TAFT AND ROOSEVELT ACCEPT
HIS IDEAS

EMIT AGREE WITH HIM
Great Democratic Leader Leaves on
Long speechmaking Tour of Mid
die West and New England
States

BY Associated Press
FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Sept. 6.-W. j.
Bryan left here today over the Rock
Island for Chicago, and thus began a
three weeks campaign tour which will
carry him into the middle west, the
eastern states and back through the
west into South Dakota before re-
turning home.
Perhaps no recent news afforded the
Democratic candidate for president so
much interest as the announcement
that Mr. Taft purposed making a cam
paign tour.
Mr.. Bryan regarded his opponents
decision as a distinctive vindication of
his course in the present as we'll as his
two previous campaigns, when he trav-
eled over the country and delivered
political speeches.
When asked If he had any comment
to make on the subject Mr.. Bryan
said:
Their Actions Console Him
'Well, am getting a great deal of
consolation out of the way the presi-
dent and Mr.. Taft have been doing.
II used to be called hard names be-
now the income tax has been indorsed
by the president and Mr.. Taft.
'I used to be bitterly denounced be-
cause 1 favored railroad regulation;
now the president and Mr.. Taft have
brought that reform into popularity
and I am no longer considered dan
gerous.
''I used to get good deal of criti-
cism because I favored tariff reform,
but now tariff reform has become SO
urgent that Mr. Taft is willing to have
a special session called Immediately
after Inauguration to act on the sub
ject.
'It used to be when I talked about
independence for the FilipinoS I was
told that the American flag never came
down when it once came up.
Strangest of All
"Now we have a Republican candi-
date for president who actually be-
lieves the Filipinos must ultimately
have independence!
"And now my greatest sin Is to be
made virtue by imitation. Surely,
imitation is the sincerest form Of
fattery'
when I went out campaigning in
1896 and 1900 they said 1t was dema-
gogic to run around over the country
hunting for votes. Now 1t is emil
nently proper-since Mr.. Taft is going
to do It,"
Mr.. Bryan is due in Chicago in the
morning at $40 o'clock, and he will
proceed at once to the Auditorium
Annex, where the Democratic head
quarters are located, and there confer
with Chairman Mack and the others of
his political managers and advisers.

ten in his dealings with men that they
were his fellows and brothers.
Charles L. Batchelder spoke of the
purposes of the chapel, saying that it
was for religious services and a place

Been VainIy Warned
Before

years, was killed instantly beneath
Southern Pacific freight train at Ninth
and Alameda streets yesterday after

when shifting engine came along, draw
ing a long line of box and fiat cars.
Crying out that he was going to take
q ride, the boy ran to the edge of the
track and grasped a sidebar at the end
of one of the cars. The speed of the
train was greater than he thought, and
he was dragged from his feet in an In
stant and thrown beneath the trucks.
His body was carried along the track
for nearly a block and was mangled
horribly. The remains were taken to
the undertaking establishment of Pierce

Father Makes Charge
of Kidnapping
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Sept. Elm an effort to
regain possession of his daughter,
whom he alleges was kidnapped, Jesus
Salgado of 1920 Lincoln avenue today
caused the arrest of Will Verdugo, who
is now free on $1,000 bail to insure his
appearance before Judge Mcdonald at
2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
According to the story told the po-
lice, the daughter, Ramona Salgado, Is
only 15 years old. On August 27 1t is
alleged that Verdugo kidnapped her and
carried her to San Bernardino, where
they were married yesterday by Justice
of the Peace c. S. Thomas.
When Verdugo brought his bride
back today he met with by no means
the kind of reception he expected. At
noon Officers Coping and Hayes found
him at the corner of Lincoln avenue
and Peterson street and served their
warrant upon him.
Ramona explained to Chief of Police
Favour this afternoon that life at home
had become intolerable, on account Of
the persecution she was forced to en-
dure from her father, and that ten
days ago she had asked her lover, Ver-
Gugo, to run away with her.
After much urging, she says, he
agreed to do SO, and they went to San
Bernardino where they were regularly
married, she being over 18 years of age.
Verdugo is 3S.
When they came back today, she was
astounded to find her father causing
the arrest of her husband. on the
ground that she was only 15 years old.
Verdugo corroborated the statement
of his bride that she was of age. and
further complicated the situation by
charging Salgado is not Ramona's
father That person, ne says, lives In
Mexico. The police are inclined to
doubt this part Of his STORY.
Salgado today did not go into the
details of his case, but claimed he
would be able to substantiate his state
ment as to the girls age, and that he
had evidence to prove Verdugo had
forcibly abducted the girl against her
will, which is necessary to make out a
case of lsidnaping.

