tice In partial self-government to
govern themselves. 1t Is a task full
of difficulty, and one which many
Americans would be glad to be rid of.
1t has been suggested that we might
relieve ourselves of this burden by
tho sale of the islands to Japan or
some other country. The suggestion
Is absurd. Japan does noe want the
Philippines. She has a problem Of
similar nature nearer home. But
more than this, the United States
could not sell the islands to another
power without the grossest violation
of its obligations to the Philippine
people. No other conrse In honor is
open to 1t. Under all these circum-
stances, then, could anything be lore
wicked and more infamous than the
suggestion of war between nations
who have enjoyed such a time hon
ored friendship and who have nothing
to fight for?"
In the fervor of his protestations
of American amity for the Japanese
Mr.. Taft kept far away from the over
sentimental vein, which might have
laid a less experienced statesman
open to the criticism Of administering
soft solder" to the Emperor and his
ministers. Through the entire speech
ran a broad. blazed trail of American
spirit and fearlessness.

Mr.. BRYAN AND
BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

Those who are declaring with light
hearts, here and there. that the cleo
tion of Mr.. Bryan would cause no dis
turbance and do little harm because
his hands would be firmly tied by a
Republican Senate, do not weigh care
fully the elements which make up
business confidence. Whether Mr..
Bryan succeeded in doing much direct
injury to the public credit and to bus
mess progress by his wierd notions on
public finance is not so much the
question as the indirect injury he
would do by the d%istrust which would
be caused in business circles by his
election, and which would probably
be prolonged through his administra-
ton. 1t Is doubtful II large interests
would care to embark on new enter
prises under a government whose ex-
ecuttve head had declared hat "the
gold standard is a conspiracy against
the human race and that it would
remain in force no longer than he
could get rid of It.. There is no indi-
cation as yet that Mr.. Bryan has sx-
perienced a great change of heart on
these questions. On the contrary, his
last convention at Denver expressly
declared that IL there was to be an
Vu4Ct ESuSy SulicLSs ouVu CuilSuVy
should be issued and controlled by
the Federal Government" In other
words. free silver having been rele-
gated to the garnet, a still cheaper
substitute Is to be found In free Gov
eminent paper.
The actual execution Of such
projects may seem remote, but 1t
would be so easily in the power of a
Bryan Secretary of the Treasury to
bring anxiety and disturbance into
the market that something like par
alysis would be likely to afiict the
business community during his en-
which would come home directly to
every working man, In a restricted
volume of business and the curtail-
ment of employment. The great cap
italists and railway pioneers are In
doubtedly prepared to go forward
with construction and improvements
upon a large scale If the election
inspires their confidence. They will
withhold their enterprises and keep
business within narrow limits under a
President whom they distrust. For
the working man. therefore, who de-
sires the continuance of the full din
ner pail and a well lined pocket, a
vote for Mr.. Bryan means a vote
squarery against his own interests.
II Is doubtful If any declaration
which Mr.. Bryan could make in the
desperate scramble for votes would
change this feeling of >distrust into
confidence.

TAFT ENDORSES KANSAS IDEA.

In unison with careful business
men irrespective of party affiliations
In regarding the bank deposits guar
anty scheme of Bryan as %impractica-
BILE and unfeasible. JudgesTaft has no
hesitancy in accepting the plank in
the Kansas platform declaring for the
voluntary guarantee of bank deposits.
In a letter to w. r.. Stubs, Republic
can candidate for Governor of Kan
sas, Mr.. Taft thus indorses this plank:
II agree with you that the action
Of the Republicans of Kansas to an
enabling act, by which banks in Kan
sas may voluntarily guarantee each
others deposits, isivery different from
the proposition in the Democratic
platform enforcing a tax against all
banks. by which they are in effect to
guarantee the recklessness and dis
honesty of every other bank.
81 sincerely believe that the prop
osition In the Kansas platform avoids
altogether the objections which /
urged in my speech of acceptance to
the Democratic proposition for a ma
tional enforced insurance of deposits
in all banks. The Kansas proposition
comes within the saving clause which
/ expressly inserted to show that the
objection I had to make was not ap-
piicable to such a SYSTEM"

A TILLMAN FOR TAFT.

Tillman is a name SC intimately as
sociated with everything anti-Repub-
lican that it could not fail to elicit
comment should one of that name,
and particularly of the immediate
family of Senator Ben r. Tillman. OF
South Carolina, be found outside the
Democratic ranks. This Is. however,
so in the case of the pitchfork Sena-
tors own cousin, d. A. Tillman. OF
Lynchhurg, Va. He has come out for
Judge Taft, and this 10 how it hap
pened:
The transference of fcalty OF the
young Virginian Is the result of visits
as travelling salesman through the
States of Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. He haa found that
there Is q widespread fear through
the secticn in which he travels that
IL Bryan is elected that the return of
prosperous times will be arrested.
He believes that if the South Ia to
continue the stupendous development
that has taken place during the last
decade the National Government must
be based upon sound business prfnci-
pies, and that these principles are
best represented By Mr.. Taft.

