TAFT ON THE ADMINISTRATION

II the OF monopoly and discrimination cannot be
strained the cnon OF power made possible by such abuses
continues and increases made manifest that under the w
TEN Of ndvduam and private property the tyranny and oppres
ogachy Of wealth cannot be avoided then socialism will
triumph and the institution Of private property will perish
The administration has been thus lar successful showing
that dangers from indvduasm be effectively regulated and
that abuses the exercises OF private property be restrained
Thus great conservative victory has been and the coming
Of socialism has been stayed.
The question which YOU have ultimately to meet not whether
we shall condition OF unTeglated railways and unreg
lated trusts but is whether shall maintain strict system Of
teo1lafion OF railways and trusts whether shall the

Frenchmen Discuss View Years
Resolutions In Paris Journal
Paris. Dec. So-The usually numerous
and well-intentioned beings. who hold
serious converse with themselves at this
season. debating whether or not to swear
of on New Years Day, may be interest
ed in some replies received by French
periodical. which sent an inquiry TO art
lists and writer's. asking if it were neces-
sary for them TO drink alcohol. and what
they drank.
NJ Sardou replied that he holds alco-
hol to be a poison. He could not stand
half a glass Of brandy. He never has re-
course to alcohol as stimulaEt to do his
work. On the other hand, he drinks cof-
fee three times daily. He does not sleep
we'll at night unless he has half a cup Of
coffee without sugar. after dinner.
NJ. Saint Saens SAYS pleasantly: Y drink
when I am eating and drink when am
thirsty chiefly mineral water and wine
without excess. and a little beer"
N. Marsenet, repeating the question Of
whether alcohol was TO him a happy ex-
citant from the point Of view Of musical
composition, replied that he did not think
so. since he had always preferred to alb
stain from clarets. He drank little
alcohol, at most an occasional sweet liq-
ueur he did not believe It was ar In

Henry Lavedan denouuces alcohol as
one OF the worst Of poisons. and says he
would gladly sign with both hands all
serious anti-alcoholic appeals.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Indianapolis, Ind. Dec 3o-Two thou
sand members of the Indiana Federation
Of Labor, in mass-meetlng here tonight,

by the rits Of the bill. was practically
a unit OF the adoption Of d c0mmendatOry

FRANCE PRAISES OUR FLEET
Writer Says American Navy Is Su-
perior to Japan.
Infers that Nippon Is EnviOus, and
Expresses Vague Fear for
the Future.

Paris, Dec. 3O-The Journal has begun
the publication of a series Of articles on
the domination Of the Pacific. It praises
the first performance Of the American
battle ship feet its run 10 Port Of Spain,
and says that If the same speed is main
tained San Francisco should be reached
by May (the schedule Of the fleets
movements provides for its reaching San
Francisco on May 70 or 20).
The writer refuses TO prophesy what
viii happen then, as Japan's silence,
which IS evidently due TO orders. makes
it impossible to learn her intentions. This
silence has only been broken by ex-
Premier Count Okuma. whom the writer
says he knows, and whom he considers
10 be a speaker Of the greatest circUm-
spection. despite his japanese reputation
for being an incorrigible babbler. Count
Okuma is rich and popular. and it is
feared he expressed about what ali the
japanese think, but refrain from saying.
The writer declares the japanese de-
spise the American navy but he be
lieves Rear Admiral Evans fleet is more
modern and better armed than the Japa-
nese. Defects have been found in the
American. but these can be found in all
fleets. He does not believe that the resus-
citated Russian ships can be a source Of
strength TO the japanese.
On the other hand. he believes that the
moral stttus of the japanese crews is
immensely superior to that of the Ameri-
cans. The strategic situation Of the Japa-
nese is also superior. They are in a posi-
ton to easily seize Hawaii. which would
prevent Rear Admiral Evans from reach
ing the Philippines. and hesasks:
Are the japanese going to do SOP
