SAYS BUSINESS COLLEGE BOYS
WE'RE OUTCLASSED.

St. Cloud Times. 10: The basket
ball team OF the Little Falls Business
College went down to defeat before the
st. Cloud City team IN fine game
Friday evening at the skating rink by
the score of 80 to 10. It was a fine
game from start to finish and both
sides played clean ball There was a
good attendance. All the members OF
the st. Cloud aggregation put forth
their best efforts. The team work of
the Little Falls players was at fault,
though they put up snappy and swift
game. The local players and the
audience say that the visitors were a
gentlemanly bunch and they will be
pleased to met them again. 1t is
probable that the st. Cloud players
will go to Little Falls the middle OF
next month tor a double header, one
game with their opponents of last
night and another with the city team
Of that place.

St. Cloud Times: Billy Rash, the
big Sartell pitcher. was defeated in tie
wrestling match with Ray Christensen
OF Marshall at the roller rink Wednes-
day evening, his opponent getting the
first two falls.
The popularity of the Sartell man
drew a big crowd who were with
their man from the start and showed
their good will for him even at the
finish. Christensen tugged for 45
minutes before he had his opponent
down. Then he secured a hammerlock
on Rasch and the latter acknowledged
a fall The second time Rasch went
down In 20 minutes on. the same kind
Of hold and Christensen was declared
the winner by 2 George Lynch ofthe
Normal: who referred the bout. = -
Rasch showed that he, had good
experience in the game and when on
his feet proved that he was Christen:
son equal, but when he got on the
mat the other mans practice during
the two years showed up and victory
came more easily All who witnessed
the bout are proud OF the showing
Billy made, though he was defeated.

is stated that the star Of Bethlehem
can now be seen in the heavens, BY
anyone who will rise early enough IN
the morning. The star, which Is I'M

where it was discovered about ten
days ago. It now makes it's ap-

of Bethlehem which 1909 years ago

only at intervals of 500 years. SO you
had better look for it while it is in

DRUSnIERs TO AID TAFT.

Activity among commercial travel
ers in the campaign for the election
of Taft and Sherman is now showing
itself and promises to be a very pc.
tent factor in vote getting. 1t will
be undertaken in an organized way
by the Commercial Travellers Sound
Money League, whose slogan is Taft
and Sherman and the continuance OF
prosperity" The league was the first
society of the kind to inaugurate the
system of MONDAY meetings, which
it did in New York City in 1896. 1t
claims upward of 100000 members,
about $4,000 of whom come from
New York houses.
Colonel John L. Shepherd. chair
man of the Executive committee of
the jewelers. Association, is the pres
ident of the league. Other prominent
members are General Joseph w.
Congdon, president of the Central
Dry Goods Associations; George F.
Victor, one of the largest importers
and exporters In America; William
e. Webb, of the firm of James H.
Durham & Co.; Walter Scott, of the
firm of Butler Brothers & Co., and I.
L. Hall. Jonas Langfeld is vice-pres-
ident of the league.

WHAT THE BRYAN
BLIGHT WOULD MEAN

While I was on the Ways and
Means Committee, said Bryan, in a
recent speech in Delaware, "every
man who came there was a tax-eateT
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 has
evidently not changed the views
which he held out and expressed be-
fore he was a 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 he
is not entitled; that he is, as Bryan
put it years ago, a public beggar,
and as hes put it a few days ago a
"tax-eater.
The "tax-eaters" and public beg
CARS" as Mr.. Bryan calls them, are
quite numerous. 1t may be said that
the terms apply truthfully to all the
people of the United States, If bene-
fciaries of the protective tariff are to
be included in Bryan's description.
No class is more benefited by protec-
ton than the farmer, for whom pro-
lection has created home markets,
raised the prices of his stock and
produce, and prevented free trade
with what he has to sell.
The difference between the attitude
Milford chronicle., 1908-10-02

of the Republican party, with Taft
and Sherman as it's candidates, on the
one hand, and Bryan and those Demo-
Gratis who support him, on the other,
is that the Republican party proposes
to revise the tariff without damaging
American industry, and Bryan pro-
poses to smash the tariff, without
caring what trouble he causes, how
many millions he deprives of a living,
what blight and desOlation he brings
upon the farm, the factory, the work
shop, upon all the various activities
which keep the American people busy,
self-supporting and Independent. We
have had a taste before of the Bryan
blight, when the Democracy was in
power fourteen years ago, and when
the third of November arrives it will
be found that Americans do not want
any more of 1t. The election of Taft
and Sherman to be President and
Vice-President of the United States
will be assurance that the Nation is
not to be blighted by Organism and
his free trade, ndustry-smashing
program, and that the United States
will march on to new and greater
prosperity under the guidance of
statesman whose public career has
proven him to be thoroughly capable
of administering national affairs in
general with the same ability, fidelity
and success with which he has admin
istered the important share of those
affairs committed to his charge in the
past
Milford chronicle., 1908-10-02
THE FRIAR 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 mower abuses
crept in, until in the latter DAYS of the
Spanish occupation the friars had re-
duced millions of Filipinos to a state
amounting to vassalage, practicing
excessive extortions upon them in the
name Of the church, mistreating them
hagrantly 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
machinery of his town.
They were loath to believe Mr.. Taft
Milford chronicle., 1908-10-02

that made him so conSpicuously use
full and successful in the many diff
cult administrative problems he was
called upon to solve.
1t was a distinct sacrifice he made
when President Mckinley took him
from a life position that he enjoyed,
and that was in line of his dearest
hopes, to lay upon him the burden of
establishing peace and order in the
Philippines. The judgment, tact and
skill with which he carried on that
great task; the candid diplomacy with
which he smoothed away perplexing
obstacles; the unselfish dew ion with
which he has upheld the .Cerests of
those far-away people in the face of
Indifference at home, were an honor
to the Nation. The same qualities of
a wise adjudicator have been repeat
eddy at the service of the country.
In Cuba, in Panama, in Japan, it has
been necessary only to send for Taft

Milford chronicle., 1908-10-02
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 PGbllc 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-
Gated for the bar; early became a
judge; the whole trend of his thought
and of his ambition has been in the
line of the Judiciary, and his in
grained judicial temperament it was
