TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND.

overrules Washington Monument
Regulation for Benefit Of the
Sightless.
The kind heartedness Of Mr.. Taft
and his sincere, common sense sym
pathy with the unfortunates in this
world has just been brought to the at
tention of the blind in peculiar way.
Away up In the top of the Washing
ton monument, where thousands 30 to

capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in
stitute, which seeks to make 1t posi-
BILE for the adult blind Of the United
States to rise above conditions of de-
pendence by becoming self sustaining,
placed on sale souvenir post cards
manufactured by its blind. Some SEN
timeDtal persons took the view that
this was undignined and succeeded in
having the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds order the cards
removed. F. IL. cleveland, principal
of the institute, appealed to Mr.. Taft,
then secretary Of war and within
whose Jurisdiction came the office Of
public buildings and grounds. 1t took
only few words to convince the Soc
rotary that the blind should have the
benefit Of this privilege, and tho cards
were again placed on sale In the mon
ument
For this action" said Principal
Clea veland in discussing the incident,
"Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude Of
every blind person, particularly the
progressive blind, who are striving to
help their less fortunate fellows"

TAFT'S RELIGION.

Upon His Record Of Private Con.
duct and Public Service.
To dispose Of questions which should
not be asked as speedily as possible let
us say that Mr. Taft is member Of
the Unitarian church. That was the
church Of bis parents and he has never
separated himself from It, His wife,
however, is an Episcopalian, and he
CHURCH.
These are the facts which are utter
~ and absolutely unimportant The
matter of a mans religion has no right
full place in consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
81 the nation, ordained and esta blished
ito secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity,' expressly
places the very suggestion OF such
thought outside the pale of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
-com our country's fundamental law,
mo religious test ever shall be re-
quired as qualification to any Office
or public trust under the United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr..
Taft's religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
clean record of private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Salts detriment they display
ed their willingness to descend to any
depth Of petty, cowardly, contemplate
attack that might do him harm

Crcsot Plant in Operation.

What has been termed the "tim-
Der picking plant" of the govern
ment at Englewood, where timbers
to be used in mining are given a
course of treatment with the idea
in view of adding to the life of the
wood, is now in full operation.
There has been considerable delay in
getting it in shape for business and
for some time past nothing but
lumber has been treated. Recently
however, timber destined for the
mines hereabouts has been picked
and, it is stated, with good results.
From this time forward it is ex-
pected that the plant will be operat-
ed to It's fullest apacity.-Dead-

(William II. Taft in his speech Of ac-
ceptance.l


We come now to the question of Ia
Dor. One important phase of the poll
cies of the present administration has
been al anxiety to secure for the wage
Garner an equality of opportunity and
such positive statutory protection as
shall place him on level in dealing
with his employer.
The Republican party has passed an
employers liability act for Interstate
railroads. and has established an eight
on government construction. The es-
sence of the reform effected by the for
mer is the abolition Of the felow-ser-
want rule and the Introduction of the
comparative negligence theory by
which an employee injured in the service
OF his employer does not lose all his
right to recover because of slight ncgi-
Eence on his part.
Then there is the act providing for
compensation for injury to government
employees, together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances
upon Interstate commerce railroads for
the protection Of their employees and
limiting the hours Of their employment
These are all instances OF the desire
CT the Republican party to do justice to
the wage-e;. .ners.
Doubtless more comprehensive
measure for compensation of govern
ment employees will be adopted In the
future; the principle in such cases has
been recognized and In the necessarily
somewhat slow course of legislation
will be more fully embodied In definite
statutes.
The interests OF the employer and the
employe never differ except when it
comes to division of the joint profit
Of labor and capital into dividends and
wages. This must be constant source
Of periodical discussion between the
employer and the employee, us indeed
are the other terms Of the employment.
10 give to employees their proper po-
sitlon In such controversy, to enable
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they
may well unite, because IN union there
is strength, and without it, each indi-
vidual laborer and employe would be
helpless. Tie promotion of the indus
trial peace through the instrumentality
Of the trade agreement is often one of
the results Of such union when intelli-
gently conducted
There is a large body Of lnborers
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of the union men, and are to be
protected with the same care and
watchfulness
In order to induce their employer
into compliance with their request
for changed terms OF employment
workmen have the right to strike In
body.
They have right to use such per-
suasion as they may, provided it does
not reach the point OF duress, to lead
their reluctant co-laborers to join them
In their union against their employer.
and they have a right, If they choose,
to accumulate funds to support those
engaged In strike, to delegate to Of
ticers the power to direct the action Of
the union, and to withdraw themselves
and their associates frop dealings with
or giving custom to those with whom
they are in controversy.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Result Of Victory Indicates Undi-
minished Majorities for Republi-
cans In November.

@@0SoAt OK VICTORY Auo1Cat6S Ouol-
minished Majorities for Republi-
cans In November.
Raymond, the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Chicago Tribune, who
IL regarded a. one Of the most reliable
political writer's in the country, regards
the result OF the Vermont election as
presaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft.
In recent special dispatch to the
Tribune Raymond said:
practically speaking, the result of
Tuesdays election Is more favorable to
the Republicans than they had any
right to expect, because there has been
NJ determined campaign for the purpose
OF making good showing in Vermont
and few Of the big guns of the party
have been put on the stump there this
year
There is, Of course, a slight falling
OF In the vote Of both Republicans and
Democrats, as compared with four
years ago, but this was entirely to be
expected, because ut that time Roose-
welt was the nominee Of his party for
president, and the result in Vermont In
that year WAS merely forerunner of
tie tremendous landslide which took
place III! over the country.
AS 1t is, the plurality Of over $4,000
at yesterdays election is taken to be
an Indication that, while the campaign
this year is not to be sensa tional one,
the election Of Mr.. Taft Is foresha dowed
by safe majority.
IF Vermont can be taken as an In
dex Of the condition of public opinion
throughout the country it means that
in the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de.
velops In the other States will come
almost exclusively from Bryan and not
from Taft
1.-THE Vermont Democrats, while few
IN number, are extremely rockribbed in
their sentiments. They make point Of
going to the polls year after year and
carry on hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want to set good example
to the Democrats in other States. In
1895 they repudlated Bryan and the free
silver heresy, and they did it largely
by staying at homo on election day.
The result was plurality of little
over 10000 for Mckinley which has
been a record in Vermont elections. In
the State elections Of 1900 and 1904
the Democratic vote was practically
stationary"

great turbine steamer, Mauritania,
with all her cabins filled with
frightened passengers rolled and
pitched helplessly in mid-ocean with
waves constantly breaking over her

hours before but had kept under
Roadway until one OF her propeller
blades flew OF with a crash that
alarmed nearly everyone aboard.
The compartment adjoining the pro-
