TAFT ON THE STUMP.

THAT was no CON talk. He amt
no great orator, but you bet he means
what he says. Bryan wouldn't have
told us the truth as plain as that, but
he meant what he said, and he's got
the nerve to tell the truth" These
are but few of the comments, all Of
the same tenor, which could be heard
when Judge Taft addressed 400 coal
miners recently at Athens, Ohio.
In the speech Mr.. Taft declared to
the union miners that he had issued
injunctions. Said he: 81 issued them
because the rights of the plaintiffs
demanded it, When l am on the
bench l enforce the law, and l have
no apology to offer" After the utter
ance there was pause of almost dra-
matte intensity, and then those 400
miners broke not only into applause,
but cheers.
With the Nebraskan manipulation
of language in mind Judge Taft said
to a Sandusky audience: 81 cannot
dwell in the cerulean blue, but have
to deal with facts" Because Bryan
has more experience than any public
speaker of the day on the stump, and
this experience includes several Pres
idential campaigns in which he was
the candidate it was thought in some
quarters that the Republican candi-
date might be at a disadvantage at
this game. But Mr.. Taft has come on
amazingly in this regard. At first he
spoke from manuscript, then from
notes, and at Sandusky and Athens
he spoke extemporaneously, as he did
at various points on the route to Gin
cinnati, and the effect was instanta-
neous in spontaneity of responsive
chord.
Bryan's ability at word painting
and to clothe glittering nothings with
poetical language, is now becoming
to be regarded merely as such. 1t is
all something apart from the business
in hand. 1t is like play acting. Good
enough to see and hear, but very lit
tie use when we all get back to work.
All very entertaining, but no help In
the affairs of life that daily press.
For this reason Mr.. Bryan's light and
airy nothings do not make the lasting
impression on his audiences which the
simple truths that Mr.. Taft expresses
with such absence of oratorieal effort
make upon his hearers. The situa-
ton is something like the debate be-
tween Douglass and Lincoln. The
former tickled and swayed his hear
ers, but they carried away what Lin
coin said, and the great Abolitionist
had completely won them when they
got home. Much I'm the same way
Bryan's most enthusiastic auditors
for the most part will go home and
think 1t all over and then vote for
Taft.
Oratory for mere oratory's sake
with nothing behind II in the way of
suggested serious achievement is the
effect produced by the brilliant orator
of the Platte. One has been enter
tanned by the rhetoric of young men
Just emerging from a college course,
but hardly impressed as much as by
what is said by one of distinguished
public service or of achievements I'm
the affairs of life. AS Judge Taft
starts out on his speechmaking cam
paign no misgivings need be enter
tanned as to the outlook.

PHILOSOPHY OF BRYANISM.

BY deduction and inference the phi
iosophy of Organism Is made clear TO
the simplest understanding. To illus
trate:
If corporations abuse their power
destroy them. Likewise II the plumb
ing In your house is bad set fire TO the
building In order to rebuke the tricky
plumber.
Wealth--accordlng to Bryan--is
created by legislation, not by labor.
Therefore abolish the taxing power as
q needless oppression and raise rev.
enues By fat.
All monopolies are unjust and dan
gerous. Hence we should abolish the
patent laws and thus discourage the
development OF inventive genius.
Federal ownership OF trunk line
railroads Is necessary. Consequently
there must be Federal training
schools for the instruction OF locomo-
tive engineers, fremen, brakemen,
conductors, baggage masters, etc.
There is danger, says Bryan, that
the American dollar may be made
"too honest" Obviously the way to
avoid that peril Is to make the Ameri-
can dollar thoroughly dishonest
through free silver at sixteen to one.
Labor Is insuihciently rewarded,
says Bryan. This is true generally,
but particularly as to the convict la
Dor of Democratic States in which
alone that Infamous system prevails.
Tariff for revenue only-meaning
free trade-is desirable, so Bryan
says. BY the same token low wages
for American labor are preferable 70
high pay, trade depression is better
than prosperity and the rustlng ma
chinery of idle mills is more beautiful
than the music of Industrial activity.
The philosophy OF Organism en-
courages Industrial discomfort, and
incites strife between employer and
femploye II means cheap men, cheap
labor and low wages paid in dishon-
est dollars. IL is to-day precisely
what II was in 1896 and in 1900, and
has never misled or buncoed the ma
jority OF the people even for an hour.
The trail of the serpent is over 1t all.

