MARKS NEW EPOCH President Taft Issues Statement Anent Passage ot Measure. HOPES CANADA WILL AGREE Belief of txarutlvt That Carrying Out of Provisions of Traaty Will Be of Surprising Value to Economic Con ditions of the Country. In his first statement slnre the pas age of the reciprocity hill hy the sen ate. Presl.lent Taft. at thp summer White House, freely acknowledged that his long, hard campaign In hehalf of that measure would have proved un availing If tha Democrats had not helped him. The statement reads as follows: ' That I am v;ry much pleased with the passage of tha Canadian reciproc ity hill through both houses of con cress goes without saving. I believe and hope It will be followed by sim ilar action by the lominlon parlia ment. "In my Judgment, the going Into ef fect of the agreement will mark a new epoch in the relations between tha Vnlted States and Canada, and will tend to a marked Increase in the trade between th- two countries, which will le in every way beneficial to both. "I hope the credit that belongs to Secretary Knox and hla apectal assist ants at the state department in the negotiating and framing of the pact and their lucid explanation and de fense of its tnrma will not he with held. "In a sense, the bill passed was a nonpartisan measure, though the Re publicans who voted "or It probably did so on an economic theory and the Democrats who voted for It on anoth er. I should be wanting In straight forward speaking, however. If I did not freely acknowledge the credit that be longs to the Democratic majority In the house and the Democratic minor ity In the senate for their consistent support of the measure, In an earnest and sincere desire to secure Its pas sage. "Without this reciprocity would have been Impossible. It would not have been difficult for them io faaten upon the bll amendments affecting the tariff ganeraltir (n auch a way as to embairass the executive and to make It doubtful whether he could sign the bill, and yet to claim popular approval for their support of reciproc ity in Its defeat. In other words, the Democrats did not 'play politics' In the colloquial sense In which those words are used, but they followed the dic tates of a higher policy. "We Republicans who have earnest ly sought reciprocity and some of whose votea were necessary to tha liassage of the bill may properly enjoy mutual felicitations on a work well done. To those who opposed the bill, on the ground that it will do harm to the farmers, we can only say that wa who have supported the passage of the hill look forward to the test of the act ual operation of the reciprocity meas ure to disprove their prophecies and allay their fears. The satisfaction that actual experience In Its working will give, we confldentlv hope will ae cure Its permanence. In a decade its benefits will contribute much to a arreater United States and greater Canada." TRUST PIONEER PROUD Promoter John E Parsons Says Big Wrongs Right Themselves. "All such wrongs right themselves," Was the assurance John K. Parsons gave the sugar trust investigators at the hearing in New York when they tisked hlni how to curb the big corpor ations. When the former attorney of the American Sugur Refining company took the stand again Representative Ashor C Hinds inquired: "As probably the worlds most emi nent expert on these matters, what would you suggest that a sovereign government can do to prevent these great combinations of capital from the extravagances they have exhibited, in the past?" "My theory Is, and It it- supported by the greatest economic : Iters, Ifcti such wrongs right themselves," replied Mr. Pnrscns. "!f tr-'-re is too much water in the 8to k tat wl'l taVe care of itself. The government annot in equity interlere In private affairs. There should be no limit to taplt iliia tion so Ion? as it is not injm to a or t ramluleut." "I rertaiiilv claim to be the pioneer in the formation of the Amcihan trust.' ;atd Mr. Parsons, in answer tu another question "I am very pioud of it." Chfiies R HeiUe, former sac rotary of the Am : :ccn BSfH Refining iom pau, declared bis ignor::u e of the mysterious resolution passed by the board of directors, in which II.

BIG FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE Five Thousand Houses in Ancient Quarter of Stamboul Burned. Constantinople, July 25. The confla gration which started last evening con tinned until 3 a. m.. by which time the finmes were gotten under control, but practically because there wbb no fur ther fuel in their path. The disaster was the greatest since the great Are in Pera, the European quarter, in 1870. It is believed that the present fire was the work of political Incendiaries. It broke out simultaneously at several points In Stamboul, the ancient city, while the people were celebiating the anniversary of the new constitution. The most formidable blaze flared up near the ministry of war and was borne by a strong north wind through the residential section of the southern coast. Ktom the square in front of the war ministry east to the center of Stamboul to the sea of Marmora, on the south, practically nothing was left standing. Two square miles of the city was devastated. It is roughly estimated that over 5,0oo houses were destroyed. The greatei number of these were wooden buildings, but several import ant stone structures were ruined. HARNESS HORSE NEWS Palmer L.

The recent trotting meeting at the Indiana State Fair Grounds, Indian apolis, which practically opened the flrand Circuit seanon, clearly demon atrated that It makes but little dif ference whether horses are trained In the sunny South, the far North, the extreme East or the golden West It all revolves to the Important point of how they were trained, as proven by the way In which the money was decided. The only section that overshadowed all others at any one time occured on Thursday when three of the four events were won by Illinois owned and trained horses In the hands of as many dif ferent trainers who furnished the su prlse of the meeting in their suc cessful effort for first money. Another thing proven beyond a shadow of doubt by the Indianapolis meeting Is the demand for a big opening meeting In the spring, as de cisive In character, to Inaugurate not only the Orand Circuit, but the Great Western and the Middle Weoi as well, fhat will compare In every respect with what Lexington stands for as th? closing event In October such a meeting as would Inspire owners ami trainers to prepare for with as much enthusiasm and to strive lor the glory and money attaching to the winning of the events as they do for Lexing ton. That the auto is a commrrclal ne cessity la proven by the fact that If H were not for the large gas-propelled machines large businesses which have great delivery work to do would be woefully handicapped for heavy draft and light delivery horses; but t'.iat the auto truck Is superceding horses as predicted it would, is far from be ing verified. The auto truck has grown to be a necessity where roads are good and smooth. It Is true; but even owners of the trucks must still keep horses to help them out. For the past year or more there has been a great demand for cocky little wagon horses weighing about 1,250 pounds. In speaking of this demand Mr. Tom Donellan, who buys all the horses for the Armour Packing Co., said: "Why, we put two of these little fellows together on a three-quarter wagon and send them to the branch houses In the smaller towns. They can take all the meat we have to hundle, make a good round of deliv ery and return the same day. Our largest loads are hauled by the auto trucks. Then the delivering is done by the horses from these central points." , That the self-propelled truck will run in all sorts of weather as long! ai me going is goon, mere Is no i doubt. They are here to stay; but I their limitations are well defined. 1 The expense of up keep and opera-1 tlon is too great. While the ma chines are new and no expensive parts to be replaced and while the tires hold out. everything is lovely; but whe:i the repair bills amount to hundreds of dollars, it becomes a dlf-1 ferent Story. Several leading mer chants have kept exact account of the relative expense attached to the use of both the trucks and horses for delivery purposes and not one, so far. has been heard to say that the figures are In favor or the machine. Possibly In the most congested dis tricts of the largest cities the auto truck may displace the horse; but even that Is not positively presaged by the direction of current events. The weather still continues warm and dry. as Geo. Gnrvlc was the victim of a bad runaway, the team running and throwing him out. His face and head were bruised and the buggy was damaged some. Cal Derr went to Alliance Tuesday. Kdwln Dunlay went to the Bluffs, Wednesday. as Mrs. Annie Denton went to Alli ance Sunday to attend the Normal two weeks.
