RoosEvELTs ADVICE TO LABoN
Presidents Recommendation of Taft
Bound to Count Heavily with
the Voter.

(From the Labor World, Pittsburg
President Roosevelt is willing to
stake his own unparalleled reputation
as friend of labor ON his declaration
that Judge Taft will be labor's real
friend should he be elected to the Presi-
dency. President Roosevelt is abso-
lutely sanguine on this point and the
gravity Of his position and the conse-
quences that will reach far into the
future, and will particularly relate to
his own personal record, must impress
on the mind of every intelligent man
that his words spring from his heart
Is there wage worker or a trade
union leader in the country who has
reason to doubt the sincerity of Roosa-
welt? Labor from end to end of the
United States has adored him aud
adores him still as a friend for what
he has done. He states most unequv-
ocally that in everything he has done
for labor Judge Taft has been his will
ing, aole and most earnest co-work az.
What better recommendation of Judge
Taft to labor than that can be offered
None whatever.

TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

(From Taft's Minneapolis Speech.)
Two objections are made to the con-
cluson that an enforced guaranty sys-
TEN would lead to recklessness and
disaster in banking. One is that the
government examinations would pre-
vent, and the other is that it is an
insult to the banking community to as.
sumo that the national bankers of the
country in view Of their present high
character, would yield 20 the tempta-
ton to recklessness presented by the
system.
Il answer to the first objection that
the government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing; that
it is difficult for bank examiner 10
discover the unwise recllessness and
speculative loans, and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations, and then the evil is done
and cannot be remedied by strict SUPER
vision.
Second, while | fully concede the
general high character of the bankers
throughout this country, my point is
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
and invest them on very little capital
afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
of no experience and Of speculative
tendencies, and will distinctly lower the
tone of the banking business.
zone of the great merits claimed for
the enforced guaranty of deposits is
that it will prevent panics. 1t is SUN
| cient to say that the plan proposed
cannot prevent panics. A panic is not
stayed by the promise that money will
ultimately be forthcoming 1t can only
be stayed by the production of the
money itself, When a financial strin.
gency is on, 1t is the cash the man
needs, and to say that he will get it
hext week certainly does not assist him

DISCARDED ISSUES.
Bryan's Alarm About "Militarism'
Has Faded.
(From the Kansas City Times.

(From the Kansas City Times.)
In 1900 Mr. Bryan made an ominous
noise about "militarism" He conceived
the idea-or at least advanced the
theory-that because the country had
acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico
and because provision had been made
for an increase in the regular army, the
Republican party was about to put into
effect policy of world conquest; that
this was to be made military nation !;
that the ideals of the young men were
to be turned from the arts of peace
to the arts of war, and even that the
enlargement of the army was to be a
standing menace to the cause of Amer
lean labor
And all this because the standing
army, which consisted of $4,000 men
when the Spdnish-American war be-
came inevitable was to be increased to
possible maximum of 100000 The
reason for this latitude of increase was,
of course, the necessities so impressive
ly revealed through the experiences Of
the war with Spain, and Mr. Bryan had
reason to know just what those neces-
stiles were.
Since Mr.. Bryan's fearful and won
derful alarm about "militarism" the
army has been increased from $4,000 to
10000 men. Not one of the evils pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bryan has attended this
enlargement. Would Mr.. Bryan reduce
the army? If so, why does he not de-
mand a reduction? Why did he not put
Il reduction plank in his platform? Or,
does his silence this year on the sub
iect of "militarism' mean that Mr..
Bryan now admits the absurdity of his
| position in 1900?

GoMPERs' CHEAP METHODS.

Judge Taft Shows the speciousness
OF Attacks Made on Him.
(From Taft's Speech at Waterloo, la
Mr.. Samuel Gompers has already de-
livered the vote to the Democratic
party and that makes it rather hope
less for one who is struggling for the
Republican party to deal ut all with the
labor question. He seems to have re-
moved it from doubt by carrying the
vote in his pocket. He leaves no place
outside for me- Now venture to think
that the laboring men of the country
think for themselves and have an in
telligence that enables them to take
their own Judgment as to the party and
the candidate whom they elect.
1t is rather cheap method of at
lacking a candidate to say that he is
opposed to labor, that he is in favor of
expressing and tyrannizing labor and
that he has nothing in his heart that
sympathizes with labor. The only way
YOU can meet that is to say that it is
not so. and that is what l do say.

Political SNAPSHOTS.

