SPEECHES Am SPEECHES.
columbus Ledger

There is one thing about the
democratic candidate, says the Am
CIRCUS Times Recorder, "he is oc-
cupying about three times as much
space in the newspapers as Taft"
Quite SO. And there is still an
other thing about the democrats
candidate that is noticeable. Where
ever he goes and speaks he says such
things he is willing for the people
o fthe entire country to hear Mr.
Bryan does not have one thing to
to say to one class of people and a
different thing to say to another. He
is the same to all. He believes in the
principle of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, and
he doesn't hesitate to say so wherever
he speaks. He does not dodge the
issues. AS a result his speeches are
quoted in the newspapers. He fur
nishes a copy in advance so that it
may be sent out if the papers want
it
But it is different with Mr.. Taft.
The republican candidate isn't say
ing anything for publication if the
columns of the newspapers are any
indication. The presumption is,
therefore, that he has a speech to
suit the crowd. The woolgrowers
hear what they want to hear and the
manufacturer of wooden goods does
MT know it and when he speaks to
the manufacturer the woolgroweI
doesn't hear. And so it goes. Quite
slick scheme isn't it?

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.
(Pittsburg Dispatch to New York
Evening Post)

Evening Post)
No attention whatever is being paid
here to the promise which gossip al
leges certain establishments to have
made, that the election of Mr.. Taft
will be followed by more work. 1t
is only natural to suppose that some
business is being held back on ac-
count of the presidential campaign,
but it is also likely that recuperation
will in any case be slow and hating
during. the next six months.
There are favorable features in
the outlook. One is that stocks i'll
jobbers hands are really low. But
the ease with which orders can be
filled is itself an argument against
carrying large supplies, and it seems
reasonably certain now that operat-
ing capacity of the mills hereabouts
will not be more than so per cent to
the end of the year.
Yet it is fair to say that the feeling
of Pittsburg manufacturers is this
week rather more optimistic over
the business outlook. The iron and
steel industry taken as a whole, is
still not operating much over so per
cent of the maximum and the volume
of new orders is generally conceded
as small.
Specifications against old contracts
have been comparatively fair, how
ever, and this largely accounts for
the recent moderate increase in the
operation of the larger mills, like
Duquesne, Homestead, Ohio Steel and
Illinois Steel, of the Steel corpora
ton, and the. larger Independents
Competition for new business, on the
other hand, is so taken that sales
departments of the various operating
companies make every effort to Sc
cure the tonnage offering AS re-
suit, prices are being shaded, not
only by the Independents, but by
subsidiaries of the Steel Corporation
Pittsburg feels that the increased
use of rolling stock marks the nearer
approach of new orders for equip.
ment. Most companies in the Pitts.
burg district report slightly larger
orders for repair parts but new
business is limited.

WOMAN FILES SPICY ANSWER
Anna Reinhardt Contests Suit to Sc

Anna Reinhardt, claiming to have

leaving her $1,000, will contest the eff
fort that is being made to secure a
portion of the property for Adrian Pin
tro, Jr., alleged to be the child of the
deceased.
In an answer to the action brought
by j. w. Mckinney, as guardiank ad
Item for the child, filed yesterday,
there are some interesting disclosures.
1t is claimed that the child is part
negro and that PintrO was not its
father. The mother of the youngster is
a French woman, known as Gabrielle
Belmont, although she calls herself
Louise Eugenia Gardin de Classe
Countess of France" The answer sets
forth that she is a notorious woman
known long before the child was born
as Gabriel Belmont.
Part of the answer is as follows;
The said boy now claiming to be
the son of said Adrian Pintro has his
lineage from the Ethiopian race of
man and from the division thereof call
ed Negro, and has all the markings and
characteristics of a negro. The said
Adrian PintTO had his lineage from the
Caucasian race of man and from the
division thereof called Celt, being a
native of France, and without any
faint or admiXture of Ethiopian blood"
