FtIIpinos Welcomed to His Table and
10 Other Social Funotlons-Rioh and
Poor Alike Were the Objects Of His
soIlcitude.
After Mr.. Taft assumed charge OF
the Philippines there was no color line
so far as he was concerned There
had been one for centuries. The Span
iards introduced it. The Spaniard
would not permit even suggestion OF
social equality between him and the
Filipinos, although in intelligence,
breeding, education and attributes
which constitute manliness the upper
class Filipino is fully on a par with
the Spaniard or American.
Mr.. Taft's first care In the prosecu-
ton of his policy Of attraction In the
Philippines was to demolish the color
line. Leading Filipinos were hidden
to dinner and to other social affairs at
his home, and their wives and daugh-
tiers were asked to stand on the re-
ceiving line with Mrs. Taft. At din
ners Mr.. Taft invariably took In the
leading Filipino woman. BE did not
martyr himself in so doing, either, for
the Filipino women are bright viva
cious and possessed Of keen sense OF
humor, which last quality alone would
insure their getting on well with Mr..
Taft. So far as he could Mr.. Taft be-
came one Of the people A man who
accompanied him ON his first tour OF
the islands tells Of having seen Mr..
Taft In close conference with young
Filipino lawyer, who, when he quit
Mr.. Tafrs side, left with him a piece
Of paper covered with diagrams. The
secret cama out the next night at the
ball, which invariably formed con-
spicuous part Of the ceremonious en-
tertainments. The ball was opened
with the rigadon, or Spanish quadrille.
1t Is a more complicated dance than
our quadrille. and the figures are not
called out. Mr.. Tan, to the surprise
Of his companions, stepped OF with
the wife OF the presidente and led her
through the Quadrille without mis-
take. he kept his eyes fairly closely
glued to a bit Of paper. 1t was the
same that the lawyer had left him
and upon which he had drawn a dia-
gram Of the figures Of the rgadon for
the instruction of the governor.
In his Office and at all times Mr..
Taft received the poorest as well as
the richest and most influential Fill
pdno An American contractor tells Of
having waited tn Mr. Taft's anteroom
for an hour while he explained to an
old Filipino woman what measures
she should take to obtain balance Of
81 which, she asserted, the govern
ment owed her ON an unsettled claim.
Had he not INST the Ffltpinos on such
grounds of equality Mr.. Taft could
never have SO successfully striven with
the problem in the Philippines. He
had 30 have the help Of the Filipinos,
and he obtained it by making friends
Of them.

LABOR LEGISLATION.

Republican Party Aims to Conserve In
terests of All the People.
Various injunction bills were consid-
cred in committee during both sessions
Of the Fifty-ninth and first session of
the Slxtieth congresses. During the
first session of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress several bills were before the
judiciary committee, and hearings
were accorded and considered. 1t was
found, however, that the labor inter
ests of the country could not agree
upon any one bill and that different
labor leaders were opposed to one or
the other bills under consideration.
Again, during the first session of the
Slxtieth congress the judiciary com
mittee of the house gave more time
and attention to the various bills pre-
scented, but 1t was found that no bill
could be introduced that would be sat-
isfactory to all the labor interests and
/ no bill upon which all members Of con-
gress could agree This so called anti
| Injunction legislation is by no means a
partisan matter, and so far neither
Democrats nor Republicans have been
able to agree among themselves to a
bill that would seem to satisfy all con-
cerned. There is no doubt, however,
that in the near future some bill will
be enacted into law, and when it is it
will be found that it will provide pro-
lection for not only labor and capital,
but for the public as well. First 1t
must be constitutional, and then 1t
must be of such a nature that it will
not lead to disorder and riot, but will
conserve the best interests Of the peo-
pie at large and not be drawn in the
interest Of either capital or labor, but
for the good and protection Of all.

TaIismans In Malta.

There are still to be found in Malta
a number of small stones shaped and
colored like the eyes, tongues and Other
parts of serpents.
The superstitious among the Maltese
connect these with the tradition that
st. Paul when shipwrecked was cast
on their island and that it was there
that while lighting bundle of sticks
for fire viper fastened on the apos-
ties hand. ST. Paul calmly shook the
reptile off into the flames, and nc
harm followed. The natives wear
these stones as talismans, in which
character they suppose them servicea-
BILE in warding of dangers from snake
bites and poisons.
They are found in st. Pauls cave
imbedded In clay and are set in rings
and bracelets and when found to be
in the shape of a tongue or liver or
heart are hung around the neck. They
are also taken internally, dissolved in
wine, which method is attended, ac-
cording to some people, by more i'm
mediate results.

