NJ judicial nature. The Supreme
Court of the United States was the
mole star of his career. 1t had been
for a quarter Of a century, since ne
took counsel OF his fine, keen-Witteo,
masterful mother in the days When
his nature and mind were in forma-
tive state. Twice, at least, the posi-
ton was offered, and as many times
rejected. coli,
When the responsibility Of lifting
the philippines from the abyss ana
nutting the islands upon firm political
foundations was accepted by him, pro
testing. from President Mckinley, 1t
seemed to Mr.. Taft that his aspira-
tions to the Supreme Court bench
were only deferred of realization for
period. He was young; he could az
ford to wait.
Justice Shiras contemplated resig-
nation in 1902. The President made

urgings and requests from those in
constituted authority over US imply
positive command, the President
commanded Mr.. Taft to become
member of the country's highest
tribunal. The situation just then in
the Philippines was critical. 1t Is
throwing no sop to vanity or over
emphasizing a condition because OF
personal admiration, but merely stat
ing fact, to say that Mr.. Tatt's de-
parture from the islands then would
inevitably have retarded the rebirth
of the islands for years. Nothing
would satisfy individual taste more
than acceptance, was part OF Mr..
Taft's message of declination-
But the President insisted. Before
Mr.. Taft cabled final and enectlve
message of protest, Manila was anre
with meetings of expostulation
against his recall, and pleading mes
sages had been hurried to Washing
ton by every, official Of consequence,
white and native, in the archipelago.
Mr.. Taft took the positive stand
that he had enlisted for the war, as
they used to say during the Rebellion.

then Fulfilled in its entirety" Mr..
Roosevelt capitulated against such a
stone wall of self-effacing zeal and
earnestness, and wired, ~All right,
old fellow, you may stay.
With the retirement of Justice
Brown from the Supreme Court the
President again pleaded with Mr..
Taft to accept an appointment. The
newspapers had a good deal to say
about it. Mr.. Taft, then Secretary OF
war and still the hope and inspira-
ton of the Filipinos, pilgrimaged tc

SWOLLEN FORTUNES AND
SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS

The Republican party, said MT
Bryan in a recent address, maze
swollen fortunes possible"
True The Republican party made
swollen fortunes possible, and II also
made possible by its policy OF protect
ing American labor and encouraging
home industries the fact that last
wear there were in the United States
S.58SS11 savings bank depositors'
with total deposits amounting to So
495.41O.OS7 - three thousand and
nearly half a thousand millions OF
dollars.
But for Republican policies these
savings bank depositors would have
had very little opportunity to put
aside this vast sum of money against
the needs of sickness and old age.
II Is but another example OF
Bryan's chicanery in public speaking
that while pointing to the fact that
some have accumulated large fortunes
with the aid of that protection when
Republican laws have extended over
all he makes no mention of the more
than eight and a half millions who
have money in the savings banks.
II is also very likely that most or
ali of the swollen fortunes are en-
gagged in carrying on great industrial
enterprises and giving labor well paid
employment. The swollen fortune
that is represented in factory towns
and cottages inhabited by happy fam
flies is not by any means an evil, al
though Bryan may think it IS.
That is one reason fair minded
Democrats, as we'll as Republicans.
are disguised with Bryan's desperate
attempts to excite class hatred oy
talking about the wealthy as if they
were enemies of the less fortunate,
and by misrepresenting large fortunes
az If they were idle accumulations OF
money. With Taft in the Presiden-
tial chair honest wealth and honest
poverty will have the same treatment
SO far as Federal laws are concerned
and that is all that either should ask
or expect.

DANGEROUS EQUALITY.
(From the New York Press.)

(From the New York Press.J
The good will of a banker who has
made his name a synonym of safety
in his business is a valuable asset.
But Bryan, with the same ruthless
ness that he would have repudiated
contracts to pay 100 cents in gold,
now proposes to wipe out the good
will of the banker, or at least serious
" impair it, by giving the same stand
ing in the eyes of the depositor to a
fly-by-night newcomer as the banker
enjoys who has won a frst-class
rating in the world of business by
lifetime of unfiagglng energy and IN
wavering fidelity.

fFrom the Kansas city star.)

