Commander Tanigu
chi, his aide, repeated the words in
English, an outburst of applause arose
spontaneously from the hundreds of
guests.
It was the first expression here by
the great fighting man of the east on
the subject of international relations.
"My name, Heihachiro Togo, posses-
ses a peculiar significance," he contin-
ued. "Heihachiro signifies peaceful
son' and Togo means 'eastern coun-
try'—the peaceful man of the east. I
consider, therefore, that the name by
which I was christened entitles me to
address you on terms of intimacy.
"I cannot conceive of a happier com-
bination, since the relationship be-
tween Japan and the United States
muste vevr be one of peace and neigh-
borly good will. In this belief, I take
advantage of the occasion to declare
myself among the foremost advocates
in favor of maintaining that relation-
ship, in order that our two countries,
which have so long lived in harmony
and cordial relationship, may continue
to do so forever.’’

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.
A well-known clergyman was on©
‘day in a barber’s shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man In the chair, with
lather all qver his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times—“Next gentle-
man! Next gentleman!”
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
"It isn’t a bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront-
ery to answer to that name.”

Serenity.
“The true religious man, amid all
the Ills of time, keeps a serene fore-
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of tha city, the agony
of the plague, the horrors of tha
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fiercer ill at home—the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves—
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few or many may scream, calum-
niate, blaspheme. What Is all to him
but the cawing of the seabird about
that solitary, deep-rooted stone?”—