PUNCTURE ANOTHER BRYAN
BUBBLE.

Bryan's theories might make good
subjects for debate at schools, and
some of them are novel in conception.
They remind, however, of the story
OF finding on q mar who had starved
to death In a garnet in London an
elaborate scheme for funding the
English national debt. Governor
Hughes dealt on Thursday in his
speech at the Richmond County Fair
with Bryan's production restriction
theory. 1t might have been treated
in an humorous vein. II is irresisti-
bly, funny If not fraught with possible
disastrous consequences.
Mr.. Hughes said: when any man
coolly proposes that he will If en-
powered, and secure If he is. able, a
prohibition that no concern shall con-
trol-that is, manufacturers sell
In the United States more than fifty
per cent. Of the product of tie United
States. or the total product OF that
commodity in the United t.ates, he
simply shows that he is proceeding
along the line which inevi; bly, leads
TO disaster, because of it's ! ter disre-
gard Of the facts OF business"

NORTH CAROLINA FOR TAFT.

Taft sentiment is so pronounced In
the South as to give strength to the
belief that the breaking of the y"Solid
South" Is near at hand. This is par
ticularly the case in North Carolina.
John c. Capers, of Charleston, 8. c.,
who has been studying conditions In
North Carolina, is convinced that the
sentiment is so strong in that State as
to safely place 1t in the Republican
column. Said he: with the posi-
BILE exception of Maryland, the Re-
publicans have a better chance of car
rying North Carolina this year than
OF carrying any Southern State, not
even excepting Missouri or Kentucky.
Ii the business men of North Carolina
have the courage to vote to their con-
victions, there will be no doubt about
the Republicans carrying the State.
Four years ago the $4,000 Repub-
lican votes came mostly from the
country districts. The business men
are apprehensive of the election of
Mr.. Bryan, and / believe that they
VIII march up to the polls and vote
against HIM"

NEARLY ALL NEGROES FOR
TAFT.

1t Is significant that many of Mr..
Taft's visitors are negro clergymen
who desire to assure the Republican
candidate of their support. Rev. C. 8.
Gee. OF Greenfield, Ohio, who, as pre-
siding elder of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church of the district, came
to ask the candidate to address the
church's conference. Mr.. Taft ac-
cepted the invitation, and will make
a non-partisan address. In an inter-
view Rev. Mr.. Gee said:
"Ninety-nine per cent. of the negro
vote of the Nation will be cast for
Judge Taft. / have Travelled all over
Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania and vir-
giLia, and / know whereof | speak,
The Rev. Mr.. Robinson, who is d.
rector Of the first negro Taft club or
ganized and incorporated in this
country, was as emphatic al Mr.. Gee
in his assertion that Mr. Taft would
receive practically the entire negro
vote.

DECLARE AGAINST GOMIERs.

A serious movement in rebellion
against the Gompers plan to deliver
the labor vote has shown itself. The
Cgarmakers' Union, from which
Gompers formerly held a working
card, has passed resolutions con-
demning him and the executive coun-
ell OF the American Federation for
having by their action retarded the
progress of organized labor" The
Gompers delivery plan has been even
more strongly assailed by the district
organization in New York, represent
ing eighteen locals and $4,000 mem
bers. Gompers' request for funds to
be used in Bryan's campaign was CON
t~enptuously rejected by the hotel and
restaurant mems union of the same
citF. The conservative wing Of trades
unfonism has been very much affront-
ed by GomDers' autocratic delivery
pan, and his action is likely to result
IN a tidal wave of resentment.

Such a man we must have II we
would make history that is gloriousiy
humane" said the Rev. Francis B.
Short. a Methodist clergyman of Gin
cinnati, regarding William II. Taft,
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States.
"Gloriousfy humane!p 1t Is a
splendid expression, and 1t pictures
just the kind of history that William
III. Taft has helped to make and will
make for the United States-the kind
of history he has made in the Philip
pines, in Cuba, in Panama and In our
own country, as the humane and i'm
partial judge and faithful and fear
less administrator. With Taft as
President the United States will go
forward to those greater triumphs of
civilization, that higher level Of hui
mar endeavor and achievement to-
ward which all thoughtful men and
women, too, arc struggling, when
the Golden Rule will be the rule of
daily life, and everybody will do to
others as he would that others should
do unto him.
1t Is not a dream, a mere fancy OF
what may come to pass. Every step
in true national progress, every treaty
of arbitration, every act serving to
win the affection, In place of fear and
distrust, Of weaker races like the
Fi.ipinos, to America and Americans,
makes for history that is "gloriously
humane" and with Tat in the White
House the American people will be
sure that their chief magistrate will
be first in the ranks In those victories
OF peace. of Justice, of education and
intellect that are moro glorioas than
the greatest triumphs OF war. Taft's
administration will be "~slorieusly
humane
