Organized labor has declared itself
for Taft and Sherman and for Impair
tta1 enforcement Of and loyal obe-
dtence to law. There Is no doubt
that the railroad employees OF the
East win support Judge Taft untted-
ly,p said BENJAMIN q, Chaplin OF
New York, of the Order OF Railway
Conductors.
'fThey believe In him. The great
railroad brotherhoods are una1ter-
ably opposed to Mr.. Bryan's personal
views on government ownership OF
railroads, and our men are with
Judge Taft in his oppositton to that
theory.
I'VE believe. Furthermore. that.
Judge Taft was right in his 1n1unc-
ton record. The principles he laid
down in his decisions have been in-
corporated in the constitution of the
Order of Locomotive Engineers and
in the constitutions of all the other
cations"

Taft's train and assured him of the
support Of the organizations they rep
resented, undoubtedly voiced the
Judgment of skilled and Intelligent
union labor throughout the United
States.
The great mass Of union labor is
with Mr.. Taft because Its members
recognize him as capable and impair
tial In his administration of the law,
because they feel that he is in genu-
Inc sympathy with labor, and because
they know that M. Taft means exc
actly what he says, and will do just
what he says he will do. All that
law abiding, self respecting labor
asks for is square deal within the
law and according to law, and that it
is certain to get at the hands of Pres
tdent Taft.

They think that admiration for Taft
caused him to swing from the Demo-

GRATITUDE OF RELIGIOUS
sEcTs TO TAFT

John r. Mott, secretary of the In
ternational Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, a stanch
Methodist and a worker who by his
energy and ability, has accomplished
wonders for his association in many
parts of the world, praised highly
to-day the aid which Judge Taft gave
to religious organizations in the
Philippines. He was aided greatly
he said. by letter of Introduction
which Taft, as Secretary Of War, gave
him when he went to the Philippines
to raise money with which to help
in constructing Y. NJ. Q. A. building
in Manila. The committee furnished
more than 100000 while Manila
citizens gave $4,000.
cit is difficult to exaggerate," said
Mr.. Mott, 1.-The Importance of the ser
vice rendered by Judge Taft to the
Y. NJ. G. A. and to the cause OF Chris
tian missions in the Far East. His
observation-disclosures and his generous
sympathy have won the hearts and
minds of all persons, of all religions
or no religion, who know what he has
accomplished there.
ANYONE who may, like myself,
have questioned the wisdom of the
United States continuing to occupy
the Philippine Islands, would most
certainly entertain an entirely diff
ferent opinion were he to visit these
islands to-day and note the changes
which have been wrought as a direct
result of American occupation and
achievement. Within less than ten
years there has been built up stable
Observation-Disclosures, provincial and
municipal. A body of laws has been
enacted which challenges favorable
comparison with the statutes of any
country. Ladronism, the curse OF the
islands, has been suppressed, and
Sanitary regulations have been In
troduced and enforced to such an ex-
tent that Manila bids fair soon to be-
come the most healthful city in the
tropics, Notwithstanding its unfav-
orable location. Millions OF dollars
have boon invest ed in substantial ma
terial improvements, especially in
Manila. Improved postal and tele-
graphic communication have been in
troduced, and railway and govern
AS a result of the marvellous ednca--
tional developments involving the ac-
tivities of nearly one thousand Amer
lean teachers, we are now educating
fully 100000 of the youth of the ISL
ands, and even more remarkable than
this has been the raising up and
training of over 5000 Filipino teach
ers. The Tagalogs, Visayans, uoca-
nos and the many other tribes and
peoples scattered throughout over
1900 islands are being unified and
are developing the consciousness of
community of race and the latent
sense of nationality. The dominant
Impression made in the mind of any
one who has visited different Colonial
possessions is that in the Philippines
the altruistic motive has thus far
had right of way, and that a work
has been accomplished of which we
need not be ashamed. The ideal en-
phaslzed by Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Root. Schurman. and especially Judge
Taft, that our purpose in the Phil
ippines is not to exploit them, but to
develop, civiIize, educate and train
on unselfish lines, has been kept in
mind and is still the great motive

The .sepubIican principle that the

Discrimination is consptcuously exc
emplfhed in the rural free delivery
system Instituted by the Postomce
Department during the admintstra-

system was established in recognition
Of the plain fact that the farmer, Nv

OF his mail equally with the business
man residing in the city, and the
success which has attended It's op-
eratioa4 affords conclusive evidence
OF its wisdom and utility.
The development of the rural free
delivery service Is one OF the most
remarkable achievements of the Post

The value of this service 20 the

Moreover, in scores of farming. COM

the result that many thousands OF
miles of improved highway have been
constructed. These modern roads,
RfEordfng the farmer easier access
to market, have increased the value
of his land, thus enabling him to
build better buildings. better fences
and purchase better Implements. In
every community to which the rural

ment That Ninety PES Cent o1

The so-calIed s.tarif; taxes are

sion reached by Arthur ]. 1od Sc,
well known writer on the tas.ss q m
article discussing the various Rse4
of the subject
Mr.. Dodge demonstrates from m

that ninety per cent. OF al taktAH sl4lz

ing little, IL any. OF these dut4ee tq
be paid by the great mass OF people
who are classed as the wage earnets
and farmers.
This information is particularly In
teresting at this time when MT. 649e4l
and his followers are asserting that
"the poor are oppressed by the tSrt1t
taxes and tthe masses are 2 oN6et4
down under the weight of tariG take
upon the mecessartes OF life.
If these duties are really paid by
the American consumer and not by
the foreign exporter, It is thus shown
that the burden, IL burden there IS

In this list the $SO,00O,00 Of
