TAFT FAVORS JUST CRITICISM
OF COURTS.
Strength of Judiciary, He Declares,
is Based on Principle That People
Share It's Responsibility.


Hot Springs, Va, July 2O.-Judge
Taft today assisted in the opening of
court and in the dedication of court
house at Germantown, Va, five miles
from Hot Springs. Judge Taft ac-
cepted the invitation to be present
at the ceremony on the ground that
it was a neighborhood affair. The
subject of his speech was the admin
istration of justice by the courts. He
was greeted by large assemblage OF
sojourners at neighboring resorts
and country folk, many of whom
travelled far to see and hear the Re-
publican candidate for the Presiden-
cy. He was given a cordial welcome.
The strength Of the judiciary, he
declared, was based on the fact that
it rested upon the principle that the
people share in the responsibility for
the work of the courts, in the form Of
duty on juries an in other capaci-
ties.
He justified proper criticism of the
COuI - NY luS pSOplc USCduSc ny SuCA
criticism, chose who administer JUS
tice shall feel that they are under the
critical eye of men and women en-
titled to have justice of the people
administered without fear or favor"
He could not come into the atmos-
phere of the court, he said, without a
feeling of deep regret that he had
ever left the bench. He concluded
his remarks by congratulating Bath
county upon the fact that in it the
two great political parties are nearly
equally divided, which, he said, was
a guarantee against evils on the ad,
ministration of the government.
Judge Taft was heartily applauded
when he opened his address and was
frequently interrupted by applause
Mrs Taft accompanied her husband
to the courthouse, which was reached
after a drive over splendid mountain
roads.

In a statement issued Monday by
the Bureau of Labor at Washington,
it is shown that the average wages
were higher, the hours shorter, and
than in 1906. And 1906 was not a
bad year for the laboring man. Such
evidence as this will not tend to
throw the labor vote to Bryan.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 18.-Mrs Isa-

Before the Democratic State Con-

he is the party's nominee for Gov
