 Secretary Taft was kept on the move from the time he returned to the War Department after the cabinet meeting at I.30 o'clock, until the hour of his departure.

maIism By The Federal
 Government.
 Hot Springs, Va, June 1s---At today's session of the Virginia Bankers As sociation. Martin W. Lfttleton of New York. the principal speaker, addressed the convention for nearly two hours. his remarks being greeted with en- thusiastic approval
 He said the Federal and State gov ernments for a great many years did everything they could to encourage men who had money and nerve in the development of the country, including mining, railroading and banking. The Federal government gave those who built factories tariff so that they might be able to sell their goods high CT and keep them. Both Federal and State governments gave part of their public domain to railroads.
 Altogether this patron government of ours" said Mir. Littleton, ''was a very induIgent and friendly parent to all of us. Of course people grew very wealthy and people began to ask where and how they got it. Suddenly the government, both state and na- tional. swept down on them and began crusade In which every man who had been a captain of industry and sud- denly a crook and every man who had been regarded as an adyenturer-anxi- ous to develop the country, was put under suspicion.
 ''Neither the national or state gov ernment should ever undertake to hurt or to help any particular industry. The government ought to keep it's hands off, being neither friendly nor unfriendly, and allow the individual and his enterprise to work out the in- dustrial destiny of this country. Friendly paternalism. as long as 1t re- mains friendly seems a great blessing. but when 1t becomes hostile 1t seems to be a great curse.
 .This government ought to be held so high above class interest that it could not hear the cry of the lawless mob nor the appeal of those already fat with privilege"

 Colonel Bartlett argued against send ing Thaw back to Matteawan on the ground that he is not a criminal.

 Colonel Bartlett suggested the asylum at Middietown as proper place for the incarceration of Thaw. but MT. Jerome objected because of It's proximity to the Pennsylvania line.
 District Attorney Jerome made a strong plea to the justice to send Thaw back to Matteawana He declared that Thaw is an incurable paranoiac.

Tr,vmph for R,oosevelt

London. June 20.---Most of the morn ing newspapers and the weeklies which are issued today print editorials on President Roosevelt's triumph in se- curing the nomination of Mir. Taft for the presidency. The Daily Chronicle says
 '"To save the life of his policies he loses his life as President. t is an interesting phenomenon in the work ing of the American constitution"
 The Daily Graphic describes MT. Taft as an American Dauphin, adding, There Is something Napoleonic about this creation of new dynastic legiti- macy under the shadow of the stars and stripes"
