TAFT DECISIONS
BASIS FOR UNIONS
Candidate for President Tells
Of His Labor Record
In Ohio.
TARIFF is A PROTECTION.
SPEAKS OF CONDITIONS OF la
BORER WHEN THERE WAS NO
PROTECTIVE TARIFF-PAYS RE-
SPEcTS TO DEBS.

East Liverpool, o., Oct. 14.-In the
midst of the steel and iron district of
Cleveland, William H. Taft command
ed the closest attention of an immense
audience in what is proverbially re-
garded as the hardest place in the state
of Ohio for a political speaker to OBJ
tain a respectful hearing. The details
of conditions were not known to the
candidate but a half hour before he
reached the city. The immense tent in
which the meeting was held was reach
ed by a four-mile automobile ride
through Cleveland and the audience pa
tiently waited the half-hour delay caus-
ed by the lateness of the candidates
train. When Mr.. Taft appeared he was
warmly welcomed.
He began at once to talk with that
earnestness which caused implicit at
tention. He showed from his view
point why it was that the American
workman needs the protection of the
tariff, and what has been the result
Mr.. Taft followed this with detailed
account of his own personal expert
ence with the labor world. He ex-
planned that the decisions he had rend-
cred while on the bench, and for which
he was now condemned by Bryan and
Gompers, were in reality the legal basis
of labor organizations of the present
hod
grown and prospered until today they
were stronger than ever.
Effective Meeting.
This meeting Mr.. Taft considers the
most effective he has had on his pres
ent trip because of the character of
the audience, it's known Democratic
and Socialistic tendencies and the sue
cess he had in riveting attention.
Respects to Debs.
At Lorain a cheer for Debs when the
candidate mentioned his name in con-
nection with the union cases he had
handled while on the bench inspired
Mr.. Taft to pay his compliments to
Debs as a presidential candidate.
Mr.. Debs is a Socialist" he said
when the applause died out. Mr.. Debs
is logical. He is opposed to the institu-
lions of this country as they have been
established by the constitution. He
has a right to be If he chooses. provid-
ed he accomplishes his methods by
legal and nonviolent ways. Therefore,
am not going to criticise Ar. Debs."
In Cleveland after Mr.. Taft had re-
viewed his labor record at length. with
an illustration of what he had to do
with helping to build up labor organi-
cations in the Philippines and his adj
ministration in connection with the
Panama canal, where he had much to
do with the unions, he smiling recalled

SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER
COMPANY ADVISES CITY OFF,
GALS TO ACT FAvoRAelY,
POINTING OUT RESULTS.

Superintendent Howard Dill of the
Richmond City Water Works company
appeared before the board of public
works this morning I'm connection with
the proposed extension of the water
works main on South Eleventh street.
Mr.. Dill advised the board to extend
the water mains and stated that
where this had been done in the past.
residences soon were erected as the
result.
1t was new proposition the super
intndent placed before the board and
one that will receive consideration.
Under the agreement between the city
and waterworks company. the mains
are extended 500 feet or more at
time and the city thereupon instaIls
hydrant at each interval of 500 feet.
Residents of South Eleventh street.
south of r street, have petitioned the
board for an extension of the mains.
The board does not known how for to
run the mains and If any extension
would be advisable, because OF the
scarcity of houses.
Mr.. Dill claimed the houses follow
the water mains. He advised the
mains be extended and houses will
follow. He said the same has been
demonstrated as the truth by past ex-
perience. He pointed to an example
in West Richmond. There was a
large number of vacant lots and the
owner could not sell them There
was no water main nor fire protection.
The owner became instrumental in
securing the extension of the main
and now sixty-seven lots have been
sold in that one section and on almost
every lot house has been built
1t was argued in favor of the ex-
tension of the mains that an induce
ment is offered to builders. which
!, pays the city. In the first place the
city pays for the extension but when
the houses are built on the vacant
lots the additional remune ration in
the way of taxes more than offsets
the expense to which the city is plac-
ed originally.

shocked my friend exceedingly.
The company then sat down to

not last very long and ended in the
bride performing a Jig on the table.
while the guests danced around her.
They then started games. hide and

had his back turned the bride threw
her arms round the neck OF a red hair

This led to a fight between the two.
The melee became general. the bride

Best Place to Plant Them If They

A seasoned Wall street campaigner
condenses 4 life of practical observa-
ton in the remark: Stock market
tips are. as a rule, founded on moth
ing better than guesswork or pure in
vention. Although usually without
value, openly peddled out to the pub
lie and not possible to trace to any
reliable source, they come clothed in
such garb Of mystery and apparent
Importance that there are always a lot
Of Ill informed persons who will ac-
pei truth.
"Often these so called tips are but
the whispered suggestions of some ma
nipulator who was confident that his
mysterious, semiconfidential hint would
travel and be made the basis of large
buying of some stock he was especial
~ anxious should be largely sold.
"It Is told of one great speculative
magnate of the past generation that
of rich and fashionable Fifth avenue
church In search of means by which
he could become suddenly rich he put
his lips close to the clerical ear and
whispered: Buy Pacific Mail It's a
sure thing. If you lose on it I'll make
good your losses
THE pastor departed gleefully. Some
two weeks later he called at the Office
Of the manipulation and deplored the
great financial losses he had incurred
in following the confidential tip
How much were theyT asked Mr. G.,
and on being told he drew his personal
check for the amount
The minister took it and after ex-
pressing his thanks hesitated a mo-
ment and then said: But how about
my parishioners? You placed no ban
Of secrecy on me, and their losses have
been enormous
THE financier smiled grimly as he
remarked. You see. doctor, those were

On July "a, after news of military

agricultural appropriation bill was
under consideration in Committee Of

ley, of Kentucky, got the floor and
proceeded TO reply to very able
speech by Mr.. Dalzell, some time
earlier, in which the accomplished
statesman from Pennsylvania under
took to contrast Alexander Hamilton
and Thomas Jefferson, much to the
disparagement of the latter, and
much to the credit of the former.
Mr.. Dalzell got his history of the