CFrom the Kansas City Starr
The question with the sincere DEM
ocrat is this: Does Mr.. Bryan seize
new and ill-considered issues merely
to catch votes before these issues are
digested by the people, and then drop
them merely to hold enlightened
members of his party in line? An.
other question naturally arises: II
Mr.. Bryan is sincere, and If he has
dropped his old issues merely as a
matter of party expediency, would ne
not take them up again if he were
elected? It is submitted, with due
respect to the Democratic party ana
its leader, that the great problem OF
this campaign is: Find Mr.. Bryan.

WORLD BLANIEs BRYAN.

With Haskell's Record.
(From the New York World Sep
TENDER 27.)

(From the New York Word, sep
TENDER 27O
The main fault to be found with
Governor Haskell's resignation as
treasurer of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee is that 1t came a
week too late.
Haskell should have been forced
out at once and Mr.. Bryan should
never have challenged Mr.. Roose-
Welt to prove the Hearst charges or
any other charges against the Okla
homa Governor. Mr.. Bryan must
have known Haskell's record when
he assumed personal responsibility
for the man. If he did not, It was
because he had chosen to be a
fugitive from information. It was
Inevitable that the moment Mr.
Roosevelt succeeded in making an
issue of Haskell's record the Demo-
cratic organization would be com
pelled to drop him. The attempt
to defend him was sorry polltlcal
hlunder.

Esta manana a las diez, Ell Sc
nor Cayetano Coll y Toste infor-
mo ante la Camara de Delega-

lDebe declararse dia festive
el de la llegada de Juan Ponce
de Leon Puerto Rico?
El senor Coll y Toste argu-
ment6 por espacio de sesenta
minutes. Aducio prueoas para
demostrar que el primer explO
rador que tuvo la Isla no fue
como Sc supone Vicente Yanez
Pinzon, sino Juan Ponce de
Leon. Ell se1lor Zeno y Gambia
expuso en- contra de la opinion
del doctor Coll Y Toste que vi
cente Yanez Pinzon fue el pri-
mer exploration como 10 prueba
entire otros hechos, que pose1a
Ell la lsla siete caballerias de
terra.
FL doctor Coll Y Toste mani
festo que las capitulaciones de
Toro no Sc cumplieron, por par
te de Pinz6n V que Ell unico me-
rito que tuvo el referido nave
gante fu6 el de recoger ORC,
cuyo metal siguio viaje para el

Portugal y Espa1ia, sobre los

nando presto mayor atencion al
desenvolvimiento de aquellos
sucesos y el viaje que estaba
preparado en- 1905 no Sc efectuo.
Ell doctor Coll Y Toste pretende
probar como dato importante.
que las negociaciones cerradas
con el Rey Fernando y Pinzon
para venir a la Isla Caribe, que
entonces Sc llamaba Puerto Ri
CO, quedaron sin cumplirse. Y
por tanto Pinzon no vino q la
Isla III como explorador nj CO.

Juan Ponce de Leon quien con

primero que trajo ganados a la

Ell hecho que Sc discute; sc

de parecer que ell doctor Coll y

historicos en- que basa sus ar
gumentos. toda vez que el asun-
to es de gran trascendencia Y

Almost Stationary, However,
and No Alarm Felt at
Kansas City.
KAW RIVER STILL RISING
PANIC IN ARMOURDALE AND
NORTH TOPEKA.

Kansas City. June THE steady rise of
the Kaw river today caused almost d
panic in North Topeka and the Armour
dale section of Kansas City, Kan. and
there was a rush of families to remove
their household goods from their homes
20 higher lands In Armourdaie more than
400 families moved their furniture and the
stampede was becoming general when the
police interviewed. They arrested express
men who were frightening hOusehOldeTs
and obtaining eXOrbitant prices for NOV
Ing their goods. The drainage board is
sued d statement saying that a rise of
eight feet more would be necessary to
flood Armourdale. Packing houses and
other establishments in the bottoms have
removed the contents of their Easements
into upper floors.
At midnight the Missouri here had
reached the danger line of twenty-One
feet, but was almost. at a standstill and
was carrying off the waters from the
kaW river easily.
The weather bureau gave assurance that
the crest Of the flood is almost s~1ched.
The railroads are the heaviest sufferers
from the flood. miles of track being
washed out in various places and bridges
damaged.
