BISHOP URGES METHoD1sTs
TO CAST VOTES FOR TAFT.
Church Head in Southern Asia Says
Republicans Are Material Aid to

Republicans Are Material Aid to
Christianity in the Philippines.
Bishop w. +. Oldham, head Of the
Methodist Episcopal church in South
ern Asia, residing in Singapore, I'D.
dressed Chicago Methodist ministers
yesterday morning i'm the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Washington and
Clark streets, and made an eloquent
plea to those present to do what they
can to prevent a change in the admin
istration in the Philippines. To do this.
he said, 1t would be incumbent upon
them to stand by the party in power.
DO not subject us to demagogic ex.
periments in the Philippines" said he.
Every missionary i'll the islands is add
ing his plea to mine. Our missionaries
are giving their life to the work and
the wonderful progress they have made
in the last four years, during which the
membership in the Methodist church
has increased from 1000 to 2S,00O,
shows the beneficial effect of the adj
mnistration, as directed at present.
If the candidate of one party is the
peerless one,' the leader of the other
is the fearless one and we want the
fearless one. The presence OF old glory
has had much to do with our success in
the Philippines, where we have made
more converts in the last four years
than we have in the entire Chinese en-
pire in tWenty-four years."

Why tho worker. support Taft.

1t is noticed that large majority
OF the labor union leaders who are do.
ing any talking in the campaign are
praising Mr.. Taft and are promising
to vote for him. In all his addresses
to workers-and he has made many of
them-Mr. Taft has made an excellent
impression. He is now travelling
through region covering Ohio, West
Virginia and New Jersey in which the
labor unions are particularly strong,
but everywhere he is meeting with a
very cordial greeting. He is getting so
many tributes from labor union chiefs
that the Democrats are resorting to
their old cry of bribery. Louis

ORDERS IF TAFT IS ELECTED.
Travelling Man Says He Has Taken
Many Such in the Last Few
Weeks

Weeks.
Talk to the effect that the travelling
men, or any considerable proportion of
them, will vote this year for Bryan is
tommyrot,' declared L. r. Travis of
Kansas City in the lobby of the Loyal
Hotel, at Omaha. "lf Bryan gets 20
per cent of the commercial travellers
vote he will do a good deal better than
expect. Practically all the men in our
line are Republicans in the first place
and believe in Republican principles.
In the second place, all of them know
full well that they will get precious few
orders if Bryan should win. This is
not so much because Mr.. Bryan could
do any great harm himself, for he could
carry none of his wild schemes into
effect, but because business men are SO
afraid of him.
IF he, by any miracle, should get in
things would shut down absolutely for
a year. Everyone would be afraid of
his neighbor; would think, and think
rightly, that Brown and Smith and
Jones would be afraid. 1t is exactly
the same principle that causes runs on
bank. Many intelligent depositors are
not afraid of the bank which has ample
resources, but they are afraid that their
fellow depositors will be afraid and SO
they hurry down to get in line.
II have had many orders lately SUBJ
ject to Tafts election. This was pure
business contract and not designed to
influence me. People simply won't be
able to swing the goods if Bryan is the
victor This is not politics. 1t is bust

Why Taft Went south.

II am going south to make few
speeches-one in Kentucky, one in Ten
nessee, one in North Carolina, one in
Virginia and one in Maryland-not so
much with view to carrying those
states as to show the people down there
that, no matter what they think, they
are Il part of the Union, and, being a
part of the Union, they ought to vote
for the Republican party. voting for
which will make them part of the ma
ton and give to them that influence
which people Of their intelligence and
energy and progress and enterprise
ought to enjoy" William H. Taft.

Publicity Under su,nicion

The list of contributions of 500 and
more to the Democratic campaign fund,
published with SO much ostentation at
the request of Mr.. Bryan, has no afti-
davit attached to it. Neither Chairman
Mack nor Treasurer Ridder was sworn
nor. for the matter of that, ex-Treas-
urer Haskell, who turned in some col
lecticns before he was made to walk the
PLANK. Therefore the list may not he
complete. and as published it is cer-
tainly not compromising unless the ST.
600 check of Charles j. Hughes, a lead
ing corporation attorney of Denver,
should put Mr.. Bryan on the defensive.

Hughes Not Hurt by Bryan.

MI Bryan does not appear to advan.
tage in aSsailing Governor Hughes for
his veto of the two-cent fare bill. He
insinuates that this is evidence Of the
governors strong leaning to the side Of
the corporations as against the people,
while as matter of fact it is nothing
of the kind. The two-cent fare bill
was vetoed simply because the s-ote
was adopting the policy Of railroad rate
regulation through commissions with
mandatory powers. 1t would have been
the height of inconsistency to create
commissions to regulate fares and then
have the legislature itself and at the
same time assume the Junction.

High Price. ana the Farmer.

