SOME REMARKS BY Mr.. TAFT.

Anything which makes capital
idle. or which reduces or destroys Is
must reduce both wages and oppor-
tunity to earn wages. At Cooper
University, New York City. at
The course Of the administration
has only been directed against such
organized capital as was violating
the statutes of the United States
and no other. The business men of
our community as a whole are honest
and their methods sound. At Bos-
ton, Mass.
The so-called colonial policy of
the United States has added to our
trade already something over 100
million dollars a year."-At Cleve-
land. Ohio. -
The administration Of exact JUS
t!ce by courts without fear or favor.
unmoved BY the influence of the
wealthy or the threats Of the deu,A-
scgues. 10 the highest ideal that \
sovsrnnent Of the people can strive

NOTICE TO ELECTORS,

Several notices have been running
In the papers to the effect that the
books for registration TOR the coming
election. to be held ON November s.
1908. will be. closed on the 26th
inst. and for fear such notice may
be misconstrued and electors led to
believe they may register ON that
date. attention Is called to the fol-
lowing clause Of the City Charter:
Registration may be made at any
time during ONCE hours before the
city clerk Tor any Of the deputy reg
istrars). except that the registration
shall be closed for TEN DAYS next
preceding the date OF any special city
election or primary"
The ten days next preceding the
9Th day OF November would include
the 26th day of October, and as the
day preceding the 26th Is Sunday,
the last day when voters may regis-
ter is the cath day Of October, 1903.

for and any means by which sutton,
however unpopular or poor. Is de-
prived of enjoying this, is to be con-
demned. At Columbus, Ohio.
Il believe that navy is the
greatest insurer of peace that we
could possibly have, a navy common
surate with the number of depend
encies We have, and commensurate
with our population, and commensu-
rate with our influence as a world
power. At Cleveland, Ohio
IF we assume control over a peo-
pie for the benefit of that people (as
in the Philippines), and with the
purpose of developing them to
self governing capacity, and with
the intention of giving them the
right to become independent when
they shall show themselves fit. the
charge that We are imperialists Is
utterly without foundation. At
Cleveland. Ohio.
THE present business system of
the country rests on a protective
tariff, and any attempt to change it
to free trade basis will certainly
lead to disaster. At Columbus,
Ohio
The Democratic party has no
policy which the country can depend
upon. Its whole stock in trade is
that of irresponsible criticism and
obstruction, and when charged with
the responsibility Of doing anything
II utterly fails. At Greensboro. N.
Mr.. Bryan asks me what l would
do with the trusts. | answer that |
would restrain all unlawful trusts
with ar the efficiency of itjunctive
process and would punish them with
all the severity of criminal prose-
cution every attempt on the part
Of aggregated capital to suppress
competition At Columbus, Ohio.

ty during the Civil war was Abra-
ham Lincoln. and it has never lost

WORDS VERSUS WORKS.

