PUBLICITY TO BE
 TAFT'S WATCHWORD

Hot Springs, Va, July 1O.-That the publicity of campaign funds is to be d feature of the coming campaign has been made very clear here today. MT. Iaft had extended talks with Chairman Hitch cock and with George R.. Sheldon, treasurer of the national committee, who arrived today; and the necessity of the strictest possible compliance with the New York law in relation to the pub licity of campaign funds of the national committee was the chief topic.
 Referring to suggestions that the repub- lican party might receive funds outside of New York and not include them in the report of the national treasurer, MT. Taft replied promptly that it was possible to commit perjury in such a case, but he secuted the idea that the purpose of siv- ing publicity to the funds of the party in tirely sincere. MT. Sheldon also declared that the New York law in respect to all the funds that come to the national com mittee in whatever state they may bo collected will be published with the names of the donors.
 Elmer Dover, secretary of the national committee is expected here tomorrow. It is understood that under the present arrangements for the campaign Nil 2. Dover will at once enter upon active work

President Ripley Makes Radi-
 ciI Statement
BIG DEMANDS ON THE ROADS
Ripley Says That Wages of Employees Cannot Be Cut, So Something Must Bs Done to Help
 Serilus Situation.

New York July l0.-That the railroads or the United States could not lower the wages of ther fmployes without bring ing on strike which would paralyze the country for monhs, and that an increase in freight rates by the railroads in the west as well al in the east, cannot be avoided 1T the ralroa ds are to continue to meet the demand upon them, is the view expressed by E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchiscn, Tofeka and Santa Fe rail- road. To this 1r. Ripley added that most of the rail1ads of this country are mere limitations [ railroads, a sentiment which has great interest, coming as it does from the had of one of the fore most roads in theeountry.
 Public sentimet towards the railroads, generally speaklg,' President Ripley said, has not unergone any change for the better. Her and there some are found who expres fhe view that public feeling has gone too far, but nothing tangible in the way of improved public sentiment has dseloped nothing which might lead to thd drepeal of some of the laws affecting th railroads adversely. The railroads in tle west have been con- sidcring the question of a1 increase in freight rates.
 T am in thorouh accord in this mat ter with the positidl taken by MI. w. c. Brown of the Nev York Central that wages will have td come down or rates be increased.
 But the wages pf railroad employees could not be reduced without bringing or q strike which would pnralyze the country for months. The ons, thing left seems to be to increase rates.
 '"The fact is that. with few exceptions, the railroads in this country are merely lnitations Of railroads They are simply built and have all knds of m,ney to spenc for the protectiop of fife ard prop orty, and to handle the business eitrusted to them as the public demands that it shall be handled. For this new capital must he raised, and the only thing for those who use the railroads 10 do is u pay for all this or give up lhi use of the railroads. The consumer myst pay the cost.
 An increase in net inconI to provide for this new capital is essstIal"

FOREIGN OPINION UPON
 DEMOCRATIC CHANGES

London, July 1.-The Daily Chronicle regards MT. Bryans policy as being the same as that of President Roosevelt, and says that it is only a question of which of the candidates shall be entrusted with it's execution. Whoever is the victor. the paper says, he will be man of high character, marked ability and distinc- ton.
 The Daily Graphic says: Whatever is really good in the democratic creed is already an integral part of the policy President Roosevelt is beaueathing to Mir. Taft, hence there is no serious po- litical issue; it will be exclusively q question of persons"
 The Saturday Review thinks that MT. Bryan has an advantage in being more prominent than MT. Taft and suggests that the Nehraskan may obtain strong support from the Pacific slope by the
