sARCEAN UN TAFT.
ne Declared that Judge Taft Re-
msr1cj Workngmen to Serv-
Itude as Degrading as the
Spartans Imposed Upon
Their Helots.

Last week Mr.. Frank P. Sergeant
died. In 1898 he was Grand Master
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men when Judge Taft reduced rail
road trainmen to machines to do the
bidding of master" Here are some
extracts from an article written by
Mr. Sergeant about the decision by
Judge Taft that was grievous
wrong:
"If a judge OF the United States
court The was discussing Judge Taft's
decision] may abolish this right OF
an employe. he remands him. un-
equivocally. to servitude as degrad-
ing as the Spartans imposed upon
their helots. and it is this phase Of the
strike which has aroused such in
tense concern and alarm.
1T will not be expected that
should enter upon discussion Of the
legal points involved at best ! can
only voice the sentiments Of q body
Of law abiding men who have been
trained by their organizations to re-
spcct laws and the decisions of courts,
and who find themselves suddenly re-
duced to the condition Of peonage by
the de i: Ion OF a United States Judge"
1T Is asserted that railroads be-
come common carriers. but are un.
able to perform their obligations with.
out men. They must have men. and
It should be stated they must have
engines. fuel. water, steam. tracks.
etc The locomotives and equipments
can be purchased and become the
property of the road, but they are
useless without men. and these, once
secured, the general manager. speak.
ing as II by authority. intimates that
they become fixtures. because. with
out them. as without engines. the OBJ.
legations of the railroads cannot be
ppriormed: such is the newfangled
logic relied upon to reduce railroad
trainmen to machines. to do the bid
ding OF masters with authority con,
ferred by United States Judge. In
at least one notable instance United
States Judge has shown his utter con.
tempt for a sovereign state and the
laws made In conformity with the
constitution. and has sent county Off
cials to prison because they would not
disregard their oaths and obey his
mandate-and II will readily be con.
ceded, il such high-handed outrage
can be perpetrated and the Judge re.
main unimpeached. that Judge may,
with equal impunity. subject railroad
employees to autocratic indignities."
but It so happens that while men
debate such propositions, embodying
selfevident truths. the court. with an
iron grip. holds freemen in bondage.
and the victims are as powerless as
when. under another exhibition OF
rcwer. men were sold at the auction
block"

"May Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent.
On August %. 1907. Mr.. H. f. Miles,

The Democratic National Platform
favors guaranteed bank deposits; tbs
Republican platform is silent on that
subject Mr.. Bryan heartily cham.
pions the plan: Mr. Taft Is strongly
opposed to it
Mr.. Taft and Guaranteed Deposits.
In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Taft
puts himself squarely on record as be
Ing opposed to guaranteed deposits.
He says: The Democratic platform
recommends tax upon national
banks and upon such state banks az
may come in. In the nature Of en-.
forced insurance to raise a guaranty
fund to pay the depositors of any
bank which fails. The proposal IL
wholly impracticable unless it is to
be accompanied by complete rcvo-
luton in our banking system. with a
supervision so close as practically to
create government bank. II tho
proposal were adopted exactly as tho
Democratic platform suggests. 1t
would bring the whole banking system
OF the country down In ruin"
Why seek to confuse the people on
simple proposition? We are sup.
posed to have Government super.
vision Of national banks now Super
vision does not mean government
bank; 1t simply means that the ma
tional bank inspectors will do Just as
they are expected to do under exist.
ing law-make their examination OF
banks thorough and make prompt and
effective correction Of any irregulari-
ties discovered. SO II will be difficult
to fTghten the people by the claim
that guaranteed deposits means tho
rough supervision Of banks. That's
Just exactly what the people want
II Is absurd to say that guaranteed
deposits would bring the wtole bank
ing system OF the country down to
ruin"
What does guaranteed deposits"
mean? 1t means that the savings OF
the masses shall be secured so that
when men and women deposit their
hard-earned money in banking insti
tutions, they need not worry for fear
It will be lost through the reckless
ness and dishonesty OF bank officials
The Federal Government demands Of
these banks security for the money
It deposits. AS rule state govern
ments and county governments and
municipal governments make similar
requirements. But now that 1t Is pro-
posed that depositors generally shall
have some such assurance for the
safe keeping OF their wealth. we are
told by the Republican candidate for
the Presidency that the adoption Of
such a plan would bring the whole
banking system of the country down
to ruin"

The Cheapest Fat Reducer
Is the Best

The attention of all who are half
choked and generally bedeviled by an
excess of fat which, by the way, al
ways seems more excessive during the
sultry season than any other, is called
to the Marmola Prescription Tablets
Seventy-five cents secures enough Of
these remarkable fat reducsrs from any
druggist to last you a good while, in
fact, it buys an extra large case. This
is enough to make a very desirable
change in almost anyone's weight
Taken one after each meal and at bed
time the loss Of as much as pound
Of fat day has been attained innum-
cradle times.
This is royal result that seems all
the more remarkable when one realizes
these tablets are cheaper by half than
anything else your druggist has. But
the net loss they bring about Is not the
only good feature of these tablets. They
are pleasant to take; don't disturb the
stomach; don't require one to exercise
a particle or diet a mouthful and last
but not least, do not cause wrinkles.
They reduce one quickly but evenly
naturally. They produce, in short, the
identical results of the famous Mar
mola Prescription, with which they are
identical in composition. Try a case.
If your druggist is sold out then write
the makers, the Marmols company of
Detroit, to send YOU enc by mail.

FAIR FACES DEFICIT
Hamilton County Association Loses
$500 or More on This Years Exhi-
Observation-Disclosures Falls OFF, ow-
ing to Lack Of Advertising.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 19.-The Hamil-
ton county fair for 1908 was a failure
from a financial standpoint, the asso-
clifton losing $500 or more, less the
sum Of 5000 to be secured from the
state.
The gate receipts this year We're
only $1,123, while last year they
were $500. The grandstand paid
only sl73 this year, being about $50
less than last year. The race entries
were also small, due in large part to
the fact that the association did not
determine in time to hold the fair.
The purses amounted to $1.019.25 less
than the entry fees. The amount re-
ceived from privileges $97.31 - was
also less than usual.
The association will pay all obli-
cations. There are between ninety and
100 stockholders and these stockholders
will go down into their pockets and
make up the deficit.
The Freeman Tribune declares the
association made mistake in charg-
ms, so cents admission and that the
hackmen made another mistake in
charging 20 cents for carrying a Wis
itor to the grounds. The charge for a
seat in the amphitheater was also too
high,
