From Uayurd Transcript:
Don Cupid getting busy the first of the
week, a few stray darts entered the "pal
pitators" of Kay Roberts and Mabel Shet
ler. Old opportunity presenting himself,
the youngsters hopped aboard their ponies
and attempted a Cheyenne elopement, but
an irate guardian, a stubborn license clerk
and blue coated policeman frustrating
their designs, they were returned to their
homes to lament with Maud Muller "that
of all sad words of tongue or pen, the
saddest of these it might have been." The
young folks met at a previously arranged
point on Brush creek. From there they
went to Bridgeport, where tbey applied
for the necessary license to marry. The
judge, firm in the belief that tbey were a
few suns shoit in the number of years
necessary, refused to issue the required
paper. Not to be foiled by a license clerk,
tbey boarded the train for Alliance, hoping
in that place to attain their hearts' desire.
In the meantime, the guardian of Miss
Sbetler, Mr, Martin King, had missed his
fair ward and suspecting the cause of her
disappearance he did a pony "stunt" of
his own, making the distance from his
place to Bayard in record breaking time.
Not finding the girl, but discovering the
absence of Mr. Roberts, his fears were
confirmed and he called to his assistance
the telegraph wires to locate the missing
swain and his fair companion, which he
successfully did in Alliance. Notifying
the police, he succeeded in haviDg them
arrested before they attained their desired
state of matrimony. Miss Shetler was
placed under the watchful care of relatives
and Mr. Roberts was notified by the au
thorities to keep his distance, which he
did. returning home a lonesomer, sadder,
if not a witer man.

Methods Not Consistent With Kn

Changed Tariff Law is Defended
Now York, Feb, 14. Prusldont
Taft, speaking at tho Lincoln daj
celebration of tho New York Repub
lican club, made defense in dotal)
of the policies of his administration
He declared business "hysteria," due
to agitation and foar of drastic ac
tion against corporations In general
to be unjustified, and throughout hit
talk pleaded for tho sinking of fac
tional differences toward tho future
of the Republican party and' the
carrying out of Its pledges.
"If tho enforcement of tho law h
not consistent with tho present
methods of carrying on business
then It does not speak well for the
present methods of conducting busi
ness, and they must bo changeJ t
conform to tho law," declared tht
president, and his audience nt the
banquet tables In the Waldorf-Astoria
cheered the utterance. Gov.
Hugh'es, who shared tho honors ol
the evening with tho president,
joined in tho npplause.
Mr. Taft adhered to his purpose
of discussing platform pledrs and
how thoy should bo kept It was
at the conclusion ot a dotallcl argu
ment aB to how tho Republican party
is redeeming Its pledges that lie came
to n discussion of tho anti-trust law
and Wall street, on which 1 vtter
ances had been awaited wltn the
greatest Interest. Tho presitat de
clared that tho administration would
not "foolishly run amuck in business
and destroy vnlues and confidence
just for tho pleasure of doing no."
Its policy was "Llvo and lot live."
Must HtreiiHthon Confidence.
"No one," he continued, "has a
motive as strong as the administra
tion In power to cultivate and
strengthen business confidence and
prosperity.
"But there was no promise on the
part of tho Republican party tc
change the anti-truct law excopt to
strengthen it. Of courso the govern
niont at Washington can be counted
an to enforce tho law in tho way
best calculated to prevent a destruc
tion of public confidence In business,
but it must onforco tho law."
The. president declared there wore
signs which many construed to Indi
cate that the Republican majority In
congress might be roplaced by n
Democratic majority, Tho cause he
asserted to be dissensions in the Re
publican party arising out of d Iff or
ences of opinion In regard to the
rules in the house and to tho per
sonnel of the leadership in the son
ate. He declared thore existed a grow
ing tendency to tho assertion of in
dividual opinion and purpose nt the
expense of party discipline. The
movement was towrrd factionalism
and small groups.
All this, Mr. Taft said, should be
forgotten In furtherance of the one
great aim party success. To this
end, he asserted, a campaign of edu
cation was required.
"I am far from saying tho Repub
lican party is perfect," declared the
president, and then ho gave a warn
ing that party insurgency should be
punished.
The high cost of living, Mr. Taft
asserted, primarily was duo to the
"Increase In tho measure of value of
gold and, in some measure, to com
binations in restraint of trade."
Defends Tariff Hill.
Mr. Taft again camo to the defense
of tho Payne-Aldlch tariff bill. He
did not hesitate, he said, to repeat
that It substantially complied with
the party pledge for tariff revision,
and that through the bill the party
had "set Itself strongly In the right
direction towards lower tariffs."
Tho president brought statistics In
to his argument to show that there
has been a revision downward on
nearly all of tho articles considered.
Time and a wider knowledge, he
thought, would remedy the condi
tions to a certain extent and give
the people a greater realization of
the conditions and of the remedial
measures that must be taken.