BRYAN's LATEST FINANCIAL DE-
LUSION.
Former Secretary Shaw Explains
Some OF It's Monstrous Possibilities.

Former Secretary Shaw Explains
Some OF It's Monstrous Possibilities.
The address OF former Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw at the
Illinois Republican State Convention
brought home with all the emphasis
OF facts and figures that trained fnan-
cier could command the utter folly
and impracticability of the Bryan
scheme for guaranteeing bank depos-
its. Said Mr.. Shaw: "Mr. Bryan
promised in his platform the creation
of fund for the relief of depositors
in failed and failing institutions,
State and National. The trust COM
panies OF New York alone lost In de-
posts $500, 600, 900 In forty days, yet
no deposition has lost. or will lose, a
penny, and no stakeholder will real
ize less than par for his stock. Il
would have required 5000, 100000 to
have safeguarded the banks of New
York City alone, and at least $780,
100000 for the entire country during
the panic of last year.
with a fund created by assess
ment and under Government control,
directors would never sacrifice their
individual fortunes, as they did last
winter, to save their institutions.
They would throw the responsibility
of suspension and widespread disas-
ter upon the Government. Let the
Government assume such a RESPONSE
bility and the Government Will be
called upon TO make It good.
Does the Democratic party" asked
Mr.. Shaw, ''intend to withdraw $780,
100000 from the channels of trade
and lock It up against the day of dis
aster which comes once, perhaps, in
ten or fifteen years?"
The more the Bryan bank guaran-
tee scheme receives attention the
more glaring not only the fallacy and
absurdity of the scheme itself, but
also the freakish instability of
Bryan's mental processes that permits
him thus to stultify himself in seek
ing to make fools of the public. The
bank deposit guarantee scheme will
go down in our political history as
another added to the list of financial
decisions which have been put for
ward under Bryan auspices within
the past twelve years to test the san
ity of the American people. In every
instance the people have proved them
selves sane by rejecting the delusion.

YALE MEMS FEALTY TO Mr.. TAFT

Rising above the comparatively I'M
| important and conventional consid-
| erations that surround Mr.. Taft's col
| lege days, one enduring feature APP
peals to the attention. That is the
absolute and unquestioning loyalty
with which his classmates, and Yale
men generally, cleave to him. The
fealty of rs men to Mr.. Taft is in
finitely stronger than it was when
they clasped hands for the last time
as undergraduates on commencement
day.
The reasons for this are plain. He
has fiattered them by indicating
their faith that he would go far in the
worlds affairs; that, as his father
prophesied of him as a boy, me
diocrity will never do for WILL" And
he has returned confidence with con-
1dence, loyalty with loyalty, affection
for arection and trust for trust. He
mas never put aside an opportunity to
acknowledge the Indebtedness to the
men OF rs for the uplifting impulse,
the sustaining force that their regard
for him has been in dark hours when

Taking leaf from his personal ex-
dent body of the University of Wis
consin, in a talk on college friend
ships, this incident:
While in Manila in 1902 / was
alone in what they call the palace
with only Chinese servants, and I
was on my back with a very painful
illness. The government had not
been going just as we all would have
liked 1t. The newspapers were criti-
cising, as they always do, but they
seemed to have more ground for criti-
clsm at that time. The shadows of
night were coming on, and the day
had Just reached that period when
everything that is burdensome or pes
simistic seems to lengthen with the
shadows. l was very much depressed,
When cablegram was handed me.

