MIR. Taffs Marvellous Methods.

Mr.. Taft's methods of work
have always been a marvel to
those who have been in close
official association with him.
He turns from one task to an.
other with the utmost facility,
allows himself to be interrupt ed
Eon trivial pretexts while immersed
in consideration of important
matters, and seemingly never
wastes a minute, with it all keep
ing unruffied and good natured.
He was at his desk in the War
Department up to the very
second Of his start to the Philip
pines in 1905. When but twenty
minutes remained in which to
catch the train he was notified
but continued to sign papers.
"Only fifteen minutes. said
his secretary.
"All right" replied Mr.. Taft,
dipping his pen freshly into the
ink.
"Five minutes" urged the
secretary.
"All right" was Mr.. Taft's
response, seizing another docu-
ment.
Six minutes later the secretary
said he thought that Mr.. Taft
had missed the train.
"All right" said Mr.. Taft,
sliding into his coat, "we'll go
and see."
Mr.. Taft was busy with his
papers in the carriage IS it dash
ed to the depot, where the tram
had been kept waiting for twenty
minutes.
" thought it would wait"
commented Mr.. Taft, as he
climbed aboard. at is better
that we should keep a train wait
ing than the business of the
United States should be delayed
because a few papers weren't
signed"

Mrs. Taft in the White House.

Mrs. VIM. II. Taft will move
amid familiar scenes when she
becomes the first lady Of the land
and is at the head OF the White
House meuage. Mrs, Taft is a
daughter of John w, Heron,
who was law partner Of former
President Rutherford y. Hayes.
The Hayes and Heron families
were closely connected by ties Of
friendship, and to Miss Heron,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes were Away
"Uncle" and Aunt" Miss
Heron spent many of her holi-
days from school with the Hayes
in the White Housa. II a recent
conversation Mrs. Taft said:
Nothing in my life exceeds the

climax of human bliss which /
felt as girl of sixteen when
was first entertained at the
White House. The thing that
seemed remarkable to me was
that although the Hayes occu-
pied the most exalted position in
the land, they were just as they
had been in Ohio. They were NJ

stand it, then, for ] supposed, of
course, that their manners must

White House, to be in keeping

larger portion Of its plant In idle
ness? Or suppose a concern controls
100 per cent of the trade in some arti-
Gle, what plants shall Il retain? 1t
can produce nothing until others pro.
duce; but IL may produce an amount
equal to the production of others. and
1t hopes the trade will grow. What a
vision of business uncertainty and con.
fusion, OF idle and impaired plants, Of
the ruin of worklngmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con
tinued efficiency, is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction of
trusts
Apart from this, II the dissolution
were effected In the manner desired
and portions of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested, to whom
would the sale be made? Would II be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi-
tious to be competitors and anxious to
take advantage Of its plight?
This proposal In its utter disregard
VI the facts of business, in its substi-
tuition Of the phantasies of the imagln-
alton for the realities of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fatal
stamp of 1896. The commerce and in
dustry of this country, the interests of
its wage earners and Of its interdepend-
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability of business cannot afford to
give license to such vagaries.
In the solemnity with which this
proposal has been declared, and the in
sistence with which it Is advocated, we
find an appropriate test Of the capacity
of our opponents to deal wisely with
the problems of the day.

That is how Judge J. S. Ben
jamin found that our people
would vote in Broken Bow after
making a careful canvass of the
business section of the city. In
his rounds he only run across one
Republican who said he was
going to vote for Bryan, and
when pressed for a reason, the
only one this man could give
was Because Bryan lived in
Nebraska " 1t is poor reason
and as the man is pretty

him to change his mind and vote
for Taft after he considers this
question more thoroughly.

AN IMPRACTICABLE DEMOCRATIC
PROPOSITION FOR TRUST
CONTROL.
FROM SPEECH BY GOVERNOR HUGHES
Convincing Exposition of Fallacy of
Bryan's Panacea For Solving
Problems of Modern
Business.

When we consider remedies that are
proposed for the trusts, we find our
selves journeying in land Of dreams.
Again the magician Of 1886 waves his
wand. At a stroke difficulties disap-
pear and the complex problems Of mod
ern business are forgotten in the fas-
cination of the simple panacea. And,
ratio Of 16 to l was to destroy the
curse Of gold, so the new found specific
Of equal perfection is to remove the
curse of Industrial oppression. The de-
lusion of 1908 Is comparable only to
that of twelve years ago.
The first suggestion Is that the law
should prevent duplication of d.
rectors among competing corporations.
However advisable 1t may be to have
independent directorates Of competing
corporations, It would seem still more
important to have Independent stock
holders, for majority Of the stock
holders of corporation choose the di-
rectors. II a law were passed pre-
venting the duplication of directors 1t
would easily be evaded in the selection
Of men who would represent the same
interests. The most ordinary exper-
ience shows that it is not necessary to
serve on a board of directors in order
to control its proceedings. Whatever
the advantage Of such law as Is pro-
posed, it hardly rises to the dignity Of
n lxy Nv ataa DC 30
place In an imposing scheme Of reform
outlined IN a national platform.
But the more important proposal Is
'that any manufacturing or trading
corporation engaged in Interstate COM
merce shall be required to take out
federal license before 1t shall be per-
mitted to control as much as 25 per
cent Of the product In which 1t deals"
A license is permission, and the object
Of the remedy is not to regulate large
businesses, but to destroy trusts. Hence
the supposed efficiency Of the plan is to
be found in the prohibition Of the con-
troll by any such corporation "of more
than 80 per cent Of the total amount of
any product consumed in the United
States" This is another delusion of
ratio.
1t might be interesting to inquire
what is the meaning of "any product
consumed In the United States" Does
1t refer to class of commodities?
And, II so, how shall the classes be de-
fined? Or does 1t refer to each sepa-
rate article of commerce.? And, If so,
what account does this proposal take
