rAFr TO -oRkrNeMEN

one OF the most effective speeches
made by Mr.. Taft in his tou of the
west was delivered to the represen-
tatives Of the railroad brotherhoods at
Chicago. The speech was typical of
the man and his methods. He did not
appear before the workmen with any
hesitation, any apology or any mincing
phrases. but talked to them with
ruggedly honest, courageous words. He
made no apology for what he had done
and no promise to do otherwise than
he has done. He reviewed the de-
cisions made by him on the bench and
declared hat he had rendered those
decisions in the light of law, reason
and the evidence. Referring to the
democratic proposition for a jury trial
in all cases of contempt of court not
committed in the judicial presence, Mr..
Taft said:
1t may be popular to suggest such a
change. 1t may attract the support and
approval OF those who do not understand
its real effect: but so Ions as I have power
Of expression, and without regard to how
1t may affect me politically, 7 shall lift my
voice in protest against such a destruc-
tive step in our judicial procedure.
The speech was in entire keeping
with the courage and sincerity of the
speaker and drew hearty applause from
the men to whom he spoke, who as
good American citizens despise politi-
clans who merely truckle and flatter for
their votes. He made it plain that a
Judge is bound by the law and the evil
dence rather than by the wishes of poll
t~icians, litigants or special interests,
either of labor or capital.
Perhaps the most effective part Of
Mr.. Taft's address to the railroad men
is his reference to cases which he had
decided in favor Of union labor. Nj.
Bryan and the self-appOinted labor
leaders who have been trying and
promising to deliver the labor vote
to the democratic ticket, have been at
pains to conceal all of Mr.. Tafts judi
cial record, except what might be
position to the rights of labor. Mr..
Taft's exposure of this manipulation
of the records turned the light on the
%insincerity and unfairness of the labor
leaders retained for Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Taft can afford to be judged on his
record by any impartial jury of in
telligent workingmen.

PERILoUS POLITICAL ACRoBATIcs.

PERlLOUS POLITICAL ACROBATICS.
The demo-pop candidate for gov-
ernor in Nebraska is attempting to per-
form a marvellous feat Of perilous po-
litical a%crobatics. He is trying to
make a race astride at least three
horses pulling in three different direc-
tons.
Candidate Shallenberger secured
preference for nomination because he
possessed the democratic qualification
of previous defeat. When he ran be-
fore he had Mr.. Bryan's personal en-
dorsement, commencing him because
"he favored government ownership of
railroads before | did" but zone of his
platforms this year say anything about
government ownership Of railroads.
In anticipation of a primary fight
Candidate Shallenberger projected a
personal platform by the open letter
route on which he asked support, in
Guiding as one of the main items the
initiative and referendum. The dem
ocratic platform trainers forgot to put
the initiative and referendum into their
declaration of principles, although
it has found it's way into the populist
propaganda. AS a populist Candidate
| Shallenberger is for the initiative and
referendum, but as a democrat. abiding
by the rule that a platform is as bind
ing for what it omits as for what it
contains, he is against the initiative
and referendum.
Another hurdle over which Candi-
date Shallenberger will have to turn
a somersault is made up Of the popu-
list platform pledge of county option.
AS the populist candidate Mr.. Shallen-
berger must be for county option, but
as the democratic candidate, bound by
its omission from the democratic plat.
form, he must be against it.
Candidate Shallenberger is thus in
the uncomfortable position of pretend.
ing to be for and against these severa
positive propositions at n and the
same time, and being under the un
escapable necessity of appealing foI
support from two classes of voters will
the fixed intention Of fooling one clas'
or the other. The only question il
whether the voters will stand to b.
fooled after election or will protec
him no chance to trick them.

ruAT GUARANTEE LAW.
oLIahoms'S Fad develops Novel Kinks
III Practice.
Pittsburg Dispatch

Pittsburg Dispatch. .
Apparently Mr.. Bryan has dropped his
latest pet fiscal issue almost at the in
ception of the campaign. We refer to the
guarantee of bank deposits. And it is no
wonder Mr.. Bryan has dropped it.
Down in Oklahoma, the state where Mi.
Bryan's friend, Charles y. Haskell. is gov
crnor, they have a bank deposit guarantee
law. 1t is administered by a banking com
missioner-an appointee Of Governor Has.
kcll.
Recently this commissioner refused to
grant charters to two new banks on the
ground they were not needed. lie said the
banking facilities of the towns where these
banks were to be located were ample to
accommodate the public. But one of the
banks appealed to court.
Logan county circuit court has ruled the
act does not confer power upon the COM
missioner to reject applications simply be-
cause the field is occupied. The commits
sioner, however, has appealed TO the SUI
preme court, and AYERS these applicants
have no knowledge Of the banking BUSH
ness. 1t remains to be seen whether this
new plea is sufficient to bar the new banks
from obtaining a charter.
Meanwhile new banks arc being organ
lied at a rate never before heard Of. one
town, with less than GOO population, has
two national tanks and ono state bank.
A new state bank has been organized. An
other town of less than 500 population has
four banks. and another desires to break in.
Under the guarantee Of deposits law a
new bank necessarily has the same security
as one already established. In like manner
the men without knowledge of the bank
ing business" to use the phrase Of the
commissioner, may have their deposits guar
anteed on the same basis as the expert
bankers.
Naturally the experts object 10 the others
oming into the field to compete with them.
They realize that with so many banks
striving for a share of so little business
dangerous methods will he introduced. es-
pecially by those who "havc no knowledge
etc. And they understand they are liable
for the other fellows deposits. which
means his loans.
So, in Oklahoma, the guarantee of de-
posits law already spells disaster unless
the courts read into the act a discretionary
power for the banking commissioner to re-
fuse charters. Suppose the commissioner
some time should be one without knowl-
edge etc. or, suppose he should use his
claimed discretion to maintain a monopoly?
Could Oklahoma tolerate a banking monop-
oily? Or could it survive unlimited banking
by persons without knowledge etc. and
without scruples?

4 NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.

One Of the most interesting an
nouncements from the tuberculosis
at Washington is the state
ment of Surgeon Wright of the United
States navy that he and other men,
bers of his corps have for some time
been experimenting with mercury as
a specific for tuberculosis with mar
velous results. Surgeon Wright has
been particularly cautious about max
ing claims for his specific, but the re-
suits of tests made by him and his
staff have convinced many prominent
physicians in the congress that a dis
covery has been made which will be of
lasting value TO the world.
In one case reported by Surgeon
Wright. a naval officer supposed to be
dying Of tuberculosis. with one lung
wholly infected and the other partially
so, was given the mercury treatment
Within a few weeks he had entirely re,

state law designed to lessen the num-

to a showing that many Of the automo-
bile accidents are caused by chauffeurs
machines without the permission
of the owners and going out for 10y
rides In such cases, the courts held
that the owners of the machines were
not responsible for damages from ac-
cidents and the new law is expected to
remedy the defect,
