TAFT WARNS U. 5.
AGAINST POWER
OF DICTATOR
Defends Payne Tariff Law as
Maker of Prosperity—Tariff
Revision Promised.
NEW YORK. Sept. 27.—A warning
that the control of trusts through Fed
eral incorporation and regulation would
create a monstrous monopoly of power
which, in the grasp of an unprincipled
man. could be used to perpetuate his
authority and make him a dictator who
might be overthrown only by a revo
lution. is sounded by President Taft in
an interview printed in an evening pa
per (The World) here.
Discussing this phase of the Progres
sive platform, the president is quoted
as saying:
“It would create the most monstrous
monopoly of power in the history of the
world —a power as much greater, as
much more autocratic, than that of a
Caesar or a Napoleon, as the business
interests of the twentieth century are
greater, more dominant and far
reaching than were thosa two thou
sand or a hundred years ago. An un
principled man with such power in his
grasp couid perpetuate his authority,
perhaps under legitimate forms, and
become a dictator until his hold could
be shaken loose only by revolution."
Discussing the tariff, tne president
promised a reduction on a scientific
rather than a haphazard basis, say
ing
Promises Tariff Revision.
’The tariff should be revised so far
may be necessary to keep prices
from being exorbitant, so that, as I
have explained in my speech of ac
ceptance. the manufacturer shall se
cure only enough protection to pay the
scale of high wages which obtains and
ought to obtain in this country and se
cure a reasonable profit from the busi
ness. This may be done by the contin
uance of tariff boards' investigations
into the facts, which would enable
congress and the people to know wha.
the tariff as to each schedule ought t
be. The American public may rest as
sure*! that, should the Republican part,
be restored to power in all its legisla
tive branches, all the schedules in the
present tariff of which complaint is
made will be subjected to investigation
and report without delay by a compe
tent and impartial tariff board, and to
the tedintion or change which may be
necessary to square the rates with
facts So far as excessive prle< s might
b.- due to ill, <a.l combinations, they can
be dealt with under the anti-trust law.”
The president stated that the policy
the Republican party is not to shut
■ it foreign manufactures, but to foster
American manufacturesand tn keep the
American workingman employed.
Defends Payne Law Again.
As to the Payne tariff law, the presi
dent says:
"Th' Payne law has no more to do
with advancing the cost of living than
tl.i latest Atlantic cable tariff. On the
contrary, it has enabletj the American
worker to meet the cost of living and
maintain his family in comfort. Under
the operation of that law. prosperity
has been gradually restored since the
panic of 1907. Practically every able
bodied man who is willing to work has
work, and in some of the large Indus
trial centers, as well as in other parts
of the country , the demand for laborers
far exceeds the supply. City hotels
have been thronged with buyers from
ali «e>ctlons of the Union, who report
ready sales and empty shelves. Farm
ers were never better off. Every le
gitimate Industry is looking forward to
still greater prosperty, provided the na
tion's progress shall not be halted by
the benumbing glacier of free trade or
the destructive lava stream of an
archy.”
The president, after intimating that
he would cal! an extra session of con
gress for tariff revision, was ajsked.
"Do you mean to say, Mr. President,
that you will call an extra session to
revise the tariff"" The president re
plied :
"My statement is suffician-tlv ex
plicit.”
The president declared that woman s
suffrage is an issue to be decided bv
the states, and concluded with the de, -
laration that he feels sanguine of re
election.

U. S. SUPREME COURT
TO DECIDE WHO GETS
ROME HOSIERY MILL
ROME. GA., Sept. 27.—" The purchaser
will have as much chance of acquiring
this property as a one-legged man would
have in a foot race,” declared Attorney
Wright Willingham when the Cherokee
Hosiery Mills, sold at a recent sale for
$35,100, were auctioned off again to Bell
ing Sullivan for $45,000.
At the first sale E. H. Shropshire was
the highest bidder, $35,100. Trustee John
Graham protested that the sum was in
adequate. Referee W. S. Rowell thought
so, too, and ordered the property to be
re-advertised for sale. In the meantime
the referee’s decision was appealed and
argued for two days before Judge New
man in Atlanta. The judge sustained the
referee
At the second sale there was some lively
bidding and as soon as Sullivan was an
nounced the purchaser, the attorneys for
Shropshire declared they would appeal the
decisions of the referee and Judge New
man through the United States court of
appeals to the United States supreme
court.

Are You As Much a Specialist in Dressing
Your Daughter As 6
The Junior Department
But perhaps that is not a fair question. Sup
pose we ask could you be as much a specialist in
dressing your daughter without the aid of the
Junior Department as you are with it?
You see, it is a business with us, a very serious
business, that can only be successful insofar as it
serves.
And do not think that for one instant we al
low that point to escape us. We are up and plan
ning and doing for the young folk all the time.
We keep in very close touch with the makers of
styles for misses and children. We are never sat
isfied with what we have done. Doubtless that is
why the department is showing such a healthy
growth. It is serving better. Right now we are
in the midst of the new fall things.
It’s going to be worth your while to visit the
department tomorrow. The things that daughter
wants are here, plentifully and beautifully, in every
line. You will find
Splendid Suits at $13.50
The suits at this price are our “best foot forward.” Suits
chucked full of value and of style, too. They are mostly the
soft woolen mixtures, tans, greys and blues, fashioned very
plainly—box coats—the kind that is best for the school-going
girl.
Then at sls, $17.50, S2O and Slowly Up to SSG
comes the wealth of suitdom for misses. The smart and youth
ful cutaways, the Norfolks, those with the Robespierre collars
—and they are most attractive in these little suits—and those
that show all the bright ideas of this season’s trimmings, the
fancy buttons, the self-cordings and the rather wide bias
folds—these in wide wale serges, Bedford cords, mixtures, vel
vets and corduroys.
We wish every mother and daughter could see just how
attractive these suits really are.
The New Junior Coats
“I he Johnny Coat” is one of these: it is a three-quarter
length coat, often cutaway—and has a smartness that is tak
ing it far in the favor of the young folk. It is in the mixtures
and the plain shades.
The Mackinaw is another favorite this fall. This is a
loose-fitting long coat of heavy Scotch mixtures—in rich tans,
greys and black and white. It has a soft crush hat to match.
\ou would like it for no other reason than its serviceableness
in all sorts of weather, but over above that it has a jauntiness
about it that will appeal very strongly to the young wearer.
At Sio.oo and up.
Rain Capes. It seems we can hardly get enough of
them. The same process that makes them water proof also
makes them full of warmth: which means that the coming cold
and rainy days need have no terrors for wearers of “Bestyette
Rain Capes. They are priced at $3.00 and $3.50.
Bestyette Rain Coats with Sou’--Wester hats to match,
tor both boys and girls, are $3-5°- They are very strong and
very durable. They never crack or become leaky. And then
there is a school bag free for every purchaser of a “Bestyette
coat or cape.
Girls’ and Children’s Hats
We want you to see what has been done here that the
girls and children may have just the most stylish and becom
ing hats possible. It is the result of treating their millinery
as seriously as we do the grownup’s. Just anything won't
do. No indeed, not in the Junior Department! The hats
that make up their display have been selected because of in
dividual merit.
There are hats lor all occasions—school hats and dress
hats—in velvets, corduroys, scratch felts, French felts and
velours, some very plainly trimmed with ribbons and velvets
and others very elegantly trimmed with tinted feathers and
ostru h plumes. They range slowly upward from $125 to
S2OOO.
No question about your finding just the one that you want!
