feaCea because ne would carry Out

sUOou for, wnlIe TAFT would reverse
dne Roosevelt policies. From tAat
eulOorlal Gnls extract Is UaKen:
ar. 'Ta1t's pubic record ana his
aaDlt OF mmo justify the belief
unat ne would take no official ac-
tlon untrl by research and contem.
platlon ne had formed an intelligent
conception OF the probable conse.
Quences OF his action. Ii he were in
the White House we should moi
have government by impulse or intu
lGlon or caprice, but government by
reason. The nation needs now q
Chief Magistrate having character
istics which Mr.. Roosevelt has new
er pretended to possess and which
Mr.. Bryan has given no evidence Of
possessing in his public career.
1T is, indeed, not difficult to in
dictate points of striking resemblance
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bry
an-to show certain parallelism be
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and the Ne
braska statesman. The points O
difference between the PresidenI
and Mr.. Bryan, on the one hand, and
Mr.. Taft, on the other, are dis
tinct and pronounced. And becaust
Mr.. Taft is in many respects the an
tithesis of the President his election
to the Chief Magistracy is the log
ical remedy for the conditions re
sulting in part from Mr.. Roosevelt's
methods in office. The country has
every reason to assume that a Pres
ident with the characteristics which
Mr.. Roosevelt attributes to Mr.
Taft would not introduce into his
administration, methods which are
WHOLLY incompatible with the char
acter and record of Mr.. Taft. The
country has sound reason for assum
ing that since NIB ryan is tenn
peramentally much like Mr.. Rcose
welt, Bryan administration would
probably result In a continuance cd
methods which, in the Roosevelt ad,
mtnistration, created anxiety and ap
prehension In business circles and
among the wage-eamers."
In Baltimore, Taft Is held up as
the 'antithesis Of Roosevelt" who
would suit the plutocrats.
In the West, Taft Is held up as a
man Of reform, responsible for all
the Roosevelt policies that are pro
gressive.
Is he facing two ways?

EMPTY CAR PROBLEM

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 7-Represen- tatiyes of the traffic departments of all the principal railroads, making up the membership of the American Rail way association, assembled in con ference in this city today to grapple with the empty car problem. That a speedy solution of the problem and a stoppage of the present. loss occa- stoned by the hauling of empty cars is regarded by the roads as a matter of urgent necessity is evidence by the fact that the present conference is the first special meeting that the American Railway association has ever deemed it necessary to hold.
 It is stated that since the falling of in traffic began early in the winter several million dollars have been wasted by the railroads in their ef- forts to send the empty cars of other railroads home and thereby escape the penalty of fifty cents a day for the use of a foreign car. This penal ty was imposed by the association less than a year ago to accomplish the very thing which the railroads are now anxious to stop. At the time the fifty-cent penalty was imposed, however, the railroads were more than 10000 cars short of their needs. It was therefore desired to insure the speedy return of freight equipment to the roads owning the cars and to prevent roads which were short or equipment from retaining and using cars belonging to other lines Now the situation is so materially changed that there are 350.000 idle freight cars in the United States and no road desires the speedy return of it's equip ment. The recent movement of emp ty cars has cost the roads au inn mense amount of money. and they have come to the conclusion that 1t would be better to permit the cars to remain where they are until they are needed. It is therefore likely that the meeting now in session will adopt a proposal to suspend the per diem rule until the situation again demands a penalty.
