LINCOLN'S BRIEF
SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.
%5Taparison 1ade Between II and
The Speech rIade Recently by
Mr. Taft.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The minds and thoughts of many
people are exercised over the prolong-
ed, complicated and ponderous pro-
ceedings of the two great political par
ties in nominating and putting forth
their Presidential candidates Thought
full persons thing there has been too
much fOrmality, method and ceremony
in Republican country, such as this.
These things are well enough to a rea-
sonable and proper extent, but should
not be INDUCED IN to an extent that
savors of European or monarchial
formalities and methods. Nominating
proceedings forty orftftyyears ago We're
very different, much simpler, more
prompt and in accordance with true
Americanism.
Let US refer to the case Of t e great
Abraham Lincoln. His first nomination
was made in the month of May, 1860,
at Chicago. On the 23rd Of that month
a committee went to Springfield, H.,
his home, to inform him of his nomi-
nation. His letter of acceptance con-
tanned only twelve lines and one humid
red and fifty words as found in H. J.
Rayman's Life of Lincoln. 1t was
merely one of thanis, acceptance and
approval of the Chicago platform.
He was renominated by the Republi-
can convention in Baltimore June 81,
1864. He was waited on by a com
mittee, headed by Gov. VIM Denison of
Ohio, at the White House, 10 inform
him of his second nomination, unanim-
Gus, for the Presidency His reply, as
before, was by letter containing twenty
lines and two hundred words. He sim
ply accepted the nomination with
grateful thanks, with an approval of
the platform upon which his nominal
ton was made. His language was di-
rect, explicit, and clear, with a mean
ing which none could fail to under
stand, and even feel. Such was Lin
coin at all times ami upon all occa-
sions. But what can the many do with
the letters or speech of acceptance of
W. H. Taft, our candidate, consisting
900 words? Who has the time to
lad tn m?
This paper is not intended as a
criticism of the doings at the present
day of the two great political parties,
but rather to show how much more
simple similar proceedings We're con
Quoted in former times, and thus show
the contrast between now and then.
This comes from one who, has voted
at sixteen Presidential elections in the
good old State of Maryland, always one
way. Only few such alive.

A HIGH PRICE OBTAINED
FOR ROAD BONDS
Members of the State Board of Public
Works Pleased Over Sale.

Maryland's financial credit was dem
olstrated to be all right Saturday, when
tle Board Of Public Works received and
accepted a bid of the Safe Deposit and
! Trust Company of Baltimore for 500,
900 Of the states stock at $10O.O5. This
is the first SAL of the s., 900, 600 stock
authorized by the last legislature for
good roads. The bid which was the
only one submitted, was at the rate of
one-half per cent. above par The
stock bears interest at the rate of 81
per cent. per annum.
The sale of stock will be followed by
! other sales, as money is needed from
time to time to meet expenditures for
| improvement of public roads. OF the
total issue of $1,000, 600 authorized by
the General Assembly the $1,000, 600
will be turned over to Baltimore and
will be expended in improving the
turnpikes leading into the city from the
country.
Governor Crothers, Comptroller Her
ing and Treasurer Vandiver, who consti-
tute the Board of Public Works were
greatly gratifed at the bid Of the Safe
Deposit and Trust Company. While it
was the only bid, they believe that it
has fixed the price for bids which will
be submitted for later issues of state
stock. The high price is all the more
gratifying, according to Treasurer Van
diver, because at this time there is no
demand for state securities by trust
companies as a guarantee as required
by law.
The bid is viewed wholly as an invest
ment, and as such 1t takes rank with
United States bonds which pay per
cent. Government bonds are, however,
in extraordinary demand for national
banks for circulation purposes.
When Maryland went into the mar
ket, two years ago, to buy state stock
as an offset, under the Constitution, to
the sale of the states interest in the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and later
Of the states interest in the Washing
ton branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, that stock was
bought at a figure somewhat below par.
Hence, the greater qualification yes
terday that the stock was sold above
par.
In 1904 the state stock sold at 102. 163
the annual interest rate being 81, but
those were the times when there was
an extraordinary demand for state Sc
curiues. The income from the sale
went at once into the states sinking
fund
When all of the $1,000, Geo stock for
road improvement shall have been dis
posed of the state will have total in
debtedness of about SIP, 900, 600. Against
the state debt there is a sinking fund
of over 81, 900, 900. When viewed from
all SIDES of the total state debt, plus the
issue of s., 900, 600 for roads, will only
be slightly in excess of the new loan,
for the Northern Central annuity Of
800, 900 and other investments by the
state must be taken into consideration.

TO SAVE DAMAGES
Railways Increase Charges for
Freight Where Packages Are
Not Properly Put Up
MANY ROADS IN NEW DEAL

More than 400 railroads which have
lines in what is termed official classif-
cation territory will begin tomorrow
charging 20 per cent more than the
regular rates to such shippers as do
not pack their consignments securely,
safely and in accordance with the new
requirements.
The movement has been started by
the eastern railroads in the hope Of
compelling the shippers to spend addi-
tional millions in preparing their goods
for shipment in order that the railroads
may save millions from their annual bill
for loss and damage to freight. During
a tWelvemonth the railroads of the
country pay approximately $24,0o0,000
for loss and damage.
In the stress of competition in the
past the railroads have permitted the
shippers to pack their goods about as
they saw fit. Now that traffic has fall
len off and the new law has changed
conditions, the railroads insist they
must conserve their revenues wherever
possible They are looking around, in
other words, to stop the leaks, and one
of the greatest of these comes from
improperly packed shipments.
On the otner hand, the shippers in the
affected territory east of Chicago to
the seaboard and north Of the Ohio river
to the Canadian border insist they have
been packing securely and that it is. I'M
necessary rough handling that causes
the great damage, It is, therefore, in
sisted that it is another effort on the
part of the railroads to increase freight
rates.
Attention is called by the railroads to
the fact that the American consuls are
constantly insisting that this country is
losing a large amount Of export bust
ness by failure of the shippers to pack
securely, and lesson is drawn there.
from. Fruit, it is stated, is often ship
ped in paper crates, which are some
times churned to pulp in transit. To
bacco is sent in strawboard cases which
can be punctured by lead pencil, and
even hardware is not packed securely
enough to prevent its breaking through
the casing.
In connection with the new rules the
following significant statement is made
by Pennsylvania authority: cit is
believed that the time will come, I'M
less shippers are more careful in their
packing, when the carriers will be fore
ed to specify exactly how all commodi-
ties shall be packed and refuse to re-
ceive them for shipment unless the rules
are observed.
