Where DO YOU STAND

Do vou believe the federal laws
ought TO be enforced against rich and
poor alike?
Do you believe in the square
deal?"
Are you against Illegal combina-
tions to stifle fair competition?
Do you favor the development of
the inland waterways, the conserva-
tion of the natural resources OF the
country, the protection of employees
against injury through lack Of safe
guards. restriction of the abuse of the
injunction-ARE YOU A RoOSE'
WELT MAN?
THEN
Do you not wish his policies to be
prosecuted to the end?
Do you think Roosevelt is a patriot?
Do you think he would support for
his successor a man whom he did not
regard as the most fitted to prosecute
those policies?
Do you not think he has had ample
opportunity to discover Taft's fitness?
Has not Taft in his speeches apd the
Ohio platform pledged himself to
those policies?
If Taft is pledged to these
policies and is fitted to carry them
out, is it not to your interest to do all
in your power to nominate and elect
him?
The first step is to instruct your
delegates to the national convention
to vote for him. The way to do that
is to attend the county convention
and instruct your delegates to the dis
trict convention.

federal circuit court of appeals; las
governor of the Philippines and secre-
tary of war, is unquestionably the
most experienced executive in the
United States.
His duties have been the mos,
Generous Of any statesman of this gen
Grafton. He went to the Philippines
lat a time. when the insurrectionists
were terrorizing the islands, and their
'sympathizers were engaged in a gen
Grafton old struggle with the Catholic
church over the possession OF the
Friar lands. He quieted the spirit of
Instruction and he arbitrated the
church property question to the satis
faction of all parties. When he re-
turned to the Philippines at the open
ing of the general assembly, he was
greeted as a protector.
He Strengthened out the Panama
canal muddle: he has administered
the affairs Of Cuba to the satisfaction
of the Cubans, and In a hundred ways
he has established well earned repu-
tation as dispenser o. exact justice.
In politics his methods have been
strange to the politicians of the old
school. In his home state he was OPP
posed by the officehOlders' machine;
but at a popular primary the people
wrecked the machine, and he came
out of the turmoil triumphant.
Secretary of War Taft should BE-
called secretary Of peace, for alwayp
he is sent where the trouble is worst,
and always he has brought peace.

DUNs wEEkLy REVIEW.

New York, March Favorable
symptoms are more numerous in the
commercial outlook especially in re-
spect to the growth OF confidence.
Jobbers note more pressure to re-
plenish depleted stocks OF staple mer-
chandise, orders in many cases being
for delivery next fan. The advancing
season has also contributed to better
feeling by accelerating distribution Of
spring goods and stimulating inter-
ests in building trades. Industrial
plants are more active, pig iron pro
duction rising to the best weekly aver
age In three months. Credits are still
closely scanned and mercantile collec-
tons are by no means satisfactory.
iyet payments are more prompt and
the volume of business is distinctly
heavier. tl.
Dry goods jobbers have done more
business than was expected, but thus
far there is little improvement the
primary market. and few mills have
resumed activity. Jobbers will not
begin operations as early as usual so
that sales will be closer to the actual
retail distribution. and the seasons
aggregate business be much less spec
ulatiye than In any recent year. Many
buyers have left the woolen market
after placing moderate orders, and
liberal supplementary contracts will
be needed to make up a normal aggre-
gate.
The production of footwear at New
England factories is still much cur
tailed, idle plants not yet having re-
|ceived sufficient fall business to war
rant the starting Of machinery. Quo
tations are nominally unchanged.

FROM THE PEOPLE

From the people comes all Taft's
strength. In Illinois Joe Cannon has
fixed it so the county committees will
select delegates to the congregational
district conventions, and in Chicago
and probably all over the state. Taft
will be second choice. In Ohio popu-
lar primaries were held and every
county instructed for Taft. first. last
and all the time. In Louisville the
Fairbanks men proposed that the
county committee select permanent
chairmen of the ward conventions.
The Taft men insisted that the voters
themselves select their own chairman
knowing that a majority of the voters
would be for Taft.

officers nor enlisted men will wear
gloves hereafter when equipped for
field service. Enlisted men will al
so dispense with the use of white
collars when doing field duty.
Officers will be allowed to wear a
white collar with the service uni
form when in garrison. The de-
cision also forbids the use of white
gloves, which were once looked up-
on as indispensable OH some oc-
casions by officers as we'll as enlist

WRIGHT AEROPLANE
ARRIVES SAFELY
Will Be Put Together Tomor-
row If Aeronaut Arrives
Today, as Expected.

The Wright Brothers aecoplane that
had been lost on the Pennsylvania rail-
road between Dayton, Ohio, and Wash
ington for several days, arrived in
Washington last night or early this
morning. 1t was discovered today by
g. T.. Taylor, one of the men who viii
help Orville Wright operate II, and is
now at Fort Myer, where in a few
days il viii sail over the parade ground
in a contest for the Government purse
Of S25.O00.
The disjointed machine is still packed
in boxes and bundles, but Mr.. Taylor Is
confident that no injury can have come
10 il, since every precaution was taken
in Forwarding IL from Dayton.
WiJh the machine came several hun
dies of wooden rails which are to be
used TO make the track necessary IN
aesoplane flights a half dozen or more
heavy IRON weights ana other things
incidental 10 aerOplane operations.
Put Together Tomorrow.
The machine will probably be set up
tomorrow, although Mr.. Taylor in the
absence Of OrviIIc Wright did not know
Just how soon work would be begun.
Mr.. Wright, however, wifi probably ar
rive in Washington this evening, and
viii likely be desiTOus OF setting the
plane up at once.
Although MT. Taylor does not know
just where the preliminary flights viii
be made, it is probable that there viii
be no attempt at secrecy even in these
flights. since the Signal Corps officers
have decided that the public is entitled
TO witness the working OF the machine
for which il may be called upon to pay.
Until the arrival Of Mr.. Wright the
various boxes, bundles, etc, VIII be
stored in the balloon house at Fort
Myer. so that no matter where he
wishes to make his try outs on the
reservation he VIII be able to make
use of the material in this storehouse.
Mr. Taylor arrived in Washington last
night and found to his surprise that
the aeroplaue had not arrived, although
it had been shipped. he said. from Day
ton last Friday He at once began an
effort 20 locate IT, and notified the Penn
syIvanla Railroad Company that It was
missing. He also wired 10 Mr.. Wright,
who confirmed the date OF shipment
