Mr.. Hammond is a citizen of Massa-

Gloucester. He spends the winters in
New York city and Lakewood, N. j.
When not working hard he takes

to be something Of hero worshiper.

He admires Rudyard Kipling intense

Anglo-Indian author. Mr.. Hammond,
in short, has a liking for the men who

has helped to eliminate from Ameri-

silver simply had to go away back

One of Mr.. Hammond's political adj
visers, himself noted mining en-
gineer, says: Mr.. Hammond is not
only a famous mining engineer, but
he has done more than any man in
the west to develop the country. He
has long been known to the people of
the west as a producer. He has never
been a destroyer, but always a build

TAFT THE BEST
EQUIPPED CANDIDATE

No candidate who has appeared
for the Presidency has had just the
equipment that Mr.. Taft has. The
country has turned to him for high
public service where the exercise of
rare legal learning had to be COM
bined with extraordinary require
ments in administrative ability.
Speaking editorially as to this equip
ment the Philadelphia Public Ledger
has this to say:
"Of all the Presidential candidates
within the memory of this generation.
Taft is unquestionably the best
equipped. In training and experience.
and in wide and close contact with
large affairs. In one important re-
spect his equipment is unlike that OF
any of the Presidents, no one of
whom had ever served on the bench.
With the exception of those nominal
ed on their military records, and two
or three who had been Governors OF
their States, the Presidents have been
men whose political training was in
the legislative branch. Taft was
never in Congress, or even In his
State Legislature. He is wholly with
out personal experience in what is
called practical politics. He was edu-

THE FRlAR QUESTION
IN THE PHILIPPINES

No other problem in the readjust-
ment OF conditions in the Philippines
gave Mr.. Taft more and deeper con-
Germ than the friar question. The
moral and religious progress of the
islands, and to no small extent what
political progress was accomplished
in the Spanish regime, belongs to the
credit of the priests. They converted
majority Of the natives to Chris
tianity from Mohammedanism and
pagan worship. They became DOM
inant, even above the civil arm. With
the increase of their power abuses
crept in, until in the latter days of the
Spanish occupation the friars had re-
duced millions of Filipinos to state
amounting to vassalage, practicing
excessive extortions upon them in the
name of the church, mistreating them
flagrantly and charging them ex-
cessive rentals for the little farms
upon friars' lands which the priests
compelled them to tenant and till.
Although intensely loyal to the
church. the Filipinos rebelled against
the friars and were in rebellion
against them when we took over the
islands. The union of church and
State they regarded as indissoluble,
for that was the way it had been for
centuries. The priest was given COM
plete supervision and power over the
municipal machinery of his town.
They were loath to believe Mr.. Taft

WHAT THE BRYAN
BLIGHT WOULD MEAN

"while l was on the Ways ana
Means Committee, said Bryan, In
recent speech in Delaware, every
man who came there was tax-eater
and wanted something.
This is another way OF calling
workingmen and their employers
"public beggars---because they asked
for protection from the products OF
European cheap labor. Bryan mas
evidently not changed the views
which he held out and expressed be-
fore he was candidate for President
that American labor has no right
to protection, and that the working
man whose wages are kept up by pro-
lection is receiving that to which ne
is not entitled: that he Is, as Bryan
pu. it years ago, a public beggar'
and as he put 1t a few days ago a
"tax-eater.'
The "tax-eaters" and public beg
gars.n as Mr.. Bryan calls them, are
quite numerous. 1t may be said tnat
the terms apply truthfully to all the
people of the United States, II bene-
ficiaries of the protective tarin are 10

when he told them that with us the
church had nothing to do with the
State. The situation between the ma
tives and the friars had to be settled,
and speedily. 1t appeared best that
the Philippine government purchase
outright the friars'. lands, and resell
them to the tenants, or whatever pur-
chasers offered. But the consent of
the Vatican had to be procured. 1t
also was imperative that the friars be
deported, transferred to other fields,
and that priests strange to the Philip
pines be installed in their stead. So
long as the friars remained there was
certain to be friction and turmoil.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor any of those
associated with him had the most re-
mote thought of lessening the author
ity and spiritual power of the church
in the Philippines. The matter was
grounded upon expediency and was
gone into like any other piece of
business, diplomacy, craftsmanship,
whatever 1t may be called. Mr.. Taft
visited the Vatican armed with au-
thority to pay 100000 from the
Philippine treasury for the friars'
lands. 1t was good bargain for the
church. The offer was accepted, the
friars gradually were withdrawn and
so, with a minimum Of friction, Mr..
Taft wrote Finished" at the end of

matte gifts.

to revise the tariff without damaging

Vice-President of the United States
will be assurance that the Nation is
not to be blighted by Organism and

will march on to new and greater

REFUSE TO FOLLOW GOMPERS.

Although he had men on hand to
work hard for him, President Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, failed to accomplish anything
for Bryan at the recent annual con-
vention of the Maryland State Fedora
ton OF Labor. The convention turned
the Gompers resolutions down nat
What 1t did, however, was to adopt
a resolution touching on the question
of injunction and the attitude Of cap
ital toward labor, which concluded as
follows:
That it is the sense of the con-
vention that we put aside, SO far as
possible, all party feeling and seek to
elect to office, both National and
State, only those persons in whom
we can safely rely for fairness and
consideration.
What chance has Bryan for the
support of sane, clear-headed men
like those who made up the Maryland
convention?

e0MPERs m THEORY
AND IN PRACTICE

Political theorists in the train Of
Bryan have an awful time applying
their theories to their own practical
affairs of life. They wont work,
somehow, and when the application
shows how untenable they are. the
advocates are driven into an awkward
plight. This is illustrated in the case
of Mr.. Gompers, concerning which
the New York Globe takes occasion
to say editorially:
"Gompers in theory is one person
and Gompers in practice is quite an
other. The chasm appears II one con-
trast what Gompers is saying from
the platform with what Gompers has
just done before Washington court.

tends that to deny trial by jury in

hearers understand less.

to lay foundation for an application

The court was about ready to author
