HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KINLEY.
The Manner in Which the Republi-

The Manner in Which the Republi-
can Candidate Was Called to a
Larger Sphere of Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William ii. Taft was debating
a decision of the United States Court
In the Federal Building in Cincinnati
telegram was placed in his hands
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find telegram from Presi'
dent William Mckinley. reading:
Il shall take it as a great favor If you
will call on me some time next week"
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong
He went to Washington and was shown
into room at the White House. where
he met the President and Secretar y
Long OF the Navy. Later. Elihu Root,
the Secretary Of War. came in. Then,
TO use Mr., Taft's own words:
"Mr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be-
sides, ] believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
but we have them and must take
care of them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning of the ways
in your life Mr.. Root then observed.
The bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and he comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per-
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing Your country a very great SER
vice. went home. and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
TIE telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to VIII
liam IL. Taft and made him the liepuD'
lican candidate for President Of the
United States.

Obligation. of Civil War.

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war. There was q
still greater debt. an everlasting obi
CATION that could never be paid in full.
But In the years that have followed
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag This pension system. a
product Of the policy Of the Republican
party. has no precedent in history and
no equal in justice and generosity

have learned that it is equally binding
as to what it omlts."
If we could imagine such a crude
prohibition to be enacted into law, ana

the effect? Mr.. Bryan, with his usua'
readiness suggests that the concern
may sell as much of its plants as are
not needed to produce the amount al
lowed by law He speaks as though
every manufacturing concern had as
many fully equipped units of produc-
ton as would correspond to any given
percentage of trade which it might be
required to lop off. Plants are not SO
easily dismembered Reduction in out
put means reduction in work, reduction
in the number of men employed and
curtalment of the efficiency of going
concern. Let lis suppose a concern
which controls so per cent of a given
product-that is to say, makes and
sells $S,000,000 in value out of total
trade in the product amounting to S10,-
100000. Is it to be compelled to reduce
its output to 100000 because only
100000 in value are made by others
Then, If 1t could sell part of its plant
on Mr.. Bryan's theory, what should 1t
sell? Should it sell off enough to re.
duce its capacity to $5O00,00O, and
allow three-fifths Of its plant to remain
idle until others developed capacity
for handling the other $5,000O0O?
Should it assume that the total trade
will increase and is not always to re.
main at $10,000,000, and hence retain
a. larger portion Of its plant in idle
ness? Or suppose concern controls
100 per cent of the trade in some arti
Gle, what plants shall 1t retain? 1t
can produce nothing until others pro-
duce; but it may produce an amount
equal to the production Of others, and
it hopes the trade will grow. What n
vision of business uncertainty and con
fusion, of idle and impaired plants, of
the ruin Of workingmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con
tinued efficiency, Is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction of
trusts
Apart from this, If the dissolution
were effected in. the manner desired
and portions of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested, to whom
would the sale be madet Would it be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi.
tious to be competitors and anxious TO
take advantage of its plight?
This proposal in its utter disregard
Of the facts of business, In its substi.
tuition of the phantasies of the imagin
alton for the realities of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fata,
stamp of 1896 The commerce and in
,lustry of this country, the interests of
IFS wage earners and of its interdepend
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability of business, cannot afford tc
rive license to such vagaries
In the solemnity with which this
proposal has been declared, and the in
sistence with which it is advocated we
find an appropriate test of the capacity
Of our opponents to deal wisely with
the problems of the day.

An example of Mr.. Bryan's reason

"when corporation controls 80 per
cent of the total product it supplies
forty millions Of people with that prod

which have limited market and are
used by relatively small number OF

CHAPTER Xix.-Continued.

1t was a girls voice, clear and firm.
Mary had been the first to realize that
Blacks friends, not Langford's had
joined in the struggle. She SnatChed
her revolver from her cowboy belt
she had not been without either since
the Lazy S was burned-and cried out
her challenge. CHANGING quickly from
the cleaning barrel to the determined
face of the young girl, the men let go
their hold of Langford and fell back
precipitately.
Instantly Langford sprang forward,
but Black had made good use of his
moment Of grace. Swinging his arms
to the right and left, he had beaten his
way to the window, when Langford
again seized him, but he he'd the adj
vantage this time and he tore himself
loose, throwing Langford violently
against the window-casing. With his
bare, clinched fist he shivered the
glass and leaped out-into the arms
Of Jim Munson.
The officers made gallant plunges
through the sampeded crowd in their
efforts to get clear Of the room to fol
low the fugitive. But certain men
managed to keep themselves clumsily,
but with marvellous adroitness, never
theless, between the deputies and the
doors and windows, so that several
moments elapsed before the outside
was finally gained.
Meanwhile Jim struggled heroically
with the outlaw. Black was far SUI
perior to him in weight and strength
OF limb, but Jim was quick and tough
and daring. Expelled from the court
room, he had been watching through
the window. He had seen Mary's
quick action and his boss's splendid
attack. He had also seen the little
sun play and his eyes glowed in ad
miratiG2 Of "Willistons little girl"
though his generous heart ached for
love OF the woman wnc was not for
him. He saw Black coming. he was
ready for him. He grappled with
him at once If the boss or the officers
would only come now!
When they did come they found Jim
stretched at length on the frozen
ground. He sat up slowly.
You're too late, boys" he said:
the boss thief was too much for me.
He's gone"
1t was true. The little street
stretched before them still-deserted.
Early twilight was coming on. The
oltihg cold struck them broadside.
The deputies scattered in vain Dur
suit.

She found it impossible to fall asleeE
again. She was nervous. 1t must be
something in the atmosphere She
tossed and tossed and hOunced and
flounced. She counted up to thou
sands. She made her mind blank
so often that she flew to thinking tC
escape the emptiness of it. Still her
eyes We're wide and her mind fairly
a-quiver with activity. She slipped
out Of bed. She would tire herself
into sleep. She even dressed. She
would show herself. If she must be a
midnight prowler, she would wear the
garments people affect when they
have their thoughts and energies on
matters mundane. Drawing the oil
stove close to the window fronting
the street, she sank into chair, drew
a heavy shawl over her shoulders, put
her feet on the tiny fender and pre-,
pared to fatigue herself into oblivion.
A light shone from the window
across the way. He was still at work,
then. He ought not to sit up so late.
No wonder he was looking so worn
ont lately. He ought to have some
one to look after him. He never
thought of himself He never had
time, She would talk to him al It
keeping such late hours-if she were
not going back to Gods country next
week. Only next week! 1t was too
good to be true-and yet she sighed.
But there was no other way She
ought never to have come. She was
not big enough. He, too, had told her
she was not the kind. Doubtless, he
knew. And she didn't belong to any
body here. She was glad she was 60
ing back to where she belonged to
somebody. She would never 60 away
again.

forth in front of the window? Some
thing must be troubling him, Was

stance; but he was reserved-he
never said-and it was much. much
better that he did not care, now that
she was going away and would never
come back. There was nothing in all
the world that could make her come
back to this big, bleak, lonesome land
where she belonged to nobody. But
she was sorry for him. He looked sad
and lonely. He didn't belong to any
body here, either, yet he wasn't going
to run away as she was. Well, but he
