Upheld by Good Lawyers.

In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Taft,
referring to the suggestion that trial by
Jury be required in all cases of indirect
contempt, says: "Never in the history
of the country has there been such an
insidious attack upon the judicial system
as the proposal to interject jury trial
between all orders of the court made after
full hearing and the enforcement of such
orders"
But the United States Senate in June,
1896. undertook to make just such pro-
vision. Senator Plat of Connecticut was
the only Republican to speak against it.
John Sherman of Ohio. William B. ALI
son of Iowa, Eugene Hale of Maine. Jo-
seph B. Hawley Of Connecticut, Justin
s. Morrill, of Vermont, Knute Nelson of
Minnesota and Francis e. Warren Of
Wyoming were among the Republican
Senators present when this bill passed.
Presumably they voted for it. There was
no roll call. At least they did not vote
against it. nor did they speak against it.
In the Senate at the time and voting
for this measure there were-besides the

cumulative harshness in that her face,
above all others, so fragile, of purest line,
should meet the coarse element, burning
dirt. Furies leaped upon him that he
had not saved her.
''The water is still hot in the bottom OF

An interminable interval passed before

Mr.. Taft and Guaranteed Deposits.

Mr.. Taft and Guaranteed Deposits.
In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Taft
puts himself squarely on record as being
opposed to guaranteed deposits. He says:
1.-The Democratic platform recommends a
tax upon national banks and upon such
State banks as may come in, in the ma
ture of enforced insurance to raise a
guaranty fund to pay the depositors of
any bank which fails The proposal is
wholly impracticable unless it is to be
accompanied by a complete revolution in
our banking system with supervision
so close as practically to create a gov
eminent bank. If the proposal were
adopted exactly as the Democratic plat
form suggests, it would bring the whole
banking system of the country down in
ruin"
Why seek to confuse the people on a
simple proposition? We are supposed to
have government supervision of national
banks now. Supervision does not mean a
government bank it simply means that
the national bank inspectors will do just
as they are expected to do under existing
law--make their examination of banks
thorough and make prompt and effective
SOAACSIAOh VI cAy ulSSOfClCN
So it will be difficult to brighten the peo-
pie by the claim that guaranteed deposits
means thorough supervision of banks
That's just exactly what the people want
1t is absurd to say that guaranteed de-
posits would bring the whole banking
system of the country down to ruin"
What does guaranteed deposits" mean?
1t means that the savings of the masses
shall be secured so that when men and
women deposit their hard-earned money
in banking institutions, they need not
worry for fear it will be lost through the
recklessness and dishonesty of bank Off
Gals. The federal government demands
of these banks security for the money it
deposits. AS a rule State governments
and county governments and municipal
governments make similar requirements.
But now that it is proposed that deposit
ors generally shall have some such as
surance for the safe keeping of their
wealth, we are told by the Republican
candidate for the presidency that the
adoption of such a plan would bring

Faith of the Interests, Too.

Referring to Mr.. Taft's speech of ac
ceptance, the Chicago Record Herald
(Rep.) says: 1.-THE speech justifes the
faith of the Republican masses, who be-
lieve as we have said that the candidate
is more progressive than his platform
1t stamps him as sincere progressive
who heartily approves and who would
carry forward the Roosevelt policies, and
who at the same time would illustrate in
his acts his thought that the chief func
ton of the next administration is dis
tinct from and a progressive development
of that which has been performed by
President Roosevelt The character that
shines through the speech is that of the
big, sane, sober man bent upon equal JUS
tice for all, and it will probably have no
little effect with those independent voters
whose support is invited in the closing
words
Mr.. Taft did, it is true, have a great
deal to say about Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt policies. But before the Rec
ord Herald can persuade the masses that
they may depend upon Mr.. Taft for re-
form measures it will have to explain
how it happens that in spite of his extrav-
agant praise for the Roosevelt policies
Mr. Taft yet retains the enthusiastic
support of the representatives of special
interests.
For instance in the same issue in
which the Record Herald says editorially,
''The speech justifes the faith of the Re-

RUSSIAN RAILROAD STORY.

How Student Thought to Relieve
the Tedium of Travel.
The tedium of railroad travelling in
Russia was relieved the other day in
an unexpected manner, says the Lon
don Globe In compartment OF the
train going from Kursk to Kiev sat a
beautiful young lady next to a chatty
priest, with whom she held an animated
conversation. Opposite sat student
who envied the priest the causerie he
was enjoying.
AS the evening came on the girl fell
asleep and the priest nodded his head
in slumber That was an opportunity
which no self-respecting joker could
afford to let slip. Bending forward
the student kissed the sleeping damsel
and sprang back into his seat.
The salute awakened the girl, who,
thinking that it was her leighbor, the
priest, who had dared to kiss her,
Jumped up and gave him a sounding
box on the ears. The student rejoiced
greatly There was a commotion, the
pOl1cemdn accompanying Tic tidlu was
summoned, and he at once drew up a
''protocol'' against the wronged priest,
while the student offered to appear as
4 witness in the law court at Kiev.
But at the last moment young jew
ess who had been sitting in a dark
corner unobserved by anybody stepped
forward, exonerated the poor priest
from the terrible accusation, and then
1t was the students turn to feel miser-
able.

