SWift'S Premium Calender for 1909.

Swift's Premium Calender for
1909 consists of reproductions in
color of four of the worlds ia
nous masterpieces of painting.
The first subject is Gaylord S.
Truesdel's pastoral scene, Go
ing to Pasture. The original
of this picture is now on exhibit
ton in the Corcoran Art Gallery,
Washington.
Next, Winslow Homer's STIR
ring marine picture, "All's WE'LL +,
was chosen. This picture is in
Homer's best style, showing a
strength and simplicity that con-
veys his idea at a glance. This is
among the treasures of the Bos-
ton Museum of Fine Arts.
The third subject is Breton's
famous Song of the Lark. 1"
This picture. on exhibition at the
Art Institute of Chicago, is the
best known of the four. This
beautiful reproduction faithfully
portrays the spirit of the original.
Bougereau's The Sisters"
completes this finest of all Swift
& Company calenders. Bou-
gereau is represented in this
country by several paintings. es-
pecially mural decorations in
New York. The Sisters" in
the Metropolitan Museum, is one
of his best and happiest efforts.

THE FIRST BOYCOTT.
English Weavsrs Leasued Against the
Scotch In 1897.

The trade boycott is by no means
Of as recent origin as some people
suppose, nor is it of Irish extrac-
ton. Among the early boycotts
which strongly suggest the modern
institution is one that halls from
north England and is chronicled in
Brands History of Newcastle"
This had its inception in dread OF
Scotch competition. On Aug. 81,
1922, in the corporation of weavers
in Newcastle a number of regnla-
tons were adopted, among them
that no member shall take a
Scotchman to apprentice or set any
of that nation to work under pen
atty of 40 shillings." More than
his. to call brother "Scot or man
sworn" involved a forfeit of 6s. 3d..
without any forgiveness"
The canny Scotch doubtless did
not delay to pay back the English
in kind. but it is nearly two cen
turtles later before any record ap-

that some OF these English riders
not only enhance the said wholesale
trade. but also correspond with il

and persons at the same prices and
rates as il to us in a wholesale way,

BRYAN TRUE TO SILVER |. OIL
Belief In His Panacea Will Remain
~ mistaken.
Declaration Of Faith Made to Cover
the Past, the Present and the
Future.

It would be extremely unkind to
say that Mr.. Bryan is tickle in his
political belief. His best friends
would be the last to make such an
assertion, for they realize thoroughly
that their leader, when he has once
implanted a conviction firmly in his
mind, clings to it like grim death.
This is especially true of Mr..
Bryan's attitude on the silver ques-
ton through which he first rose to
prominence. He has very little to say
about that question at present, but
that he is absolutely certain that
it is subject Of the greatest i'm
pertance and that his own particular
financial panacea is the only safe
guide for the United States may be
plainly seen from the following ex-
tracts from his collected wisdom:
In an address at the Jefferson Club
banquet at Lincoln, Neb., December
26, 1900, Mr.. Bryan said:
The principles for which we con-
tended in the last campaign still live,
and we who believe in them must
continue to fight for them. An cleo
ton does not change principles; it
only determines what principles shall
for the time being be applied
In the North American Review, in
the same month, Mr.. Bryan recorded
this declaration of faith:
To consider this election as de-
cisive Of the money question would
be as absurd as to have regarded the
election of 1896 as decisive of the
tariff question. It would be more
reasonable to regard the late election
as conclusive upon the question of
imperialism or upon the trust cues
ton, both of which were discussed
more by our people than the money
question.
The increased production Of gold
has leSsened the strain upon gold.
and had to some extent brought the
relief which Democrats proposed to
bring in larger measure by the re-
storation of silver; but there is no
assurances whatever that the gold
supply, even with the new discoveries
will be sufficient to maintain the level
Of prices. Favorable conditions have
given US an abnormal share of the
worlds supply Of gold, but the
scarcity of the yellow metal abroad
is already leading to the export of
gold, while the increase in the issue
of banknotes is evidence that we are
still short of money here. The Re
publicans defend the gold standard
not by logic, but by giving it credit
for better times. When prosperity
fails, the gold standard will lose it's
charm"

and private, may be summed up in a
single sentence:
I dare to do all that may become 4
man; Who dares do more is none.'
The call Of the people is for Will

lie is one Of them. There is need this
year of q leader of practical exper-
fence in public affairs whose principles
and policies are not subject to change
over night, and whose record in high
Office is a sufficient guaranty for lis
future performance. Mr.. Taft fulflls
that requirement in every detail. His
record is an unbroken story of accom-
plished results for the public welfare.
No act OR utterance Of his requires
apology or explanation. He is neith-
er dodger nor a trimmer. He has
encountered many difficulties and mas
tered them all. His cheeriness, broad
humanity, integrity and devotion to the
principles which have made the Re