1t is related that Nebraska farmer
who complained that reaper cost
$40 more than in 1876 was reminded
by the storekeeper that he paid for
the old reaper with 600 bushels OF
corn at 10 cents bushe The mer-
chant said: IF you will bring me 600
bushels of corn now | will give you a
reaper, a surrey for your wife and SGD
in cash The farmer admitted that
there must be prosperity somewhere

To Learn the Truth.

If any one doubts that detection from
Bryan is general, let him talk with
his Democratic friends. Whether they
are employers or employed, large per-
centage Of them will be found of the
opinion that the country does not want
a President who declares that what
Roosevelt has done to establish inter
ests is as nothing compared with what
he will do. Those who are employers
or professional men want business.

Furnish Accident Statistics.

Applications Of dependents for COM
pensation in case of the death of an
employe from accidental injury must
be made within 90 days after such
death. The records of the application
OF this act will furnish valuable ma
terial for statistics of accidents, which.
for this country are quite meager. In
order to make the statistics more com
plete and valuable, reports of all acct
dental injuries To government employees,
regardless of the application of this act,
have been requested from all govern
ment establishments and Offices. AS the
number Of United States government
empoNes exceeds 100000. these statis.
tics Will prove of great scientific value
and practical use in The future.

FAILURES NOT UNEXPECTED.
Bank Examiners in Charge Of Closed
New York Banks.

NEW YORK. January 3O-Bank exam
iners took active charge today Of the af-
fairs OF the New Amsterdam National
Bank and the Mechanics and Traders
Bank. state institution, both Of which
closed their doors yesterday. Both of
these banks were included in the Morse
Heinze-Thomas chain Of banks. and after
the closing of the National Bank Of North
America few days ago there had been
what practically amounted to runs upon
them. Both of them were still unable to
take UP their allotment of the certificates
which the clearing house issued during
the stringency beginning In October. and
when the renewed drain upon their re-
sources began the clearing house author
tiles declined to further extend their
credit. Fearing heavier Withdrawals to-
day, the officials Of both banks decided
last night to close their doors today.
Although this action was not unexpect-
ed among the bankers and we'll informed
men in the financial world. it found many
Of the depositors unprepared and caused
them much Inconvenience.
AS result Of the closing of these banks
several others not in the important class
met heavy Withdrawals OF deposits this
morning. One of these was the Oriental
Bank. where quite run of depositors be-
gan as soon as the office was opened for
business today. All depositors were paid
promptly and President Hugh Kelly an
nounced that twelve other institutions had
come to the aid of the bank and that he
hoped to be able to withstand the d~ain.
1t is not anticipated that the closing OF
the New Amsterdam and Mechanics and
Traders banks will have any effect upon
the genera. banking situation in this city,
as both Of them have been going through
gradual liquidation for the last Few
months in which their debts and GREATS
have been gradually reduced. State Super
i1tendent Of Banks Williams. who came
down from Albany last night to take
charge of the Mechanics and Traders
Bank, said today that the general con-
dition Of banking institutions In this city
Is that weakness has developed only IN
special instances.
Depositors thronged the office OF the
Oriental Bank during the forenoon. The
banking rooms are comparatively small,
and before / o'clock the line before the
te.ler's window could no longer be &C
commodated within doors. but extended
out on Broadway and around the corner
into John street About twenty-five de-
positors stood in line in the street at
o'clock shivering in the cold.
The following statement was made to-
day by Manager Sherer of the New YORK
Clearing House:
There are outstanding s5,5JO.OO0 clear
ing house loan certificates. which are
amply secured. These certificates are
for the account Of the Mechanics and
Traders Bank, the National Bank OF
North America, the Oriental Bank and
the New Amsterdam National Bank. The
Oriental Bank had debit at the clearing
house this morning of 100000, which was
met. No extraordinary action was taken
at the clearing house meeting this morn

zens' Association in which protest is
made against the payment Of 81 500. 900
to the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company ty the
government for the old Baltimore and
Potomac railroad station. The :.ssocia-
tion contends that the railroad has not

the property as set forth by the acts Of
Congress Of February II, 1901; Fepru-
ary 2S. 1903, and Of February IS. 1907
whereby there are set forth three neces-
sary conditions to be fulfilled by the
railroad before the sale OF the property
to the government can be completed at
the price named.
1t is also claimed that the elimination
Of the grade crossings leading to the

fected. and 1t is for this purpose that
the East Washington Citizens >,ssoeia-
ton has written to the Commtss. .oners

Commander-in-chief Walter s. Hale Of
the United Spanish War Veterans has
sent to the national officers of the or
ganization In this city an announcement
calling attention to the fact that Febru-
airy Is. 1908. is the tenth anniversary of
the destruction Of the United States bat

take steps to have appropriate memorial
exercises held In churches or public halls.

date or the Sunday nearest thereto. in
honor of the comrades who lost their lives
at that time.
In this connection steps have already
been taken by the four garrisons of the
Army and Navy Union in this city to
hold Maine memorial services at G. A. r.
Hall the evening of February Is. and
Gen. Andrew S. Burt, U.S.A., has ap-
pointed committees OF arrangements.
