REJECTS EULOGY OF TAFT
Bryan Regards Endorsement cf No
Value Unless Candidate Makes Good.

Bryan Regards Endorsement cf No
Value Unless Candidate Makes Good.
Baltimore, Sept. 15.-"A few plain
simple sentences from Mr.. Taft will
be worth more than the eulogy that
the president pronounces. The presi-
dents endorsement is of no value un-
less the president will agree to stay
in Washington and see that Mr.. Taft
makes good"
In these words William J. Bryan
summed up his opinion Of the letter
of President Roosevelt commendatory
Of tMr. Taft "It was expected, of
course" said Mr.. Bryan, "that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would support Mr..
Taft. He could hardly do less in view
of the fact that he selected him as the
administration candidate and support
ed him with all the influence that the
administration could bring to bear
"The presidents letter, however,
may be objected to as irrelevant, i'm
material and not the best evidence. II

esting to know from Mr. Roosevelt

and work, but as Mr.. Taft is alive and
able to speak for himself, it is hardly
necessary for Mr.. Roosevelt to tell us
what Mr.. Taft will do.
"Mr. Taft is running upon a plat
form which was so unsatisfactory that
ne had to amend it in several import
ant particulars, and yet, even as
amended. 1t gives the public no def
mite idea as to what Mr. Taft stands
for.
"Mr. Taft also has made some
speeches and promises to make some
more. The ones he has already made
have not thrown any light upon the
political situation, but it Is to be hoped
that he will yet decide to define his
position with sufficient clearness to
enable the public to know what he
stands for.
1T Is not sufficient for the president
to say that Mr.. Taft is friend of la
bor. That is subject upon which the
laboring man Is entitled to an opinion,

Appeal Will Be Made.

Washington, Sept. 11.-That an ap-
peal doubtless will be taken within
the next sixty days directly to the Ssu-
preme court Of the United States from
the decision of the United States cir
cult court at Philadelphia declaring
unconstitutional the commodities
clause Of the Hepburn act, was the
statement OF Acting Attorney General
Russell.
In ordinary cases an appeal would
lie to the United States court of ap-
peals, but section two of the act of
Feb. II, 1908, provides that in every
suit in equity pending or hereafter
brought in any circuit court of the
United States under any of the acts
regulating commerce wherein the
United States is complainant, an ap-
peal from the final decree of the cir
cult court will lie only to the supreme
court of the United States.

Nelson Draws Color Line and Viii
Never Meet a colored Man Again.
San Francisco, Sept. 10.-Battling
Nelson clinched his claim to the light
weight pugilistic championship by de-
feating Joe Cans for the second time
at the Colma arena. The fight ended
In the twenty-flrst round, when Cans,
beaten down by succession of blows
from his sturdy conqueror, failed to
get upon his feet within the count OF
ten. The veteran colored fighter was
severely punished, but the champion,
too, bore the marks Of battle. From
the first clang of the gong to the last
moment Nelson forced the fighting.
never giving ground, and gradually
battered down his older and less vigor-
Gus opponent.
Cans succumbed In the twenty-first
round after being numerically
trounced. Nelson in this round rained
right and left blows to the jaw and
body, and Cans sank to the floor. Me
chanically the now defeated fighter
watched Referee Eddie Smith wave
his hands, apparently too far gone to
hear him count. Not until the count
of ten was finished did Cans, asher
pale, his face terribly cut and his eyes
CLASSY, attempt to rise. He realized
however, that it was too late, and
feebly declared: ''I have positively
| fought my last battle"
The fight was spectacular, and at
no time did it appear that Cans had q
chance to win. Time and again he
would shoot wicked punches to Mel
sons face and body, but the latter
never for an instant wavered Failing
10 arrest the rushing champion at any
stage, Cans seemed to lose heart and
gradually weakened, though he often
rallied and fought back fiercely.
When Cans was seen in his dress
ing room his face presented terrible
| picture. His right eye was closed, the
left partially SO; his lips and nose
were badly lacerated, and his face
was puffed out like an inflated bal
loon. He gave out the following state
ment:
II made one fight too many. Nelson
is a tough boy and beat me fairly.
will never fight again. This is nc
Patti farewell, but in dead earnest"
Willie Keefe, one of Cans principal
seconds, said after the fight: "Gans
was all in after the ninth round. In
the eleventh I begged him to allow me
to toss the sponge into the ring. This
he would not allow me to do, saying
he preferred to be knocked out and
would fight as long as he had the
strength to stand up. For eleven
rounds Cans fought on his courage
alone, as he could not land damag
ing punch"
Nelson said: "Gans was tougher
than before. He was in good shape
and he fought me different kind OF
fight. From now on I will never
fight colored man again. I shook
hands with Billy Papke and we both
made the compact"

HE. sHIRKs OLD POLICIES

Republican Nominee Says Leader Of
Democracy In Selecting Campaign
Issue Considers Only Its PLAUSIBLE
ity In Attracting votes-Mr. Taft
Declares He Tried to Make His Po-
sltion Clear and Stands On His Rec
ord In Office and What He Said.
Cincinnati, Sept 15.-Asserting that
his official record, his speech Of ac-
ceptance and subsequent utterances
are ample indications Of his own po-
ntical position, William H. Taft replied
to Mr.. Bryan's comment on the Roose-
velt letter. by switching the spot light
political record, and making an analy-
sis thereof. This is Mr.. Tafts reply:
I'm my notification speech, and in
other speeches made since, l attempt
ed to make clear my position on all
the issues Of the campaign. If Mr..
Bryan has been unable to understand
them cannot make them clear.
stand on my record in office and what
have said. Mr.. Bryan should devote
little time to his own record, from
which he seems to be struggling to
separate himself, with all the adroit-
ness acquired in twelve years hunt
for an issue on which he can be elect
ed president. The readiness with
which Mr.. Bryan in successive presi-
dental campaigns passes from one
paramount issue to another shows
that the chief consideration which has
affected his selection of an issue has
been it's plausibility in attracting
votes. He presents the remarkable
spectacle of a man who has been seek
ing the presidency for twelve years
without success and without official
responsibility, and without the oppor-
tunity to test the various propositions
which he has advocated for reforms,
and yet of having the event demon
strate what a colossal failure he would
have made in each instance had he
been permitted to carry his proposals
| into the policies of the country. He
does not now say whether he Is still
| in favor of the free coinage of silver.
He does not now answer the question
whether, If he were president and an
exigency should arise in which he
would be called upon to exercise his
discretion afirmatively to maintaining
| the parity between gold and silver, he
would exercise that discretion.
"He now says that he favors the
more rigid regulation of the railroads
In 1895 he expressed the view that the
| railroads could not be regulated be
cause the railroads would own the
| regulators appointed by law, and there
fore he was in favor of government
ownership. We hear nothing from
him on this subject. The country has
been most fortunate that the fallacy
| of Mr.. Bryans railroad proposition
has been exposed without the cost OF
putting them into actual governmental
practice, and It will be fortunate, In
deed, If the danger of four years de-
preston, to which 1t would be exposed
in case Of Mr.. Bryan's election, may
be averted, and if by Republican sue
cess in November, and subsequent
prosperity and by clinching of the
Roosevelt policies, he may be again
shown to be prophet without honor

figures as to the flow may be at

be invaluable in aiding water

He is doing for New Mexico
Territory what Washington did
for the nation.
