MR.. TAFT AS A D

Nowland then. In public u~tterance or
private expression, William Howard
Taft discloses a stubborn adherence to
Ger. ain old fashioned notions which
Is bound to engage the attention oil
intelligent voters of both parties In ali
sections. The other iay-August 90
in a speech at Athens, Ohio, he de.
clared that the function of the judge
on the bench was to administer the
law, not to make 1t. when lam a
Judge on the bench" he continued,
lin so far as I can | decide cases &C.
cording to the law and the facts, no
matter whom it hurts, because l be-
lieve that to be my worn duty"
There Is something refreshing In
this. o~ld-fashionej view of the real du.
ty Of the judiciary. 1t has been con.
~sistently maintained by William How.
ard Taft. In his varied service as pros
ecuting officer, as solicitor general OF
the United States, as a judge of the
United States courts, as governor of
h Philippines, and as secretary OF
war, he has had the advantage of a
wider range of oficial duties than any
OF his contemporaries. The record
shows that in every responsibility OF
those important Offices he was not
only faithful but efficient, prompt, i'm
partial and true to himself and the
government. His temperament, e1per.
fence, training and personal inclina.
tion would. II unrestrained, call him
back to the judiciary. As he said In
q recent address: Next to the sacrej
Joys of my family life, the sweetest
memories ! posses are those Of my
services or the bench"
As q Judge Mr.. Taft stood for the
law az made by the lawmaking power
the people themselves. He had nc
time for "court-made law" and his
interpretations 30 just and true
In their relation to all interests thai
he never was reversed by . higher
court,
Mr.PTaft's old fashioned notion thai
the duty Of courts Is to interpret and
enforce the law. not 10 make 1t, will
reach straight to the intelligence Of
thoughtful citizens everywhere. An
appeal to the hard common sense o.
the people on such an issue was neve,
made in vain and never will be.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

One Of the most important things 70
be emphasized at this stage Of the
campaign has been admirably phrascd
In Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to Conrad
Kohrs. Mr.. Taft is' careful to promise
only what he Is confident upon rea.
sonable grounds that he can accom-,
plish.
Perhaps this is the CHIEF reason why
Mr.. Taft is dubbed a poor politician
and is a poor politician from every
standpoint save that of courageous,
selfforgetting public service.
But 1t Is wen for Mr.. Roosevelt to
emphasize this truth sinces some men
are likely thoughtlessly to interpret
Mr.. Taft'sA scrupulous care In state
iment and his honorable care for the re.
ilation Of promise and possible perfor-
nance a swami OF zeal for reform.
1t Is especially necessary in this
campaign against a man whose
emotions. however credftabie they NAV
be in themselves. and whose innate
tendency to rhetorical emphasis are
constantly driving him into broad and
easy and over liberal promises.
Mr.. Bryan Is above all things a cam
.'paigner, and his public ~utterances
never have been characterized by
statesmanly' caution. He has been q
great promiser. 1t is natural. therefore,
that he should ind MT. Taft's public
statements lacking In the effects he
himself achieves al so slight expense.
But when he implies q want Of direct,
ness and explicitness in Mr.. Taft's
~utterances and asks for "a few plain.
simple sentences" he is deliberately
and Enthusiastically disingenuous.
Compare Mr.. Taft's letter of ac-
ceptance with Mr.. Bryan's and MI.
Tafts public addresses with Mr..
Bryan's and see which are straight
forward, judicial. careful of emphasis.
exact. and detail. and which are head
long. general. and little considerable of
consequences.
The republican party invites that
comparison. 1t is the duty OF the in.
tenisent. citizen to make it.-Chicago
Tribune.
, 1908-09-22

"The republican doctrine of pro-
lection, a. definitely announced by the

difference. between the S Of produc.

adherence should, OF course, include

The Philadelphia Record of recent

REPUBLICANS FAVOR uNloNIsM.

city of Newcastle n night last week
ErJ Congressman tMondCl. made a
brief but ekceedingly timely address
uponaissues Of The present campaign.
In discussing the attitude Of 1.-The par.
ties toward labor he called attention
to the fact that 1t Is in republican
states that labor union flourish. There
the best factory, mine inspection and
child labor laws we're to be found;
that in permanently democratic states
there had been but little Legislation
In favor Of the, working men; that the
republican party had placed the emf
ployers liability law. the eight-hour
IN wand other helpful legislation on
the statute books, and that 1t had al
ways maintained condition of plenty
of work and good, wages.
In conclusion Mr. Moniell compared
the two candidates. Bryan, the dream
er, the phrase maker, with his kaieid-
oscopic record, his constant shifting
of position, change of issues of no
recor of accomplishment except that
Of a member of congress in which he
had worked and voted for the Wilson
bill. which brought such disaster TO

Fast of 67 DAYS Fatal.

After having lived for sixty-seven
days without ~partaking of enough
nourishment to sustain the life of a
canary bird Mrs. Elizabeth Gale died
Monday al her home at Indianapolis
Her case is n of the most remark
able in some respects that has ever
come to the attention of ~Indianapoli
physicians and it is doubtful whether
there has ever been a fast exceeding
hers in medical history. One thing
in which it differs from Others is that
during the time which she abstained
from food all the water which she
drank was small sips. sufficient only
TO moisten the tongue and practically
none Of which reached the stomach.
The case has baffled diagnosis by the
attending physician.
Mrs. Gale on last Thanksgiving day
becaVe suddenly i'll. Her digestive
organs refused to receive food, her
appetite disappeared, never to return
and wen suggestions of eating maui
seated her. Efforts to supply pre-
digested nourishment by injection
failed and were soon abandoned. Al.
though Mrs. Gale was not apparently
a strong woman at the time she was
stricken her long endurance surprised
all who were aware OF the conditions
AT the time of her death she was
greatly emaciated, her weight being
reduced from 120 pounds to probably
fifty pounds.
