COUNTRY NEEDS A REPUBLICAN,
CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt Points Out I'm
portance Of Electing Legislators
to Support Taft.
President Roosevelt, In a letter to
William b. Mckinley, chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
appeals to disinterested citizens to join
with the National Republican Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee in
a movement to elect william H. Taft
as President and a Republican Congress
to support him, saying, In part:
at Is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint Of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and Republican Con-
gress which will support him; and they
seek election on platform which spe-
cifically 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 1t is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be calam-
ity to the country and 1t would be
folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him. Congress which under the in
fiuenca Of ma rtiSan leadership wOulQ be
certain to thwart and battle 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 be given; for this Is far
more than a merely partisan matter"

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.
Democratic Party Cannot Claim Un-
sullied Virtue al to Source Of It's


(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech
"Mr Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what 1t has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr. Bryans reiter-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re-
publican campaign funds. In the State
of New York Republican Legislature
In 1906 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the riolation Of the law
should be guilty of criminal offense.
And | know of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity of campaign contributions and
for the prevention of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by party
In power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, Of course, he
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by Republican administra-
tion Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the uncorrupted express
sion of the pcpula- will lie at the foun-
dation of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions ip connection
with federal elections. Pit 1t must
fairly be recognized that the skirts of
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned, and
also those who, II we may Judge from
their local activities, are still; unrepent-

claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of its revenues or
it's readiness to receive them"

Republican Organization Fosters An
Policies Tending to Make the
Country Great and

The Republican Is party Of action.
1t rests upon what it has done, and
not upon what 1t possibly may do In
the future. 1t has fostered everything
that has tended to make the country
great and prosperous. It has moved
with the people. 1t has kept abreast
OF the times. 1t has ever stood ready
to modify an old policy or to adopt
new one when the business interests OF
the country have needed the mOdifica-
tion or the change. 1t has protected
American industries. 1t has protected
American labor by stringent immigra-
tion laws. 1t protected the credit and
business stability Of the country by
prompt declaring in favor Of a gold
standard, end writing it In the stat

portunity to begin the speedy construc-
tion Of the great isthmian canal. It
has never hesitated to assume a re-
sponsibility. When the cruelties in
Cuba threatened the interests Of Amer
lea the Republican party resolved to
put an end to those cruelties. When
trusts sprang up it enacted a law to
curb and control those trusts When
commerce was at the mercy Of the
railroads, 1t provided for a commission
to regulate them. When shippers were
oppressed by transportation companies
it promptly enacted a rate law. 1t has

"RoosEvELT THE SPIRIT OF WAR"
The Answer I'm 1908.

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 Roosa-
velt's policies the United States has
taken its place In the front rank of
world powers. Taft is committed to
continuing these policies.

Into Cringing Dependencies.
That there's a rift within the lutte"
of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote Of the country to DEM
ocracy Is becoming more apparent.
While Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition OF
laber in the Democratic South. Mr..
John P. White, for six years president
of the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one OF the national officers of the
United Mine Workers Association, who
investigated mining labor conditions In
the South, is not so reticent. In re-
cent address to Local Union No. 81 Of
Abba. Iowa, he told of prosecutions OF
labor in Alabama where n coal miners
strike was in progress. He is reported
as saving: "The miners OF Alabama
have been subiugated until majority
have become or'nging dependencies. Al
most daily some Of the laboring men Of
that state were mercilcssly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
of the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into Jail without having COM
mitted any crime other than becoming
members OF the organization Ala

~Thus In every State, so far as these
statistics have been collected, the pro-
portion of homecoming farmers Is de-
creasing and that Of tenant farmers in
creasing. This means but one thing: it
means land of landlords and tenants,
and, backed by the history Of every
nation that has gone down, I say to
you that no people can continue free

the great majority OF its citizens are

THE ANSWERS.
The Answer I'm 1908.

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
Gus home-owners, 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
of the United States.
The Owosso times., 1908-10-16
The Answer in 1908.

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 pubit
questions.
The Owosso times., 1908-10-16
The Answer in 1908.

The gold standard has "slain" no
one, nor did it write the future
in blood" nor did it destroy our
homes nor foreclose the farm mort
gage, nor did it close the dis
trict school; on the contrary, it has
proved the sound and solid foundation
of widespread prosperity, leading to in
dividual progress and happiness, aided
in paying off the farm mortgage and
expanding the country's educational ia
cilties.
1t has brought such prosperity to
our country as was never known before.
Americans are the happiest and most
prosperous people on earth to-day.

To Middle West and Rocky Noun
tain States Republicans.

You want Mr. Taft and Mr.. Sher-
man elected and they cannot be elected
unless the Republican National Com
mittee has sufficient money to pay the
legitimate expenses Of the campaign.
1t costs money to perfect an organiza-
tion. 1t requires money to pay for
printing, postage, salaries or stenogra-
piers and clerks at headquarters, trav-
cling expenses Of speakers and numer-
Gus other details that go to make the
campaign end successfully. Congress,
as you know, has passed law making
it unlawful for us to solicit money from
corporations. We must depend upon
the contributions Of individual voters.
II every Republican In this Western
Division would contribute one dollar to
the campaign fund, we will be able to
do all the things that the voters want
done; we will be able to elect Taft and
Sherman. Will you help? II so, please

PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation of Postal Savings
Banks in Philippines.
Two Years. Experiment Indicates
the 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. /, 1905.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations az to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
In each class. Following the opening
OF the Manila office, other postal saw
Gus cities, Of different classes, until
at the close of the year 235 had been
opened, OF which were first, SO were
second and 40 were third class.
Filipinos 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 great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
alities. As the advantages of this sys-
tenn 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 Flliplnos will learn to trust
their money to the care of the govern
ment, and welcome the opportunity.
"The accounts opened up to the
close OF the fiscal year numbered
2,676, of which 347 were closed, leav-
ing 1929 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum of S6,361 .03 Pc
sos-an average of 10S.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount Of
2S0, 1927 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 month or
two at the time these figures were
taken
Encouraging Small Accounts.
"The device of issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps hos 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 a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power ef investment. The
law provides that 29 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."

In other words, Mr.. Taft made 1t
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-
manent position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay, every
year and Mr.. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.