that celebration. / had forgotten It
In the woes l had, but when this
eablegram was opened l remembered.
This is what it said: We love you,
Bill, and we are with you in every
thing you are doing Yale, '78.'
NOW, II the sun had returned and
shone into that room, It could not
nave given me more light. It could
not have given me more strength to
meet the burdens which We're not
light at that time, than that message
from those men. / could feel myself
standing elbow to elbow, because |
knew that they were my most gener-
Gus critics, that they would bear any
defect that man might have because
they knew that his heart was right;
that they would bring to bear In
their judgment of him the charity, the
love and the deep feeling of eompan-
ionship which nothing but a college
friendship can give"

NO NATIONAL POLICY.

The Democrats in dealing with the
tariff, as in other matters, have shown
that they are good critics but bad
clare for free trade, but they will at
tack the protection policy of the Re
publican party with arguments which,
If sound, would justify free trade. If
entrusted with power in the Executive
office and both branches of Congress.
they would adopt an illogical tariff
giving liberal protection to the in
dustries Of the South and grudging or
inadequate support TO those not rep
resented in that section. The fact is
that the party has no National policy
and is united only in distrust of the
purposes and policies OF the oppOsi-

ROOSEVELT NOT A MENACE TO
PROSPERITY.

Notwithstanding the careful scru-
tiny of and vigorous policy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt In relation to large
combinations of corporate wealth,
right thinking men whose interests
are affected do not regard his activi-
ties as a menace to prosperity. The
latest utterance from such sources is
voiced by Ebert II. Gary, chairman
of the board OF directors of the
United States Steel Corporation. 1t
was made In London at a dinner given
TO him at the Reform Club by Sir
Hugh Bell, president of the Iron and
Steel Institute. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Gary took occasion to
say;
MAY l digress for a moment to
speak of our President, Mr.. Roose-
welt, who has sometimes been misun-
derstood II not misrepresented? He
is not an enemy to capital or Of bust
ness prosperity. He believes that
right conduct is the first essential of
National health, but he also believes
that material success and growth are
necessary. He does not attack indi-
viduals as such, be they rich or poor,
but opposes what he conceives to be
wrong, whoever perpetrates It.

TAFTS CHARACTER AND BRYANS
(From the Philadelphia Press)

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
The difference between Judge Taft
and Mr.. Bryan is precisely the differ
ence between the policies for which
President Roosevelt and the Repub-
lican party stand, and the crazy,
-half-baked proposals of Populism,
corporation haters and railroad bait
ers, to which Mr.. Bryan is the real
heir.
The Republican legislation of the
last four years proposed a fair, i'm
partial court, in the Interstate Com
merce Commission, where any ship
per could go who thought a rate too
high and any railroad who thought a
rate too low. To this was added the
requirement of complete and accurate
reports of all railroad operations.
Justice, law and publicity are the Re-
publican Roosevelt policy, and Judge
Taft is its direct heir by character,
training, experience and record. But
this is not what Mr.. Bryan has inner
tied or the estate to which he has
been adjudged heir in the probate
court of public opinion. The whole
sale sweeping cut of freight rates, the
marrying of railroads, wild schemes
for Government ownership, laws de-
nying railroads and corporations a re-
sort to the Federal courts-these are
the assets of the inheritance to which
William j. Bryan, Populist, agitator
and corporation batter, is heir.
1t is because the American people
propose to reform railroads and great
corporations by justice, law and pub
licity that the voters of the country
turn to Judge Taft as the rightful
heir of the work of the past four
years.

1t may seem to these conservative
Republicans-and there must be con-
sentative Democrats who are in sub
stantially the same frame of mind

that the Republican platform is not
superior on the whole or at least a
little less demagogical than the DEM
ocratic, granting that the Roosevelt
policies are to win, whoever is elected,
still Mr.. Taft by his character, by his
training and experience as a lawyer
and Judge, by his essential sobriety
and sagacity, is naturally more con-
sentative than Mr.. Bryan and more
likely to give the country an admins