Mr.. Bryan is making a strenuous eff
fort to cOnfine the discussion of issues
in this campaign to the declarations of
the Denver platform. His attitude in
this matter is sadly Inconsistent with
the claim which he has made for twelve
years that he is the fearless champion
Of the people. When he pleads mmnun-
ity from attack on any issue which Is

that he is statesman afraid of his

AN UNsoUND PROPOSAL.
Bryan's Dangerous Bank GuarantV
and Its Weak Spots.


Mr. Bryan has made bank deposit
guarantee his most distinct issue az
this campaign. He has pressed it hard
and our mail is flooded with Inquiries
about its soundness. No foreign gov.
eminent has ever adopted It, The
countries Of the world have been busy
with banking and insurance a long
time. and when an earnest but not very
thoroughly trained politician comes for
ward with a revolutionary proposition
the burden Of proof lies heavily on him.
Regarding Mr.. Bryan's past record in
this field, Gov. Hughes has said:
IF all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the past 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 a way Of escape from
the meshes OF ill-considered legislation
in which we should have been en-
tangled. 1t is fortunate for him as
well as for us that he was defeated.
and whatever may be his present polit-
ical potentiality can be ascribed to the
fact that hitherto he has not been per
mitted to carry out his program"
That judgment is severe. and will
hurt the feelings of many of Mr..
Bryan's friends, but who can doubt its
accuracy?
Mr. Bryan's scheme which he calls
guarantee, is an insurance proposition,
and it is entirely mutual in its nature.
The government does NOT stand back Of
it. There are no stockholders who
pledge their resources. There is moth
ing except certain definite and linn
tied fund. This fund is to be used to
insure risks which are not selected. It
is to insure all alike good or bad. and
all at the very same rate. The real
working of the scheme amounts to this
the stockholders of an Indiana bank
guarantee that the assets (Which they
are not allowed to see) of, say, an
Idaho bank are and shall continue TO
be good; and that the directors of the
Idaho bank lover whom they have no
controD shall always be men Of recti.
tude and sound judgment Mr. Bryan
thinks that this little idea of his will
prevent panics. In 1893 the existence
of gold fund to guarantee the pay
ment of government currency in gold
many times larger proportionately than
the deposit guarantee fund would be
was Of no avail in preventing a gold
panic. In 1907 currency and specie

equal to about Is per cent Of their de-
posits, did not prevent one of the
most frantic currency panics in the his
tory of the national banking system
What reason is there to think that. in
times of stress and uncertainty, a fund
of few millions to guarantee deposits
of 13,000,000000 would have any more
reassuring effect? The scheme is worth
little or nothing as protection 1t
would greatly increase the number Of
failures by the encouragement of reck-
less banking, 1t would not help to meet
plhlcs. 1t would help greatly to bring
them about

STRIKING UNANIMITY.
Bryan Wanted in Certain Quarters
on the Plea That He Can Do
Nothing as President
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
hold it entirely natural for any
great law dcfying corporation to wish
to see You placed in the Presidency
rather that Mr.. Taft. (From the LET.
ter of Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr. Bryan Of
Sept 23)
The full force and justice of this
sentence may not be felt without the
following verification from the pen of
the most conspicuous recruit to the
Organized Democracy from the ranks
of the conservative or Cleveland Dem
ocracy.
Whoever believes in the prevailing
policies and tendencies of the Republi.
can party will, of course, act with that
party in the pending Presidential con.
test. But whoever believes those poll
cies and tendencies to be vicious and
injurious can record his belief aud
make it effective in no other way than
by acting with the Democratic party.
Not to take that course is to give more
or less support to the very policies and
tendencies he condemns. Neither should
he be deferred from it because certain
policies, once thought to be peculiarly
Democratic and so described, do NOT
command his approval. They eau now
be described as Republican with equal
propriety because they are policies
which are common to the extreme
wings of both parties. (From the five
column open letter of the Hon. Richard
| Olney to the New York World.)
The full force and significance Of
these sentences are not appreciated I'M
til it is recalled that their author serv.
ed as attorney general in the Cleveland
cabinet. during which time his depart
ment did virtually nothing to disturb
the peace he and others are so anxious
to enjoy once more.
1t is confidence in Mr.. Bryans tltil-
ity that rallies an olney and a Parker
to his standard.

Judge Taft at Nebraska City,
"As plain business proposition, do
you think it wise to go rainbow chasing
and hunting remedies which have not
been tested. proposed by gentleman
who has been proposing remedies for
twelve years, each OF which has proved
to be failacious? Mr., Bryan says that
we have no right to appeal to the full
dinner pail that when we point out
those distressing conditions that exist
ed in Democratic times we are appeal
ing to the lowest elements in human
nature. l differ with him. 1t seems
to me that man who does not look
after his family is worse than an in
fidel. A man who does not vote to
adopt the policy that will improve his
family is not patriot and not a good
