THE DIAMOND
THEY ARE OFF
 FOR THE RACE
Ideal Weather For the Opening of the Baseball Season in This
 League.

Ideal weather marks the opening of the Connecticut baseball league and in each city elaborate preparations have been made. In this city the plans formulated for the opening passed off without hitch. The au- tomobile parade was followed to the grounds by hundreds of fans and be- fore this story is read by all the first game of the season will be on record. Our old rival, Meriden
 transplanted from Norwich, is doing the honors and both teams have their best clothes on for the fight. In all the other cities the game was herald ed in with blare of trumpets and everything looks bright for a pros- porous season. The local manage ment has been very modest in all calims on the pennant, as in compar- ison with some other villages, but all will be impressed with the import ance of this village before many weeks have rolled away. All up then for the Waterbury team. no matter what the outcome may be to-day.

TAFT's SERVICE TO LABOR.
Destroyed the Old English Law As-
sumption that Union Labor 1s .
Conspiracy.

Destroyed the Old English Law As
sumption that Union Labor L. .
Conspiracy.
(From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The simple fact is that no man has
done more to place union labor on a
sound, square, law-abiding, respected
footing than William II. Taft by his
decisions in labor cases. Both employ
ers and employed have acknowledged
the justice of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there Is
not an intelligent worker or fair
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty as to its
rights which had before prevented and
gave it standing which it has ever
since retained, and which has proved
under his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old assumption, derived
from England, that union labor is a
conspiracy, and that workers could be
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their will, was
swept away forever by Judge Taft so
far as the United States is concerned,
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle. Judge
Taft's decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and is labors' friend,
because he is absolutely just, and
would no more permit wrong to be
done to the poorest laborer in the land
than he would to any one else. And
the honest, law-abiding workers asks
and expects no more than this.

SENATOR FULTON'S SPEECH,

J.,
One of the most interesting and
entertaining speeches ever dellv.
cred before Corvallis audience
was that of Senator C. w. Fulton
at the court house on Wednesday
night to a large and appreciative
audience.
He seemed particularly inspired
for the occasion of bringing to a
close, from a republican stand
point, one of the most important
political campaigns that has con-
fronted the American people
since the Cleveland administra-
tion which. brought such dire ca
lamity to the whole country, and
in the noble effort he more than
fulfilled the expectation Of his
most ardent friends.
He paid just tribute to
Bryan the citizen an orator but
portrayed s vivid picture of the
utter lack of that stability and
depth of thought which should
peculiarly fit men as presidential
candidates. He cited the numer-
Gus changes of mind on important
questions to win popular favor
thus keeping in touch with the
people in the vain hopeof winning
the presidency which the Senator
characterized as roiitical dishon-
esty and unworthy of a presiden-
tial candidate.
In marked contrast he pictured
Mr.. Taft who had dared to face
the courage of his convictions re-
gardless of public criticism and
so deeply and carefully had he
weighed his thought that he sus-
tained the remarkable distinction
of always being right in every
official act and thus commanding
the respect and admiration of all
true Americans.
He painted a glowing picture
of the remarkable prosperity un-
der republican rule, calling
to mind the absolute fact we are
the most prosperous, happy and
contented people on Gods green
earth and deeply deplored the
thought of a change. He briefly
pictured the horrors of '92 to '96
which made deep impression on
the mind of every man in the
audience. Never was there
more pathetic story and it should
oft be repeated lest we forget.
He paid some attention to the
bank guarantee plank in the dem
ocratic platform showing its ut
ter impracticabllity as a measure
of relief and predicted dire con-
sequences to the business inter-
ests of the country as the result
of its adoption.
He called the attention of the
laboring men present to the fact
that there was not law on the
statute books todayin their inter-
est but those placed there by the
republican party and that Taft
had proved his friendship to them
by decisions on the bench.
He emphasized the fact that
the only law operating against
the trusts had been passed by a
republican congress and upheld
by republican supreme court
with all the democratic members
of that body voting against it.
He spoke for nearly two hours
and was accorded marked atten-
tion thus showing the people ap-
preciated his eloquent appeal to
vote for Taft.
