"'Gives Men Work. F"

Editor The Labor Argus Dear
Strive often hear it said
that some rich man gives men
work. Did one man ever give
another man work! What is work,
and why does any one want it?
Work is an eXertion OF mind or
body. 1t is the means of chang
ing the raw materials OF nature
into forms to satisfy human wants!
Work is wanted as a means to that
end Ell
Every man comes into the world
with certain needs, as he grows
and develops he acquires the abil
ity to work and obtain the means
of satisfying them. Work is the
natural method of obtaining these
means.
The land is the only source from
which any and everything must be
obtained. Nature has given and
continually gives to all men work.
But, owing to the institution of
private ownership Of land, some
men can deny to their fellow men
the privilege Of working. And
for 4 consideration one of these
privileged gentlemen steps aside,
thus allowing other men to work
in order to produce the things the
people need; then the peopls say
"gives men work. He has not
really given them work; he merely
for Il consideration ceases to pre-
vent them from working

TAFT FOR TARIFF REVISION
CHANGES IN CONDITIONS SINCE
DINGLEY ACT WAS PASSED.
Duties Should Not Be So High as to
Tempt the Formation Of
Monopolies.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 24.-Secre-
tary William II. Taft has written an ar
ticle on THE Republican Party" for the
Yale Courant. which was issued yester-
day. He discusses the organization and
development of the party and Of Its poll
cies since 1856 until the present time.
lone of the great policies to which the
republican party has been pledged from
the beginning" says the Secretary. ''has
been the protective system by which in
dustries have been diversified and domes-
tic manufactures and farm productions
have been enormously developed. In the
ten years which have elapsed since the
enactment of the Dingley tariff the condi-
tions have so changed as to make a num-
Der of the schedules under that tariff too
high and some too low. This renders it
necessary to re-examine the schedules In
order that the tariff shall be placed on
purely protective basis. By that l mean
it should properly protect against for
eien competition and afford a reasonable
profit to all manufacturers. farmers and
business men. but should not be SO high
as to furnish a temptation to the forma-
ton of monopolies to appropriate the un-
due profit of excessive rates"
Effect OF Railway Rate Law.
In the course of his discussion of the
railroad rate law Secretary Taft says:
1T has put every railroad man in the
country on his good behavior and created
complete change of attitude on the
part of him and his subordinates in re-
spect to the statutes of his country.
.Other corporate abuses have been
made manifest besides discrimination IN
rates They consist in using the corpo-
rate form of investment to float bonds and
stocks. the par value of which is far in
excess of the real money value invested in
the enterprise-a practice which. in addi-
ton to deceiving and defrauding the pub
lie. involves consequences with reference
to reckless corporate management that
are most demoraliZing.
Secretary Taft also discussed the re-
cent financial depression and expressed
the hope that it's effects would be of short
duration. In this connection he indorses

WILL KEEP IN BACKGROUND
PRESIDENT TO REMAIN ALOOI
IN THE TAFT CAMPAIGN.
Democrats to Be Given No Oppor-
tunity to Charge Dictation by
the Chief Executive.

According to pretty good information
here Secretary Taft will not give the
democrats an opportunity to charge that
his campaign is being run by the man at
Oyster Bay. After this week. by thich
time he will have concluded some con-
ferences with the President on both Of
fetal and political business, Mr.. Taft
will eliminate Oyster Bay from his visit
ing list. and, SO far as the world Will
know. the possessor Of the big stick will
have dropped out of operations.
The republicans Will have to meet the
direct charge of the democrats that the
Roosevelt administration is trying to
perpetuate itself through its selection OF
a nominee and that this is hostile to the
American spirit The charge will be sup
plemented by further assertion that the
republican nominee is mere child in the
hands of the greatest OF political chlel-
tains Roosevelt. who will be accused OF
directing and handling the campaign
without much regard to what Mr.. TAFT
NAV think or say. To avoid this last
charge. which might influence voters.
Secretary Taft is to have clear unoeE-
standing with the President at oyster
Bay this week that the two men Will
probably not meet again during the cam
paign unless it is in Washington in Oc-
tober. after Mr. Roosevelt finishes his
summer vacation and returns here. where
he will be in constant touch With the
leaders of the party as TO the outlook.
Those who know President Roosevelt
realize that it will be next to Impossible,
in view of his acknowledged leadership
of the party, to prevent his working IN
an advisory way for the success of the
republican ticket. but If he does this IN

Will Keep Apart.

If Mr. Taft goes often TO oyster Bay it is
regarded as certain that he will be repre-
sented to the country as receiving his in
spirations and suggestions from the Presi-
dent, and the only way TO avoid this Is
to cut out Oyster Bay from his travelling
list. If the two men want to confer on
really important political matters during
the campaign the long-distance telephone
will be used and will be sufficient for
brief conversations. 1t is considered en-
tirely probable that Secretary Taft ana
President Roosevelt will not see each
other for the next three months. and that,
outwardly they will hold no communica-
ton with each other.
When President Roosevelt left wash
ington he was determined TO make no
speeches in the campaign. and 1t is likely
that he will not do so. He is confident
that Taft will be elected without any big
hurrah on the part of the republicans,
and considers it advisable that he should
keep out of the fight except in quiet
dfgnified way. He may find occasion to
write to friends few letters. which may
be given to the public, but anything like
set speeches. recognized to be for polit-'
ical consumption. will be avoided.