The record Of the Republican nominee

PERFORMANCE VS.. PROMISE,
Response of Republicans to Peoples
Wishes Contrasted with Demo-
cratic Proposals.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech

(trOm GOV. Hughes Youngstown
Speech.)
when we consider the inevitable
conflict of many opinions and the i'm
portance of the questions involved the
record OF progressive legislation is ex-
traordinary. The creation of the bu-
reau OF corporations, the railroad rate
bill. tie employers liability bill and
the laws passed for the better protec-
ton OF labor constitute 4 record of
legislation which no just critic can at
ford to minimize. and which attests in
Il marked manner the response of the
Republican party under it's forceful
leadership to the demands of the people
eff all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the last twelve years had been
enacted into law we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster, and would
regard it as our chief business in the
future to find way Of escape from
the meshes of i'll considered legislation
in which we would have been entangled.
1t is fortunate for him as we'll as for
us that he was defeated, and whatever
may be his present political potential
ity may be ascribed to the fact that
hitherto he has not been permitted to
carry out his program. No doubt much
remains to be accomplished in the way
of necessary reform, but the record
already made by the Republican party
is noteworthy one, and we must make
further advances with care and needed
reflection. Our progress will be in
trusted to safe hands, and we shall be
fortunate in having sailing master
who knows his chart and who will take
quite as much account Of reefs and
shoals as of the speed of the vessel.
We have got our direction, we have
a most precious cargo. and we must
have a safe and experienced pilot"

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
A Man Who Has Done Things.


Responding to the call Of the ma
ton for a man equal to the emergen-
cies confronting the Republic, the
people themselves have found him and
presented him to the electorate.
Naturally, the people sought among
themselves for one truly representa-
tive to the highest ideals Of American
citizenship. Their Misunderstanding
and correct valuation of men led them
to the individual who more thoroughly
than any other fulfilled their require,
ments- that was William Howard
Taft
William Howard Taft, Of Cincin
natl, Ohio, probably is the way ne
would designate himself. That desig,
nation, however, is grossly inadequate
For while Mr.. Taft is an American OF
Americans, he is also a citizen of the
world who, as invited guest, counselor
and adviser of foreign governments
has exerted an influence for peace and
international good will unsurpassed by
that of any other American statesman
living or dead.
The dignity Of private citizenship
which he enjoys to-day, is in perfect
accord with his temperament and in
clination. There never has been, nor
will there ever be, anything in official
honor sufficiently alluring to draw MIR
Taft away from his lifelong identity
with the plain people.
As boy in Cincinnati he was ready
to give and take in all the stirring
controversies, mental and physical
which give effect to the law of the
survival Of the fttest As a student
at Yale he displayed all the qualities
Of wholesome young manhood which
have made that university famous, and
the endearing traits of his character
were honored at the reunion of his
class during the recent summer by a
celebration more delightful to him, per
haps, than any other demonstration OF
public favor possibly could be.
In the frank, fearless, boyhood and
college life of William Howard Taft
there was the promise of an ear.
nest, generous, upright manhood
Tlat promise has been completely and
splendidly fulfilled. The serious af-
fairs Of life appealed irresistibly to the
young collegian after his graduation,
and at the early age Of twenty-four he
appeared as Assistant Solicitor in his
home country.
Mr.. Taft's professional advancement
from the position of Superior Court
Judge and Solicitor General to seat
ON the bench of the United States Dis
trict Court was due solely to a frank
recognition Of his proved integrity, his
diligence and impartiality in the adj
ministration of Justice and his loyalty
to the Hottest standards of judicial
conduct. It is said of him by one who,
as a lawyer, knew him well: He was
the gentlest, fairest and most upright
of all judges before whom have prae-
ticed He was as incapable Of doing an
unkind or an unjust thing as snow is
of turning into SCOT. 2
It is, however, in his career since his
voluntary though reluctant retire