Mr.. Bryan's noisy contention that
the Republicans. though in control
Of the government, have not enforc-
ed the Sherman antitrust act is, like
SO many of his assertions, utterly at
variance with the facts. Mark how
plain tale shall sec him down
According to official information
compiled by the dep,,: ;ment Of JUS
tice, there have been instituted dur
ing the Roosevelt administration 22S
violations Of the Sherman act and
the other laws to regulate interstate
commerce. OF these, 70 have been
concluded successful ~. 10 have been
concluded unsuccessfully and 115
are still pending. The fines imposed
a. the result of convictions in crimi
nal cases amounted to $1,20O,325.
Under previous Repub lean admins
trations "A prosecutions We're insti-
tuted Of which IS resulted success
fully and 60 unsuccessfully, while
enc is yet undetermined The fines
imposed in the cases resulting in
convictions amounted to $S,5O1
As against that showing note the
record under Democratic admlnistra-
ton. During the period of Mr..
{ leve land $ service as president there
were instituted under the laws men,
toned so proceedings, civil and
criminal. OF these, IA were con-
cluded successfully. 35 failed and one
still pending. The fines imposed in
cases resulting in conviction amount
ed to $4,000.
Such, briefly stated, is the record
Of the two parties in the matter of
enforcing the antitrust laws. 1t is
a case of Democratic words versus
Republican works. Mr.. Bryan would
punish the violators OF those laws
by drowning them in deluge of su
per-heated epithets The Republic
can policy is to prosecute them un-
der the forms of law and make the
punishment fit the crime in every
proceeding resulting in conviction.
Mr. Bryans whole method Of
dealing with the trust problem is
erratic and ineffective.
The case is one that requires light.
not heat 1t will be solved by ap-
pealing to reason rather than to pas
sion. Mr. Bryan treats 1t as fad.
which may be properly exploited to
promote his selfish political inter-
csts, whereas Repub lean statesman
ship recognizes 1t as matter OF
grave concern to the whole country
and therefore to be withdrawn from
the area Of party controversy and
adjusted in accordance with the re-
quirements Of justice and equity.
So far as enforcing the antitrust
law is concerned. the Republican
party does things, while the Demo-
cratic party merely says things. But
the record confronts Mr.. Bryan and
he cannot refute it, His loose talk
shows either that he is ignorant Of
the plain facts or that he has DELHI
erately misrepresented tdhem.

IDAHO CERTAINLY REPUBLICAN

THE outlook for republican success

handsome majority on joint ballot
and insuring the election Of repub-

This news Is confirmation of
conditions as they have impressed
others in touch with the campaign In
Idaho. 1t may be impressive news In
the East to democrats to hear that
Idaho is for Bryan and at least in the
doubtful column. but democrats In
Idaho, except the few who are whist
ling to keep up their courage. know
that the state Is safe to count its
electoral vote In the sum total that
will elect william H. Taft to the pres
idency
Not only that, but the legislature
chosen will be largely republican
There will be no chances taken In
the election of a United States sen.
ator nor in the return OF a republic

tariff Is to be revised according ia
the program outlined by the republic
fans. Idaho has many interests to

majority to help draft tarifY revision.

Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-01-22

just KNEW that we would have "a
plenty
was somewhat older In the bust
ness, however, and l took along a
nitric acid jar. had also, at a nov
city store in Bisbee, bought for the
inconsequential sum of two bits. the
cutest and most perfect artificial
barber pole snake I ever saw. It
was a combination OF cotton and par
affine and impervious to the elixir
in which ! proposed to preserve it.
When we had got to the Tigre
easily discovered that the essential
life preserver was going to run
Shy" Then I slid into the store
room one night, and I funneled that
nitric acid Jar full of LENS best,
after dropping the snake in anead OF
the proceeding.
Then / continued to draw my ra-
tons until the last drop was gone,
and then you ought to see those old
Lizards roast. Nothing was fit to
eat any more. The horses were
rough. they noticed ali the rocks in
the road, their boots pinched, even
their tobacco was rotten and all
this time everything suited me. I
was on the crest of radiant expecsz-
ton and absolute contentment. My
euanimity and. even, enthusiasm
were the remark OF the whole outfit
For three days this was kept up, on
til, as we approached the line, the
boys observed Gaat the preserving
fluid in which my snake was inn
mersed had nearly all evaporated. I
had Rugged that jar close to my
heart. No one was ever so jealous
of a reptilliaH specimen as was OF
that barber-pole snake. Then Lee
began to suspicion that there was
something under the bed.
Just as the train was whistling
into Aqua Prieta raised that nitric
acid jar; and, in the presence of the
whole party. took one long, lingering
drink, which left the convo-
buttons Of my beloved specimen clear
above the surface. Then Lee reached
for it. He sloshed the few remain
ing spoonfuIs around till he got hold
Of the snakes tail. Then he twisreu
It deftly off and discovered the de
ception. Then ;le drank what was
left. threw the jar through the win
dow which happened to be down at
the time. and the way escaped mob
bling could not be duplicated IN hun
bred years.
Moral: Don't go too much on