SONG OF SOLOMON TYPICAL
OF CHURCH'S PAST OF JOY
Love Song of Old Testament Is
Theme of Rev. w. D. Lands,
Pastor of WestIake
Church

Rev. w. D. Lands, pastor of the
Westlake Presbyterian church, yester-
day took his text from the Song of
Solomon 2:4: HE brought me to the
banqueting house; and his banner over
me was love-"
1.-THE Song of Solomon" he said, 'is
the love song of the Old Testament. A
girl is here singing of her lover, and the
words have always been considered
typical of the song the church feels
like singing of her Lord. Banquets
and feasts have been a vital part of
every nation. The Jews religion and
nation were moulded by them. This
was true of the Greeks as well, for the
Olympian, Pythian and Isthmian
games were open to all Greeks, and to
these the smaller states sent repre-
sentatives who had forgotten their ma
tion in all other things. They helped
to bind the nation together and to
show a marked difference from the
other peoples, called by them Bar
barians.
$50 the Lord has taken the figure
and woven 1t into the whole of the
Bible to show the Christians privilege.
"If there is one thing that banquet
stands for more than another 1t is JOY.
Who can be unhappy at banquet?
The music, the harps. the dancing and
the merriment mean joy must be
81 elled with large letters at a banquet.
A banquet means also provision for the
wants Of the persons present, the salts
faction of the appetites. SO God has
provided the things necessary for the
Christian both here and hereafter.
Here the girl turns the picture and
says that her lover will spread a ban
ner over her andHit will be love.
''She is describing the lovers affec-
ton for her and she means to say that
I0Wn Yrnfa0ffnn
may say of our Lord. His children, or
to carry on the figure of the bride, his
bride will need no walls to guard her
and keep her from the enemy and to
keep her close to him. His love will
protect her."

selves adequate reasons for asking
that the tariffs be readjusted Fig
ures were presented by the complain
ants showing that the gross earnings
of the defendant railroad company In
creased from S4,677,924 for the. fisca
year ending June 80, 1897, to $l1,'
913,135 for the year ending June 30
1906.
In the same length Of time receipts
from other sources increased from
$5O,5S0 to $783,138. Operating ex-
penses advanced from $2,779,O47 in
1897 to $5,S4O,S44 in 1906, while mel
earnings increased in the nine years
from s1,949,4 to s6,S55,534.
The earnings Of the company for
the same period were segregated as
follows: Freight earnings, $3,109,-
$50 to $8,17S,196, or an increase per
mile from $2593 to 1892; passenger,
mail, express earnings from $1,029,-

expended between 1897 and 1906 and
charged to operating expenses direct.
the following items: For mainten-
ance OF road and construction, s12,-

Allowing expenditures for insur-
ance. a depreciation fund and Other
items that were charged to profit and
loss Mr.. Teal declared that the COM
pany still had on hand enough money
to wipe out all of its bonds and near
ly all Of its preferred stock.
The strong point sought to be es-
tabished by the Chamber of Com
merce at the hearing of the complaint
which was held November 4 to last,
was notwithstanding the great in
crease in the company's surplus and
the decreased cost of operation, the
charges exacted for transportation of
merchandise and commodities of all
kinds under the distributive rates in
effect from Portland to points within
the state reached by the defendant
company's system had been reduced
only slightly and remained substan-
tally the same as they had been for
years. II was contended that the
company's object in maintaining its
excessive charges fas to return to the
corporation an unreasonable and un-
just profit upon the capital actually
invested.

LAST OF FAMOUS QUARTETTE.
"Cncle joe Cannon Only Survivor OF
Four Old Time OratOrs.


There have been in recent years
four speakers OF the house who made
themselves individually felt TO a
greater degree than other men who
have presided over the tumultuous
sessions of a lower branch of con-
gress, They were Schuyler Colfax.
James G. Blaine, Thomas b. Reed
and Joseph G. Cannon. says Ray
mond in the Chicago Tribune.
II is only a coincidence that two of
these men came from Maine, and
two, originally at least, from Indiana.
Mr.. Cannon is the oldest of the lot
1t took him longer to reach the ze-
NTH In the house than 1t did the 9TH
er men. Perhaps for that reason he
is more firmly seated in the regard
of the people than they were.
may recall the fact that no one of
the three preceding great republican
speakers of the house achieved the
presidency, although each asplred to
H. II uOto uON lOllOW lhdl bhG last
of the quartet must also be among
the list of those illustrious Americans
who are, as was said of Henry Clay,
too big to be president"
Those who study out American de-
velopment at first hand are generally
agreed that Speaker Cannon is per-
haps the last notable survivor of a
peculiar development of American
life He belongs to the generation Of
Lincoln and that type of public men
who began life in the country, Injured
to the hardest kind of physical toll
and with the homliest surroundings,
and yet who have driven themselves
to the forefront of social and political
life by their native intellectual
strength in spite of an individuality
which in the courts of Europe might
be considered almost uncouth.
