TAFT VOICES
ROOSEvE[T'S
POLICIES
CONFESSIONS OF
FAITH" SUBJECT OF SECRE-
TARYS ADDRESS AT CoLUM.
BUS O., LAST NIGHT

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 20.-William
Howard Taft, secretary of war, deliv
cred what he was pleased to term his
Political Confession of Faith at
Memorial Hall last night. The audi
forum, which has a seating capacity
Of over 5000. was packed TO the
doors and several thousand people
who also came to hear the secretary
speak were unable to gain admit
lance.
The secretary spoke under the aus.
pieces of the Buckeye Republican
club and the address was notable
from the fact that it is regarded as
the platform upon which he will
make his campaign for the republican
nomination for president. Mr.. Taft
had no formal announcement of his
candidacy but he was introduced by
Governor Harris as the next president
Of the United States, which was the
signal for prolonged outburst Of APP
plause.
Special interest was manifested in
Secretary Taft's utterances of the
tariff. He reiterated his previous dec
]arations in favor Of revision and de.
clared that 1t would be both unwisa
anu auliSdIS Iu0 eISpuUllCdH Pal ~
to fail to pledge itself to revise the
Dingley tariff bill as soon after the
next presidential election as possible.
| Mr.. Taft also declared in favor Of
| imprisonment Of individuals RESPONSE
BILE for violations of the antitrust
law, for the giving or accepting Of re-
bates, as more effective than fines.
His defense of President Roosevelt's
policies evoked enthusiastic applause.
Secretary Taft spoke in part as fol-
lows:
| Invited to Discuss National Issues.
| II have been invited by your body

Waves of Mater,

Waves are deceptive thugs. To LOOK
at them one would gather the impress
sion that the whole water Travelled
stays in the same place, but the mo-
ton goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high, and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour.
The base of a wave fhe distance from
valley to Valley is usually considered
as being fifteen times the height of
the wave. Therefore wave twenty
five feet high would have a base ex-
tending 375 feet The force of waves
breaking on the shore is seventeen
tons to the square inch.
