AS ROOSEVELT SEES BRYAN.

You say that you have advo-
Gated more radical measures
against private monopolies than
either l or my party associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have. indeed. advocated
measures that sound more radi-
cal. but they have the prime de-
feet that in practice they would
not work should not in this
letter TO you discuss your atti-
tude on this question II you did
not yourself bring it up. but as
you have brought it up, answer
you that in my Judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly ineffective in curing a
single evil. and so far as they
had any effect at all. would mere
ly throw the entire business OF
the country into hopeless and ut
ter confusion. l put Mr.. Taft's
deeds against your words. l ask
that you be judged both by the
words you wish remembered. and
by the words that seemingly you
and your party now desire to
have forgotten. hold IL
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish
to see you placed in the rresi-
dency rather than Mr.. TAR. Yod-
plans to put stop to the abuses
of these corporations are wholly
chimerical. - Theodore Roose-
velt"

The answer is found in the prevail
ing good prices for grain, corn, hogs,
cattle. hay and all the products
Of the farm. together with the
fact that since the date of Can
didate Bryan's crushing speech,
Western farm lands have doubled In
value. and thousands Of tenant" farm
ers of that date have become prosper
ous home-owpers, tilling their own land
in peace. happiness and plenty. Under
the National Irrigation Act. and the
Republican conservation movement. the
West is soon to be the intense agricul-
tural and horticultural producing area

ROOSEVELT THE SPIRIT OF WAR;
tn. Answer in 1905.

President Roosevelt. instead Of rep
resenting the spirit OF war" stands
before the world the greatest ex-
emplar of international peace in his
generation. History will in full
season award him the titles he
has justly won. and the greatest Of
these will be THE Peacemaker," in
spite OF Candidate Bryan's assault upon
him In 1904. Under President Rooss-
velt's policies the United States has
taken its place In the front rank Of
world powers. Taft is committed to
continuing these policies.

President Roosevelt Points Out Inn

to Support Taft.


portance of Electing Legislators
to Support Taft.
President Roosevelt, in letter to
William b. Mckinley. chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
appeals TO disinterested citizens TO join
wi h the National Republican Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee in
a movement TO elect william II. Taft
as President and Republican Congress
10 support him. saying. in part:
1T is urgently necessary. from the
standpoint OF the public interest, TO
elect Mr.. Taft. and a Republican Con
grcss which will support him; and they
seek election ON a platform which sre-
cincally pledges the party. alike in Its
executive and Legislative branches. to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced. but
acted upon during these seven years
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty cooper
alton of the President and the Congress
In both its branches. and II is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be a calam-
ity to the country: and II would be
folly. while electing him. yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him. a Congress which under the in
fiuence OF partisan leadership would be
certain TO thwart and batiie him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr.
Taft. and at the same time to elect
Congress pledged to support him. is the
only way in which to perpetuate tie
policy OF the government as now car
ried on feel that all the aid that can
be given TO this policy by every good
citizen should he given: for this is far
more than n merely partisan matter"

The gold standard has slain

homes nor foreclose the farm mort
gage. nor did 1t close the dis
trict school: on the contrary. 1t has

of widespread prosperity, leading to in
dividual progress and happiness. aided

GOVERNMENT MUST OWN RAILWAYS"
The An.>v~r in 1905.

The broad meaning OF Candidate
Bryan's remarks on this subject is
that railway regulation by statute
law is impossible. and that "gov-
ernment ownership" is the only
remedy for transportation abuses
The enactment OF the Federal Rate Law
has totally disproved the claims OF
Candidate Bryan and vividly displayed
his unsound reasoning on great public
questions

ing liberal and appreciate increase in
the wages o. various classes of work
men. as follows:
"An employees not native to the trop-
ics who occupy the positions herein
designated shall be granted the follow
ing increases in pay for length of con-
tinuous service on the Isthmus: Five
per cent of the basic or class rate for
the second year, with accumulative ad-
dition of three per cent OF the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro-
vided. however. that such cumulative
increase shall not exceed a total of 25c
OF the basic rate"
In other words, Mr.. Taft made it
possible for every American laborer on
the Isthmus. by remaining there and
working. to increase his wages % per
cent and at the same time have a per-
manenf position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay, every
year and Mr.. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.

In the performance of this work the
United States is under the scrutiny OF
the entire world. especially of our
neighbors In Central and South Amer
lea. before whom we must make good
our profession OF high social and in
dustrial ideals. 1t would be national
calamity to teopardize the present lib

tinue this great work to the end.

PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation of Postal Savings
Banks in Philippines.
Two Years. Experiment Indicates
tie Plan Is Successful.

The only postal savings bank sys-
tenn in operation under the American
flag is that in the Philippines, where,
after two years of experiment. the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report of the Philip
pine commission, just published, the
postal savings bank is discussed brief
ly, in part as follows:
THE postal savings bank was first
opened in Manila on Oct. 1, 1906.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
in each class. Following the opening
Of the Manila Office, other postal saw
ings bank offices were opened in vari-
Gus cities, of different classes, until
at the close of the year 235 had been
opened, of which were first, Sc were
second and 140 were third class.
Fflipinos Adopting System.
AT first the Filipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity of depositing a portion
Of their receipts in the postal savings
bank, anda a great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and of other nation
alities. AS the advantages of this sys-
TEN have been disseminated through
means of schools. government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion OF Filipinos is continually in
creasing. and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn TO trust
81. -, -.
ment, and welcome the opportunity.
THE accounts opened up to the
close of the fiscal year numbered
2,616, of which 341 were closed. leav-
ing 2.329 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum of 7s6, ,361.o .o3 Pc
sos-an average of 10S.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount of
$50. .499.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit
of 500, 1881 pesos at the end of the
fiscal year-or the first nine months
OF the operation of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months Of operation of the average
number of offices. the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, so that many had
not been opened more than a month or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
Encouraging Small Accounts.
The device OF issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing a book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
"On the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has been
gratifying, and gives good promise.
| The Investment of the funds is in the
hands of postal savings bank, invest
ment board. which carries certain
amount of the funds on deposit. and
\ has limited power of investment. The
law provides that - per cent of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate. under limita
tions carefully drawn TO protect the
depositors. and 10 per cent on agricul
tural lands under still more rigid limi
tations"
