WHERE Mr. TAFT WAS BORN.

When william II. Taft was born,
in 1857, the Tafts lived In an old
fashioned, hat-rOofed, two-story brick
house in Mount Auburn, a suburb of
Cincinnati It still stands, fine,
dignified structure, set four or FIVE
feet above the street level and
fronted by a stone wall, surmounted
by an iron fence.
There we're famous times in the
old house when the Taft boys we're
at home. VIII was the leader in all
sports of the Mount Auburn boys,
captained them in their fights with
the Taylortown gang and fore
Swallowed in the unconscious mastery
he exerted over his cronies the fac
ulty of getting along with men, Of
mixing" with them, of drawing the
sting Of their animosities, of induc-
ing them TO see things in the right
light, as he sees them, which have
been so conspicuously in evidence in
his public career.
Il interviewed probably a hundred
men who had known Taft as a boy or
man." said a writer who devoted
weeks to gathering details of Mr..
Taft's life, land every one of them
said. with the greatest possible en-
phasis, that he was the finest fellow
on earth. I believe that If man can
be found who comes near to having
no enemies, that man is Taft.

Mr. GOMPERS REBUKED
BY TYPOCRAPHERS' CHIEF
Norman II. McPhaiI Declares Union
Labor's Vote Cannot be "Deliv-
cred" by Any Man or Set of Men.

49, - my NAeNh W A'tAVA NAthf
THE vote of organized labor. as a
body, will not, should not and cannot
be delivered to any party or by any
man or set Of men" This Is the
declaration of Norman f.. McPhatl,
president of Typographical Union,
in a letter to Willis l.. Moore, chief
of the United States Weather Bureau.
Thus another voice is added to the
rising protest of union labor against
the attempt of Mr.. Gompers to de
liver" the vote OF free American citi-
zens.
President McPhairs letter is as
follows
Dear Mr.. Moore-Your letter of
september % has just been received
and read by me, as / have to-day re-
turned from a tour of some of our
New England cities for our organiza-
ton
"In reply to the question you ask
me | will state that in my opinion
the vote of organized labor I'm this
country as a body will not and cannot
be delivered to any one party by any
one man or set of men. To allow
such a thing would be suicidal TO the
labor movement of the country.

BRYAN's sHIFTINEss.



Bryan's shiftiuess is again seen in
his himsy defense of his silver rec
ord. He alludes to some Republi-
cans who years ago were in favor of
silver and advocated bimetallfsm. To
be sure they did, and at that time
the Republicans in question were in
line with many of the foremost econ
omists and financiers of the world.
But what they proposed was very
different thing from what Bryan
championed They were for bimetal-
lism in which silver should be accept
ed at a certain ratio by all the nations
tnat would be parties to the agree
ment, and that would have made the
silver dollar practically the equivalent
of gold. Bryan was for free and in
dependent coinage OF silver without
the consent of any other nation" at
a ratio that inevitably would have de-
based the currency, Frustrated bust
ness and brought lasting dishonOr on
the Government, The more Bryan
founders on this question the deep
er he gets in the mud.
The bee., 1908-10-29

Bryan would rivet their bondage,
and make their lot harder than it is
now. The negro vote of the North
will not be cast with the view of max
ing more distressing and more humil-
iating the situation of the negro in
the South. The negroes will vote for
Taft, who says and means that to him
a black American is precisely the
same as white American.

Gov. Noel has sent a special mess
age to the legislature strongly urging
liberal appropriations for geological
survey of Mississippi. This is one OF
the most important measures that will
come up before the present legislature,
and we sincerely hope the governor s
suggestions will be followed. Money
expended for this purpose will be like
<'bread cast upon the waters 1t
will return tenfold. Refusal TO ap-
propriate for this purpose will in no
wise be ''economy"-it will be short
sighted, penurious niggardliness, pure
and simple. At present but little is
known about the latent capabilities
and resources If our state, and it is
high time that we learn just what we
have got. 1t is no idle prophecy to
say that thorough geological survey
of the state will demonstrate the fact
that Mississippi possesses vastly more
natural wealth than ever dreamed of.
The fact that the UnitedStates govern
ment is ready and anxious to cooper
ate in every way with the state gov
ernmenr, should be an incentive to
make the appropriation as large as
possible. The more thorough the
work, and the larger its scope, the
greater and more beneficent the results
will be. The governors message pre-
sents the case fully and comprehens
lively, and we trust our readers will
closely read it 1t appears elsewhere

From Vienna comes a story of an
aged couple who have been married
one hundred years. They live in the
Hungarian village of Isonbolgi. The
husband is said to be 800 years old
and his wife l16. They have no fewer
than 712 descendants. The old couple
live in a modest cottage; they are
almost blind, and spend most of their
time sleeping. The patriarch can still
smoke his pipe, however, and from
time to time he drinks q glass of
wine. The couple have never seen a
railway train.

The Advertiser has mailed out state
ments to all those subscribers who are
in arrears. We have but short time
in which to place our list on the basis
required by the recent ruling of the
postoffice department, and it is highly
essential that all should pay up
promptly. Personally knowing the
majority of our subscribers to be good
pay, we have been very lenient in
the past, and admittedly, have lost
nothing thereby, However, we are
now compelled by law to drop all un-
paid subscriptions from our list on a
certain date, or forfeit the second
class mail privileges, which, of course,
no paper could afford to do. So if
you want the Advertiser to come to
your address in the future, settle that
little amount at your earliest conve.
ni6nce.