publican masses who believe that the can
didate is more progressive than his plat
FORM we find the following extracts
from editorials printed in newspapers
that are generally recognized as the
spokesman for special interests:
New York Sun Mr. Taft's speech, de-
plorable as it is will not lose him a Re-
publican vote. What a relief it must be
to him to-day to have the fearful thing
off his mind, and off his conscience; and
how ardently he must look forward to the
time when he can say things and do
things not because they are to make votes
for him, but because they are the right
things to say and the right things to do.
The nauseating incubus beneath which
he staggers in nearly every sentence
would suffocate any ordinary man. Will
liam III. Taft deserves the prayers as well
as the votes of every decent citizen IN
the countr. And when he is freed from
his dread obsession and once more walks
in sunshine that knows no mortgage, he
will show his fellow men that no vicissi-
tudes save death alone can forever frus-
trate or subdue an honest man.
Milwaukee Sentinel: A pervading tone
of calm good sense and a marked abb
sence of stump oratory claptrap and stage
thunder agreeably characterize Mr.. Taft's
speech of acceptance. It therefore affords
a needed relief from a style Of declama-
ton that has been much dinned in the
ears of our people of late years. "Come,
let US reason together" may be called the
keynote of the Republican candidates dis
cussion Of principles at issue between the
parties. The speech, therefore, evinces
that genuine respect for the intelligence
and fundamental fairness of the people

down to ruin"
1t is to save the banking business and
to save the peoples money that the plan
Of guaranteed deposits is advocated by
Democrats. It is strange that Mr.. Taft
and the big bankers for whom he speaks
can not see that the guaranteed deposits
system is absolutely necessary for the
prevention of panics, for the safe keeping
of the money of the masses and for the
preservation of the banking business in
the hands of individuals.

IL Not. Why Not!

In his decision in the Standard Oil
case, Judge Grosscup said: mo monarch,
no parliament, no tribunal of western
Europe, for centuries, has pretended to
have the right to punish except after due
trial under all the forms of law. Can
that rightfully be done here, on no other
basis than the judges personal belief that
the party marked by him for punishment
deserves punishment? If so, it is because
the man who hapens to be the judge is
above the law"

with Every Hope of Success:

With Every Hope of Success!
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Taft
says: IF l am elected President l shall
urge upon Congress, with every hope of
success, that law be passed requiring
the filing in a federal office of state
ment of the contributions received by
committees and candidates in elections for
members of Congress, and in such other
elections as are constitutionally within
the control of Congress. Meantime the
Republican party by the election of a
New York treasurer has subjected all its
receipts and expenditures to the compul-
sorry obligation of such a law
But why with every hope of success"
Did the letter Mr.. Taft wrote to Sen
ator Burrows, urging the adoption of
such law, have any effect upon the Re-
publican Congress?
Did the recommendation of Mr.. Roose-
welt have any effect upon the Republican
Congress?
The Taft letter and the Roosevelt rec
ommendation were given to Congress
while a presidential election was APP
preaching If Republican Congress
would not act under those circumstances
with what reason does Mr.. Taft say that
after the presidential election he would
urge such measure with every hope of
success?"
The Republican party in national con-
vention assembled voted down a public
ity plank by "a yeas to $50 nays.
Meantime let it be remembered that
the publicity favored by Mr.. Taft is an
AFTER" election publicity. In other
words, the people will be told who the
financial hackers of the Republican party
are when it is too late for the people to
profit by the information.

TreaSOn!

We would not for the world engage in
criticism of the court. But surely there
can be no harm in reproducing Repub-
lican editorial (for whoever knew Re-
publican editorial to be out of accord
with the accepted rules of polite socfety?)
The New York Press, Republican pa
per, referring to the Grosscup decision,
says:
''The judgment of the Court of Appeals,
which calls for careful scrutiny and cool
reading, can not alter the public convic-
ton that the offenders behind the Stand
ard Oil corporation in it's rebate crimes
deserve to be in the penitentiary and will
be sent there when the law is enforced
by those who take oaths to administer it"

Not for the Income Tax.

Let no one be misled on the theory that
Mr.. Taft has declared for the income tax.
The following is from Mr.. Taft's speech
of acceptance: II believe that an income
tax. when the protective system of Gus
toms and the internal revenue tax will
not furnish income enough for govern
mental needs, can and should be devised"
In other words, Mr.. Taft is for an in
come tax conditionally. Whenever the
government can not secure enough reve-
nue. through a system of taxing men ac-
cording to what they eat and wear, then
he would be in favor of taxing them ac-
cording to their income.