RESTORING CONFIDENCE.


aRoes Of Judge Taft.
Judge Taft has steadily grown
on the country since his nomina-
ton. Ills Judicial podse, his So
briefly Of utterance and his atti-
tBde Of deep responsibility have
al impressed the country. They
are what is wanted to give con-
fldence in a period Of doubt and
depression.
8. M. FELTON,, president of the
Mexican Central railroad, who
was one of Mr.. Taft's visitors
last week, said in an interview
I'm my judgment the election Of
Mr.. Taft is Of the utmost impor-
lance to railroad men as a class,
because it means the restoration
of confidence, which La necessary
before we can hope for perma-
nent revival of business. The
great trouble with the railroads
has been their inability to raise
the necessary money with which
to carry ON extensions and i'm
provements. To get this money
there must be confidence on the
part of the investing public and
this confidence Will certainly be
secured by the election Of Judge
Taft"
The campaign has reached the
point where It is wise to make
the personality of Mr.. Taft
known and familiar over the
country. The campaign is marked
by its sober discussion and the
manifest movement of the great
current Of public opinion toward
a conservative desire to see the
great issues now opening handled
with care, consideration and a
judicial scrutiny.
Judge Taft is O man Of action,
combative and aggressive. He
appeals to the precise conditions
Of the campaign. He has the
qualities which draw men to
him In times like these. The
speechmaking campaignonwhich
he recently entered will not only
win votes by arousing public
interest, but it will add to the
strength Of the Republican party
in every doubtful state he visits
by showing the people a man
they can trust

A Witty Reply.

A witty but not overindustrious Celt
was one Of a street gang. A few min
utes before noon one day he threw
his shovel into the gutter, sat down on
the curbstone and proceeded to light
his pipe Just then the superintendent
Of streets came round a corner and,
seeing Pat. roared out:
"Here! What are you throwing
down your shovel for at this time of
day."

BIG AND BROAD.
Methodists Indorse the Candi-
dacy Of William n. Taft.


An unqualified approval Of
William II. Taft as a presiden-
tial candidate was given by the
Rev. James Coote, d. D., pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church
In Thompsonville, Conn, when
he called at the headquarters Of
the Republican national commit
tee. For years DR.. Coote has
taken prominent part In Meth
odist circles In New England and
IN New York, having been a
presiding elder and occupied
leading pulpits.
mo man has spoken 80 ear
nestly In favor of the great work
that Christian missions are do
Ing in the Philippines, In China
and in the orient generally as
Mr. Taft" said Mr.. Coote. I'm
an address at Yale university he
emphasized that idea particular
ly, and ON several other occa-
sions he spoke enthusiastically
of the good being done by ag-
gressive Christian evangelicalism
in the different countries which
he visited. It seems to me that
no evangelical Christian should
hesitate to support Judge Taft.
He is just as big and broad in
his religious ideas as he is In his
physical proportions. He can be
trusted to do what is fair and
right with all denominations.
81 am convinced that what
Judge Taft has said on religious
matters was not for political eff
feet. He has gone hither and
thither doing the work before
him, and at the same time his
keen observation and his sense
Of fairness have led him repeat
edly to give expression to his
appreciation Of the work Of
Christian missions everywhere.
I'm Thompsonvflle Is one of
the largest carpet manufactur-
ing plants in the world" con-
tinued DR.. Ooote. During the
last Democratic administration
that establishment was COM
PEELED to close, and the thou
sands Of employees were thrown
out Of work. A very large pro-
portion Of those had to leave the
town. My observation Is that
the people in that section Of the
country remember that expert
ence and that they do not care
for another administration that
is likely to result so disastrous
ly."

When he was secretary OF war Mr..
Taft never unreservedly trusted to the

in approving or disappearing the find

was scrupulous in insisting that all

to be passed upon and weighed by him

be too severe or lack Of time too evil
dent to prevent him from satisfying
himself that exact justice had been
done the accused, according to the evil
dence and the facts. One evening long
after the rest OF the departments had
closed Mr.. Taft at the end Of an I'M
usually hard day, took up bundle OF
papers relating to the case of lieu
tenant who was sentenced to dis
missal. The chief Of staff was there,

1t is believed by some historians that
coal was used by the Romans on the
continent and by the Britons on the is
land before the arrival of Caesar. AS
early as 1894 Henry III. granted a IL
cense to dig coal near Newcastle, but
a few years later the use of coal was
forbidden in London, the smoke being
deemed prejudfcial to public health.
In 1906 the London gentry petitioned
the king against its use. declaring that
in spite of his royal order certain ma
licious persons persisted In burning 1t.
Goals began to be brought from New
castle to London In 1881, during the
reign of Richard II. By the year 1400
coal was commonly burned In London
as a fuel, though 200 years later, In
the reign of Charles L, its use was far.
