Why TAFT viii Win.

Dubuque Times-J ournal: Judge Taft
will carry the presidential election
next month:
Because the faith of the majority is
in the Republican party.
Because the people have faith in
his sincerity and capacity.
Because the majority believes the
election of his chief opponent would
halt the progress of business towards
recovery.
Because the people want the tariff
revision proposed by Judge Taft and
the Republican party and not the tar
if for revenue only-free trade-pro-
posed by Bryan and the democracy.
Because a numerous element in his
own organization considers Bryan a
detriment to the Democratic party and
wishes to get rid of him.
Bryan's argument that he should be
elected because Republican senate
would allow him to do no harm Is not
impressive. 1t is not legislation that
hurts so much as agitation. A Repub
lican senate might prevent legislation
along the lines of Bryan's platform
and speeches, but it could not prevent
him and the house, If it should be Dem
ocratic, from proposing measures that
would form the basis for agitation
harmful to the country. If his party
can not be trusted with full response
bility and power in the government he
should not be trusted with the presi
dency. This is SO obvious that in the
states called doubtful men lacking
faith in him are not likely to supper
him merely through considerations O
party regularity.

Mr. Bryan delivered an effective adj
dress before an immense crowd in
Cedar Rapids Tuesday evening. AS a
mark of respect to him the leading
men of the city acted as vice presi-
dents of the meeting, occupying seats
on the stage One of them was Cy-
renus Cole, the editor of the Cedar
Rapids Republican. The Davenport
Democrat in speaking of the incident
well says:
No one has ever accused Mr.. Cole
OF Icing supporter of Bryan or OF
doing anything to advance the poli1i-
cal cause that Mr.. Bryan represents.
Brt Mr.. Cole and the other Repnbli-
cans recognized that Mr.. Bryan was
the guest of the city and as such they
felt free to show him courtesies. The
Democrat is glad that In the last
month of the campaign strong RepCb-
beans and equally strong Democrats
are not forgetting the proprieties of
social life. Mr.. Bryan is entitled tic
all the attention he receives from al
classes of people wherever he goes
Outside Of politics he is one OF the
greatest living Americans. He is moi
Iorly an orator and writer but ha Is
an influence, and large one, in tho
moral forces of his day. The fact that
| he is the nominee of his party fol
| President does not add one whit tt
his sincerity, or to the worth # his
citizenship.

perance condition as a state, and con-
stitutional prohibition means cutting
down the tree of free choice in every
community. Free choice is just as
valuable to community as it is to
a home or to an individual.
But absolute prohibition and
annihiliation of the liquor traffic"
that would cut down the tree Of free
choice in every community, every
home, and every personal life would
be tyranny. If there is one thing
more than another that would be de-
clared unconstitutional it would be
the prohibition of the shipment OF
wines out of the states of New York
and California into other states. And
as for personal temperance all
sumptuary laws are nuisance and
an infringement on the personal right
of free choice as to what we shall eat,
drink or wear. 1t is high time to
talk sense and use discrimination in
this matter. Temperance is per-
sonal affair related to the individual;
prohibition is social affair related
to the community, and both differ
with respect to different persons, diff,
ferent communities and different con
ditions and circumstances.

the rates to the interior.
Attention was called to the fact
that heavy boats often make 200 miles
per day. The boat moves more slowly
than the railroad trains as in the case
Of the race between the tortoise and
the hare, but it gets there just the
same, while the railroad car sleeps by
the way. These conditions can be
remedied, Mr.. Ransdell said, by the
improvement of the waterways, espec-
tally the rivers, and by the co-opera-
ton of the railroads, which should
leave the low grade, bulky freight to
the water carriers and improve their
own facilities for handling hlgh
grade merchandise, thus preventing
serious freight blockades.

NO CURRENCY ASSOCIATIONS.

1t is announced from st. Louis that
the organization by the National banks
of that city of a currency association,
under the provisions of the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency act, passed by the
last congress, has been abandoned for
the time being and will not be taken
up again until the law is changed or
the rulings of Secretary Ct the Treasury
Cortelyou on the law are changed to
make more satisfactory conditions
which the banks do net like. The same
situation is said to be true of all the
cities in the country where the nation
al banks started out to form currency
l associations last July, except Wash
I ington, D. c., where an asso citation has
! been organized
( The main objection of the bankers
is to the ruling that each bank going
into an association becomes liable for
/ the emergency currency issued by
every other bank in that association
If this were operative a small bank
which took out, say 500 900 of the
currency, would be liable for the re
demption of the currency of big banl

WATERWAYS SAVE TIME AND
MONEY.

In an address before the Traffic
club in Chicago Hon Joseph E. Rams.
dell, president of the Rivers and Har-
bors Association, emphasized the adj
vantages of transportation by water
over transportation by rail In the
course of his remarks he took occa-
sion to administer few raps at the
railroads for their high freight rates
and what he termed their unfair
methods of competition with water
lines, saying that average American
railroad freight rates are about nine
and one-half times as high as those of
! the 500 canal. To prove his state,
ments, he presented figures comparing
the cost of transportation by rail and
| by water, as follows:
"Fifty-eight million tons of freight
passed through the Sault Ste Marie
canal last year at a cost of s3S.000.000
or eight-tenths of mill per ton mile
If this freight had been carried by rail
at the average rate of 1859 mills pei
ton mile the~cost would have been
$363,000,000. The saving on the, Soc
canal. therefore, was 100000.
'On the Ohio river, that passes
through the Pittsburg district. the
commerce last year was over 10000,
600 tons. If this freight had beer
carried by rail the rates would have
been ten times as much between
Pittsburg and Louisville and clever
; times as great between Louisville ant
, New Orleans
THE total commerce movins
through the lakes and rivers of tn,
United States last year amounted t
73, 000000,000 ton miles, costing SIS
100000, as compared with 38.000.OOO
: 600 ton miles carried by rail at
cost of s1,795.000, 1000. According t,
the amount the freight carried by wa
ter ought to have cost about one-thir
of that hauled by rail- AS matter O
fact, 1t cost only one-twenty-third o
the railroad rate"
Mr.. Ransdell criticised the railroad
severely for their failure to co-operat
y with the waterways as they shout
!. do. He charged that the roads D,
< rates so low at the points of waite
e competition that the owners of til
= boats, who are usually men of sma
k means, have been put out of bushes

Raymond, the Chicago Tribune
correspondent, who accompanied
Judge TAFT on his recent western
speaking tour, says in that paper that
the general report of local leaders ev.
erywhere was that the great issue in
this campaign is the question of the
continuance of prosperity. Voters are
convinced that If Bryan should be
elected President, with his long rec
ord of political vagaries, the result
would be a loss of confidence on the
part of the moneyed interests, and
this in turn would mean, of course,
the shutting down of mills, reduc-
ton of wages, shortening of the
hours of labor, and finally decreased
market for farm products. This argu-
at every stopping place along the g.
600 miles of Mr.. Tafts rapid journey
as the one reason why the people were
sticking close to Republicanism. TAX
ing his cue from these reports, Judge
Taft in his speeches constantly pound
ed at the idea that the country suf-
fered by the Wilson-Gorman bill and
prospered under the Dingley bill. The
people always cheered these illusions,
and the manifest prosperity of the
crowds at the stations showed that
this is the one argument above all
others which is to decide the election
of 1908.
